Amusing combination... ;)

Hehe... ;) An end to "Not tonight dear...I've got a headache" excuses...Snapped in the gents at the "Iron Horse" pub in Merstham...

Had quite a busy (but also strangely relaxing) weekend, Friday night Flyingpops and I got a cab into Redhill for a "New York" style meal in "Frankie and Bennys" (which actually was kind of like being in New York (apart from all the chav children drinking cocktails underage/yelling at/snogging each other))...I had their signature "Black and Blue Burger" which is a kind of burnt cinder of minced beef topped with runny blue cheese...and it wasn't too bad at all, thanks for asking! It actually did *kind* of take me back... :)

Saturday morning was eaten up by the Xbox game "Black" which is absolutely excellent (thanks Mr Jonkinson for recommending it ;) it's kind of like a super serious version of Goldeneye on the N64 (lots of replay value going back to complete each mission at greater difficulty levels, with extra objectives and less health packs) but based around so called "Black ops" US government operatives, the environments are super deformable which adds considerably to the realism (I keep having to stop myself wasting grenades near large areas of glass)...anyway, if you like "Run and Gun" games, go and get it, it's awesome...

Sunday we went over to see G/S/A mostly to take Mr.S his birthday present (a Dr Who DVD to complete his set) - Alexander is *almost* crawling now, but not quite, he seems perfectly content to just get excited about things out of his reach, the realisation that he can motivate his body to get nearer to them doesn't quite seem to have occured to him yet, but it won't be long... ;) Then Sunday night I did roast beef for Flyingpop's folks, ate it and then promptly fell asleep on the sofa, quite exhausted...could have done with another hour in bed this morning too, so I obviously needed it... ;)
