C4 Comedy Gala space invasion

Great seats for C4 Comedy Gala. Wonderful night of comedy, highlights include Lee Evans, Jack Dee and David Mitchell.



Everything was fine until the seat next to me became occupied by a very large chap. Personal space invasion!! He seemed to be overflowing more into my seat rather than the seat of the person he was with.

Instead of saying anything I'm having a moan now :-) lesson learned always get the aisle seat or sit in between friends.

Bearded clio chav

Parked on roundabout by bridge to Laindon station, on Mandeville Way, to drop off a work colleague.

I must not have given enough room as bearded chav in a clio beeped me, as he drove on to the nearby round about - Florence Way. I drove on to nearby round about and bearded clio chav came back round roundabout to take him back onto Madeville way. As he did this he looked on angrily and showed me the middle finger.

My word, I really couldn't have left enough room! Was gonna blow him a kiss, then decided he is probably a nutter, and wouldn't find that funny. Where was he going though?!

Funny London people

People to note in london;

Lady in front of me on tube platform kept bending her knees in either a crazy street dance performance, or a desparate need for the loo.

Coming out of Westminster station, my backpack fell off my shoulder and made my carrier bag jump up loudly, making the lady in front of me really jump. Too which we both had a really good giggle.

There was a chinese guy at the top of St Paul's dome (the Golden Gallery) and he was going oooooo, and swaying, in what was a very funny display of vertigo.

Outside the main entrance a wheelchair bound and a crutches bound set of teenage twin boys were having a race, the crutches chap won, they were really going for it!

And as an aside...

Someone held the tube doors open for me and my mate. It then shut on my bag, oops. Sliding Doors moment.

Posting anxiety

Weird experience trying to post a letter in London. The post box had two slots, that looked they were separared inside. Above one was a sign that read "metered" the other one's sign had long been broken off.



There was nothing else to explain this. Google thought metered was a mispelling or something to do with US business mail... Then a lady posted a letter in the unmetered one. She didn't really know and pointed me to a Post and Go round the corner. Talk about snail mail anxiety!

Training granted, done, wow!

I got a week of training in a new technology. It was amazing. Amazing because I haven't had proper classroom training with work in 3 years. But also because it was really good.

My training partner kept making me angry as I was driving the mouse, and any hesitation or mistake on-screen was met by repition of instructions with increasing urgency and sarcasm.

Grr... I hope I am a little more reasonable when giving instructions.
