Occurences in the night

On Thursday night/Friday morning, I was awoken at somewhere around 2am by a pretty squealy screech outside - I will sleep with the window open. I looked out and a car had just stopped. Shortly following this were a set of flashing blue lights and a large amount of noise.

One police car turned up sharpish and pulled alongside the car. Next news, after a brief chat into a walkie-talkie thingy, another police car shows up.

Another short while later, a police van turned up. It was at this point were I became disappointed, because I discovered that my camera had no batteries, so I couldn't take any pictures =[

But then, to cap off an already exciting wake-up, a third police car arrived! This is certainly something I've never witnessed before, so I was in my element! The driver person was put in cuffs and then into the van and shortly driven off, followed by one of the 3 cars. An extended time later, a breakdown type truck turned up. It already had a car on it. This was taken off and the pulled over car was put on. Not as easy as it sounds, whatever had happened the latter managed to put a hefty white mark on the road - perhaps the tyre had come off - who knows? Then the former was attached to the forks at the back and the whole lot then got bundled off to somewhere.

What a day. Night. Day. Whatever.

Love Milord.

Oh, also, during this time of around about half an hour, 3 Royal Mail lorries went past ^_^

Hooray, Hooray, It's April Fool's Day!

Yesterday first, today after. So we met in Do-Dahs; Me, Kirsty, Kirsty, Sammy and Shirin and then later on Simon turned up. And from there, no we didn't get the train*, we got the bus up to Accrington to the bowling. I handed my left trainer in and asked the guy if he could spray it for me - he did. We managed to get almost 2 games out of our hour, which is very good. The first game did not start well for me, by the forth go - as in, after 6 balls - I still hadn't hit any and Sammy had about 30 points. By the end of the game I had 90 points and Sammy had 85. My 3 strikes did help me there. The seond game started fairly well really, my form hadn't changed and I was managing to get most of the balls down in one. The Arrogance-meter was up to the red area**. So, what with me getting 3 more strikes I got a blistering 113, while Sammy was somewhere around 80ish. I could have had another strike, but I timed out just before it counted it. Oh well.

After that we spent a lot of time and money in the arcade area. About 3 quid on the slots, 2 on the air hockey - which Kirsty will delight in telling people she beat me both times - and best part of £3 on the grabber machine. Slightly dejected we went to the Golden Arches to play Monopoly. I had a free Big Mac and bought the smallest drink ever. I should have realised when it cost me 89p.

The following hours were mainly uneventful; we got the bus to our respective destinations - I stopped off at Kirsty's to get some stuff for me cousins and a dark chocolate Easter egg, which is now gone - and then went on my way once more. I did some work when I got home, and then in'th'evening we watched The Incredibles, which is just awesome ^.^

Today wasn't very successful. For a start I finally woke and got up at 12:47, so I missed any jokes set on me.

Getting up so late also meant that most of the day had disappeared before I'd even said hello to it. I basically had dinner, went on the computer: facebook, as one does. On the Dragons app. I apparently had 15 attacks, from two creatures, I rang Simon because one of them was using 14 of those 15 - well, not because of this but I thought that perhaps it was a virus, what with some of the stats it had. He texted me later on saying that it was most likely an April Fools, we'd both completely forgotten about that. So it now seems silly that I thought it might be a virus.

And then I stuck some music on a did some work. And that's it.

When the parents got in we had tea and watched...football...which I almost never do. It wasn't too bad either; Man Utd won 2-0 and none of the fans got seats inconveniently rammed through their faces.

Then most recently I watched some cool adverts*** on youtube and a thing to do with HL2 that baffled me immensely but which was fairly cool all the same.

Busy day.

Love Milord.

*Don't worry, I just had a brief conversation with the part of my brain that thinks of ridiculous things, like the getting a train instead of a bus, in a similar way to if I had put we'll get a boat to Swizerland.

**For one day I was almost as arrogant as Simon.

***Including Guinness Hands and Guinness Dominoes, Smirnoff Triple Distilled and the new Honda ad.
