Love can be a liar, justice can be a thief and freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody wants to drink
Hey folks,
It’s Friday afternoon and I’ve finally decided to post. Why? Because I damn excited.
Too much cursing for a first post? Get used to it. I’m like the sex pistols of Andy’s blog.
Anyways, I’m excited because I have 3 whole days of freedom next week. It’s nearly my birthday so I’m gonna blow 3 days of annual leave (wed/thurs/fri). Carolyn is kindly taking me to London on thurs/fri next week, which means that Wednesday is all mine. Carolyn is working - so I have the day to myself.
I will probably spend all day sat on the budda bag playing on the ps3. But is that quite exciting enough? Any suggestions as to what I can do during my 8 hours of freedom? Rules are:-
It can’t last longer than 8 hours - but we can spend the whole of Carolyn’s first paycheck.






Hey - you could come to a Strategic Leadership of ICT in Primary Schools course… Although that will last more than 8 hours. And it wouldn’t involve any of Carolyn’s first pay check. But it is Manchester so you wouldn’t have to travel far.
I’ve set up a new competition!
Also - I missed a few birthdays over the the last week! So - happy birthday to Sian, Laura and Jonny… sorry there’s no cake.
Andy, why were you up so late??
And what’s this competition??
That sounds fun Andy… but…
Nah
You could go to Flipper World. Everyone should check out Missy Higgins. She got recommended on Amazon to Alison (Macey on the blog) and she is amazing. If you go to missyhiggins.com you can listen to her whole album!
I couldn’t remember which song Jonny’s post title was from so I googled the sentence, and this blog was the second result!
Good song though.
Susie, I came across Missy Higgins when I was in Australia, and she is great. She’s got a couple of albums, think I slightly prefer the new one, but they’re both good. She sings with a funny Australian accent though.
I was going to write specifically “Mat you’ll real;ly like her” but then I might be presuming just because you like Gemma Hayes. But I was right! I was upset that she has 2 albums as I have no money. Still, I do have broadband in my room so as long as I’m in my room I can listen to the new one!
yeah mat - tis a good song. We saw him at the apollo a couple of weeks ago - was ace.
And I ended up being sat next to the skydive instructor from when I did the ol’ jump. Small world.
I think he was on a first date. Carolyn kept giggling
Why is it Jonny that you’re more excited about a day off on your own with the PS3 rather than a trip to London courtesy of moi? Maybe I’ll cancel the trip and we can stay in and play on the PS instead?
Jonny, I have a suggestion. You can go to http://www.mat-tanner.com and order a lot of copies of my new EP. Not sure what Carolyn’s paycheque is, but it’s only £3, so you could get a few and if you did each one individually it would take about 8 hours!
Jonny/Carolyn - What are you doing down in London? Anything special?
Busted.
I forgot that Carolyn has internet access now at work! oops.
We’re gonna do some sight seeing in London and maybe see the stage show of Lord of the Rings.
Also might attack the queen while I’m there. Just to see what happens.
The competition is to do with the league table over on the left hand side. It’s the number of comments made by each person in a month! I’m winning AND I didn’t even cheat…
I’m number two! I’m number two!!!
(name the film)
Short Circuit? Or was he Jonny Five?
Close, but no cigar
It’s a comedy
With Mike Myers…
He plays an English spy….
And now I’m number 1!!!!
That’s because you cheated. You can’t just put a new comment for each line. Didn’t the blog tell you to slow down?
It should.
Is it James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies?
Yes, it did tell me to slow down. I felt like a naughty kid getting told off. But I did it again anyway!
Have you seen my makeshift website? It’s very technical, I just plonked in a load of images using dreamweaver! It doesn’t fit in my screen quite properly, but it’ll do!
It’s better than the nothing that your lazy unreliable web person has given you so far…
Sack him.
Also - I didn’t answer Kate’s question about being up so late. The answer is I can’t remember. I don’t sleep too well so sometimes I play on the blog to send me to sleep. Honestly - it’s pretty dull on here at 12:30am.
I’ve not done enough work today.
Oh dear.
Are you still on half-term Andy, or back at school?
