A New Hope

STAR WARS!!!!! Ok nothing….anyway…..what? Oh hell restart….

So it’s been a very weird couple of days – talked to the Money girl Shiv (errr actually it was an email you geek) which was a bit of a blast from the past, not as much as Mariatzell popping up and chatting too!!! Craziness. She was like ‘oh yeah I was going to send you a collage of photos of us but you changed addresses’ – yikes! I missed out! If there’s one thing I’d like more of from France it’s photos (or the ability to relive entire months hehehe)…

I watched almost the entire Series 1 of The Office last night and it was amazingly funny, I might watch Series 2 tonight – anyway that’s not the point the point is that I didn’t sleep very well but for some SICK reason I feel great today. Maybe it’s because I just ordered a book from Amazon and I’m going to work on the website again today AND the big edit starts for the December issue today so I WILL become an Editor today! Yippeeeee!!!

“I came back, like Jordan in the 45, not to play with you dudes…”

Daddy – Rewind!

Well well well Joss scored last night in an
alcohol fuelled shocker…I think he woke up with a hangover but a
smile on his little chops (and his little chop). I apologise for that
sentence.

So Grenoble is coming to an end (not the town, my stay here). Amazing
to think how long i’ve been here and yet how short the time seems -
LISTEN TO YOUR GRANDPARENTS KIDS when they tell you time flies.

I think I have another ^%**^% essay to do for Warwick before the 31st
of this month. Biznitch. I think i’ll do one about Le Pen, should write
itself.

Clubsindex.Com is growing daily…I think by this time next year it will be a very popular website…

The plan: Home to Sturton on the 25th May, then to Warwick on the 27th
May, then maybe home again when (if) a job is secured, then back to
Warwick for the summer. Right.

If i’m at Warwick over the summer I hope there’s loads of test matches to watch…Cricket = FUN ladies and gents…

It is now officially b-b-q and party season in Grenoble. Yesterday we
went to 2 parties and then a bar, today we’re going to an all day
barbecue and then to work at Notre Dame, tomorrow we have another date
at Favella (maybe), but maybe a different party, Saturday is a big all
day bbq at a French guy’s house (who’s coming to Warwick next year on
Erasmus), and then it’s Sunday….phew….I can feel my liver picking
up the phone and calling….112….

Preétat des lieux

So I just had this
meeting with the man responsible for my appartment. He came round to
the place to tell me everything that needed to be cleaned before I
leave.

OH MY GOD.

Now I’m not saying that this guy is an obsessive compulsive or
anything, but SHIT did he write down a lot of stuff for me to do. I was
longing for a Cryfield room when he left, where as soon as you’d taken
your suitcase out, there was no more space to dirty…

Today we’re getting some exam marks back and other stuff, and
Mariatzell’s coming back from Lyon which will be a treat yep yep yep.
Oh yeah and I bought my train ticket home (the London –> home leg)
and DORIS BATBRAIN here sent it to home (in England) instead of France.
Anyway hopefully moms and pops will wise up and send them on. Hopefully.

Pastis is the new drink by the way. And lots of it.

You Want Drama?

Yo so this is the deal: I have to clean my
appartment from top to bottom because the guy is coming over tomorrow
morning to look at it before I leave (he makes sure I haven’t broken
anything). SO today I’m trying desparately to fix all the broken stuff,
like the bathroom shelf (thanks Mariatzell!) and the fridge (thanks
shit fridge).
In other news: Clubsindex.com is now starting to make
me some money (rephrase: Clubsindex.com now has advertising, thus it is
possible for it to, at some point in the distant future, make me enough
money to buy a new mouse).

Everyone seems to have finals at the moment. Good luck to everyone,
including #1 in the whole world….Laura! I’m coming home on the 25th
of May btw.

It looks like it’s snowing outside but actually it’s loads of pollen
all fluffing around the atmosphere. Weird. Grenoble’s climate must be
the weirdest ever…examples…last week we had the most snow since 1
year ago, then today it’s baking hot and sunny, but 2 days ago it was
pissing it down with rain. I now have a cold like a bastard. Doh.

The Past

That’s the past and this is the future so don’t worry about it….

I
went to Frank’s nightclub last night, The Favella, and it was
gorgeous…just wicked and I really know that he has landed squarely on
his feet. One slight problem was that the owner took a shine to me (not
like that) and gave our table a free half bottle of gin (to go with the
full bottle we bought) so i promptly drank it, went outside, and was as
sick as a royal dog.

I got my ticket home to England recently:

07h49 Grenoble —> Paris
12h19 Paris —> London

97.50euros or around �65 at my unique exchange rate.

All’s Well

That ends well, and at least the fucking night is
over. Nightmare at work, well not really but Nanou wasn’t very happy
because there were basically only these fucking arsehole spaniards who
didnt drink and just stank the place up…oh well. Two days ago I went
to a brilliant restaurant with Mariatzell, I’ve had my beard chopped
off along with my hair, some fuckbag found the phone that i’d dropped
in a shop, entered the pin AND PUK code 10 times and now the card is
fucked, and well…I am tired. Nanou said this tonight, and I think he
has a good point:

“If you give importance to a monkey, he thinks he’s a gorilla”

Also I just realised that if evolution is true then it seems to me that
thinking about shit was the last thing to evolve (dogs just fuck all
day long and don’t care). Interesting….

Strange Day

Yes it is.

I uploaded my French Essay
for your enjoyment. There’s also a link at the top of the page for
later. If anyone has any essays on thier computer that they wouldn’t
mind sharing with the class then email them to me and I’ll put them on
the site. I don’t know why.

Sorry to hear about the 18 dead people in Germany. Weird coz I was talking about Columbine today and well there you go.
Also it’s a tragedy that Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes is also dead in a car crash (see BBC News Online for both stories if you wanna.

My parents rejected an offer of �182,500 for our house recently. That’s a lot of Bart Bucks. I hope they sell the sucka.

Finished Oliworld.Com (well not finished but kind of ready for use). Check it out!

Hello Darling

Well it’s been a weird couple of days…Last
nihgt I was on French TV for 2 minutes, talking about the Le Pen issue
and stuff…very cool…I have it on video too so hopefully i’m going
to be able to bring it home and show everyone my 5(ish) minutes of fame.
Went
to see Freddy Jay again at Systeme last night, it was a bit of a
disappointment after the first time, it wasn’t very well promoted I
don’t think, so the people were’nt as good but it was still great, and
I bought a mixtape made by him which is awesome too so it turned out
cool.
Worked tonight, it was a good night overall….I am just in a
daze after sending off my Warwick essay, I’m so glad I have it out of
the way now. I’ll post it on the site soon so Laura can criticize it
(joke!).
Peace

Psycho

Wowzer – look at the time. Doesn’t it just fly by when you’re FINISHING YOUR ESSAY!!! Yes…1500 words on the Euro. Great news.
Le
Pen seems to have created a bit of a stir in France. Nanou, the owner
of the bar, reckons it’s huge for society, because now you can really
look people in the eyes and know what they’re thinking. 20% of the vote
went to the extreme right. That’s a lot of hate. French society
(Grenoble society) really does have a problem at present, and I don’t
see it improving. The only way this could be beneficial(sp?) is if it
wakes up the ‘intellectuals’(sp?) of France and makes them stop wafting
on about being the sons of Voltaire and look to the future of their
country which is going downhill fast.

Rant over.

Big week: Tomorrow – Work, Real Madrid vs Barcelon. Wednesday – DJ
Freddy Jay is BACK IN GRENOBLE! Thursday: Work. Money money money.

Sent out the Clubsindex.Com
newsletter tonight which featured a wicked article by Beckingham’s own
Matt Render. Big ups to him. If you didn’t get it it’s because you’re
NOT SUBSCRIBED. So sign up coz it’s ace.

Furthermore….fuck it i’m off to bed.
