"Dear Customer
Please do not add a ridiculous amounts of codeine, morphine or Viagra to a regular prescription, especially if the pen colour is different from your doctor's.
Please also do not expect me to believe that you are on codeine, morphine and Viagra all at the same time.
Thank you" (Sharz)
Apt, since I work in a pharmacy! Not had this yet, but makes me now think on the illegible writing after printout...

 | 07:46 pm - Holidays with functional public transport
I doubt I’ll manage to do a proper WGT write-up (as if I ever do) but it was rather fabulous and in the company of latexiron and cybermuppet. We found a LARPing shop1 and picked up a bottle of Drachen-Blut which is both a highly dubious shade of orange and 10%. I’m not sure if I’m ever going to drink it or just take it out to laugh at every now and again. I only ended up going to a few shows as WGT tends to be more about wandering round Leipzig in silly outfits and mocking other people, most of the bands were less the thrilling (Covenant managed to screw up the beginning of nearly every song) with the only stunning performance of the weekend given by Mesh. I ended up in Sixtina twice with the last being for Absinthe breakfast with latexiron, illdrinn and dasboy2. It’ll be fine, I foolishly thought, I’ll have breakfast and a glass of absinth and then we can all wander off to start our respective days. Three glasses later for me and dasboy and six for latexiron and illdrinn after we’d been sent on a mission for cheeseburgers we ended up taking a taxi to the Agra and going shopping although sadly latexiron did manage to steer me back to the hotel without making any more comedy wine purchases.
1.No really, an actually shop. With stock. Hilarious stock.
2.Not his real LJ.

 | 05:44 pm - Cemetery Open Day
The Vampyre Connexion are meeting at the cemetery gates at 11am Nunhead Cemetery is perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. It's formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era. Nunhead cemetery is on 33 Chalsey Road SE4 1YN You also get to hang around lots of wonderful birds of prey. Nunhead Open day 2007

 | 01:28 pm - And now for something completely different...
Well, I've been back from Leipzig for a few days now, and getting back into the everyday humdrum of work (although I'm very glad it's Friday!). I'm still in the middle of typing the massive writeup on it all, which should appear here soon.
In other news, and to give you a bit of warning, as I know some of you have enjoyed them before, and may well enjoy seeing them again, next Friday, the Soul Destroyer boys are up and at it again, this time in the Clapham Grand on Friday 23rd at 7pm, for a gig in a larger venue, which is being recorded. Tickets are £6 in advance from Ticketweb, or let me know and I'll ask the boys to bag you one, or £8 on the door. It's going to be a great night, with a number of other bands, so let me know if you fancy coming along.
For those of you who haven't heard or seen them, here's their latest video:

Museums night seems like a good idea but not when u have to stay in a museum on saturday from 10 till 9pm. This means I am working Monday to Saturday and then SUnday pm (for a nature festival)
Could do with a little time off especially as I also got the stomach bug that is going around. Humph.
pets are having an expensive month this month. 2 gone down with a nasty cold £41 then my rescue Nimbus has decided to grow a tumour like a golf ball in less than a month. So treatment will be £130 ( on the bright side this does mean I can get him de-cushioned at the same time)
So my plan to go out more this month just bit the dust. Grump

| 02:28 pm - Art evening classes
Can anyone recommend somewhere which does decent art evening classes? Trying to make myself get back into art without someone to give me a kick up the arse is proving very difficult... I've got Art A-Level and *used* to be a pretty prolific artist, etc so probably not looking at any of the "beginner" courses (of which there seem to be a lot). I don't want to just go along to one-off life drawing classes - I tried it but I was too rubbish and lazy to go back! I think I want a bit of a smaller class and some kind of structured teaching.
Thanks!
