Well tonight I'm supposed to be out with the lads watching the footie, but four things have happened:
1. I'm becoming very choosy about what i drink and turn my nose up at lager or normal beer these days, all i want is a pint of real ale. Blimey, it's a sad fact but it's true. The pub in question only sells rubbish. Instead of just sitting there agreeing to drink lager - i suddenly found myself viciferously complaining.
2. The pub has taken out one of it's satellite feeds - or so the manag
Working in a shop for the day which is crap enough in itself. Just wrote a whole rambling piece, someone came in and bought a plant and I lost everything just as I was typing in about Wiccans
Will write more drivel when I'm not pissed off
Cheers Paul
I've been off sick for the last two days and I have come to the conclusion life really is rubbish. Whilst I've been off I have had at least three missed calls/voicemails from work asking "Can you just give us a quick call?". I wouldn't mind if I was some high powered type who the company looks to for direction, but I'm a proper oik. I'm one of a strange breed though. I don't mind work calling me when I've booked time off (I give them my mobile number just in case - it's either do that polite
Ok all you tech folk , How on earth do I rid the ranting underneath my user name .. I wrote that a good few weeks ago ..Before I got the hang of this Blog stuff ...Now sorted
Promise to get myself on one of these " Internet for Fools Courses"
Im all for recycling, HOWEVER I,ve found out tonight we have some sort of microchip within our Grey bin , According to our local goverment website It,s inactive and they dont have any plans to use the chip ... Hmmmm .... (Apparently costs a quid per bin to put in )
Partner was on about " Direct payments" to the council about what refuse we tip .. Tonight we have spent 20 mins trying to find this chip ! If anyone has knowledge about where this chip lives let me know !
This grey bin sat in
Oooooh, well hello there anyway just got back on th internet after a few years abs(tin)ence and apparently some people like to read about other peoples daily lives. Had a few glasses of wine and found this. might as well start with my weekend . Just come through the joy that is the Swanage folk festival http://www.swanagefolkfestival.co.uk/. Started Friday night with watching a band called Jambu who halfway through my pissed state I realised I knew the female singer (no, not in that way ) spen
So Thursday was Infadels day, at ULU, and aside from it being a muuuuch bigger venue than last time, and the fact that I had work the next day and wasn't drinking, they were superb again. I had been planning to leave early (they didn't come on til almost 10!) but once they started I had to stay and dance til the end. That "I Like Your Head" song is just so catchy. Acoustic version of "One of These Days" was excellent too. Put the album on my headphones as I ran down Tottenham Court Road to get t
stoopid
After someone submitted this to the office as real I've been enjoying some of its other pieces of stupid reality it submits. All rather entertaining.
I read in the paper yesterday a lad my age who's 6'9@ has just signed a 3.5 Million deal playing basketball in the NBA, getting 170k a week, which is more than any premiership footballer! And I'm pulling pints in a working man's club
I'm getting very close to celebrating eight months of being sober (not one drop of alcohol) and it is just getting closer and closer to being impossible. After going to the match yesterday, I went out all night just drinking diet coke or soda water and it does my head in. Celebrating just isn't the same when you're being sensible. I definitely can't see me at any festivals next summer without a waxed cup in my hand for the entire weekend.
But I've now got the problem of how long it is goin
Wow - slightly hung over after a glorious weekend. The mighty Everton thrashed the Reds! Yay! We managed to find a pub to watch it in. For a while yesterday we were top of the League!!!
I'm able to tolerate smoking marshmallow leaves and so severely cutting down on my nicotine intake! Plymouth were all over QPR and unlucky not to have won - they drew - but the team are playing football Akos (golden boots) is class and so is the mighty Uncle Barry. They're good enough on yesterdays performanc
My dad is very good at playing the lottery, he wins a tenner every now and then. After his latest victory of two wins of £10 after buying ten tickets (for the mathematically retarded---> that is equal to a £10 profit), I suddenly thought... Maybe I have the lottery winning gene!!! This realisation was swiftly followed by another: I am poor - so poor, in fact, that i'm now even poorer than my mum! Now I know what you're thinking, "Paul, you can't possibly be that poor. Your mum is the poorest
Well this would have been a blog saying how beautiful Cornwall is. We had a great time - met up with friends and the weather was much better than I expected but i was getting so stiff towards the end that I was also wanting to get home to me own bed. Boy am I in a great state now - even going to have to start on some medication again that I don't believe in in the hope that it might help - make sense of that
Ive been having terrible trouble with my puter since we got back. A whole week ago a
So today is my ninth wedding anniversary.
PLUS - my boy's first day in reception class at school ("How was your day?" "Lovely", "What did you do?" "Everything", "Who's in your class?" "Everyone" )
PLUS - the final hospital check up for the missus and the soon-to-be new baby (still all systems go for Monday! )
PLUS - I had my redundancy statement (substantial )
PLUS - today I've had two different job offers come in to remain within the company (decisions, decisions )

i am on a mission... stopping biting my nails, haven't been smoking and trying to get rid of the jelly belly... its all making my life a misery
Well I'm being driven mad at work by Sleeping Beauty - I'm putting a comic book with games in it of the story together and the story is too short so I'm having to pad the thing out and trying to do it by just adding floss rather than my natural instinct to add superfluous stuff and confuse kids through out Europe. You know like saying she had a puppy or that her sister escaped the curse etc. But no i have to stick to the traditional story, bah.
Anyways, it's also the first day back at school.
My dog charlie last night seemed over excited, not in a waggy tail way but in an unsettled, breathing way. Cos she was making so much noise i decided to take her for a walk round trhe block to make her tired to settle down. (this is at about 11:30pm)
She didnt even make it, after a few yards her breathing and coughing was so loud and scarey people were opening thier curtins in the street to see what it was. I knew somthing was wrong, but shes been abit off this week (peeing in the house, her e
I've just finished eating my Ginsters and I can now positively say I have just been on one of the strangest nights out of my life. I met up with an old friend who had just split from her long-term boyfriend (no, it wasn't for that reason - she's way out of my league) and we were having a laugh but we fancied moving on from the country pub we were in as it was it felt like half the village were listening in to our personal and vulgar conversation. Being the gentleman I am I said "Where do you w
And they weren't hideous!! In fact, the 2 hours I spent with my form were almost pleasant (although they demanded a minute's silence for Steve Irwin, and it was the only time they were genuinely silent for the entire time ). Year 10 and year 9 classes were both thoroughly squashable (and even managed to work in silence for a bit!). The 10s are gonna be quite fun I think, just hope I can drag pieces of coursework out of them. A couple of characters but I think I can put up with them cos the re
