Staying Up
6th Form Party
Staying down here
Swade's Visit
Firstly apologies to Tays who it's going to look like I've copied him...I just need to write down things I want to talk about before I forget about them. As he also told me how to get pics up here's another link to his site
http://tays9.blogspot.com
Excellent,now I'm guilt free
Pranks
Being in an all guys flat you might expect the odd 'Jape' (trib any standard theasaurus) to go on. Roll on a top 5 pranks performed so far.....
5. Making fun of Marco because he's Italian/Larry because he's short
To the untrained eye this may look like bullying,and theres already been a few comments aimed at me that I'm a git for doing it. However these comments come from people who arent recieving the attention they crave and are simply jealous (possibly). Larry and Marco dont really care (I hope) and as a reward I'll stick up two of the worst conditioned photos you'll ever see in your life.
Jokes at Larry mostly consist of him being a borrower (As in the little people,not a theiving git) ,him falling down a crack which is why he's late most times and my personal fav
"Larry,stop laughing,if you fall off your seat you'll never survive that drop"
Jokes at Marco will usually just include "Thats not the way we do things in England" etc etc
4. Cooking
Jamie's the best at this one,when someones cooking and leaves the room for a moment,take their food out the oven etc and hide it on top the fridge,cupboards etc. Simple but incredibly funny to watch
3.Ironing board
Rich put the ironing board under Jamies matress. For three days Jamie couldnt sleep properly and had no idea why until he made his bed a few days later and found it. I think his exact words were "You Bastards" but im not entirely sure
2. Anything Trolley related
(i) When someone leaves their bedroom open after they've gone out,when they come back 9 times out of 10 there will be a massive ASDA trolley in it,full of the weeks rubbish in 9 or so massive binliners,smelling the place up. Make no mistake it is a bitch to get out,taking a good 5 mins of your time up
(ii)When the persons either asleep or working in their room,silently block up their entrance with the trolley,settees and coffee table. Then announce that your all off to the pub.
(iii) With the rubbish bags in the trolley lean it against someones closed door,then knock on it screaming for help and hide.
1. Not the best prank,but the funniest by far. Rob mentioned he only had 4 pairs of underwear left before we were set to go out one night. Que me and Rich going into his unlocked room and stealing all 4 pairs,leaving Rob knocking on our doors an hour later with that "I've just got out the shower and realised what you bastards have done" look about him. Good old Bobby,he loves a prank long as he's not the victim.
In fairness he did get us back by putting "Squezzy Cheese" all over our door handles next day....
A better one then 5 would prob be Jamie who convinced me that the pen he used to draw a robber mask on me for his art prject would come off,in his own words "Straight away".
Off course it didnt, I had a field trip the next day and had to go after several scrubs with a faded robber mask outline all over my eyes making me look like a complete prick.
Yeah thats better then 5 but it took me ages to scan those pics in so not changing that now.
Staying Up - Southampton FC, well worth a bet on them to stay up and finish higher then Portsmouth this year!!! Altho I dont actively support them,I live 2 mins away from ground and have seen a couple of games and like most people would love to see them stay up,if not only so I could go to Highbury one last time next year.
The 6th form party was quality,despite my fears coming true. For the 3rd time in a row I was denied a Guiness hat because JD Weatherspoons are basically tossers.
I got in there around 8pm and imediately asked if there were any hats
"No mate,we ordered more this year but they've still all gone"
Yeah nice to see the staff still got theirs - Did they drink 5 pints of Guiness,I think not. And I could only see another 4 hats belonging to customers there.
"Better get more hats this year, last year 8 wasn't enough"
"OK make it 10 then"
Typical, theres only one town which universally attracts drunks,chavs and townies and I was drinking in it.
Meeting up with everyone again was quality. However I was on a limited time and budget limit and after 3 vodka's realised it wasnt the way to go. Cue the standard tacky bottle of Red for £6 which I ended up having to down in the end. Vile stuff but it did the job. I recall spending most of the eve on the pole with Mounty which is just as good a way as any to spend it I guess...
After walking Swade back (a good mile out my way) I finally get in at 3 and check train times. It results in me leaving at 5am to get the earliest train back. I try to sleep on the train but am disturbed by an OAP woman conductor who insists on putting a newspaper under my feet as I have them resting on a chair,despite the fact they are clean.
Because of this,the extra elevation causes my railcard to fall out my pocket so now I've lost that for the minute,meaning I have to explain this back at Southampton at 7am.......
Anyway thats going to be my last activity in Trow for a while. I'm staying up here to catch up with my work over Easter and try and get a job,due to a tight budget and want to sort all my notes out. Jamies up here too (Cue stupidly oversized pic)...
So it's quite cool and Rich left his room open. What a ledge,it gives me full access to his quality comedy DVD collection.
Ledge
And it's not been too bad, Swade left today after staying for a few days which was a laugh. As he's on a gap year,he experienced Budget shopping at ASDA,mastering the art of doing sod all all day and Jamie drawing a moustache on my face while I was asleep.
However as he's mentioned a contreversial story on his blog (www.Swade.blogspot.com)
I feel I have to put my view of it across.
We were playing on the Playstation version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" competing it out against one another. I get this as £200 question
What would you use to play Cannesta with?
A.Dice B.Cards
C.Coins D.Counters
Thats a £200 qustion there of course. Yeah like hell is it!! I've seen the show,It's usually "What colour is a pig" or something like that.
If your reading it now,and your not Swade,do you honestly know the answer?
No course you dont!!!
Dont bullshit me you dont!!!
Anyway after swearing at Tarrant I consider my options.
50/50 - Useless
Audience - Better for harder questions
Friend - If its a £200 question,they'll probably know it.
"Hello Sarah,it's Chris Tarrant here"
"Hi Chris (woman,Jamaican accent prob around 30-40"
"4 possible answers,your friend needs the right one"
"Cannesta... I remember that,it's that game where you throw Dice and have to get two Sixes. Thats the answer"
Now if your friend needed your help,and you blatently didnt know the answer,what would you do??
A. Tell them and apologise
B. LIE - Guess wildly at an answer and then bluff your way into convincing them your right.
Guess which she had fucking done....
WHY DO ALL WOMEN LIE TO ME!!!!
She'd even told me how to play the fucking game for god sake!! Of course im going to go with that answer.
Bloody typical. Of course Swade loved it and got to the million question with 50-50 and audience left. After limiting himself to 2 answers,he was about to go for the wrong one...
I stood waiting to laugh at him as it turned orange and then...
The game froze!!! Absolutely typical.
Song of the Day - Looking back over my shoulder - Mike and the mechanics!!
Word of the Day - Cannesta

P.s The answer was 'Cards'
