My mate Steve got made redundant yesterday. A real shame, because he's a decent bloke and a hard worker. I know exactly what he is going through because i went through it myself last year. It doesn't make it any easier though. He is going to come up and visit over the weekend (cue panic for me about eating), because his parents are currently in Australia. I hope he's doing ok today (yesterday he went out and got really drunk!). I know that he will end up in a great job where he is really appreciated.

Remember i posted a link to 100 ways you know that you are a Brummie? well one of them was that a bus route which took several hours and ended exactly where it began seemed normal to you (well, it does!)...i have found out that someone has done a narrated tour of that bus route! Only in Brum, eh!
