last nights trip to tescos

well i poped to tescos on the way home last night 1st time ive been back since i was refused beer last year, i was amazed in how many teenagers were larking around the main entrance getting in the way of cars and shoppers the main danger was the kids on the bikes doing stunts with no regard of anyone or thing aroung them,

as i walked towards the main entrance i saw the secruity guard trying to encruage the kids to get lost and when was entering the shop i didnt have much hope of him getting rid of the kids but when i did my shop and on my way out i was suprised to see the kids had gone and he was smiling, he quite pollitly said eveing and me in return ended up having a 5 min convo with him one of our convos was that how i couldnt do his job as i wouldnt have the patience

he said he finds it hard at times but he just bits his lip and gets on with it, and i quite admired him ina way doing at times a realy shitty job as working as a shops security guard you get loads of shitty attitude from people but then again you'll get just as many people who are okay, but i still dont think i could do that job, also there is a tescos express on top of carlton hill which is a couple of minuets walk if that from where i liveand when iam walking past in the eveing the guard there looks so board and fed up i saw him last night while driving past he looked very fed up,

think this not working in a shop supermarket came from when i was a kid my school offered me work experience and the only thing they offered us was working at the local tescos, back then i had bigger ideas of what i wanted to do my dream job was to be a camra man for somewhere like the bbc or itv, so my parents tryed to get me in to central studios but they at the time wasnt taking any work experince people on, so in the end i stopped at school doing my school work while everyone did there work experince,

my teachers wasnt to inpressed but i was adiment i wasnt going to waste 2 weeks working for nothing in a supermaket, and to this day ive not worked in a shop or supermarket i was very near before i worked at the uni but i got the offer of the uni first, if i had to of taken that job at the supermarket i would of been happy to of stacked shelvs or behind the scences but i would never ever work on the checkouts or behind any of the counters i would be sick to death of asking peoiple for there club cards or if they wanted cash back everytime someone payed by there debit card

ive always had the thinking if you wanted cashback you'll ask theperson for it rather than to be asked, oh well talking of work i best get back to some as iam doing a 16 hour shift today have a goodun and stay safe

rock and chips

i was ment to of wrote this yesterday but never got round to it but sunday evening i watched that new bbc program called rock and chips the only fools and horses prequal i wasnt goign to make any judgement on the programtill i saw it myself, and i was quite pleased to say it was very good

it was good how they introduced the current caraters of only fools and horses as teenagers and the parents and other acters i enjoyed how they broght in freddy the frog played by nicholas lyndhurst but i didnt think he looked right playing a bad guy tho, it was intresting how the show focused it on del boys mum it answered a couple of questions of the only fools and horses show, and iam so pleased the producers didnt have a audiance laughing at every little thing all on all very inpressed such a shame the bbc cant continue to produce good telly like this as once they used to all the time

have a goodun and stay safe

mad world

reading the bbc news and seen another murder has happened in nottingham in lenton abby area of nottingham if i think iam right its the 3rd murder in as many weeks in lenton and radford areas this year and one in kimberly make it the 4th its getting a little scary to be honest as you just dont know whats round the corner you might be happly walking to where ever your going and some nutter will attack you for some unknown reason or even enter your home rob it and threten you with knives or what ever, they get away and if they get caught just get a slap on the wrist and get told not to do it again,

but if you go and tackle the intruder you could find yourself underarest and facing prison, whats that all about this is a open invertaion for any robber to come and rob your house and you have to stand there and let the sods do it cos if you intervine you could find yourself being arested for tackling the robber, if i ever was in this situation and i found someone breaking into my house while i was in i would break his knee caps with some kind of wooden object and dump the fucker in some park land and see what he dose then

ill get friends to say i was with them so its just his word against mine if he dares to go to the cops or logdes a complaint about me, but it is getting a bit daft where you cant defend yourself and what dose come as selfdefence these days i dont know its a mad world and dangerous out there last time i went to town for a drink on a saturday night it wasnt very good you only need to look at someone before they were asking what the fuck was you looking at, you just dont need all this attitude

i was watching some cop thing on telly over the weekend and this cop in america had pulled up this chap and found he was carrying a gun which is totaly okay as the yanks can carry arms, just think if this country could carry arms it would be madness there would be random shootings even on the busses it would be mad if some little fucker was listening to his music like they do these days on there phones and sometimes its quite loud and someone asked him to turn it off and he wouldnt turn it down you'll be able to shoot the fucker i would just to teach him a lesson i wouldnt shoot to kill but pop one or 2 in the knee cap give them a bit of pain for a few months

i dont know it will take a lot to sort the problems out in the once great nation but for now ill just plod along and keep meself safe

almost end of the 1st month of 2010

well the 1st month of the new year is almost over and done with and i must say its gone okay, been a long one and will be well ready for payday next week as ive had to tighten my budget this month but fingers crossed if nothing else unexpected crops up ill be okay through feburary,

the changes ive made to my lifestyle are coming on okay the eating and fitness are coming on quite nicely now its just a case of keepign it up and if i do ill have no problems the drinking situation iam goign for a whole ban for a while i think as ive cut right down this month ive only drank 3 itmes and on each of those times i hadnt drank a lot around 5 pints but next morning i just felt crap so theres 2 things i can do about this eiher start drinking regularly again to get used to the volume of beer i was used to drink or quite altogether for a while and iam goign to stop for a while as iam quite happy enough without the need for beer

i was thinking about the whole packing up beer before crimbo but i thoguht i'd try to cut down but its not doing anything for me i was just going for a beer on friday evening but when i do go for a drink i like a drink not just one or 2 pints but the only next time i will have a beer for the time being is when dinners comes up which iam quite looking forward to, but everything else is goign quite well so far for 2010 probly next month ill have a couple of more days out as this month we've just not had the weather for it so come on feb be nice weather wise

have a goodun and stay safe as theres still madduns around

stange dream

last night i had a very strange dream, the dream was set back 2 years ago i'd not long moved back upto nottingham and i'd started seeing this girl who ive know for a while but in real life we were only friends, we also have a friend in real life we both know but in the dream he was a oompa loompa and the dream was a real live everyday kinda situation, but every so often the oompa loompa kepted croping up as for one situation in the dream the girlfriend was showing my dad how to do someting on the computer and all of a sudden we could here the oompa loompa song and up behind the monitor he apeared the loompa song ended and he went away

one other situation in the dream was me and the girlfriend was going camping we were driving down the motorway and again the oompa song started and where the bonet the ommpa apeared singing the song and as soon as the song ended he went, the dream has played on my mind most the day as it was very weired

the dream was well strange as ive not had any wired dreams for quite a while ah well hoping for a normal nites sleep this evening

happy as punch

the last couple of years its been a bit of a roller coaster ive come full circle and i can say iam quite content with life at the moment yeah i could do with a little more money but iam quite happy, iam in a full time job which are hard to come by in these hard times iam also in kinda my own home no parents or sister nagging me and i have a nice sexy girlfriend who i say iam realy happy with, life at the moment is quite good

like i say i could do with a bit more money as i had a bit expensive december which has kinda wiped me out money wise, but pay day is soon i have enough food in the house to last me till payday and if i cant go out and what ever i dont mind as i know all my bills are payed and got no worries, and with me being a rather good cook i can russle up a good meal and enjoy a bit of telly

iam at the moment planning a holiday at the end of april with my girlfiend thinking we going to portagul for a week all inclusive so we'll not have to fuss about eating out all the time ive done that and its a pain in the arse least with all inclusive all you have to do is go downstairt to the resturant and tuck in, theres always loads of choice and ive not had a problem with the food unlike i have had wih going selfcatering, so iam quite looking forward to april and spending some time with my girlfirend

anyway hope your all having a good friday eve and stay safe out there

still amazing me

we have now had this bad weather for nearly 4 weeks now iam okay with it yeah it is a pain in the arse espcily on my road as its been iced up and very slippery for the last 3 weeks now yesterday wheni went up the road to the shops i could hardly walk without nearly ending up on my arse, i got a little thurther up the road and this little old lady was having trouble i saw her about to fall so i rushed over to her and stoped her from falling,

i hope the council start doing something about the side road sooner rather than later as they'll be lots more people going to a&e with broken or cracked arms and what ever, i was listening to bbc radio nottingham this morning and was in one way funny and another way i was bemused that people are still not coping with the icey roads and what ever

yeah i can understand people in the 1st week not being used to the bad weather but we have had it for nearly 4 weeks now surely people understand that they need to plan a lot more time and slow the FUCK down why do drivers still want to roam arond at 100 mph when you surely cant, and people wonder why theres accidents on our roads

and also people are still panic buying theres no need iam all sorted food wise i could russle up a meal no problems but a lot of todays people just done seem able to manage to plan there meals and use there head iam waiting for summer as ill not be hearing how cold it will be but god its hot aint it

have a goodun and stay safe as its still mad out there

new year new start

hope everyones new year is going okay mine is okay so far, slight changes to my life style are goign kinda okay the drinking is amost not there so far this year ive had 2 halfs a larger and this year ive had a vodka and vimto, so not bad at all i think,

but one of the things iam totaly failing on is getting up this morning i set my alarm at 6am i went to sleep almost as soon as me head hit the pillow but i dont think i even heard my alarm as i didnt wake up untill half 9 and didnt get up untill 10am, was quite pissed off but i think this getting up and getting my body clock sorted will be a hard job to sort,

but everything else is going okay the weight i gained over crimbo is goign down quite quickly stillnot doing as much cycling as i like to as of the weather but iam going to the gym more, the eating is kinda sorted ive been treating myself to 1 supper a week i know its only been 2 weeks since ive started this new routine but still needs work

the drinking thats going okay i guess, since new years eve ive only gone to the pub once which ive had 2 halfs a larger and this evening ive had a vodka and vimto as i want to finish my bottle of vodka off as it will be there for another few months if i dont finish it off this evening, so skytower theres your answer to your facebook comment lol

on another note iam watching this program on telly 10 years younger while iam writing this post its about this woman stylist who go to other women who have let themselfs go and transform them and try and make them 10 years younger or at least a bit younger, ive watched a couple of them and they do make a big difference to some of these womens lifes but this eve's one the woman tonight she has over a 100 pairs of shoes bluddy hell i only own 2 pairs of shoes lol one pair of shoes for work and best and a pair of trainers, i tell a lie i own 2 pairs of trainers one for best and one for doing odd jobs aroundthe house and what ever and a pair of steel toecaps and some walking boots so theres 5 pairs of shoes but even tho not the best realy to say ive only got 2 pairs of shoes of which i can go out in

anyway iam off for a soak and finish this quarter of bottle of vodka off have a goodun and stay safe as its a bit icey out there

the gym and 1st day back at work

today is my 1st day back towork after 3 weeks off as ive been off work for 3 weeks and hardly done anything at all as in gym or cycling i was suprised that i only put 3 lbs in weight on, but saying that ive not realy gone over the top with eating or drinking so i wasnt expecting a big weight gain anyway my main concern was my fittness level

so i went to the gym today as its open again as its works gym and with the uni being closed the gym was closed but it was open last week when the uni opened but i was off work fighting a cold and i wasnt up for much at all so i stopped in and kepted warm well i went ot the gym during my dinner break and was suprised that i hadnt lost any of my fitness

infact i was realy suprised goodness knows how i managed it maybe it was playfighting with my girlfriend or whatever but iam pleased wiht the fact ive not lost any of my fitness, now its the case of getting my routine sorted as in going to bed and getting up and being active as i want to get up at 6am most mornings and get out for a hour for a walk / run along with my gym work, the problem ive been having for the last couple of months is not the waking up is the getting out of bed

i wake up around 6am most morings i say 10 more mins and find out when i wake up again i have had another 2 - 3 hours sleep and its 9am, but the last couplel of days i have been making a effort in trying to get up ive been getting up at 8am better but iam sure i can do better and make the most of my morning

and with it being my 1st day back at work after a 3 week break from work i was suprised to find the lake still frozen over in most places its been like this since and before i broke up from work 23rd december, ive not missed much by the sounds of things and life is returning to the uni after the crimbo break

and talking of which i best get some work done tme to kick some students out and lock some buildings up

back to work

my 3 week break has gone quite well got lots done including plently of time on the sofa watching the telly or on me xbox, even tho ive enjoyed my time off work iam ready to go back tomorrow goingto be intresting to see how the uni copes with this weather it seems to be business as normal at work we shall see,

while i was off one of my jobs was to sort me music out and get it in some kind of order, as i now normaly play it on the pc i find it easyer to sort and store the storing bit has been okay but the sorting hasnt ive let that go a bit, so ive redownloaded a bit of my collection and added a bit more i have reloaded my music libary on my winamp player and now its saying i have 25,000 mp3's which is quite a lot i have also been making some play lists up so i can play a certain kind of music or have music playing from one artist or a mix of everything,

also i have been making a album list up as iam getting quite a lot of music now i need to know what i have got that is a work in progress and before you ask i have backed all my music up onto dvd's so if my pc crashes ive still got my music collection unlike before i lost 15,000 mp3's they were all sorted and play lists made and i did cry but iam back to where i was and better iam being geeky here but i have also backed my playlists up as well

ill try and go out for a walk this afternoon as ive not been out the house since friday evening as ive been trying to fight off a cold and iam starting to feel a bit of a hermit think returning to work is going to be a shock to the system, it still makes me laugh how the uk cant cope with a bit of snow it realy dose it only needs to snow like it is doing now for a good few hours in the evening and we will be bolloxed again for a couple of days

anyway enough of me going on stay warm and be carefull out there i know iam

the weather

hasnt this new year gone off with a bang cold snowy weather but the whole of the uk seems to go to a standstill when we ever seem to have a couple of inches of snow, but when we do have some snow why do we always come to a standstill and people go crazy on the roads, i understand its totaly different driving in the snow so why dont people use a bit of common sence and drive a bit slower and not bother going out unless realy nessercery

since ive been off work i broke up on the 24th of december i think ive only been out in my car 4 times, and 3 of those times it was hard work as conditions were quite bad but a lot of people still wanted to drive around at a 100mph, not me i go round very carefully so i dont end up like so many others crashing iam back at work monday 11th of jan i might even cycle to work i dont mind the cold as such i just have to be extra carefull

i think the news have been making a big issue over the weather yes it is bad but a lotof the main roads in nottingham are okay, its just the side roads which are a problem all people need to do is take a bit more time in there journeys thats all and also be prepaird as in take a shovel so if you do end up in a bit of trouble you can dig yourself out,

problem with people these days is they rush around wanting everything done yesterday but its not always possible everyone needs to chill a bit and think and think of others for once, and i say once a gain slow down a bit and why oh why are people going mad at the shops stocking up i can understand people stocking up in remote areas but city's and towns theres no need i do have a bit more bread and cobs in the freezer than i normaly do only cos i dont realy want to be out but ive not gone overboard like some of them are doing

by the looks of things we got this cold spell for a while so come on people stop acting the twat use your common sence ??????????

have a goodun you lot

new year cold start

I was ment to have done this post a couple of days ago but happy new year all hope everyone has all recovered i wasnt to bad new years day a little tired maybe but nothing major tho, at this time of year people are on about making resoultions and what ever, iam not bothering this year as like me many people fail but this year iam making a couple of little changes to my life style



one is to kinda stop drinking i will only now have a beer on special occations like when i meet dinners for a beer or 2 which looks like its going to be end of the month, but one reason iam doing this is cos i now dont drink as much as i used to, i used to go out for a drink 5 to 6 times a week, and yes iam was a big drinker i could sink 6 pints a night no problems and at weekends anything upto and over 10 but over the last 2 years i realy have cut it right down i go out once a week maybe twice and when i do go for a pint these days i wake up feeling crap and most the next day is all but wasted while iam recovering,



and before anyone sugests trying hangover cures or what ever ive tryed and nothing seems to work, like i say iam not totaly quitting having a beer but will only drink once and a while i did stop drinking once before i did it for 8 months, but i did start again, drinking these days for me isnt just to get drunk like it once was its more a socail thing see me mates at the pub for a hour or 2 catch up with what me mates have done during the week gamer of pool and a laugh and take the piss out of each other if the ocation arises



plus this year i want to lose that final bit of weight so a tweak here and there to my diet nothing drasic but needs to be done, and also try and get my sleepig pattern sorted as its realy crap at the mo, iam finding iam waking up when i want but the getting out of bed is the hard bit, i normaly say 10 more mins and when i next wake up ive had another hour or 2 in bed so hopefully i can sort that our think ive found a way to get me out of bed just move my alarm clock to the other side of the room so i have to get out of bed to turn it off rather than just extend my arm out lets see hey


hope your all keeping warm and safe as its a bit mad out there
