Hey all,
It's been a gorge day here today. I didn't get to sleep until late though.
Well, Mark rang the other day to tell me that our landlord has decided to change over to a different estate agents. We're currently with Griffin Estates, and he wants to change to Luxury Living. The only dealings we've ever had with Luxury Living was with this fat bitch called Liz Lane who was totally rude and obnoxious with me when I bollocked her for constantly pressing the buzzer for our flat to be let into the block so she could show some clients around. She did it about 10 times in two weeks, and one week kept waking Matt up who was doing nights, so I told her to stop it.
Anyway, needless to say we don't want to stay with Luxury Living and are in the process of looking at a new flat under Griffin Estates. There're some flats about 5 mins walk up the road closer to the M60 which has three vacancies in it, so Mark went to see that today, and took some pictures for me. It looks nice, but I'm just concerned at the seemingly lack of space in the front room. Anyone who has seen our front room will know that we have a big shelving unit that takes up a lot of wall space, so we have to make sure that fits in. We will probably move to the flat on the 1st floor too, so it'll be a bit safer. Mark says that Matt's bedroom looks bigger too, so Matteus Rosé will have some extra space, which I hope will be ok for him.
It's such a faff having to move. We don't *have* to move, but I don't know anything about Luxury Living, and for all I know they are a load of charlatans. Indeed, given the last encounter with their ugsome representative, that woyuld seem to be the case: what estate agents doesn't have the front door key for the block of flats they're selling for?!
Ugsome - I've been trying to use that word for ages! It describes Liz Lane prefectly...
Anyway, that's all that gone on really. Janet Lloyd has told be that I can't do the Advanced Translation Module next year. So I think I'll try my hand at Spanish Interpreting, but if it's too hard and I won't do well on it, I'm going to do the dissertation. I've asked her the details for the dissertation, so hopefully that's all sorted. I can still do Portuguese Extended Translation, and I get the theory from Spanish Advanced Translation, so it's not all bad. I blame the limpets that are in my class who can't be arsed doing anything! Sorry, but it's true! Half the time they wouldn't have a clue what was going on if I didn't tell them! They are really nice guys, just totally lazy!!! lol
Well, I'm off to listen to more disco hits on my CD!
I was listening to a tape before too, from about 1997; I found it in my hi-fi at the top where the tape player is. I was thinking ow amazing it is in the 21st Century. If we like a song, we can dowload it at the touch of a button (well I can't with crappo internet connection, but you get my meaning) and 'bam' it's there on your music player. Beforehand, like on the 1997 tape, you had to record it off the radio with all the crappy DJ bits tagged at the start and finish! It was much more hard work to get songs for free, but strangely more rewarding. Waiting for ages to record the song you want (I remember listening to "The Rewind" on Key 103 for about 3 months waiting for Blondie - Heart of Glass) and then something mental would happen like the tape would run out! D'oh! Anyway, I still do that, but I use Mini Discs, as you can now flick through to your fave song rather than fastforwarding through the tape!
Anyway, on that random not (boom boom), I'm off to groove on down!
Ben xxxx
