Je Suis Had a Beaucoup de Good Times on NYE

So...as the title suggests i was given the opportunity over New Years to demonstrate some real language skills to the population of Grenoble. We went to see Janey in Grenoble on New Year's Eve, which was really cool. Did lots of sitting drinking coffee, eating Giraffe (kind of) and traveling in Gondolas (see facebook for pictures).

Anyway who would have thought that such a good weekend would end in tragedy...and by tragedy i mean total embarrassment...

On leaving France i had my boarding card inspected one final time before leaving the gate. The guy checked it and advised me to enjoy my flight, to which i replied with thanks, turned round and walked face first into a window.

The door was of course just to the left of me, but i managed to miss it completely. I was one of the first to board, so you can just imagine the 300 odd people standing behind me sniggering away. It kept me amused for most of the flight once the pain had worn off :(

Thievery Pays

So...some guys are stripping out the shop beneath us and there's a skip outside our place. Just before Christmas i randomly pulled some BT telephone exchange electrical thing from the rubble, put it in my room and went home.

Anyway i just got back to Portsmouth and i Googled this thing. Turns out they sell brand new for £800 and 2nd hand on Ebay for £300!

It's not stealing: firstly it was in their skip, and secondly they woke me up at 8am every morning for a week with a hammer drill. Quids in.
