My weekend full of excitement and drinking! Well, drinking anyways

Three words - spaghetti and Champagne.

Need I say any more?

Well, if you want to know more, Saturday I took the Mensa test. It raped me so far up the @$$ that I doubt I'll walk straight for the rest of my life.

Went to go get an Ipod Nano at the Apple store on Oxford street, but decided that 2 hours waiting in line isn't really worth it. I've gone through my finances, and I really can't afford one right now anyways.

Sunday night, I decided to have some spaghetti, but when we passed the alcohol aisle at the local Tesco, I decided that I needed some champagne. The Tesco brand champagne won some huge award recently, being named the best in the world or something like that. Tesco, being the English equivalent to crap has £14 champagne, so I had to get it.

Not that anyone in the world will try it, but Champagne compliments spaghetti quite well.

Hope to hear from you all soon.

If you replaced the name 'Paul' with 'Matt', that comment would not be sarcastic!

That was quite possibly the stupidest comeback I've ever heard.

(The above comment was not sarcastic)

Dan. Your family is English! Doesn't that mean you're expected to be drunk off your ass the entire time?

Seriously. There's a law here. I went out for lunch beers yesterday (Tuesday) at 1:00. The pub was packed.

Okay, let's get this straight: In a British pub, drinking is not universally followed by drunkenness. A pub is more of a social place than anything else. Now maybe you're just such a lightweight that you get totally hammered after one pint, but it's not supposed to happen that way. Drinking for the sake of getting drunk is a very North American thing.

And Stacie, it was pretty entertaining, but trying to mop up eyeball goop while blind is a tricky proposition.

Just thought I'd let you all know my Mensa score.

Now keep in mind that I wasn't expecting to get a 140, but I did get a 135 on the Cattell B test (Culture fair was the test that did the most raping). I'm happy with it.

93rd percentile. If I take it again, I'd probably do a bit better. Wasn't expecting to be the best anyways.
