hey youguuuuys!

pretty mint day today, so i’ll tell you aaaall aboot it. Mehdi and I decided to go to Manchester Airport for a coffee. (yeah…) So I took the train to Heald Green. I saw that girl I like at uni while i was buying my ticket, she was sat on her own with a huge luggage (it was almost bigger than her, bless), so she’s either going back home or going somewhere else. Should have said something. “I’m in your Database lectures…hehehehe” but didn’t, anyway got to Heald Green and met Mehdi, and we then took the train to the Airport.

Got to the Airport and decided to go to Terminal 1 to see all the planes, but Terminal 2 had all the travellators so we spent about 15 minutes walking on travellators. They have this hotel at the airport called the SAS Hotel, so we obviously had to pull jokes about the people staying there being SAS soldiers and doing everything over the top. “i’m going down to the lobby” *throws a rope down and shimmy their way down to the lobby*. Receptionist: “do you have a booking?, GOD DAMN YOU, DO YOU HAVING A BOOKING?!?” Also plenty of jookes about Arab terrorists.

Anyway we then went to Terminal 1 and played a bit on the arcade machines. (Mehdi beat me twice at Virtua Tennis ) We then grabbed out drinks, I had a lovely Chocolate with a muffin served by a lovely Finn.

After that we went into Manchester and pissed around in the shops. Went to P Rec, Vinyl Exchange then Forbidden Planet, then we suddenly had a Jack Bauer Wanking moment and we kept on going “awww..that guy is a legeeeend” and quoting him, my current favourite being:

“Jack, please, she doesn’t have anything to do with this”
“NOR DO THE PEOPLE DIEING IN THAT HOTEL, TELL ME WHERE THE OTHER VILES ARE OR I WILL MAKE YOU WATCH YOUR DAUGHTER DIE!”

Mehdi bought Season 5 simpsons, so we kept on quoting shit from that. “THEY’RE DOGS. AND THEY’RE PLAYING POKER…MUWHAHAHA!” and the last episode in season 5 being the classic that is . “…when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo, that used to be your best friend’s face!” AND the first episode is mint too: Barbershop Quartet. “Apu, there are rumours flying around that you are an Indian, is this true?” So need to get seasons 5,6 and 7 on dvd.

aaanyway we then to look for somewhere to eat, we went to Selfridges and wanted Sushi, but the place was packed since it was lunchtime so we said we’ll do that next time. So went round Selfridges a bit more and found a computer store with tons of Macs. The first one i went to was the one with the 30″ Cinema HD display. Wet myself. Then we checked out the laptops, made a pact with Mehdi that if we stay around Manchester for our placement year and dont’ have to pay for accomodation we will buy the most recent MacBook.

We ended up having lunch at Rice (suprise, suprise…) But it was pretty decent actually, cos it was their first year anniversary so we bought one meal and got another one free. We got 2 starters and 2 meals for £10. I paid. Mehdi owes me. During our meal i showed Animal Crossing to Mehdi, since he’s not seen it being played yet.

Waiting for our meal to digest, we had a talk about the SAS again, so i decided to buy an Andy McNab novel i saw in Oxfam with Mason a while ago (Firewall, it was called. £2.). So Mehdi bought it me. Then we split up and I got on the bus and he went upto the train station. With him shouting “THEY’RE DOGS…AND THEY’RE PLAYING POKER! MUWHAHA”

5/5.
