Boring update #3781

Instead of getting mashed and listening to some top class techno provided by Mr C Cox, your’s truly decided to suffer another brain implosion. Can you say “FUUUUUUCK!!!”?

A beer and half a pack of Nurofen in a darkened pub and still my head was saying “kill me.. kill me.. kill me..”, so, I bailed on Dan, Renae and Paul, leaving them to sell or give away my precious ticket and headed home. “Die brain DIE!!”

This was the third brain-splitting migraine I’d copped in a week. Not good. After my second visit to the doctor I now have some better drugs: co-dydramol, which is just paracetamol and codeine and Imigran50 which is sumatriptan succinate. Yummy! Unfortunately, I’m now on a self-imposed caffeine, alcohol and “other” ban. Does this mean I’ll skip the Monopoly(tm) pub crawl this weekend? Hmm..

Spent most of easter in bed – some of it “urgh bed” but lots of “mmm bed”. Got blind on Oxford Street – not drunk, that was where the second ‘graine hit. Actually recovered from that one and spent a lovely (yes London weather CAN be lovely) afternoon walking around Regent’s Park with Mal. On another night I tested the Poles and their ability to drink. What can I say? Aussie Aussie Aussie!! Polish vodka ain’t all that! ๐Ÿ˜› At least I was still walking at the end of the shot fest, unlike my friendly “wodka.. you must drink” friend. ๐Ÿ™‚

Some sad news as well.. Tezz and Genna-Leigh have left lovely London and should be in Melbourne now. We had drinks in the Covent Garden Belushi’s to send Tezz off. Hope you landed with all your bits intact! Come back soon! ๐Ÿ™‚

Dan’s News just in!

Cox is playing Get Loaded in the Park this August!

I’m off work being a sick fsck (sick, as in: “unhealthy”). The song below, that soon-to-depart-London Tezz found, cheered me up no end!

It even throws in a pro-bike message. Beautiful! ๐Ÿ˜€

Warning: Contains all the very best words that English has to offer: fsck, cnut, sh1t, etc. So if you’re a sheltered life-living mofo or belong to the Cult of No Fscking Fun, No Fscking Life – it ain’t for you!

Fri: Grabbed some DVDs and beer and spent the night on the couch with Malwina (aka “Polish Chick” – crazy girl came back for more :P). The new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory really misses out without the proper Oompa-loompa song. Something about “Dogtown” was next. It had skateboards in it, I think.

Sat: Drank lots and fell about while showing Leo, Mei-Ling and Fiona our new place.

Sun: Blue skies and sunshine made today a great day for a wander through Kennsington Gardens, Hyde Park and Green Park. So it was done. We did get rained on once or twice, but just like Melbourne, “give it 10 minutes”. The sun didn’t set until almost 8pm! Bring it on! Summer here is going to fscking ROOOOOCK!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

On Saturday, Leo suggested trying the “Western Way (A40)” instead of Uxbridge Road. I rode home that way tonight and for the first time in a looong while I actually bailed from the route because the traffic was sh1tting me. It was an A road, but combined with the sun shining in my face, numerous fly-overs (London’s hills :)), a head wind, w@nker bus drivers cutting me off, blah blah, etc. it just wasn’t worth the grief. I went back to ol’ faithful Uxbridge.
