Today I venture out into Shepherd's Bush to buy... ALL THE STUFF I DON'T HAVE IN THE NEW FLAT!
This is a lot of stuff.
I am hoping that a combination of Argos and The 99p Store will suffice and maybe a tasty bit o' Tesco's homewhere...
Yesterday I bought:
Bathmat
Fish slice
Wooden spoon set
2 x Handwash (one kitchen, one bathroom)
Baking tray
Oven mitts
10 x Storage Boxes
SCART lead
Cordless phone
Knife sharpening steel
Disinfectant
Binbags
Air freshener
Shower gel
I also bought a pear-tree with a free partridge attached.
That's the best purchase. I bought myself 3 mins this morning by cleaning my teeth in the shower. I could have bought myself another few minutes by shitting in the shower but I thought it might be a little toooo french.

I actually did that in France when I was a kid.
We had gone there on a camping holiday when I was 6 and my folks warned me about the funny French lavs where there's no seat and you have to hover over a hole in the ground.
To my young mind this was pretty terrifying (what if I fell in the hole of poos?) so I decided to try and get through the holiday without a plop.
After a couple of days nature wouldn't take no for an answer; I would have to be brave and evacuate my bowels in a scary French squat-spot.
As this was the first time I'd ventured to the back of the toilet block on the campsite, I naturally assumed that all the cubicles with doors were crappers.
Door locked, shorts and y-fronts down. Very small hole in the floor.... take aim....bombs away.......aaahhh, relief. Strange, there's no bog roll in these weird French toilets either.
I leave the cubicle as the door next to me opens and an old French guy totters out in flip flops and a towel. The penny drops; I've just shit in a shower. I run like fuck back to our tent before anyone notices.
That evening I accompany my Dad and brother for a shower. The crime scene has been locked and bears a sign that my young brain couldn't translate.Even then I guessed that it probably said 'Shower out of order because some dirty bastard has blocked the drain hole with a big jobbie. Zut alors!'
I'm going to pay for my motorbike theory test on friday, get that little bugger out of the way. I'm also going to buy myself a decent open face helmet and give it a paint job

I do plan to in the very near future. As soon as I'm settled in Newcastle really. Good luck with yours Jack. Let's go on biking holidays eventually, yeah!
i will be riding a norton commando or a royal enfield on the holidays.
i will be the "cool" one...
Royal Enfields are nice, I've seen some nice custom ones. My Dads mate has a Norton Commando, its around 90% restored.
I've ridden one of my dads AJS bikes up and down the lane, that's got a 500cc single cylinder engine, its not really 100% complete yet, he's considering changing it again.
The bike below is his AJS 1955 500cc twin. He wont let me ride this yet
