Demob Happy
That's it. I've had much work to do this week but it's all over. I've got a day off tomorrow floucing about doing very little before seeing one of my favourite folk musicians, King Creosote.

After that I'm going to spend the weekend with my gorgeous girlfriend Roota sorry to everyone who's sick and tired of our shenanigans already. What are you up to this weekend?

And there's a bird with what sounds like a bicycle pump following me around the country.

meh
drunken waffle is fine, and it's probably me being blissfully unaware of life around me more than anything you guys have done.

Coming to the beer festival then? what do you reckon to Cambridge? it's a bit twee but I like it
(Halfy By light alone, Fri 2 Apr 2010, 9:02, Reply)

I love Cambridge!
But then I own lots of gingham things without irony, so twee is supa dupa as far as I'm concerned.
I might go to the beer festival, if he makes good on the promise to take me punting.

You from there or did you move there?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 2 Apr 2010, 9:06, Reply)

from just south of Cambridge
but lived in the area all my life apart from a disasterous 9 months at Coventry university.

Haha punting is bloody hard work, and in the summer insanely busy, but good fun if there is a gang of you and some alcohol
(Halfy By light alone, Fri 2 Apr 2010, 9:09, Reply)

Sod the gang
I want it like the Cornetto advert ;)

Oh man, Coventry ftw. I went to an open day there, and me and my dad HOT-FOOTED it out of there with Slight Return blaring on the stereo!
Then I did a disastrous 3 months at Sheffield instead.

Go on a weekday then
it will be a little less touristy. can recommend the ghost tour as well if it is still running.
Yeah biggest mistake of my life going to uni, spent the next 5 years trying to pay off all the debts in shitty jobs, it broke me quite badly :(

Still, all is well now

I'll NEVER get it paid off. Nay mind. It was ace like.

Aside the toffee stuff on a toffee apple (and actually, carny -folk of the world, it's caramel, not toffee, stop mislabeling your products), they're rubbish.
A '"toffee" Banana' though, that would be awesome, that's the sort of thing a guy like me can get behind.

They should be slices of of banana so you get more toffee.
OR maybe, just maybe, they could hedgehog the top by cutting into it and bending it ever so slightly.

Needs to be on a stick, you're not allowed to use more than one hand for food at a carnaval.
Because your other hand is needed for doing things like making sure nobody has pinched your purse out of your handbag, or putting 2p in the "Put 2p in, and it gets knocked down 3 different levels, and hopefully will push a big pile of 2ps over the edge for you to collect" machine.
