Post from the Fabulous Café

Space Raiders are the mightiest of all 10p crisps. FACT.

Linden blows goats on OK Cupid. For pansy juice. FACTORAMA.

We’re in Fab Café for the quiz. It’s good, but we suck at the music round.

Life and Death

at 11.52 am

I’m currently sitting outside the Manchester St John Ambulance HQ, eating my lunch, in the glorious Fallowfield sunshine - you don’t hear that often!

I’m being trained in the ways of first aid, and it’s pretty interesting stuff. Having done some basic first aid at school, and had quite a few mates who did St John’s at uni, it’s pretty much as expected…and handily close to home!

The one thing I didn’t expect was just how male-dominated the course would be - it’s about 17 blokes to 5 girls. It does make sense, though - most of the course seems to be from the construction, engineering, steel industry, which of course is full of blokes.

This morning was largely paper-based, plus a bit of recovery position action. It was slightly awkward, manhandling a girl I’d never met before, but she’s nice enough.

Anyway, best get back. Will have to write more later, as per usual…
