Christmas time, mistletoe and overeating
Another crimbo passes and this years highlights were: The Office Christmas specials, Big 'un after being utterly overwhelmed with presents saying "I'm still a little bit sad and upset that I didn't get everything on my list" (we pointed out that he did, but that didn't change his mind), Little'un being more interested in Big'uns He-man action figures than his own baby toys so much so that he has been taking them everywhere resulting in He-man already being missing in action (possibly in a pub/restaurant in Basildon), and the M-I-L trying once again to feed us all to death (she is Mrs Doyle from Father Ted).
Crimbo eve was spent at my parents (see Thu Aug 14, 08:08:06 AM for more details of my dysfunctional family) which was the normal cold buffet and boredom. My stepmum is in a wheelchair due to MS. This my seem a bit harsh but being in wheelchair and severely crippled does not automatically make her a nice person, she is very demanding and makes my dads already difficult life harder by getting at him all the time and criticising when he has to do everything for her. As we were eating the cold buffet she says "Michael pass me one of those mini-pastie things will you" I passed it over "mmnn these were lovely when they were hot" she says, which makes me think why the fuck are we having it all cold then?.
Same shit, different day. Sometimes I get some different shit on the same day.

For god's sake just get a room
Last night wifey and I went out (a rare occurrence) to the cinema, while the world+dog were watching Lord of the rings we saw Love actually. Great. I was considering nipping out of the show saying I was going for a piss and then going into LOTR, but I think a 3 1/2 hour piss might raise some suspicion from wifey.
Love actually was good for a gentle, amusing, romantic comedy penned by Richard Curtis. Yet again Huge Grunt manages to play exactly the same character only this time were supposed to think he's the prime minister, wifey got seduced by Liam Neeson's lilting accent.
After we had taken our seats, loaded up with nachos and sprite, a couple sat in the next two seats and before the lights even went down they started snogging and they didn't stop for for the whole film, they snogged through the ad's, through the trailers and during the film he was even groping her tits!. We weren't sitting at the back we were actually the furthest forward people on our side. Wifey got the right arse with constantly hearing slurping noises and if the girl had moved her head suddenly wifey would have got his tongue in her ear!.

Big'un was in his school play today, he was a sheppard. Last year at nursery/preschool he was a sheppard, I'm a bit worried about him getting typecast!. But then again if Peter Jackson phoned and said they wanted him for a part as a sheppard in his remake of King Kong or the Hobbit I wouldn't say no.

Humility costs nothing
After winning the rugby world cup the England team were paraded around the West end of London on monday. I didn't go but there was lots of coverage in the media as you would expect. The players have found themselves flung from relative obscurity to national heroes overnight. The thing that struck me was how genuinely excited and honoured they were and the fact that they didn't expect all this interest and enthusiasm from the fans. What a difference from the overpaid prima donna's of english football who behave like thugs, throw tantrums when they get told off and treat the fans and the association with contempt (see post Sat Oct 11, 10:02 am).

Wherethefuckarewe
Last night i got lost on my way to college. I've been going there 2 years so that would seem a bit stupid. Anyway, I was on lates, finishing at 19:00, had to be in Hockley, Essex for 20:00 40+ miles away.
I was a bit late leaving so I decided to take slightly different route, thinking that I was late anyway so what the fuck.
I was "making good progress" down the A13, when some git in a Ford Puma starts sitting right on my rear wheel so I blipped the throttle, wiggled through some traffic and left him behind, 2 minutes later he's back up me chuff. Another blip-wiggle and I'm off again, bugger me 2 minutes later Puma boy is back. So we are approaching Sadlers Farm, which is one those big roundabouts with little satelite roundabouts jobbies, I switch left and as I'm about to change lanes to do a right Puma boy comes up the inside and I get blocked by some dozy bint who can't decide on a lane. The red mist descends, I change to the left lane, get onto the roundabout behind Puma boy to do a right, lean the bike over, a twist of the wrist and I overetake him round the outside and hoon off up the A130 laughing manically. So far so good but I'm now in uncharted territory, riding faster than I would like to stay ahead of Puma boy. As I approach a roundabout, puma boy shoots past me on the inside. I quickly glance at the signpost and see a filter lane to the left which says A130, give it handful and tear off after the Puma. Now the road has no lighting and I'm plunged into darkness on a road I don't know. Common sense prevails and and I let go of Puma boy, many miles later I'm thinking that I should have seen my turn off by now. a few miles more and I'm thinking I've fucked up. A few miles more and I arrive in Chelmsford about 15-20 miles out of my way, Bollocks!.
So I back track all the way to the roundabout with the filter lane was and realise I should have gone straight ahead. So I went wrong because I had a tear up.
When I arrive at college it's only ten past eight, and my trip meter says 86 miles. 86 miles in less than 1hr 10 mins not bad going.

Over at the register they have added BOFH episode 26 and a bit further down is an interesting piece about an mp who thinks that as a solution to spam all e-mail address should include your postcode thus enabling you to be identied easily by the authorities and unfortunately by any weirdo, paedo, sicko or Michael Jackson.
The MP in question asks for feedback so if you feel the need to tell him what a twat he is then here you go wyattd@parliament.uk

Just been browsing the recent updates again and found the following
Widowmania This looks like it could get interesting.

Kill Bill is great. I love the explicit violence of Tarantino's film and the use of Sword play rather than gun play makes it all the more personal.
Although I don't find Uma Thurman particularly attractive (bit too skinny for my tastes) she looks very good in this and she plays the action scenes superbly.
The fights are choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping who also did Crouching tiger Hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey and the Matrix films amongst many others.
Now I love Gore films and Kill Bill delivers bucket loads. Since having Kids I rarely get to see gruesome films at home so this aspect of the film really got me going. My friend Mark who lives in Hong Kong once sent me some uncut horror films banned in the UK, all I actually got was a nice letter from Customs telling me the films had been intercepted and confiscated.
Quentin Tarantino is well known to be the uber film geek who uses little known film to inspire (read rip off) him and HK Flix has guide to the films that "inspired" Kill bill

Fair comment
Yesterday while browsing the recently updated blogs I came across bitter angry people and I left a comment. Today I find that the person running the blog has left a couple of abusive comments below and has typed out half a page of hatred about me.
This blogging lark is fun.

A bit fishy
I took Big'un to see Finding Nemo on Sunday, I was surprised to see that it was a more grown up film than Monsters Inc and it wasn't as sweetly cheesy either. Finding Nemo carries some serious messages aswell about enviromental issues and about people invading other peoples space ( I can only hope that parents would notice and understand these ). Ice Age is still my favourite CGI film though by long stretch.
In keeping with the trend, Finding Nemo has a short CGI film before it called Knick Knack. This was also very good and I particularly liked the bouncy music, which I noticed accompanying an ad for Flash cleaning products on telly last night. These Flash ad's make me laugh as it's always the bloke who does the cleaning and the floor/ kitchen/ bathroom is always filthy which just makes think his wife must be some dirty lazy bitch, but she always gives him a look at the end which suggests that she's going to give him a nosh as a reward.

No near death experiences today (so far, I haven't left work yet!).
Yesterday was my birthday. I was 39. I was hoping to leave work early and wifey and I were planning to drop the boys off at her mums and then go out for food etc but on monday the BCH stated that he was going to a funeral and wouldn't be in. so that scuppered my plans to swap shifts with him. Cap'n Bob was his usual helpful self (see sept 30th / oct 02 ) hence I was as work 'till 19:00 and all we did was have a takeaway curry.

A close shave
I nearly got my knee down and a whole lot more this morning on a diesel spill at Goresbrook/
Dagenham on the A13.
As I came under the new(ish) flyover to do a right to join the A13 proper
there was a roadsweeper truck pulled over on the left, as I approached, it
pulled out from the kerb and into the right hand lane and stopped at the
lights. As I was slowing down the lights changed and the truck pulled away
revealing a large wet patch. Using the following mathematically incorrect
formula, 2 + 2 = 84, roadsweeper truck + wet patch = water, I slowed down a
little and as I just started to turn I woke up and smelt the diesel at
which point the front end went sideways closely followed by the rear end and
my nerves.
I instinctively put my foot down and managed to bounce myself upright again.
I was really, really, really lucky that I never interfaced with the road.
I wouldn't have been hurt particulary as was I only doing 15/20mph and I'm well armoured but the SV would have suffered some trauma.

A Poxy car driver
This morning I was travelling to work at 10:00. I was going through 'Nam, on the bit past Dagenham motors the central reservation is flat and there is a big chunk missing from it, as I blatted along some fucking retard pulls a slow lazy U-turn from the other side. Now there was no other cars on my side, no other cars on his side and no railings or anything to obscure his view and I had my headlights on. Cue much stress, jamming of brakes, snaking and a little bit of sideways action on my part and abso-fuckin'-loutely no reaction whatsoever on his part.
Once I regained my composure I looked at him (I was at the side of his Jag) and in my nicest possible voice shouted "fuckin' look you fuckin' c***" while gesticulating with my fingers towards my eyes. A while ago after 2 scary road rage incidents (not me doing the raging) I said to myself that I wouldn't shout or stick my fingers or give the all powerful wanker sign to anyone anymore, but I felt this muppet was a special case. The next set of lights were at red and as I approached (after calling him a fuckin' c*** twice more) he held right back and stopped a full car length behind me in the other lane, so I shouted out "you c*** to him once for luck and calmly waited for the lights to change.

The second war begins
Well I've finally finished Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix and I have to say it was great!
Looking back over the 700+ pages I thought to myself, compared with the last book not much actually happens but thanks to JK (loved your work with Jamiriquai) Rowling's entertaining writing I wasn't bored once and was eager to keep reading.
With regards to "the death of a much loved character" I honestly never thought it would be that person, even with JK's red herrings galore, I didn't even consider this person.
So, many questions and thoughts for book 6, I definately think Luna Lovegood will play a more important role and perhaps we could find out some history on her, Umbridge I think will return and I wouldn't be surprised if muggles play a more noticeable role.

The register have added BOFH episode 24.
Also I have added a couple of sv650 related links to the bottom of the sidebar.
I probably won't be seeing Finding Nemo now this w/e as I 've got a lot of stuff to do at home, so if Big'un doesn't mention it, I wont and we'll see it next week.
PotW will be changing soon.
I've bollocks'd up my new pda by accidently resetting it and now I can't sync it to the pc at home.
I expect to finish Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix tonight.
I have work to do now.

Film news
So far in recent months I've managed to not see Terminator 3. Oh hang on a minute the fire alarms just gone off!. In the large American investment bank where I am a resident engineer when the fire alarm goes off the message over the Tannoy say's "please remain at your workplace while this fire alarm is being investigated" which to me is translated as "Actung! the building is on fire, keep working 'till your keyboard melts and please save your work before fleeing the building in a panic" this message is repeated, but even though it's exactly the same recording, it always seems to have more urgency each time. Which tranlsates to "The building is on fire keep typing" and "it's getting worse TYPE FASTER!" "SAVE YOUR WORK TO A SECURE NETWORK DRIVE THEN RUN AAARRRGGGHH!!!!"
I digress, so far recently I have managed to not see T3 which although I was convinced was going to be shite I was looking forward to and Pirates of the carribean which looked great fun. Other films I plan to not have time to see are, kill Bill - love Tarantino's work, the trailer looks great and the music sounds fantastic and it's got Samurai sword action. Actually the other films I probably will get to see, these are, Finding Nemo, I'll be taking Big'un to see this and LOTR The Return of the King, I'll see this even if it kills me (if that happens it might get made into a film, Kill Mick :volume 1).
Any way check out movies.com for all the latest film news.
They've just sounded the all clear, so I get to repair copiers for another day HURRAH!

I'm looking forward to some new games to arrive shortly;-
Max payne 2, can't wait for this, Max payne is one of the best games I've ever played, stylised violence and slo-mo bullet time, it's fantatastic diving sideways across a room full of baddies with twin Uzi's blazing. The sequel looks great I hope it delivers.
Half life 2, apparently delayed possibly 'till April because some scumbag stole the source code and released it on the web.
Halo, not sure about this one. Copper say it's the best game he's played on his X-box, PC Gamer gave it 91%, but there seems to be a lot of dissent on the gamer forums. People say, actually it's a bit shit and for a 2 year old console conversion it causes even the latest spec, killer Ninja PC's to grind and slow down.
I need to spend more time playing Splinter cell and try to finish it before I rush out to buy MP2 next week.

This is why I'm not a football fan
In the last couple of weeks English football has been mauled in the press. There is an investigation into an alleged gang rape by premiership footballers where a girl (17 I think) agreed to shag one footballer and then another 7 had a go aswell.
Also in a separate in investigation 2 players are alleged to have raped a girl in a layby.
Now England player Rio Ferdinand and a couple of other players were due to have a drugs test after a training session but Ferdinand decided he wasn't doing the test and left the ground. He has now been suspended.
The rest of the England team got the right arse and stated that they might go on strike. Now let's look at the evidence;-
Premiership footballers in high profile sex allegations
Ferdinand skips the drugs test required by every professional sportsperson
Ferdinand claims he forgot due to moving house, bear in mind that he wasn't moving house and then had to think "oh I'm due for test in an hour" he was at the ground, the testers were at the ground and other players being tested were at the ground.
Ferdinand is photographed out shopping later the same day.
The England team then throw their gold rolex rattles out of their Burberry pram and say "you told Rio off so were not playing anymore"
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?
Consequently the press and the fans turned on them and they had to back down. They behaved like spoilt brats which is exactly what they are, a bunch of overpaid prima donnas who get treated like royalty and at the end of the day it's only the fans who suffer. The fans who pay their inflated salaries only to see the game they love dragged through the mud, it's reputation in tatters, by a bunch of selfish arrogant wankers.

I've not visited the Blogosphere at all in the last week, we've been very busy at work in the exciting world of copier repair and at home I v'e been having the heating sorted and the boiler replaced.
Any way just had a bit of a surf around some of my favourite sites and found that the register has got a new BOFH episode up.
Hopefully I will be able to partake in some more blogging later.

Hopefully I will be able to partake in some more blogging later.

Pissed off II
following on from the previous post, yesterday Cap'n bob wanders in to basecamp, picks up the rucksack of knowledge and his coat says "i'm off" and goes, 1hr and 10 minutes early.
Consequently, I forgot to ask him to swap shifts today so I could go to college, when I got in today I asked if he would stay late to cover my shift so I could get to college and he said no. It appears he has completely forgotten about the weeks holiday I recently moved for him. "if you had asked me yesterday I would have swapped shifts" he said. well fuck me that was helpful.
So hear I am now at work 10 mins after I should have gone home, already missed the start of my CCNA class and with no chance of making the 40 mile trip to college in 50 mins (even on the SV) in time for my network infrastructure class.
@$%&$*@@ !!

Pissed off
We've been pretty busy of late in the site where I work. Today the outsiders, Copper and Fishboy were helping out another team by doing installs so CJ was left to mop up everything else, when I started today at 10:30 there were 3 unassigned 2060's on our call board and Cap'n was drinking tea. When I asked about these jobs Cap'n Bob said "oh, er, I think the BCH is doing them" So the BCH has been in since 07:00, Cap'n Bob has been in since 08:30 it's now 10:30 and he has not thought to find out if the BCH needs a hand.
So, more calls come out, 11:30 Cap'n Bob goes for his full hour lunch (as usual) regardless of outstanding work, me and the BCH keep working. I get call from work control at 14:00 asking if one of us can do a colour machine offsite, I say were all tied up try one of the other sites or call back later, 15:00 I see Cap'n Bob looking at tide tables or some shit on the PC so I mention that we might have to cover this offsite call and fuck me faster than a speeding bullet he logs off and takes a job off our board that he had been ignoring before. At 15:30 the BCH goes home and I go to the offsite call, 17:10 I come and not only has Cap'n Bob gone home and left the site uncovered but he's left me 2 calls, one of which he "skipped over" in the queue to do an easier one.
This is typical of Cap'n Bob and it pisses me off, he never does offsite calls it's always the BCH or me and he always has his 1hr lunch at 11:30 (even when he's on lates and doesn't start 'till 10:30) The BCH should tell him 'cos that's his job as team leader , but he doesn't.
I wonder if you can hire a hitman on ebay

On the way home form work today I had a wee bit of a tear up with a bloke on a yamaha 600 thundercat, there was a bit to much traffic to get really get it on, but it was fun anyway. He got in front of me along royal albert way but there was a few cars making progress a bit tricky and the 2 roundabouts were a bit hairy as I wasn't correctly positioned. I gained on him towards Gallions roundabout and as he went round in the middle lane I ducked across to the outside, gave it a handful and swooped in front of him then caned it up Royal Docks Road, braking sharply for the camera WOOHOO!

Bastards, utter Bastards
I finished work earlier yesterday (17:30) as I had college when I reached the bike the Merc was still there. Will my evil plans never work!.
The other downside to all these cars parking in the bike area is that they all seem to have bloody oil leaks!. Oil on the road surface is to motorbikes what kryptonite is to Superman.

WARNING Prolonged rant approaching
I park my bike in West India Quay carpark in Docklands, the owners of the carpark allow us bikers to park for free and have allocated an area for bikes which is signed and surrounded by red & white tape. Since the congestion charge started the car park (which is outside the CC area) has become a lot busier and consequently there has been an increase in the amount of cars using the bike spaces. I'm not too bothered by this as I treat the free bike parking as a privilege and I just park in any space, but what gets my goat is the arrogant attitude of the car drivers. They have taken to pulling down the "motorcycles only" sign. I know this 'cos I heard a driver argueing with an attendant, the attendant said the driver had been "repeatedly asked not to park there" and then said that the signs keep getting pulled down. A few weeks ago while locking up my bike a young thrusting chinless graduate banking type (these are common in Canary Wharf) parked his BMW in the bike spaces, as he walked past I said "excuse me, did you know that these spaces are meant for bikes?" and I pointed at the signs, "er, um, Why do you park here and not outside?" he replied arrogantly, I recognised his strategy and immediately countered with "because there is no street parking any where in Canary Wharf and because the carpark owners very kindly let us park here" still walking he says "you should park somewhere else" and off he went
So, this morning I arrived just before 0700 to find 10 of the 12 spaces allocated for bikes occupied by cars. I parked right up close to the drivers door of a silver BMW Z3, there was a car parked the other side so the driver will be able to get in and have to climb across the seats ( of a Z3 MMWWHHUUHAHAHA !)
All this is building up to one of my most hated parts of todays society( actually make that two hated parts) lazyiness and the fact that people are always to rushed to consider others.
The reason that these car drivers park in the bike area is because it is nearer the exit, so it is pure laziness. These are the same type of people who routinely park in disabled spaces and would not consider the difficulties faced by people in wheelchairs. I have to say that non-disabled people that park in disabled spaces are selfish scum, this selfish, arrogant, lazy attitude is prevalent today.
If you are someone who parks in disabled spaces then please justify your actions by commenting, I would be interested to know why you think it is acceptable. Before you think about parking in a disabled space try picturing yourself in a wheelchair, due to accident or illness, and see how you'd fucking like it!

--- Breaking News Update Flash Bulletin ---
Ok, a quick outline of the days since returning from the emerald isle.
Tuesday 9th -- The return- Wifey's family very kindly informed us (about 8 times) that the traffic in Dublin was terrible and that we should allow at least 5 hours for the journey from Athenry (Galway), consequently the traffic was no worse than you would expect around any town and we were the first car at Dublin city port. The "family" should try driving into London.
Get off the ferry at Holyhead, ten minutes later Big'un asks "are we nearly home?" he doesn't respond well to my answer of "no, we're 300miles / 5 hours away"
Thursday 11th -- School- Big'uns first day, he looks great in his uniform he's never worn a tie before. Wifey want's to get some exercise by walking him to school each day, so of we go. I promise Big'un that as he is only doing 1/2 day (so wifey says) we'll have a Maccy D's after for lunch. 15 minutes and lots of panting later we arrive at school to see all the other new reception children carrying lunchboxes DOH! I have to run home and throw some food in a bag and run back.
Friday 12th -- all is well - Big'un enjoyed school and was sad to learn he wasn't going on saturday.
Sunday 14th -- The party- Big'un was 5 while we were in Ireland, so he's having a belated shindig now. We invited 11 kids and associated parents. It all went well, all children were returned undamaged to the correct parents and even the Beast was bearable (see tue Aug 12th post) until he went home and then started shouting over the fence.

Now, will ye have a cup of tea?
I have just spent 11 days in beautiful Galway. wifey's family live in Athenry and we stayed in one of her aunties flats.
Ireland is a lovely place and I would recommend it heartily, but it is a bit like living in an episode of Father Ted.
oh go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on,

The lights are out and there's plenty of people home part III
Conspiracy theories abound. Is it a coincidence that exactly a week after the blackout in New York we have one here in London?.
Personally I think "they" needed the extra power to test fly a UFO recovered from Roswell in 1947.
Coincidence? or conspiracy? YOU DECIDE!
There will be a prize* for the best theory submitted by comment.
*This may not be true, indeed it is, in fact, a lie of the blatant order

There was a power cut in London last night, all the tube lines were down, buses jam packed, taxis in short supply, people stranded at work for hours. Not me though because, I have a motorbike WOOHOO! so stuff that being stuck in tunnels with loads of sweaty stinky people I want the freedom of the open road, the freedom to filter in between lines of traffic, the freedom to snap off the wing mirrors of any one who fucks with me, the freedom to seriously piss off drivers stuck in traffic, the freedom to race other riders and ride fast (or not, See Aug 20th) and most of all the freedom to be able to have some control over my journey unlike those poor smucks stuck in tunnels etc.

Whilst searching for some more content for the martial arts pages of my website I came across this information which could come in handy if you find yourself faced by a Ninja! (of course that would never happen as a Ninja would sneak up behind you!
Many years ago on the bus to start my first day in Ford's Dagenham engine plant. I spotted a shop called "loveplay Martial arts" across the A13. "that's a strange name for a martial arts shop" I thought. Looking again on the way home I realised that it didn't say martial arts, but marital aids --- DOH!!

Out of body experience
On the way in this morning I passed a minibus with "Astral Travels, siteseeing tour" written on it. Surely these people wouldn't need a bus? they would just go out of body, I can see it now "if you think to the left you can see the tower of London" and "Ok everybody if you would like to project this way".

Just browsing about the recently published blogs and I came across the Gamer's nook, quite an interesting site for someone like me who not only loves gaming but is trying to get into I.T
check out this version of the I want it all and oompa loompa songs from willy wonka and if you haven't already seen it The mootrix is one of the funniest spoofs I have ever seen.

So not much happening this week, the beast (see tues aug 12th) has gone away for a long w/e so we will be able to enjoy the garden without him pestering us and shouting for big'un all the time.
Been doing lots of updates on my website added some content on the Kung fu page and some more bike pics, please tell me what you think so far and/ or any suggestions.
After my recent run in/ tear up (see wed aug 20th) I had another with some arse in an escort on the way home from college on Thursday night which resulted in me overtaking on the inside and him moving over at the same time deliberatly trying to run me into the curb, this has got to stop I need to calm down a bit before it ends in tears.
Lesson of the day don't buy cheap

It pays to be polite
So there I am riding along a very clear Royal Albert way, which although a duel carriageway and not residential has a 30mph limit, at not 30mph on the SV. I get to the end at Gallions roundabout and stop at the lights when a white car screeches to a halt next to me, I think "what's this c-" whoops
"you better slow down a bit mate" says Pc traffic
" sorry" I reply "I got a bit carried away "
"at least you admitted it" says Pc traffic
I say "sorry" again and add "thanks for the warning" He drives off fast and I ride away considerably slower.
That was monday, so last night there I am just entering royal albert way riding slow and considerate when a geezer on an R1 hoons past, I look in my mirror and see his mate bringing up the rear. Did I let them go and get on with it ? did I fuck, WOOHOO!.
I kept up with the R1 and I don't know what his mate was riding as he didn't get past me ;-)

The mysteries of technology
After spending hours on saturday trying to get the comments thingy to work I eventually gave up. Now when I view my blog page at work the comments option is there WTF?.
So I have deleted the posts I made about enetation :-)
If any one in the world should see this can you leave me a comment just so, 1) I know it works and 2) It'll make me feel big and clever.

No comment
most of these free comments sites have stopped taking new users, but enetation are.
So hopefully a comments option should appear at the bottom of this post.

The lights are out and theres plenty of people home
A great big chunk of America and part of Canada have no power at the moment, they say terrorist activity is not suspected. The BBC (already in court this week over their piss poor reporting) said "experts believe it is some kind of failure at a major power station" NO SHIT!, well done, no really, pat yourselves on the back. I worry about the quality of these "experts".

Not much going on yesterday -- visited my Dad and Stepmum. My Dad's a 70 yr old pisshead and my stepmum's a wheelchair bound demanding bitch. What I really hate, apart from their total lack of interest in anything other than themselves, is the way she puckers up and expects kisses from everyone. Wifey and I are not into all this kissy kissy mwaa mwaa stuff, if you try to escape she puckers up and starts making kiss noises which sounds like someone slapping 2 kippers together!
When Big'un is asked "how about a kiss for nanny" he looks, quite frankly, terrified and I think of the Ketchup ad where the boy won't eat unless he has ketchup and then Granny want's kisses so the Grandad get the ketchup again. so when big'un has been asked for kisses and I know it's me next I think "after you with the ketchup son"

The beast has returned
The beast is 6(66) years old and his lair is next door. Hes been away for 2 weeks. Now hes back, cue constantly shouting over the fence, borrowing big un's stuff and not giving it back, throwing stuff over the fence and trying to blame it on the other side neighbours (the fanny's).
slow day at work yesterday, hoping for the same today so I can work on my homepage and maybe get some studying done.

Yesterday was the hottest day on record in the UK, 101 deg in Gravesend.
I decided to scrap the shelving and we all went swimming which was great. At the leisure centre is a function hall and there was an asian wedding going on, we stood and watched as the groom's entourage entered. It was lovely, there was a group of children leading all dressed in ceremonial robes and carrying candles and the groom was in white with a big sort of turban and carrying a sword. He looked just like Sinbad at the end of a Harryhausen film when Sinbad has got his posh togs on gets the girl.
Wifey's friend from Italy is over so wifey paid her a visit later on. We have reckoned for a while that the italians marriage has been a bit of a sham but she never says anything, leaving us to speculate wildly (which I'm great at) So when wifey returns (at midnight) apparently the italian has opened up and splilt the beans on everything, she hasn't boffed her hubby for 3 yrs and has been giving it to some geezer she teaches english to!

Shit Happens
London Docklands. Not a good start to the day. Riding to work this morning (on a Suzuki Sv650s), the police had the road blocked at traffic lights on Aspen Way where the £6 a day carpark is. I filtered my way to the front and saw a few police cars and a couple of other cars a the side of the road. There were a few coppers milling about and eventually the copper at the front starting to let us through, he directed everyone over to the right and walked along in front of the lead car. As I came past the first parked police car I saw a pair of feet sticking out, a blue car and a pushbike lent against the railings. As I went past (still at the walking pace of the copper at the front) there were 3 police crouched around the figure on the floor and one of them was furiously pounding the chest of the person on the floor. The traffic started to speed up and I felt chilled as I turned off to Canary Wharf to start my day.

There were a few coppers milling about and eventually the copper at the front starting to let us through, he directed everyone over to the right and walked along in front of the lead car. As I came past the first parked police car I saw a pair of feet sticking out, a blue car and a pushbike lent against the railings. As I went past (still at the walking pace of the copper at the front) there were 3 police crouched around the figure on the floor and one of them was furiously pounding the chest of the person on the floor. The traffic started to speed up and I felt chilled as I turned off to Canary Wharf to start my day.
