The Everyday Adventures of Mr B

At the weekend Mr B and I went to Alton Towers and went on rides such as: Oblivion, Rita, Thirteen, Galactica, Smiler, Nemesis, Runaway Train and Wicker Man. The water ride wasn’t open in the morning, but in the afternoon it was to cold so we didn’t get to go on it. Wicker Man was the last ride we did and had the longest queue-1 hour and 15 minutes.Mr B and I waited patiently in the queue,it didn’t seem that long. Eventually it turned out that we queued for 1 ½ hours. As it was Scarefest weekend the park shut at 10:00 instead of 6:00 which meant the queue didn’t really decrease. The queue didn’t actually feel very long. When we finally got inside we had to watch a video about the Wicker Man. After that we got in the dark rollercoaster car and we were off. The up was very bumpy but when we went down it was pretty fast and not bumpy at all.It was so much faster than I would have thought from a wooden coaster. After Wicker Man we left the park.

Today, instead of arguing with R about whether to watch Argentina versus England or not, I decided to head out and try a spot of 'egg chasing' for myself. Surprisingly, I'm rather good at kicking the ball over the posts. I was intrigued to learn that one of the teams at the world cup dress in jet-black - like yours truly! When I returned home, I told Robin I still didn't see what all the fuss was about (inside I'd enjoyed my day and succeeded in getting that ball over the posts). I have, of course wrestled a few rugby players in my time, but never on the pitch...

Exhausted from my night of crime fighting, my started with taking my coffee and going down to the classroom. Today, I was giving a lecture on the best way to hide in bushes to some school children. Most seemed nice enough; others might appear on my radar in the future. The lecture went well as I told them about the many different strategies which can be used to conceal oneself in the foliage. The teacher was a bit boring, so I showed off some awesome Bat-poses. After that, the children were as excited as pigs rolling in glorious mud. The long, arduous day finished with some eager, interesting questions and then I headed back to the Batcave and a nice dinner of buttery crumpets.
