Here’s a quick pic of No. 1 court in the second week on Wimbledon when I went over after work and got in for £9 (bargain!). Matina Navatalova was playing in the Mixed DOubles and won!

It was Richard (Benjamin’s) leaving night and we spent it here sosho3am.com. Pretty cool place to have a few drinks.

I now beleive in Ying and Yang, Good and Evil, Hot and Cold, Religion and Science etc. Today I went to see Green Day at Milton Keynes Bowl. Arrived at MK on the train with Jim, Chris and JD and then met Simon, Mike and Becs there. After having a quick nap before the pre-show, we got involved with some beers in the hot sunshine half naked… The supporting acts were Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, and Simple Plan. They were pretty impresive and wound up the crowd before the big event started. We all headed towards the front and from this point onwards it started to get a little messy… It was like being trapped in a tin of sardines but in an oven marinated in everyone elses sweat, mmmmm… Anyway, once we got over that, the show began and people started to go mad! It was the biggest mosh pit I have ever been in. It stretched the whole of the basin in the Bowl! In summary, the set lasted about 2 hours and we all had a wicked time with all the water being thrown in the air to us down, the classic songs, the made up band, jium getting suck into the ether and all the special effects. When the concert ended it started to go downhill. Our designated meeting point was put to shambles. Only 2 of us made it there at different times with boths of us with dead phones! The others made it to a different exit and so we were all separated heading back to the train station. The station was about a 30 min walk through park land and my hayfever was not having any of it. Having taken 2 tablets already that day I didn’t want to risk taking another and having a fit so I ploughed through the walk trying to resist but it was no use. I exploded 3/4 of the way there, sneezing and ichy eyes ball out. Good job I had some tissues though! It got slight better when i got to the station as everyone was wating for the last train back to Euston. It felt like the journey last about a million years and I was suffering from the hayfever still… Got back to Euston at about 1.30am… no buses and tube was closed. Walk about a mile before we found a taxi and got home at 2.30am! Nightmare! Anyway, I’m glad I went to see my favourite band from my teenage years again and it was good remembering all there past songs but it was weird to see little kids singing to them too!

At work, I’m allowed to use three days to carry out charity work so I decided to take one of these days to go with my team to work on converting a room @ Lee Manor School. The job (should we choose to accept!) was to convert an old PE changing room into the new library. It was a nice change to a normal day at work and everyone enjoyed themselves eventhough it was really hard work.

As you can tell I haven’t been posting for the last 3 weeks. Thats because I’ve been away in the US. I don’t really want to get into the detail but I had a really good time. I met lots of new friends in Chicago and had a wicked time in New York City. Below are some of the pictures from my trip. For a more detailed view please go here
