New faces

Saturday, July 11th, 2009 | Friends, Humanism, Life

Thursday saw Moz and Sarann come on their first HAG outing. While it wasn’t the best of nights with it having poured down a few hours before there were at least some people out and about so it wasn’t a wasted night. Better than Sophie & Jon’s first time!

Limited or no connectivity

Thursday was an evening of problems. Having left work at a reasonable time to run home and get a shower I phoned Nicola to sort out times for the evening. Which didn’t work because her phone is broken. And her backup phone is lost. That is like a double RAID array failure. I did say that girl was trouble.

Anyway I Facebooked her all the details but she didn’t reply. Running late I decided to run by Parkinson building anyway just to see if she had got the message and turned up but she hadn’t. So I headed off towards Rich’s when I got a phone call from her asking where I was as she was about to get to Parkinson 😀 .

Minor problems compared to when we got down to Rich’s and realised that we didn’t actually have a flask for the coffee lol. Rich had left his at Rationalist Week and mine was packed away somewhere but apparently not in my HAG bag so we ended up having to make a short trip to Tesco for some cold drink alternatives as well as some food.

In the end it all worked out rather nicely though as we made it back just in time for Question Time.

Thursday night shenanigans

Friday, June 12th, 2009 | Friends, Humanism, Life

Having left work at about 6 last night I headed off to meet Nicola for the usual Thursday night HAG activities. It was a mildly successful night, there were a few people out so a bit better (or perhaps worse) than last week.

Finally pulled up outside my house at about 9pm when I got a text from Zoe inviting me down to the pub. Of course this left me with no option but to head out again (after all I hadn’t been to the pub since Tuesday at this point!)

It’s tough getting through these long nights but somehow I manage it 😀 .

HAG

Friday, May 22nd, 2009 | Humanism, Life

As usual myself, Nicola and Rich headed out last night for our traditional wander round even given there are so few people out these days (what can I say, we’ve just too good at solving problems).

Annoyingly we ended up walking past the appartment I got beaten to bringing up some bad memories (it was so perfect, I’m trying hard to move on but I’m not sure I can) but otherwise it was a good night, we kept the focus on it being a good mix between helping and gossiping about people which was always the dream really.

Solving problems

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 | Humanism, Life

Thursday saw myself, Rich and Nicola head out for our usual Thursday night jaunt and once again it would seem we’ve been so amazing we’ve done ourself out of a job. We ended up seeing like three people all night thoiugh this is certainly a good sign once you put aise personal efforts.

In any case it resulted in us being able to head to the Victoria Hotel for a pint with everyone else – except that once we had arrived everyone was leaving! So we headed up to The Old Bar for a quick drink which turned into a few pints of Rich and so in the end I didn’t end up getting to bed until well after midnight – not good for the day I had ahead of me tomorrow :S.

Solving problems

The Thursday before Rationalist Week myself and Rich headed out for our usual Humanist Action Group antics.

Turns out, we’ve solved the problem in like a month 😀 . There was hardly anyone out that night which we decided must be down to our excellent work even though we don’t really help to get people off the streets in any way. Go HAG!

Love over gold

Friday, April 10th, 2009 | Humanism, Life

I’ve just put the album on and am currently mulling over how well it sums up Humanism. I mean, it would seem to sum it up very nicely indeed but then if I was to make a choice I would have to choose gold. Might have to give it some more thought.

Along those lines, the Humanist Action Group headed out on Thursday to do our usual trip round. As normal there were two of us which is interesting given 17 people decided to join the HAG group on Facebook and proudly display it on their profile.

Interestingly though it was at least a different two this week. Rich was unable to make it has he has retreated back to his parents for a while due to illness so myself and Nicola headed out. Turns out there were quite a lot of people out, which is a good thing in one respect and a bad way in others. Strange feeling really.
