AAAHHhhh the pressure!anyway to pass the time here is a couple of tim vine jokes,I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said "Tenpin"I said, "No, it's permanent."I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, "That's AboriginalBatman came up to me and he hit me over the head with a vase and he went T'PAU! I said "Don't you mean KAPOW?" He

Sunday was my beautiful Wife's 40th birthday and in a break from the norm I managed to not fuck it up.After months of teasing her about a surprise "pink princess" birthday party, which she would have hated to the point of divorce, I did actually manage to surprise her.Wifey believed we were going out for meal with our friends G & D but unknown to her I had arranged for some other friends to be at

The UK paper the Daily Mail has an article on women seeking "e-venge" on cheating boyfriends using blogs or reading their e-mails etc. One of the women featured is NML (whom you will see listed in my sidebar) I have been a reader of NML's blog. "Tired of men" since 2005 and this article does not represent what her site has ever been about. I would therefore suspect that the information about the

I'm not a very politically minded person, I really don't take much interest in anything political but if there's one thing in politics I'm sure of it's that Ken Livingstone is a nasty man. He is a horrible arrogant person who seems to think he owns London and thinks he doesn't have to answer to anyone. Some of his ideas are pretty sound, others are badly thought out but overall he is a wrong '

A few weeks ago No1 son went on a bike ride with the cubs and performed a first class face plant, knocked himself out cold and spent a night in hospital. He is fine now, he recovered very quickly and was soon back to his grumpy ungrateful, pokemon obessessed self!*if you're not sure what a face plant is, search on youtube for it and you'll soon get the idea.Last friday Wifey went out with the

Beep Beep " 'scuse me mate...."if someone in a car parked at the side of the road calls for your attention you would be likely to think that they are after directions. You wouldn't expect to be asked for directions by a London Cabbie though.

Righto, I'm back and ready to write a long, interesting, informative and funny post on this blog. But seeing that has never yet happened I don't see why I should start now, so here is the normal drivel.The last week in August the family of Mick all traipsed across the sea to Ireland. We stayed in a lovely cottage with the Wifey's parents which wasn't that bad and worked out quite well.One of

I've reached page 27 and no one has died yet! (sorry if that's a spoiler).Well I have started reading the Deathly Hallows (if you don't know what I'm on about then you must have been living in a cave, yes Bin Laden I'm talking to you!) So far I'm a bit disappointed, not with the book, just that I wish it was twice or ten times the thickness then it would be longer until it's all over, and

This sign now sits where I used to park my bike at work.Canary Wharf have removed virtually all of the free motorcycle parking areas around the Wharf due to their desire to build on every available inch of land.First of all the areas at each end of Ontario Way went so the power station there could be enlarged. They set up a temporary bike parking area under Westferry Circus. This was the

"HELLO, I'M IN THE CAR DOING 120 ON THE M4"Last week the fine for being caught using a handheld mobile phone whilst driving you would be doubled to £60 and you would get three points on your licence. If you get 12 points you are automatically disqualified from driving. Using a mobile when driving has been illegal since 2003 but has stopped just about no one.This is one of those laws that should

I stared at him in disbelief, with a disgusted look on my face......as the dirty, inconsiderate fecker leaned with one hand on the coffee machine and looked at his reflection in the front of it, whilst in his other hand he held his battery powered shaver.

Mrs Slocombe.Wifey is not known for her love of animals, in fact she is pretty much terrified of anything with fur. Lately she has become a tad braver, so much so in fact that we have almost kind of unofficially adopted a stray cat.Over the summer there has been a ginger moggy hanging about our garden. Cats normally prompt a loud "gertcha" from me as I don't like the little parcels they leave

Well, it took longer than I thought.....for Wifey to be called over to see Little'uns teacher. After only three weeks at school, on Friday Wifey was told by Miss Teacher that Little'un had been asked to draw a picture of himself but instead he scribbled all over the cover of his exercise book and then was not allowed out at play time. At his preschool Little'un was the king of the "time outs".

I have been ambling along, going to college making notes and doing chuff all else. 5- long-bloody-years.Today I have failed the microsoft network infrastructure exam for the second time and I am pissed off.My fantastic tent that I bought at the outdoor show at Excel last year is too bloody big for most of the campsites in

No shit sherlock...Two government enquiries into the London bombings last year have concluded that it was "likely" the bombers had "some form of operational training" and "had some contact with al-Qaeda figures".Well done lads, pat yourselves on the back for that stunning insight.For crying out loud anyone with half a brain could have said it was "likely" without having to prepare one report let

Happy Birthday!......to little'un who is 4 today. he is a bit confused about this and thinks he is already 4 because he had a little party on monday so he thinks that must have been his birthday.I swapped shifts today so I could get home early but it might be a short day anyway as Wifey wasn't very well this morning. It is unusual for her to be ill so when Buzz Lightweight gets in at 08:30 I will

Why can't people just admit it when they've made a mistake........ instead of arguing the toss or coming up with some lame excuse.Wednesday night on returning to my trusty steed I found that the entrance / exit to the bike parking area was blocked by a big BMW1150GS (which is a pretty big bike) equipped with a full set of panniers, it couldn't have taken up more room if it tried. At five o clock

Back in Blighty.Oh well, back to the old grindstone. The holiday was fantastic, the kids had a great time and so did the adults.On the return flight Wifey and I were witnesses to a mild air rage incident where a steward was accused of being rude by a man who was shouting at him. The steward had pointed out to the mans wife that she should use the toilets at the rear of the plane and not the ones

On friday she went out with the mums for a meal and on wednesday the bossman at the nusery where she works took out all the staff for a meal to say thank you for all their hard work.One man and seventeen women and guess what they talked about all night? ...... yes, SEX!Poor bloke must have been like a frightened rabbit caught in a car's headlights.

It's life Gym, but not as we know it Buzz Lightweight has got a new obsession, he now treats his body as a temple and has joined the on-site gym .He goes 3 times a week. In order to change himself into Buff Lightweight, Buzz has become a gym bunny.The only problem with this is that he keeps disappearing to the gym, without telling anyone, when he should be working.I can't go into much detail

Wifey and I went to the very nice Ashford International Hotel for a dirty weekend, sorry I meant dinner dance.The format was the same as usual, you pay a small contribution, you get a night in a posh hotel, dinner, drinks, a raffle, breakfast and a headache.If any one should happen to recall my post last year you may remember that I am only

Harvey.Early in 1991 my then girlfriend and I bought a dog. We had decided to get one from Battersea Dogs Home. We didn't, instead we drove to Wales and bought a liver spotted Dalmation.We had been planning it for ages and had already decided on a name, Lung. Yes you read that right the dog was to be called Lung. We could not think of a name beforehand and so as a joke I said "I'll flip through

Wifey was not happy....when I told her I was going on a course (which meant staying away from home) for two weeks, one of which was school half term. In fact, not happy is somewhat of an understatement. She was mighty pissed.The Firm's training centre is in a very nice mansion house near Reading and going on a course usually involves;driving up in a hire car on the Sunday night and arriving just

Serial killer at large on the underground.this morning another brutal murder was committed at Canary Wharf jubilee line station. The victim, believed to be the Who's Substitute, was battered to death with a guitar. The killer is thought to be the same hirsute busker responsible for the recent attrocity carried out on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.While I'm on the subject of the underground, I'm

This is a belated post that I've had as a draft for 2 weeks, but I thought what the heck if I post this it'll save me thinking of anything new!On Sunday 9th I took Big'un and group of his school friends bowling as a belated birthday party. So I had seven 6 and 7 yr old boys, one 5 yr old girl (someone's sister) and one 3 yr old boy (little'un). I had back up from Wifey and two other mums, they

Murder on the Underground........ committed by the busker at Canary Wharf station. He was mullering one of my all time favourite songs, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.There was a different busker on the way also playing another favourite of mine Pink Floyd's wish you were here. Although much better than the other guy I don't think Dave Gilmore will feel threatened.

Breaking news update flash.Buzz came back to work last monday and on the tuesday he went sick again. This week he is supposed to be on a course (the one I volunteered him for that nobody wanted) and as far as I know he has gone. He's due back here on thursday.

This weekend I......failed to do any work on the house.failed to do any of the drastically overdue maintenance on my bike.failed to watch the MotoGP.saw a strange lady's naked arse.On sunday I took Big'un and Little'un swimming. At this particular pool they have what they term a "changing village" what this means is that instead of having a changing rooms, all the cubicles are out in the open at

The following completely unfair and harsh rant has been cancelled.I was going to rant about being held up on the way in this morning by approximately 1million London Taxis on their annual sick kids charity run, but since getting to work and being plied with tea I have calmed down a bit and the rant I was going write now seems a bit harsh.

Sick Puppy IV: The Phantom Buzz.Buzz Lightweight has gone sick again!, but I do have a bit of sympathy for him this time because;He didn't get his wife to phone in for him, he did it himself this timeHe is off sick because he fell off his bike!I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but Buzz is a biker too. He has only been riding a year and only past his full test about 3 months ago.

I swore I would never do this again....but in a fit of Irish/Catholic guilt Wifey has volunteered me to take the Beast from next door to the pictures tomorrow to see Herbie: Fully Loaded because he won't be going to Big'uns birthday bowling party (schoolfriends only) and Big'un went to the Beasts party.

Silly tankers.Ok I'll admit it, I got caught up in the fever induced by yesterdays reports of panic buying, queues all over the land and the powers to be sitting in their ivory towers shouting "let them eat cake".Yes, I panicked I rushed out to my local Tesco petrol and filled up with some bread and sausages. Well how was I to know it was only petrol? I was in a panic for chrissakes.

KetchupHoliday week 1:The plan was to do some work around the house whilst relieving wifey of some of the pressures of looking after 3 children. Due to the Beast next door's house having an extension built my plan of painting the outside of our house had to be scrapped as the building work was creating a lot of dust. So week 1 was spent basically doing nothing. (there is a large rant brewing

"You gotta have faith"I'm currently reading the Da Vinci code by Dan Brown, which is not a bad novel. It is an easy read that moves along at a good pace and is not too demanding and (depending on your beliefs) is based around an interesting theory.The film of the book is currently filming in Lincoln and a nun has set up a vigil to protest against the book/film being filmed at Lincoln cathedral

I said enthusiastically when my mate G suggested taking the kids on a camping weekend.But as the weekend approached I started getting a bit nervous, the prospect of spending a night under canvas (it was nylon actually, but saying "spending a night under nylon" makes it sound like I went to a fetish party) was starting to get a bit scary.
