Crafty police

I wonder who left the suspicious package lying around in the first place...

Barmaid Samantha Cumberpatch, 30, said: "The police were here about three or four hours."They told us to keep the front door to the pub shut and to keep the windows closed.

PC Crafty McDodgy said afterwards "we didn't touch a drop"

Result

I had lunch with James today and there wasn't enough time to grab lunch on the way back to the office.

Luckily we've got a load of graduates in today and there's loads of left over sandwiches, sausage rolls and pork pies!

Result!

Plus, before knowing this I did a sneaky walk of shame and grabbed a packet of jaffa cakes and some hob nobs. That's almost a three course meal.

Bloody hell! 5 Years!

I've just noticed that i've managed to keep this spreadsheet going for over 5 years! Wow! What a loser...

Cease fire

It's been around a month since Poppet and Biscuit last brought something into the house, woo hoo! Maybe they're just eating them instead...

Shame it won't be released in time for the bbq

New Blu ray

I bought the blu ray last night and as with all new technology in my hands, it's going to take some work.

Firstly, the new HDmi cable wasn't long enough and secondly my TV only has one HDmi slot so i'm going to have to buy a splitter.

Doh!

On the plus side though, it does work, and I no longer have red tinted dvds.

Picking up the meat tonight

I'm picking up the meat for the bbq tonight. James suggested meeting me half way but he's in Essex which is the other side of the river from me so he would have to pay £3 in tolls so I said that I would do it. After all, he's doing me the favour in getting the meat in the first place. Also, exchanging meat for cash in a lay by sounds a bit dodgy to me.

We're going to have a burger off, April's making some Nigella burgers with half the mince, and James' girlfriend is making her own recipe with the other half. If there's any left over i'll make some spicy Stu special burgers. They'll be so hot you can no longer taste the cider...

Blu ray

After getting the floor done we've decided to get rid of the dvd player / amp. It's a good system but there are too many wires (that can no longer be placed under the carpet), we now use my new stereo for sound and the only way to connect it to my TV was through scart (which has some sort of problem with it, hence the red hue when playing dvds). I've seen half decent ones for £140 so I might get one next month.

But then I thought I could get a PS3 instead. Then I looked at the price and they're still pretty expensive so doubt it.

This sort of thing never happened when I was a kid

Seagal is a retard

I watched a recorded Seagal film last night (April's upstairs so I can watch what I want). Jeez it was bad, all he seems to do is slap people really quickly. It was that bad I can't even remember what it was called. But I guess it doesn't really matter as once you've seen one Seagal film you've probably watched the lot.

Looking on IMdb, I think it was Pistol Whipped. Not sure why it was called that as I don't think I saw one instance of pistol whipping. 5.6 / 10 seems a bit high. I'll give it 48 /100

Tag Line: They came to collect a debt. He paid in full.

I also watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, on Monday, crap.

IMdb 6.6 / 10, SC 59 /100
