I should have been leaving work in daylight today and I was planning to enjoy the sunshine by sitting in a park and continuing in my attempt to read Don Quixote, but not content with working an eight hour day when asked if I wanted to add another 5 hours to it I foolishly said yes.
That said it does mean more money and by being an overtime monkey I am reaping the rewards. Today was pay day for the last month and I managed to boost my earnings by 25% and the next pay check should be even better, as if I keep my current pace up I’ll be boosting it by about 40%.
9 months after the latest World Cup and the results are coming in. It would seem that although the German team may have only got to the semi finals, the population at large had no problem keeping it up until the end and currently a baby boom is being experience with the birth rate up by about 30%.
The third installment of your student loan is in and for some of you it seemed as if you were trying to see how quickly you could drink through it. Just in case you can’t remember last night the photos are now up to help remind you of the night.
A couple of nights ago on a night out whilst waiting for some tardy friends to show up I picked a direction and walked in it until I got to Bristol’s most famous bridge; the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I took a photo to show that I’d wandered out that far along the waterfront, but unfortunately it didn’t turn out that well as I only had my cameraphone with me and so here is a photo of a different bridge, which I managed to get a much better photo of when I got back to the centre of Bristol.
There are certain things you shouldn’t do to crocodiles, according to the saying you shouldn’t smile at them and another thing you shouldn’t do to them is taunt them with sticks and catapults after breaking into their home, as the friends of a hapless child learned today.
They really should have thought it through a bit better. After all, catapults are fine for taunting crocs*, as you can stay out of reach, but sticks are most definitely a bad idea - Unless they’re long sticks.
*Actually they’re not fine for taunting crocs as taunting animals is cruel, but like a lot of things, if you’re going to do it then at least do it safely!
