Holy Cow batman, my updating has been pitiful. I have been back since Feb 6. I know everyone was dying to hear about england, sorry
So I spent 18 days there, with my mates in Bristol. Weather wasnt as cold as last year so that was nice. The flight sucked. I flew Virgin cause last year it was one of the most enjoyable flights i have ever been on. This year was the polar opposite. I could have flown American for probably 200 less and been just as miserable. Angry letters are being written to Richard Branson and any one else that matters. Seriously both ways were awful.
The hilite of the trip of course was Manchester United. Saw five games this year. 3 home matches...ALL WINS, an away match at Wolverhampton...ALSO A WIN, and finally and away match at Blackburn....ALMOST A WIN. lol. We played so poorly that day. Horrible lineup and even worse defense. I also got to see a Bristol City game which is a league 1 team. Way down from Premiership level. I swear I had seen the sport somewhere else then I rememembered ah yes, Ping Pong. Still a good experience.
This year I tried to do a little more tourist crap, so we spent a day going to London. Walked by everything I wanted to see, bought some tourist crap including a kick ass shirt that says FUCK THE GAP with the underground logo. So cool. Of course everything i bought was for the girl.
We also went to stonehenge which has always been one of my life dreams. I cant believe you cant walk into the circle anymore or touch the rocks, but still it was magical. What an experience.
Of course i drank more ale and lager than is safer for one's liver, but boy was it worth it. The 9 of us driving back from a game decided to call me girlfriend and sing every United Song we could think of. Good drunken fun let me tell you. Also anybody who loves a curry needs to have it in England. I could seriously eat indian food every night.
Thats about it. Really just about visiting friends and watching football.
