Fun
Hello
I spent most of the weekend at the farm with Richard and Ben, although Ben wasn't there for some of it as he had to drive his girlfriend somewhere and go for a walk with his family. It was a good laugh. I also now have about 11 bottles of Stella Artois.
We were walking through sainsbury's to get some food so we wouldn't have to rely on my grandmother whilst we were there and all of a sudden Richard wasn't with us. I turned round and saw him staring, wide eyed at a massive pile of cardboard boxes bearing the Stella Artois logo. I then saw that they were boxes of 24 bottles and that they cost a meagre £13! I joined his wide eyed stare and made a gargling sound reminiscent of Homer Simpson. We had to have one. Richard already had a decent beer supply but 24 bottles of Stella Artois for £13 is an offer you can't pass by. We bought half each and I drank only 1 last night leaving me with 11 bottles of 5.2% proof-y goodness :) Mmmmmm.....
The evening was spent playing PS2 and Xbox. A good laugh had but missing Matt and without Ben for much of the time it wasn't as good as it could have been :) Still Matthew is getting leave from wednesday so we shall have to spend a lot of time at the farm with his ungodly supply of DVD's and games. Between us we have so much media we could stock up a whole HMV. Of course I contribute little to that equation having little cash to spend on stuff like that, my sole DVD expenditure this year has been South Park the Movie and Lilo & Stitch (coming to a massive £22 overall).
I probably ought to learn to drive over the summer, because my year 2 accommodation seems a bit up in the air. Decided that if I do end up buying a first car it will either be a mini (big mini fan me) or a VW Van, you know the big ones like the mystery machine in Scooby Doo? This might be my subconscious trying to throw in a random choice so that I am in the end forced to choose a mini, however I think it might be a laugh. Could do the whole of the back in a quality arrangement of sorts and its a great laugh, would also make driving into europe with my mates a more valid proposition. However its not the vehicle in which you want to pick up a girl, nor is it particularly practical :D But if I saw one for the right price (and I had a license and of course some money) I would be tempted hahaha!
Hmm.. a long search on the internet shows a disappointing lack of 2nd hand 65 VW vans for sale online, however my mother says she saw one for sale a week ago haha! loads of mini's are up for sale but they cost a bomb as NOONE sells a mini unless they have to :D Besides which Chiara would be next in line for a car as she's already going through her driving lessons and I haven't even had one (well an official one anyway).
Right I'm off to have a shower
Later
John
