Goodbye
Well that's it now - I'll be off in a couple of days...I had my leaving drinks over the weekend and would like to say that it was really nice to see everyone - I am lucky to have such good friends and I will miss you while I am away. If people are able to stay in touch with me while I'm out of the country I will be very grateful.
I would also like to say a massive thank you to everyone in Ireland who contributed to my fund. I really didn't expect anything - so I am really overwhelmed by your generosity.
People keep asking me if I'm worried about my trip - well, I've been more excited than anything but now that it is getting closer I guess it's fair to say that I'm a little bit apprehensive...not really about anything in particular - I just have this weird feeling at the back of my mind (where I fell off my bike) that there is something that I should be concerned about - it is probably because everyone keeps bloody asking me!
Anyway, I was reading this website that was supposed to have tips on getting over jet lag...on it was a list of jet lag symptoms - there were over 20 items - and it was supposed to be partial! Anyway it all seemed like bull to me cos 2 of the items were "constipation" and "diarrhea". Well, I'm no medical expert but I don't think it's possible to have both of those at the same time! Or if you did - wouldn't they cancel each other out? Another item on the list was "insomniainsecurity" - that's not even a word! And listen to this quote from the bottom of the page: "Jetlag is not psychological; it is cycle logical." Oh right, well that's that one solved then!
You may have noticed that I've added a link to the Ricky Gervais website - there's some very good stuff on there but just in case you're too lazy to browse it yourself, I would recommend the interview with Chris Martin (there are some other very good videos on there as well - the Chris Martin one is the only one that seems to have been censored...I wonder how offensive it was beforehand), the Guardian podcasts (of which there will be 12 - one a week) and the xfm radio downloads.
I've just noticed that the Guardian have taken down links to the first couple of episodes. Here they are 1 2.
Hopefully see you all soon(ish).

I listened to the first episode of the Ricky Gervais podcast yesterday whilst I was driving home from work. Oh man that was so funny. When they were talking about the monkey flying the space capsule I nearly crashed.
