Personal

From the Guradian:

"...it was still like watching a bunch of mountaineers trying to scale Everest wearing Speedos and flipflops. They managed to pass a few landmarks in the foothills, but they ran out of oxygen just past the halfway mark and long before the summit was in sight."

Congratulations, David!

I wouldn't have worried about the maths and science though, mate. I did do them in year 12, but I'd forgotten it all by the time I needed it.

Of course, I was only working part-time when I did my degree, so that's pretty impressive.

So, once again, nice one!

When driving, try using your left hand turn indicator. It's easy, fun, and helps let people know that you're turning, so they don't have to sit there waiting to give way to car after car that they don't need to.

Cathy and I went to see Muse at Wembley Arena on Tuesday. Wow. Big show! I guess that's why they are touring with their own stage.

I have seen Muse before, but it was at the Big Day Out in 2004, and they were on during the day, and it just wasn't the same as a full show with all the lights and, you know, stuff.

The photo isn't of the show, however, but the fountain outside Wembley Arena, taken with my new K800i.

Recent outings:

• Went to see A Moon for the Misbegotten last Tuesday at the Old Vic, featuring Kevin Spacey and that guy who's been in lots of stuff, which was pretty good! Cathy agreed with Glen that the play itself isn't that great, but, personally, I liked it.
• Liz's birthday party at The Match Bar on Saturday.
• Saw KT Tunstall at the Union Chapel last night - briliant venue, and KT was pretty good too

I'm a bit tired today, and the tube this morning didn't help...

"We have increased our profits over the last few years by restructuring to focus on our core noodle business."

This kind of news should be in the financial section more often.

Back from a weekend away visiting Jon & Michael up in Durham with Cathy! Photos to go in the gallery tonight, I hope.

Meanwhile, the accuracy of the stars cannot be denied!

Unless you are significantly visually impared, you have no excuse for walking into me, instead of around me. It will not make your journey any faster.

Cathy managed to get tickets to go and see Feeder (for the second time this year!) at The Roundhouse last night. Brilliant! The venue is great, we had top seats, and Feeder were in top form. (It is a miracle of modern science that Taka remains upright throughout gigs - although that might be the judo...)

Things I did not expect at a Feeder gig, however:

• The Sugababes.
• A Nirvana cover.

I've just got home from seeing Australia draw against Wales in Rugby Union at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. Thanks to Glen and co. for the ride and the company.

I'd suggest that it wasn't the most skilfull game of Union I've ever seen, but then again, I was deducing some of the rules as the game went on, so I'm not sure that I'm actually qualified to tell how skilfull it actually was!
