aww'right guv

Its been a while since my last post, so hopefully I remember everything.

Works been cool. Lots of day to day work to get through as well as a bunch of cool projects to design and implement. Theres enough brain-testing work to keep things very interesting. I've had more linux experience here than ever before. I like the fact that we're using a lot of technologies in combination with each other. Everyone at work are quite friendly and social, they often have drinks after work and so on. Good company!

Since the day at the Polo, we went and saw the London Aquarium.
It wasn't the best aquarium Ive seen, but it is always good to see cool sea creatures!
There were cool looking jellyfish, lots of the cast of Finding Nemo, turtles, piranha's stingrays and sharks!
The jellyfish were cool to see up close in the water. The stingrays where awesome!! They swam up to the surface to greet anyone who walked up and stuck their wings up out of the water as if to wave. Piranhas are kinda scary looking..they all just 'sit' and wait in the water... placid and calm with deadly patience. The turtles where super cute in their wicked enclosure. Sharks as always held me in awe for quite a while. All in all a good day out.

Since then we went to an event called The Church! Quite an experience.
Its a big building full of people drinking and dancing to rock music. We got there at about 12 mid day and lined up to get in. In the line you could buy beer coupons to turn in at the bar. Once in we got our beers and went to the massive dance floor and hung out for a bit.
In the rafters, there were camera men scanning the crowds like snipers. Every time they saw something interesting or weird looking, the images would appear on the big screens around the place with comments and jokes written in text underneath them.

The music went on for a while until the stage shows began. There were strippers and magicians and comedians.. all with music and dancing filled intervals. Everyone was in a good mood, there were no bad vibes or fights or anything like that.

At about 3pm, it finished up and we poured out onto the street. By 3, it felt like we'd been in a club all night, and coming out into the sunny afternoon was pretty crazy.
We had a kebab in true UK style and moved on to some bars for more drinks. By that stage I was pretty much ready to go home, so we did. Man I had such a headache by the time we got home! But the experience was a blast.

Going to the pub is a culture thing here and I've done it a lot. I will often get lunch or dinner or drinks or any or all of the above!

I've been going out a lot and havent found any time to catch up on games or tv shows yet. Perhaps things will quieten down at some point.
