I am going on a little adventure tonight. After this afternoons Bath City game, I will be leaving Bath and driving up to Staffordshire with Mr. Watkins. While there, we will spend a night on a campsite, before visiting Alton Towers on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Watkins had a very hard job persuading me to agree to this. I am not a big fan of camping, especially campsites. I generally associate them with trailer-trash, and expect to find the likes of Eminem living there; writing rap tunes in between fighting with his alcoholic father and abusive mother. Still, it’s only one night, and I will hopefully have a good time (at least, I’m trying to convince myself of this!)
Tuesday should be interesting as I have also not been to Alton Towers before. I know this is rather sad and probably makes me the only person over 6 months old, and younger than 80 years not to have gone. Again, I have my own vision of the place… queues and queues of school children and fat families, hundreds upon hundreds of dodgy fast food outlets, and lots of rides surrounded by pools of regurgitated dodgy fast food.
Even though I sound like a miserable cunt, I am still looking forward to it. I will be bringing my camera, and unless it gets stolen by a carny at the campsite, or smashed into a million pieces on a roller-coaster, I’ll take and upload lots of photos.

- A Great Advert For Piracy
So, as planned, Claire and I went to the cinema to watch The Lion King.
The experience was a great advert for movie piracy. Not because the film was poor - far from it (more on that later). The problem was our fellow cinema-goers.
The issue with the other Lion King fans, was that they had an...
- An Elderly Couple’s Shopping Trip
It was my wonderful wife's birthday last week. She was celebrating the big '30'. Claire was complaining of being old. Nothing has changed. It is hardly like she transformed from Miley Cyrus to Jackie Stallone, as the clock struck midnight, on the day of her birthday.
Anyway, given the fact I am 36, I hardly think...
- Salad Dodger
There is a reason that I try to avoid self-service salad bars - hygiene. Some may call this paranoid. What I witnessed yesterday, gives weight to my reasons to steer clear of these bacteria traps...
While visiting a local Harvester restaurant, I observed the comings and goings from the salad counter. It was naturally busy. A...
- My Bank Holiday Weekend
After a very busy week at work, I was hoping for a restful Bank Holiday weekend. What I got was far from relaxing. I was out of the house every one of the three days. I've returned to work for a break!
Saturday was the quietest day. I went to Twerton Park, home of Bath City,...
- A Weekend In London
I travelled far, far away from Bath at the weekend. We went all the way to a little village called London - you may have heard of it. Sorry I haven't blogged about it until now, I ended up going to jail and I had to miss three turns, as I didn't have a Get...
