Weekend
Well, I had a pretty amazingly good weekend.
Lucy came up on Friday and we met up with Alex in town and had a few pints. We knew we had to be up relatively early on Saturday, so had an early(ish) night. Saturday came, we got up, and headed down to just past Selby (south of York) as we were to wish a friend happy birthday, and watch all six star wars films back to back, as you do, perfectly natural, right ? do it all the time…
13 hours, 40 minutes if you were wondering. Lucy did the honours of driving back at 2 in the morning and we merily made it back in good time around 3, having sung along with Tenacious D in the car and mused over the meaning of the word ’stat’ used in so many American hospital programmes.
Sunday was spent mostly in Sunderland where we met up with Chris, a guy I used to work with who is also in my guild (britlore), and we ate, drank, and were generally merry.
All in all a very eventful weekend. Lucy snuck out this morning, despite me getting up at 7 to see her off, I still missed her, and now i’m sat at work…. working.

Lucy? Alex? Who are these people? :)
Selby? Bah that’s even closer to me, why didn’t you say anything?
“Stat” = something like “Now! Now, gaddammit, now!” or “immediately”

:’( Talthy !!
Stat is apparently short for ’statim’, the Latin word for immediately. We got what it meant (although i realise my comment makes it sound like we dont), but didn’t know where it came from :(

Well considering the people who were having the conversation, it was a guess that you didn’t know what it meant ;)
