I kid you not, this did really happen just now.
I was coming back from Cambridge this evening by train. When the anime movie I was watching on my laptop ended, I swapped to watching a couple of cartoons to fill in the remaining time.
At around that point, a couple of chavs and a chavette had boarded the train, and were sat in the aisle over from me. When they noticed the cartoons, they asked if I minded if they watched too. So, I unplugged my headphones and twisted the laptop around a bit.
After a couple of episodes, the chavs proved that perhaps their stereotype's reputation for rudeness and hostility isn't always deserved... by offering me a toke on their crack-pipe after they'd smoked some.

They got off a couple of stops later, and the rest of my journey was uneventful.
Cambridge was nice.. I randomly ended up at a nice party (and in addition to seeing the usual suspect, also bumped into
feanelwa and
karohemd) on the friday night, and then after the appalling early (7am) start on Saturday, had some great games at the TeamSpleen/JagEx all-day outdoor airsoft event.
I'm now predictably knackered, and am trying to get up enough motivation to go to Kira's leaving party, which kicks off at 11pm in a strip club they've hired for the night. (Without the strippers, I believe). (The temptation to have a quick nap is unbelievable though..)
I had been thinking of dropping into Helen & Aaron's party a bit later in the night, as discussed with some people who'd asked if I was going.. However upon actually attempting to check out the details tonight, I realised that I'm not actually invited. So I won't be seeing you there tonight after all.
It's probably better if I don't stay up all night anyway..
(And yes, of course I declined the crack!)
