Yeah! Not satisfied with Traveling to Ireland, myself and Lahdan (amongst others) attended a training weekend yesterday and today to top up our first aid skills. The course consisted of:
Resuscitation
Choking
Comms and casualty care
Bleeding
Chest pain
Unconscious casualty
Primary (top to toe) survey
Bites and Stings
Burns
Sprains and Strains
Fainting
Asthma
Bone, muscle and joint
Head injuries
Meningitis
Poisons
Shock
Stroke
Seizures.
And because we were there it was fun
. Today was a bit more active though, carpet burns seemed to make everyone laugh after I suggested it. Sadly friction burns was already up 
. Oh and for a few scenarios we had to pretend we were injured and let the other three figure out a way to treat us. Our team was Moi, Lala, Josh and Andy (after the ravenous boy was fed 3 times). Josh got something like he fell off a ladder or something and had a leg injury and the onset of shock. Andy was also our guinea pig for that one. Then mine, somewhat appropriately was I had been out on the town and got suitably hammered, then somehow mistaken a wineglass for a chair and had glass embedded in my arse. Lahdan had to hold a bandageon it whilst Josh pretended to phone for help and reassure me
Josh: "Don't worry, you'll just wake up with a sore bum tomorrow"
Me: "Oh no worries, I'm used to it".
Andy meanwhile pretended he was elsewhere.
and later we were given estimates for percentages of the body, the lower torso being roughly 9%. This was needed for burn assessment. Josh had an interesting thought.
Josh: "What if they're pregnant?"
Leader who's name escapes me: "Well... you usually have a baby."
So thats that. We didn't get assessed as that's external but we're nearly officially first aiders...

OMG I SPENT ALL LAST NIGHT DREAMING OF NZER AS A WOMAN STAYING IN THE (well a) HOTEL WHICH IS AF. Wait. Less capitals.

Anyone feel like coming down and playing risk and mario kart?

Here’s a simple game for whenever you watch Doctor Who. You find some form of strong spirit, and take a drink every time one of the following happens:
David Tennant does an "Of course I've seen this all before" face.
Whenever either he or Jack appologise to a monster.
Whenever there's a really jarring reference to pop culture
If someone actually asks "Doctor who?"
If one of the assistants says something stupid/plot critical that makes the doctor realise something
Whenever Rose expresses jealousy.
If one of them makes a hammy death speech
Whenever Jack looks smug after shooting something.
Whenever someone questions the doctor's credentials or makes silent prayers to him
Every time someone makes a reference to Donna's inevitable demise.
Every gay kiss, every reference to a boy's boyfriend or a girl's girlfriend
any reference to one of the spin off shows
Every time the melty darleck says "the doctor is coming".
every time there is a case of deus ex machina
Every time he gets dewy-eyed over Gallifrey.
Thought up by me and sinead, with sinead giving the majority of suggestions. We're now opening it up to additional drinking opportunities

Who likes zombie flicks?
Well, for a start, my brother (and I suppose to a lesser degree, myself). I always find myself rooting for the zombies, because those who we're supposed to care about surviving are that fucking stupid they deserve to be consumed by the living dead, the quicker the better.
One hour ago, however, I became the hunted. Let me explain.
ZOMBIES!!! is a game whereupon you take the roll of anonymous survivor [insert colour] in the town centre of a zombie filled city. As a board game, each turn progresses with you initially taking a piece of terrain (a 9x9 tiled square) and placing it adjacently to the other squares in such a way that it creates a city street- filled with zombies. With each entrance or exit (or sometimes depending on if it's a specific random location like a hospital with may list more than that) you place a zombie at random on one of the tiles. Your street constructed, you then venture out to find some safety, roll the dice you are given and move that amount of distance in any direction. Should you meet a zombie, you must face it down or go back the way you came (but as my player found on several occasions, sometimes the living dead just don't give you a break- I walked smack bang into a police station crawling with the things.) Should you roll a four or over, it is successfully felled, if not, you must use either your health coupons or bullet coupons to aid you in slaying the monstrosity (each coupon is worth a value of one to your dice roll) and they can be readily picked up from locations such as shops and army surplus stores. Along the way, you can use your cards (a total of three in your hand at any one time) to add interesting encounters to the other players (such as randomly spawning a horde of the undead, or making them get lost in the streets) and aid you with items such as a handy shotgun or fire ax. At the end of the turn, you roll another dice, and are able to control as many zombies as there are numbers facing up. This can be handy in a pinch, you can direct them away from your character, or use them to make things dicy for your opponents.
The objective of the game is to GET TO DA CHOPPA! and be the sole survivor.
But this is not the inherent beauty of the game. It is entirely possible for you to make up your own game rules, such as rolling for random zombie spawns, creating different objectives to win the game, having one person control all the zombies on the board in their own zombie turn. The list is endless- and as the creators say "you bought the game, it's not like we can tell you what to do".
It is an incredibly fun and simple game to play. I recommend to all.
