Henceforth

This is the second part of that entry just now, if you like. Now, I know what you're thinking- "Who the fuck do you think you are doing a two-parter, Harvey, the fucking writer of Dr. Who?". You probably aren't thinking that. But if you are, then my psychic training really has gone to plan.

Anyway, last week I went to an inter-school debate. The plan is that 4/5 schools from around the area gather up and do it, but only two of us turned up. Me and Alexej are notorious because we represented our school as speakers at the inter-school debate last time, only for everyone else to drop out out of sheer fear of our mighty debating skills. We were so good that they didn't even manage to make a point in response to us. That means me and him not only have a 100% winning record, but that we naturally earned our self-dubbed nicknames 'Juggernaut and Destroyer'.

This debate was at an all girls school in the area, which meant that basically I felt like a serial sexual predator walking in. When we got up to their common room, they had a massive 'Wall of men' which was filled with pictures of men, sometimes half-clothed. I was shocked and appalled at this. We don't even have walls at our school. Naturally, I checked to see if I was on the wall, but they must have had no pictures of me available, or something, because I couldn't find me.

The debate was weird. We had two other Year 8s from our school, and two Year 10/11 girls from their school, as well as me and Jacob. So we each had 3 speakers, and Alexej chaired. This was funny, as we basically just shouted at each other the whole time and Alexej had no control. I didn't have any notes, so I just drew pictures of the Simpsons on a sheet of paper before improvising a 4 minute speech, 'twas fun.

But forget the debate. Me, Joe, George and Alexej went into town on the weekend. Yes, you heard correctly, town. We began by spending half an hour in the apple store going on webcam with each other and taking pictures (thus my Twitter picture of me and George) and generally had a rave. We then saw this guy who balanced himself on a tight-rope whilst playing the violin. Joe immediately shouted 'He's from Cardiff, we have to give him money!'. His explanation for this was that he saw him when he went to Cardiff once, but I could tell that the Violinist had sent him some subliminal message telling him to give him money.

George's girlfriend works in the Library, and Alexej needed the toilet, so we went to the Library, where there are toilets as well. Alexej spent 2 minutes walking up and down the corridor, confused by the fact that they were both girls toilets, and he needed to go downstairs. There was a sign saying this, but he thought it would be best to leave it until the nice old lady directed him instead. After this, we went into the library and played hide of seek, naturally, and found George's girlfriend before realising we were idiots and leaving again almost straight away. I asked her if they 'had any books by Pendulum', because George bums Pendulum, but alas, they did not.

Then came the epic WH Smiths moment, where as Alexej was looking through potential Calculators to purchase (he bought the £20; goon), we ended up getting into a conversation with the man and woman behind the counter. As George and Joe left, me and Alexej were left talking with them. They were telling us how they are forced to ask people if they want to pre-order the Twilight DVD, which we all agreed was shit and needed everyone involved massacred immediately, and how this embarrassed them. The woman then said 'But I get 6 creme eggs for doing it though!' so I asked whether it was really worth the embarrassment. Alexej, in a very Alexej-esque manner then said 'I'd give them sex for 6 creme eggs'. Everyone burst out laughing, including me, and we left.

Here's the video of George attempting to throw his rubbish into the bin immediately after. But other than that, epic times. Toodlepip y'all.
