Wow - lots of great stuff has happened since i last wrote - i'll begin at the beginning...
On Friday Ben and I went to see Operator Please in Manchester and i ran into two of the singers backstage when i was going to the toilet - very cool. Not so cool was having to run from their show after they had only been playing for twenty minutes to catch the last bus back to Leeds. Meh, at least we saw them!
On Saturday i went paintballing because a friend of mine won some tickets, saving us a lot of money. We still had to pay £15 for ammunition but it was alot cheaper than usual. It started out slowly for me as i got shot within 30 seconds of the first two rounds, but then after a while i got a feel for it and even played the hero of the green team when after scrambling under heavy fire behind some shelter, i grabbed our bomb and running into the open lobbed it into the enemy's bunker, winning the game for us. I did get shot a bit, and i've still got a few bruises, but it was a real blast - very much worth it! The pic is of my finger where i got smashed by a paintball - it left a pretty good mark.
On Sunday i worked on my last essay and after some initial panic where i really thought i couldn't get it done, i got it done - yah! And that night Ben and I went to see the comedian Jimmy Carr at the Grand Theatre which was great fun. At one point during the show he asked the audience for their sexual fantasies, and i quite wittily yelled out 'Ya Mum' to which he replied 'Alright so thats necrophilia'.
Having finished my essay, i was then able on Monday to try and get rid of my £300 worth of advertising space, which proved to be a bit trickier than i had expected. Most places i went too needed me to contact head office. So i'll try that, and send a couple of emails about. Worse comes to worse and i'll take up the offer of a meal for 4 at a resturaunt that i got, but i think i can do better.

no way! I was going to be a roady for OP (selling t-shirts and stuff) so i could see the show for free. but it was on the gold coast and fate conspired against me to make it impossible. that show would have been there first stop on their world tour... and now they are in England.
Crazy - they are pretty cool eh!
