My weekend...

Greg James | 03:46 UK time, Monday, 10 November 2008

Good morning!  I had an excellent weekend, fully relaxed, recharged and ready for the new week.  However, I'm suffering from Monday morning syndrome this morning! 

I went back to my hometown of Bishops Stortford, saw a few old mates and went back to the club we all used to go to when we were at school.  It hasn't changed a bit.  Obviously.  There weren't many people in there, so we had the run of the dancefloor!  I did meet this bloke though:

I'm not really sure why he was dressed like that.  He was the only one in fancy dress.

I also went for a couple of rounds at a golf driving range where you compete with everyone by hitting balls into various targets on a massive field.  It's called Top Golf and there's a few around the country I think.  Really good fun, and particularly enjoyable was the section of the afternoon where we tried to hit the balls at the ball collecting cart.

I also made an awful blunder at a cash machine.  I accidentally took out 400 quid by pressing the wrong button.  In my defence, it was a really old machine and it took ages to respond, like an old computer.  I pressed the button to say 'cash with no receipt', it didn't do anything, so I pressed it again and at that second, it changed to the 'amounts' page.  Awful. Also, how many cash machines have you ever seen that give out £400 anyway!  Nicely overdrawn therefore this morning.

    I hate those machines, especially when you have to punch it in with the pen. I always have to make sure to press NO! It's a good thing my card only lets me take out only what I have.

    I hate those old slow machines. Exact same thing has happened to me a few times...except I accidently took out £200 or £100 not £400. lol Its so annoying. And then you're terrified walking around with loads of cash on you in case you lose it. Maybe thats just me being a cheapo student. :P xxx

    Friendly foreigner here...

    Maybe the Ali-G looking guy wanted to keep the Halloween fun going all week long?? Either that or the victim of some kind of practical joke, I think. "Costume night in Bishops Stortford!!!"

    Oh, and sorry to hear about your overdraft. Care to share the wealth??
