High Def Spiders

My Friday night was a little different this week. Instead of spending the evening with Simon and Watkins, watching Peep Show, playing Bomberman and eating Nandos, I went out with Chris and Sam from work.

After a couple of pints at The Sizzler pub, I was lead deep into uncharted areas of Bath where I have never been before – Odd Down.

Odd Down is within BA2, which meant I had to pass car fires, dead bodies, prostitutes, crack dealers and playground chavs. I eventually arrived at Chris’ house, luckily unscathed.

Chris showed off his impressive AV setup, including massive high definition television and surround sound system. Sam brought round his PlayStation 3 and a racing game. I experienced a case of “technology overload” which caused me to drool some high definition saliva (like Homer in that 3D Simpsons episode).

We then watched a BlueRay copy of Casino Royale. Even though the film wasn’t amazing, the picture and sound quality was - I could watch anything on that TV, however poor! What made things even better was the sofa with a mechanical footrest. I want to take up residence in his living room!

When I got home, I discovered my broadband was live. I was happy. I also discovered something else. A spider. I was scared. The spider is now dead, but having seen two beats in two days is very, very alarming. I may call my letting agency and ask if they can call out pest control.
