Feeling Pleased
Hearing jimmy the hoover .... remember them !!
Fun weekends and Baaaarrd boy stuff
It has been a good weekend !! Friday was a shutdown in work (No students ...pure admin time!!) so I managed to sort out my work and certification. Always nice to realise you are ahead of the game. I also finished the last bit of my PGCE and managed to get it submitted so was v pleased to have it behind me .
Met up with caroline fairly early on Friday and went into Weymouth for a night .. had dinner at Que pasa and went and had a few drinks around the old harbour. Found some karaoke and managed to embarrass all that knew me with renditions of Delilah and Crazy little thing called love .... A scottish bloke was in there singing too ... he was very drunk and suggested that he and I got together and fought all the sassenachs !! This didnt seem like the way forward so I left him to it ! I had visions of him stood on the bar with a face painted saltire doing the Mel Gibson "freedom" chant .... the knob !!
From there we got on to the last bus back to Portland ... never done this before and it was a true cultural delight . We were sitting upstairs and the bus filled very quickly with binge drinking youngsters . As the bus made its way to Portland the youngsters were running from side to side on the bus flashing their naked arses at everyone we passed . The girls were a lot more respectful and simply flashed their boobs at people . caroline and I declined the chance to join in but I did at one stage join in some raucous singing but a pitying look soon stopped me .
Before I get all high and mighty about the antics of the youth of today I recall I sometimes do remarkably childish things myself after the consumption of alcohol. During my student days our college rugby team was joined by a bloke called mark who was also an American football player . He was a former hells angel and had all the appropriate tattoos . I have never met such a boring and obnoxious man as him. He was 10 yrs older than the rest of us and was training to be a Religous Studies teacher which is a bit of a contrast to life as an angel !!. Myself and my two mates Nick Huizar and Si Hopkins decided to sort him out at the rugby club end of season piss up . We took £2 per head from our colleagues and made up some awards to be presented at the bash . Each prize was a pint of O.W.D Tom .... one of these fuel type beers which had to be blocked in one . Funnily enough mark won all the awards and had to drink lots of the bloody muck , but it was Nick who surpassed himself by lacing each drink with a chloroform based medicine . By nine Mark was unconcious and out came the Bic razor to redefine his hair and eyebrows. By the time Nick was through Mark didnt have a hair on his head which probably didnt help him the next day in his interview for a teaching job.
Before anyone points out the danger of this ... I know .. we could have killed him but hey ... we were young and stupid !! This is a shot of TULIP our band in college Si Hopkin is in yellow T shirt and Nick Huizar is passing me the cider bottle ... mid song probably !! 1986 !! The fraggle with the tambourine was simply known as hippie ... he is now a manager for Tesco !!
I taught privately on Sat morning and spent the afternoon on a Dorset beach ... when I got in I found out that had just landed a big contract for food hygiene delivery ... happy days !!
On saturday evening I got an E mail to confirm that my last piece of PGCE had passed and within seconds of opening the E mail I had been invited out by the lightening boy . Some quiet beers and home. Today am about to go swimming then taking mother out for dinner .. all things considered a pretty good weekend
Regards from Portland
Shaun

Regarding your bus journey home, bet Caroline was holding her breath that you wouldn't join in especially after your 'kareoke session' earlier...... not that i am casting aspersions !! Lovely pic of the sunset.
