What a result, I can't believe that. Four years of waiting and in the end it came down to a bad decision and some unlucky plays. Still, you can't have everything and there will be another in 2014. Health insurance reform is a very important thing after all. Health insurance reform.
Also , in other news, we watched the world cup at Pam and John's which was a little bit of a washout.
What wasn't a washout was seeing some more family. It was great, David(my nephew), who it turns out is now 19. WTF? , aunty Judith, (heheheh it's always funny that), and my brother, Ste, (who I have missed terribly since I left all those years ago).
Nicola and I even went for lunch with Zoe and John, old friends, in Manchester. That was cool. Zoe, Nicola and I searched Manchester for a recent BANKSY work. We couldn't find it but my nephew David says he knows where it is and will take us YAY!
It was great seeing them, though they were two short, Catherine and John. John has taken to putting pictures of himself as a young boy on his Facebook page in order to confuse me. He thinks I won't recognise him when we finally come face to face but I will. He is about 8 years old, comes up to my waist and a little pain in the arse. What could possibly have changed in 10 years?
Of course, Catherine is much nicer and has supplied me with pictures via her Facebook page and I have been stufying them to make sure :) .
I can't wait to see them.
LATE NOSTALGIA WARNING!!!
A bit late I know, but seeing them and Vicki and Dawn and their husbands and kids was unbelieveably great. I loved it. That's right, my neices have children. Come on Tahnee, you are lagging behind a little.
So NOSTALGIA soaked I sat and chatted to them all over cheese, booze and the world cup over a couple of days and nights.
This post may not make much sense , but asI said earlier, If you want sense you shouldn't be here. Go read another blog.
Everyone is Pregnent. WOW.
Either that or they have a heap of kids. It's great, it means that they are doing it so Nicola and I don't have to.We can swan around Rome on holidays , which is where I am writing this from.
The lobby of our 4 star hotel in Rome. 10 minutes walk from the Colleseum this hotel has it all. Clean sheets, walls without pealing paint, no damp smells, a nice batroom. Brilliant. After the two dumps we have stayed in at London (Mina House Hotel), which was shocking. Don't ever stay there. And the Comfort Hotel on Rue de Wigs in Paris, which was bare minimum passable .
Those two places were terrible. Hotel Prime Saint John on the other hand , so far, is comfortable and very nice indeed. We got a special deal thoguh, which makes it even sweeter.
Anyways, this has been and offical BLURTING BLOG, splashed on the page without much thought. Work your way through it and I will put some more up later after I have wowed at the sites and sights of Rome.
Have fun and see you all soon. No pictures this time, the internet is being naughty...
