Back From Edinburgh

Yesterday met up with my Auntie in town and had lunch outside a nice hotel, steve and i had sausage and chips
I was lovely but for £10 i would have expected more than two big sausages and 16 chips stacked up on top of each other - fecking poncy! nice mind.

we then walked around town with my cousin to find me a pair of shorts as i was sweating my cobs off in my jeans. found a pair then went to the 3 sisters pub and sat outside in the sunshhheeeeine.

went to another pub to meet pals of ours and after a few drinks ( i was only drink irn-bru) we went to the match.

1st half was pants - we created tons of chances but couldnt score with £400 in a brothel. but then the 2nd half came and the found their shooting boots - scoring 3 (one was an own goal)

the draw is tomorrow for the 2nd round and next week is the 2nd leg of this round - so with 3 goal advantage we should be ok! on BBC scotland so will be tuning in for that!

got into work this morning at 11:30 - which is nice - didnt take a 1/2 day or anything - i will just work late tonight or sommit.

Nice Suprise

Came into work today to find after 2 months my company are so imprssed I have a 4% pay rise.

Cant be bad :O)

Superman Returns

Well James, Drew, Rusty and I went to see Superman Returns last night. Hotdog and drink in my hand I settle into the film. Begins with the same style credits from the first Superman film with Christopher Reeve, it was so fricking brilliant. We find out Superman has been away for 5 years in space, but are not really told where yet. Clark returns to the daily planet and Lex Luthor is up to his old criminal mastermind tricks (I need to point out that I read the novelization of the film online.) There were the obvious bits here and there which were omitted due to running time. The beginning of the book talks about him going back to look for Krypton after reading a newspaper article saying there may be life there still. Only to find a dead planet that is laced with Kryptonite which almost kills him. He only manages to say the word home and his crystal spaceship fly's him back to smallville, explaining the reason he collapses when Martha finds him in the field. Ok then the film and Book followed the same lines. All going good, Lex putting his plane into action, Superman returning to the world, Clarke finding out that everything has changed blah blah blah, However, there is a sudden bombshell which I do not agree with that comes towards the end of the film. I am going to have to write a letter to Brian about this problem. I totally agree with Banky from Mallrats on the whole issue!! It's just not possible and I so wrong, I had to block it out of my mind in order to enjoy the final act of the film, only to be reminded about it at the end. Wrong Wrong Wrong WRONG.

Be warned comments may contain film spoilers.

My Weekend

Was absolutely ace!

On Friday my good friends Ben and Jay came down to Southampton (either they really wanted to see me or just couldnt think up a poor excuse to get out of seeing me). Emma was away in Chester to see her friends one of which was going back to australia. Anyway, while the girl was away the boy could play. The boys arrived at about 7:30 friday night and we had some beers and got ready and went out to the Casino about 9pm. We decided to put £10 each into a kitty and try to win beer money for the weekend. It didnt go too well, and we had to put some extra funds in but in the end we were about a £5 short of what we paid in, which Ben looked after and we went off to a club.

Southampton is ace because of one thing... EVERYWHERE is free entry before 12. So no £5 or £10 to get in so more beers. Drinks are cheaper, music is better and clubs are bigger so more room to breathe. We spent the night in this super type club listening to some sun drenched flavours which Jay diddnt really like. But after an hour we realised we could goto the feeder bar next door which was playing some R&B which everyone was happy with and we merrily danced till the early monring.

After having no tea cos ofcourse because eating is cheating we decided we needed some sustanance before our insides imploded, so we headed off through the back lanes towards infamous "Chippy Alley" which is about 10 mins walk from the club and 5 mins walk to my flat.

Just off one of the main roads in Southampton about 4 feet away from a footpath which ran along side Asda Jay discovered a guys naked bum heaving one into a speard eagled girl. It was one of those moments where you dont want to stare but your mind is drunkedly thinking... " Surely he is not heaving one into her outside Asda???" It gets worse are you walk by and hear the faint slap slap slap of balls hitting buttocks and Jay digustedly shouting "Get a room, oh god ewwwwwwww get a god dammed room", and it dawns on you that yes indeed two ugly people are having sex outside asda. Needsless to say that became our topic of conversation for most of the weekend, and looking back, we all wished we could have sung the asda theme tune and doing the da da while walking past them.

Anyways we managed to find chippy alley where we stupidly decided to all have kebab. Also known and dead cat. After eating our fill we went to bed about 4. Next morning was spent mostly on the toilet before we headded off for some lunch. During lunch we discussed many differnet theolgical and philissophical topics such as imagining you bum was your face and your face was your bum, how would that work and also what is..... cow minus banana???? I guess you had to be there. But my sides hurt so badly from laughing I could hardly breathe. Ace!

The rest of sat afternoon was spent recovering. Em was back from chester so we had some peacefuls until about 7pm. Most noteable thing we did that afternoon was watch Erasure on MTV. We then got ready and headded off to bournemouth. Went into So bar again just to prove it wasnt a fluke and yes i can certifiably guarrantee that virtually every girl in the club was stunning. Few obvious exceptions but on the whole, 99% of that bar's clientelle is just pure talent.

One of Emma's friends Claire text me to say she was out with her brother so we headed off to a bar called Bliss which had a big downstairs dancefloor. It was more summertime flavour music, but by this point we really diddnt care. After about 4 beers me and Jay were practicly floored so we decided to dance where Jay amazingly began to dance exactly like Erasure!!!! that set the tone and we did stupid dance moves all night, shouting out various topics like "Cowboy dance" and "Asda Price", "Erasure". We were getting pretty good at it too until I ruined it by shouting "Nipples" and ripping shirt open in a Magnum Pi style which caused Ben and Jay to almost collapse with laughter. Anyways we seen claire and jay verified "Shes pretty fit" and headded home about 2.

Spent sunday saying goodbye to the boys and saying hello to Em and Em's sister and her Boyfriend Steve. I slept most the afternoon away but had a nice evening with the girl.

Have to say by pure comedy that had to be one of best weekends and cheers for coming down Ben and Jay was simply ace and I hope Ben it was a good start to your birthday week for you.

My Birthday Weekend by Ben Cornelius Aged 28

FRIDAY
Well it all started on Friday, forgot my lunch so went hungry all day until 6 pm when I got home and ate 4 left over sausages which were meant for my sandwich at lunch that I did not make. Then it was off to Jay's to set off for Southampton to see Sparkle. Had a nice drive down there took 1h40ish. Once at Sparkles, which is the hottest flat in the world due to geothermal heating, we basically started drinking. At about 9ish we head off into town, on the way we stumble into the Casino, we all chuck £10 in and play the roulette, win some, lose some, lose some more. I also go off and play Blackjack up, down, even, down, up and back to even. We ended up leaving the casino with £40 in the kitty for drinksI i also robbed one of Sparks £5 chips walked over to the blackjack laid it down told hIm i would win him money, got blackjack right away and gave him back £12.50. We left the casino and went to a club, money ready to pay at the door, but it was free so more for the bar. VK was £2 a bottle so Jay and I had those and sparks drank Vodka Redbull. Once the kitty was spent we kept buying more and got very very very drunk. The main room we were in played Dance and we were not having the best of times until we went to another room that had the R'n'B that Jay and I needed. So we danced and drank and danced and drank some more. Before we knew it it was 3am and home time. The alcohol was telling us to get a Kabab, so we trekked off for chip alley. Wandering this way and that making sure Sparky did not drag us into the casino again. Up this road and that, walking past shops. We take a right up past Asda, when what do we see!!! Only 10 feet away on the grass?? There is a guy with his trousers round his ankles pounding away at some lucky lady who is laid on her back legs in the air. Jay shouts "GET A ROOM", his rhythm is uninterrupted he was getting the Asda price. We shout various other things as we pass, Sparky stares a little too long, he was very drunk and he is nearly legally blind and it was dark his eye had to focus on the full moon in front of him. Anyway we giggle and walk on, stumble across chip alley and get a Kabab, wIich i will say now was not a good idea, although we did not know this at that point. So we eat and finally get back to sparks where we all crash out, Jay on the sofa, me in the spare room and Sparks in his room. The drink inducing an alcohol coma.

SATURDAY
Bright and eIrly i wake up, look at my watch and see it is 7am, i really Iish i had closer the blinds in the room. I get up and go to the toilet. Ihen i go into the lounge to see Jay who is also awake due to the blinding sun. Stick the TV on and watch that for a bit, also start playing Ghost Recon on the 360. Stomach rumbles, back to the toilet, this continue for the rest of the morning, Jay also feels like bad. We had officially been poisoned by Captain Kabab and his alcohol army!!! By about 1 we are ready to get something to eat, its sunny outsIde, i come out and its raining like a bitch, so we go off to McDonalds for some quality family dining. Sparks also takes us to Tesco's so he can get some food for him and Emma (who had been away for the night with friends for a leaving do in Chester) We are all still a little drunk and continue to talk what can only be called utter jibberish about random stuff which started in McD's. Any way back to TescI's, i pick up a little cake for us all so we can have a slice each for my birthday. We get back to spark's flat Emma is back from Chester, we have a cuppa and lounge about a feeling ill. 7pm comes around so it is time to get ready for a night in Bournemouth, shower, get dressed decide to get something to eat on route (but don't). We head off at 7.40Ish, i drive the boys in Sparks car, which is nice if a little plastic inside, get over to B-mouth park the car and head to Bar So, get some drinks in and enjoy the view, it's just full of lovely ladies everywhere, the boys drink a couple of pints then we remember we did not put a ticket in the car for parkingI so i head back and get a ticket sorted. Ticket sorted so back at the bar, the boys realise that if they continue to drink Beer they could get messy so they switch to the spirts. I need to point out that before we left Sparks flat we saw an Erasure video on MTV, this fueled the style of dancing for the night. So we are in Bar So on the back floor with Jay and Sparks waving their arms in a windmill fashion out of time in an 80's style, but actually managing to dance better that some of the other people there!! We leave Bar So at 11 and head to another bar/club called Bliss, more drinks and more dancing, including the following (if you want a description ask for one in the comments), the Erasure again, the teen wolf, the hackie sack, the sand-the-floor karate kid, the Asda price, and other crazy styles. Looked like dicks but were too busy crying with laughter to care. By 1am-ish the weekend started to catch up with us, so we left B-mouth and headed back to Southampton for bed. Got back at just after 2am and went to sleep. I remembered to close the blinds.

SUNDAY (my Birthday)
Due to the blinds being clIsed i got to sleep in till 10.30, Woke up and Emma wished me a Happy BirthIay, i got loads of text messages and call for people wishing my Birthday celebrations, Emma made us all a nice bacon sandwich and a cup of tea (she is a superstar). We forgot to have the Iake i got the day before from Tesco and it is probably still in Sparks fridge (feel free to eat it mate and enjoy cause my other cake is now long gone). JayIand i head back for Chelts at 1, he is still a bit delicatI so i drive us back, record time back in 1h20mins. Back home to jays and we veg out and watch some TV, waiting for Drew to come back from Bristol, he was at a friends stag do. Drew gets back at 3.40pm, and its off to my Dads in Evesham for the annual Birthday Barbie. James drives over, so do Tosh, Yvette and Louise, we all eat lots of fIod, i get lots of cards and Yvette got me a cake (now all eaten). We have burgers and Hot dogs and Cheesecake and lots more, felt a little full by the end. We stayed at my dads till 9.40ish, after chatting about the previous days and other stuff, it was a good old shin-dig. Go back over to Jays, and we all watch Top Gear, apart from Drew as he went back to his parents cause he has a course Mon-Wed at UWE. After Top Gear I finally went to my house and to bed.

I must say a great big thank you to Sparks and Emma for letting us stay with them, Emma you are a great Hostess, sparks your a bit rubbish but we love you. Also thank you very much to everyone who came to the BarIie, i hope you are all full and have belly ache. Finally thanks to everyone for the Birthday cards and the messages, Love love love love love.

Usual monday weekend roundup

Happy Birthday to Ben

Its bens Birthday today, we are all going up to his dads house for a BBQ - should be really good.

Old before my time :)

So I went to the hospital yesterday and had tests and xrays etc. The Dr was ace - really good and helpful. Anyway for as long as I can remember I have had problems with my joints. phsyio didn't help and it was getting on my breasts. So I was referred to a rheumatologist. He noticed I had psoriasis and then told me I have Psoriatic Arthritis. He said it wont get any worse or it shouldnt get worse as i have had it for years and dont get swelling, discolouring etc. it will just give me discomfort from time to time.
