Darwinism in motion

Just one of life's little mortifications…

In my other life, as a grown-up with a real job and bills and stuff, I was sent to Busch Gardens to be one of the first people to try Cheetah Hunt, their new roller coaster.

What I didn't know was I was going to be mic'd up, and reaction cam-ed the whole time.

The best bit, the lack-lustre cheers at the start of the film. Or maybe the comments a random YouTube user added to the video saying that I looked like a 'peado'.

*Edit* The video now has three 'dislikes'.

Watch it below and see for yourself. A little part of me dies every time I see it.

*Edit* Edited to include a screen grab of said comment…

Just one of life's little mortifications…

Found that the Medieval Banquet in Tower Hill doesn't lock their props cupboard.

Found this out after quaffing their unlimited beer and wine deal.

More on this night to come…

Went to the Medieval Banquet. Got drunk. Got thrown out.

I went to the Medieval Banquet in Tower Hill on Sunday.

I'd love to say i went because I adore culture and live theatre, but the main reason is that my friend Tiina is an acrobat there so got us some cheap tickets.

She can get into tighter spaces than a daddy-long-legs. Her boyfriend is a lucky man.

The idea behind is is that you get a meal, a live theatre show, some music, and most importantly - free beer and wine - in an actual real-life medieval banquet hall in Tower Bridge.

This is Tiina. God knows how she does it. I tried to do a forward roll once and got travel sick…

It's an excellent night, but for the price - £49.95 for an adult (don't worry, we paid nowhere near this…) you'd expect far less bland food and you're wine to not be watered down.

Luckily, they more than made up for it by forgetting to lock the props cupboard, as evidenced below. Evening ended with us being asked to return our bodices, or kindly leave.

The free bar had closed, so I of course choose the latter.

**Edit** A special thank you to my friend Chris from http://www.petographer.co.uk for taking all the photos and for letting me upload them. This is him below…

Stuff wot I baked: apricot almond cakes

Delish!

Pixie Lott likes my nail varnish

Interviewed pop princess Pixie Lott today.

Not only was she surprisingly nice, she grabbed my hand and said 'OMG - I LOVE your nail varnish. How did you do it?'.

My ego wouldn't allow me to take a photo miss Lott. I just took a photo of my own hand instead.

*Edit* It was Barry M's crackle effect nail varnish, for the record. Incase you want to buy some for Pixie when you see her next.
