Friday Morning Thread - Possible Outbreaks Of Weekend

Jordan_229_2 [Edit] [Delete] 79 replies 07:53, 13 July '12

urgh. up at 6 cos i'm on me way to latitude. this next month is gonna be a slog. back from latitude on monday, 12 hour shift tuesday, bus straight from work to stansted airport then flying to poland. back from poland on saturday. 12 hour days week after, then off to poland again.

just fancy sacking it all off and having a bed-in at the minute, especially with the weather.

what are you guys up to?

So jealous of Lattitude

I was 100% going and then everything fell through :(
Just walked into works and was handed a pair of Soundgarden tickets for Hyde Park tonight, so all is not lost. Going to have to run home, find my most waterproof clobber and then head for the park.
Birthday tomorrow so feeling quite jolly all in.

- Have both tickets gone?

getting up before 8am is killing me

killing me softly

have fun at Latitude!

I'm going to/playing at Rhythms Of The World this weekend. Seriously hoping the rain fucks off for two days. Also, this weekend is to make up for my seriously shit birthday (missing BLOC, missing Faith No More and generally being pretty glum) so I'm pretty excited.

enjoy latitude

I'm having a feww booze after work with a mate who is leaving for South America on Sunday. we might well end up round someone's house which might be a bit cramped, but we'll see.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to be going to our Sarah's 31st which will culminate in a trip to Playhouse. I don't really remember much about any previous Playhouse i went to. i think the only one was NYE, if so, i blame lots of bottles of shots being passed round. If i've been to any other ones, I've only myself to blame.

Sunday will hurt.

Have a good time at Lattitude. I don't like camping so I don't envy you but I'm sure you'll have a blast.

I have no bosses in today at all and I'm pretty sure the guy I share the office with is on a course, I have plenty of work I could be doing from home and no reason to be here all day but haven't expressly been given permision to leave. What time do I grind this shit out till?

wilykit | 13 Jul '12, 09:44 | X
I could leave the office at 3 today

but if I stay I can watch the red arrows doing their thing at the Farnborough Air Show, I've never seen the red arrows; is it worth it?

Smyth2 | 13 Jul '12, 10:02 | X
- never?!?!
  
  they're impressive if you like seeing mini jet planes flying very close together and doing loops and shit. they've got some mad skills
  
  pieces_of_reece @Smyth2 | 13 Jul '12, 10:07 | X
  - no, never
    
    I do like all that, i'll hang around then. I might stay even later to see the Eurofighter again, it was awesome yesterday.
    
    Seeing the A380 banking at low altitude is pretty amazing too although if you didn't know it was part of an air show you'd be fucking terrified.
    
    Smyth2 @pieces_of_reece | 13 Jul '12, 10:14 | X
    - that all sounds pretty great.
      
      i wish you could see Farnborough from here
      
      pieces_of_reece @Smyth2 | 13 Jul '12, 10:30 | X
      - I miss living near Farnborough
        
        :(
        
        Ultimate moment was seeing a F117 Nighthawk. How on earth do those things stay in the air?
        
        TheSoundofBastards @pieces_of_reece | 13 Jul '12, 10:40 | X
        
        I'd love to see an F117
        
        I know what you mean, its the same with all these jets. They can slow down to a ridiculously slow speed but don't lose any altitude, it doesn't look right, they should be falling to the ground

Today's itinerary:

1) Create a PowerPoint based on a project from six months ago that I can't really remember
2) Review some questions from a client who doesn't understand what they want
3) Leave at five on the dot, drive for four hours, spend the weekend in a wooden lodge somewhere in Wales

General feeling of can't be arsedness in the air today. Roll on five.

Moved into a flat last night

Went to the elephant house and then on a ghost tour. Was nice. Enjoyed it. Going home this weekend to pick records and shit up, gonna be mad crazy

Stayed in and tried to watch The Bachelor last night

but channel 5 on demand is super shit!

I had VILE porridge this morning. I was really looking forward to trying it (from POD - with raspberry curd and pistachio nuts) BUT IT WAS SHIT and like 400calories so I threw it away halfway though. Not wasting valuable calories on THAT. I could have had a croissant. An almond one!

        and crashed at our house and i consider myself good friends with his girlfriend. shame he wanted to argue with me behind a pseudonym. he's entitled to his opinion, that's not my problem. just thought we were on good enough terms that he would tell me it was him. *shrug*

        well he can come or go, i don't mind
        
        but anonymously using he information he knows about someone from having actual real life conversations with them in a way that is trying to piss them off. ridiculous. maybe he'll die in a grease fire. that would be nice.

        Have fun at your festivals whilst I'm stuck at home with this chump summer!
        
        I'm in London this weekend, doing KeRaZy Glolf at Selfridges and some sort of street art workshop thang.
        Also at Playhouse on Saturday I think.. who else is going?
        
        TheSoundofBastards | 13 Jul '12, 10:53 | X
        
        really wish I was going to Latitude
        
        I've always enjoyed it as a festival but the lineup is atypically brilliant this year.
        
        ANYWAY doesn't matter as tomorrow I'm off on an early train to London to see BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and even the threat of rain and mud can't ruin this one for me. SO EXCITED. Then I'm going to Playhouse afterwards, where I'm hoping I'll see a load of lovely people I've not seen in far too long.

        For the rest of the weekend I'll be working during the day and enjoying the Cumberland arms beer festival in the evening.

        Morning
        
        Woke up to some pretty nasty emails from my ex whom I finished with last night. Feel pretty shit and feel a bit like 'Did I do the right thing' but yea anyway. Thought I would share this with the internet world.
        
        In other news my new permanent job is going really well. I thought I'd love freelancing, but it comes to a point where not having such a structured day can make you lazy. Well, made me lazy anyway.
        
        Thinking about heading to The Playhouse tomorrow, although I might go to the Hill Billy Hop in Archway.
        
        Have a good weekend y'all.
