I would feel sorry for her if she'd genuinely tried, but she seemingly hadn't bothered to prepare in the least. It said in the Metro she did four training runs then gave up, because they were "too boring". A typical marathon training schedule involves running 30+ miles a week for months. She planned to walk around and didn't even manage that. When she was last logged by the magical mats outside Canary Wharf at four-and-a-half hours, my mum (twice her age) was 8 miles ahead on the Embankment. |

I read that she prepared for the marathon on a diet of "Chinese take-away, curry and beer." hehe.
She jogged the first 8 miles, walked the next ten, then collapsed and paramedics had to wheel her off as she gasped "I'm dying, I'm dying!"

So, Metroid Prime Hunters is coming out today, I know what I need to do when I finish working today.
Man I've seen some bad movies while I've been here, we've watched most of the movies that the local Vue has had and those movies include: Alien Autopsy, Scary Movie 4, Failure to Launch (before going to the theater, I had no idea what this one was about, but if I'd known that it's a Sarah Jessica Parker&Matthew Mccauggahneneyyhey movie, I would've definitely passed this one...), American Dreamz, Silent Hill and 16 Blocks... I did like 16 Blocks a bit though. EDIT: Oh yeah and I did also see Tristan + Isolde, and during last weekend we saw Mission Impossible 3 and some british comedy called Confetti. So one can say that we have seen a lot of movies during our time here.

This is starting to fell like my own blog, but yesterday I went Southampton, a nice city. Clearly a lot bigger than Basingstoke, 2x times bigger to be exact. I got Southampton FC's official kit for £10, wth man?!
Oh, still a few days before Da Vinci Code comes out, I can't wait to see it. Still 11 days to go before it's time to go back and leave England behind. I don't want to leave, but there's some much fun stuff to do in Finland immediately when I go back that I guess I'll manage. I have to do lots and lots of travelling every day now, no time to waste!

Newcastle? Traitor! Why the hell would you want a barcode shirt? Get a Sunderland one, they're quality, and people will admire and respect you more for it. As for a Fulham shirt, you could try one of the big sports shops here in London, some of them stock all the premier strips.

Thanks for the help, I'll try to find a Fulham shirt tomorrow as I will be going to London, they at least used to have those at Lillywhites, but last time I asked them, they were out of stock or something like that...
