I went to see Coldplay last night (09/06/2012) and it was rather spectacular. Interesting decision playing "99 Problems" before they came on, followed by what I'm told was the "Back to the Future" theme - worked surprisingly well though. They also kindly provided the crowd with wristbands which lit up as part of the show - pretty genius idea really as it looked rather amazing. I took a few photos and a couple of videos, which you can see here.
As exams are now in full swing, I haven't had much chance to do anything of particular interest for the rest of the week (although you could argue Coldplay more than made up for it), however I did receive this rather prestigious award earlier in the week, which now takes pride of place on my wall, just next to the certificate for catching all 150 original Pokémon. A spectacular array of awards I've built up so far.
Almost the highlight of the week |
I managed to keep at least an eye on the Formula 1 earlier today whilst tackling revision and what an interesting race it was. Literally would never have guessed the results, ever. Disappointed Fernando couldn't hold his position but massive well done to Hamilton, Grosjean, Perez and their respective teams. Mercedes let themselves down somewhat by managing to make a DRS that fails in the open position - the complete opposite of what should happen - which was rather unfortunate for Schumacher.
Within the news/reams of stories I've seen this week, I feel this one to be the most interesting. It's a toothbrush. And a water fountain. Sign me up.
It is now 2 weeks before I take part in the Great North Swim and can announce that my wetsuit has now arrived and even fits. I say 'fits'. It's like playing with a Chinese Finger Trap trying to get it on and off and is not the most flattering piece of kit I own. I digress. I would like to quickly add that, for those who don't know, I am indeed taking part in the swim to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care and you can donate here and they are extremely appreciated.

Love it! Now get back to the revision! :-)
