WoW.... what an action packed weekend! It meant I had next to no time to blog.... yes I am being over-enthusiastic and I wish something interesting happened....
My partner came to visit me in "our" flat this weekend. She is still having trouble finding a job down here in sunny Portsmouth, so I have to wait.. in OUR flat.. as long as she still pays HER bit of the mortgage!
I took her to London for her birthday present on Saturday. Her birthdat was on the 2nd of April, but the show I bought her tickets to did not open until the week after.
Footlose - The Musical is brilliant! For those of you that remember it, its based on the 1980's film "Footloose" and based on a real life story. The plot is basically about a city-boy who loves dancing and moves with his mom to a town where dancing is outlawed due to a local tragedy waaaay into the past!
I won't say much more than that because it spoils the party!
Either way its a great show, I didn't think I would enjoy it, but it was really very Enjoyable, and I think that Cheryl Baker and Stephen McGann really worked hard to fit in with the younger and more energetic cast.
After that we hit the Gala Casino at Picadilly. £100 later (about 90 minutes) we started to head home.
Not much happened Sunday. My partner went home, I went to bed.
Monday I was up at 02.30 to head in for the morning grind. A busy commuter run into London meant that I was run off my feet pretty much all the way. Everyone wanted to not go to work, I was already at work!
I also played darts last night for my old local team. I had to stay sober though as I was back into work for 03.48 this morning. Learnt a very interesting piece of rumour though. A guard at Brighton the other day heard our announcement for his train. It appears that Brighton station has been tipped off as to who is about to get the new South Western train franchise (it is current Stagecoach South West Trains) by announcing the service as the "First South Western" service to Basingstoke!
Do they know something we don't?
Please sir! Can I have £10,000 of shares in First Group.... I have a feeling they are about to win a new franchise! PINK SHIRTS AND TIES... here we come!
