Due to the barge trip and having to travel straight to a wedding there after i have been without my computer for a whole week ( and mostly without my phone). Now due to my unemployed status and unhealthy addiction to a certain MMORPG, i spend a hell of allot of time in front of my little black box of tricks. It contains my music, my videos, and most importantly the internet, the most important technological advancement in my life time. To not have this for a week, was re-markable refreshing, dont get me wrong i am not about to run away and live in a cave, as you can tell as i am currently sitting at my computer smashing away at my keys as usual. But it did make me me long for the days when scoial networking consisted of a drink with your mates, and for that matter your friends where counted by the number of people who had seen you be sick, not in a number on face-book ( yes.. i hate social networking websites). i am beginnig to sound like out of those old people who say " Back in my day, we didnt have telephones, we got by with smoke signals, now those where the days" so dont misunderstand me i am not about to throw away my laptop, or phone , or psp and ds, however i might try not to be glue to it every five seconds. i might even give up WOW. Now that is crazy talk....
Ps: Anybody who read's the guardian will know i have nicked the "In Praise of...." idea form the comment pages, but who cares Im lazy

Barge, the review
When the idea of the anime society barge holiday was first thought of i am pretty sure i was drunk, also i am pretty sure i thought at the time it was an awesome but utterly ludicrous idea. which all in all seemed to be a good pre curser to the actual trip, drunk, awesome and ludicrous. I wont go into everything that happened, Mainly becuase i cant remeber much ( damn you vodka) and partly because what happens on the Barge STAYS ON THE BARGE, (i feel your pain rupert). Some of the more interesting moments include Matt falling in (sorry my fault) Mike launching him self off a barge to have a fight ( "mike performs Leaping attack") and Aaron piloting the barge the drunkest i have ever seen a man ( and then vomiting for 16 hours afterwards). I was plesantly suprised with the ammount of fun i had with the actauly boating stuff, the locks in particallar where good fun, but as matt pointed out to me it was probably to do with the fact we where dicking about. whislt we did venture out into the wider world the most fun was had in the nights on the barge, in particular ring of fire and semi naked Wednesdays as-well as the best 17 man version of "Got to catch them all" ever heard by man. I would certainly reccomend the trip to anybody who is interested in doing somthing a little different to the normal city break.
