(still gotta do the disso)
Just forget about it and enjoy your holiday. Least you know the special awareness thing will come in handy when you're getting attacked by the Sharm Shark and you're trying to find the shore
I'm going to have a great time dodging the sharks, just think its such bad luck on my part, would have been a great little break from the norm if I got on it, was like a month of filming Spatial awareness stuff. Think they said the thing they would have been putting on TV would be something like they leave you in the middle of nowhere and you have to find your way to a set point, presumably with no map. They did two tests for it.
One called the blind triangle, they blindfold you and put ear defenders on you. Then walk you along two sides of a triangle and you have to get back to the starting point making the other side of the triangle. Apparently the average distance from the start over two tries is about 1.35m, I was 0.49m.
Other was the four mountains test, which is one where they show you a picture of a range of 4 hills then show you 4 more and you have to identify which is the same as the first picture from them, they move the viewing position for the picture so you have to be able to work out which it is even though it looks different. 20 seconds looking at the first picture, 10 looking at the set of 4. I got 26 from 30 right, apparently over 25 is very good, over 28 exceptional.

Best: Got money again.
Worst: Cant stop spending it. Just bought some running shoes, lycra shorts and a t-shirt… I think I might never wear any of it, ever, because I hate the gym and can only run 3 minutes before giving up when outside on the road.
I think you should have the mother of all clearout sale threads on here and see how much cash you can make from all the stuff you have hoarded.

I dont have much to hoard because I sell or bin most things within 3 months. I think am going nuts… I see a Nike Free Run ad and I suddently think I want to run in them shoes bacause its like running barefoot then I started thinking about what else Im going to wear with it so I buy some more.
Last week I wanted some white shorts and of all the places I end up in Hackett and then I buy a shirt to go with the shorts and before I know it thats another £250 spent, then I buy sunglasses to complete my look. After that I wear it all and look in the mirror and think 'FUCK that is ridulcously shit' and then I envisage something else, see something I want then buy it then that looks crap too.
