One year

A year to the day since my dad died.

I'm so proud to be his son. I just hope I can in some way be like him.

I love you dad.

EDIT: Been a day. I met up with honic and Wendy, few beers and we're off to see some local band at the Merry Boys.

What I should have done is go see my mum.

I'm an ass...

My all time favourite track - Lou Reed's 'Coney Island Baby' (7.5mb) but damn it's awesome...

Coder humour...

I was running through some PHP code earlier and came across this somewhat amusing snippet:



Chicken Little beware.

It's raining (again), I feel lonely :cry: but if this keeps up, I should manage to get the decorating done this weekend.

Oh, after I lost my phone, it was used to make 2 calls - one for 9 seconds, one for 28 seconds - to the same mobile number. I've printed the info on these calls and will take them to the police station when I finish - they should be able to trace the number (it goes straight to Orange voicemail when I call it), and from that work out who had my phone (6 months for styealing phones here).

Bloody weather...

Time for a change

I changed the theme to the site as you can see. Kind of bored at work as I'm still stuck in the office answering the phones while Corina is on holiday.

Doubly bored now until Monday - Hat is away at the rowing championships in Scotland with her sister. I'm hoping the weekend here is going to be dull and rainy so I'll have an incentive to stay in - my plan is to get the lounge painted. If it is raining, I'll also save some money - something I'd seriously like to do as I need a new carpet, a holiday, money for my driving test (yes, I'm finally gonna go for it again...), to mention but a few...

Anyway, tonight when I finish work, I need to start moving furniture - I have some stuff to get into the auction which in turn will give me some space to move things out of the lounge to make it easier to paint/recarpet.

Got my new phone - a D900i (same as the D900 but with an FM radio). Going to check out a shop in town that (allegedly) sells 'iffy' phones to see if some chav has flogged it on - basically all I want is the memory card out of it (all my contacts are backed up, just don't have copies of some of the pictures on it), but if it's there, I'll grab it and phone the police (I have all the paperwqork from when I first got it and I DID report it missing).

Well, enough for now. Ciao.

Weeeeeeee...

Congratulations to my l'il sis - she did the Race For Life yesterday :smile:

What a weekend that was - a real up and down one, lots of highs, a few lows, but overall very good. What the hell led me to go for a swim in the river last night I have no idea...me and Hat were a little drunk I guess, but with all the rain there's been that was a definite no brainer - I dived in and by the time I surfaced I was about 30 yards downstream...I had to pull Hat out 'cos she couldn't get out on her own - that was a seriously bad idea.

I lost my phone last night too - dunno whether I left it in the taxi or maybe in the bottom of the river or in town or what - had to phone O2 to cancel the phone and number...replacements should be with me tomorrow hopefully - I feel lost without a phone...

1.5 hours until time to go home...should I check out YouTube, the Ministry of Sound website, or maybe harass Hat by text? :grin:

OMG...how'd that happen?

Ok, ok - I know how it happens...still a bit scary though.

Here's a scan of the baby:



This is one of those defining moments in life :shock:

Ack - I hate Mondays

But to be honest - I did get a bit of a laugh this morning.

I sent Tim a text saying that I was staying at Hat's and could I get picked up from there this morning. I got a call from Mick this morning asking where I was, "I'm at Harriett's," I say, "Oh, Tim told me you were at Barretts..." (Barretts is a shop in town).

That was it - I was crying with laughter then :lol:

Busy weekend

Well, the loft is all boarded now - just have to get some screws to fix the boards down (not that they'll move too much - they're kinda heavy), then cut some boards to fit around the edge of the loft hatch. The other spare room is almost a bedroom too.

Spent the day at Hat's yesterday and I just know when she dropped me off at home (she was off with friends to a girlie night in Bedford - Trish's birthday do) she thought I'd be straight down the pub.

Ha! how wrong...it was almost 9pm before I went out, played some pool, had a few beers, then went into town with Andy, Wendy, Dennis and Pope (not the head of the church). Seems Hat and co had left Bedford about the same time as I left town, so Hat got back to mine just after me - she wasn't drunk this time though (unlike Friday night when she was totally pissed).

Well, pop for a quick lunchtime pint, do a bit of shopping, then back home for some dinner followed by tidying the lounge...

You have to giggle sometimes...

There are some things in life that you just have to take a double take at...

Today, I finished work and came home back to the (major) housecleaning - wait, that sounds like I live in a shithole - I don't, it's just I've let the general housekeeping 'slip' away a tad.

Anyway, after an hour or so working (moving feck off big boards into the loft prior to laying them), I took time out and had a cup of tea. Hat came round to see if I'd go mow her lawn. Well of course it was like a break so I did (and made a damn good job of it too if I may say so), drank her out of beer, and then vodka, so I have a rather pleasant buzz going on here (and, most importantly, after 2 days using power tools - I still have all my extremities, 10 fingers, ditto toes, small penis *sigh* oh well...)

840pm here and I'm just about to jump in the bath for a prolonged soak before hitting town for a few (well-deserved) alcoholic beverages...

Salut!

PS - did I mention I have a REAL spare room now - not just a room with computer parts in... :smile:

It's been a long week

I've had a housecleaning head on :neutral:

Decided I was gonna recover my spare rooms (they were quite literally full of computer parts, monitors, cases and other junk).

Couple of evenings getting stuck in and I have a REAL spare room :shock: - the back bedroom is getting there too, the boards I'd got to floor the loft space have finally been cut down so they'll go through the loft hatch (my job for the weekend - lay them) and once they're out of there all I need to do is hoover the room through and I'll once again have a 3 bedroom house.

Then I have to start on the downstairs...

The morning after

Last night was good - originally we were gonna go around town, but ended up staying in the Tudor (cheap beer, good people) until about 10, then hit town. Twice I tried to go home, both times met up with another mate who convinced me to go back into town - finally got home about 1 - VERY drunk, and crashed out on my couch...which brings me to the next bit...

Another video of me snoring is up on Youtube now - Harriett took 2 of me last night when she came in (I really need to learn to lock my door) - the one I put up is really funny though, I pull some strange faces...and can't be woken up.

Oh well, at least these things amuse others...

I was almost tempted to get a tattoo today - went with Andy and Lloyd when they went to get theirs and was almost persuaded to get the same one (silly picture of a hand with a knob instead of the middle finger on their chest). Found out that a Spurs logo (see left) will set me back about £40...thinking about it :???:

Anyone want a cold?

I gave in to the pressure (well, I was curious as to what comments I'd get), so I uploaded the video of me snoring to YouTube. I put a couple of videos up there, and will see what others I can get...

I've had a head cold this week - seems to be hanging on longer than they usually do, but I should be fully fit by the weekend.

I read a few blogs onlline - it's a major source of fun stuff, and it seems more and more people are finding nothing to blog about. All I can say to that is: HA! i told you it was sometimes difficult...this is why I generally go on and on about football.

Oh I love Mondays...NOT!

As is fairly usual for a Monday, I was late into work :neutral: .Took me an hour or so (and several cups of coffee) to get motivated into actually working, but then I had one of those beautifully surreal moments...

My computer's network name is 'God'. I'd been in my office modifying one of our databases, then went into the other office. Completely forgetting that I'd left the database open on my machine, I tried to modify a record only to be faced with this:



That set me off giggling like a girl for about 15 minutes - took away the Monday blues though.

I decided to take an online IQ test...clever bastard aren't I?
