I went indoor skydiving at Milton Keynes at the weekend. Matt bought me a session for my birthday in January and its taken me this long to sort out. Thanks to b1te (Matt’s company) for the video and the DVD – it’s really cool, even if I do look like a prat!

Now very tempted to rip and upload my sky dive from New Zealand – anyone interested in seeing it?

Didn’t get to see the game sadly but was glued to my phone for updates… but thanks to YouTube for the highlights…
Everything is crossed for Wednesday and then what will be will be when we play Italy.
Avenue Q
Oct 12th
I went to see Avenue Q last night in the West End. Was very impressed; hilariously funny. Definitely influenced by Sesame Street (Cookie Monster and Bert and Ernie rip-offs) but very good. Laughed out loud most of the way through and even giggled like a girl. If you like South Park, Team America or anything similar then you’ll love this.
Just don’t take the kids, cos its definitely for adults – featuring such hits as “everyone’s a little bit racist” and “the internet is for porn”!
The weirdest thing about the whole night, is that the puppets are on stage with puppeteers attached and singing, but for some reason you stop looking at the real person and watch the puppet move and talk. Surreal…
