Ladies and gents I am officially spent! So much so in fact that I am truly considering missing the game tonight which as a pleasant change starts at the far more reasonable time of 00:00am… Oh, and to think that it is only Sunday (the equivalent of Monday for you Western folk) and that I have a further 4 days to go in the working week, this really isn’t a good position to be in. In fact, I was even toying with the idea of blogging tomorrow instead of today, but the thought of the masses thirsting restlessly for their fix of ‘Englishman in Dubai’ was just too much for my poor little heart to live with. You know I would never do that and although I have no idea how many people actually follow this blog I must admit that I do feel some degree of responsibility in ensuring that it is sent out, short or long interesting or nominal, funny or foul. Well at least until the end of this month otherwise that would be a pretty failed new year’s resolution even by my standards.
So whilst the majority of you folk were fast asleep enjoying your Sunday lay in, yours truly was getting set to attend the Inter-Sec exhibition at the World Trade centre. If it sounds rather glamorous rest assured it is not. Though, I am looking forward to the motor and yacht shows whenever they might be. Yes people this was an industry exhibition and although the security industry is renowned for being very dynamic and futuristic, there wasn't too much to get my knickers in a twist about. Having said that there was a very cool 2 seat city-copter (kind of like a helicopter but much smaller, more like a micro light) the kind of thing that every red blooded man would remortgage the house, sell the wives gold and raid the children’s trust fund for J And there was a pretty smart technology which worked rather like a car key fob allowing access control within a building as long as you had the fob on yourself. The German chap who was exhibiting the technology was rather eccentric which I think added to the excitement of the experience. Oh, and there was a briefcase that looked like a normal briefcase until the portly gentleman (who wore a smirk that read, ‘I might be large but I’m a bad mamma jamma’) pressed a button and it turned into a high voltage briefcase, powerful enough no doubt to wet the pants of the individual foolish enough to try and wrestle it from its owner!
By the way I have a bit of an insect problem in my apartment, well actually more like an ant problem and their not big just small ones but they are starting to get on my nerves now. In fact I had to get up on two occasions last night to check my pants after feeling that creepy crawly feeling.
Anyway, back to inter-sec and apart from the odd gadget it was a rather disappointing first day, but rumor has it that these events tend to get better by the 2nd and 3rd days. It was however made all the more interesting by the presence of two gentlemen who will be referred to as Marty and Eddy the Dutch boys. Though, neither is actually Dutch they are just based in the orange country. In fact it was rather interesting to meet them finally after a couple weeks of talking to them over Skype it was good to put a face to a name.
Right it is 23:19 and the game kicks off in about 40 minutes, shall I stay or shall I go??? Well last night although I was in bed at 11pm I am sure I didn’t dose off till about 1am at the earliest, so I guess it makes sense to just head out and watch the game… As if it needs to make sense J viva Barca!
Right back in the Midnight boys and girls, best decision I have made all day! It be heaving up in here and I just walked into the ever welcome scene of Jose what’s his name with his head in his hands Almeria 1-1 Madrid J your s**t and you know you are! Trying to remain patient we have just kicked off at home to Malaga and as per Chixy’s instructions I am not going to get excited until all 3 points are in le bag!!! Ohhhhh wait for it INIESTA YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deep, breaths hooo hooo hooo. 2-0 baby! David Villa, right this obviously isn’t happening anymore I did try but the Blaugrana really do need my full attention looks like we could be in for another 4 or 5 goals at this rate…
Until next time,
