Murphy's law
I love jeff's personal tutor! he has the same attitude towards Monday 9 starts as we do... Avoid at all costs! I dont think a lecturer has ever had an ovation, standing or not!
Yesterday there was a Taekwondo tournament. And due to unforseen circumstances... wait, no, just my stupidity, i couldn't take part because i still had my knee strapped up. Anyway, i was up at 6. AM. As in MORNING!! Get up, and there's a light on that as far as i know has never been on before. It's like an emergancy light at the top of the stairs, and i dont know if it comes on my movement or what. But anyway, it was on, and the alarm wasn't going off, so i figured it was ok.
And I was at the guild for 8. AM. Again as in Morning! So we're standing there for about 10 mins after 8 in the Freezing cold... but i had been clever enough to put on a few layers, unlike some people who thought tee and light jacket would be enough. Fools!... When Alan Neil finally decide to show up. In suits. Becasue they're black belts, and we're going to an event where other black belts are present, they have to wear suits.
Anyway, neil and, um, Neil, go and get the minibuses, and after a minute of confusion where we get into one only to be told that it isnt ours and we get onto a different one, we're off to Stratford. Seems like a nice area, the whole 10 minutes i got to see of it before getting to the spots centre where the tournament is being held. And we're in the trailing minibus, watching in surprise as the lead minibus decides that one bay and a little over the lines is too much like hard work, and precedes to set the middle of the minibus (which is about the size of the crammy minibus) over the + formed by 4 parking bays. And we're like "Yeah, cos THAT'S legal!"
Headed in to the tournament, and there are these kids, can't be more than 5/6... and they're frigging Black belts! And there was this one kid, about 7ish maybe, who was a second dan! Which is the second level of a black belt! So in theory we have to call these little kids "sir" cos they're frigging dans! It sorta depresses ya when you realise that these kids have been taught to a level that in theory they could kick your ass!
Got on with the tournament, and friends did well. The guys in the 10-7th gup band got broze while the gals got silver. And we got silver in the 3-1st gup lass group too. In the afternoon it was the black belts turn to fight, which cheered Alan up a fair bit, as he wasnt needed during the morning and had been a little, um, distracted, i think is the word. Anyway, we sorta, um... got our asses kicked in that competition, but what the hey, its all good fun at the end of the day.
Got back to the minibus's, and the one that had decided that + marked the spot had a parking ticket! Apparently out thought of "Yeah, cos THAT'S legal!" was the same as the stradford council! They had been fined £30! Have to laugh at that. Got back to Birmingham, and on the way realised that bar about 30 minutes we hadn't actually seen the sun all day. Kinda depressing a bit. But yeah, it was fun all in all. Played leap bus with the other minibus on the way back, and so beat their asses at it and got back before them.
Me, competitive? NO!
Got back, and turned on my light, forgetting that when i had done it in the morning it had gone. So no problem, switch on my desk lamp. Then find the bathroom light has gone aswell. Great! Murphy's law... or at least one of them. And then my phone decides that it's going to die on me unless i charge it, so i unplug the plug next to my laptop, curse, and spend a little time trying to find the plug i just let go of cos it was my lamp plug. Yeah yeah, i know, dumbass. Anyway, getting a new lightbulb tomorrow... if between us we remember to buy a box...
Think that's it... No 9 start tomorrow! My new physiology lecturer is great!

You changed it! I can post comments.
Anyway, glad to hear you had fun, and i know what it's like not having any lights that work. The first time i can down here over the summer, the only lights that had bulbs were the kitchen, bathromm and the other downstairs bedroom. Not even our lamps had bulbs. Apparently the guys before us had decided to smash the light bulbs before they left.
