"The Fair"

The ones with the big wheels and stuff, I think it's "fair", and I will spell it like this throughout the post.

Anyway, yes, last night the fair was in town. Me and some friends thought, 'yeah, why not? It's a little expensive, but it's an evening out.' and therefore decided to go.



What a weird evening...

a) An urban dweller (chav, hur hur) started on a friend of mine because the chavs brother had started on my friend. Hope that makes sense. Basically, he was angry at my friend for being threatened by his little brother. Riiiight.

b) The weather was utter, utter poo. It was actually a quagmire. If there had been enough sexy ladies then I believe that a mud wrestling tournament would have been an inevitability.

c) We officially proved that a certain 'arcade' game is impossible to win. It was that game where you control, the claw, and it goes down and, hopefully, retrieves your prize. Wrong. We have a video on a friends phone of the claw opening on the way back up, releasing the prize back into the bottom of the case. Now that is a scam.

d) Somebody I know has suddenly become addicted to drink. Now this is no laughing matter, but he's done this to look cool. I'm not even convinced he likes beer. Weird. He's a bit of a socail reject as well; if Mr Burns from the Simpsons and Randal from Recess had a baby, this would be it. Anyway, he came out with some classics, such as his idea of the whole alphabet backwards ("zxyz").

e) For whatever reason, nobody wanted to go on many rides this year. I don't know whether it was seen as 'uncool' or what, but, basically, everyone turned into boring little poofy fagheads.

f) An ex-girlfriend of mine was a little drunk, and we all thought 'this is great, she's going to do something, like flash, perhaps' as she is pretty hot, and, luckily, I got all the attention. She had a hold of me for about half an hour at a time, and kept pinning me up against walls etc, as if about to go a little further. Shame she wasn't a little more drunk really. This was the one main highlight of a truly obscure evening.

g) Another good thing though was that I met a couple of people who I haven't seen in ages. We all know the people that you may class as urban dwellers, but are perfectly fine to talk to on their own. A guy who is a year older than me, called Simon, is one of those that I saw. He's in Year 12, but didn't stay on for 6th Form at my school, so it was good to see him again. Another guy I saw, named Jack, was as surprised to see me as I was to see him. We went to primary school together, and haven't seen each other since. It's about...6 years I think, since I last saw him.

Anyway, yes, a very mixed evening. We did the usuals, offering urban dwellers candy sticks when they asked for cigarettes (always goes down a treat) and pretended to be drunk on Red Bull, but overall, I have no idea wheher I enjoyed myself or not.

See, you need a nice one to replace your cheap nasty one.

I have a 2 watches.

1 cheep nasty one for work
1 nice expensive one I'm too scared to wear because my uncle bought it for me just before he died.

Ah, I told him last night. Like a little kid he was 'what u got me? tell me? tell me? oooh i can't sleep now!'

I'll wrap them up tho, but that part is for me. I like wrapping presents. Makes me feel like Santa.

Wasn't the idea of a present not letting the person receiving it know what it is until they've opened it?

I mean, that would seem to justify wrapping it up, and everything.

Hmmmm, crazy people.

Well that heart thing is useless, but cute.

The CD case thing, well he has loose CD's in the back of his car, so this comes in handy.

And the cup, he has to have coffee before he does anything in the morning, so it's useful, and cute.

The teddy bear is something for him to cuddle at night, since we are still long distance at the moment.

I don't think he wants a watch....and i think he has one but he just don't wear it.

Those things are all cuddly, cute things that he'll have little need for if we're being honest. Get something useful like a nice watch.

Also, you're 13th in the list so I'm still below you.

Hey don't worry about it so much. I was 1st at one point. I think it was around the time I broke up uni for xmas and had no money to go out.

Lol.

So far I got him a cup with 'I love you' written around it and 'A Lot' written in the bottom of the cup. A CD thing for his car, A heart thing and i'm going to get him a teddy bear.

I have no idea what else to get him.

Any ideas?

Glad to hear it. I'd be a bit annoyed if all I got for my birthday was a ticket to the sea life centre.

Edit: Nooooo, just realised I'm 15th in the top posters list for this month. My highest ever position. I suck.

Well obviously I've got him pressies too!
