AGH!
where can it be?!
okay, background:
he was in glasgow today so he dropped off my "large" anniversary present. our anniversary is next weekend and he has a few more days off so we can spend time together/he can go to the manchester united/celtic game - yes boys, i know. anyway. we officially agreed we would buy each other presents not over the value of £10 so we can just bliss out and spend money in the city going for lunch, the cinema, dinner, cocktails etc etc.
anyway. he was like oh i'll drop off your £10 anniversary present, it's hella big, and then go back home (he lives outside inverness for the uninitiated and that's quite far away. haven't seen him in 2 months cos i've been working) so i went to meet him.
he hands me this present and asks me to open it. so i do. it's a suitcase. he's like "oh you needed a smaller suitcase didn't you? and this one was under 10 quid, it's tesco value!" i did indeed need a new suitcase cos i only have a hella big one. so i was like meeeh, okay :rolleyes:
and then he was like "oh but what's insssiiiddeee?" so i open it.
in it is an xbox360! not really. he's been joking about getting one for 2 months and i'm like "nooooooo don't waste your money! i want a wii! wiiwiiwii for christmas!" so it was an xbox-box shaped box wrapped in in xbox packaging so it did genuinely look real (he obviously printed it out and put a lot of effort into it)
and THEN he was like "but oh, isn't that a box too?" so i open that and the box is an empty paper box - you know, the type you get your photocopier paper from in offices. and then he said "but don't you normally get paper in these boxes?" so i open that bloody box and blu-taced to the side is a voucher with the jimmy chung's logo on it saying something along the lines of "this voucher entitles the bearer to a romantic, candle-lit dinner for two at the newly refurbished jimmy chungs renfrew street" signed in chinese.
now, he has been joking (you get the idea he's a bit of a piss-taker, right?) that on our anniversary (btw it's been 5 years) we would go to jimmy chung's for dinner. now, jimmy chungs is a really crappy all you can eat chinese buffet. and sorta cheap. so of course i was like "ahahah you kid! you kid!"
anyway, looking closer at this really professional voucher i notice it is signed cok suck-long and ranald has evidently taken the piss yet again. i laugh, safe in the knowledge i won't have to eat mass produced dog.
and THEN (it's finishing soon, i promise!) he says "but what's that on the other side of the voucher?" so i peel it off and it says "BRITISH AIRWAYS E-TICKET # 473847973498273 (not really that number) DESTINATION: ????"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and he was like "oh you took monday off didn't you?" me: "no" him: "well it's just as well i took the task of asking kat (my boss) for the day off then, isn't it?!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so not only has he booked me someone abroad that i won't find out til earlyearly next saturday, he took the effort of finding out my boss' email address and asking her for my days off and keeping it secret and OMGOMGOMG.
i'm so excited! where can it be?! we leave super early on saturday and come back monday eve so it can't be anywhere longhaul, but still!
jesus! i tried to get him to tell me, i said "but but but i may have board friends that i know there and i can go and see them!" :o but he wasn't having any of it.
and then in my excitement and just total incomprehension i was like "eh, but don't ask me to marry you! please!" and he laughed and said he wasn't going to propose (we've talked about this before so it doesn't sound as harsh as it does on paper/screen, honest).
god! where can it beeeeeee.... i've joked about new york but i really don't think he has enough money for that and also 2 nights doesn't really do it justice. and all the flight times involved - seriously, it'd only be like 4 hours in the states and then that's it. so it must be europe. i'm thinking paris. it's the obvious non-creative choice. not that i'd dislike it, fuck no! never been before. or copenhagen. or berlin. we've talked about that. jesus, it could be anywhere!
god, i guess i'll just have to keep you guys updated and post when i'm in my random destination next weekend!

11-10-2006, 03:52 PM
oh tnlol, i can tell you've never experienced good surprises to look forward to before.
i have the booking number and there is actually a section on the british airways website where i can enter it and the booked person's surname and hence find my destination, but i don't want to do it. then i would totally destroy all the effort he has gone to into making it a surprise.
of course i would like to know, but i'd rather guess my old fashioned means via hints in his talking and what not.
what i've found out thus far:
it's south. great, thanks. no finland or copenhagen or iceland then!
it has a left bank. i guess many places with, um, rivers do but they have a left bank in budapest that is commonly referred to.. (he slipped up and said the hotel was in the left bank).
there was a famous restaurant that many poets frequented but it isn't there anymore. nor is the actual place/building. hmmm.
i'm thinking budapest or prague.

ha, bionic, that's what i said at first "great! a holiday in a war zone! awesome!" (actually i would really like to go to israel) but then i remembered that it's the west bank, not the left bank. but i guess west is left. omg!
rock, he is a good man.
And also, Copenhagen is to the south.

yeah, it's a dirty weekend with an extra woman! yee-haw!
i guess i should at least shave my legs for this weekend. it's the least i can do! haha.
somehow i predict if pres wanted to take zorra away to paris it would involve remortaging about 5 houses. i guess we're quite blessed in europe to be able to pop onto a flight for under £50 that will take us almost anywhere in the rest of the continent.
venus - yeah my first thoughts were paris, too, but he's suggesting difficulty with the language and i don't think that would be the case if we had to communicate in french. i think most people have enough bastardised french to get around, mon cher. so that's what makes me think it's the czech republic or hungary. and lots of poets hung out in prague.
oh yah and he mentioned turkish baths and "they invented them, but they're not turkish" (but i'm taking everything he says with a pinch of salt because i think he's slipping in things purposely to get me off track) and there's loads in budapest. hmmmmmm!
i'll keep on truckin'!

ha, i am quite rusty on ye olde french. but i must say i wasn't calling venus my darling, i was calling my boyfriend my darling. which therefore would deem it correct, non? :cool:
and i'm thinking again that maybe paris is on the cards.
see, i've looked at all the departures from glasgow international airport with british airways and the only european ones are munich and paris CDG. so, unless he's lying about the airline or we have a connecting flight in london it has to be one of these! and paris has a very famous trendy left bank, too. hmm. i'm leaning towards paris now. goddamnit. but they have no direct flights there on the days we're going.. unless they're fully booked and therefore not showing up. who knows!
i'm going to stop hustling for an answer cos i was actually sad that i might have reduced the possibilities to two on the glasgow airport page. i've stopped trying to guess and am instead trying to pick out the best restaurants in all the major european cities. this is not an easy task. och well. i'll be in touch on saturday when i've landed.

(for some reason she strikes me as someone who would appreciate baby arctic foxes and what not)
did you see the arctic fox vs. goose fight? AWESOME! cheeky arctic fox! i love how the geese made themselves all big and were like NO WAY ARCTIC FOX! YOU ARE NOT EATING MY BEBBES! they weren't having any of it. rock on! but then when one managed to get some chicks! :( the arctic fox babies were pretty gorgeous though and i guess it is the, uh, circle of life.

yeah its the food chain but i find it distressing to watch littlesquirming animals in another animals mouth. i wouldnt be able to film it.

see that giant flock (?) or birds? that was insane. can't beleive the arctic tundra is the size of australia.

11-13-2006, 05:52 AM
the chicks i was sooo sad about. it looked as if they were going to be okay. but obviously when they were initially in it's mouth he pierced their little bodies and when he dropped them they were already too badly injured. and then he returned and grabbed one and fed it to his bebbes. aw. and the momma geese looked to distressed! it was so sad.
BABY ARCTIC FOX! (http://argus105.homestead.com/files/photos/babyarcticfox.jpg)
i wasn't so sad when the big different fox, whatever it was called, ate the really fat rabbit-type thing (you can tell i'm not really a wildlife expert here).
oh and the lions hunting the elephants! crazy! i was like NOOOOOOO run away! run away!

yeah, i love that. inspires me to go into camera stuff. i think it's much more dynamic. with the ice stuff last week did you see that polar bear almost attacking the crew? crazy! aww and when they freed a baby penguin from certain death by digging it out of it's hole? so gorgeous.
oooh found out what's happening next week:
Episode 8: Jungles
Sun 19 Nov, 9pm BBC One/BBC HD
(repeated Sat 25 Nov, 7.10pm BBC Two)
Jungles cover roughly three per cent of our planet yet contain 50 per cent of the world's species. High-definition cameras enable unprecedented views of animals living on the dark jungle floor.
In the Ngogo forest the largest chimpanzee group in the world defends its territory from neighbouring groups. Other jungle specialists include parasitic fungi which infiltrate an insect host, feed on it, and then burst out of its body.
motherfucking jungles and parasitic fungi. yeeeaaaaah (y)
then shallow seas, seasonal forests, and ocean deep. i like the deep ocean stuff the bestest. so much of the ocean is undiscovered. it scares me!

bahaha it was cute! they didn't want to get their paws wet! they were walking so prissy and had total "i am not impressed" faces on.
god, look at us. we sound like a couple of hippies. educated hippies. i don't mind paying the license fee for this stuff, ya know.
oh yah, they were babboons.
Planetary
11-13-2006, 06:35 AM
monkeys, babboons, they look almost the same. lol.
yeah i don't watch a lot of tv, this is worth my parents paying the tv fees for though :D

i actually can't remember the last time i paid my contribution towards the fee. i think my landlords (they're scott's parents so probably do everything for him anyhoo) just pay for it because we're so useless with bills and money. oh well. i don't care as long as it works.
edit; they totally should have a "junior planet earth" series where it's just BABY animals all round!
hmm in further actual-theme-of-this-thread news i've discovered that we are not flying direct from glasgow so my "paris or munich" idea is shot to hell. he's telling me to stop guessing, because (actual email):
"Don't get me wrong going to Birmingham is good enough, but when you're not expecting to go to Birmingham and then you go to Birmingham well then it's at least 3.333 times better!"

freeb, don't make me angry.
oh that's nice planetary. going away is always fun. maybe you will be following me? who knows.
oh, venus, i really don't want a baby! can you imagine! :eek: no proposals, no sperminatin'. just a lovely relaxing time on ATLANTIS or wherever the fuck i am going. reykjavik is now featuring in the top 3 of predictions. i heard it was super expensive to even get a beer there though. eh, whatever. if your friends liked it so much to create life, it must be good!
oh and apparently the flight to wherever we are going is not the "end of our journey" and we travel by curious means to our destination from there. seriously, i'm getting quite terrified now. i don't want to hack through fucking jungles or bungee jump out of a helicopter or anything which draws attention. uggghhhh.
