...monday saw my return to the "old skool", err, i went back to study at longslade. craigy and i are taking an italian class. several reasons for me doing this, i've always wanted to visit italy (yes, i love 'a room with a view'), needing to stimulate my mind and do something constructive with my time...

...first class was pretty cool, actually learnt something, however, despite the class being all blokes, not a bit of totty amongst them...

...can recommend the phoenix for nosh, before a film or just because..., i had mediterranean panini and a slice of carrot cake, yum, and craig feasted on jacket potato with tuna followed by a magnum chaser...

...then we rolled off to our "usual seats" at the back, and settled down to be entertained by Lantana, a very enjoyable, slightly dark, slightly humourous, bit of shagging, bit of suspense, aussie film...which i greatly enjoyed...

...bumped into marky and als outside, who were off to Watson's for her birthday meal. just been informed the attitude/service in there is shit, and they don't serve pints or have shot glasses...what is the world coming to?...

...we made it to jacey's, for a very swift half, before heading our separate ways "on the buses"...

...am finishing work at 12pm tomorrow (yay) so i can go to milton keynes, boarding (oh yay), if da bruv gets around to calling geoff to arrange it (hmm)...

...got a letter from the "neenah's" today, interview back on...for monday...ooh eck...

...saturday...should i even release such information, so as to be liable for immense ridicule?...like i give a damn...i've got to go shopping for my bridesmaids dress - aaaargh nooooooooo...
