Well, what can I say, but what a fantastic start to 2009 and SMEG's 10th anniversary year! Sadly, the Sportsbar was closed, this completely threw us, as it is our usual first drinking spot on any night out, not a huge problem though, as we set off to the Garratt, which was definitely worth visiting as the barmaids were buxom and wonderful and was very nearly nursing a semi at one point while being served, lovely girls!

After a drink or two in The Salisbury, we made our way to Jilly's to get out of the freezing cold, I expected Manchester to be much busier, maybe everyone was staying home to stay out of the cold. No kiss at midnight, but still, teh music was good and the drinks were flowing, I was drinking plenty of water this time, which I knew I'd be glad of doing the day after.

I am typing this with what I think to be throat infection, almost certainly thanks to Alexis, thank you, also met a lovely blonde, whose name escapes me, but we have each others numbers anyway. Looking forward to going out again, I love that whole promiscuous stuff, realistically, I think Valentine's night (a Saturday) may be the next time I will be at Jilly's, let's hope more good things are to come for 2009!

Had a very strange dream this morning, I was in a bar in Amsterdam and was going to ask for absinthe, although I didn't, so I sat down and someone came and sat down on my right, it was no other than Marcus Brigstocke, without the glasses, I think I asked him if he was Dominic Brigstocke or Marcus, I get the two mixed up, one is a comedian, the other is a producer, I'm not sure if they're related, anyway, I think he was reading a paper and I was doing some studying of some sort.

New Year's Eve is drawing ever closer, may be going to Jilly's to see off 2008 and toast 2009, it will be a nice end to the year and the beginning of 2009, which for me, I think will be one of hard work, continuing my life-long quest for knowledge and taking care of the Five Year Plan! Ohhh shit yeah, I have an outstanding invoice which needs to be paid for my hosting, I mean come on, £60 a year, it's a bargain, especially since I can host multiple sites on it with different domains!

I've been working on another site lately and it has to be said it is looking pretty snazzy, so I may try and make this site a little more presentable in the coming weeks, I'll try and attract a larger demographic with some nice backgrounds, headers and shit. Safe safe!
