BB Pact

It's bloody started again and will be on for god knows how many months.

What an absolute load of tripe it is and a real blight on society

Sign here for a pact against watching big brother, avoiding all of it's sponsors and those who advertise during it.

Be warned...

I love my job, and all my bosses are lovely...

Narrow boat update

Kris and Kirsty now pencilled in for one night in our mighty vessel.

We'll find a nice pub to moor up against, tell Kris where to meet us and he can find us on his sat nav.

The wonders of 21st century living!

Not sure which night it’ll be yet but it’ll mean that I will owe all of the original eight £9 each.

There’s also a possibility that Becky (flatmate) and another workmate will join us for one night. So the price may come down a little further. I will keep you informed.

Goody, goody gum drops

New 24, last 2 episodes next week. It's going to be good...

He, he. Jack kicks so much ass!

It's raining it's pouring

It's pretty much rained all day for the past two days here in London and it's great.

I really like the rain. I don't mind getting stuck in it when on my way home. It's nice and refreshing. It's been far too hot lately and hardly been comfortable commuting every day.

I've also purchased a lovely new umbrella but that kind of defeats the object of me liking the rain.

New phone saga

My new Sony Ericsson phone arrived at work on Monday but as I was at home waiting for my laptop to get delivered didn’t get it till yesterday morning.

The phone is really nice but upon trying it out it soon dawned on me that my poor chunky fingers were never going to get used to using it (dialling wand may be needed).

So I have just this minute popped it in the post back to CPW where they will be shipping me a lovely new Nokia N95. The contract is a little more expensive but I think the phone is substantially better than the Sony, that is, till the next one comes out.

I think I’ll probably get it delivered on Monday.

Scratch that… Damn you bank holidays!!! Probably get delivered on Tuesday.

Watch this space for my new phone review.

Milan v's Liverpool

Rematch of the 2005 final where I nearly left the pub at half time as the score was so bad (3-0). I was about to go out for a meal but needed the loo first and when I came back it was 3-1. Then Steve needed the loo and we’d scored again 3-2. There was no way I’d have left then. We ended up getting a penalty which was saved then converted on the rebound by Alonso to make it 3-3 and led us into extra time. 30 more minutes of painful oooing and arring till the penalties where we won due to the heroics of Dudek.

This year I predict a 0-5 thrashing by Liverpool. Bring it on! In truth I predict 0-0 with five minutes to go, so they bring on Fowler and he sneaks the cheeky winner with a toe poke over the line...

My worst idea of a game would be to score early on and have to sit back and watch 85 minutes of pressure whilst hoping to die.

Anyone fancy a bet?

Lloyd's 7s

Just got in after a very tough day. A good laugh all in all but will be feeling it tomorrow.

I played for Gallaghers in Lloyd's rugby 7s at Richmond's ground. We somehow managed to get to the semi and very nearly made it though to the final. Thank god we didn't win as the team that eventually won beat us in the group stage by around 30 points, bearing in mind we only play 14 minutes per game...

All in all a good day. A little sun burnt, a little drunk but home now so chilling out.

Gym

I've been to the gym 3 times this week. Nothing too difficult but the fact that i'm going is an improvment.

Gym status: 4 days out of 14
