Its a Bit Bland
Where are all the bells and whistles? At least you have a background which resembles a Victorian wallpaper design. Not bad for a starter but needs some improvement little big sister.

Where did all that snow go?
Howdy y'all. You'd think I'd be assured of a white christmas living in Canada - but no - i't bloody raning, I swear it rains more here than in the UK. Christmas in canada is much like Christmas in the UK except they have mashed potatoes NOT roasties - how wrong is that!!!! Well not in our house, we are having Roast Potatoes (done the Delia way mind) and Mark can just damn well enjoy them. Speaking of cooking I hope my turkey is almost defrosted I think I'm going to have to cook it tomorrow, there's no way I can do it and veggies all at the same time - there's just no room!!! That's enough ranting for no, better go, puppy to deal with, coffee to drink and work to go to. Talk to y'all later.

I did sommit stupid
Last night i had a shower, and afterwards a massive buzzing sound was coming from the bathroom. i couldnt figure out what it was, i seemed to be coming from behind the tiles?! i turned the shower on and off again thinking it was - not sure just tried it. then i ended up switching off the mains switch in the flat just incase it was the shower components behind the tiles. nope still there.
I started to go around the bathroom trying to find out what the sound was - then i found it
It was my gillette razor - the one that vibrates - it had fallen and got stuck switching itself on in the process - it was leaning against the wall and the sound was amplified due to the pipes and wall.
so i switched it off and all was peaceful.
this lasted about an hour (off and on - not constant) very funny - but you had to be there.

King Kong
So who's seen this?
I saw it yesterday and was thoroughly unimpressed. I'd give it 4/10 and will not be watching it again.
My main disappointment was a lack of Gorilla on Lady love action.

Morning Peeps
How are we all today then? How were your weekends?
Mine was pretty good, just went xmas shopping in Exeter on Saturday which was as hellish as you can imagine.
On Sunday I went up to London for the day because we had got free tickets for a private screening of Narnia in Leicester Sq! After the private screening we were taken over to Somerset House by an old Routemaster bus where we had lots of free food and drink at a private party that overlooked the Thames followed by a spot of outdoor ice skating! Great!
So i'm sat at my desk today half asleep and did rubbish on the quiz today! Boo!

Morning
Well the blog started out busy this week but has gone a bit quiet now. Bit like my week at work...yesterday was good, there were various football matches to raise money for World Aids Day, the lads in my office were playing so I was allowed to go and watch for about 3 hours but they lost to some students in the end!!
How are we all then? Any goss to brighten up my day?
I overslept today so i'm still not quite with it. I went to the cinema last night, i've started doing that Orange 241 thing for tickets. I went to see Flight Plan which was ok, went to see The Constant Gardener last week which was also ok. I managed to spend the same amount on pick and mix and a drink as I did on the film tickets.
Am liking my score on the quiz today though I imagine Tosh is going to try and beat me - i'm going to make it my aim to beat him this month!!

England Offically Crap for Dealing with Snow
Snow causes road chaos
Police in Gloucestershire say dozens of motorists have got stuck in snow. The worst affected areas are around Cheltenham and Cirencester - where between 300 and 400 cars have been abandoned. Gritters are struggling with the conditions.(From BBC Web Site)
Where as when i went to New York they have the worst Snow Fall for 10 Years, 6" in an hour or more. Snowed all night, by morning all main roads in NY were clear and Gritted and Traffic was not at a stand still, some cars on the side raods were completly covered in snow. There were also pile of snow 10-15 feet high in places too, but still they dealt with it as soon as it happened.
Why when a little bit of Snow falls in the UK it can't cope?

Monday Munday Mundane
Start of the week is so boring !!!
Here is what I did over the weekend though. Went to my Mums house Thursday night as it was her birthday. Friday went to Milton Keynes to Escape which has the indoor Ski slope, did not ski but did have a look round. On Friday night had a few beers with my Stepdad(Brother if your Sparky) Selwyn, and played some cards with my mum. Saturday had fried breakfast, then set off back to Chelts at 12.30. Got back at about 2. Annie was down for the weekend as she is going away for 6 months, so we all surprised her and got very drunk. Graham was also down for the night, we (Drew, Tosh, Yvette, Jay, Cat, Graham and Me) started off at Annies old house (which is where Vicky and Emma live) where we had beer we took along. Lots of people were there including Helen who used to live with Annie and Emma who came down for the party. We surprised her and it was time to head into town, Gray and I walked as we had 6 cans of beer to finish on the way. Got to Residence and we were feeling a little drunk, James P came along to Residence also. Had some more alcohol and moved on to Jays Vodka bar for Jugs of Muddler which me and Tosh drank. The Annie and her pals vanished so the "Family" was left on its own. Most of us drunk more downstairs Drew disappeared for ages reappearing when we went. Tosh's sister also went missing for a similar amount of time? Where they together? What did they get up to? We all thought about going to a club but went to Burger King got some food and went home. Sunday was spent watching TV feeling a bit hungover. Had a roast and then came home and went to bed.

Tosh's sister also went missing for a similar amount of time? Where they together? What did they get up to? We all thought about going to a club but went to Burger King got some food and went home. Sunday was spent watching TV feeling a bit hungover. Had a roast and then came home and went to bed.

Snow!
Well it's snowing down here in Devon, how about where you are?
I'm not sure many staff and students are going to make it in from the remote areas so it's going to be a quiet day here! Am supposed to be driving to Bristol tonight, I think I will have to see how bad it gets!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Its a good enough film to go and see, but don't expect to see all that the book had in it. The book developed a lot of points and explains a lot that the film has missed out. I also felt that the film had to be rushed in order to cover the story lines that they were following. I have become acustomed to all the films slight differences but am worried about the ammount of content that will have to be axed from the book in order to keep the next 3 films from each being 4 hours long.

Happy Friday!
Hello everyone, how are you all? The blog has been a bit quiet this week so thought i'd do a quick post!
How has everyone's week been then? Mine has been ok - tonight is our office/team jolly to Exeter, we are going bowling, for food and then for drinks. I had a sneaky trip to the bowling place on Weds to practice, I only got one strike but finished with a score of 95 so I was quite chuffed since that's good for me!
What have you guys got planned for the weekend then?

Weekend-ed 13/11/05
Well what did all the boys a girls do this weekend????
I had Friday off work, watched some films and TV, then went round the boys house about 9pm and watched some footie (Bristol City), then watched Agent Cody Banks on Sky before going to Sara's house. Saturday was Shona's birthday so when I got up I went back to my place to escape the girlieness. Watched some TV before going to the pub to watch England beat the Aussies at Rugby, the watched the tense game against the Argies. As we were watching the games in the Lansdown, which now has famous sportspeoples names on the table, we were sat at Michael Owen, I gave his name a special rub which I believe resulted in the goal, so I gave it another rub and he got another. So after a few drinks there we went into town (Me, Drew, Graham and Louise Toshack others were at the pub but went off to do other stuff, but they return later in the night). In Que bar we have more drinks, before going on to Blush for some more drinks. End of night me and gray go back to the flat so I can go to bed and gray can sleep on the couch. Once back I get a call from sara and have to jog back in to town and walk her back to mine. One of the girls she was out with had broken the front door to there flat (somehow managed to close the door whilst it was on the latch meaning that the key will not open it from the outside). So I get Sara and come home and go to bed. Sunday spent sleeping most of the morning before going out and getting food for a Sunday (chicken) roast. Yummy Yum. Sara still locked out all day, watched films and TV for the night.
Other things did happen over the weekend but I can not be arsed to include it.

If you want to share your music with Friends....
DONT UPGRADE TO ITUNES 6.0!!!!!!!!
As we all know Itunes only lets you authorise 5 machines to play your purchased music.
Well thats gonna change to 3 machines fairly soon. But thats ok cos we have Jhymn (Jhymn can unlock your files and make them standard M4a or even Mp3's) right? Wrong.
Any music you purchase with Itunes 6.0 can only be played in Itunes 6.
iTunes 6.0 Warning
It appears that if you make any purchases using iTunes 6.0, from that point on you must use 6.0 — and then JHymn won't work for you either. JHymn will have to learn how to perform the iTunes 6.0 protocol before this problem is likely to be fixed -- so hang on, it could be a bit of a wait.
In the meantime, you may wish to delay upgrading to iTunes 6.0 so that you can continue to free your music until a new solution is found.
To all you numpties that have upgraded.
Nice one ;P

My Weekend
Had an up and down weekend been very tough for me giving up the cigs this time, i think it is because maybe this time around I originally felt pressured into it, but saying that Im starting to readjust my thining about that. I gave up once before, about 4 years ago. I smoked for 10 years before that and decided to give them up all on my own. And I quit for 3 years. I started again about this time last year so have been smoking for a year now - kinda like an old friend and it has got me through some hard times, a comfort if you like. Silly i know but thats just how it is.
Yes I had a lapse Friday, stressful day, Went to the docs and found them well, almost unsupportive. Work was giving me a hard time and just felt thourghly crap. Found the withdrawls harder this time around, had lots of pains in my leg and stomach cramps which are not pleasant. Not had much sleep either. Got quite depressed - I just didnt want to feel like crap cos my g/f was down and just wanted to be at my best for her, which I ultimately wasnt and having that cig didnt help, just made me feel worse and wasnt that enjoyable anymore. So being stuck in that inbetween was throughly miserable, missed cigs, felt physicaly crap and gone past the point where having a cig would help - and apologise to everyone for my mood this weekend, especially em who has been just fab.
So Em came down friday and we just had a night to ourselves, it was nice. Saturday we went into cheltenham and I got myself a coat from French Connection which I used to hate, but has some cool stuff in there lately.
Went to james's in the evening everyone had some tea which james expertly prepared - then went to see the fireworks from top of the hill. Was cool.
Sunday me and Em went to cardiff for the day, stayed in the Ibis which was a bit pants - but it did us. We did some shopping and then we went out for a lovely Tai meal to celebrate our mini 6 month anniversery. The meal was awesome, had some wine lots of laughs and for the first time in a week I felt relaxed and enjoyed myself. Was ace. We got a bit drunk and decided to take a trip to the casino. Em had never been before so I took ou £50 (hey I saved that much not buying cigs for the week) and off we went.
Well what can I say, Em is a naturally gifted roulette played, the girl can pick a winner with her eyes closed. I strated the ball rollingby loosing £20 in about spins... she got into it and strated picking numbers... "put soem on number 2"... bam winner £35, number 6... bam winner £35, put some on yvettes birthday Bam winner £17.... all in all we walked out with £150. Awesome. We could have won more im sure, but we had had a laugh and waled up £100 better off which paid for our meal and Hotel for the night.
Today we had free breakfast (hotel didnt charge us even when they asked "Did you have breakfast?" I replied "Yes", she said "Ok thats room with no breafast, £52". "great" i replied.
We did a little more shopping, got em her xmas pressie from me which is a rucksack for her trip to NZ in January.
Came back home and watched Jerry Mcguire and she has just left for home. See her ain in 4 weeks :o( hope it goes quick.
Anyways it is nice to see all the encouragement from my best friend on here, made me smile and I just want to say a very special thankyou to you all and also give a big apology for my moodiness. James and Tosh have both been great and I do appriciate the lengths you guys go to to stop me smoking :o) Yvette your the best and love you to bits. Benji, cheers for the support and Jay and Drew have both been fab also. Thanks guys your all the best a silly welsh tart lie me could not ask for better friends :o)

My Weekend
Had a very nice evening with Tosh and Yvette at the cinema on Friday Lord of War was good and Cat and Yvette got on very well (Tosh and I couldn’t get a word in). Not going to say anything about footie on Sat but fireworks and drinks were nice we went to my house after and Cat and me fell asleep on the sofa. Drew cooked up a lovely roast yesterday I didn’t help much apart from slicing my thumb open whilst cutting carrots. Id like to say thank you to all my friends for making Cat feel welcome she was very nervous about meeting everyone but she coped well with the mickey taking and I am glad you all like her. Cat and I r watching Harry potter tonight as she hasn’t seen the films and I want to watch them all again before the new one is out the rest of the week I shall be spending time with the lads. I am working from home today and am already looking forward to the weekend. The mighty Bristol city r on sky Friday (very rare) so cant wait for some shouting at the TV hopefully my bro will be coming up to watch 2. Sat is a chance for us to redeem ourselves at footie and I have a funny feeling drew will be scoring his 1st goal for us. Watching rugby England v Australia sat afternoon then taking cat out for a meal and Sunday is smallville day, watched the first 2 episodes of season 4 last night they were minted.
Sparky Watch
He failed Jay confirmed that Sparks smoked the other Day. So we have to reset the clock and start again. I do admitt that he did do well going five days with out. So well done for that mate. If you can keep doing that you will slowly reduce the nicotine in your system.
Weekend
Friday night Yvette myself J and a girl he is dating (called Cat - very nice girl J has done well :D ) went to the cinema and something to eat. went to see Lord of War which i thought was good. Cat stiched J and I up by saying she was a soccerette - she could of gone on for ages.
Saturday morning Drew, J and I played footy. We played a decent team from Leeds in the national cup and got dicked on. 8-0 was the score. in our defense - well we had no defense as we didnt have a full squad. but they were the best team we have played. and we dont play decent teams like that every week. excuses excuses ;)
Saturday night we went up to Cleeve hill to watch lots of fireworks displays especially the racecourse one. it was ok. Then we all went to the rising sun and had a few drinky poos.
Sunday over to d'boys house and we all had a roast done by drew helped by james, j, Yvette and cat - all very nice.

My Friday Off
For those who don't know I have every Friday off till christmas, so have to fill them with things to do.
Today I watched a film, Watched Spooks which we Sky PLused last night. Then had to go off to the opticians for an eye test. Monitors were sometimes blurry at work. So i have my eye test and am told i need to get glasses for when i am concentrating on things, felt like saying that in that case i don't need them, so i have to hand over £220 for a pair of glasses. Hopefully next Friday will not be as expensive.

The first 4 days have been hell for Sparks - the lack of cancer stick is really taking toll.
He looks like he is giving up heroin instead.
BUT YOU CAN DO IT SPARKS!! KEEP IT UP PAL

Plot Summary for
Victor/Victoria (1982)
Victoria is a poverty-stricken soprano trying to find work in turn-of-the-century Paris. With the help of a worldly-wise nightclub singer, she invents her alter-ego Victor, a female impersonator who is hired to sing at a fashionable night spot. "You want me to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman?" Interwoven throughout the comedy and musical numbers are some surprisingly astute observations about gender perceptions, discrimination and the battle of the sexes
Plot Summary for
The Castle (1997/I)
A Melbourne family is very happy living where they do, near the Melbourne airport (according to Jane Kennedy, it's "practically their back yard"). However, they are forced to leave their beloved home, by the Government and airport authorities. 'The Castle' is the story of how they fight to remain in their house, taking their case as far as the High Court.

Again Trivia proves to be wank
Lock Stock Question
2. How was Tom attempting to get rid of the antique shotguns?
I answer: They plan to auction them for 250,000 pounds.
But no this is wrong
The correct answer was He throws them off a bridge.
In the final scene of the movie, we never do find out if Tom actually tosses the antique guns off the bridge or if he keeps them so he and the guys can auction them off for 250,000 pounds! (report correction)
The guys are fucking morons

The Weekend
Well this weekend went like this....
Friday night was meant to be going out for some drinks with Sparky. He changed his mind and he and Emma were supposed to come over to the Flat after tea for a while. But they could not even manage that cause Sparky is too slow to sort stuff out and he went for a meal and would not have been round till after nine so tosh vitoed it cause he had football in the morning. I went round to see Sara.
Saturday, got up and went back to the flat. Waited for all the boys (Jay, Drew, James, Tosh) to get themselves sorted for the night ahead. 3.30ish we set off for Bristol (going for Jays little bros birthday. Get to Bristol and go for a drink, wait for Phil and Gray to turn up have a few more drinks, I was having Coke. Phil has to go and play Poker so he ducks off at 5.30. We stay in the Adam and Eve for a while longer till Jays brothers and Dad come along. Then it is off to a local tavern call the something Taps. Nice little place which serves really strong cider. The boys all drink a few halfs of it. Play on the quiz machine for about 40 mins. Then it is off to see if we can find somewhere for some food. We split up in to two groups as some of us were not fussed if we ate or not. So Jay, Drew and I went off to the Clifton Wine Bar on route to the casino. We get a call from the others saying that they could not get in anywhere for food so have gone to the casino. We meet up with them and me a Drew hit the Blackjack, £30 each in to the pot. We play a little and the pot is up and down and up and down, we stop for a bit with £37.50 in the pot. Have a couple of drinks. Then back to the tables we make a little and lose a little again. Jay comes over and gives me £20 to use, he had just won some money on the roulette. I double his money and ask him what he wants me to do. He is a little drunk so tells me to continue, up and bit again down a bit cheating effing dealer and its all gone. Drew has also left the table now. Oh well sorry jay i say as Drew comes back and gives me £60 as he has now doubled our money. We give Jay £10 each back to cover his loss. Enough gambeling so off to another pub. Its now gone 12 and we are all a bit tired so after this drink it is off to the Food eating place whilst tosh and James go for the car. We then journey home, where i fall into a nice little sleep after turning all my clocks back an hour.
Sunday did not do much watched some TV and a pap kung-fu film. Had a roast dinner before going to beddie byes.
Friday night was meant to be going out for some drinks with Sparky. He changed his mind and he and Emma were supposed to come over to the Flat after tea for a while. But they could not even manage that cause Sparky is too slow to sort stuff out and he went for a meal and would not have been round till after nine so tosh vitoed it cause he had football in the morning. I went round to see Sara.
Saturday, got up and went back to the flat. Waited for all the boys (Jay, Drew, James, Tosh) to get themselves sorted for the night ahead. 3.30ish we set off for Bristol (going for Jays little bros birthday. Get to Bristol and go for a drink, wait for Phil and Gray to turn up have a few more drinks, I was having Coke. Phil has to go and play Poker so he ducks off at 5.30. We stay in the Adam and Eve for a while longer till Jays brothers and Dad come along. Then it is off to a local tavern call the something Taps. Nice little place which serves really strong cider. The boys all drink a few halfs of it. Play on the quiz machine for about 40 mins. Then it is off to see if we can find somewhere for some food. We split up in to two groups as some of us were not fussed if we ate or not. So Jay, Drew and I went off to the Clifton Wine Bar on route to the casino. We get a call from the others saying that they could not get in anywhere for food so have gone to the casino. We meet up with them and me a Drew hit the Blackjack, £30 each in to the pot. We play a little and the pot is up and down and up and down, we stop for a bit with £37.50 in the pot. Have a couple of drinks. Then back to the tables we make a little and lose a little again. Jay comes over and gives me £20 to use, he had just won some money on the roulette. I double his money and ask him what he wants me to do. He is a little drunk so tells me to continue, up and bit again down a bit cheating effing dealer and its all gone. Drew has also left the table now. Oh well sorry jay i say as Drew comes back and gives me £60 as he has now doubled our money. We give Jay £10 each back to cover his loss. Enough gambeling so off to another pub. Its now gone 12 and we are all a bit tired so after this drink it is off to the Food eating place whilst tosh and James go for the car. We then journey home, where i fall into a nice little sleep after turning all my clocks back an hour.

Good Morning!
Well hello everyone! I'm back at work after my week off. Glad to see there has been plenty to read on the blog in my absence.
Got lots done in the week, went to Cribbs Causeway and then out for dinner and the cinema, went down to see my mum and have my last fried brekkie before she sells her cafe, went bowling which amazingly I wasn't as crud at as I thought I would be and went to a funfair. Woohoo.
Only got onto the internet once all week to do the quiz so it's frustrating to see that i've slipped down to the bottom when I was actually doing ok this month for once!!
So, what else have I missed, did you all have a good weekend?

CGCHE Old Skool: My weekend
Thought id write about the weekend before i go to work.
First of all id like to say thank you to James (cheers for driving),Tosh, Ben and Drew for coming down to Bristol for my bro's birthday on Saturday.
After a nice 3-0 victory against the top of the league team in the morning (Tosh,Drew and i all played well) we went to Bristol for about half 4. After a few cheeky ones in the Adam and Eve with Phil and Gray we went to a pub called the Coranation Tap which serves a cider called Exhibition only in half pints as it is quite evil. My brother had 3 or 4 of these after his 6 pints of cider he had already consumed during the course of the day and was battered.
We all met in the casino after Drew,Ben,Gray and myself had a brief stop at Clifton Wine bar. Everyone who played roulette or blackjack won some money which was good (Drew and Ben won the most).
Unfortunatly my bro was in a bit of a state by this time and i ended up having to take him home before returning to the casino.
We left my dad and older bro in there and went on into town where we had a cheeky pint then some food and went home.
It was a very enjoyable evening although i did have a bit of a headache Sunday morning.
Yesterday afternoon/evening was my date with Cat and it went very well. We had a swift drink in the conservatory then went to see Saw II. Not my choice but wasn't as scary as i thought although Cat spend most of the film with her head in my chest and holding my arm which was nice. We went back to the Conservatory afterwards and spent ages chatting. We have loads in common and even had a cheeky kiss in there (i also had a quick peek at her boobs which are massive for someone so skinny). I dropped her home, had a bit more kissing and arranged to see eachother on Weds to watch fireworks in Prestbury.
All in all a very pleasant weekend.

Jays day in court
Thought i would tell you all on here to save me from ringin/textin you all. (already spoke to phil,sparky,my mum and dad and my bro's)
The day didnt start very well as i was up at 4:30am, taxi picked me up at 5:30 so was at the station in plenty of time for my 6am train. this however was cancelled and i was told i needed to catch a bus to Gloucester.
45 minutes later bus still hadn't turned up and i was told this had been cancelled too but there was a train at half 7 which would get me to Cardiff for 9am. My court case time was 10 so i got to Cardiff was picked up by my boss and got to the court in Pontypridd just in time.
We sat waiting to be called in, i was shitting myself and was surrounded by a load of drug dealers/drunks etc which wasn't imporoving my state of mind.
Eventually i was called in but my boss wasn't allowed to go in with me so i had to go it alone. There were 2 magistrates a lawyer, the prosecution and the clerk so i felt a bit intimidated. I kept having to get up then sit down then get up again it was ridiculous.
I told them i had no solicitor and gave them the letter my company had written me. They read out the charges and i said i was pleading guilty. I then had to take the oath and explain why i was speeding (i said i had a foot affliction which makes my foot go down and i can't control it) and why it would cause me extreme hardship if i was banned (i said id be homeless and have to live in a cardboard box and probably end up like the other people waiting to go in). I was grilled with a load of questions by this point i was sweating like a horse and they were making me feel like i had killed someone.
The magistrates then went of to deliberate and i sat in the corner wishing i had got a solicitor after about 10 minutes they came out and i had to stand again whilst they gave me my sentence.
They said my driving record was appalling (i was thinking this isn't a good sign) and they were fining me £150 for the offence plus £400 court costs!
I couldn't believe it but then they said "oh sorry i meant £40".
They said they had taken into account my guilty plea, the letter and what i had said and under any other circumstances i would have been banned for 6 months but they were giving me 5 points instead. They told me i had to be very careful as if i was caught again i would not have to have a court appearance i would be banned automatically.
I had to pay the £190 there and then and that was it.
Thank you all for your messages this morning, when i got out i had 10 messages of good luck which made me smile.
I shall be getting a snooper for christmas.(no ben not a snoopy)

My weekend
Thought id write about my weekend seeing as Tosh/Sparks have.
On Friday Drew and Ben went out for a few cheeky beverages (Drew made a ffriend called Amy) whilst i stayed in and had an early nite as i had a headache.
Saturday Drew and Myself went into town where we met Ben. I bought some new football boots and we went for lunch in Bentleys. The afternoon was spent watching the footie scores and a couple of Smallville episodes before we got ready and went into town for some tea at Pizza Hut.
We then proceded to Q Bar where we met Ben and James and indulged in a few games of pool accompanied by some drinks and some random drunken bird who i think was trying to get into Drews pants. There were also lots of nice ladies there for us to look at whilst hitting the coloured balls into the holes.
We ended up in Blush where drunkenness ensued and James and i managed to upset a girl called Lisa by winding her up about rugby. This was the same girl that Drew ended up walking home to the racecourse apparently still not too pleased with me and James, although she did attempt to kiss Drew which he was having none of being the gent he is and not wishing to take advantage of a drunken young lady. He then ran all the way back to Leckhampton had a shower and went to bed. I however not being of the same moral fibre as Drew had brought a girl home and had a night of banging.
On Sunday i dropped said girl back to her car and went out for Sunday lunch with Ben,Tosh and James. On my return home i went to the supermarket to get some treats for the day with Drew. We then watched some of the Chelsea game some Smalllville and Coach Carter. I also arranged a date with a girl called Cat for next weekend which i am very much looking forward to.
Today has been a bit of a non starter as i dropped my car off for a service this morning, the courtesy car they gave me soem Chevrolet piece of pump but i drove it up to Birmingham for a meeting which i discovered had been cancelled and nobody told me. So here i am at home doing some work and writing on here.
Not really looking forward to the rest of the week as i have my court case on Weds where i may receive a driving ban and then have to travel to some random northern place for a meeting Thursday/Friday meaning i miss Lee Evans which im not too chuffed about. However i am looking forward to playing footie at the weekend and going to Bristol with the boys to celebrate my little bro's birthday and hopefully a nice date on Sunday.

My Weekend
Drove up to see Emma Friday which involved doing an average of 20mph up the entire m5 and half the M6. Managed to get up to 40 at one point which was fooken ace, then hit sandbach roadworks and crawled all the way to the M56. In all took me best part of 6 hours to travel 140 miles. Ace.
After that relaxing eveing jaunt, Em had a lovely tea ready for me (aww) Candles, music, wine, spicy food, and some spicy loving :o) Shame I had to eat a couple of mars bars on the way up to stop me falling asleep at the wheel, but it was lovely.
Saturday we went to Chester, mooched around a few shops, had some lunch and then met Corrie and her Boyfriend Richard (i think, he looked like a Dick anyways - Actually he was very funny, good guy and seeing Coz was great.
Sat night we and Em then met up with her friend Caz and her boyfriend Rich, Caz is the one who went on Rita with Tosh when we went to alton towers fo rthose who dont know. We went to a very nice italian then had a few drinks in some of the choice bars in Chester.
Sunday, Caz and Rich kindly cooked us a full sunday roast, with homemade Yorkshires which were lush. Had Apple and balckberry crumble after which was also very tasty. Rich lent me a book on quitting smoking which was very nice. And I was overjoyed to see Cardiff had won 6-1 while reading the sport pages in the paper. Prem here we come :o)
Me and Em then went off to watch Wallace and Grommit which was ace. Very very good film if your after some honest humour.
Woke up this morning at 4:58 am and drove here through torrents of water arriving at work at 7:30 sharp.

I am back
Hello i had a great time away.
Yvette and I drove up to Edinburgh last friday and arrived late friday night. The next morning we got up and I drove to Glasgow to watch Hearts play Celtic at Parkhead. It was 1-1. Then we drove back to the capital and went out for a meal with my Mum and my auntie and uncle.
Sunday we didnt do much - we got up had brekkie then went back to bed to watch the new 1st 4 epiodes of lost season 2, then we fell asleep, we woke up at 4:30! we went downstairs and my Cuz Laura and her husband were there! so we spoke to them had a laff and my auntie turned up. we had a lovely Chinese.
Monday me my Mum and Yvette went up town to buy me my kilt. will look great! i also bought myself a digital camera (sony P200 7.5mg if anyone is interested!) jim also returned home that night (hes my mums bloke)
The next day was obviously Tuesday so Jim me Yvette and my Mum drove up to the Isle of Skye. we took our time, stopping at nice places and Fort William etc.
Wednesday we went rock climbing, we went on a 2hr hike to the spot we wanted to do (the bit from highlander) but it was effing windy and very low cloud then it rained, so we did a smaller bit of rock and done absailing too. great views and a lovely place - there was a loch at the top of this thing!
Thursday we looked around a sleepy village and then went to this swordmakers place as i need a Sgian Dubh. Some of the Swords and knifes and rings and Dirks and other jewllery were stunning! very expensive mind - i saw two Sgian Dubhs i wanted one was £450 and had a blue blade the other was hand carved handle for £165 i didnt end up buying one as Yvette is going to get me one for my Xmas pressie :D
Friday we travelled back to Edinburgh going a different way - not over the Skye bridge but over to a place called Maillaig on the ferry, we stopped and had lunch there and then made our way back via fort william to Edinburgh - one placce we stopped at was where we spent family hoildays when i was younger - we went on to the beach where we used to have all to ourselves, brought back so good memories - it was a georgous day too.
Saturday Yvette and I went to the Hearts V Dunfermline match at Tynecastle park, we met up with the usual crowd before hand and were talking about the departure of George Burley - mental.
After the match we went to my Mums had tea then came down the road. took just over 5hours (took a new route which is quicker between Edinburgh and a place just north of Gretna)
Sunday went out for Sunday roast with Ben, J and James. then went round the shops with James, I swapped a T-shirt my sister gave me for my birthday and I also bought a Lee Evans DVD box set of his stand up - minted! that was with the gift vouchers Yvettes mum and dad game me.
Then when Yvette came home i had cooked Haggis and Mash pots with veg and cheese sauce, and watch Coach Carter - great film. then when Ben came home we put on Wallace and gromit. then bed.
I will get photos soon :D

Sexing my iPod (Part II)
There was a time when me and my iPod could barely be separated. I knew it was a player but there was definitely love - not a dirty love like you see in porno's, it was more of a classical kind of love that you see in romantic 50's film noir.
We went and did everything together. So much so that we were almost like a music playing Darth Vader - such was the oneness of man and iPod.
Anyway, I began to fall out of love with my iPod - I just couldn't be bothered to turn it on or push the right buttons anymore. It's smooth, white curves could do nothing for me.
The reason for this cooling off between man and machine was because two broke on me...
Now though we're back on sexing terms since I discovered the 'Shuffle' option. How brilliant is that! You just never know what's coming next out of thousands of songs!
So now, the iPod and I shuffle the nights away waiting to see who is going to come next.

Quizes
Originally i thought it was good that the questions were different every time for everyone on the quizez, but now i think it would be better if for each day everyone had the same questions. Yeah people could cheat and do the quiz twice, but you would be able to see both names on the score board and the administrator should be able to make the private game invite only and limit the number of players account so only one game per person.
The only reason for my Rant is that sometimes people get easy questions on Disney films for instance and other people get questions on the colour of pants worn by the uncredited extra in some french film from 1916 which was in black and white anyway. By not having the same questions for all players for the day you cant really tell how is the best. (hey maybe i am just complaing cause i am losing this month. but still i have a point).

F-F-F-Friday
Well what can be said? End of another week what are poeple doing?
Tosh is back form the land of the Scots, with bags of porridge and haggis for all, on Saturday. It was good having the house to myself, suppose i will have to tidy up and stuff befoe they get back. The parties we have been having have taken there toll on his stuff though. His plasma is leaking plasma all over his sofas, don't think the fact they are scotch gaurded will help much! I would hoover but that was what broke the TV, it makes a grrrrrrring wooooshing noise now and sucks?? Whats all that about? I found that throwing all the plates away was easlier than washing up too. At least i kept them all out of my room so all my stuff i OK, can't gaurantee tosh and yvettes room some guy called arnold in a gimp suit was in it last i saw.
Any way enough of what i am up to what are you doing?

What to do with remaining holiday for the rest of the year?
I have 10 days fo holiday left for the year and am looking at taking a four day week from November onwards, which still leaves me with two days left over. What can i do with them?
Have a ticket to get one free pass for Alton Towers so if any one wants to come with me one day i could do that? Possibly Drew cause he missed out last time. I think it is buy one get one free during October anyway, so if anyone if up for it we could go, who cares if it rains (well i do but woiuld not complain too much queues should all be short this time of year)

Lets all wish Tosh and Yvette a merry time in Scotland for the next week. They need a well deserved break (from me) and it will be nice for him to see his mum for a week (yes i think he is mad).
I plan to be 2 stone lighter when they get back a week on saturday as i have no idea on cooking and will more than likely be wearing the same pants for the week as i don't know how to look after myself. Any tips/jints/help please people

BBC Charter (This is Why we pay)
The BBC Royal Charter
The BBC is a unique institution. Unique in the role it plays in public life. Unique in the way it is funded. Unique in the place it holds in the public’s affections.
Nearly all of us watch or listen to the BBC as well as the other public service broadcasters - ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and S4C. Whether through coverage of news and sporting events like the FA Cup, popular shows like EastEnders, or current affairs programmes like Panorama, the BBC plays a daily role in most of our lives. It is an essential part of what defines us as a nation. It is a distinctive voice that we turn to in good times and in bad.
The BBC’s activities are currently governed by a Royal Charter - a document that shapes the BBC, setting out what it is for, what it does and how it does it. The first Charter began on 1 January 1927. The current charter, the eighth, will expire on 31 December 2006.
Charter Review
Since 1927, a review has been carried out every 10 years or so to see how the BBC is serving the public and to consider its future. This process, called Charter Review, has now started.
Anyone with a television pays a licence fee. The BBC is funded by that licence fee. That gives all licence fee payers a stake in its future.
This Charter review process will be open, wide-ranging, with full public and industry consultation and with an appropriate parliamentary stage. It will bring together many strands of work including that by Ofcom and the reviews of the BBC's digital services, BBC Online and BBC News Services.
Once this latest Charter review is completed, we will be able to consider what the BBC of the future will look like.

Scott Mills is Crap
Radio One has lost a listener until Moyles returns from his holiday cause Mills is rubbish. He is a dull boring arse who is not funny at all, i think porridge is funnier than him.
Because he is on in the morning i don't listen to Jo Whiley or Colin and Edith cuase i am just listening to MP3's all day. Yvette said yesterday she turned over to Wogan on Radio 2 so she did not have to listen to Scott Mills. That does not help Chris Moles fan base after his campaign of "Say No To Wogan"

Why Why Why.....
Now it was foggy this morning on my way to work, visability of approx 300 yards (less in some places). So why did some stupid woman drive three feet off by bumper without her lights on as i drove past GCHQ?
Once i got on the motorway more crazy people did the same sort of thing! I was going a steady 70mph and people are zooming by with sidelights on at around 100mph. Now really are they in a rush to die?

Todays one was...what film did pierce brosnan star in? Golden... a) face b) eye c) arm d) toe (or some choices as random as that) Now I know the answer to that, and I also check that I am checking the boxes properly and it came back that i'd answered wrong.

I thought it was about time i contributed something to the blog and after much deliberation i felt that i wouldn't bore you all with details of the hurricane dodgers holiday in florida altho it was very good ..there is a particularly good photo of us on the Aerosmith rollercoaster with Drew looking very relaxed arms in the air, big smile on his face and me hanging on for dear life, eyes closed screamin like a girl.
I could only think of Mr Toshacks upcoming birthday celebrations this weekend (his actual b'day is on Thurs if i remember rightly) all are welcome to visit the Toshack household on Sat at 7ish bearing gifts and own booze where we shall wait for Tosh to get ready after his work jolly in Dublin.
We shall then be visiting drinking establishments of the birthday boys choice getting him lots of whisky and cokes untill he is giggling like a girl and dribbling sick from his nostrils.
Hopefully we will have a good turnout as Sparky will be joining us as he has especially suspended all other engagements and Mr Ian Britton will also be present as well as select members of the footie team (not Grant or Robin)
Anyway that is my contribution i know its not till the weekend but it gives us all something to look forward to.

JOKE #2 - by Billy Connolly
Things I hate about everybody....
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I
know where my watch is pal, where the f*ck is yours? Do I point at
my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the
entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and
change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it
too". F*cking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of
course it is. Why the f*ck would you keep looking after you've found it?
Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No
tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f*cking
floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give
me a choice there, did you sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's
new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an
improvement, then there must have been something before it.
8. When people say "life is short". What the f*ck?? Life is the
longest damn thing anyone ever f*cking does!! What can you do that's
longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the
bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?
10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to
be'. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?
11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?'
No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.
12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks
that's an image I really didn't need.
13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless
you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering.....It's has
to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank
looks...........Well I'll have a Mc Straw and jam it in your McEyes you f*cking
McTosser.
14. When you involved in a accident and someone asks 'are you
alright? Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.

"Bobby do you know what night this is?"
"No mommy what night is it?" Said Bobby as he felt along
the wall to his bedroom.
"This is wishnight, and if a child wishes real hard on
this night it will come true"
"Really???!!!!" said Bobby. "Could I see again???!!!!"
"Yes." Said his mother as she tucked him into thebed. "But only if you
wish very hard. Little Bobby sat in his bedwishing.
He wished as hard as he could. He held his breath so he
could put the energy for breathing in to wishing.
His little body rocked back and forth his finger nails cut
into the palms of his hands as hegripped them into fists. Just before 4 am
the little boy fell asleep exhausted. When his mother woke him up the next
day Bobby said.
"Mommy... Mommy... I still can't see!"

Just over a month now
Till give up smoking.
November 1st is the date and starting to gear towards it.
Have tosh threatening to hit me in the knackers every time I have a cig and paying a £5 fine which goes to charity.
Also an added incentive, I will save £300 between Nov and xmas so i will get myself an xbox 360 in January if I am still of the juice.
Reading up on it aparently the trick is to change everything you do that you most associate with smoking (breathing?). So if you wake up and have a cup of tea and a cig, You have some orange juice instead. So Im also going to get a guitar this weekend, something to keep me occupied thats different from day to day stuff I do now. Always wanted to learn how to play too.

On the way to work this morning....
... I stopped at the lights on the one way system (inner ring) and walking across the crossing was a litlle girl with her dad. The funny thing was that the little girl who was about 3 had a lead in her hand which was trailing behind her. At the end of the lead was a toy dog being dragged along, bouncing about on its head cause the collor was weighing it down.
It made me giggle like a school girl.

Any Eastenders Fans Here?
Soap Fact:
This week the storyline is set in France as Mickey is going to meet some long lost sister or something, but, although a few bits were filmed in France the majority of this weeks episodes were filmed at my Aunty & Uncle's place near London.
You should all watch! But since most of you here are guys you aren't going to be massive soap fans are you?

Something to ponder
Whilst driving to work i noticed i had a cobweb between my door and wing mirror, making me think why do spiders live there? Dothey really think they can catch a fly as i drive about? Or are they simply commuting between places (fecking hitch-hikers).
This then made me think how long does it take for a cobweb to degrade? Which made me think about Spider-man and why there are not loads and loads of used webs about New York? If his do dissolve how long does it take? Could a henchman be tied up at the start of a hiest and then escape cause the web as dissolved whilst Spidey is fighting the ring leader? Or do they end up going to jail still stuck, cause he stopped a train in the second film with his webs making you think they are like steel or something? Can the police cut it?
Do you think Spidey gets soaked when it rains? Come to think of it has it ever rained on him in the films whilst he is wearing the costume?

Ben (Destroyer of all things nutritional) = 66
jamesphe (The mysterious player who I do not know) = 60
Jonneyboy (That's Sir to you) = 59

Tosh (Porridge Wog) = 55
Yvette (Ah, she's sweet eh?) = 54
Sparks (Do not leave round flammable liquid) = 48
Col (Could only afford half a name) = 7
Drew (Too busy to play, or just dumb?) = 6
Who will win, only our knowledge of films that are pap will decide.

Fantasy Football
So, with the help of someone from work i've amended my team a bit this week in an attempt to get off the bottom of the league! I think the only time I wasn't bottom was when I was on holiday!
Do we get to see who else everyone else has bought, and if we do, what day/when can we do that?

Definition of an Organisation
The organization is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different
limbs at different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down.
The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces.
The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but assholes.

Top Tips
DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.
CINEMA goers: Please have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by having a p**s before the film starts.
RAPPERS: Avoid having to say 'know what I'm sayin' all the time by actually speaking clearly in the first place.
DON'T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements.
WORRIED that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Simply drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains.
SOLDIERS: Invest in a digital camera to avoid all that court martial tomfoolery after a trip to Truprint.
MURDERERS: Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again.
BURGLARS: When fleeing from the police, run with your right arm sticking out at 90?, wrapped in a baby mattress in case they set one of their dogs on you.
EMPLOYERS: Avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin.
MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire; then turn it down three notches. This will save your wife from having to do it.
GAMBLERS: For a new gambling opportunity, try sending £50 to yourself by Royal Mail.
BANGING: two pistachio nutshells together gives the impression that a very small horse is approaching.
ALCOHOL: makes an ideal substitute for happiness.
DRIVERS: If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.
PREVENT burglars stealing everything in the house by simply moving everything in the house into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, simply move it all back again.
CAR thieves: Don't be discouraged when nothing is on view. All the valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat.
DEPRESSED people: Instead of attempting suicide as a 'cry for help', simply shout 'Help!' thus saving money on paracetamol, etc.
MOTORISTS: Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone whilst driving.
Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.
JEREMY Beadle: When selling DVDs on your TV advert, hold the disks in your bigger hand so that they do not appear to be the size of laser disks.
SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.
SINGLE men: Convince people that you have a girlfriend by standing outside Etam with several bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.
BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping the egg into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60 mph. After 3 miles, phone your wife and tell her to take the egg out the pan.
ALCOHOLICS: don't worry where the next drink is coming from. Go to the pub, where a large selection is available at retail prices.
McDONALD'S: Make your brown carrier bags green in colour so they blend in with the countryside after they've been thrown out of car windows.
And finally
WOMEN: Don't waste energy faking orgasms. Most men couldn't give a s **t anyway and you could use the saved energy to hoover the house afterwards

Got to a place for lunch and ordered 4 cheeseburgers and 2 club ssandwhich. came to 100 pounds!! 30% is put on everything for tax!! bloody expensive. SO we did buy booze at duty free and put them in water bottles - all night all i havd was 2 whiskeys in a small bottle of water bottle and one of vodka (with coke not straight) so i wasnt that pissed when i spoke to Yvette - seriously i was just over ther moon and couldndt really hear - i was nicly tipsy. we went to a pub after the match and i drank water. got to the hotel at 11:30 as we were knackered.
slept till 10 and got up went to a 7-11 for a hot pasty for lunch and made our way to the airport.

So Tosh set off at 1.30
After a couple of hours sleep the Two Tosh's set off at 1.30 to Norway this morning to watch their beloved Scotland. All the best boys but no offence they are not really going to qualify are they? Sod it lets be positive COME ON SCOTLAND ! There needs to be an easy group at the world cup.
On another match the build up for England vs N.Ireland has started, looking for a 2-0 win or better from the boys. So it will probably be 1-0 to them.

The Flower of Scotland!
Walter Smiths Tartan Army!
I am leaving to Norway Tomorrow at 1:30am (yawn) flying from Stanstead. i am coming back on thursday night.
Cant wait should be fantastic. Me and me bro are meeting up with guys we met in Switzerland last year. so there will be 8 of us i think.
the trouble is that the place is expensive - £7 for a slice of pizza and £8 for a pint - god knows what it will be for whiskey!! So we are buying alcohol etc before we go (or in duty free) and drinking it in the town square instead of going into pubs.
I have friday off too - i may blog if i can be arsed and let you know how it was.

Monday Morning Blues
Well its the start of another week at work only 5 more days till the weekend again!
Well what did people do this weekend? We went out for a couple of drinks on Friday to unwind from the weekend. I was home by 11.30 and tucked up in bed by midnight. On Saturday Tosh, Drew, Jay, Graham and I went to the pub to watch the England v Wales match. Had some lunch and drank some beers. Game was alright not amazing. Then we went back to the flat and watched the Scotland v Italy game, bad luck Scotland finally ended at 1-1. James came round he was also breifly in the pub earlier. So after that game we got ready to go out. Down to the pub for more beers and into town. Tosh left early as he has football in the morning, so it left Gray, Jay, Drew and I to go to some clubs and get even more drunk. Can't remember much else as i was too drunk.
Sunday woke up and watched old films on Sky movies, went to tesco and brought food for a roast, cooked that and in the evening Tosh, Yvette, James and I went to the cinema to see 40 year old vigin, which is very funny and good. I recomend it.
