Brown signs

This weekend my girlfriend and I intended to take advantage of the bank holiday and visit some brown signs. That's not a dirty euphemism, it's what we call tourist attractions because of the brown road signs which direct you to them. We often spot them on the way to other places so some time soon we're just going to pick a direction of the compass to drive in and visit any brown signs we come across as we travel.

What we actually did was some sleeping in, some TV watching (the Sky planner is pretty full after being away) and played some Buzz. Buzz is a multiplayer quiz game for the PS3 and happens to be one of my girlfriend's favourites. In addition to the standard quiz featuring music, sports, entertainment etc. you can also download small sets of questions from other users. The one we most enjoyed today was about British chocolate - we both scored quite high and it ended in a draw.

I've also been playing a little Halo 3 multiplayer on Live this weekend. Having not played for some time it is quite painful relearning techniques, maps, weapons and tactics. At first it feels like you are playing underwater, whilst everybody else is zinging around on dry land, but slowly the skills seep back into your consciousness and you begin to play with something approaching confidence.
