While the mouse is away...

So Nat's in Germany visiting her sister and brother-in-law. I should have been there but thanks to last minute Home Office shenanigans I no longer qualify for residency here in the UK after 4 years. So I now have to extend my visa for another year, and then apply for residency after 5 years. It's stupid, and expensive, but I have no choice really. And so, as my current visa expires quite soon I couldn't get a Shengen visa to join in the fun in Germany. Balls.

Anyways, as much as it sucks that I'm not in Germany right now drinking beer from served by buxom bar maids, I'm determined to make the most of the bank holiday weekend. Last night I managed to squeeze a couple of pints down (served by flat chested chav girls... boo!) at the Goose in Stratford. Where else can you get supper and a pint for 3.75? (by the way, the Pound symbol doesn't work on my keyboard).

Tonight I'm off for a couple more drinkie-poos at Strawberry Moons in Picadilly. It looks quite swish and I'm expecting a good night. But fuck me... 3.30 (the Pound thing again) for a bottle of beer?! Last night I got supper and a pint for about the same price!
