I just visited my friend Carina in Middlesbrough, England. It was lovely!
|
Pretty street in the evening, on the way to Frank. |
We really just chilled, and she showed me parts of Middlesbrough, and I was amazed by a specific shop that was called Cucumber.
Want to guess what that really was?

Here it is. The wretched Cucumber. |
A hairdresser. A friggin' hairdresser called Cucumber. Where is the logic? Where is the appealing message hidden in the name? Does 'Cucumber' mean you'll look like a cucumber on your head after visiting? I wouldn't like to test the Moirai (goddesses of fate and destiny) to find out. They might end up cutting my life-string instead... And over what, a Cucumber!? No, Sir, I will not have any of that!
And I was so sure it was a sodding restaurant, that I even suggested going there when we were eating out.
I mean what about "Cucumber" does not state "food"? I mean really. Who think "hair" when they hear Cucumber? Maybe they had a hard time deciding on the name and just opened a dictionary, got C and pointed on that word.... Maybe if they had come a little further up they'd get Cock, and that, that would be mighty unfortunate. Who would go to a hairdresser named after a fucking chicken!?
But then again, those who want vegetable hair, would probably go to a fucking cock hairdresser...
*giggle* OK I'm being childish.
But it's a little fun...
Anyhow, was really nice to see Carina again, she lived in a nice-but-freezing flat, and we huddled together under her quilt and watched Ventrue Bros. and Twilight Zone. It was great fun :) And very nice.

Oh, and I also had a two-day-trip with Maren to Edinburgh! We walked through the whole friggin' city and went bonkers on seeing stuff and.... PICTURES!
|
These guys really know how to name stuff! |
Oh, and we tasted the worlds best FUDGE! My tongue died a little, and was resurrected when I tasted that.
|
I couldn't help but laugh a little at that name.. |
|
It was an incredibly beautiful city, and I wouldn't think twice if someone wanted to drag me back there :)
