The Ed power generator

A brilliant name for a funk band, dontcha think?

got it from star wars monopoly, which i played last friday on my visit to Nottingham to see dave.

Friday was just stupid. having changed my work hours to 9-2, i had time in the afternoon to get some shit out of the way that i'd been trying to do all week. the first two tasks were easy, send a parcel and pick up my photos. The only hard part of the next task was the long walk to national avenue to pick up a parcel. i was informed that i couldnt get it for another 48 hours when i got there. i could have got an earlier train to nottingham and started my break ooner.

the journey to nottingham had me a bit on edge. i had to make a change in sheffield. i've only ever done direct routes before and i was sooooo scared i'd miss the train and have to get the stupidly late one. i asked for info at the kiosk twice. i must have looked a right divvy.

Got to nottingham, dave and tracy prepared tea for me. after letting it settle we played monopoly. As well as dave, Danny played. Danny is from Zimbabwe and he's a top bloke. he provided drunk entertainment the night after. Danny trounced us both at monopoly.

Went shopping in nottingham on saturday. Is'nt it amazing how much money you'll spend on yourself just because you're somewhere different. i spent £20 on comics, bought Tommy on DVD and treated myself to god knows how many sundries.

one added bonus (and one huge coincedence) happenned while shopping in Fopp. there i was pondering over buying the looney tunes DVD. i looked over my left shoulder and there stood Rob browsing the Hip Hop section. he was in nottingham visiting his sister. he certainly was surprised to bump into me.

We drank staurday night, most of this being compiled in the photo album. Dave being his usual drunk and exuberant self caused danny much pain by giving him an almighty wedgie. to add insult to injury, dannt's pants came away in daves hands.

Sunday was a sedate day. read a book, watched telly, took pictures of dragons and had dinner at a pub by the canal. After dinner i got on the train to make my journey home.

All in all a lovely weekend. next time i see dave should (hopefully) be when he brings his band to Hull for a gig. i shall keep y'all posted.
