Peter Parker pumpkin...

V's up in Newcastle and I haven't blogged about it once!

This evening we both went out for the most amazing meal and are now
enjoying Margaritas in our favorite bar. She heads back on Sunday so
I'm making full use of the presious time we have together.

Off on vacation

Can't wait = )

Short back and sides please...

Much better

Although I may now to buy something to keep my head warm

Some flat mates didn't want to shell out for a TV licence

So I set up my 'second monitor' in the front room.

Shiny Design

A group project to design a device to aid the transport of water from one place to another possibly over unforgiving terrain.

It's cold outside...

... so I warmed my cockles with a large cup of coffee and tucked into a good book.

Then it dawned on me. You know those types that sit in Starbucks, with their Apple Macs, large posh coffee and a book. Occupying a table for as long as they can whilst sipping at their long since cold coffee. Today that was me... Please don't hate me

If you're interested the book I was reading was this. Thus explaining my super-human ability to read a book and use my laptop simultaneously

I only seem to be able to do one big post a week at the moment

Sorry for the poor quality image, but this has to be one of, if not the most sensational thing I have ever eaten! The meat is Kobe Wagyu beef. The cows are fed on beer and given massages daily. Getting this kind on burger in Knightsbridge London would cost you £621 (quotes the menu)!!! But me and my friend Martin were invited to eat there by another one of our friends from the course who just happens to be the head chef. Anyway... Amazing

Full fridge makes Sam a happy student.

Mmmm... very cheesy pasta bake. Nom nom nom...

I have to do this every time I go to the beach now

Went to a shopping center with Polly the other day, she had a staff meeting so I had a couple of hours to window shop and had to take a snap of this.

Even Tim was gutted Verity couldn't make it

Tim Minchin

If you're not aware of his work search for it on YouTube.
Sadly V's work wouldn't give her the time off so I'm having to share my early birthday present with a friend. I think we're in for a good show.

Check out Dave's rack!!

It's Dave's birthday today so we're out celebrating at TGI Fridays

We all know that in a hurry, sticking a couple of bevies in the freezer is quick and effective way of getting stuck into a couple of frosty studs. But be warned. If you forget they are in there you'll end up with something that resembles a Carlsberg smoothie...

Mmm... Pizza

Not very exciting but dinner this evening consisted of a pizza base and whatever i had in the fridge to go on it, it was very yum

Fruit cravings...

I think the old expression

"Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut"

should be modernized to

"Using an 1100W blender to squeeze an orange"

A few things I couldn't put up before I set off...

Serious plug issues

Bodge-tastic!

Proper Job

(unless you're going to MoT Charlie - then it's always been like this...)

Shhhh... Hibernation in progress

At least this one is all one colour!

We now have Internet at the house!!

So let me give you a 'rough' tour around my new room

Tip: use 'shift' to zoom in - and 'ctrl' to zoom out, use the mouse to 'drag' around my room

Who said students can't be civilized?

No Internet or tv so we have to make out own fun.

I cooked dinner tonight; spicy chicken fajitas with rice, dressed salad and homemade salsa (and a bottle of red!).

Won't be a regular event but a great first dinner together.

Followed by a few games of sh*t-head. We've had to start a league, first to 25 buys a crate of beer.

Still no Internet but should be sorted within 10days!!

Operation damage limitation...

...as time runs out and Charlie has to go into hibination.

Sam's off to Uni

Don't forget you can track my progress on the map to the right -->

Craig's birthday

With the weather fading we head inside to play games
