It is a little known fact that there are trolls all around the Abruzzo province/region of Italy, but with a little knowledge and a lot of patience you might be able to track them down and catch a glimpse of them. As in most societies, there are nice trolls and naughty trolls. Plus there is [...]

Getting Ready for London Next Weekend

Posted by Techboy on Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I’ve had 2 weeks off of work, I wanted to go away somewhere but I couldn’t find anyone to go with so I gave up on that idea and just stayed at home.

At least I’ve been able to relax and also get the 2 gravel areas in front of my house dug out and replaced – mostly anyway as 750kg’s of gravel wasn’t enough so I’m getting more delivered on Friday, I’m sure my manager will let me work from home on Friday so I can be there for the delivery).

Next weekend I’m going to Paul and Olly’s 30th birthday party in London and we are all going in fancy dress. I was going to go as the Punisher (I had even bought the t-shirt and a belt with bullets around it)

The Punisher

The Punisher

but as everyone else is going in more elaborate costumes I decided to change my mind and go as the Flash!

The Flash

The only problem now is that I don’t know how I’m going to hold my phone, wallet and camera! Emma has offered to hold them for me in her bag :-)

The party is at the Verve club on Saturday night and some of us are staying at a Travelodge near Leicester Square. So right now I am looking for things that I could do in London (not while dressed as the Flash!) on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe I’ll have a look at the Tate Modern gallery, a look around Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Tottenem Court Road…? Any sugestions?
