blimmin brits

Ok, so the british crowd who turned up last night, have  I mentioned them yet? They arrived yesterday I think, seemingly from nowhere, actually a lot of people arrived yesterday, it's rammed here.  But anyway,  they seem to have an uncanny ability to chase people away from places. Last night they chased Irish man away from the table next to me (I heard him mutter something about going to talk to someone) and then I eventually left because listening to their conversation was getting boring. Then later I woke up to the room next to me being unlocked noisily, and then afterwards I could hear from somewhere else in the courtyard someone distinctly british having very noisy sex. Oh yes, yes yes yes, etc.  Anyway, when I came back from town earlier I sat in the sofa area, on one of the chairs next to  the nice sofa because this geeky american kid was on the sofa. Then when he went off to get something later I stole the comfy sofa so I could stretch out and watch Supernatural (sadly only one episode remained from what I'd managed to download, the b&w one, heh heh). And anyway, he came back and we exchanged a few vaguely humourous words about the seating arrangements. So he sat on the chair this time. Then a while ago the brits  started arriving, there really are tons of them. The geeky american left his laptop next to me (presumably to order food) and when he came back all seats were taken, so he took his stuff and disappeared. After hearing some rather annoying sex talk, I think initiated by a large girl complaining about her virginity, I decided it was time for me to move also.  But the only table with plug sockets free was the one that geeky american (Chris) was sat at, so we once again exchanged a few vaguely humourous words about getting rather crowded, etc, and then a few more on what we were doing here, or what he was doing here mainly. Shame it couldn't have been someone more interesting, but never mind. He's going to work on some water program or something, so he's here learning a laguage (one of the ugandan ones) beforehand. Now he's sat opposite me eating chips, it feels ever so slightly awkward, like I should probably say something. Bless his geeky soul.

Oh god I really need some decent entertainment. Or friends. Possibly both. I fished a fly out of my wine last night and then spent a good half hour sporadically watching it drunkenly wander around the straw wrapper I had used to rescue it with, frequently cleaning itself but with that slightly drunken air that you see in people who don't really realise they are drunk. Except it wasn't a person, it was a fly. *sigh* see what I mean?

Anyway, my laptop is behaving weird, it has gotten very hot with all this use. I'm gonna watch the Boat that Rocked now I think. Groovy.
