It's started

I got a text form Honic just as I was finishing work today saying he was in the bar.

So, I paid my rent and bills and went in to meet him to see how his holiday was - fully intending to drink coke/squash. But as I ordered it, he said "I've got you a beer in." so it would have been rude for me to turn it down...

Anyway, 4 beers later I felt quite drunk (that first one tasted DAMN good though), so I went and did a bit of shopping and came home to have some dinner - I'm off out now to sample a few more beers (just to make sure they taste good in all the pubs around town).

Did I ever mention how I love Fridays? :smile:

My (slightly insane) work colleague...

Ah Corina...the days would drag without your classic comments.

"My Google has gone wonky..."
"You're not gonna catch me with that...again..."
"Could I have that used envelope please?"

This could be a regular feature... :wink:

Corina's daughter (Nic) thinks there's a dust monster living under her bed :neutral: she's so convinced of this, she cleans out the 'dust bunnies' so it can't eat them...little does she realise that this only makes the dust monster angry (not to mention hungry).

And to think, neither of them are blonde - but they both should be...

Corina just came out with a classic 'Corina moment'...

"When you're listening to the radio in the car, do you look at the radio if you want to hear clearer?"
"No, Corina, I either turn it up or move my head closer to the speakers..."
"Oh..."

Like I said - she's blonde at heart (she dyes her hair).

Happy St George's day!

And yes, I firmly believe it should be a bank holiday.



"God for Harry, England and St George"

What a week that was

Last weekend I watched the Sunday football game - as usual - with Andy (AKA 'Honic') - as usual - in the Tudor - as usual. As normally happens, we both ended up slightly tipsy (some would say pissed as farts but they're biased) and Honic left about 9.30-10.00 (as far as I know). I stayed for a bit longer, then decided I'd had enough so I went to the toilet prior to wandering home. As I came out of the toilet, I was (literally) jumped on by a friend who convinced me to go into town with them.

Now, bearing in mind she'd fallen through a bush on her way to the Tudor, and I had a definite wobble on, with hindsight this was maybe not such a good idea...

We made it to the Priory in two pieces (I think we may have merged into one along the way at some point or points), then she bought Sambuca (with a Beck's to wash it down).

I kind of lost track of things in the Priory then, apparently we were behaving badly and were told to leave as they wanted to close, so we wandered back to mine so she could get summat to eat.

Couldn't get her a cab before 4am so we sat up chatting and stuff until it arrived.

With 2 hours before I was due to get up for work I still thought I could do it so I crashed out - only to be woken by Tim ringing me saying they were outside, he (correctly) assumed from my response (a mumble) that I maybe needed another hour so he said he'd get me picked up when Corina came in.

Anyway, I DID make it into work, and even lasted until about 3.30 when the hangover major kicked in - then I had to go home. I tried laying on the couch, but decided that a 'hair of the dog' was needed, so I headed for the Tudor where the first pint went down VERY slowly. The second was okay, the third was blurred by the fourth...and before you know it, I was drunk again which made me realise I'd not make it in to work tomorrow.

Tuesday morning I vowed to stay off alcohol for a week (minimum) - and, too date I have :smile: even Friday night when I got a call to go to the Priory at 1am, I drank a coke. Even the Spurs v Arsenal game (2-2), I drank coke.

From Tuesday I can have a beer, but I think I'll leave it until Friday

George Bush is a fecking moron

Been a beautiful weekend here - summer is early (and hopefully stays late).

One thing I noticed the other day - my site looks weird in Internet Explorer, the left hand sidebar is way down the page. Also, do these videos show up? they do in Firefox...

The big day is here - Spurs vs Seville second leg. After we went down 2-1 in the first (away) leg because of that extremely dubious penalty decision, we now entertain them at the Lane.

Keane, Berbatov and Lennon were all rested at the weekend and should be fully fit and full of goals, and the rumour is Ledley King is (finally) back from injury. The stage is set, with 3 English teams in the Champion's League semi-finals, Spurs can be the fourth English team in European semi-finals :smile:

Chatting to TGND earlier, he mentioned something about Google Maps - he told me to get directions from New York to London, then look at instruction 23. This is what you get:

Might take a little while...

I need to find a plugin that allows me to embed video here - there's an awesome WKD advert which is hilarious - I've linked to it here.

Summer seems to have arrived here - the weekend was beautiful, and this week has been good too...

Hilarious WKD Ad:

A travesty

The Sevilla vs. Spurs game started well last night - real end to end stuff, with Spurs stamping their authority on the tie with a goal in the second minute. Then came the extremely controversial penalty for Sevilla - look at the picture, you can clearly see Robbo got both hands on the ball therefore it was an excellent save:

After he'd awarded this, the ref went on to make a series of dubious freekick awards to the Spanish team - one of these (IMHO) was for the comedy dive the player did...

In the second half, when Berbatov got sandwiched between two defenders while trying to head the ball he was held down by both of them, and guess what? yup, the ref gave a freekick to Sevilla...

Oh well, we got an away goal and the return leg at The Lane is next week - COYS!

The holiday weekend is upon us...almost

One of the things that keeps me sane at work (well, I have to deal with co-workers with weird fetishes etc.) is my elastic band ball - here it is:

Of course, the coffee I drink in copious amounts helps too...

3.15 - only an hour and three quarters until the long weekend :smile:
