Long Weekend

Well back to work on Tuesday after a nice long weekend

Friday Sparky and Emma came over for dinner which was very nice.

Saturday tidied the flat for ben to come in (we both had a couple of hrs off to meet pals - James and i went to get bike accessories)

Sunday tidied the flat for ben to come in. Had a lovely lunch with him in the lansdown tho - after we cam back from Yvettes mums and dads where we fed her cat and i cleaned my motor.

Monday was in B&Q at 9:30 buying stuff for the flat. then Yvette and i went into town for lunch and I bought her a bag and me a new diesel watch. We got a curry and watched harry potter 3 - those films are wank!

Ben still hasnt stayed the night - i think we are just storing his stuff ;)

Jack Bauer Season one kills

I hope this guy does this for the other seasons and add more in :D

Yvette Finally aceppted

woo hoo Yvette has joined the blog at last!

IT'S ONLY BLOODY FRIDAY !!!!!

Yes once again the weekend is here, but the good news is it is a three day weekend, god bless bank holidays. The only unsettleing thing is soon it will be September, kids go back to school (they should be there all the time, so they get a feeling for the real world). Soon the leaves will fall from the tree's, Christmas decorations will be going up in a few weeks (months before christmas WTF?) which by the way is only 100 days away !!! You may think thats ages away but it will be on us in no time, how depressing.

But hey i will be happy about the three day weekend we have now !! Woo Hooo !

Oh and when i was on the way to work, Doing the speed limit, ahhumm, i was getting flashed and waved at by a car. I slowed down just in case and still they flashed and waved at me. So i'm thinking WTF? So i take a better look in my rear-view mirror and see a tiny man driving an Astra Estate behind me, ikle wee Jay Barrett. So i waved back to my friend

Don't forget Lost tonight

New episodes of Lost tonight for us to watch tonight. Channel 4 watches can see the back story to Locke and how he got to the island. Whilst the Jack fans can see a bit of his back story on E4 at 11.

What happened at the Football Last Night

Well we went to the football last night and watched Cheltenham thrash Brentford 5-0. We missed Cheltenham opening goal as the steward sent us to the wrong gate, then once we got there we had to go all the way round back where we came from to get in (not saying the guy was thick, just retarded). So we miss the first goal, we find our seats and settle down to what we expect to be a fairly dull match. Brentford are able to play a few balls up to make some half arsed attacks, but get cut down quickly by Cheltenham. So then the Robbins are able to attack and ther reverse happens. It carries on like this for the majority of the first half. Towards the end of the first half the Robbins start to take conrtol of the game.

Second half and Cheltenham are shooting towards the home crowd, the poor Brentford keeper Stuart Nelson is in for some stick. The second half is explosive. Simple to say Brentford are shown how to play football with Cheltenham scoring 4 goals this half. The pressure is getting to every one from the Brentford team and one supporter in the terrace, suprisingly just an 8 year old boy from what we could see. The Brentford manager hurles the ball at one of his own players at one point. Things were not going well, and they ended badly too with as stated a 5-0 drumming.

However, it is important to look at when the goals were scored. One in the first half when Cheltenham were shooting away from the home crowd. The other four scored in the second half not because they were shooting towards the home crwod, but due to the fact Stuart Nelson was near the home crowd, where we taunted him for the complete 45 mins. When ever he had the ball we shouted "Stttteeeeeewwwwwiiieeee" or "Hucknall Town Reject" (even though Hucknall Town were non league and now he get £10,000 from Brentford) or other taunts, causing Stewie to lose his concentration. Allowing me to shout out the following just before a corner "Back Post Stewie" and sure enough it's were the ball went and Cheltenham scored, he should have listened. So i tried it again "The Back of the net Stewie!" and sure enough the ball floats by him to the back of the net. He should have listened!

Fantasy Football

Flippin heck, you go away for one week, Spurs sell one of your players to a foreign team, you come back and find he's now worth £1 (a drop of about £8) and you can't sell him to buy someone else.

I think i'm destined to be at the bottom of the league forever.

Morning

Hello all!

Yep, i'm back from Spain - how are you all doing?

I had a nice time, I went to the pool and to the beach copious amounts of times and on a boat trip to an island in the Mar Menor that had a little restaurant on it. I've got a pretty good tan too if I do say so myself! It was over 30 degrees every day but there were a few cloudy days.

I had Emma here this weekend too, we went to Exeter for a bit of shopping and for drinks on the quay, then to Teignmouth to see my mum and then Woollacombe to top up my tan.

I'm off to trawl the blog to read what you've been up to this last week...

Holiday Next Week

Yey me and Emma are off to sunny cornwall for a week leaving this saturday - cant wait.
We were going abroad, but Em doesnt have a passport and it now costs £90 to get one the same week.

This is where we are staying http://www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk/propdetail.asp?propref=866 looks nice :D

Another Week is stretched out of us

Monday mornings oh so depressing !! So glad there is not one next week Bank Holidays are great.

Did not do much over the weekend just gone. Went of for some beers Friday night with Jay, (edit out James) and Drew. Which was NICE. Saturday was spent watching TV, and also Ladder 49 which is a good film. Then Jay, James and I went to see The Island at the ceinema which was brilliant, really good. Had a couple of beers after but relativly an early night. Sunday was Grand Prix and TV.

Tip's for the Day

If you are looking for a reputable tradesman, note the name and numbers of vans parked by schools, hospitals and other public buildings. The government rely on established craftsmen who they know won't get then sued.

I FEEL ROUGH

Glad the webcam aint pointing at me!

Physio Room Link

Have added a link to Physio Room so people can see if the players they have in the fantasy team are actually playing or when they should be match fit again.

london highlights

last night went out at about 6:30. well was in the hotel bar at 6:30. left there and went to get some grub at a fish restaurant, had haddock - very nice.

We went to another couple of bars then we went to a karaoke place. we had our own wee room with all the stuff so we could select our own songs and sing to our hearts content - pretty good fun :) we were in there for 2 hours. as we were leaving we stumbled into somone elses karaoke room and we were all given copious amounts of saki. i think i had 6 or so. that was nice!

got a taxi home then phoned Yvette then slept. got a phone call this morning at 8 from a guy at work telling me he wont be coming intoday.........cheers then!

got to the office just before 10. i will be leaving at about 3 so i can go get my car and drive home to go to see willy wonka with Yvette :D

Lost

Watched the first 2 episodes last night with Drew and Jay and Yvette.

Have to say it was good, but somewhat predictable, which was confirmed by me being able to guess bits about it, such as the girl picking shoes about the deadmans body, the pilot being alive, and then being eaten. As i commented this outloud the boys got mightily pissed off and accused me of having seen it before. Which I havent, Im just talented.

Anyways, my theroy for the whole series is that they have somehow hit a paralell dimension, which would leave them being, well quite lost. But fooked really. We seen the polar bear which looks mean but I think the bears are working for some higher power... I think the island is ruled by golden retrievers, killer ones. They are pissed for being made to chase balls and frisbies all their lives and are now conducting some sort of weird experiment of their own on humans, in an effort to get us back.

Yes i think thats a very sound and well thought out theory. Cant wait to see the next episode to see if I'M right.

Wheres Tosh?

The Webcam is on…….. but where am I?

I have come to the London Office as I am going out tonight with our PR company who we are parting ways with.

So arrived in the city last night and stayed at my pals house. I woke up at 5:30 for two reasons a) was HOT as I was in my PJ’s (was sleeping on their bed settee in the living room ½ nekkid or fully nekkid wasn’t an option) and b) I was alone………no Yvette - altogether now………….awwwwwwwwww

We left the flat at 7:30 walked up to tooting Bec station and hoped on the tube. And got to the office at 8:15ish.

I will let you know what tonight is like tomorrow.

Weekend

It was good.

after going home early on friday after being ill and sleeping for the afternoon I set off with Drew ben and Yvette to the aforementioned wedding. it was a good laugh especially when drew and ben found out they would have to share a bed together :D hahaha. I will let ben tell you all about the wedding.

Saturday went for a shit lunch at a pub near GCHQ. took 1 hour to come and it was wank. Saturday night me and Yvette stayed in and relaxed - oh and watched Lost- which we found to be good - but i was hoping that the thing in the jungle wasnt going to be a dinosaur or monster or something gash!

Sunday I went to D'boys house to watch footy, even happier that Hearts won again! top of the league and 2 points clear - nice! hopefully we will compete for the whole season but we shall wait and see.

drew and J also made a lovely roast dinner.

Spain

Well hello everyone! I'm only working till 12ish today and then i'm off to finish packing and then i'm off to Spain for the week. I am flying by myself this afternoon and am being a big baby about it, but since i'm flying from Exeter I can't really go too wrong (well i'm crossing my fingers and downing rescue remedy so i'll be fine!) I've treated myself to a new bikini and lots of new travel sized beauty products so i'll console myself with those! I'll take some pictures to show you - of Spain that is, not of my new products!

Anyway, I fly back on Thursday and have then got Emma (and possibly Gail) coming down until the Monday and then i'm back at work on Tuesday. The following week is Enrolment week at work for all the new students so i'm gonna disappear under a mound of work...I need to win the lottery before then basically and then I never need go back!

Well have an exciting week, post lots of things for me to read when I get back!

Helen's Wedding

Well for all those who know Helen Bassett she is getting married today. Drew, Tosh, Yvette and I are going to the reception this evening. Emma and Annie (Helen's old house mates) are going to the whole she-bang !! Anyway i am sure it will be fun and we will all let you know how it went on Monday, may even be pictures if i take my camera.

Then on Saturday night Drew, Jay, James and I are going to Oxford (not to see Colin) but to go to the Comedy Club for Annies birthday, again maybe pictures if i take a camera else you will just get a verbal description of the whole affair.

What are you lot got planned?

Open 24

Something to break the boredom

(sing to Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the cradle)

Did you ever think, when you eat chinease,
That it aint pork or chicken, but a fat siamease,
but the food tastes great so you dont complain
But that aint chicken in my chicken chow mein
Scuse me but I think I ordered Sweet and sour pork,
But Garfield's on my fork, he's purring here on my Fork

The cats in the kettle at the peaking moon, the place where I eat every day at noon
They can serve you cat and you never know, one they wrap it up in dough
They are bright real crisp in dough.

Chow lin asked if I wanted more
As he was walking out the restraunt to the old pet store
I said not today, I lost my appeitite
There's two cats in my belly and they want to fight
I was sucking on a rollaid and a tums or two, when i swear hear it Mew...

The cats in the kettle at the peaking moon, the place where I eat every day at noon
They can serve you cat and you never know, one they wrap it up in dough
They are bright real crisp in dough.

LOST

So who watched Lost last night? I watched all three episodes 2 on channel 4 and the 3rd on e4. I thought it was great looks like it will be as good as 24, I know what i will be doing for the next 21 weeks on a wednesday night. Finding out how Jack, Kate, and all the other castaways fair on the island!

What did you think? Did you watched it?

What am I up to?

Right now Im typing at the kwyboard with 1 hand and balancing an exploding cheese and pickle sandwhich in the other.

Cheese and pickle... yum, why arnt sandwiches like they used to be any more? Goto Boots or Sainers and every single sandwhich sold has Mayo in it. Disgusting.... What ever happened to Tuna, Cheese pickle? Ham and Pickle, Egg? You know the good ol days.

Anyways rant over. Back is hurting today. Played Footie last night for the first time in about a year and half. Played in what can only be described as a big marquee which was filthy hot. Felt very very unfit, heck did it hurt. But when my little legs got running i didnt do too bad, scored 4 Goals, (2 more than Drew) but to be fair he did set me up with all of mine, he also hit the post about 5 times, managed to skin a few of the "proper" footie players which was fun. Felt like throwing up a few times, all in all quite enjoyable and I didnt smoke from about 4 to 10 last night which is a first for me.

So what's everyone up to today then?

I am really bored at work - I've got loads of crud jobs to do this week. I am also tired - I went out to the pub quiz last night. We did pretty rubbish as usual and I had a mild hangover when I woke up today.

Still, i'm off on my holidays as of Friday arvo. Going to Spain again with the ex for a little while and then Emma is coming down for a long weekend and we are gonna hit the beaches in Devon...may come to Exmouth if you're around Jonno?

It means I won't do well overall on the quiz this month cos i'll miss a week. Still, I heard one of my fantasy football team being mentioned loads on the radio this morning so hopefully i'll still do well in that!!

Come on then, give me some goss or something to make my day go quicker!

Fantasy Football

Has anyone started this yet?

I've just read the rules and you have to pick your first team by Saturday. I have got my little guide to the Premiership that I got free with The Sun this weekend to study before I make my choices! Think it's a bit like Celebdaq but with footballers.

traffic and football

Friday night the lads had a poker night - it was down to Ben me and drew to win. Drew couldnt be arsed so went "all in" and lost so that left ben and i - Ben won as he had more chips, so after a few rounds bet big and won. it was a good laugh. Drew could/would have won it i think if he didnt give in - well it would have been close between him and ben.

Saturday picked up my shiny new bike - it is ace. Then cycled to the boys house where my car was from the night before and drove J and myself to Bristol to watch City V Doncaster Rovers. the bastard was it took us 2hours to get there - damn caravans!

The game wasnt the best - 0-0 thriller. then on the way home there had been a crash so we were stuck again for 20mins or so!

Saturday had a plesent night in with Yvette.

Sunday Yvette and i drove to Cardiff to see my brothers new house but more importantly watch the Edinburgh Derby.
His house will be very nice once the builders have finished knocking down walls etc. On the way into cardiff we got stuck in traffic for a few miles (community sheild traffic).

we left before the community sheild finished to miss the traffic - but we were till held up (motorway goes to 2 lanes through a tunnel) for 1/2 hour or so.

Last night i read my new book - it is the newest in the "Skinner series" of books by Quintin Jardine - effin excellent books. highly recommended - them and Ian Rankins Rebus books.

and that thats folks

Who thinks that it is cheating if ......

people play the quiz at the weekend when the majority of the people who play can and do only do it at work monday to friday?

I thought the unwritten rule was to play only monday to friday, i know i have played the weekend in the past but only if someone else had aswell, but still i think we should all agree not to do it. it is unfair on the people who don't do it.

Just made me giggle, think I have made an appearance on Rssia's most wanted?

If coconut oil comes from coconuts, where does baby oil come from?

There are several different ways to produce baby oil, however, one of the most common is to make a simple blend of mineral oils. Mineral oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a chemically inert transparent colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. Mineral oil is commonly used as a lubricant and a laxative.

Some Quiz Trivia

Of 11359 active tournaments, Tosh's Terrific Trivia was #2036 in terms of popularity yesterday.

more info here

It too easy if i win every day

The quiz screwed me, it did the sparky curse on me and did not load correctly and gave me the error message, so i have to wait 1700 seconds before i could get the page to load with questions. So even though i got 9 right the time put me last. Oh well never mind, only a couple of points behind the leaders and its the beginning of the month so i am sure i can catch up and whoop you all again.

Weekend and Quiz

Hi everyone,

my weekend was good, well friday night wasnt, was out but called out a couple of times so i went home at 11pm :(

Saturday I went out shopping with James, J, Ben and Sparks - well Sparky buggered off to be with the girls - poof!

I got 2 pairs of jeans and I got the new sony phone - which was gonna be £160 but blagged it and got it for £40. WOO HOO.

I also ordered a bike - which is nice. coming next week.

Saturday night people came around and we played Simpsons Game of live and watched the Life aquatic with Steve Zissou (which was ok)

Yesterday i sorted out my phone numbers on my phone (interesting) and tried to fix my rip in my roof - didnt work glue was shit.

last night the boys went to the cinema - well i say boys J's bird and pal came - which I didnt know so I didnt invite Yvette as i thought it was just a lads night - bugger.

As for the quiz, it is a new month so lets see if we can beat Ben. I started the ball running but only got 5! - so probably not going to win today!!!! :(
