Bored!
 
and bloody freezing!

I'm sat here in a hotel in Sheffield waiting for the A-ha concert tonight and I feel so depressed it's not even funny. The hotel is crap - hasn't even got a kettle! :confused::eek: so I went out and bought some wine. :D

Don't want to have too much of it though, cos I want to be able to take some piccies tonight :lol:

I have decided I really don't like the UK and I want to go home. Only 2 weeks left :cry_smile:

Nope. There's kids TV, antiques roadshow and some drama thing that's almost finished. Hotel doesn't even have sky! I won't be recommending this place on the travel sites that for sure :lol: At least I am only about 2 mins from the arena. It's the only reason I'm still here :D

We are going back home for a month next Xmas and I fear I'll be the same way. I know I won't be happy getting back on the plane but probably be relieved to coming back to the heat ;)

Is there a bar in the hotel? If so get yourself down there! Chances are there are other concert goers in there having a few! Failing that any pub in the area is bound to have some, go and mingle with other Morten fans!

Enjoy the night ;)

My home is definitely Australia now. Everything feels so weird. Took me ages to find a supermarket so I could get some wine :ohmy:

I actually genuinely thought there were things I missed, but now I'm back I really can't wait to get out of here. :confused:

It's so cold. I don't remember it being this cold at all. It is all very surreal

No bar in the hotel, but I did find a pub across the road. The only saving grace so far. Although it did close at 11:30 :blink:

Glad you found a light at the end of the tunnel ... It's overcast and raining here but not Sheffieldesque ;)

I've spent some fine time around that part of the UK actually.

Hey, Roxette are doing a 'world tour' ... :D

I saw them when they first came out. They were a backing group for someone (can't remember who though). Pretty good actually, but I think I'll give them a miss this time :D

Forecast snow for tomorrow, just hoping it waits til I get back from Sheffield, don't want to stay here any longer than I have to. I'm sat in bed with my clothes and coat on, and two quilts cos it's that cold here :eek:

You paint a pretty picture ... I have just discovered I have lost my only (British) passport so I guess I am stuck here in this hell-hole <goes searching for a Cherry Ripe>.
