we was robbed

if "anteater" had been accepted as an egg-bearing mammal, (the full common name is "spiny anteaters", the only accepted answer was "echidnas"), and "Indian" had been accepted for the originators of zero instead of "Arabic", our team (me, [livejournal.com profile] drjane, [livejournal.com profile] vjbseven, [livejournal.com profile] lost_species and [livejournal.com profile] digivamp) would have won. tch.

but took away two prizes for the team anyway, so blah.

it is Leicester Pride on Saturday. I thoroughly encourage all and sundry to attend, whether or not you be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or straight or other, and whether you are particularly proud of that or not. Is basically excuse for party in Victoria Park, which surely must be encouraged for whatever reason.

Oh my god. I knew both of those.

I feel really bad for not coming now!

I think I'll come along to the Leicester Pride thing... how does it work? The website seemed to advertise it more for people who want to watch the parade walk past rather than go to the festival bit...

you just go to viccy park at the appropriate time and there is stuff...

yeah, I got a model of a bucky ball. threw it at the cats. they were unimpressed. stared back at me with a "so what? you expect me to chase that?" expression...

oh yeah. planning to see rosie lugosi of march violets on the sunday of the pride thing. (knew I'd remember eventually) I think it's a poetry reading of some sort.

As I mentioned, I am planning to come to Leicester Pride again this year.
I was thinking I might stay with you on friday night, if that would be ok?

That would be fine. What sort of time would you be arriving (and how)? - i get off work at 5.30pm.
