Farms and Stuffs.

So Becki and I went to Hackney City Farm yesterday. I really liked this goat. We also saw geese, chickens, sheep and lambs, pigs and a donkey. Other pictures can be seen on my facebook page. I think the goats were friendliest. 

After the farm we went for a pint in a pub called The Albion. Then we left there and got a bus along to Hackney, we went in The Cock Tavern and it was very grimey in there, so we came back to Baker's Arms and had a pint in the irish pub there, The Bootlaces. We had Guiness. It was nice. Even when I squashed a tiny fly and it landed in my pint, I fished him out and finished the pint anyway... Mmmm fly guts in my beer. Tasty!! 

We got more beer from the off licence and ordered pizza at my house. Mmmmm Mr Domino. :) There is a secret deal, not advertised anywhere that I've never seen that Becki let me in on. You can get a 7 inch pizza, plus garlic pizza bread for less than 8 quid. BARGAIN!! Our pizzas didn't arrive, so after 50 minutes, I rang to check on them. There had been a mix up and for our inconvenience - we got our whole dinner for a bargain price of 10.50 for two pizzas and two garlic breads. It was very tasty. Less fat than when we order medium pizzas as well!! 

It was all a far cry from the £96 I paid last time, when 3 of us got pizza and we didn't get a deal and they charged my card three times. Silly bastards. Yes I was quite surprised too when I saw that on my statement. I like pizza, but not 96 pounds worth. Lloyds did eventually refund me, but no more pizza on the debit card for B and I. Only cash now or no pizza for us! 

Today my new manager started at work. He seems ok. It doesn't change the fact that a new job is required though. 

I went to the gym tonight. Did 6 km in 40 minutes. Better than 5.5 km in almost 46 minutes as per Friday, but not as quick as I'd like. Must run more often and get better at it and hopefully get thinner too. Hopefully. . . Tired now, so night nights xx

  1. You have the most free time on your hands of anyone I’ve ever met, apart from the long-term jobless! And I have the least – although that’s because I’m a greedy, capitalist bastard and also, working every waking hour prevents me from stopping, examining my life and making painful decisions.

    Your present job doesn’t sound so bad, you know… you can take days off, go out and perform in the evenings and have time to volunteer at the zoo. Even at Imperial, you’re expected to spend time in Geneva at weekends (unpaid) catching up on what you’ve missed during the week because of time spent in the UK. Your life sounds pretty cool, but then I guess I don’t have to endure the mind-numbing tedium of sitting in an office with people I hate. Oh no, actually I do. It’s just that they work for me.

    Why do you want to become a thin girl? Everybody knows that big girls are better, and this is borne out by the fact that, on the newsstand at CERN, there is a popular, pornographic publication entitled “Les Big Ones”. I have several copies myself, which I have taken care to set against the taxpayer in my expense account.

    The next thing we know, you’ll be taking elocution lessons to get that Sloaney, hee-hawing bray, before going to Hee-Haw finishing school. That’s where they teach you to give mediocre, resentful blowjobs, before sending you out into Kensington to find a simple-minded Rupert.

    By the way, I liked the look of that goat as well…

  2. I am like....SO...cool with my intimate Dominos knowledge, I'm a Domino Oracle I am!

    That goat was in love with you Jo. I didn't tell the story about how you almost murdered it though. Exploitings its greedy nature by feeding it poisonous thorn-ridden greens. Nature lover my arse!!

  3. On the nature theme, I’ve noted increasing demand for animal education.

    First, we have the panda kindergarten:

    Then, the orang-utan nursery and forest school:

    I’m considering rolling up the following enterprises as a single venture:

    Primary School for Woodpeckers
    Grammar School for Squirrels
    University of the South of England for Elephants

    I think there’s an opening in the market.
