Damn it! I was really looking forward to listening to the new Hitch Hikers Guide stuff on BBC Radio 4 tonight, but I was on my unicycle. No matter I thought, I can listen to it again via “Listen Again”. That’s all well and good, and I can listen to it again. But only once it’s been repeated on Thursday night. Twunts the lot of ‘em

Met up with Al Houston on Friday night and enjoyed a free and relativly cheap night in DUSA. Had a QuadDamage (Quad Vodka, Lemonade and Blackcurrant) to bring back some good old memories and then completely wipe them out again 
DUSA really have done a lot and the changes are most impressive. Although it was odd to get lost in somewhere I was so used to 
Had an early start on Saturday to head over to the airshow. Met with everyone at the train station and got over to Leuchars nice and early before any of the flying had started. It’s been the first airshow I’ve been to with Jets. The previous experience being a damn busters thing which involved more WWII aircraft. The day was great, really enjoyed myself. Myself, Dave and Mike all had a whirlymacopter flight which was a laugh, although fairly expensive. It’s just reaffirmed my thoughts of wanting to become a helicopter pilot. 
I was really glad that I’d popped to Boots in the morning to get some earplugs. The Eurofighter Typhoon was ear splittingly loud 
Also discovered that the wonderful thing about Tiggers is that they are apparently qualified to pilot F16’s
Once the day was over we headed back to Dundee. Whilst on the train we spotted the most perfect rainbow I have ever seen. It was a perfect semi-circle, truely wonderful. When back we all agreed to meet back at mine for curry. Started to clean the place up and then get a really painful headache so had to lie down. Everyone turned up and we had vindaloo’s all round. I’m kinda glad that I had this cold since it stopped me feeling the effects on my mouth too much.
I was supposed to be skirmishing today, but I’ve felt really shitty today Hopefully this illness I’ll clear itself up over the next few days. Tonight I’m heading over to Broughty Ferry for a meal to celebrate Yhan’s birthday.
My uvula is swollen, I guess it’s part of the on going illness I’ve been suffering Hopefully it should clear up soon enough, it’s just annoying because it’s sitting on my tongue and making me salivate a lot. Whilst googling for this perplexing medical problem I happened across some very strange websites. You really can find anything on the internet.
Anyway had a few meals out with people, games night at Sams, drinkies and grub at Liams. Got a night out tomorrow in DUSA, the Leuchars airshow on Saturday. Sunday should be skirmishing and Kerry will be back. Hull Borns
Damn it, a couple of hours ago I failed my practical driving test Two serious faults. I agree with the one of the serious faults, less so with the other. Annoyed because it means
The first serious fault was for observation, didn’t see a guy too well, so pulled out early. I knew as soon as I’d done it I’d failed. So that’s fair enough. Second was for for obstacle avoidance, the guy said I went too fast through a narrow gap.
Oh well it’s all experience for next time
In the real world they would be hard pushed to get a job that paid them £20,000 a year, never mind a week - Bobby Robson
Too fucking right! I really do hate football, I think it’s a complete waste of time, but each to their own I guess. The one thing that really winds me up though is the wages these people get. Something in me just finds it wrong that these people get paid so much for kicking about a bit of inflated leather, when people are on the streets, kids aren’t getting the best education or health provision.
Okay I admit, one can’t really equate the failings of government when it comes to providing public services, with the private funding of the players. But come on! £20,000 a week. That’s just taking the piss
