Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Barbecute
+Friday+ was a barrel of laughs. Free pizza, communications meeting and stuff at work. Lots on the horizon, demoing to fabby people and also there were photos of all the HP kit going into the far east. Left work reasonably on time and headed home to rewire novak. New modem went in fairly easily, silliest thing was that I thought it was a v2 330 but it was a v4, so I spent about half an hour trying to whack in the wrong firmware. D’oh. Also added another hard drive to Novak.

Poor thing Sunin arrivorated at about half ten, I’d got it mostly all working fine by then so we went out in his Merc and cruised about London in the dark. We went to the 24hr Tesco in Surrey Quays — Sunin was driving Jane free, as he’d forgotten to bring her brains. He always gets nervous whenever he doesn’t have her and has to rely on my directions, I have no idea why... Bought lots of beer, lots of stuff from tesco, etc. Admired the view. Bought lots of barbecuey type meats. Sunin bought vats of ethanol to bathe in. Headed home (in the wrong direction) and ended up in Greenwich. Oh well. I was up early on Saturday fiddling with things, washing up, that kinda thing. Drove down to the hotel to acquire MogsRICH and headed to Sainsburys where he spent about £130 on alcopops. Sauntering round Sainsburys at about a quarter to one, safe in the knowledge that no-one’d turn up on time, took the shopping back to the flat via the hand car wash (FWOOOOOOOR) and all the fit boys soaping us up. Phoned at 1 by zaty and William and Danny who were all on time. Bah. Got in, settled down for a lovely afternoon watching films, chatting, watching everyone get pissed and stuff. Barbecued rather successfully on the balcony, considering it’s teeny. Bittersweet told us of a dream he’d had of all of us dying when the balcony collapsed. It cheered us up no end. Mattingham Bittersweet Sunin Skywalker Trikkit Mage Zaty Mogwai Owen Selonsteve Moogal Mickstar Abeneplacito Louie Alastair Were all present. And I’ve probably forgotten some people because I’m rubbish. Owen got laid. so did Selonsteve (work it out ). I’m nominating Steve as the new website bike William got immensely drunk and offensive. But I like him best like that. Alasdair played mummy and banned him from drinking. And bruised his bottom. Much amusement. Zaty made mutant annoyed sea bass which was gorgeous. Everyone got drunk. Half of them went to GAY and I Played Starwreck: In the Pirkinning to the rest. Zaty is naughty. Very naughty. Almost as naughty as I am. I laughed far too much at his special cards I swigged some champagne but behaved other than that. No cigs, 3 glasses of champagne. Most I’ve drunk in 4 months...and I didn’t have an urge to have any more after. Yay William passed out in my bed. Went to XXL with Warren and frolicked about in the dark for a few hours (well, it was either that or sleep with Will...). Left at about half five. Home and some sleep then up earlyish and took everyone left over to Café Verde for breakfast. Walked there along the canal, which was nice. Got a text from Dom: "Wan
