So I did the Celebrity Pub Quiz at EDC tonight -
Categories: So I did the Celebrity Pub Quiz at EDC tonight. A lovely evening had by all, a tie breaker to decide it for the second consecutive week (this weeks tie breaker set by me - Which year did St Helens first win the Rugby League Challenge Cup? Answer - 1956) and the celebrity factor at the quiz was boosted by the fact I was getting text messages from Donnaleigh (out of Doctors) whilst I hosted. She was gloating because she got a proper screen kiss today rather than the CPR that I had to make do with but I don't even care anyway. I'm not even bothered.
Driving home this evening I saw a man get out of his car, walk to the car in front and hit the driver. It was a set of traffic lights in Hendon. I think I may feel as shook up about this as I would have done if I had been directly involved. It does nothing for the nerves driving around London, and my anxiety levels are way up there at the best of times. I defy you to do anything as stressful as driving from South London, through the city, and then through North London (or vice versa). I tell you, wrong as it is, I can see how somebody would get to the point that they thought "Fuck it - I'm not having that..." and got out of their car to confront another driver. It's terrifying that it can do that to you.
That roundabout at Hyde Park Corner is the biggest culprit for getting me worked up. The only roundabout I have ever come across where roundabout rules are turned completely upside down, if you want to turn right you need to be in the left lane etc etc, it's a fucking nightmare, and Christ you've gotta be quick if you ever want to get off it. I'm pretty sure that there is a small percentage of London cabbies who are employed to purely drive around Hyde Park Corner over and over again being as cunty and obstinate as humanly possible and beyond.
So I got home, thinking that watching "Extras" would wind me down a bit. I like "Extras" - particularly the Les Dennis episode from series one (same as everyone else - although it was slightly ruined for me by the fact that an ex-girlfriend of mine played Les' lady friend in the show so I spent a lot of it mumbling abusive obscenities at the screen). I didn't really get to watch tonight's episode properly because my video has decided to start playing up and keeps chewing tapes. I've had that VCR for just under two years and it cost a fucking fortune. I'm so fucked off, so am looking for something to do now that will reduce my levels of anxiety tonight. Playstation is running pretty high on the list at the minute. I thought that writing this may have a calming effect and I could let off steam but all it's served to do is remind me, so perhaps I should explore other avenues for cooling my head down. Afterall I don't want to come across as a moody twat...
It's too late for that isn't it?
Blown it again...
Great - the bulb has just gone in my office (spare room) - what the fuck is going on with the lightbulbs? I really should go - am getting close to throwing a fit and you don't want to see that.
Oh, before I forget, Emma (who runs EDComedy) said tonight that there was a lady at the quiz who had come because she read about it on here. I would have said hello but I don't know which one you were, so I wasn't being rude. Thankyou for coming x
