Well, the other day I went up to Lancaster on the train to meet up with a good friend of mine. But that isn't what this is about.

While I was on the train going, a very nice Scottish chap sat down next to me. It's the London Euston to Edinburgh train so on the way up to Lancaster you tend to see a lot of Scottish people. Anyway, this guy sat down next to me, and we spent a few minutes snickering at the people trying to push oversized bags into the overhead compartments, before he looks at me and says, in a lovely Edinburgh accent...

"Are ye goin' all the way te Edinburgh?"

So I was like "¬_¬... no...", and he laughed and says "Ah, so I don' get te sit next to yer model self all the way up do I?" He was nice, and I was warming to him by this point, so I laugh and say no again. He chats to me a bit, telling me he's been in Blackpool for a weekend, and we get onto the topic of whether or not I'm single. I don't think he was after me. In fact, if he spent a weekend in Blackpool he was probably gay, but we were chatting, and I say I've been recently made single. He had previously asked if I was married. Married! Do I look old enough to be married? Anyway, I tell him I'm single, and this one thing he said to me then really stuck. It may have been the accent, or what he said, or both, but he looks at me and says.

"Och, he dinnae ken what he's missin', heen."

And you know what? He was right.

Moving on to other things... I had an exam today, which I have failed, SO badly. Oh well. I sort of gave up on this year, I think. I'm hoping next year will be better.
I feel nauseous. This is possibly because I've managed to give myself salmonella poisoning, or possibly because I ate a large bar of Galaxy chocolate while drinking a large mug of coffee. I'm hoping it's the latter, because the extravagant vomiting that comes along with salmonella poisoning isn't really something that I want to have to go through a third time...

Oh well. I can get on with my summer now.
