Well yesterday evening was quite good. Ros, Nik, Baz and I congregated in the Forum around 5ish and certain elements didn't leave again for a very long time. Ros and I managed to leave so she could see to her sister and watch Doctor Who (although her other sister prevented that!), and I could do my Tesco shopping and have a bowl of cereal (6.30pm... I know) before going back in. Nik and Baz were still there even though Nik had said he was going to go home, and Madjid was there as well. Nik reliably informed me that Tunc had walked through and so had Trevor, who was helping with a meal for the new international students in the Roberts building (I do hope it wasn't too noisy in there, and no-one was smoking outside either!).
Anyway, the excitement began around 7 when the Roberts Building exiles returned. Jude, Damon and Pedro were there as well as the obvious. It wasn't Pedro Mendes, but I did show Trevor the bit in John's Grauniad about the ball having to be 2 yards over the line to register a goal if a) it's scored at Old Trafford and b) Pedro Mendes is involved!
I'm waffling now, so suffice to say that Trevor decided to spend the whole evening sat with us. Highlights of the evening were:
Trevor: "I've been reliably informed that I was singing Sp*rs fans out of the cab window." (The night before, when he was drunk.)
Me: "I've seen you do that, I know what it means."
Nik: "Mooning out of cab windows?!"
Me: "Not mooning, Nik! Singing Sp*rs songs. But I think I'd prefer mooning!"
I was quite proud of that comeback because to those not in the know it was just an anti-Sp*rs remark, but the assembled throng (mostly) knew it was a heavily loaded remark!
Trevor said he nearly sent an email explaining that his incoherent email about firms was a joke. I said I'd realised, and "You're so heart on sleeve that if you really were a hooligan, you'd tell everybody!" He thought that was hilarious! It's so true though!
Apparently, when he was playing football on Friday, he got a Groin Strain. Oh dear!!! I told him what Groin Strains mean to me and my associates: he laughed. I don't think he though that was dodgy either!
I ended up in Wetherspoons with Nik, Majid and Andrea. Didn't stay too long because I realised I'd already had quite enough to drink! Nik then rang John and woke him up, intending to make sure I got home OK I think, but I was very surprised when John called to me after I came in, 'cos normally he doesn't wake up! I wasn't THAT loud. Actually woke up at a reasonable hour this morning, then Ros phoned to wake me up further, which is good, 'cos I'm going into Enfield Town to look for a phone in a minute!
The delay on this computer is quite funny. I'm typing stuff and reading it a few seconds later. It is obviously John's computer which isn't working, not the wireless router, even if he did drop it on the floor!
Well, going to get my new phone, and have to phone my mum at some point before going to cell group for the first time in ages this evening. Early start tomorrow putting up posters with Adam, then The Match. Until next time, have fun everybody and God bless!
Dovidjenja!
