I am Sueing Jay

Yesterday my shoulder blade felt like it had been ripped out and replaced with PAIN. That TV is a health hazard and you should expect to be served with the appropriate papers this week. I am looking to take you to the cleaners, or at least get the £3 you owe me for the munchies sandwich i got you!!!

Trip!

On Friday I'm stepping onto a plane which is taking me to Dublin for a company conference. It will be the usual stuff - turnover / profit for '06 followed by expected turnover / profit for '07 followed by boozing in Dublin, a night in a hotel then a swim home. Should be top especially as I'm gunning for the Employee Of The Year award - how can I not win?

Looking at my plane ticket I can't take any luggage which surely isn't correct - this could prove problematic if my pants fail during the shenanigans. Must investigate.

What I will be looking for in Ireland:

- Somewhere to smoke
- Potatoes
- Leprechauns
- Rainbow (with pot of gold)
- Ginger Hair
- Stephen

Not as exciting as forgotten glasses or iPod speakers some might say, but it could be worse.

my tale

I am in London today. I got up at 5:15am. I walked to the train station and bought a ticket to paddington including Zone 1 on the underground - it cost £120!

I got the 6:10 train. because of a derailment we were held up and so didnt get to the office until 10:30! how annoying.
Seeing as i was late this morning anyway i stopped into one of the many electronics shops next to the office to look at the ipod speakers ;). The New JBL radial is good - looks good and great sound - no remote though. The apple one has very very good sound and has a remote - but looks like a lego brick. the bose one i think it is that I will get at some point.

I was to have a meeting at 10am but was postponed till 11. it finished at 12:15 and i have just been to one of the many shops nearby - i got noddles and sweet and sour chicken as my train is at 5:50 tonight therefore wont have a decent dinner.

How is that for a Tale John ;) not quite as interesting as ben and his glasses.

Forgot my Glasses

I seem to have forgotten my glasses today, i only need them whilst i am concentrating, why do i bring them to work i hear you ask? So i can see the screen and talk to people on MSN and do the quiz sometimes.

I am glad however, the giant pile of work i had to do seems to have vanished overnight:)

Either that or i just can not see it!!!

New Scam

I'm not one for usually sending on junk e-mails about potemtial scams as I hate them , but I had a close miss over the weekend. I walked into B&Q earlier on sunday and some old guy dressed in orange asked me of I wanted decking. Fortunately I got the first puch in and that was the end of that. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky: be aware!

Weekend Update

Hey everyone, just wondering what everyone did at the weekend? Did the boys win the football? Did Drews hand fall off due to infection in his wound? Did Cheltenham miss it's drunken wild child? Did the economy bomb cause i did not spend too much money on alcohol?

I was away this weekend as you can tell. I got drunk on Friday night in Northampton, well a village outside of it with my friend. Went in to Northampton Town on Saturday, walked around the centre, which is a shit hole now. Did see my gran and Great Aunt and had a coffee with them. Then spent the rest of the weekend with my friend (You know who i mean Sis).

Shity Car tax proposal

The government's proposal ( Commons December the 29th 2006) to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it. The tracking devices cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver. A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month. On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedom and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and pass this on to as many people as possible.

My xmas and NY

Hello

just a quicke.

xmas i spent at Yvettes mum and dads house. was really good ate loads and Yvette and her family inc grandparents and aunties spoiled me rotten. Yvette got me a Video ipod - fecking ace!

Boxing day went up to edinburgh after watching the game of the decade in my flat - Hearts V Hibs - a stormer - hearts were 2-0 up 3 mins into 2nd half. Hibs came back to 2-2 had someone sent off, hit both posts at the same time and we scored to make the final score 3-2. it was an ace game. but i was watching it on my own in my living room but still jumping around like a loon.

was up in edin till friday morning was nice to see everyone.

NYE everyone came to mine for an impromptu party - ben took lots of pics so hopefully he will post them. it was an ace night. about 20 people came.

most people left at 10:30 to go to blush but i stayed in with Bro and Mezz as she is expecting as you all know. there was 4 other people too. was really nice.

The next morning me and Emma were ok but Sparks and Yvette were feeling rough- i had 3/4 bottle of whiskey but was ok :D

Last night Yvette James and myself went to see night at the Museum, was really funny. entertaining movie. :D right better get back to work.

On My Own for Two Weeks

I am all on my Own in my house for Two weeks, as my housemates are all away.

I don't think i can look after myself i may need a care assistant to look after me

Good Morning

Well good morning everyone, happy new year too! Did you all have a good break? I can't believe it has gone so quickly! Coming back to work today sucks.

So what did you all get up to? I went up to London to see Emma the night before Gail's wedding. We made a slight mistake at going out for a "few" drinks the night before since we had to get up early to get to Bedford and then after visiting far too many pubs in Bethnal Green and then Shoreditch we rolled in at 3.30am! We had to spend the whole train journey to Bedford with them playing xmas tunes! We felt so rough!

The wedding was good - Emma and I didn't know a single other person so apart from at the dinner where we got to meet people we were pretty much by ourselves. Gail looked lovely and in typical Gail and Chris style they got absolutely wasted on alcohol and had a right knees up, it was great! Gail ripped a massive hole in the front of her dress much to her amusement!

Christmas was ok, had everyone at mine which was a tight squeeze and they are all so messy!! I then went down to my mums for a second christmas too.

Then I was off to Spain, we spent most days out and about because it was really warm there and most nights just drinking in the apartment because not a lot is open there in the evenings. NYE we spent in the apartment and then went down on the beach to see in the new year by watching the fireworks across the mar menor which were impressive, then because we were an hour earlier than you, came back and watched the UK fireworks on sky in the apartment.

Flew back into Bristol last night and didn't get home until midnight so i'm so tired today and had forgotten that there is a million and one boring staff development things to do today. I'm hoping to upload all my photos onto my msn space at some point to show you all!!

Anyway i'll stop rambling now and will wait for someone else to post!!...
