bullying

one of the storys in the news ive been following a little bit is the bullying row at downing stree, and its made me smile a little at how the prime minister has a slight temper and how some of his staff has been bullyed i cant realy work out who has been doing the bullying as such as if its gordon brown or other members of staff bullying other staff but with the media how it is they make such a big deal with it,

me myself have been bullyed quite a lot thorogh my life most of it was in my childhood and teens luckily ive not had much problems with work life apart from one or 2 episodes but i have sorted the work related bullying out meself and made the other person look silly rather than use my fists like i used to,

but when i was a child the bullying was quite bad, as ive had speech and language problems i was prime target for other kids to take the piss and for years i had lots of mental tourcher at the hands of them but it idid end when i decied to take matters into my own hands, the only way it ended was when i started to fight as when i told the teachers or houseparents as i was a border at school i got beat up by the other kids as i told on them

i think i was around 13 when it all came to ahead i can remember i didnt want to go to school on the monday as i knew it would be anothe week of hell, and wasnt i right i hadnt been at school for half an hour before i got targeted in the toilets and by tea time that evening i was ringing my parents up to come to pick me up and they did,

i was still being chased around infact it was like i was being hunted the only reason i didnt get a beating was my dad and teachers found me, after a bit of talk my dad took me home andi didnt go back for a week, but during that time my dad and uncle taught me some basics of fighting

my dad was into judo at the time and my uncle was in to karate so they taught me the basics like blocking punches a couple of kicks and towards the end of the week i was fairly confident person,

so monday morning i went back to school unknowing what had happend i noticed things had happened i found out that the senior housing units at school had a mini riot nothing to bad but most of the senior lads had barracaded themselfs in the units and spent the week locked in, what caused this was that the senior lads were fed up with being treated like kids which in a way i understood as we were treated like kids

but the riot had ended smoothly and normal service had resumed, i got to school monday morning and i was hearing things of what happened while i was off, no one had come to pick on me or anything and i was quite suprised and happliy confident it was goign to be a trouble free week, but how wrong was i come morning brerak,

i was surrounded by a lot of the lads and the ringleaded was in the middle of the circle with me he was asking where i had been the last week, after words i told him not to mess with me or else and he said or else what so i launched into him with a couple of flying kicks and a chuck over my shoulder, he was totaly stunned i winded him he couldnt move i think the shock of a kid 2 years younger than him flooring him and the rest of the kids looked in amazement at me

not knowing what to do they looked at me and i looked at them and now i was super confident i was ready for anything, i said who's next 2 of his mates came for me and i managed to floor them as well with this being done the rest of the lads moved along and broke the circle and by this time the teachers had come along to see what the fuss was,

all they saw was 3 lads grovling onthe floor with the wind knocked out of them they asked if anything was wrong and we said nothing was wrong and that was that, i didnt have no more kids at school bully me we took the micky out of each other but thats was the worse of it, i was took to one side later that day by the headmaster and all he said to me was that if he ever saw me in another fight like that again there would be trouble and there wasnt realy had the odd scrapp but nothing to serious

i may post one or 2 more cases of being bullyed as theres quite a few more storys i could tell like i was almost kicked out of college for fighting and almost breaking someones leg but they can be for aother post

weather

well iam not normaly one for moaning about the wather but iam getting fed up with this winter and the very sudden changes in the weather we having at the moment, like today i was goign to cycle to work got myself ready for work and just about to go out the house and it chucked it down, do i drove in to work but 10 mins after the rain started it stopped but i suppose it is winter after all

i think also the problem is the last few years we have had very mild winters and i think people have forgotten winter is all about the cold snow ice and rainand this winter has been the 1st proper winter this country has seen for quite a long time, this time last year i had quite a few days out but this year ive not had one, but if the weather is okay ill be going to skeg i think for the day as iam ready for a day out as ive not been anywhere for ages

and while iam in skeg iam sure to have some fish and chips and if the sun is shining ill have them to take out and sit out on the beach, so come on weather be nice and no one sing or do there rain dance or ill not be a happy chappy

f1

iam looking forward to this years formular 1 season very much they have had a few rule changes as in no more refuling also the introduction of 4 new teams virgin racing, lotus f1 which i like the look of there car very much campos meta 1 and us f1 it will be intresting to see how jenson button and lewis hamilton will work out as a team i think jenson has made a big mistake in going to mclaren as with lewis being there boy wonder i think he will be pushed to one side,

i also enjoyed last years formula 1 season as it was quite equaly matched and it was 4 teams fighting for number 1 spot to nearly the end of the season but what angered me was how in the past seasons when michael schumacher kept winning the press and who ever else was involved in f1 were moaning how boring the sport was getting, last season we saw the brawn team with the 1st 6 races with jenson button taking the 1st 6 races then he started to wobble a bit as other teams were catching up andthe press were on jensons back saying he wasnt good enough, you just cant seem to win either way but iam not laying on any bets yet till the 1st race to see how the cars will cope

i think this years formula 1 will be the best for ages as a lot of teams wil be as good as each other and i dont think there will be just one team who will win all the time come on next month for the 1st race

another week out the way

well 2010 has realy gone with a bang been so busy work wise and social life has been quite busy as well this weekend iam working saturday and sunday so my next day off is goign to be next sunday i cant moan as come spring summer ill have a bit of money to go out for the day weekend, and i want to do a bit of going out this year as last year my days out started well but by end of feb kinda ended up non exstisent,

this week saw me turning 34 i dont normaly fuss about birthdays but this year a few people fussed about me which was nice i even got a cake from my girlfriend ive not had a birthday cake since i was a kid but nice all the same, wednesday as it was my birthday i went to the big wok with my girlfreind which was nice but ive got to get her back as she got it annouced over the speakers and i was given a cake with a candle on again not had any fuss like it since i was a kid but it was nice,

car touch wood seems to be running okay no problems as such since my engin was rebuilt and costing me 600 quid, but on the plus its a x reg car and now when iam crusing at 70 in 5th gear the ref counter is ticking over at around 2700 reffs so my petrol consumpion will be a bit more better, but i still need to clean the car and give it a good polish i might do that on my day off on 9th of march,

speaking of work i best get me arse into gear as me dad will be round in 15 mins to pick me up

a bit of a shock

while at the gym today i weighed myself on one of thses machines which tells you what weight you should be for your hight and age and how over weight you are, and i had a bit of a shock when i found out i was still 4 and a half stone over weight, i should be around nine and a half to 10 stones iam thinking ill never be 10 stones but my target at the moment is to get down to 13 stone and i think ill look okay

as i have already lost 2 stone in weight over the last year and a half and iam quite inpressed in how differenti look and now that i dont have man boobs, but i was still shocked to know i was still 4 and a half stone over weight but when i get down to 13 stone i think ill look quite good and about right, with the fittness it has taken a bit of a back seat of late but thats been down to me being lazy and my bad body clock, but iam making a big effort to get back to the gym and been goign back for a couple of weeks now but ive just got to make myself motivated

and for the cycling i realy need to make a effort again as i was doing realy well and again ive not bothered as of me being lazy and the weather hasnt been a help either of late but ill get back into that soon enogh, but one thing i think iam sorting out is my body clock for the last week and a half ive been getting up between half 7 and 8am most mornings which is better than half 9 and 11am, least i can get some stuff done beforei go to work, i still want to inprove on the getting up but i think it will take a bit of time tho to get my body clock totaly sorted but when i do i think the exercise will inprove

valentines day

well normaly iam not to borthered about these kind of days its just anther money making day for the shops but as its been 3 years since ive had to send a card to a girl i thoguht i'd make the effort this year as ive been seeing my girlfriend for 6 months now and its going quite well, i did mention from early feb that i wouldnt be taking her out for valentines day and she seemed okay with that,

i got her a car with 2 bunches of flower one of them was roses and the other was some colourfull flowers, i also got her a box of chocs and a bear as she likes her soft toys, i also cooked a nice dinner so was all good realy all in all had a good afternoon and evening together,

infact the whole weekend went well i got loads done which ive been putting off for ages and iam even ontop of my music collection getting it in some sort of order

bank of mum and dad

just watched this program call bank of mun and dad, its where parents go and live with there kids for a week who got themselfs into debt, this couple this evening are 26,000 quid in debt there parents go through all there paper work of what they've spent and found where they have gone wrong,

the parents are horrified in how much the debt is but the daugher andher boyfriend arent bothered in the slightest and they dont seem to want to do owt the parents say, they have a car each and paying both monthly and the dad said to the daughters boyfriend to use a bike for a week as it was a 12 minuet ride and he moaned like a kid, they both smoke 20 fags a day which costs them 200 quid a month, they have 12 credit cards between them and the daughters excuse is well if i havnt got the money i can still get it if i like it they blow 80 quid ona night out and thats not including taxis and takeaways

but as the program went on they did give there new buget a go i myself have been in debt and it isnt very nice iam out of it now but at the time it was easy to spend money you havnt got and not have to worry about it but it catches up with you if you dont pay it off right away but i know now that iam never going to get in to that situation, this program bank of mum and dad is good and intresting to see how people live and throw away money then intresting to see the follow up to see how they get on 6 months later most make it and are happy and some struggle

i just hope i never get into as bad debt as some of these as i dont think i could handle the stress as the slight debt i was in worryed me to death, but living is expsenive and hard but you just have to be sensible, at the moment my biggest expense after my rent is food living by myself is hard not to waste a lot of food, but iam getting used to using things up and even if i dont get round to using my fresh veg i make someting out of it now and it lasts a couple of more days,

thats enough of me going off time for a soak and a read have a goodun and stay safe

press

i dont know about you but iam getting sick and tired with hearing about every little thing in the press about people private lives, iam sick to death of jordan and that alex who cares i dont and the big fuss about john terry iam fed up of hearing about them

jordan fuck off your a slapper who shouldnt desverve kids your swanning around like you havnt got a care in the world while your kids are at home with nannys when there dad could be looking after them get your arse in to gear woman

and the john terry thing well yeah he did cheat got caught out now leave him be to sort things out and maybe get his captains job back as i think it would be the best thing for england maybe ferdinand might make a good captain well have to see but the press are just a arse fuck at the moment and now portsmouth manager has been caught going to a borthal who cares his wife knows about it and everyone is happy so press leave alone trying to make trouble for people

2010 going okay so far

well 2010 has gone okay so far, just dont seemto have much self time at the moment but apart from that things are going quite smoothly, work is busy i did a 17 hour day saturday iam getting as much overtime as i can at the moment try and save a little for my days and weekends away for a bit later in the year as i would like to get out and about more this year

the only thing wrong with 2010 so far is my body clock is still wanky i am waking up but i just cant seem to get out of bed, i say ill have 10 more mins then the next time i wake up its gone half 9 just seem to be wasting so much time in bed when i dont need to hopefully ill sort my body clock out before to long, i think having a buggered body clock is effecting my eating pattern a little bit as well, as i like to have my proper dinner at midday

but when i dont get up untill after half 9 somtimes i dont feel like a big dinner just a bit of breakfast and it buggers things up ill sort it sooner rather than later but on a whole 2010 is goign quite well, i think 2008/2009 are well and truely behind me
