Something I forgot to mention earlier this evening. While I was in the pub, minding my own business, watching the game and enjoying a pint I was approached by a shaven headed stranger who knew my name.
The first few seconds of the encounter with this stranger caused a moments panic. This panic soon dispersed when I realised the said stranger was harmless. I then felt a little embarrassed, he knew me, I didn’t know him, however from his approach I should have known him like an old friend.
I had to ask who he was as I wasn’t going to start chatting to somebody I didn’t know, pretending to know them – that would have inevitably ended in even more awkwardness, I’ve seen enough sitcoms to know that.
Turns out that I went to school with him 8 years ago, I still can’t remember who he was or recognise him. Either my brain is aging rapidly and I am losing my memory or he has aged rapidly and I am keeping my boyish looks.

Friday was my lovely fiancée, Claire’s birthday. To celebrate, we went out for a meal. I would like to say that we visited a tranquil, romantic restaurant and dined upon the finest foods that money can buy. Instead we sat on a dirty table in a corner of busy bistro pub, surrounded by screaming children.

Dan’s Return
Dan came back to Bath on Saturday. Sadly, it was just for the weekend and not to move back into his basement flat, where he once lived a life not dissimilar to that of Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Only his “precious” was AV equipment. Since leaving Bath, Dan has gone to live...

BRISTOL
On Sunday evening, John, Simon, his mate Tim and I went to Bristol. We had bought tickets way back in the summer to see Frankie Boyle live at the Colston Hall. On the way there, we stopped to get something to eat at Nandos in Longwell Green.
After eating our fill of chicken, we began our...
