I skated home most of the way from the bus stop last night whilst slightly drunk and only fell over twice. And one of those was due to my skates deciding a slight incline was in fact a mountainside and slamming me into the wall at the end. I swear they have some kind of motor in them or something - they gather momentum all by themselves. When I get any good at this I will be able to go really fast. Which is a plus as I'm proposing to skate home from work most days, and it will probably end up quicker than the bus.

In case anyone cares, I got more expensive skates in the end for precisely this reason.

I realised this morning that my default friends view has decided not to show me any new posts for the last two days. I thought it seemed rather quiet. I expect there is a community or something where this may be explained, but I suppose I should go to work now.

Or perhaps not.

Yes, I think I will work from home today.

I've got blades.

What makes a soft boot, exactly? Bits are soft and bits are hard! They're not entirely made out of plastic, if that's what you mean!

Further investigation suggests that the inside bits are washable as well, which seems like a good idea.

You care about how much my skates cost? Weirdo. ;-)

I seem to recall advising you to go for the posher end of the market, didn't I?
Oh, how proper blades rule!

BTW last night, I didn't skate but Andrew put me in a shopping trolley and promptly crashed me in the middle of the road. No rollerblades can compete with the unstoppable momentum a good, solid, Sainsbury's trolley can offer you...

*Ouch*

Metalhead.

(Shopping trolleys are the favoured transport of headbangers everywhere)

You caught me in the act

You'll have to come up and teach us how to skate, we're still crap.
On another note however: Which is a plus as I'm proposing to skate home from work most days followed by this: Yes, I think I will work from home today :D

Ah, did I forget to mention that last night was the second time I have used rollerblades ever? My plan is to learn quite quickly.

Next on the agenda is 'working out how to stop'.
