Just finished watching Notting Hill on Channel 4 with Emma. I haddn't seen it before, It's was really cool I haven't laughed like that for sooo long, it was brilliant.
Ok, haven't blogged for a while, and this is probably gunna be short cos I'm totally buggered, watched the Super Bikes, Clare and Al came over last night after going flat hunting after the flat they were going to move into on friday fell through about 6 hours before they were meant to move in, hmmmm headline "flat own gets knee capped, judge lets cappers off, warns flat owner not to be such a wanker". Thursday night went to the boardwalk (link somewhere else and I can't be arsed finding it now) and were having fun until Emmas bag walked out with someone else, people that lift stuff should have there goolies cut off with a soldering iron. Oh went to Luigi's on ummm wednesday or tuesday or, no no it must have been one of those two, anyway there were these people at another table who kept running up to the speaker and putting there phone next to it ( and dialing a number ) and then a sms would arrive and it would be all the details of the music playing, artist album etc, and you could buy it from there site. blah blah blah.

Emma and I just walked back from tesco's and saw the most amazing thing, it was raining on our street but not where we were, kinda cool being able to see the rain and walking into it. I'm sounding like a stoner, maybe you had to be there. Right seeing as two people have now asked, we are moving to Oz, no we aren't planning on getting married, I'm not sure why moving to a new country infers marriage, but there you go.

Went out for drinks with people from work for Wills birthday lastnight, started at board walk and ended up at form again, was cool. Emma couldn't make it cos she was feeling totally buggered which was a bit shite.

From the mail server:

The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes.
He may exist on nuts and berries,
Or then again, on missionaries;
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods.
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.
-- "The Wombat"

And I just saw a link to this.
Rich installed Cave on his phone last night, looks good, already have a couple of updates that hopefully I'll have done tonight, wahoo wahoo. Also added a wap site, ok page, so it's easier to install via a phone, the address is wap.jonoabroad.com.

Well we have finally told everyone (ok some people) at work that we are leaving. I can't believe it's only four months to go,about time to start looking for work I guess. Clare and Al came over for dinner last night, was cool to see them, managed to not drink an insane amount, which is good. About to go for a walk and spend some money then its out into the sun, it's meant to get to 33 today so its going to be crazy. Righto.

What a brilliant night, apart from the hell that was the Wednesday update and our XML data store being shite, went to the George for a few, then decided to look around for somewhere new and found form which was soo cool, fucking amazing Hip-Hop, New York styles from 80s/90s insane break dancing, fucking brilliant. From there we went onto some place playing lounge / Jazz, which was well laid back and wicked, this is how Soho living should be, fucking Brill. Ooo also discovered a load fun using a mobile and predicative texting.
Oh and from My West Minster Noel[1] lives round here, hmmm haven't seen him much.

Well it's half twelve and I can't sleep so I may as well blog now rather than the morning. Emma and I took Monday off and had a long weekend, and and saw her parents, my god rail in this country is crap. One reason to come back on the Monday rather than Sunday was that there is line maintenance from Now till the end of the year on every weekend, with means ever train journey to the north west is broken with an hour bus trip, needless to say the train companies were saying it would only add an hour or so to the journey, however if you believe this look outside there are pigs flying. It was however nice to be out of London and as always wonderful and relaxing to see them, even if we have both eaten and drunken what we would normally consume in two week in 3 days. Oh yes and the clan gets bigger Mike and Trish had a baby girl, Sophie Patricia, 7 lb 4 oz born at 5 past 12 on Monday morning so wahoo wahoo, hopefully we hear more from Lisa at some stage. Back to staying at Emma's parents, it was sooooooooo nice to be somewhere without constant noise, in fact quite the opposite, almost constant silence and by god its refreshing, means you can really relax. Oooo spoke to Dad on his birthday last week, he and mum been out to dinner and both sounded good, which is cool. One last thing about rail coming back on monday it was a direct train, no stops and they were still 25 minutes late on a journey that was meant to take 2 and half hours, how, how how, the "train manager" said it was due to speed restrictions, but surely they knew of these before the train left our station, when they gave our ETA, the restrictions have only been in place for about 2 months, grrrr.

Out drinking lastnight, and just had two bacon and egg sandwiches and instead of being at the beginning of the day I should really be getting back into bed and going to sleep for a few hours. However to sort out a few things about Mt Rushmore, the Presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, its Located in Keystone, South Dakota. I want one of these how cool is that, of course not quite as cool as one of these.
Well we are back to the hell of Excelon, I mean we are only using it as a glorified operating system and for searching over 2500 ~3K documents AND it goes tits up, ummmm hello, never pay for XML Store espically when its totally crap. Use open source look here if you want something thats probably good look here, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If you have a bloodstained knife in your pocket, are you carrying a congealed weapon?

Went to Jane and Richards combined hen and stag do yesterday in Brighton for a day of kitsch on the pier, it was loads of fun, playing crazy golf, arcade games and going on some of the rides. We then all wandered up to a restaurant part way up the hill for dinner. Emma and I only hung round for a drink as we are both feeling coldy and completely buggered, which was a shame it would have been nice to stay for dinner and have been able to more of a chat with people. We had a fun day anyway so thanks Jane and Rich. Sports wise I see in the herald that the All Blacks lost to the Wallabies, I really don't see them being a good team for a few more years yet, boo suck.
