I'm Home

We'll I'm home from holiday, and I can honestly say that I'm absolutly gutted to be home. Infact if it wasn't for the dogs, we wouldn't have come home. Property in Malta is really cheap and we could easily afford to live there.We both got offered jobs which sadly we couldn't except.We may go back out at christmas and see if we can rent a place out there so that we can go for long weekend and bank holidays. It's only 2 and half hours away and you can get cheap flights out there.

Anyway, work is bad. Nick has gone, I want to go, Julia wants to go and Tony is going.I've pretty much shut off from it now and just do whatever I can, if it don't all get done anymore I don't care..whatever! On top of that, our wages haven't gone in the bank, so I've spent this bank holiday weekend indoors with 60p in the bank..great!!

Anyway, here's some holiday snaps!.

This was the first day there

The view from our room at sunset

The view from our room looking over the Med.

Two cocks on a rock!!..( I love this photo! )

The blue lagoon

Lee..erm, tired and emotional shall we say

Me in the same state

2500 feet above sea level in Taomino in Sicily

Lee with Mount Etna ( letting off steam! ) in the background ( cool photo )

This photo really doesn't do this view justice, but this was a Roman Amphitheatre with Etna in the background.

If you look closely, you can see the houses that are built on the edge of that cliff..crazy Italian bastards!

Halfway up Mount Etna with the dried up lava flow from the 1991 eruption.Some crazy Italian was trying to flog me a rock of lava for 2 Euros. I pointed out that there was plenty that was free.

3 quarters of the way up Etna, just at the bottom of the ski slopes.

I made Lee climb up this old crator, again this doesn't really convey the true size of the thing.

Lee just before moaning about the volcanic rock in his trainers.

Looking down over the coast of Sicily with more old crators going off into the distance.

A house that didn't quite make it. There are loads buried underneath the rock.

Rock and Roll

Hey all. I'm wrighting this when I'm supposed to be pavking for my holiday. We're off to Malta in the morning finally. This weekend has been nothing but grief though. Firstly we had to take Gussy to the vets on Friday, as he was in obvious pain and was struggling to get about. It turns out he's got arthritus in his back legs. We got him sorted with some medicine but we came out £46 ( $92 ) poorer. I got home with him to find that me satalite box had packed up, so no T.V apart from 3 channels ( I cant get channel 4 ), then yesterday I was topping up the oil and water in the car and found that an air return pipe had split, so I had to get that replaced today.

 

Anyway. A couple of Fridays ago we went to see Status Quo at Rochester castle which is only a 10 minute walk from here.

As you can see I was on the beer but it was a really good night and they played well. I didn't want to go at first because I've seen them to many times and I got kind of bored with it, but the 7 pints I had sorted that out!

Right I really should go and pack. It's 9.23pm and I've not any of it yet.

 

I'll catch you all in a couple of weeks...take care all!!

Again..I am Still alive

Well I'm still about. I kind of lost a bit of interest in doing this, as most of the time I was just bitching about work and stuff, and I really wasn't in a good head place. I'm a lot happier now ( I'm sure it's the weather ).

Anyway, times are sure tough aren't they? Petrol's through the roof ( $2.36 ish a Litre!! ) foods gone up, gas and electric up 40%, it's unreal. I've even had to change the food the dogs we're eating because it was costing me £11 a week. Who know's what can be done about it.

Thats a photo of my head after I fell over at 2 in the morning one night and split my head open and knocked myself out on a guitar. It smarted I can tell you. It's healed up now, but I've got a loverly Harry Potter type scar on my head now.

Lee and me are off to Malta again in 3 weeks time. I can't wait. It'll be nice to get away together and spend some quality time. He's done a couple of shows, I learnt one on the morning of the show on the drums and plyed for him, the other one was The Full Monty, and much to his credit he did get his knob out on stage. I would'nt have done it.

I've found a way that I can get into the U.S.A. So next year we are going to go to New York for a week. We've had it priced up and we can afford to go to the 5 star ( count em! ) Waldorf Astoria in Manhatten. I sooooo want to go, and if my little plan works, then we'll look at visiting other parts. It should work.

Right I'm off for my dinner.

New Update

Sorry people I'm still alive. I've not posted as I've not really wanted to. I've been in a very very dark place the last 6 weeks or so. I'm out of it now I think. Well whats happened.

Last Friday I had the day off work to help Lee out with a musical the he was playing for. He teaches these kids on a Sunday for a dance school that his friend runs, and this was there end of term show. So anyway, I learnt the entire musical Grease on the drums on Friday morning. I've never really heard the musical version before, so I didn't know half the songs. We got through it though, and I did enjoy it, the big bonus was we didn't row once..i just did as I was told!

This week he's in doing the Full Monty show at our local big theatre. He's got to get his cock out and everything...lol. I'm going with my nephew and my Mum ( how embarising ) on Friday night. I wont laugh ( I promise!! ) He's working so hard at the moment. He's doing ( done ) 3 shows, working a job, teaching on a Sunday and going to college all at the same time. I'm so proud of him, he knows what he wants to do, and it's a sacrifice at the moment as I only get to be woth him once or twice a week ( although we do speak every day ) but I know it's for the good in the long run. I do love him.

Work sucks donkey bollocks!! It's awfull. Somehow it's become obvious the people they got rid of we're the people that kept the atmosphere alive in there. It's fucking dead, and at times you get bollocked for being to loud, then you get told to be quiet, so you do, then you get bollocked for being moody. You cant fucking win!!! I've told Natalie that I'm activly looking for a job elsewere. There may be a job in the office coming up in October, but I've got a feeling I'm going to get fucked over for it.

Anyway, I hope your all well, and even though I've been hiding, I've been thinking about you all!!

The Culling Of The Herd

Well the cull has happened. We lost.

1 - Flagpole Knickers. No great suprise as her mouth did more work than her hands did, and at least we wont have to listen to her fucking boring life anymore.

2 - Moaner Linda. As the name goes..loverly woman but by fuck did she moan.

3 - Gill. I liked Gill, daft as a sack of spanners but she was ok.

4 - Lucy. Grassing cunt.

5 - Carolynn. Another on as daft as fuck, but she was ok really.

6 -Pauline. No loss, she was a shit cleaner. In more ways than one.



The suprise's of the day ( more like dissapointments! ) was that Major Fuck up and Thrush stayed. How the major managed to keep her job is anyones guess. I f it was anyone else they would have been out ages ago.
Its been odd this week with them gone. Everybody is down by the seems of it. I was today. I have a feeling I'm getting stitched up a bit, but who knows.

We'll have to see how things go.

He's just a boy who has lost his way
He's a rebel and he's all run down.

More Good News

Well boys and girls, this week has been interesting ( and it's only Monday ). We recieved letters this morning saying that we have lost a £500,000 contract ( nearly $1,000 000 ish ) and they are going to have to make people redundant. Reading between the lines of the letter it looks like they are getting rid of the dead wood, which is a good thing. So Thrush, Ting Tong and General Fuck Up might be going ( Here's hoping!! ) Aunty couldn't care but Flagpole Knickers  was quiet and bricking it. She's recently just got a house with her latest fuck buddy, so she was all me me me again today for a change. I'm not fussed really to be honest, you can always get another job.

The weather has been funny again. On Friday I had my air conditioning on in the car on the way home, and on Sunday I woke up to 3 inch's....................of snow of snow on the ground...fucked up that was. Global warming ay?

I dived in from work on Wednesday and ordered my Queen tickets for the 02 arena in October. I cant wait. I went to see them in 1986 at Wembley stadium and Knebworth park, and I got to the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. There's something about seeing them live that is nothing like seeing any other band, and I have a feeling that this maybe one of the last time's they go out. I hope not.

P.S. Gaz..I not that fucking fat. I'm 14.5 but I would like to be 11.5 to 12 stone. Cheeky bastard...lol x

Tommy Tits

I've not been a well bunny over this weekend, I've had a nasty case of the tom tits. I think there is a bug going round because Nick has had it aswell. It's a good way to lose some weight though.

I've got 2 years to lose 3 stone at least, I dont want to be to heavy for my wedding photo's. Lee's gone into overkill with it though. Last night he had me looking at wedding cakes online ( Pleeeeaaase! ) asking what one I liked. I though a tray of fairy cakes would be funny but apparantly not, neither is getting married in a brewery so I'm told. I think it's a great idea.

Work is getting back to normal at last. It's not been so manic the last week, and I've not really got the ump with anyone. Miss Non Conformance queen ( Major Fuckup ) has been out doing herself though, Julia has been wrighting them out like doctor wrights notes out for cream at the clap clinic. It'll keep Natalie and James busy when the reviews come round. Speaking off which, I filled my assesment for out with all the bile and hate I could summon..it'll make for an interesting assesment meeting.
