Smokin'!

Had one of those 'It'll never happen to me' type moments whilst watching telly earlier this evening alone in the lounge. Just sat there happily flicking through the music channels, seeing whats on, the rest of the lads all working away. And then the picture on the screen starts to retreat away from the edges, and seemed to crumple. At the same time crackles emanate from the TV. I rush off the sofa and see plumes of smoke rising from the TV. It was rather a shock.
The thing is now in the garage and Jav's TV is now in the lounge (yay!). There are now 2 broken TVs in the garage, the first having conked out back in June. Clearly this house is cursed.
And the place is nearly always a tip. There are bags and bags of rubbish lying in the kitchen, the bathroom is gross and my room is so small it gets grotty in double quick time.
Humph :(
Its rained sooo much over the last few days, even with this being Manchester. Outside the union it washed away some of the tarmac so that the cobbles are showing :) Last Sunday on a hike up Scafel Pike in the Lakes, I got absolutely soaked to the bone and caught a cold as a result :(. Its not been great.
I'm faced with a dilemma. To beard or not to beard. I can't decide!
Had a masquerade party last Friday. Was great, although hardly anyone esle was wearing one, so I looked a bit of a goon. And then at the end of the night, a girl stole my mask (well actually I gave it to her). Wish I hadn't now, I had become quite attatched.
Time for beddies methinks
