*EDIT*

And here is the proper entry. I’ll go through things as they are listed above.

Giro chasing!

Due to me not having a bank account, I get my JSA as a girocheque. Because we’ve had a few postal strikes lately, my last giro was sent to my nearest post office. Great! thinks I, that’ll be the one where I usually cash my giro. So, went there on Wednesday. No sign of it. Kept going back, still no sign.

Left it till Thursday. Found out that it wasn’t actually my closest post office. So, of to the other one. They had it. But I needed proof of ID and proof of address. I had the former, but not the later having not been aware I even needed it. Back to the house, pick up a letter, back to the post office and finally got my money. Yay!

And now I do have a bank account, so that will not happen again.

Football!

I managed to watch the Dnipro – Aberdeen game in the union after an argument with the venue manager. Think i scared someone when we scored and died about a million deaths in the last 15 minutes, but we got the result we needed and qualified for the group stages. Yay!

New arboreal decorations!

Also on Thursday I, volunterally, walked for about half an hour. A supermarket chain in Britain were seeling bonsai trees for £4, and I’d wanted one for ages. It took a bit of walking (as I’ve already said) but I got one. Then I was trying to decide on a name for him. (Yes, my bonsai tree is male, deal with it.) After having rejected the suggestions of Bonnie, Hiro, Rommel and Auchwitch I finally settled on one.

So without further ado, I present to you Otaku:

Football!

Last Tuesday was the draw for the group stages of the UEFA Cup. Aberdeen’s group are:
Athletico Madrid,
Panathanikos,
Locomotiv Moscow and
FC Copenhagen.

Some hillarity ensues when a collection of Aberdeen fans, so convinced that they know this will be an away game, book themselves onto non-refundable cheap flights to Copenhagen. So, they know they’ll be there for one of the games.

It’s just a shame that the team are going to be in Madrid on that day.

Questions!

It’s coming up to my 1300th entry. Which means I’ll be answering your questions. But first, I need some questions. So, get asking.

Music!

The new Radiohead album is cool. That is all.

Football!

Watched the Scotland – Ukraine game on Saturday after discovering that the union was actually showing it (seeing as they had the amazing tactic of, y’know, not actually telling anyone). Scotland were amazing (as usual). Now, all we need are four more points from our last two games to qualify for Austria/Switzerland. And that’s a position i never thought we’d be in when the draw was made.
