    Going out for drinks on a Thursday was a bold decision. Getting up at 7 should be fun.

    Certainly is. Wouldn't choose to be anywhere else (in the UK).

    For me it's the most European feeling city in the UK - a lot of cafe culture and very vibrant. A lot to do here and everyone and nigh on everything is accepted, which makes for a generally great and interesting atmosphere. Just don't hang out in West Street - that could be any grim, drunken mess of a street in the UK - it's nicely contained in that one place over here though.

    I've found Torquay to be surprisingly nice as well. Haven't been to Brighton since I was quite young but I definitely remember it being nice.

    Now that they've started to clean the place up, Belfast is becoming an increasingly nice place to visit. Summer especially, the sun seems to be kind to the city.

    I don't know if people are aware, but you can watch the first episode of True Detective now if you have Sky.

    BT just phoned my house at 00:52, waking everyone in the house up in the process.

    Top work, guys! ****ers.

    Thing is, we aren't with BT as far as I know.

    The phone rang, no one got there in time and then on the answer phone an Indian guy was saying about "Hello British Telecoms, then I couldn't understand him, then he left a number to call".

    Most unusual.

    Yeah seems to massively miss the point of the Internet. Just binned my DVD player cos I realised it was redundant.

    Or about £8 for a shiny gold "high speed" which I'm pretty sure makes absolutely no difference.

    Post the number if you have it. 9 in 10, it's a scam.
