miss_squiddyGreat weekend AGAIN, though I fear that I may soon die from lack of proper food and sleep and I have forgotten what my flat looks like and where it is.
1. Paddy and Emily have a really nice flat. Shame it's in a bit of a scummy place. I say 'a bit'. I mean St Pauls in Bristol. We were lulled to sleep on Friday night by the melodic sound of smashing windscreens.
2. Popped down Saint Nicks market on Saturday to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_tails and picked up one of lordnitrogen's new flyers (Quick plug!). (Simon was dead chuffed to see himself on the website, by the way!)
3. The shoe shop in BS8 was selling off Underground Shoes at 15 quid a pair. They have millions. If you live near, go there immediately. (xxxrated bought pink brothel creepers. It's just wrong.)
4. Went to Elvira's 4th Birthday bash at the Eclipse on Saturday night. Super busy -griff_wolf it was nice to see you - perhaps we'll actually get time to chat next time!
5. Spent Sunday daytime at the Big Cheese Festival catching up with old work colleagues. Discovered that I am responsible for the following things:
- Stacey having to spend the entire weekend dressed up as a mouse.
- Two pages in the event brochure being dedicated to the history of cheese.
- Stacey having to dress up as a mouse at a future point in time and be chased through the town centre by millions of screaming kids dressed up as cats.
- A guest appearance by the Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe.
(So not bad!)
6. Went to see Marc Almond play at the 'Big Buzz' in Cardiff Bay on Sunday evening withxxxrated and Rowanne. It was totally worth having to sit through Barton Waugh (whoever the hell he is), Dragonheart, Wayne Wonder and Sinead Quinn and made even better when Blazin' Squad were late, so we didn't have to see them and got treated to an extra long set by Mr. Almond instead. To top it all, he caught a bottle thrown by some idiotic little BS fan and ended his set by pointing the brat out to security and calling him "stupid, stupid, ignorant and stupid."
FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS
Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why.
It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.
Turtles can breathe through their butts
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
All polar bears are left handed.
A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
FACTS ABOUT PEOPLE
Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.
On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.
FACTS ABOUT STUFF
Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.
No word in the English language rhymes with "MONTH."
The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma.
The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.
American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from
each salad served in first-class.

And don't worry - like you said, you, Glammy Steve and Jon the Mod (from the shop) are the only people who still wear brothel creepers...
