| Also this weekend |

When I got home from work on Friday night, there was a ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.3) miss_newham calendar waiting for me. If there are seven wonders of the LJ world - and let's face it, there probably aren't - then this is at least three of them. It's ace.
Apart from going to a football match in Liverpool, I've spent a large portion of the weekend trying to buy reasonably priced DVD+R discs. I went down to Micro Direct to try and pick up some of the generic ones they have on their price list for about £6 for 25, but the only ones they had in stock there were more like £12 for 25. Tsk to that. I can get them cheap through work, but I wanted them NOW.
After not buying blank discs, I went to the Holiday and Travel Show at G-MEX, ostensibly with the intention of picking up some information from the stand that the Japan Tourist Board would no doubt have there. Except they didn't. I don't see why not, if Gloucester could be bothered having a stand (and they could) I don't see why Japan can't. It was a fairly rubbish event to be honest, but I only paid £2 to get in thanks to a voucher cut out of the paper. If I'd paid the full £6 (SIX POUNDS, SIR!) then I'd have not been best pleased, I can tell you. Still, I got to see Gary Neville who was working on the Malta stand, so that was good. They were giving away Maltesers as well. Ho ho. It was a shame that the bit of their promotional film I saw in the grandiosely titled Video Theatre was so poor, because Malta is really a very good place for a holiday. |

You're too kind, dude! Did I really tell you not to buy your dad a birthday present though, and will I be in trouble with him now?
"CAPRICORN! On the 20th everyone you know will taunt you for having a birthday near christmas and inform you that you certainly won't be getting any presents this time."
The 20th is his birthday. And it's his 70th this year, so I reckon he'll be expecting some and all. I'd say you're in troub. | |
