Run Around A Roundabout For a Pound???

Okay, so today is a horrible wet rainy day, but one of my friends came to visit from a neighbouring city. The plan was to just hide in the pub all day. We started playing on the games machine and ran out of cash so we remembered that I had bought a scratchy and won a fiver on it. So off we went to go and get the money for that. A couple of my friends were in the pub anyway so they looked after the stuff. The shops is only around the corner anyway.

So we were walking along, and the pub and shop are around the corner from each other, with a huge round about in the middle. And then it happened

I dropped the scratch card.

As I have already said it was a windy day, so i'm screaming, crouched over running to get this bloody scratch card.

It went into the road.....

This is possibly the busiest roundabout where I live, and the scratch card travelled into the middle of this bloody roundabout. Now we are laughing our head off as we run around trying to decide how to get our scratch card back. So we realised it was going towards the North Side of the roundabout (we were on the south side). We ran over the zebra crossings and made it into the central reservation on that road. It was about a metre on to the roundabout. It was a part of the road that cars didn't go over. I wasn't brave enough to go that far.

My friend was. Yeah he saved the day by getting this scratchcard that we so desperately wanted......

It was for £1

Another update from meeee.



I just had dinner, something mexican. Yeah it was okay but I still want home made garlic bread. I will be making it in a minute. Anyhow. I hope everyone is doing okay. As you know I like recieving comments, and I will always reply to them where I see fit. Basically whats im saying is if your comment was shit, i wont be replying hahaha.



Im watching Come Dine With Me and there is this annoying American woman on there. She was like "Calamari is one starter, not calamari and all these other things"



WELL THATS HOW WE DO OVER HERE LOVE OKAY.



Bloody joke! Tbh I don't think any of them are English pure breed. Lol. I don't think there are many people in this world anymore that are pure in any race or culture are they?



Find me one and you'll win a prize (proof of pureness needed) (:



Yazz Flute



Sorry that was on my mind. I wanna make this blog a bit better but I really don't know how.



Anyway my mum bought this thing called a DryBuddy. Its kind of like a tumble dryer except there is no tumble too it. Here it is in action:

Isn't it a beast hahaha. Its from JML and I think it cost my mum abotu £70. I think we should have just gotten a bloody tumble dryer, but hey ho. It reminds me of the kind of hire stuff you gget at hotels. Like tiny hairdryers or value irons that burn everything. Although this marshmallow has yet to burn my clothes. If it does it will be paying for them. I don't know if it has much money, but it will be paying, mark my words.

It's half term at the minute (mini party) and Im not working. I was speaking to this woman my mum works with and she asked me what I was doing in my holidays and I said nothing, She was like your not even working.... Why would I want to work during my holidays you fool. Who has 2 weeks of uni to spend working all the time. I just nearly lost this entire blog.So I would not have been impressed. I might have even screamed. Im thinking if turning this into a multipurpose blog, with a general chat everynow and again, recipes, and craft instructions.

I dunno it might happen although I might not.....

Report back sooon

Those Zombie Eyes and the Late Night Ramblings

I had written a huge blog but it just got deleted...........................

GRRRRRRR

Bed now!

Stupidity and Captaincy

Okay. This one isn't actually from a train, and I am writing it a few days after the original paper copy was written.....but here goes me.

Im sat in a dingy social club on the estate where I live (not an estate like in Shameless, its alot more demure than that) and the social club is everything I hate. It looks like its not been decorated in about a hundred years, and it smells of damp. Anyway this has nothing to do with my blog. I'm here because my fiancees darts team have a match tonight, thier last match of the season. After the team played a few legs (a round of darts, so 701, 501 or 301) something came to my attention. A vital skill that darts players need is being able to count and add up. For example if you are left with 57 how can I score that. And there are plenty of darts players who can't do this. Even when its adding up thier three dart score they can't do it, and don't even talk to me about when they get doubles and triples. Now I don't understand this. There are several people in my darts teams who have played for years and years for county and so on..... so how is it they still can't add up. I doesn't add up lol.

So there is stupidity for you........

And captaincy...........

Our team captain has been away for a while, so as with anything the vice captain has of course stepped in to take over. Now the vice captain is a great bloke, and he's been giving me the job of sorting all the book and sheet out, because we have to record the score formally for the league website, and the book for our personal records. I have also been picking the placement thingys and so on. But the v.c has been telling me what to do every step of the way (i actually wrote day but then got embarrassed haha. stupid mistake huh?). So on Wednesday evening we were chatting, about how next season I would still like to be secretary, cause it really gives me something to do, and I enjoy it. The v.c just sat there and went "Well, do you want captaincy". I was so shocked and I said yes. So indeed. You are reading the blog of the Captain of The Swan Male Dart's team.(Yes the MALE team). I am really excited about this and I cant wait to get stuck it.

Now I am going to snuggle down in bed and read for a bit, and then post again in a few hours about whats been bothering me today

Bye xx

Tuesday 23 March 2010

Well here's my new post. I don't really know what to say today but I'm just going to sit and type. Im sat on my own, with my messy house, not really knowing what to do. I'm watching Richard Hammonds something or other, and I remember reading a few weeks ago that someone had obviously gotten a high speed camera for christmas, and they just wanted to play with it.

I agree.

There isn't much point to this program because it isn't teaching me anything. But I am sat watching it. I don't know why. Its just making me sigh. I should be tidying, and drawing the curtains. Instead I'm watching Richard Hammonds something or other.

A tree branch is on fire.

I like fire.

I might actually get up and do something, and then come up with something witty to discuss.

Seeing you on the high speed!

Reservations and URLLLL

Oooookay. So. Here's blog number 2. (In real life that would have had a drum roll). Its 9:54 and someone was in my seat. This I could have done without at this time of the day. Not only was it a seat, it was a table seat.
Anyway, I say to the miscreant in my seat (oh and believe me he was a miscreant, but more about him later) "I'm sorry but you're in my seat" and this guy, just went "oh". He did get up but he also looked really really fed up about. WEEEELLLL I am sorry but its my bloody seat!

CHECK THE DISPLAY YOU MORON!

He was a miscreant too. He hugged his bag and had lots of piercings. He looked angry at 10:00 in the morning. BACK AWAY!

I'm pretty fed up today... ohhh announcements. Hahahaa the train manager has a proper west country accent. However I digress. I want a copy of the Metro. It's like a free informative drug. If there isn't one on the train I get edgy. I need my daily dose of the world. I've had a look around and there are none knocking about.

Seat reservation was the topic in hand though. I want to know why it is completely flawed. I'll help by listing some of the problems.
  • you don't get the seat you specified (e.g. Facing, table specification, power socket, window seat or aisle)
  • the display never works
  • the seats get double booked
  • someone else is sat in your seat and refusing to budge

I have experienced all of these accept the last one. Someone is sat in my seat.

"Hi, that's my seat"

"Um, no it's not! The display says nothing"

**shows ticket**"Yeeeesssss it is"

"Fine I'll move, but I don't believe you"

:o IT SAYS ON THE TICKET YOU DUMBASS!!!!!!

Yes this has really happened to me and one of my best friend. In all honesty my friend had the guys seat booked, but we didn't have the one next to it. We took it anyway.

I think miscreat just had a case fall on his head. I want to laugh but I honestly don't think it would be a wise move. He still looks angry.

So yeah. Seat res. It's double booked, or you book 2 tickets at the same time thinking common sense puts you together, except your not together. I was going down to Cardiff and there was no way I was sitting next to some randomer all the way down. Anyway it was a nice lady that had the other seat so she swapped with me. I personally have never had someone that refused to swap, or give me my seat but I have watched the consequences unfold. Some army lads had used this little old couples seat to store thier bags, and refused to give the seat back. The train manager became involved to no avail. Needless to say the couple had to find other seat.......

Verdict: Seat Reservations

FAIL

Catch you on the High Speed

My First Post

Hi everyone. Okay first things first.....why is this called thoughts from a train?

This you may ask.....

Well I'm a commuter, or is it comutee... Anyway, I spend about 3 hours on a train, about 3 times a week, so I have alot of time to think. I decided I would write my blogs on the train, and upload them when I get home. I travel through Birmingham U.K alot, so you may see alot of stuff about that, but I don't really know what I might think about yet.

The second thing (or first issue I wanna chat about) is the "Unwritten Rules of Life". So I know your sat thinking "WHU?". You know like, how often is it okay to not have a bath for, how long is a respectable time to wait to start dating after a break up etc. Am I the only person who thinks about the "Unwritten Rules of Life"? Or do other people think, it would be really handy to have some kind of guide lines. Im pretty stuck on it. But if anyone have any idea then certainly let me know. Its always something that confuses me. Annnyway I do have to be on a train early tomorrow morning, so I am going to go to bed now, and write something new on the train tomorrow.

Catch you on the high Speed
