Another working weekend for me, so didn’t really get up to much.

Managed to watch the Superbowl last night, and it was super, a bit of a whoopsie from Janet Jackson, during the half-time show, kinda spoiled it (I don’t wanna see that!) but the 3rd and 4th quarters were some of the most exciting NFL I’ve seen in a long while (think I’ve been watching too much Claymores)! Looks like a couple more Superbowl rings for some ex-Claymores, shame they don’t perform as well at Hampden in NFL-Germany.

Also heard that Sheila and Nikki won’t be coming down for Valentines & Nikki’s birthday as previously advertised, apparently the horse has gotten injured and the vet bill are horrendous -> its the best excuse I’ve ever heard! Just as well really cos I’m supposed to be moving that weekend and wouldn’t be a very good host.

Gonna get whipped at badminton again tonight by the usual gang but its the taking part that counts doesn’t it? Gonna try and not shout and swear as much this week as well as making sure I actually get the shuttle over the net for a change.

More great news from Sri Lanka, I wonder if Mum & Dad have another armed batallion outside the front door… Armed guards for Sri Lanka church(not Dad’s though!)

The best game on the web, simple but addictive:http://meph.eu.org/ (my rubbish top score is 592.5!) – try and get the penguin to bounce.

Had a weekend of mixed fortunes, spent Saturday flat hunting in the East End of London, saw some nice places, saw some dumps, and saw a really strange house with a well in the basement and cupboards hidden behind fake bookshelves. Ironically the nicest place we saw was just next door. Saturday night we headed to Wimbledon to Parminder’s flat warming/birthday party. Despite the noxious & luminous cocktails we went to Wimbledon’s premier club – “Po Na Na”. It was quite small and packed but good music and everyone seemed up for a laugh, didn’t see a single agressive yob daring me to spill his drink. Ended up back at Parminder’s listening to Bon Jovi (yes they’re rubbsih but both Parminder & Janette “are their biggest fans”) until 5:30. Despite Matt’s best effort to keep us awake and watch the sun-rise (he works for a fire-control MOD project called “Skynet” – I kid you not) we all collapsed soon after the music stopped.

Sunday was a trek back across London and then made a start to packing up the flat. Here comes yet another week of work…

Speaking of which, I played badmonton on Monday night and was both angry and terrible, lost every games I played! Time for a new raquet I think, can’t be anything wrong with my play.

Every so often you’re just surfing the web or reading a magazine and something you do just randomly appears, this is the project I work on (according to this its pretty good but I wouldn’t like to say…) eSPEAR – VNUNet’s Project of the Year??
