There's a lot I don't know (part 2)

We started the journey in an eventful fashion. I was trying to finish the inQuire news section together and it was taking a while.

The sun was shining brightly outside and my two companions were waiting to go.

When I finished in the office, I walked downstairs and set the alarm off because everyone else had gone, and put the alarm on without realising that I was still in there!

We had a real laugh on the way up - stopping at a Burger King somewhere between Canterbury and Durham, I asked for a large burger meal of some description. It was TINY!!!

But, not to be deterred, in full Wylie and Harvey fashion I picked myself up, and said "I'm not satisfied with this, please can I have another burger and some more chips?". They tried to take the burger away and give me a replacement one, but that would have been the same TINY size, so I had both, and some more chips, and felt thoroughly happy with my British complaint.

We thought about saying the Burger King people that we'd travelled five hours just to get to this Burger King and were there for a special 18th birthday meal...

There's a lot I don't know

Travelling up to Durham on Friday I realised a lot about the things I don't know.

We were in the car driving for 7 and a half hours following many signs to 'the north'. We went past lots of places I'd heard of, but didn't really know where they were.

By travelling over 300 miles from Canterbury to Durham, we'd nearly gone further than France, and the things I'd discovered felt almost as great.

I would have liked to updated this blog during the weekend, but I couldn't find a computer (partly because I wasn't looking for one) and I couldn't work out how to do it on my phone.

So I'm sitting in Whitstable now trying to rememeber some of the things I was thinking about then to write down now.

inQuire united

We came, we played, we went home.

inQuire united battled through the group stage of the 5-a-side tournament organised by Kent Union, and had a huge amount of fun but failed to get to the semi finals. Next time...

So, if you're reading this and want to know a bit about me, I'll tell you a bit.

I am a student at the University of Kent studying English Language and planning to go into journalism when I graduate. I am the news editor for inQuire (hence the football) and recently had a story about one of the letting agencies in Canterbury published on the front page. It was a story I was very pleased with, as it took a long time to write and research.

More about me in posts to come.

I'm enjoying this blogging lark.
