Superpower Cut

My dear father decided to cut the power at the fuse box just as I completed my post last night, because he wanted me to be up in the morning. Thanks. We hates him, we does... Here is my attempt at remembering it. Pluck out his eyes, we must, hmmmmm?! Fish raw best is, my young padawan...

Quote of the moment:
"Sometimes when I'm confined with a small space, I weep." - I bet you do, Jim. With joy... (actually from the Ford Focus ad.)

I had an epic day. Jimmy came over at woke me up aroun 11.30am, and by 12 we were heading out to the gym. Despite the ill-omen of seeing Mrs Short, we survived the ordeal of weights training and un peu de running. I conquered Jimmy in a rowing-machine race, mainly because he started so fast that he slid off the seat!

We then utilised the swimming pool, where I demonstrated the correct way to play "Jaws"(underwater, with one hand up as a fin) and we both managed a length underwater. Jimmy then went to relax in the jacuzzi while I did 25 lengths plus a second and final underwater one. Go me!

We then returned to my house, recieved a delivery of one Thorne and set up the GameCube. After a warmup of Super Smash Bros, we had a retrofest all evening playing International Superstar Soccer 98. Hurrah! I played against a combined team (both playing together) of Jimmy and Will T, and, despite a heavy handicap AND rubbish teams, won 4 games to their 3. My best was a 5-0 victory for Wales over Argentina. LOL.

Lol don't forget my 4-0 win over you, whilst managing two controllers at the same time:P Even if it was Brazil v Canada...

3 of those were before Will T left though...

Actually I think you deserve credit for winning 3 despite the handicap of Will!
