The train of eternal annoyance

Matthew Hacker, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get back to bristol to see the family. Along the way,you will encounter such problems as high wind, train delays, and an annoying tendency to need a drink when you havent any money. The internet you are using to make this blog will crash in five seconds.

Well the good news is.... i made it! Im doing this update from my comp at my house.Despite setting off at 1pm, i didnt get back to bristol until 7.30, in which time i lost my sanity, my sense of direction, and the toilets.

It ll take me the weekend to recover from just the train,and to think, on sunday, i have to do it all again. Now while this thought provides me with as much hope as a bank overdraft, as i find train rides to be completely boring after the first hour, ill find something to do, thats why we have books...

Blogdate

Hack in London

One cold night, hundreds of underground rides, and a lot of pictures. Thats my sightseeing tour of London. I didnt get lost, and had one hell of a good time. These are a few images from the pictures i took that night - enjoy!

Fluke or Fate?

Now some of you are probably thinking what on earth am i rambling on about, but ive had the strangest day ever. Why is it whenever i go out to buy small things like food or some pens that i end up spending a lot more. Today i should have spent around 2.50 in tesco for odds and ends, but somehow in the space of an hour, and some shops, ive managed to spend 300. But not on regular things. Anyone remember nintendos old game and watches? the little things that take batteries and pre date the game boy? well today i didnt just find one, i found three, all of which came with the original boxes. How could i refuse that? and all for the low price of 90 pounds. But then on the way home, i stop in WHSmith. Usually i buy magazines, but today, what do i find but a nintendo wii, on the shelf ready to be bought - 215 pounds down the drain later im home. Maybe i should actually play the thing now...

Exhibits

ive had the pleasure of seeing this exhibit on two seperate occasions, and yet even though i had seen it all before, i still had the sense of wonder and amazement. The quality this year was incredible, in all the categories. Hopefully ill have the oppertunity to see it again next year. In the meantime, heres the link to the website
