Kebab, and Indian Giving

So it was Friday night, and I fancied a Kebab, so I got £5 cash back from Tesco (I bought 2 pints of semi-skimmed and some Carlsberg Export if you were wondering) and strolled back to the car. I told my other half I was going to get a kebab, but she put her foot down, saying I didn't need one. Her argument that I had eaten Steak Pie, Chips and mushy peas about 2 hours previously was, I admit, a good one, BUT it was payday, and that’s kind of where my argument ended, so I went home, empty handed :(

So Saturday morning comes round and my girlfriend is going into the city, I offer her the £5 I didn't need to spend yesterday evening and tell her to bring me something nice back. She returned several hours later, somehow not spending the £5 and not bringing me anything nice back - other than herself she was quick to point out.

Saturday evening and we're watching The Cube on ITV, we've not had tea, she wasn’t particularly hungry, so I suggest she returns the fiver and I go buy myself a kebab - big mistake - I am then lectured on Indian Giving, and how you can't ask for things back or expect something of equal value when you give something away.

I should of pointed out that kebabs are from Turkey and therefore that rule shouldn't apply and I want my five pounds back, but it's took me until Monday lunchtime to think of that, oh well only 4 and a half days till Friday evening, and possibly Kebab for tea that night

Trendsmap

Found something completely pointless on Mashable.com today.

Its called http://trendsmap.com/ @trendsmap on twitter.

It's basically a Google maps/Twitter mashup. You can look at "Earth" and see who's tweeting what where! Pointless but ace. clicking on the tag cloud brings up people in that area who have tweeted that word. Norfolk was sparse though, only 1 cloud existed, Chaz... poor Dave

Google..

I decided to make a blog, just because you can using a search engine.. Google rocks doesnt it? ok its not just a search engine anymore, it's basically everything, mail, address book, route planner, monopoly game(a very laggy monopoly game), and now it supports Push for the iPhone. Which is great, i can sync the contacts i never contact with the calender i never use and get the emails from the account i dont use as much as my hotmail one delivered straight to my iPhone.. Awesome.

They are taking over the world :|
