Ouchy! thats even worse than the Games Workshop Mugger of Hull.

Whilst I'm sure a very horrid experience - you managed to document it in a way that made me laugh as well as gasp. Good work on the medic front!

Looking forward to seeing you at the big wedding-ding-ding-dong!

Thanks for a good post. I’m a fan of traditional and modern yogurt recipes. I will send this post to my friends over at myspace.

I think you are going to have to kick ass to get up to date. I look forward to a mention of Jack the Ripper.

that sounds like it was a pretty shitty flat - can't wait for the next installment of the light at the end of peckham ;)

I'm still wide eyed and innocent even at 66 when walking in 'the smoke'.
Oh and you with the highest integrity and still managing to get freebies.

Well at least you got to try some dehydrated ice cream in 2008! courtesy of NASA in a nice little foil pack.

£15 for a cinema ticket!!! That's mental, but still, anywhere is better than The Futurist.

Hope we can ring in the bells of 2007 before xmas '08 dawns upon us :D

As if my life wasn't confusing enough :] The Futurist has a very interesting cinema to say the least..

Could it be we're getting to the end of 2007... already? Surely not! I will be very impressed if the first post about life in 2008 will be before we ring in 2009 :D

"bought some socks and underwear just because I’m rock and roll" haha
You know you're not a kid anymore when you start getting cool stuff like socks for your birthday... ! ........ but then you get a Harry Potter audiobook and paintballing tickets as another gift and it blows that theory out the water ;)

Matt: All I can say is I'm happy it's on Channel 5 now, there's now a Neighbours omnibus so I can happily watch it on Saturday and catch up on all my missed episodes-truly fantastic!

Lior: Thanks for the comment, seriously the steak was the best I've ever tasted, but I'm willing to take up the challenge of finding a better tasting steak! 2 and a half days sleep? That's pretty respectable, imagine that, coming back after work/lectures on a Friday, going to sleep, waking up and having to go back again-madness! Your whole weekend gone! Oh and the next installment is in progress...

I was trying to find out about the sleep record thing - It's really hard to find! I couldn't find any official figures but seems on one forum there was one guy who just pipped your admirable attempt, by claiming to have slept for something like 2 whole days + 13 hours straight.. but then I'm not sure how reliable that is.
All I could find was that the longest period without sleep was 18 days (why do that to yourself!?) and that apparently this year in June a London, York and Edinburgh Dungeons are planning on trying to break the world record for the largest ever sleepover..

Sounds like a whirlwind trip! The death slide sounds like fun and I have a funny craving for steak now!! mm.. And 24 hours asleep - that's gotta be some kind of record. Seriously - we gotta check up on that!
Looking forward to reading the next installement!

I think I will pick you up on an errata on The Post Christmas Update.
As I recall it was you that fell asleep and I have a delicious photo to prove it!

I thought The Long Way Round was totally inspiring.
I am sure you will enjoy The Long way Down which includes many adventures with a good dollop of humour especially including lighting human gas emissions whilst rolling on the floor amidst much laughter.

Can't wait for the next installment.
Don't hold your breath for anything so up beat in my new blog by a geriatric.
Good to see so many of your friends appreciate you.

Susan has MS. I have to obviously record Neighbours everyday being at work and only missed a few!
Oh and the suspense I will have to check out your blog in a few months!

Thanks Luke.

Great to hear from you Matt. Heh thanks, I aim to please.

I haven't watched Neighbours for about 2 months now, through no fault of my own and it's not through lack of trying. The reasons why are to do with my current life and I can't be writing about that on my blog for a few months yet hehe. Last I saw was when Susan was getting lynched for knocking over the girl, though isn't Susan losing her eyesight or something?

Good to see an update from you and that things are going well.

"should probably shut up about food before I turn into Jason Biggs" - haha your posts never bore me.

I will add you on Facebook later and have a look at these pictures.

On a major sidenote - do you still watch Neighbours? Shocking news about Susan...

Driffield from what I remember was a lively place. There's a rugby club with some caravans on and a roundabout.
