Bath

Rachel and I popped to Bath this weekend to see Luke Scammell and his partner, Becc. Luke and I have been MSN/ICQ/IRC pals for nigh on six years, and up till now had never met. A while ago, we decided to set a date for our first meeting, and now, with one slight postponement, we have!

Bath is a lovely city; never fails to disappoint, although this weekend it nearly did cos it rained most of the bloody weekend! Rach and I ventured out to the shopping centre on Saturday and bought a few bits and bobs. Otherwise, we mostly chatted, watched DVDs, drank white white and ate quite a lot of lovely food.

What do I think of Luke now that I’ve met him the flesh? To be honest with you, he’s a lot nicer than I’d expected. His manner on MSN is quite brash and blunt, but in person, he’s a lot more considerate and decent. Quite a contrast there! However, I must say that even though he comes across like that online, I have always thought him to be a trustworthy and honest bloke. So in that respect, the online Luke and the person Luke are one and the same.

It was lovely to see Rachel too – I hadn’t seen her for 2 weeks since we came back from Majorca (due to my going to Leicester last weekend)!

Stuart

Omg, from the comments Stuart’s made on this blog, I do believe I’ve seen a side to him that I’ve never seen before – the thoughtful, reflective and intelligent Stuart. Who would have believed it?

Don’t you just love it when people continue to surprise you even if you’ve known them for a while. Stuart certainly has many sides to his personality and character – perhaps he’s schizophrenic?

For all of you in the know, Stuart’s going to be my best man at Rachel and I’s wedding, and his comments on this blog have reassured me that he’s going to give a blinding speech. Who could ask for anything more?

This weekend I’ve got my best mate Stuart and his girlfriend Karen staying with me. Lovely jubbly. Ain’t seen Stu for the best part of 3 months, so it’s good to see him, and very nice to finally meet his girlie. I think we’re going to *try* and be cultural this wend, by going to the Tate Modern. We’re thinking also of going along to the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Park Gardens to see a BSL-terped talk about Cy Twombly, an American artist. Be nice to see it, especially if its terped. Then I’ll cook us a tikka masala tonight and we’ll chill out with a few DVDs and some beers (white wine for Karen). Tomorrow, will drag them to a local pub for a massive Sunday lunch (at the Spoons).
