All stress levels are on high alert as work gets tough as we started the process of moving into our new factory. I think my hangover on Sunday didn't help the stress as it was the worst I have ever felt, meaning it has lasted me a few days and destroyed my throat.
I managed to watch an average film named 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'. One highlight of the film being Gretel, who was stunning, Gemma Arterton her name, see below:
The premise behind the film is that Gretel and her brother 'Hansel' (must be said in a stern German accent), lost their parents when they were young, got tortured by a Witch who found them in a Candy house. They kill the witch then make it their life time dream to hunt other witches. Very believeable. Some of the dreams I have are more believable and thats saying something when I often get chased by a large tiger for ages and through numerous dreams.
Pompeii
In a way this section does represent the ancient city which got overhauled by some lava but it is mainly about the band I went to see on Sunday night. They are called Bastille, and yes I do constantly rave about them. That's because they're good. Pompeii is the name of their chart topping (well number 2 at the current time) single they released a few weeks ago. Their album is currently number 1 in the UK's album chart. Quite impressive for a fairly new band starting out onto a path of success (or more likely a path of a second album which will inevitably flop, The Kooks, The Fratelli's, to name a few who have taken this path). They were impressive and the audience loved them, all apart from one of my friends who had to leave mid-gig as they couldn't stop being sick through their alcohol intake the previous night. It also took 2 hours to get home due to the 'Icing Ring' that was the M1. See another one of their hits below, named: The Things We Lost in the Fire:
Stumble
You may think this would be a story relating to a drunken exploit which ended in a 'Stumble'. You would be incorrect. It is about a website that everyone should join upto which I found out about a few months ago called Stumble Upon (www.stumbleupon.com). Basically, you tell the website what your interests are then you press stumble. It will bring a wide variety of websites up and some of them are hilarious. Below is a clip from the Sesame Street, not that funny but I just enjoyed it.
Having looked back at the choice above, there are many more interesting and funny items which turn up, the best are the gifs.
Yankee's
Yankee's is on Ecclesall road in Sheffield and is basically a poor man's Uncle Sams. On Saturday night we turned up to Uncle Sams with ten of us only for it to be booked up so we headed to Yankee's. The meal was extremely nice (Burger and Chips) and so was the company. After the meal we decided to have a 'few' drinks. This inevitably ended up at the Leadmill until 4am. From what I remember it was a great night, it always is when you go to Leadmill. I enjoyed being reminded of seeing an old firned in the morning, this was the first I knew. Ah, alcohol, we wouldn't live without it.
Quote of the Week
"Even if you never know it, each and every kind act affects someone, your small act of kindness might be the one small thing that keeps another holding on."
