h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, it's been a fun weekend if nothing else

I'll get the bad stuff over first - Birmingham lost 0-3 away at Chelsea. Outplayed by the sounds of it - boo! Come on Brummagem - get a grip!

Aside from that it's been great. I went along to watch Notts County play Mansfield Town in my football reporter role for University Radio Nottingham (URN - 1350MW in the west Nottingham area - miss it, miss out!). It was an absolute ding-dong, finishing 2-2 with Mansfield equalising with what was almost the last kick. Their fans went absolutely bezerk, and although I was pretty neutral it always brings a joy to my heart to see fans celebrating a goal so passionately (unless it's against Birmingham, in which case they're ! Nor for that matter do I celebrate Aston Villa getting a goal, because of the rivalry between Brum and them!).

I went out into town with a friend last night and we enjoyed a chat and a few drinks - nothing spectacular but I had a great night

One point to add is that if there are any people reading from Trent and Barton buses in Nottingham - put more buses on the 5 service after midnight - we waited for ages in the cold to get a bus back from town last night! Thank you.

Today I've done some uni work, played on my PlayStation, and done a bit of reading. Some of that was to do with my favourite hobby of photography. I'm in desperate need of a tripod up here in Nottingham at the moment. This is because I am trying to photograph things mainly under low light in my garden, and I can't hold the camera still for long enough to take a good exposure . I have a tripod back at home but that's not much use to me 65 miles away as it is! I also want a star filter to take some nice Christmas light photos . A trip to Jessops is in order this week methinks! Talking of Christmas, is it really ONLY 6 weeks or so away? You'd think from the amount of TV adverts it's next week! I'll have to try and find out when the uni carol concert is, as I missed it last year because of work, and I'd like to see if my singing voice is still as awful as ever !

A busy week awaits - I hope it goes smoothly!
