Faffing around in the desert

After a stressful start to the week, Captain Rich suggested a night out at the cinema. One of his fav books had been made into a film and he was excited like a small child opening presents on Christmas morning. Of course, he arranges it on Wednesday night, meeting at 8ish in Leamington. As you may or may not know, I have football on Wednesday nights starting at 6pm - so I was grinning ear to ear when I thought I could do both - and still have some time for food. Needless to say, the little scroats that play after us, didnt turn up - so we had the pitch for as long as we fancied - well technically til everyone dropped down due to leg failure. We managed to play for 90 mins when people just hoofed the ball around, so we give up the ghost there. Having managed to get a lift to the station, I managed to get the energy back to jog up to my gaff (5 min jog), quick shower, then run into town to meet the princess, the wolf and captain desert storm. Of course I turn up to the cinema sweating like a sweaty thing and my lungs about to collapse (not collapsed lung - thats a band - silly).
Anyhooo, 5 gallons of diet pepsi and a vat of sweet popcorn later - we're in the darkness watching trailers for;
  • starwars III (looks good)
  • war of the worlds (looks good)
  • Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (looks fab)
Anyhoo, the movie we went to see was Sahara - excellent film - one of them you could watch again and again, much to Rich's delight, coz he thought we were gonna hate it.
After the movie, we ended up around the corner for a quick pint of Stella, and ended up in Kelsey's til 1am after a couple more. Nice! All in all, a relaxing fantastic night - just what the Doctor (not Who) ordered for a crap week
