This week I have a cold. Not an awful cold by any means, just one that leaves you gagging for air as you nose learns what its like to be a toilet at a turkish bath. I've been so pumped up on drugs I achieved nirvana two days ago. This cold could possibly of had to sources. One being all the sick people at work which is a high possibilty or perhaps it was like my trip to chessington, which much like my trip to Alton Towers earlier in the year, was blessed with Noah's flood. Which would explain all the animals.
Chessington was a great day out and surprising cheap, unless your name is Shani and must buy gifts for everyone you have ever met. I bought some fantastic flashing blue glasses which look perfect on me when I have also sprayed my hair blue as well. The rides there are ok although don't reach the dizzy heights of Alton Towers and are generally wetter. The company was once again superb with Ami and the wife tagging along for my fantastic personality.
In the last week I also briefly graced London with my presence. It was five in the morning people! Thats no time to be awake. Anyway it was wet, again and I still had to work in the afternoon. The esclators were somewhat boring compared to my last London visit. And in a few days London calls me again as I go to theatre. Stand up comedy here we come!

Music is the sound of life

2006-10-10T00:28:37Z

I believe that there is a song for every moment, every feeling, every event and every emotion in your life. You can't always find it but when you do it captures that moment in time perfectly.

So for those occasions when you are eating ice cream may I recommend the song 'Let's Stay Together by Al Green'

June

2006-10-04T23:09:15Z

Everyone went out to meet June, well almost everyone. I got drunk and made a complete fool of myself, oops. Need my memory card back. Think did many silly stuff tonight, but all good. Too many double vodka and coke, too many people laughing. need sleep

travelling by train can be so dangerous

2006-09-28T22:53:00Z

This week has been a perilous one on the way home. One day I spend an hour watching two chavs fight on train tracks. The next night there is a police car and ambulance outside a local pub as a girl fits violently on the floor and gangs of chavs seem out and about all the time.
I also find myself recently spending far too much money on things I don't really need. Must spend it on things that make me happy instead, ALCOHOL! No just kidding, women

Week off

2006-09-12T23:23:36Z

Once again I am off work and unfortunately a certain lack of funds has prevented certain things I would of liked to of done. My trip to london cancelled, my trip to disneyland cancelled, my trip to spain not planned far enough ahead.
Time is passing fairly quietly at the moment if a little fast and I can't help but feel another six months off work might help

Alcohol is the solution

2006-09-07T20:38:38Z

Apparently my reputation is changing at work. When once I was a repectable man of society that could do no wrong I am now one who is an alcoholic. Apparently my drinking has reached dangerous levels which mean i am no longer to make sensible decisions and may lead me to do something stupid. Although perhaps I have been out drinking more, I think everyone knows that I am not one of those people apart from my continued beard growth which is now beginning to reach, i have been informed, 'sexy level'

Advice for the day: if you don't like to hear the truth don't read it

Idle Boast

2006-09-04T21:54:51Z

Did test the nation this weekend and I have an IQ of 135. Bow before my genius!

I don't post much anymore and that because there has not really been anything good to post. As most of you know my ex girlfriend Vikki, who dumped me because she was not in the right state to be in any sort of relationship right now, well she appears to be sleeping with womanising health risk Matt Rising for care free non commital sex. Having been told i was a perfect bf that she still loved me and wanted to get back with me one day while this all happened followed by her parading him in front of me and everyone I work with constantly is more than a kick in the teeth. Even more so when she can't even tell me because she can't live with the fact she may actually be the bitch she doesn't want to be. Beware people, 2 years of friendship of which seven months was together is worth nothing compared to an easy shag apparently. How people change for the worse so quickly. So if anyone knows that secret mystical location where intelligent, good looking women in their mid twenties hang out please let me know
Anyhow life is not all bad, I recently won a pack of condoms or lubricant! Barmaid at the Hob beware!
I also have the urge to tell a happy story. Once upon a time there was a young elephant named, Nathanel. He was a bad elephant because after school he liked to munch on other elephants nuts. This caused much problems in the herd until one day he was lucky in that he found a mystical pouch. In this pouch he found a lifetime supply of chocolate and never again would he bother the heard again.
The moral of this story is that school won't always drive you nuts!

By the way, does anyone have a laminator fetish and would you date someone that did?

Most painful day of my life

2006-08-12T22:38:09Z

I love her so much

Back to normal

2006-08-05T21:47:53Z

Its a good feeling when you know life never changes because at least you know you have stability in your life. So once again I find myself with women problems. Do I create them? Am i proof that it is incredibly difficult for men and women to get close and not have feeling at some point, probably.
My girlfriend is away for two weeks which after a few days of sulking, is not quite as bad as I thought it was. Even though everyone is convinced she has cheated on me with at least half the men in the mediteranean. Apparently, because its news to me, I am going out with Shani's sister who could well be trying to be my friend just to get back at her ex boyfriend. I am having dreams of other women and some people at work are once again working against my happiness.
In so many ways this makes my life easier to live as how can one worry about things when they are too absurd to even believe they could be happening. Its so ridiculous that I could well be making this all up. Bring on next week when Rachael and Vikki return and my life potentially spirals into a new dimension

Life Sucks

2006-07-09T10:19:23Z

My Grandad died

mmmmm

2006-06-18T11:13:01Z

Life has been tough, annoying and stressful recently so any ideas of relaxation and ways to clear head would be appreciated

Day of hell...again

2006-05-06T20:28:31Z

Its one of those days when loads of small things just build up and really annoy you. Worries about my insecurities seem more and more realistic everyday. And why is it that everytime you go to use a computer or bathroom in my house there is always and I mean ALWAYS someone in there.

Anyway my holiday has involved my usual attempt to tidy my room which has brought more success than usual as my floor is clear! Hooray!
I have been swimming, seen the girlfriend nearly enough and invented a new form of self punishment that involves trapping myself in a station door to amuse foreign tourists. Plus I didn't vote because I didn't know anyone even though the polling station is clearly visable outside my bedroom window.

How things change

2006-04-29T23:08:58Z

Ah, if only i could think of something interesting to write. Life is going reasonably good although I would prefer less work and more time with the girlfriend.
Fucking Miller is now joining the evening shift trying to ruin a few good months.
And I got a new computer, it works its good its expensive I rarely use computers anyway so why did I buy it?

An afternoon in the lift

2006-04-15T22:05:06Z

Today has been an annoying day. If having your train replaced by a late bus was not bad enough, I got stuck in the 'only working'lift at work. I had been warned it was messing about but as others had used it I thought what the hell and went in. The doors closed, the lift moved down, the door banged against the wall, bent out of shape and went up and down again before deciding it was too bent out of shape to reach a floor. So they I stood laughing going shit knowing everyone would think I did this on purpose. I assumed they would reset the lift and everything would be ok. This was not the case. Within ten minutes sue and graeme tried to free me not realising the door was broken. They called engineer and I was told about an hour.
The first half hour was spent laughing a my predicament. I posed in the mirror, practice my rescue pose and danced naked. It appeared that the firemen from across the road were going to free me. Apparently not. Brian decided that as it would cause a scene and damage the broken lift that I should wait for the engineer. Just as well I was not scared of small spaces or suffering from lack of oxygen due to the numerous holes in the solid lift. People spoke to me worried for my safety or just laughed. Many assumed that as I was stuck in a lift without food and water that I must be dying. That if i was not spoken to regularly I would turn mad. If only that was the case.
I was in fact bored. I spent the second half hour fixing the door as people went off to lunch informing me of their great meals. Once it became apparent that Brian was more concerned with the lift than me and that there was no more anyone could do to fix the lift until the engineer got there I began to sit there and wait. I spent the next hour trying to find things to do. All I had with me was a pack of condoms (why wasn't Vikki with me?), some comfy shoe insoles and some tan optimser which was no use to me in England let alone a lift. After two hours an engineer arrived, forced the lift up and set me free walking into the light.
I was met by Vikki on her lunch, Brian (presumably to see if I was about to sue him) and Sue who was kind enough to buy me a cool can of coke. No one offered me the rest of the day off or anything. To be fair I was fine due to my amazing mental discipline but that is not the point. In fact lift jokes haunted me for the rest of the evening. I would hate to have seen the repercusions had it been some of the other members of staff who suffer in such situations. This includes just about everyone including the likes of Miller and Adrian.

One step closer to being...

2006-04-09T22:41:50Z

This year is already one I will never forget with recent events only adding to that. Having felt down for the last week or so I find my mood a little improved. Despite certain time restraints I have still found the time to consistantly beat Dan at pool and spend time with my gorgeous girlfiend.
In fact last night I had the pleasure of witnessing a show she performed in. Now the word witness has rarely been more appropriate as it was sorely needed of my expert dance input. But despite this minor quibble it was entertaining and well worth the trip.
I find myself getting more and more addicted to junk food. I am constantly eating either chips or chocolate and feel that perhaps I need to take care before I start putting on weight. Therefore I have decided that after next week that I will give up chocolate for lent this year.
My attempts to improve my fitness have been dampened by the fact I keep simply forgetting to practice my flares. How can I take the world dancing crown if I consistantly forget to practice when I have the loading bay to myself.
I have also noticed that everyone wants my hat. Some people want to make love to that hat, others just want to wear it, some even want me. I can understand these needs but people, you can buy your own hats and I am way out of your league.
In the last few days I have also learnt a valueable lesson. That is that sisters should be not ever allowed to speak.

London!

2006-03-26T00:31:01Z

While a couple of so called friends at work continue to attempt to sabotage my enjoyment of life I don't care as I've been to London.
Exciting and was so fun. Madame Tussauds was fantastic. Took pictures, got shocked at the the live chamber and watched the stars in the planetarium. The debate as to why I have yet to be immortalised in wax is still ongoing. Then 3 hours of shopping in which I got blue jeans! a belt and something a little special from Hamleys no less, somewhere every grown adult should go.
The afternoon was followed by the play, Woman in Black. A play I knew very little about was acted with such goodness that I could not help but enjoy its story, its use of stage stuff and tension. I recommend to all to visit the fortune theatre.
Now if that was not a great day already it was made better by the food and the company of which I would of been lost in all those clothes stores without!
Who knew escaltors could be so much fun?
Do you realise how much you can get away with these days?!

So shall it be written

2006-03-20T22:30:22Z

According to a certain Mr Miller I am currently dating Vikki. It seems now my life can be secret no longer. I am not actually dating Vikki, how can I be when I am in fact dating Benazir Bhutto Former Prime Minister of Pakistan!

Something to pass the time

2006-03-18T21:59:00Z

Greetings and Salutations
Great weekend once again even if a few events like having a cold in cold weather has put a dampner on it. Shocking news of the week: Miller and Beth a couple. It brings new meaning to the word desperate but good luck to them.
I got a new printer this week so the world is one step closer to signed pictures of me and ah shit I can't think of anything else to say right now. Ah fuck it!

Week draws to an end

2006-03-04T13:57:10Z

Thank god this week is over, work is annoying and for once its not the people I work with its the job itself messing me about.
This week has been eventful. I beat dan at pool on monday, made amazing pancakes with Juan Pablo on the tuesday, watched tv on wednesday, had visitor Thursday and slept on friday. Ok so not eventful but the things that did happen were great if not always perfect, as not much on the wednesday.

Work is really beginning to bother me. I haven't been joking about with everyone as much recently and I feel I am more distant than I'd like with some friends. Also the work is just boring and I need something to liven up a work a little. I know also I keep getting the urge to be somewhere else with someone else. Basically its been ages since I had time off and a little fun away from work and I need it desperately.
Its one of those weeks where I keep bumping into old people. I say old people but one is a friend from uni who I have not seen in 2 years. The other is an old, I think friend, from work who I had not seen for about two months. Unfortunately both 'reunions' were not as exciting as I would of liked and are unlikely to involve me having to find time to meet up with them in the near future.
Life is actually good and I really should not be complaining, perhaps now I'm getting greedy or perhaps I just need a holiday
