A Matter For Men

Counting down to Malaysia! Four days to go. All a bit frightening really.
Never flown more than 4 hours!

Ah well survived Footie with no injuries. Scored a beaut of a goal too (but was bobbins overall) We totally slayed them this week (new young lad joined marketing this week, who is quite tidy) so we gave them one of our better players at the end to even it up. They really turned it around then and suddenly looked to be winning the game. It was only after five minutes that I noticed they had six men to our five! Marks out of ten for observation?

Only bad thing is I'm away for me dad's 70th birthday! How mean is that! Will have to bring him back an orangutan baby. (is that legal?) oh OK a plastic model of that big tower in Kuala Lumpur then (which by the way I won't be going up, I get enough of towers where I work).

Love you all

I Never Question Loyalty

Oh look it did work after all!

Tee Hee!

What Was Deluxe Becomes Debris

What is wrong with this half arsed system! I just lost all my typing again after it spent several minutes spinning on 0%. Am I just unlucky?

Anyway I saved a bit:

Ack! I was wrong it was only one and a half hours. I still managed to get nicely numb throughout proceedings by necking 4 bottles of beer. I was so much more friendly by date 20.
Apparently I have been chosen! Even by some that I rejected (how mean do I feel). Sadly in a moment of philanthropic madness I put down a real mental case 10 years my elder cos I thought I could help.

But better news in football! Everton drew with Chelsea! Most excellent result. Beautiful penalty by Beattie, much better than my midweek double effort in 5 a side.

Work tommorrow. Grrr!

Finding A Small Metal Tool

Ack! I was wrong it was only one and a half hours.

However I still managed to get nicely numb throughout proceedings by necking 4 bottles of beer. I was so much more friendly by date 20!

Anyhow, apparently I have been chosen! Even by some that I rejected (how mean do I feel). Sadly in a moment of philanthropic madness I put down a real hardcore mentalist lass who is 10 years older than me 'cos I felt I could help. Is it too much to hope she'll want someone more mature? Will find out next week anyway.

It was a good night overall but I felt I had to continue socialising and only got back to the office at 9.30. By which stage I was completely mullahed. Still managed to win a game of table football though!

I Eat Electric Light

I've been quiet a while so I'd better type something!

I'm doing 'mentor speed dating' tomorrow! Guess what that is.

Well I'm told it means I (as a mentor) have to meet loads of more junior managers and they can pick me to be their mentor. Sounds grim, and imagine if no one picks me! The humiliation.

The bright side? The event takes 3 hours and will be in the pub in the afternoon. I mean Jesus if someone doesn't pick me after 6 pints then I really have a problem.

Right! To bed and dream aboot the undersea world.

Terry Nutkin's Relatives

Back!

Well after a weekend of frivolity in Merseyside I'm back. Popped up on Friday night to visit Mum and Dad and got there just in time for chips and gravy! AH! Chips and blinking gravy, it's heaven I tell you AND further culinary treats to come.

After a night of howling (they were looking after my neice for the night) we rumbled off to Formby (scene of the cunning plot me and my good friend Gray plotted many years ago of walking into the sea up to our necks fully clothed. All was good fun until we realised that despite the sun our clothes wouldn't dry and we had to drive home in our (soggy) pants. We must've looked a right comedy duo. Especially arriving home at our parents).

Hmmmm where was I? Oh yes! I must say I've never seen so many red squirrels. Very lovely they were too (and only 30p for nuts to feed them with) I took young Lauren (neice aged 2 ish) running down the slopes using her reigns to pull her into a short flight every time she fell. Very entertaining.

Also! I had purchased 2 pimbletts pies (one meat and potato and one steak) to nourish myself and they were lovely. Why can't southerners make pies?

So then home and out for a posh meal in't village with mum quaffing a whole bottle of wine and moving onto Stella. She doesn't drink much but loves it when she does. That led to some entertaining debate.

A fly down the M6, M1 etc and I'm home and before you know it it's work again. Although today had the bonus of an evacuation in the middle of the team meeting I was running. Home by 4.30! NB it was just a test.

Right, I suppose I ought to do the shopping......

Bah.

Snow upon snow

Hmmmm the blog appears to be a white page!

Spooky.

Hope this works then. I'm just back from Tuesday football another fine win for my lovable team of roughnecks. Scored a beauty myself even. But then sadly took a pearler of a shot right in the plums. I laughed it off and said that it was fortunate my ninja skills allowed me to pull them inside me, but I was walking like Steptoe's dad for a while and they're still tender now!

NURSE!

Harvest Spiders

You know those skinny arsed spiders? All long legs and a tiny body.

How does one survive in a batroom for months on end??? My good friend Andy had one for ages (why didn't he move it? I don't know) BUT anyway I'm distracting myself, what do they eat?????? You ever seen a fly in their web? I even had one in my car engine!!! and there's one in my shed (and the shed is completely closed to the world, there is less chance of a fly in there than Liverpool fan in Liverpool).

Somebody please explain.
