Right,
It's Friday. Monday is a bank holiday. Three days off for most of us.
What're you fuckers up to?

If the answer is "going shopping" I don't care.

Then off to Gran Canaria for a week of reading and relaxation - paid for in full by my girlfriend who I'm on the verge of splitting up with.

Wish me luck....

cheers folks
It's a make or break job - with her stroppy, spoilt 15 year old son thrown into the mix for added tension....

Combined with the fact that I'm a cultural holiday kind of fellow as opposed to a beach mong, it's going to be a looooong week....
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 22 May 2009, 9:36, Reply)

Actually I get 4 days off...
And have decided to take the rest of the week as well...

Probably will be painting the porch and on Thursday going to see a local band who are rather good :)

Le Weekend
My weekend is fully planned, with:

- diabetes measurement work (neural network to give to the NHS)

- detail research proposal for MRes (Bayesian model to predict device placement)

- fraud scorecard research for a friend

- Monaco GP (qualifying and race - always good for some entertaining action (read: accidents))

- dog walking at Greenwich Park with Millie

...and *not* shopping!

Before I start bitching about it, is the wedding you're going to in Essex? Just in case you're the groom's brother or something...

What's the theme for your birthday do then?
Or just general fancy dress?

I also saw that Rosberg was fastest in first practice yesterday, quite a surprise.

Oh obviously not the F1 fail.
just the car stuff. *rolls eyes and huffs*

I sooooooo want Vettel to win. I hear red bull have put the double diffuser on for this race though so hopefully that will give them a bit more speed. Their tactics were massively flawed in Spain though
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 22 May 2009, 9:40, Reply)

TGB loves Vettel, TGB loves Vettel ...
the double diffuser should be good for the race - especially when straight line speed is so not the order of the day in Monaco.

i think monaco is my favourite GP in the entire season; that, or Spa.

Hmm.

(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Fri 22 May 2009, 9:46, Reply)

I hope that diffuser
won't compromise the car in any way; seems like a bit of a knee jerk to get the pace up to Brawn.

Having said that, if they do get it right, it'll be a corker :D
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 22 May 2009, 10:21, Reply)

Agreed
the ability to get up with Brawn is excellent; having seen Ross Brawns' face when he was with Ferrari (not smiling much, despite having M. Schumacher as a driver) vs Ross Brawns' face when he's got his own team (albeit the Honda team in all but name) = grinning like the Cheshire Cat...YES!

And as for Ferrari now? Go fcuk yourselves.
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Fri 22 May 2009, 10:24, Reply)

I think it was the fact
that (probably) at Ferrari they didn't give him free reign with the car, and now that he has his own team, he can do whatever he wants! Obviously resulting in a great car.

Mind you, if he had been able to tinker when Schumacher was driving can you imagine how even more one sided it would have been?

Long weekend?
Lucky fuckers. No such thing here (though our holidays occur on the date, rather than a set day of the week, meaning occasional mid-week breaks - but also weekend holidays with no bloody supermarkets open).

Anyways - tomorrow, I will be possibly shopping for some new work-type shoes (trainer-type anyway).

Then Sunday, I will be raping the manual search on my new digital box to find a channel delivering both the last day of the Scottish Premier (go Celtic/Dundee United), and then the same for the EPL (go Newcastle) - depending on how things go, Monday will either see my students being introduced to the delights of Irn-Bru, or a stinking depressed hungover teacher.

at the rugby club so it'll be lots of large ugly drunks, and rather a lot of blokes too.

Then tomorrow I'm off to see Star Trek with the man and the kids - belated birthday treat for me. Then tomorrow evening I'm being taken out for a meal...apparently. I say apparently because as far as I'm aware no arrangements for this event have taken place.

On Sunday I'll be nursing a hangover.

Monday....I've no idea.
