Weekend

Friday night I was straight home on the bike. My new bike is great - thanks for asking! It's a larger frame so it is easier for me to haul my carcass around the streets of Edinburgh.

I watched the film - The Firm - on Friday night. I quite enjoyed it - groups of football hooligans knocking lumps out of each other all the while speaking in unrecognisable east London slang.

I still don't know what the following phrases mean (all of them were used in a derisory manner);

Dry Lunch
Ice Cream
Strawberry Mivvi
Melt

I liked Dom's relationship with his mum and dad too - that was pretty funny.

On Saturday morning, me and wor burd went round some of Edinburgh's buildings on their Doors Open Day. We started at Starbucks (!) and then went to Drumsheugh Baths where I used to go as a kid, Drumsheugh Toll, The French Institute and St Bernard's Well.

All of the places were very interesting.

We then cycled along the Water of Leith Walkway and through Stockbridge and Inverleith to Goldenacre where I was due to take on the filthy Nails.

I had a foul dirt in the Nails bogs and then we went out and put their previously unbeaten 2nd XV to the sword, 16-15.

Unfortunately, our 1st XV got beaten by the dirty filthy nails and it was frustrating to watch at times.

Nonetheless, it was a nice day to watch rugby and shoot the breeze with friends, family, team mates etc.

Me and the lass then cycled home through Inverleith Park and I decided to have some pals round for beers, rum and spaghetti bolognaise before heading to Potterrow.

Potterrow is one of the University of Edinburgh's student unions. I graduated from Edinburgh in 2002 and I am now 30 years old so I felt a bit old but it was good fun.

The funniest thing was seeing a certain young prop forward at the rugby club who was dressed to the nines in his g-star jeans and designer t-shirt, trying to impress the young girls but instead falling down the stairs on his way out.

However, it was revealed that the same young prop forward managed to lure a girl nicknamed the 'Honey Monster' back to his flat. Even funnier though, was the fact that he shagged her bareback in the Dancing Bear's bed!

Good work all round.
