Impromtu nights out are always the best

I feel rough, help me Jebus!

I was about to go home last night and venture out on a run but just as I was leaving I was asked if I wanted a quick beer. It had been a tough day and the fact that I have no will power with that kind of thing I said yes…

…7 quick beers later I staggered back to Battersea in the pouring rain. Soaked.

I’ve got another tough day today so expect another hungover story tomorrow morning.

Plans for Saturday

What's going on this Saturday then?

Anything I have to bring?

Beer
Snacks...

Who's coming?

What sort of time? I should have sorted everything out with rugby by 6ish.

A blessing in disguise

I took a knock to by jaw playing rugby last night. I thought i'd broken it again. after a 4 hour wait at St thomas's Hospital Westminster they gave me the all clear to go.

I still can't shut my mouth.

I've done everything that I had to do at work so my boss had told me that I can head home at lunchtime!

Wwwhhhooopppiiieee!!!

Bomb alert...

Jeepers!

We've just had a message over the tannoy to tell us that we have been advised by the police to stay within the building.

A suspect vehicle has been found near work.

I thought something was odd when they were cordoning off one of the streets on my way to work.

CM5

I bought CM5 on Saturday. Oh dear. Lots of problems.

But I guess FM05 had lots of problems too.

I've just managed to download the patch so hopefully that will solve most of them.

We shall see.

I want to waste some money on a mp3 player.

Plus a pay review in June!!! That was out of the blue!!!!

Homerisms(49) = "I can't believe it! Reading and writing actually paid off!"

The pay review / bonus slips have turned up...

Hurry up. This is like waiting for exam results, or waiting for Santa.

I have a smile that is actually wider then my entire face

It is unconfirmed at the moment but I think I know what my pay rise will be next month. Don't know about my bonus yet. All confrimed tomorrow or early this week.

We have a flexible benefit system at work where you can pick and choose things like holidays, private health, pension etc, and I think it's been updated early.

Needless to say, if it is correct I will buy my entire readership one beer. Print out this page as a voucher. One voucher per person. Judge's (Me) verdict final. No cash substitutes.

Current readership: 3 (+2)

Thunder!

I went out to see the band Thunder last night with a mate from work.

Very good!

70s bluesy rock!

On another note, I looked into getting tickets for Ben Folds and was shocked to see them priced at £30 excluding booking/handling fees!

Fcuk off!

What a rip off.

Homerisms(45) = "Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"

Thursday 10 March 2005

I went out with Ross last night

I'm feeling tired now.

I only had about 6 pints but i'm shattered.

I doubt i'll be very productive today.

I'm organising a team night out so may do some work on that.

I will design a pool competition.

Holiday

Seeing how successful last year's holiday was, does anyone fancy doing a similar thing this year?

By similar thing, I mean not really a similar thing, as for one reason or another we did bugger all.

I'd like to point out that none of those reasons were because of me.

What a sad, sad world we live in

Big Brother wins the vote

More young Brits have voted in reality TV shows than are likely to vote at the next general election, according to a survey.

The YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph found fewer than 42% of first-time voters think they will vote in the election.

Yet 46% said they had already voted for contestants in shows such as Big Brother and Pop Idol.

The 18- to 22-year-olds, who make up nearly a 10th of the electorate, seemed to have little interest in party politics.

More than half claim not to know what a "constituency" is and nearly half said they had no idea who would make the best prime minister.

Tim has finally made it.

Last weekend I drove past The Amersham Arms, New Cross. For those not in the know, this is one of the London venues of the Legion of Doom's latest tour.

Guess who's playing there next month...

Chaz and Dave


Yes you heard right.

The mighty

Friday plans

Don't think i'll be able to get Friday off from work after all.

I have another special meeting to attend that has been postponed to tomorrow.
