I really like public transport but I hate all the people I have to share it with.
Because of my inability to grow up/manage my life so I'm not awake at 2am/wake up earlier that 8.15am I always have to catch the tube with all the people. If I was a better person I could go to work at like 7am when all the other failures were still in bed then I would not have to push people out of my way/stand so close to strangers/sweat so much before 9am.
Also then I would get to leave work at like 4pm which is infinitely better than 6pm. I am going to work on this.
Also, I hate people who start to stand up WAY before it's necessary because they're afraid they're gonna like get stuck on the train or something. People do this on the buses in Wellington too. There is plenty of time for you to get up and get to the door once the vehicle stops, it is not necessary for you to stand up and push past me as soon as we leave the previous station/bus stop. WE WILL NOT HOLD YOU HOSTAGE. Especially because half the time I am getting off too. Just chill man.
Ok, rant over.
I was going to blog yesterday about how I am stalking Alan Carr/went to his show twice but then I couldn't find any words to write so I gave up. Basically there is a website you can sign up to and get free tickets for stuff, like the live at the Apollo I went to a few weeks ago. Both a chick I work with and my cousin asked if I wanted to go see Alan Carr. I wasn't trying to go 2 weeks in a row, it just happened...
Anyway, he's pretty funny? I dunno, I think I had seen his show before and he seems pretty genuine and doesn't change his personality when the cameras are off. Plus he always offers his guests alcohol.
In the first show he interviewed Nicole what's her face from The Pussycat Dolls or whatever, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and the guy who won X factor last year whose name I can't remember but it doesn't matter because you won't know who he is anyway (Matt Cardle! I just remembered!). He sang too. He also pre-recorded an interview with Dermot O'leary/UK's answer to Ryan Seacrest/host of the X factor. The whole of the UK goes mental for X factor guys. Like right now they are complaining that the ratings are real low because only like 10 million people are watching on Saturday. That's like if the whole of NZ stayed home on a Saturday night and watched NZ idol two and a half times. Or something that actually makes sense.
The 2nd week was Mary J Blige, David Walliams and Westlife, plus some terrible pop group called the Saturdays who I've never heard of before sang this.
Westlife getting Alan Carr drunk was probably the highlight:
I don't think they show it all, he definitely had more shots. They finished the whole bottle.
Also yesterday I got some pretty exciting mail from Clare. It was one of those postcards that is also a DVD so people can see videos of places you may or may not have been on much sunnier days than when you were maybe there. Do people ever buy these for non joke purposes? I don't know, but I enjoyed it.
The closing shot is probably the best part/sums it up:

I am going to finish with a selection of photos I found on my phone on Sunday after I went out on Saturday night. ENJOY.
