Damn bloody car, Damn bloody garage.

Put the car in for it's MOT on Friday, and it's failed. Ended up a boot on the steering mechanism had split, and a rear wheel bearing had excess play. Got a quote from them, and assurances that the car would be ready by Sunday morning. I get a call a bit later saying they can't get the part for the bearing till Monday morning.

Now, I had the day off on Friday to take the car down, and took the day off on Monday on the assumption that I could pick the car up that evening. Called at 4pm, and was told that they hadn't had the part in, and that it would be in on Tuesday.

So I take the train in to work on Tuesday. Now, the station is a half hour walk away, and to get to work for 8am, I have to leave the flat at 5:30, catch the 6am train, with a 15 min walk the other end.

So I call up today, and they get told that their supplier can't get the part they quoted, as it isn't made yet. This is a 1997/98 car.

So the walk home, I walk straight past a pub. I'm like "Fuck it, a pint is in order". Along rolls the second pint, and I'm being a sad git, sat there eating dinner by myself.

The Problem with Maria??

OK, maybe it's a bit gay watching a program to choose who will play the lead in the Sound of Music on stage, but tonight it at least proved I have a damn good eye for the ladies.

I've been watching Sinchronicity, it brings together 2 of my favorite programmes of the last few years. It seems to have half the cast of As If, and the Mum from Doctor Who. Unfortunately I missed last weeks, and managed to download it. Anyways, was watching it tonight and there was this character in it who is a Dutch porn star. As soon as I saw her, I was like "I'm sure I recognise her" and after a while I was certain it was Simona, the Romanian entrant, which was poven to be correct by the credits.

Go my eye for the ladies!!!

Getting away for a bit.....

Well, I've finally decided to bugger off for a semi-proper holiday.

This was all prompted by a visit to my local outdoors pursuits shop and picking up a leaflet for outdoorsy holidays. Looking through it, I was tempted by a certain activity. A few days later I booked up.

So come 27th August, I'm off to France for a week to do some kitesurfing. It's been something I've been thinking about for a while, and this was just the temptation I needed. They provide pretty much all the kit, teach you how to do it, and keep an eye on you. Trouble is tho, I can see me ending up spending 3 times the cost of the holiday when I get back so I can kitesurf back here.

But Yayy!! Kitesurfing dude!!!!!
