Box of Chocolates

I was thinking the other day. You never know what I'm gunna be blogging about next (i.e. you never know what's going to happen in life next). And, well, I defiantly didn't guess I'd be blogging about this.... We're about to go on a journey.

Ok, firstly a funny part! Yeah! after talking to Jon and Gecko (pronounced "Gecko" with a hard "G") at my window at like 10:30 at night, I settled down to my usual episode of family guy whilst falling to sleep. Anyway, that wasn't the case this night. 15mins into the episode I get disturbed by flash photography coming from my window!! Who's taking pictures of my window!? I march out of bed and investigate only to discover this addition to my "Hey!" sign:

Oh great one! I'm stood at the window in my PJ's and Jon and Gecko come laughing round the corner taking pictures. I've left the sign up, it's been up a few days now and still hasn't fallen off even in the rain!


Don't forget, this is the same Jon and Gecko that threw this snowball at my window:

And this is the sort of people Jon hangs out with (Jon's in the middle):

If I saw that guy at a club I would move fast. I certainly wouldn't pose with him in pictures and rub up against him. I don't know

Phil came up to see me today! He had a job in Cardiff! It was good to see him.

I've been leaving you too long lately, I've totally forgotten what I was going to tell you about. Ok here's an obvious one... But a bit serious:

I went up to the union today because they were giving out free Rustlers (disgusting, I know, but very free). I came back and there was some scally girl stood outside our front door. Automatically I said "alright" (don't know why I do that). She asked me for a lighter (hah). I let myself into the flat, went into my room, then kept going back to look out of the peep hole to see what she was up to. She had gone.

I walked towards the kitchen when the kitchen door opens and some big man came walking out towards me! Naturally, the first thing I think to do is to beat him up with my ninja cunning. He really didn't look like a friend of the flat, but I thought there's always the chance, what can I say. I said "Alright" he acknowledged me back and said "this is a fucking joke" under his breath. Still walking towards me, I thought he really shouldn't be in here.

He walks past me and straight out the front door. I start knocking around the bedrooms to find that no-one else was in. I go to the kitchen to find the small kitchen window above the sink wide open and our microwave soap plate knocked over. The wanker broke in! He would've been in all of our bedrooms if I hadn't've disturbed him! His scally friend must've ran round to warn him!

After about 5 mins of fussing around, I call security. They were good! Considering they usually take half an hour to respond to a fire alarm, they were straight out in dozens! Running round, cameras rolling. 5 minutes later me and Julie look out his window to see the guy being pinned down by security! They got him! I called security to tell 'em they had the right guy! (They wanted me to go out and tell them personally! No way! I don't want him knowing who I am). Anyway, it was all sorted. I had to give a statement to the police etc, and they said I might have to go to court! Shit! Apparently he's done stuff before so I got a good catch. Man, I don't wanna go to court! He'll come and get me! He knows where I live!

Technically, I can say it's over. But in the back of my mind I know it might not be. Ah well, I suppose I'm as likely to get killed by a car I suppose. Anyway, things could've gone so much worse today. Not worth thinking about. But I'm fine and I'm blogging. I'll go out and play pool again tonight.

Moral of the story: lock your windows if you live on the ground floor. Even if they're only tiny above the sink.

I really can't think of what else I had to say so I'll speak to you later.
laaaaaaaaattttttttteeeeeeeee

  1. Haha! (It's Kelly from Computer Science)

    They came round (Jon and Gecko) to come and tell me about your window (I live in G1, by the way!) and I couldn't help but have a giggle, as I've always walked past your "Hey!" and wondered who it was. When they said "Look what we've done to Rich's window.." I HAD to take a look.

    Just be thankful Gecko's flatmates didn't blue-gloss your window or something (like they've done to Jon's window).

    And that burglar thing is so weird. I walked out of my flat to go to the Laundry and Residence Office to collect post, and I see this guy looking pretty dazed and confused near the bins in the Courtyard with shit loads of security surrounding him... I thought he'd passed out or something, but when I saw the police woman (instead of, say.. an ambulance?) and a lady from the Residence Office saying "he climbed through the tiny window" I thought "Shiiiiitttt" and "Thank fuck it wasn't my house."

    You haven't seen my room, though... You can barely get in. I'm a bit messy. And I have (literally) an ARMY of coke cans just waiting to piss an intruder right off.
