foolfillment: the blog

I can’t work out why that might be. I mean, that kids go out and play in fields and rivers and beaches when it’s nice weather (which happen to coincide with holidays) is just absurd. Surely there are more injuries when they’re sitting inside on rainy days at their desks at school?

It was the 19th annual pooh-sticks championships on Sunday.I had never realised there was such a competition but now I do I’m determined towin it next year, who’s with me?

greenhamster today reveals the spider the size of a puppy living above him to be a squirrel. funny that, i’ve come to the conclusion that there are rabbits living above me, going by the sounds i hear.

I went to see The Life of David Gale last night with Stuart, Stuart and Morven, and I have to say it was the best film I’ve seen this year by far, it really gets you involved right from the start ad does’t let you go untill about two hours after it finishes. I thoroughly recommend you see it as soon as you can.

• I like getting to a junction and being able to cross without waiting for a gap in traffic
• I don’t like getting to a junction and being able to cross without waiting for a gap in traffic but having to wait behind people who think the green and red men are more than just warnings or advice
• I like today’s weather
• I don’t like having flat tyres on my bike and no pump and not being able to go out cycling today in today’s weather
• I don’t like the new cash machine in the union - see my earlier post today
• I like the water I get from my tap at home
• I don’t like having to pay for the same water when I’m in Glasgow
• I don’t like not having a dog to take on a walk on days like today
• I like the fact that next weekend I’ll be home and will have a dog to take out on days like today
• I liked the letter in the Metro today about ‘bus surfing’
• I don’t like the website for the Metro
• I like the idea that I am going to the cinema tionight and missing the marathon of televisual ‘comedy’ that is Comic Relief
• I like Sunday nights at The Lock especially when the music is as good as it was last Sunday^†
• I don’t like that the price of happy hour* drinks has gone up to ?1.80 at the lock

† The music ranging from The Eagles to Marvin Gaye, from The Marcells to New Order
*Happy Hour being from 4pm till closing every day.

There is a new cash machine in the Union and it’s rubbish.
You have to wait about a full minute after the last person has taken their cash before it accepts your card. Then you can only take out cash in multiples of ?20.

And so it managed to waste the time of about 3 different groups of people when I went to get my lunch today. Everyone in the queue was annoyed because they had to wait for so long just to get cash, I was annoyed because I had to take out ?20 (and am more likely to spend all of that this weekend now rather than saving it) and it annoyed the girl in the shop when I took all of her change with my ?1.10 sandwich and then everybody who was in the queue with me did the same.

i saw Joos Valgaeren yesterday with wife and bairn. He had his mouth shut for once and looked almost unlike a thuggish oaf
