Grim shiznit abounds... (possibly)

This morning we were told that we need to come into work on Tuesday morning for an "important meeting". The current outlook is not good and all of us have started to fear the worst - a possible end to the night team!! There's little point carrying on with particular line because there's no forthcoming info on it.

Back to the real world (or, at least, as real as it gets for me...)

This morning was the first chance I actually got to splurge my new wages so I went into Swansea City with Ralph and bought stuff. My shopping list is as follows:

1 Tent - £24.99
1 Sleeping Bag - £29.99
1 Sleeping Mat - £9.99
1 My Little Eye DVD - £17.99
1 Alistair Sim Double Bill DVD - £12.99
1 DVD full of trailers and junk - Free
1 Happy Dibbie - Priceless

Now I'm just short of some moshpit clothes and my Download Festival dreams are complete (apart from actually going to it obvously). I'm still excited which RAWKS.

Once I got back from town I called the vendor of the house I want to buy and she seems really nice. We had a decent conversation and I'm going to see the house as soon as possible. Whether I'll be able to afford it or not remains to be seen. That out of the way I went to bed and watched "School for Scoundrels" it's a classic and it's been years since I last saw it. I have decided that when I grow up I want to be Terry-Thomas. I'm not going to let the fact that I am grown up deter me either.

Back, rested and back to work... Bummer... Enough of the moaning already!! I have just spent one of the most amazing weeks of my life with some of the most special people I know and I'm riding high because of it. So what have I been up to? Funny you should ask... I got tattooed. It's been a long time coming (somewhere around 15 years) but I finally found something that I would be happy spending the rest of my life with. I had often thought about the usual stuff, things like band names or other pop culture icons that would instantly tell people who I was or maybe even something a little out of the ordinary. At one point I had the idea of combining the lot and having a barcode tattoo which would actually be the barcode of my favourite album. The problem there is that opinions change as does technology, barcodes will become obsolete and I would be left with the equivalent of a tattoo that reads two-and-sixpence!! Inspired by the lovely Ms Hamstera I went to a tattoo pa...

Very short and sweet today but there is another good reason. This will be my last entry until I have moved to the new house and got myself sorted out. Thankfully not very much has happened but I feel like I've accomplished quite a lot. I have organised a moving posse for Tuesday which includes (drumroll) The Colonel!! He is taking time out to come up from Exeter just to see me and to help me move - what a guy. Alex is going to borrow a big van from his Dad and everyone else has offered to muck in for the night. Looks like everything is going to go swimmingly. I will be back on Wednesday (assuming the installation goes through without a hitch) so I'll blog-it-up big then. Cheers to you all and BIG LOVE. Leave me some comments - I'm beginning to feel unloved Today's Word: CULMINATION Today's Mood: Bowl of Cherries... Plate of Oysters... Nuff said

Hmmm... I have to admit that this internet absence thing is becoming weirder by the minute. I haven't dropped it completely like I did a while ago and I have left myself available to some people. It seems that one of those people (who I will refer to as Dave even though it is not her real name) has been "found out". She has/had two blogs - a weebl blog and a personal blog - which I read on a regular basis but they were found by her boss and now she is facing problems because of them. The trouble is that her boss thinks that they over-stepped the mark on a few occasions (especially when she was talking about colleagues and taking "sickies") so they have now been removed. It's a real shame because it has led me to think about what I am writing and how it could effect other people. In all honesty I don't think there is anything that I have written that I would not admit to someone face-to-face, and I'm sure that "Dave's" would say...
