Chris Morris and Peep Show
Radio Times Story
They won't say what it's about, they won't say when it's coming, but it doesn't matter: Chris Morris and the creators of Peep Show are collaborating and you can't miss it. Not least because whenever it comes, anything by Morris will cause a storm in the press.
Morris is best known for spiky satires such as Brass Eye and The Day Today, which so precisely cut through news and documentary television clichés that they're as painful as they are funny to watch. Whereas Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong are on a high writing the fifth series of Channel 4's Peep Show plus a second US pilot version.
It's Armstrong who has confirmed the project but won't reveal specifics: "I can't say anything more at the moment. Chris will announce further details when he wants to."

Big weekend for Stu
April met my parents for the first time and it went surprisingly well.
She also moved in yesterday and despite having far more stuff than expected, everything is more or less in place.

'New' phone
I finally handed my phone in to get fixed (flash and volume buttons), so now I am the proud owner of a Motorola Shit, It's a new model so you may not have heard of it.
They said it can take up to 14 days so I probably won't be as texty during that time.
I'm also a little sore after playing on Steve's Wii yesterday. My arm and shoulder are really achy today. I also played on his swing ball set so I guess it could be a combination of the two.

Football
Poor result for England last night. For the first 20 minutes I was quite optimistic, but as usual England reverted to normal and became crap again.
In better news, I managed to get Leeds promoted to the Premier League after taking over in January. I finished 5th but beat West Brom and then Derby in the play-off final. In the summer England won the European Championship, Sven moved to Bayern Munich and I was offered his old Man City job. All change…

Maybe I should get round to plugging in my broadband...

I have had broadband reconected to my new flat but till this point haven't been bothered. The thing is, there's a perfectly usable one somewhere near by that is always on. Maybe i'll do it tonight...

Gig
The Living End
I went to the Electric Ballroom in Camden with April last night to see the Living End. They’re an Australian heavy version of Greenday. Lead guitar, drummer and electric double bass.
Shaheen came along for a few beers and a bite to eat before hand and we also met up with a friend from work and his younger brother.
The venue was cool, much larger than expected. April thought that it would hold 200, but it was more like 1,000. At least half of the crowd were Australian, and at least half of them were red necks that drove Utes, had dingos called Blue and were called Shane.
The band and support act (Gyroscope) were good but a combination of me being old and the fact that I hadn’t heard them before stayed at the back with the comfort of the bar. April on the other hand went straight into the crowd and proceeded to jump up and down for an hour.

I'm fucking angry!!!!
An update on the deposit saga, this is my summary to Becky.
Hi Becky
How are things? Our deposit woes are still ongoing.
As I see it this is what is going on...
When the property was bought by the new landlord (Mr Edwards) the contracts that we had with Gary Sangra moved over to the new owner. Our original deposits were held with a third party company called Mercury Development.
I've been in touch with KFH and the new manager of the property Gill and Griff (something) for the past 3 weeks and I think we're finally getting somewhere. KFH never held our deposits they only handled the deal.
The issue we have is whether the deposits were transferred over to the new company / landlord when the purchase was made.
Here's the fun bit... Mr Edwards and Gary are on holiday.
Mr Edward is due back 'sometime next week'
Gary is in the Caribbean (probably spending our money) until the 28th.
Gary says that it's the new owner's responsibility however. Griff can't do anything till Mr Edwards gets back from his holiday.
I've told Griff that I expect a call from him next week once he's spoken to Mr Edwards, i'll chase on Wednesday if I haven't heard anything from him. I left him with by telling him that if things do not progress within the next couple of weeks that we will have to file a claim with the small claims court.
I've looked into this and it's quite simple and doesn't cost much. I'm leaving it all till next week now as it's really making me angry.
Anyway... how are things? Everything okay?
See you soon

Gym update
My interest in going to the gym has been rekindled. My initial plans was to go once ever three days. Currently it is just over once every five. If you take a rolling month it's 29% of days, but a more accurate look is a rolling two week where it's up to 57% of days I have been to the gym.
Not bad. Unless i'm going for a free boozy lunch there's no excuse not to go. So watch this space.
