Stag night disaster!

ok, getting the hang of this stag night thing now. Went to my second one last saturday for me old mate Victor.

why a disaster? well for Vic he had an excellent time I think, we went paintballing, dinner, drinks, strip club and generally harrassed the streets of London with our triad-like gang surrounding the stag.

disaster was really for me... firstly it was alleged that I spilled the beans on the whole day. actually it was more like that whole damn can! I guess i did talk to Vic about the paintballing.... and then I might have mentioned that we would end up in Secrets.... and to the outsider I suppose that fact that my girlfriend and her mates turning up at dinner could be seen as a little coincidental...

in my defence i swear Vic knew already about the paintballing. I'm sure that somewhere in our 10 million e-mails per day, Vic accidently caught hold of the plan (and it wasn't me that let on this time!). ok, Secrets was perhaps my fault, but I had had a few drinks by then and I was generally far too excited about going to the strip club to keep it to myself.

100% honestly though I didn't know about Ellen turning up at Browns. I knew she would be in Islington, but I didn't know that we would be, and in any case i think they livened things up verrry nicely indeed! ;) Nice bit of business done in my opinion. The girls were happy and the boys were very happy.... eh Vic? ;)

All in all a great night... except for one thing... the guys didn't believe my excuses above and waxed my legs.... twice!! Man, I fought like a caged animal, but having to hold off 15 guys proved just a little too much and I am now the proud owner of four rectangular bald patches on my otherwise hairy legs.

Top stuff, aching like hell today though. Aching muscles and bruises all over, really glad to have this bank holiday to chill out. The guys are getting more experienced now though and each stag do is getting wilder.... I may be worried about the next one, but I also think it might be better to get one out the way sooner rather than later.....!!!

Lottery

Hmmm... I usually don't bother buying lottery tickets. Since it started I have won a few times, but in the last couple of years I have won naff all. Recently though I have set up a subscription playing twice a week via direct debit. Might as well I figure, if I have that one chance in 13 million every week, one of these days I might get a nice surprise....?

Today though I just picked 6 numbers at random for a joke on Vicki's blog. She also taught me how to do links... ah yes, she can teach you a lot ;)

But anyway stop your mind wandering about... thinking about what Vicki can each you....... ahem... yes... the girl actually went out and bought a ticket for tonight's rollover using my numbers! Hope she remembers to share!!

Well Vick?? Did we win??!!

How small is this world?

Just got back from lunch with a work colleague originally from Edinburgh who I work with. She is also a BBC and we were discussing how sad it was that chinese people ask each other about "which village in hong kong they are from" and "do they know so and so"...

Anyway, finished lunch and were heading back to the office in the lift when I said "We're probably distant cousins or something anyway"

She replied "yeah, it's like I have relatives in Torquay but I doubt you know them... he's divorced now but he used to have a family down there"

I said "but not many chinese people get divorced, it's a really big thing. One of my aunties got divorced a while back..."

"Yeah this was years ago....." "Did they have kids? How many? 3?"

"y..e..a..h.. 3... two boys and one girl"

"so what was his name?"

"erm.. I only know his chinese name... and even then it's more of a nick name"

"go on.. what was his nick name..."

"Ga Lo"

"Oh my god!! That's my uncle!"

"I guess that's why chinese people ask where each other where they are from! Told you we were cousins!"

Me an the missus. Gorgeous aint she? Gosh and I think I am getting a double chin.... eek!! 

My first blog

Woo how exciting! My first ever blog!

I used to be addicted to posting, all those evenings spent on the PC typing away into the wee hours of the morning, during weeknights too! Now I have my own little space on cyberspace again for me to whinge about anything I like.

First whinge is my website. Or should I say my former website. Man, how annoying. I keep hold of www.keelaw.com for about 8 years (god how old do i feel!) and then as soon as I don't renew it, some law firm comes and buys it off me!! Why couldn't they pay me for it? So unfair....

Anyway, will rant more later. Time to go pester Vick's and Kim's blogs!
