    Things I Forgot to Tell You

    I've forgotten to share some things! 

    First things first - I passed my driving test!  I thought I'd failed before I'd even left the test centre... I think that helped because the rest of the test I thought "ah well, I've stuffed up there but I've already failed so never mind".  And I passed!  With six minors.  VERY pleased - even now, a month later!!!

    Second important thing - I passed that hideous math exam.  Scored a 79% which stunned the hell out of me seeing as I thought I'd done terribly.  I was 6 marks off a distinction!  So overall I got a Grade 2 Pass on the course.  Hoorah!  Obviously a distinction would have been WAY better but considering I thought I'd done seriously badly I can't be too disappointed.  I'll just revise harder on my next course is all...

    I think that's it on the important-things-I-forgot-to-tell you front.

    Lamb and Spinach Second (or third?) Time Round

    I've just had the most hideous food poisoning.  I am never EVER reheating left-over curry again.  In fact, I'm not going to even touch curry ever again.  I was up all of Sunday night and, I'm telling you, having curried lamb and spinach coming out of your nostrils just isn't pleasant at all.  Nope, that's curry off my list of foodstuffs.  In fact, I've kind of gone off meat full stop.  Though to be fair it was probably the rice that did it.  But, nope, I think it's a vege diet for me for a while.  Even the idea of meat makes my stomach turn.  I was still really ill yesterday but flew back to Belfast regardless.  Have you ever sat on a plane and someone farted?  And there's no where for that smell to go?  It's just the fart and the people all contained in this metal tube?  Well yesterday afternoon on Flybe flight BE494 there could have been a serious methane explosion.  Luckily I'd stopped being sick by the time boarding started but if it had been silent on the plane you'd have heard all sorts of gurglings and rumblings going on in my intestines.  It was like there was a party going on or something.  I sat for the entire flight trying not to drop one.  Because it would have been a killer.  The door to the flight deck had a gap at the top and it would have seeped through and put the pilots out cold.  I'm not kidding you.  And it'd have put out all the other people on the plane too and with someone being immune to their own stinkers, landing the plane would have been down to me!  It'd have been like something from a movie.  Only I'd have been arrested on landing for performing a biological attack.  So, to that end, I am never EVER eating meat, or reheated rice, ever EVER again.
