'bout now

Sorry, No brainer punt=Oxymoron, damn you booze!

Well have you ever found a deal that screams "buy me", "yes yes yes" Mine was 2005 ashes tickets. My Business partner had been looking out for Ashes tickets, around January time. The only ones he found were being sold by Surrey CC for the last day at the oval, the end of the series, for a tenner each. We mulled and thought it through, if it was all over we would be refunded our money. If it was a "dead rubber", we could round up various nephews, God children and take them to see Shane Warne, Gilchrist, Mcgrath, et al, a great day out. OR we would get to see the deciding days play. Well we know what happened and I got Very,very,very drunk (and offered ?500.00 each for my 6 tickets). What was yours? P.S In the haze I seem to remember the Hammers beat Villa 4-0 that evening- happy dayz

Just cycled behind a new shiny no. 40, sadly it was being towed!

Keane- Bedshaped, coffin shaped if I had me way. Actually Keane fullstop

Dave Gilmour once bought me a pint, I did reciprocate. I have had a slash next to Ewan Macgregor and saw his knob. Nowt special!

Reminds me of my youngest daughter when on holiday in france. She was already entering her "psycho" two year old stage when she lost her little scrap of cloth that was permanently pressed against her nose whilst thumb sucking. Cue 11 days of misery on a campsite, when a restaurant owner arrived asking of our whereabouts. He'd found this scrap (about 4" sq) and driven 4 miles to return it to us, couldn't and still can't believe it. Angst over! How fluffy is that?

Just to clarify Jade had more than one pap smear, starting in her teens. At one point, she was even treated for precancerous changes of the cervix. And went on to have more follow up smears after that. But when those follow up smears showed a recurrence of abnormal cells, Jade ignored letters that were sent to her advising her to come in for follow up and treatment. Why? Because she was scared.. "They had sent a letter to me ages ago, telling that I needed to go in for an operation, but I had been too scared to do anything about it,? Goody confessed. So Jade put the whole thing out of her mind and pretended it never happened. Until repeated episodes of pain and hemorrhage became symptoms she could no longer ignore. But by then, the tumor had spread beyond the cervix to her uterus. And while a radical hysterectomy and chemotherapy staved the cancer off for awhile, it returned this past month with a vengeance. And now Jane Goody is going to die.

Yep. Sue sue and sue again. After all it's not up to us to look after our own health is it, it's someone else's problem.

Sean Gilder at HH Velodrome, friday. (he of Shameless fame)

On the whole, I think yes it is. However I,m also totally sick of the beeb's self promotion of three programmes that I absolutely 'kin hate. The Apprentice, Strictly Toss and Dr Who. You'd think Russell T Davies was beatified or sumfink. ( what does the "T" stand for, oh wait don't answer that)

I will be doing my level best to help local drinking establishments buck the economic trend.

It's the Good Friday meet tomorrow, excellent fun and an ideal opportunity to suss the place out.

I Can/Can't believe this stuff goes on. A couple of years ago I was living in Kingston (Surrey not Jamaica. One night there was some flash flooding at around 1am which produced a hole in the road behind my flat. This road, which is a cul-de -sac, contained all residents parking bays for our flats. Basically the council got an emergency road repairs team to turn up at 8am, along with a council parking tosser. He suspended all parking with little signs and then got a traffic warden to ticket EVERY car on the road. No warning, no waiting, every ticket was issued within a 5 minute gap, mine said 8.01am. When I came out to get my car at around 12.30 I was a touched miffed to say the least. Whilst standing around scratching my head one of the workmen came over to me and told me exactly what they did. He then said he would happily supply evidence/testimony should it be needed as he couldn't believe the action of the council. I appealed and got an officious letter saying that it was my fault etc. etc. with the phone number of the Director of parking or whatever jobsworth scumbag she was. One phonecall later and with the threat of some local newspaper coverage, I had the ticket rescinded. Utter tools, the lot of 'em.

People who say "Awesome" "can i get" "frikkin" "do the math" People who Go out and party Go dating Stand in the queue at Sainsburys, M&S, Tesco etc. with a ?1.85 sandwich in their hand for 10 mins, looking at the ?1.85 label and arrive at the till, only to be told by the cashier that in fact it IS ?1.85 and then rummage around in their stupid trophy handbag for the said ?1.85 as though its a bl**dy surprise! Pay for a ?1.85 sandwich with a switch/maestro/visa card. That's all.....for now.
