feeling better and thank fuck for use of a car

iam now back to my old self, still a little bit of snot to deal with but i can handle that no probs, been in chelmsford for a few days seeing old friends and so on, i was all up for using the train and bus to get down but my dad offered to let me use his car so the 30quid it would of cost me to get down i used in petrol and did a bit mor traveling around while i was down there,

anyway i gets to chelmsford and go to the pub where my friend works and while i was having a beer, people were coming in saying the trains are not running and have not since arbout 9am that morning and wasnt goting to get moving again till the next day, so no trains coming into chelmsford at all, all i did was smile at myself as having my dads car just think what a pain in the arse it would of been and all the extra time it would of taken having to rethink of how to get to chelmsford by bus i wouldnt of been in the pub i wouldnt probly get a pint till a lot later that eve

i was in the pub for half 1 had had a nice chilled out afternoon and eve having a few beers and a chat to 1 or 2 of the regulars in the pub and chatting about how crap public transport is, just think i could of been kinda stranded in london, pissed off and costing me even more money having to resume my journey by coach then trying to get a refund for my ticket

and the goverment wants people to use public transport more hey, this dont give me any incling to use public transport, even the last time i used the train to go to skeggy for the day me and my mates wanted to use the half 5 train but that was canceled the next train was another hour away at half 6, just think if we had a connecting train which we needed and there wasnt another train we would of been totaly buggerd,

sodding public transport keep with the car i say,

on a brighter note i did have a good time in chelmsford, i caught up with some friends who ive not seen for a while had a few beers, had a good curry and went to a pub which i used to go for a meal but it went very bad and it went that bad i even wrote a very arsey letter of complaint to the pub, they did reply and sent us some vouchers to come again but still was shit so we never went again, untill saturday which i must say was very good, but i allways say you need to go to a place for a meal twice to see if its realy good so next time iam in chelmsford ill try it again and lets hope its good

anyway iam off to have a kip ready myself for this eve's nite out have a goodun what ever your doing 2nite and stay safe

a nice crimbo for a change

1st time for ages that ive had a nice smooth crimbo, as other crimbos ive either worked or been ill and 1 crimbo the other year i had a mad rush to rebuild my engin on my car cos the cambelt snaped on a suprise visit to my parents, and that was pain in the arse to get that ready in time to get back to chelmsford,

but anyway i did get ill before crimbo day this year but i was almost better by the 24th which i was happy about, i had my taste buds also so i could enjoy my crimbo dinner drink beer and eat other nice foods, ive also caught up on some telly watched 1 or 2 films so all is good,

as ive had a bit of a rest over the last couple of day now for the next few days will be busy, going to carsington water 2mora with a couple of mates which looks like it will be a laugh then friday iam off to chelmsford to see some old friends for a couple of days, which will envole a few drinks most probly a trip to southend if weather permits then back upto nottingham ready for new years eve, at my local with a couple of mate, new years day to recover then back to work on the 2nd

so what ever everyone is doing for the next few days have a goodun and see yeh in the new year and happy birthday barnze mate just think you'll be older next year so make the most of your age this year lol

what a year

well what a year 2007 has been its had a lot of ups and downs over the next couple of days ill write my thoughts about 2007 anyway lets start with january

well jan was not very inportant, we were still dealing with bluddy bed bugs which had drove me and my ex both mad, as everytime when the chap came to spray out flat with bug spray we had to clean everything think we had the chap in 4 times not only did we have to clean the flat but wash curtains sleeping bags and everything realy took a real strain on us,

work was okay i was still working the night shift which i was getting a bit fed up which by the end of jan i would be on mornings which wasnt bad, and i was seeing a big inprovement on my fittness as well but that would all change by the end of march

2 more workdays

looks like iam coming down with yet anoher cold, just what i need as iam about to break up for crimbo and a busy weekend of working with my dad, but least 1 thing my hip aint hurting like a cunt, yesterday at work the only place i found i could sit without my hip hurting was with my leg up on my desk and when people came in to the office they thoght i was snoozing, when i mentioned about my hip they knew differnet but i did have a afternoon snooze tho so cant complane,

picked up my new bike yesterday not bad either front and back suspension which makes for a much smoother ride and 21 grars which makes cycling up hills a bit easyer and gives me more speed when iam cycling down the sods, at least security caught 2 lads the other night pinching bikes, they were 15 and 16 year olds coppers came and took them to the cop shop but ill not hold my breath that anything will be done apart from a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again,

with crimbo plans all set and sorted should be a mix of seeing friends and having some self time and catching up on some telly i think and some online gaming i think, but iam going to stop in this crimbo eve had a good bottle of red wine and watch the xfiles cant get much better than that hey

iam off stay safe out there and dont get crapped on hey

what a shitter

bluddy crapper my bike got pinched last nite at work couldnt believe it, my and my bike have done a few thousand miles together, over the years and the bluddy thing is as well i only just oiled and greased it and put new breaks and tryes on the thing as well at the weekend, so ive nearly spent a hundred quid on a new bike today which looks a nice bit of kit, front and back suspension 21 speed unlike my last bike was a 15speed got some new high power lights and also a new lock and iam going to pick it up 2mora onthe way to work,

wnet out for a few pints with people from work on friday night and had a good night, went to yates a bit of a shit hole i'd thoguht but a very nice pint had a few in there then went to long island then to flares, one thing ive noticed with this smoking ban is that now when you walk into some pubs you can smell peoples bo and they stink the stink can be so bad that it can make you feel sick, and to finish the night off me and a mate went for a good old curry and it wasnt bad either,

and also to top my mood ive come on the bus today and ive lost my bluddy all day bus ticket and had to walk from town and also found ive forgotten to pick up my switch card so i can draw any money out of the bank what a fucker hey

best get some work done stay safe as theres madduns about

13th already

well isnt this month going quick iam not yet in the crimbo mood i dont think i will be to be honest, but on the plus side ive almost done my crimbo shopping, just got to get my parents something and skytower something as well i know what to give skytower but its finding it will be the problem, had a look on the interweb but not realy anylook but to be honest ive not realy tryed yet so will have a prper look this eve when i get home,

looks like iam going to be busy with nights out over the next couple of weeks, but also ill have time to my self which is also going to be good like last nite i went to the dog and partrige for a pint which i enjoyed just a couple of pints by meself, but having a nite in 2nite but off out 2mora after work with a mate and some of his mates from work which will be intresting might go for a big wok as well

the cycling is going well and iam quite enjoying it but the only problem is in the daytime when iam going to work trying to cycle through town is a right pain, got busses blocking the roads and alsorts so its just as easy to get off and walk through town

anyway iam off got work to do and stay safe out there as there's madduns about

crimbo

what a bluddy cold day, but iam looking forward to my time off work this year, i finish work on the 21st and go back on the 2nd of jan, this year ill not have to rush around here there and everywhere also ill not have to work either like i had to this year not have to deal with bedbugs or any thing like that,

looks like iam over my cold and flu thingy unlike other crimbos when ive come down with cold or flu just a couple of days before crimbo day, so this year iam going to enjoy myself do what i like ans when, have a couple of days rest then on the 27th off seeing friends in chelmsford then back on the 31st for new years eve with my mates at the local which is just a few mins walk around the corner, not got to deal with getting taxis anywhere or paying silly prices to get into pubs or clubs in town or owt

and iam doing my crimbo shopping friday so i dont have to rush around at the last minuet like i normaly do, i have started to cycle to work to help my fittness and i was suprised in how quick i got to work yesterday as well just took me 30 mins and took me 40 to get back as it was mainly all up hill, and i was more suprised how far i cycled up carlton road/hill, managed 3 quarters walked a little then cycled the rest so all in all quite happy

iam off do a couple of jobs ive been meaning to do for ages, stay safe as its mad out there

cold day`

went to sekggy on saturday not a bad day but realy windy and cold had a couple of beers and some fish and chips so cant grunble but what i can grumble at is we wanted to come home on the half 5 train but it was canceled always the fucking same when i go somewhere by public transport,

with the petrol prices going up like they are the train company's could make a killing as i would love to use the train more, but at the prices they charge i'd rather just take my car, if i wanted to go to london by train in the morning at half 8 then come home at 7pm a day return could cost anything from 60-82 quid for just one person, you can get down for 32 quid but that only works if you go down like at 2pm in the after noon anc come back at some stupid time in the eve,

i dont even mind paying 40 quid return for a trip to london but that will never happen and thats why more and more people use ther cars,

anyway heres a pic of me on skeggy beach a bit gloomy hey but had a laugh

ladies not

on the bus to work today there were a group of girls sitting on the top deck of the bus at the front, couldnt been much older then 19 but how they were acting could of been 14 some of the things they were chatting about and at the top of there voices as well, one of the convosastions they had was about drinking beer and so on, they sounded like right old laddets rough as old nails, and there was only one nice looking one in the group and she seemed like she needed some manners as well lol,

then during the jouney to work this nice looking blonde came on, to look at her you think not bad wouldnt mind giving her one, but she was talkig on her phone not only did she sound think was was thick in general, and just not with it at all, i dont know

but the good news is ive sorted my computer out i did reinstall it last night and seems to be working fine now gave it a scan for virus's and so on and iam happy with it, also i caught up with some episodes of xfiles and prison break while i was working on my pc so wasnt all bad

off to skeg 2mora which will be a good day out fish and chips on the seafront and a couple of pints to wash it down with

iam at work so best get some work done stay safe out there as there's madduns about

day out or aout

well looks like me and a couple of mates are off out or aout depends on how yeh say it and we are off to could be sunny old skeg, and going on the train as well as its only 16quid return so can hav a jolly good day out with a few beers as well,

in other news, iam still bored with things my mood hasnt changed but hope will do soon, think my pc is totaly wankered and might need a reinstall which iam not to pleased in having to do as ive got my pc just how i like it, but if i cant sort the problem out or aout ill have to do it, ill probly do it friday night and watch a couple of episodes of prison break or xfiles and have a nice bottle of red wine,

theres been a intresting story on the news at late about a bloke who's been missing for 5 years and just suddenly turned up and can't remember a thing during the last 5 years be intrestnig to see what happens hey,

bored

As of late ive been going through a patch of being realy bored not only at work which is going well that everyone is happy with me which is good but iam even bored at home, not sure if its as winter is here or what and the early dark nights are here but iam just constitly fed up, and to make me laugh me mate at work was reading my stars and they mentioned i was bored and starting to be a bored person, it all could be true, but like i say it could just be a fase iam going through,

But on the plus side iam doing well at the gym had my fittness check and ive made progess yet again but realy iam needing to do more as in keeping fit, as iam not gaining any weight but not losing much as fast as i thought, but iam getting fitter which iam happy about, think ill do a couple of fittness classes as in kick boxing which ive always fancyed doing and some circuit training which i did as a teenager, and i was realy good and could run for ages so lets see

iam off to watch the xfiles and stay safe out there as there's madduns out there

so nice but so wrong

last night i got a kebab from the local takeaway, but this time i asked for letuce and cheese never had a kebab like that before but by time i got home all the cheese had melted and humm going to have it again sometime soon and her what it looked like

weight update

yep iam deffo losing weight, as now i can take my jeans and trousers off without undoing the buttons and even zip good hey

blobbed it

well england hasnt made it through to the next stages of euro 2008, i knew i mentioned i was hoping they didnt make it but iam a little dissapointed, but i think steve McClaren made a big bloop by putting a rokkie goal keeper in goal in one of our most inportant maches, the press will make intresing reading in the morning,

any way iam back to my wine, which by the way is very nice its a red wine called winemaker's seal from the gallo family, its a californian wine and very nice indeed, i couldnt fine the wine i was after which was a blossom hill red but this is just as nice

have a goodun and stay save out there

losing weight

somehow ive been losing weight but since friday ive not been realy eating healthly at all, but iam losing weight somehow, iamnot moaning but iam ready for some fresh veg and salad now 2mora ill do sos and mash with some veg i think

in other news gordon brown is in the shit once again this labour goverment has made fuck-up after fuck-up and have wasted some much of our money doing so, iam just wondering if any goverment is goign to be any good at doing the job of govening england,

and the problems with northern rock and with there shares going down the pan, and people losing money i dont think the goverment should ever pay the money to people who have lost out, its jsut another form of gambling, next people who go to casinos and bet online will be asking the goverment for money when they lose,

i dont know i think the whole world has gone mad, i think the media dont help i think they need much more tighter guidelines in what they can report on, and make sure they have the full facts before they do as well,

and onto football, i hope england dont win tonight with how crap they have been playing they all need a good kick up the arse, apart form peter crouch who in my book is a good player and is much under rated in my book, and if england do win and get through i dont think they will get any thurther to be honest, but at least it seems forest have pulled there socks up and playing like a team now they are 3rd in the league and could go top with there next game so come on lads make sure you do it this season and get back into the championship

i best get some work done stay save out ther as there's madduns about

strange

Over the last view nights to be honest the last week and a half ive been having some right old strange dreams, one in mind at the moment was when i think i was having a quick chat with skytower and little pete about the old grey hound being closed down,

with the convo being over as soon as it started that was that, the strange thing was when i went to bed i had a dream about buying the pub and employing the old owner, but the pub was all different, it wasnt the same layout every room in the pub had been changed in every detail and the whole ownership of the pub came to a terible end,

iam not sure what causes these wired dreams, but if i worte a book about what i dream about think it would be a best seller or i would be put in a nut house

on a brighter note ive had my lazy saturday and had some junk food and still more to come, 2mora iam going to have a boozy sunday afternoon, with going to my local then into town for a many a beer,

right all iam off to eat more junk food and stay safe out ther as theres madduns about

saturday

Saturday iam going to have the house to myself and going to have a nite in watch a coupel of dvd's eat a load of junk food and generaly be a pig,

today is the 1st time since moving back to nottingham ive been into a supermarket, and its been 6 months since ive been back in nottingham as well, goodness knows how ive not managed not to go into a supermarket before now but hey, and on sat when iam going to pig out i will get one of tescos cream sponge thingys with the jam init, when i used to live in chelmsford i used to get 1 for me and the exgirlfirend to share, but if she was working a late shift and i got the sponge cake thingy before she got home she hardly never got any cos i gobbeld it all before she came home,

and by the way iam feeling much better now as well think the cold is starting to go so by saturady ill be all okay

i best get some more work done, so you all stay safe out there

not good

got a cold now, just asi was feeling better from having the sodding flu and now this, i was feeling worse for wear last eve at work so i went home a little early to have a soak in a hot bath and a early nite and this morning i dont feel as bad

gotta go now but stay save out there as there's nutters and crap drivers about

colours

As you can tell by these pics autum is upon us, i like autum i do as the colours of the tress and so on,

gloomy

should of posted this on monday but i'd tryed but never got chance

what a horrible day it is, its even tryed to rain once or twice while i was walking to work, had yet another lazy weekend which involved a good drinking session on friday nite was only ment to have a quick pint then home for 11pm, i got to the pub for 10pm was a good crowd in got chatting and 1 pint turned into i think 5 or 6 pints was a good nite i left the pub at 2 in the morning and felt rough as hell the next morning as well

wiped out

since the weekend ive felt tired and not sleeping well at all, but today i feel like iam back to normalish i had a good nights sleep last nite 1st since saturday night and i now feel like doing stuff again, i think iam a bit tired as all the extra gym stuff ive been doing and being busy at work, but hey oh least iam now feeling human again tho

on the way home last nite the bus had to take a detour as part of ilkeson road was blocked off near the gegorey pub, aparently there was a chap running around with a gun whats the place coming to hey your safe nowhere these days

anyway stay safe outhere as there's mad folk around

stuffed

went to the big wok on sat night with a couple of friends from work, and it wasnt bad loads food to choose from, but the place was a bit cramped and looked like a bit of a canteen, also almost every time i turned to chat to my mate this woman seemed to get up from her chair from the table next to me at the same time and i had a face full of arse, as the tables were that close togethe, but the food was good so i didnt mind

then we went to a couple of pubs, one of which was libertys which ive not been to for years 1, its not changed at all 2, it was all full of teeny popers and there was a punch up, which the last time i went in there was a punch up, so i dont think ill be going in again but i did enjoy flares tho music wasnt bad and the totty wasnt bad

sunday i did sod all realy apart from going to the gym, and gone out for a a couple of pints with me dad, and i watched bottom seen the shows loads of times but i can still laugh at them and my fav 3 episode's are the halloween 1 when richie and eddie had the cattle prod, the episode when they went camping and the gas man episode, but all of the bottom series are great ah and the episode when eddie tryed to show richie how to play chess that was an other classic

best get some work done as its nearly time to start locking up, stay safe out there as there as a lot of nutters out there

fit for a king

what a gloomy crappy day it was yesterday, so at lunchtime before i went to work i ended up cooking a nice stake and ale casserole, with some veg and fried pots and it was lovely i can tell yeh, and it set me up for the rest of the day

i think friday is my best day of the week cos its dead quiet at work, get to finish a bit earlyer and its payday, and you dont have to worry about getting up early for work, but i dont have that problem anyway as i work 2-10 shift,

not doing a great deal today pottering abuot on the web, and proberly catching up on a bit of telly, then off out to the big wok 2nite with some mates from work which iam looking forward to, iam going to starve myself all day so iam mega hungery for 2nite, as its one of those eat as much as you want things, anyway iam off to pump some iron and sweat at the gym

see yeh laters and stay safe out there

stil around

iam still around with having no interweb for a few days which ill explain about in a bit rant later and also being busy with other stuff, not relay had chance to post much had loads to say but hey oh that can happen,

at least my flu has all gone now, and my cold has seem to have sorted its self out as well so all good there, i had the bloody bug for just over 3 weeks one min i seemed okay the next i felt crap i didn't know if i was coming or going but seen a lot of other people with this bug as well so NO I DID'NT HAVE MAN FLU if any one asks

also over the weekend while i had no interweb i managed to sort out all my photos I've taken since I've had my digital camera, and i didn't realize how many I've got, so now they are all sorted in there groups and even kind of uploaded onto flicr as well so been quite busy with that

think i might go to bed soon as iam bloody nackered, anyway stay safe out there as there are maduns about

stupidness

i was standing at the bustop in town for my bus to work this lunchtime, and one side of me there was a bloke who was walking his dog, and the other side of me were 2 women and a couple of kids, the dog was aproching some railings and he took a wee, the 2 women mentioned what a dirty sod the dog was, but what happened next just made me wonder if joe public are realy that dumb,

thw 2 woman and the kids sat almost on top of where the dog had just had a wee, kids running riot around the railing and one of the kids rubbed itself against the wee and the kid went bonkers, if you were a parent would you sit on the railing near to where a dog had just had a wee

stay safe out there as there are nutters and dumb people about everywhere

the weekend

this weekend was a goodun, as sat i went to work with me dad, then sat nite i had a mate round and watch the ruhby, drank a case of larger between us and had some pizza, but i will be watching the rugby final in the pub next saturday tho, as most the locals who drink in there are rugby mad and will be a good nite

sunday i just had a lazy day realy watched a bit of telly not much to say realy, but i needed a lazy day sunday, and si i will come out with yeh one friday nite but been so busy at the mo just not been able to do owt, think iam going to get some dinner ready and go to work

stay safe out there as there are maduns about

weekend of sport

what a good weekend of sport it was, both the england football and rugby teams won and the rugby team are into next weeks final with south africa,

i think next saturdays final will be a tough 1 to be honest, cos england didnt play great or bad they just had a average game against france on sat and looking at the strength and speed of the south african players i think we will struggle a bit,

Looks like nottingham forest has got there season going at last, as they had such a poor start i didnt think they would'nt have much going for them, but it seems the team are playing well now, juat hope they dont fuck it all up like they did last crimbo they were if memory serves me right 12 games unbeaten and top of the table, then through crimbo it all went tits up, had to realy fight to get to the play off's then they lost to yeovil,

but they are 4th in the table with 19 points and a game in hand, they could go top of the table in the next 2 games, so come on forest,

i will comment about f1 in a later post as there is quite a bit to say

for now stay safe out there as they are mad drivers abour women and men included

this pic

i was reading barnze's a while a go about the flying midget and i though the pic was great, i wonder what the little fella is up to nower days

new blog

what a mad few weeks its been, but ive finaly made a new blog, yup ive gone back to blogger cos i wasnt having much luck with changing my wordpress blog, also it was a pain in the arse to post photos and so on

and this blog ive even managed to put a flicr badge on my blog so ill be posting loads more photos, and even the pics of my wrote off car, which ill update you on whats going on there as well

stay safe out there as there are maddrivers around women and men alike

the square

on saturday nite i was sitting in the market square for a while chilling out, one thing ive noticed with this new look market square is the water feature is wide open so anyone can run around in the water,



all fair and good and if its a realy hot day you can just go into the water and cool down which will be realy handy, but iam waiting till some cleaver spark slips over and cracks there head open, what then?



its a wonder no one has already slipped over and hurt themselfs and try to sue nottingham council so far, at least the council could put up a sign or 2 saying enter the water at your own risk,



also fuck know's how the design got chose for the new look market square as i think it dont look that great, but who am i to judge
