*Baywatch Theme*
I know, I know, its been a whole week since I updated. Well, in my defence, I WAS FRIGGIN KNACKERED ALL WEEKEND. And ive been at work since…more or less…



Well last week was good. On Thursday I went to see Jimmy Carr, a comedian, up London with my friend Paddy who I haven’t seen in ages. ^^ I didn’t really get the chance to speak with Paddy much as I got up London late, and he practically had to leave as soon as the show was over, but we managed to catch up a little bit. The show was hilarious though, me and Paddy LOVE Jimmy Carr. ^^ it’s a real sharp almost acidic humour, very very dry and deadpan. Great stuff. Not for the easily offended.

On the weekend I did the second part of my Life Guard course, and I finished it and PASSED! ^^ so now I am fully qualified to go anywhere in America and say “I'm a trained Life Guard, may I help you?” ^^ it was hard work, but a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself.

I also took some pictures of Crystal Palace for you guys. Just to give you a vague idea of what it’s all about.

Right, before you even GET to Crystal Palace Park, you know where it is cuz there’s this HUGE broadcasting tower that can be seen from miles away…

destroying this tower would effectively cripple analogue tv broadcasts…it’s a good job we have digital tv as well then…

Its pretty impressive, especially on a clear day…

The main part of Crystal Palace is the sports complex…

its quite an old building, but its facilities are top notch, if a little grubby and unkempt. ^^;

On the left side is the big basketball court/gymnasium and on the right is the Olympic sized swimming pool and diving pool. There are also training pools and Squash Courts and more besides.

I like this building. I don’t know why, cuz its so dated and dirty.

this is the bridge/walkway you have to use to access most of the facilities

a go kart track…the go karts are pretty pitiful though

someone had left the door to the gymnasium open, so I snuck in and took a picture.

This is the gymnasium inside the complex. I couldn’t get a picture of the pool cuz people were using it and I would have had to get EVERYONE’S permission to take and post the pics…it wasn’t worth the hassle. I didn’t wanna risk taking a sneak shot either. Needless to say, its VERY big.

big and pointless most of the time

The Crystal Palace Stadium, opposite the Sports Centre.

ya big nancies…

A game of American football was going on at the time… we brits have a game called “Rugby” which is like American Football, only without the body armour and stopping every five seconds…

on those stone arches imagine a HUGE greenhouse…that what the original Crystal Palace would have looked like…

A little way up from the sports complex is the site of the original Crystal Palace…its very big…

there isn’t anything on the site now…its just grass and gravel

The main steps leading up to the Palace…if it were still there. The concrete arch-way like foundations run for about 500 metres, maybe even more…possibly up to a kilometre. Needless to say, it would have been hella impressive in its heyday.

That’s all the pics I got for ya. There were a whole bunch more I could have possibly taken, but I'm probably the only one who would have found them interesting. I'm talking like pictures of car parks and driveways and the Lodge (a big mangy hotel type building near the sports centre) and stuff here. ^^;;;

Anyway, I had fun there, even if the commute was a bitch and the course was hard work. ^^

Anyways, I have removed my finger from wherever it was stuck and have done some arty art for y’all. The first is viewable on my deviantart page and is viewable here:

Super Darke One Shot Art Trade

The second is a comic I thought up at work. Here it is, it’s been a while, no? Enjoy!


seriously, if Chibi Rose stands at about 3 inches tall, how friggin small is that sheep?


Heh heh. ^^;;; Nursery Rhymes are filthy dirty perverted pieces of literature. This is one of the cleaner ones I could parody. ^^

We’re having a fireplace installed (the chimney is already there, I'm talking more of a mantelpiece…) today…its gonna be dirty and noisy and possibly interfere with my net connection…ah well.



See ya round folks…hopefully before next Wednesday!!


Jeez, is it May already? Where the HELL did the year go?
