hilsDerek and Matthew have gone to Tesco and have let me play with the internet while they're out. WHEE!!!
It's been a great weekend but full of strangeness. It all started on Friday when I got a call from Greg at about 11pm. It seems one of the guys in my office fancies me and bet Greg £25 he can 'pull me' next Friday when we're all going out together as an office. WTF?? Now, I kind of suspected this guy fancied me but there's no way I'd ever go out with him. He's short, bald and when I first met him I thought he was gay. Greg did try to tell this guy that I wouldn't say yes. Greg has known me for years and knows the sorts of men I go for but this guy was adamant he would win. So, Greg said he'd split the £25 50/50 with me and I agreed. I wouldn't have done under normal circumstances but this guy was so sure he could get me into bed that he laid money on it, he deserves everything he gets. Wanker!
On Saturday I went into Forbidden Planet (and bought a Boromir that talks to keep all the Aragorns company). I got chatting to the guy behind the counter and he said Billy and Dom had been in a while back to look at LotR toys and that Dom had seemed 'really gay'. It was all I could do not to fall down laughing right there.
Later in the day we went into Camden. Derek and Matthew were scared of all the goth shops and went for a coffee while I browsed. Went into Dark Side where they had these fab purple cords but I couldn't find them in my size. I went into another shop and the owner looked at me and said 'you're looking for trousers'. After being a little freaked out I explained what I'd been looking at in Dark Side and he went and found the exact same cords in exactly the right size. I paid, freaked out and went to find Derek and Matthew. Ooh, I also bought two cool Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirts.
That was where the stangeness ended. I've had a lot of fun though. We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Friday and it was AMAZING! Wasn't overly keen on the new Oopma Loompa songs but other than that it was perfect. I love Tim Burton and Johnny Dep. They had 18" talking Willy Wonka toys in Forbidden Planet but I couldn't afford one :(
We're having a BBQ this afternoon so that should be fun. I'll post my photos when I get home
BYEEE!!
