Friday 14feb: five for a fiver

Disappointing night last night as went to Just the Tonic (formally Jongluers) for the Five for. Fiver Commedy night ascpart of the Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival. Very disappointing got seat near the stage but for some reason while everybody else was laughing I couldn't hear the jokes and kept missing thebpunchlines! Event was supposed to finish ay at 11pm but second act only finished at 10.30. At that pointbi left in orde to catch the last bus home.  First event I've attended that has been a flop 😢!

Rugby Merit Wrong Name, Judo, Knee, Braunstone Park Fireworks Thursday 04 November 2010

 Nat came home from school with a merit for his rugby prowess at school. It was only later, when he was at boxing, that i took a closer look and discovered he'd brought home the wrong one. Someone else's parent, no doubt, discovered that their son was now named Nathaniel. Nat's knee was stiil causing him pain, a visit to the doctors diagnosed a bruised kneecap and was was ordered to refrain from rugby and judo for a few weeks to allow it to heal. So instead of judo we went to see the fireworks.

Here's a pictorial and video blog of Hannah, Nat and My trip (Deb was poorly) to see this year's Braunstone Town fireworks display which were held in Braunstone Park. Threre's not much to say as it was too noise to speak and we didn't meet anyone or see anything of note so let the pics and vids speak for themselves. Just one thing, the firework display didn't last very long it was all over in ten minutes!
Whoops!!! I nearly forgot; we did played a game of  
"Spot The Not A Teenage Mum" 
on the way out. Everytime we saw a pram we checked to see if the girl pushing it was old enough to have left school...most weren't it's that sort of area!

Sunday at the Leicester Mela, Apple, iPhone

Today I went to the Mella in the centre town which is a big Indian festival in Leicester which is were I live. While we (we being me and my family) were there we got some free gingerbread men, a bag, a glass of Rubicon, an Ice poll, two Frisbees,  some biscuits, a balloon and a whistle that's right a whistle a free whistle and to make it better it was on a lanyard a whistle on a lanyard for free how amazing. Also when we were in town I went into Men Kind and Red 5 which are gadget shops that sell things that I like E.G. water guns, robots, jokey things and other novelties while I was in there my dad was in the Apple store and I joined him later to have a look at the signal drop on the iPhone 4. When you hold it in your left hand the signal drops off dramatically, as the antenna gets covered by your skin. This is a serious design flaw but you can always buy a Apple certified case. These were £40!!!! but Apple has finally bowed to pressure and made the available free of charge. I know something free from Apple; I fainted too!!!!!!!!!! Mind you, they only did this after first saying that this happens to all smart phones! Totally Bogus; Damn You Apple!
