BOOORRRRIIINNNGGG????

Well another lovely sunny day.....spent a few hours out in the garden this morning reading Auto Express......now I remember why I stopped having it delivered before.....'This week we try out vehicles A,B and C. Next week it will be A v B, the week after B v C and then A v C and of course we won't tell you anything worth knowing because we want to drive the £330k super cars not the ones that anybody can afford'....... oh and then there are the adverts.....need plenty of adverts to keep the cost down.......Whilst reading the thing I throat tested a couple of cans of John Smiths Extra Smooth......the body was excellent, the colour was lovely, the price very affordable and the m(ouths) p(er) g(lass) extremely satisfying, it's draw back? it only comes in one model....the 440ml. I'm sure with such a small price only one model will not stop it keep going for a long time.........in fact I think I'm going to test some other very similar models.

another week flashes by.............

Geee that was a quick week....... 9 days since might last blog. Some 'good' news about some extra money now I've got my CPC. Yesterday morning the boss turns up about 5 a m which is a big shock in itself. I went in to pass on some info and we start chatting about business in general when he suddenly tells me he may be able to get me some more money for my extra responsibilities but it may be via overtime. I've alway said I don't mind doing it on overtime or they take some of my team leader jobs off me. More money is being asked for in next years capex budget...... so here's hoping! Still not had my full certificate from OCR but it shouldn't be long now. Hmmmm watching one of those 'revealing the truth about UFOs' progs. I a race is so advanced that they can fly across millions of miles of space, why would they bother hovering around lit up like a xmas tree?........ WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY BUT WE LIKE THE LIGHTS! lolololol

All's quiet on the north eastern front.......

Well it's been over a week since my last blog, it's okay Kris I won't say anything else about 'daily blogs' I now know it's not always easy, convenient or possible to write something every day. Life has been pretty quiet since last blog, P is now talking again, that's all sorted after a heart to heart last Saturday on the way home from Asda(working not shopping) and it wasn't anything to do with me......... which is unusual lol. The weekend at the airport was the usual , idiots all over the place. Poor P had a big disappointment on Tuesday evening, her daughter is on holiday but isn't coming to Sunderland to see her, I was late getting out of work and then got caught for 27 mins in a queue for petrol(think Tesco had a power prob) which meant I didn't get home until about 19:45. Gemma sent a text to her mam saying she was going out about 16:00. P thinks me being late was due to Gemma getting on the train(the timings are perfect for this) Her look when I pulled up and it was only me in the car.......I felt so sorry for her! Sorry love it's only meeeeeeee.

will men EVER understand women fully?

A question I know that is impossible to answer, then why am I asking? Last night my partner was sat on the settee talking on the phone to her daughter whilst I sat there watching the TV with the sound muted so they could talk without shouting. They finish speaking and the phone is put back on it's holder, I make a comment about her daughter being on line as she was speaking to her( I was defraging the laptop at the time and she said hello via msn messenger) The next thing I know P is tossing and turning on the settee like someone with insomnia who hasn't slept for 3 days. She then gets up walks out of the room and into the kitchen to have a cigarette. Shortly afterwards she storms up stairs and that's the last I see of her till I go to bed myself. This morning I get up, go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and she's sat on the foot stool. I fill the kettle, she gets up and walks out, goes upstairs and by the way the Netgear box is flashing goes on line using the pc upstairs. I fire up the laptop and check my mail, there's one from Littlewoods for her so I forward it to her in box. Next thing I know she storms downstairs in her Asda uniform, picks up my cup and takes it to the kitchen. Then out the front door into the car and off I presume to work....... all this without a word being spoken. Have I done/not done something ? Could someone please tell me because I am clueless!

how to upset your boss..........

Attended the latest team brief last night at work....... we talked thru the usual things and discussed the last meeting's minutes...... boss announces that I've passed my CPC exam and then starts to list the extra stuff I'll be responsible for, then him and his deputy chirp up " with no extra pay of course" to which the reply was " no extra pay, no extra responsibilities". I don't think they realise that I am serious about that, I agreed to do the course NOT to take on extra work. Unlike them I have 6 other staff to supervise and my own work to do and cannot 'lock myself away' in an office for 2 hours. Despite all this they can't upset me this week, with two more additions to the junior clan life is looking great.......C'MON IZZYYYYY!!!.......C'Mon NOAH!!! GIVE 'EM WOT FOR!...... Oh and hope you love your new baby sister Thomas.

A good time was had by all .......... mostly!

I am now back home after a weekend away and a few days with family. Spent Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday in Minehead sampling the local Guinness....... oh! and meeting some friends from 1967 for the first time since then. Unfortunately the main person I hoped to see again was ill and couldn't make it. Amazingly a former teacher remembered me.....whether for good or bad reasons, I didn't ask lololol. Popped in to see the latest addition to the family, Noah born 29-04-09 at 21:02 and weighing in at a healthy 9lbs 10ozs. My daughter in law who is expecting another addition to the clan, is stuck in hospital at the moment with blood pressure and protein problems, my son is waiting to find out what will happen now. I enjoyed staying with my son and family as my eldest grandson is now at that age where you can hold a conversation with him, sometimes getting answers that are understandable and sometimes gobbledygook but said with such sincerity that they must mean something and leave you wishing you understood. Now I'm home and back to reality again.
