Oh man if anything cured my stress and boredom, Birmingham did. It's like I had no friends down south at all...I went up to Brummi and was attacked by a horde of the buggers. It was frikking great. Shopping, changed my fashion sence somewhat, drunk mercilessly till 5am, saw nights through till day break, had a great time giving massages to best friends' girlfriends, and re-united with my closest best friend who I havent seen for 4 years.
If you've ever experienced the situation where the line:
"I can't stand *this* any longer...I need to get out_right_now."
Then you know exactly where I'm coming from. My advice to people? You wanna do somthing/someone? Go do/hit it

.
Signing off to chase hideous e-bayers,
Oli.
