I had the craziest day I have had in a long time on Friday.

My day began when I had to get up at 5am to fly to Birmingham for a work meeting starting at 9.30 am. For those of you that don’t know, I have fecked up my knee and am having a tad difficulty walking at the mo, i am mobile, just not the quickest (not that I am an athlete at the best of times) anyway after a flight, two train journeys, and a painful 15 minute walk, I arrived at the meeting. MY GOD, it was boring!! Still it did have a nice Buffet, which kinda makes up for some of it. But still, Meetings are definatley the excuse for not doing anywork

Anyway once the moaning session, oops I mean meeting had finished, the chairperson graciously booked me a taxi back to the airport. The cabbie seemed like a nice guy, chatted to him all the way to the airport, and gave him, what i thought, was quite a genreous tip. So got into the terminal, made for BA’s express booking machine, typed in my refernece number, was then asked to put in a bank card or credit card to confim my ID, “Oh shit” I said, “Where is my Wallet, I LEFT IT IN THE FECKIN’ TAXI” panic stations were fully manned as I frantically limped back out to see if the taxi was still there, nope, GONE!!!

I then limped over to the Information desk and saw the look of fear in the staff member’s face as this manically limping, crazed looking, shaven headed, goatee beard sporting short ass Scotsman approached her. Thank god there were no armed police around or it could have been the end of yours truely. Anyway, I explained the situation to her. She then phoned the taxi firm to check if the driver had it.

Now, this is where my predjudice comes in, we hear so many stories of people leaving things in taxis and never seeing them again, I had began to resign myself to the fact that this would happen in my case, but no, the cabbie came back, handed me my wallet, made me check that everything was there before leaving. WHAT A STAR, another bit of my faith in human beings has been restored.

So now the strange part. I don’t know anyone in Birmingham, so can you imagine my surprise when I heard someone shout my name when I was about to take my seat on the plane!!! I turned round and saw my colleague Vivian who was just flying back from her honeymoon in Paris, what are the chances of us being on the same flight?!?!?!?!?!

Now the good bit. I had wanted to go See Aim in concert at King Tuts on Friday night, but the way I was feeling, I was pretty much going to be heading hope, drinking a bottle of Vino collapso and vegging. But when I arrived home I thought “Feck It” went and got Marc, went to the gig and had an excellent night. Read the review here.

It is now Sunday Morning, I am shattered, i went to see Lambchop at the ABC tonight after being up at 8 am to attend my Transactional Analysis course. I recon I should fall into a coma around 6pm tonight(I have to get through another day of my course) unless I go to the cinema with my mates. I don’t think i will be forgetting this wekend anytime soon!!
