Getting Personal
I was at a friend's over the weekend and we got to talking about our blogs. He said he still read this site, but missed my "personal entries" and I had to agree. It's taken a conscious effort to make this blog almost entirely technical. Now I'm not sure there's enough of me in it. Maybe I need a shift in the balance?
The friend I was talking to has recently become the second of my "real" friends to start blogging, over at First Timers. The other just happens to be his brother, Watski, who I've linked to before.
Anyway, "Young Watski" (I have no idea why they insist on using pseudonyms) asked if I'd seen Watksi's latest entry. Boy was I in for a shock. It's one of the many tales from my past that I'd all but managed to forget.
It all dates back to the days when the two Watski's, a guy called Pete and I went about calling ourselves "The Boys on Tour". We even owned boysontour.co.uk and told our many drunken tales on there. The site died years ago and I thought the embarrassing stories had gone with it. Just goes to show it's not always a good things when "friends" start blogging.
I'll leave you with one of the less offensive photos that Watski threatened to share. I've just come round after losing another game of cards and I'm covered in mascara and sun lotion. The photo is taken from the balcony of the girls in the story:

Can't remember exactly, but it was just the four letters.
you should have stuck with BOT and Tuck Shop Jake, things may have turned out a little differently mind you ;-)
I found a copy of the original Codestore for the client on zip disk the weekend, arr the good old days!
Hey Phil. Volvo? Are they the only employer over in Sweden? Good to see you found a job though and it isn't with Ikea! See you in a few months.
Wow. I've allways wondered how you Englishmen manage it?
Foto looks like being taken in morning and you look as if you allready have infused your stomach 4 or 5 liters.
Yeah keep the "Personal" posts coming, I like em!!!
Having read Watski's account, and muffling my laughter, I am now trying quickly to dab away the tears. That was hilarious. Naughty but hilarious. I don't think we would have done that as lads... we were more apt to do really abstract and, frankly, inane things like videoing the death of a banana to a back drop of Led Zepplin (boots on newspaper and one poor banana - pointless but for some reason it seemed really funny at the time).
Not sure what that says about American lads vs. Brits... we're all a bit insane I guess is the sum.
Dang, nothing useful in the Wayback Machine :) {Link}
