It’s sooo good to have broadband back! Big downloads, fast web browsing, Xbox Live!!! I am sure you can guess how I spent the rest of my weekend!
Yesterday I met Watkins. Simon couldn’t make it as he is going on holiday – trekking up some Welsh mountains with his mate, with only a small tent for shelter. References were made to Brokeback Mountain – they did not go down well.
Watkins and I went for some food and a pint at The Harvester, followed The George pub in Bathampton. We then drove to the cinema in Bristol where we watched The Magicians.
The Magicians is a film starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, and is made by the creators of Peep Show. Good film. Peep Show fans should look out for a number of other familiar faces.
My Friday night was a little different this week. Instead of spending the evening with Simon and Watkins, watching Peep Show, playing Bomberman and eating Nandos, I went out with Chris and Sam from work.
After a couple of pints at The Sizzler pub, I was lead deep into uncharted areas of Bath where I have never been before – Odd Down.
Odd Down is within BA2, which meant I had to pass car fires, dead bodies, prostitutes, crack dealers and playground chavs. I eventually arrived at Chris’ house, luckily unscathed.
Chris showed off his impressive AV setup, including massive high definition television and surround sound system. Sam brought round his PlayStation 3 and a racing game. I experienced a case of “technology overload” which caused me to drool some high definition saliva (like Homer in that 3D Simpsons episode).
We then watched a BlueRay copy of Casino Royale. Even though the film wasn’t amazing, the picture and sound quality was – I could watch anything on that TV, however poor! What made things even better was the sofa with a mechanical footrest. I want to take up residence in his living room!
When I got home, I discovered my broadband was live. I was happy. I also discovered something else. A spider. I was scared. The spider is now dead, but having seen two beats in two days is very, very alarming. I may call my letting agency and ask if they can call out pest control.
No less than 3 days after moving back to BT for line rental, my ADSL was activated – a week earlier than promised. This service is the mirror opposite of TalkTalk. Well done BT. Top job.
Oh my God! Just as I was writing the blog below, a massive beast of a spider casually walked across my living room floor. As I jumped up onto the sofa like a terrified school girl, the monster carried on its journey, obviously a lot less scared of me than I was of it.
This kind of behaviour is clear to anyone that spiders are not afraid of humans and fully intend to kill us. Still, I had the last laugh – Mr. Spider is now dead, pummelled to death by a cushion, before being gassed with Raid spray and trapped under a glass. I am safe… for now.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
