I hate Mondays

I think it was Garfield who said "I hate Mondays." It's still true even though I love my job. Sometimes you just need to lie in a bit longer and it's always the worst on Mondays. I heard an interesting story about Garfield that I will write about later.
Anyway, to complete the Saturday night tale - me and Russ went out on Saturday night. We went to the Met in Sale first and had a few pints. We played on the quiz machine for a bit and chatted a bit and it was pretty fun. Our mistake I think was leaving the Met - the evening went downhill from there on. Well actually it went uphill for about half an hour as there was a girl on the tram who had a fabulous pair of assets and wasn't afraid to show them off (my apologies to all women but regardless to what they say, all men look. it doesnt mean we are about to leave you and it doesn't mean that we don't love you. it just means that we are appreciating the beauty of the female form). After that it went downhill. We went to the Mutz Nutz in Manchester which I have been to previously and had a great time. This was different. It used to be £5 to get in and 50p a drink. Now it's £7 to get in and £1.50 a drink. This in itself wasn't too much of a problem - Manchester is expensive. The problem was that almost every person in there was gay. Don't get me wrong - I don't have a problem with gay people. I have gay friends and I couldn't care less that they are gay. The problem was that as far as I was concerned we were out so Russ could pull. It was not going to happen in the Mutz Nutz (or at least not in the way Russ would have wanted).
So we went elsewhere. We went to 5th Ave. I've only been there once before but I had a good night. This time I did not. It was wall to wall - you couldn't move. It was £6 to get in. The men outnumbered the women about 5-1 and they were all lads larging it up.
Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm getting old. I just much would have preferred to have stayed in the Met and had several quiet (although I use the term "quiet" loosely since the Met plays the loudest music ever on Saturday nights) pints and played some more on the quiz machine.
Anyway, we had one pint and then went home. I had to walk from Sale which sucked because it was cold and a long walk when you are mildly drunk is never fun.

Yesterday I did some more work on my stadium - I have nearly completed the first half. It really just needs painting now. Well painting and a roof putting on one of the halves. Oh and I need some wood from somewhere for the back of the pieces. Maybe I've got a way to go yet before painting it.
