Most of you are probably going about your NORMAL lives in a NORMAL way - completely unaware that the SMELLY BALL IS TONIGHT!

Hurrah!

See you there :D

Was round at my friend Julian’s last night. Julian is someone that hardly every goes out. This means he has the most impressive collection of computer games, DVDs & general computer equipment and consolerry EVER! He even buy’s PC games – yes BUYS them.

He’s just started up his own mobile computer game company – I think that’s dead smart. It was a dream of mine as a kid to have a computer games company… but that’s when it was all spectrums & commodore 64s. Now it’s well difficult – even on a mobile phone so once again I’m left in the dark ages with my dreams in tatters.

Got extremely hammered once again – ate pizza and finally saw Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s basically Monkey Island the movie isn’t it??

Pirates, monkeys, curses, islands – need I say more?

Mmm - what could be finer than an avocado, mozzarella & tomato salad or sandwich.

Come play Avocado, mozzarella & tomato!

I've never got so SOAKED as I did last night.

I was cycling accross tower bridge to Andy's house. It was already raining pretty badly by then - thunder and everything! Normally scared of storms and have to hide under a table (shoo! cats!) - but I was feeling brave. it just bucketed down, like a gigantic bath being perpetually emptied onto my head.

It's bizarre how if it's raining just a bit - everyone's really pissed off - but when it's tipping it down everyone has these mad little smiles on their face like "Ohhh - whatever next!"

How come everyone has an ubrella apart from me?? It was boiling hot all day up until around 5 and then it chucked it down! Do people really bring gigantic umbrellas to work on a very hot day? That's just paranoid.

Andy's parents have the most incredible place right in the center of town. It always feels like being on holiday going there as it's like they live in a hotel (of course they weren't there - you'll never see andy & his parents int he same place). It particulary felt like I was in a hotel cause when andy gave me some dry clothes to wear it felt like I was wearing a swimming costume underneath due to the dampness of my underwear.

I can smoke ALL night and not get as stoned as I do from a couple of tokes from an andy spliff, incredible.

Wouldn't the terrorist threat be alot more paletable if we were being terrorised by pirates?





..but maybe we are..?

As the seemingly endless douvet of black clouds stretches above me - I wonder, is the GLA in fact the GL Ark? You decide.

No you don't.

Oh yeah - neil's blog Witty and nicely written, yes.

The almost award winning london underground blog Full of cock-eyed bits about everyones favourite london transport system.

My favourite line is the Waterloo and City line.



I have no moeny at the moment which is a discredit to myself. I'm supposed to have loads as one of london's finest web developers But I keep on spending my money on music equipment.

Really you should have a look at my band I can't believe I got this far without mentioning it. We're playing next friday at the smelly ball next friday but I very much doubt this is going to get alot of people going along.

I ride towork on it at the moment. I got really bloody lost this morning & ended up going accross the wrong bridge. London is an incredibly ahrd place to cycle around. None of the roads are straight so it's incredibly easy to lose your barings. Also, if like me you have no self-confidence on the roads, you end up getting bullied into going onto roads you have no intention of going on by all the bigger forms of transport.

This is my route to work.



Wow - how interesting is this!? Jesus.

HELLO.

Today I went to the park. My mum's driving me nuts! Dave dumped Sharon today - she's such a slag. I think i might be pregnant. Life is such pain - I think I'll go and cut myself.

NO! That's not the sort of blog I'm going to write - mum, if you're reading this I'm NOT pregnant and Sharon and Dave are still together (thank god). Anyway, my mum won't be reading this because she keeps on holding the mouse upside down & had to phone me when she had made the folder pane of outlook express so big she couldn't see any of her messages.

I'm most likely not in the right situation to keep up an good blog. I'll only be updating this while I'm at work.

I work for the London tourist board



Doing web stuff. i even get a card that says "Caroline Clifford helps promote tourism in London.." It let's me get on free to the HMS Belfast & A mate got a student discount to the london dungeon with it. it's like a Blue Peter badge for adults.

So what can I tell you? Where I went for lunch? How they never have any pickled onion monster munch in the vending machine?

Actually - where I am going for lunch IS sort of interesting. The GLA!



You have to get metal detected before you go in there and everything. It was pretty embarassing the other day cause I had to empty my pockets & I had part of a cigarette, loads of fluff and an olive pip in my pocket. Maybe they get alot of that. i can imagine Ken having to empty out loads of football stickers and bent staples out of his pockets.

In the GLA they have a massive arial photo of greater london - you can walk all over it and find your house and everything!
