Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

HAHAHA This is the phrase maddsy used to describe Geoffrey at work.

Managed to get a lot of designs & quotes off yesterday, inbetween having a good think about what my mate put in their blog about emotions and love and things. But i reall need to stop thinking lol!

Had a good night last night after football down ED with Fee, Scott and them, then went about 10, as i needed to get one or two things for the house! and then sat and watched Bloodsport with Jean Claude van Damme! Love old kick-boxing style movies.

The house aint going too bad, altho i feel i may be starting to get a bit lonely in there now, the novelty of having my own place at the minute seems to be wearing off a little! Thanks to all the people who have said good luck with it, and expressed an interest in coming round to see me for a brew and that :lol:

For some reason last night i woke up bout 3am and started thinking about the past, and the history i’d shared in the house with bex :( and for some reason i couldnt really get back to sleep once i’d started thinking about it! I think this may stem from me being silly, and kinda expecting her to get in touch or something and ask about how the house is or something, but not had contact since saturday, and that was only a txt or two :( !! Maybe she’s too busy to even give me a second thought, but i seem to have plenty of time on my hands in the house to think about things like that!

Tonight i’m gonna go chill at my mums and watch Newcastle with her, have some tea and a chat! As my dad is still in Tunisia, and claims he may have to go to Valencia not long after he’s back, even tho our stef will be having surgery on his hand

My new 19″ TFT monitor has arrived at work today! Its giving me a headache tho, cos on my old monitor everything was so dark, and now everything looks shiney and new :lol:!! Must give it a day or two with low brightness settings, then slowly get brighter hehe

Ok so maddsys mobile has just rung, and he was there saying “hello” repeatedly, eventually they must have picked the receiver up their end, and asked to speak to Craig Maddox… to which maddsys reply was “Sorry he’s dead” then he hung up :lol: Thats one way to stop getting them annoying calls i suppose

Having just read fee’s blog, it reminded me that she got me a really nice present yesterday! I wasnt even gonna bother getting the christmas tree down this year, cos tbh i am not sure how long i wanna spend in the house over christmas! I’d prefer to be out and about with family and friends if im brutally honest, then have a fresh start in the new year.  Thanks for the present fee :D  Will have to get the old tree down then wont I :lol:  I’ll try and get a pic of it tonight and put it in tomorrows blog lol

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

Well last night after work i went over to my mums for some tea, and a few brews and that.

Got watching Sky Sports 1 whilst my mum was looking on the internet for a new job for my bro who is being made redundant! They’re keeping some of his mates on because they have cars and can drive to new sites, but cos our lewi cant drive, he’s one of them feeling the pinch :( So if anyone wants any decorating doing…. I’m sure my bro can do it cheapish :lol:

So i was sat watching a round of of Asian Football, and Spanish football whilst chatting to my mum, and she was telling me of things owen seems to have been getting up to! including running round the house shouting “mikey” and wondering why i aint appearing from my room at my mums to chase him round the house or anything :) Bless him! He also still thinks he’s an actual monkey i think :? Or atleast he did last time i saw him hahaha! Seems like another kid that wiggy is sending down thew wrong path! Wonder how crazy i can send Kieran :P

So i stayed at my mums and watched the Watford vs Sheff United game, well up to half time, then stef came back, and started bigging himself up, saying he’s gonna smack me on the nose bla bla bla…. 1 word for you stef…. “CHAV”

Got home and watched Prison Break… yeat another awesome episode with a twist right at the end… why does it have to go for a break over christmas :( *wounded* Then i put channel 4 on, and there was a documentary on about how there have so far been about 638 attempts on Fidel Castro’s life :shock: and it was highlighting the many different methods used! And after every attempt it appeared Fidel knew that it was the CIA and things behind them. So i’m gonna try and research some stuff on Castro and Cuba once i get the internet at home hehe

Also last night got a picture message from Bruton, showing the 2 mice he’d caught using the normal method of a mouse trap lol! Cheers pal :)

Well found out that my bro is going in for his operation on his hand next tuesday!! So he’s gonna be milking it no doubt! And even moretime off school! I think he’s gonna have to repeat his final year, IF he’s serious about doing well, but at the moment he dont seem very bothered at all! stupid CHAV dropout

Reading a mates blog today, and they were on about loving the right people, and how it nearly always seems to end in pain and suffereing to one or both parties. like this quote “Why do we have such a finite capacity for pleasure but an infinite one for pain?”

And it got me thinking…. but it started to worry me all this thinking about emotions and things… so i quickly turned my thought to football… which i’ve been told is “the work of the devil” and that “football is gash” :roll: Some people have no idea hehe

This afternoon after giving it some thought i decided to update an old blog of mine.  Added quite a bit in and after doing that i feel q bit better about certain things and shit.  Also this afternoon i’ve had 2 people talking to me on the phone about prison break :lol: I’m gonna nip to asda before i go to football tonight, and get a get well card for alistair whom was still in hospital on sunday! And then the football lads will sign it and hopefully give it to some of the Yates’s lads before we go

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

All seems to be going well at the moment in the house!

I seem to be keeping myself busy on the computer, and watching films and things to help pass the time, so im not sat dwelling on the past and things like that , and thinking how empty the house feels without someone else in there. TO be honest i aint even thought about it when i go to bed, as i’ve been that tired, i’ve just gone straight to sleep.

Kept myself quite busy at work yesterday, and managed to blag geoffrey into going to the chippy for me!

Last night i got home, and went on Football Manager for a bit, but soon got bored, and so sat and watched Fifth Gear on Channel 5 with Tim Lovejoy, he’s ace! He went Banger Racing with Alan Davies and lost hehe. They had the Porsche GT3 on, and it sounds awesome.

After that i watched Ali G In Da House hehehe! Then i just chilled for half an hour with a coffee and then headed to bed

Today i’ve been quite busy at work sorting designs & quotes out for robert and that.  Had a bit of a chat with fee this afternoon bout one or two things that have been annoying us as of late, including something i said to Punot Ollie in a pm on maxxd earlier today.

Tonight i’m gonna go to my mums after work, and go have my tea there, and have a few brews and watch telly at my mums and that, then come home and watch the next installment of Prison Break, which appears to be the last one till Jan 22nd :shock: So with that, i now have a lot of time to watch all of the prison break and lost again, before the series kicks off again lol, that way i can remember whats happening lol

So friday night, instead of packing, i chilled with some beers, and watched Bad Boys 2, inbetween setting up the database fro Football Manager 07, which was taking up all the resources on my computer grrr. Once i’d sorted the databse, i was hooked on the game lol! Had a chat to Ollie and Jackman, who was talking me through the databse, and what its ideal to put certain settings on!

Saturday morning came, and i started to break down my bed and things and get ready to move.  I had managed to enlist the help of Punto Ollie for the annoying things like the bed, and the telly and the chest of draws, and everything else i managed to sort on my own! Once all that was in i headed over to Arnold to pick the old bed up, and delivered it to my brothers, and then spent saturday afternoon at my mums watching Soccer Saturday and generally laughing at Owen who was making monkey noises most of the time! mainly due to the fact i keep saying to him “you’re a little monkey” hehehe. Left for my house about 5, and managed to get the bed set up and everything! Maddsy came round for an hour of two with Stevie and Kieran, and they brought a few beers round, which was nice! First night beer and all that!

Got up early sunday morning, as we were playing football just outside of Tuxford, and had to be at the Rose and Crown in Sutton for 9! Got to maddsys and the fool had only just woken up :roll: so he got me to make stevie a coffee, and then when she came to drink it we found out… the milk had gone off… :oops:

Got to the ground in plenty of time this week :lol: Altho we still went miles out of our way thanks to Stoney’s Sat Nav. The bus seats 14 people, but we managed to get 17 on, and some weree sat on the kit bag lol! Half way there Chris the manager decided he could smell something, looked at the bottom of his bag, and there was a load of dog shit! So the bus started to wreak after a bit *vomit* Got to the ground, and the pitch didnt look too bad, but upon closer inspection, it was awfull! Really boggy and shit! The whole team played well, and won 2-0! Think thats the last 16 of both cups now, and going full steam ahead in the league. Big game next week! Westhill Nomads… the team that reckon they’re gonna “slaughter” us :roll: yeah right ok dudes!

After football headed back in rob’s dads Tranny van, and picked my car up from the pub. Went over to my mums to have my dinner, and watch Newcastle vs Portsmouth, and then Man Utd vs Chelsea. Was txting joe for a bit finding out how they went on, and they won 19-0, with his mate James getting 6 haha! Also he was keeping me up-to-date on the Celtic score! Cheers Joe.

After that went to LSOM to see some of the guys and girls. Chatted to fee for a bit, saw phil and had a chat with him too! Later in the night after phil and helen had gone, i got a phone call from helen, saying “are you busy… we’ve broken down in the BMW, and phil needs a lift to his mums to get the Diesel” DOH!! So went and gave him a hand. Also chatted to john and caz for a bit about Prison Break and Lost and that lol. Got home bout 9 and sat on FM 07 whilst watching Ali!

2nd night in the house wasn’t too bad! Still kept waking up at random times, but think it’s just getting used to the surroundings again!!!

Last day today..
icon1 Wiggy | icon2 Daily Blogs | icon4 11 24th, 2006| icon3No Comments »

Of staying at my mum and dads! They’ve been great again, cos i’ve hardly paid anything, compared to what i’ve used :oops: I’ve had the internet on every night for a few hours, telly on most of the time, a light on too, eat all the food, and drunk numerous cups of coffee! Their shopping bill should go down in the coming weeks then :lol:

Helped my dad move my new telly out of the car last night, so my mum and dad could go shopping, and my mum has bought me some essentials, like tea bags, and coffee and bleach and that.. Cheers mum.

Had a chat with Ollie last night on msn and that cheered me up a bit :) Also chatting to fee and jackman before they both went out helped too! Maddsy was being his normal self, but i can handle that big puff!

End of an era today! After how ever many years of terrorising the folks at Mini-Marquees, Trevor is retiring! He’s known my uncle for years, as they used to be trainees down the pit together and shit, and have both got so many stories on each other, even tho they are the same one, told through different eyes, as you can imagine lol

Newcastle won last night, which cheered me up too! And Taylor got his first goal in newcastle colours, even tho he’s got about 4 for the england U21’s :lol: Luque got his chance, and didnt do too bad, got an assist from the corner for Taylors goal. Altho i think he kept trying to do too much, and kept slipping over! Titty Scramble didnt play too bad either, altho whenever the ball comes near him…. i hide my head in my hands, expecting a cheer from the opposition :lol:

*snap*

And i dont mean the card game either :shock:

Last night we played Yates’s FC at 6-a-side! They aint a bad side, with one or two good players. They are currently in division 8 alongside my bros team, and for some reason keep playing each other in friendlies.

Cant remember much how the game went, but first half the ball was squared across goal, and it took Lee out the game, but a crucial last ditch sliding tackle by wiggy stopped an almost certain goal *pat on back for that* Lee had another outstanding game, and wasn’t at fault for the 2 goals they scored iirc! Also the bar came to our rescue on a few times!

Into the last 5 minutes, and this big lad is running down the wing with big john, who kinda slides in, wins the ball then *snap*, the sound is still clear in my head this morning, the bloke was instantly screaming, and big john got up to ask him if he was ok, saw his leg dangling, and i thought he was gonna pass out. This is when Punto Ollie came into his own with his first aid training. I ran to get the phone for an ambulance, but after 2 minutes to them, I noticed one of his team mates was making the same call, so told the amublance people that, and hung up!

Took bout half an hour after the phone call for the ambulance to turn up. Hope you’re ok mate, and quickly back playing football :)

After that we went down to ED. The ambulance past us at the Forst Town Welfare, and me and ollie headed down through ravo past the pub. When we got to the town mill, we noticed that the amublance’s sat nav must be fucked! Cos it had past us bout 5 minutes earlier, but we’d still managed to beat it to the Town Mill :? Didnt stay long down ED cos i wasn;t in the mood tbh! Got home, and had a chat with fee on the phone, and basically sat and chilled, watching Snake Eyes on Channel 5 and reading the few posts on maxxd that had been posted whilst i had been out

Tonight i have Geoff the finance man coming round tonight, so i can sign the forms for my mortgage! This will just about be the one final thing needed to start afresh! It’s gonna be wierd in the house for a few nights, but i’m sure with the help of my mates i’ll be fine :D The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one :)

Just been round to my house in forest town, to check on the mail, and do some simple things like turn the heaters back on, so i have a nice warm house greeting me on saturday hehehe Luckily my new online banking code had come, so i can get back on top of my money :)

I have got home from work, and am now for some reason feeling really really down, and upset. I have no real idea why either! Just feel the need to lock myself away and cry :( Maybe its cos me signing the papers tonight will be the end of an era and the last remaining thing connecting me and bex, the fact i’;m feeling really really tired, and i cant seem to get the bloke breaking his leg out of my head, but as i’m writing this i’m feeling very emotional and upset now.

Well… What a game hehehe! Sorry Man Utd fans out there, but HAHAHA! I told you all Nakamura would score first, and celtic would win, but you all laughed at me! Well i know Maddsy and Robert did! Wish i’d put 1-0 but i didnt think it’d be that sort of game :lol:

I really wish i had been able to go to parkhead last night! Seemed like such an awesome atmosphere! One that will prob never be repeated till Man Utd return up there in the Champions League lol. Made sure i was settled in front of the telly with a nice coffee in front of me, and got ready for the game! To be fair altho Man Utd dominated from the go, they didnt create very many chances at all! I can only remember a few shots, and Saha is a cocky fucker i’ll give him that! “play to the whilst you idiot :lol: ” For somre reason when Naka stepped up for that free kick, i hoped and prayed that it went in, but thought it was too far out to beat a goalkeeper like Van der Saar…. Oh how i was wrong! He managed to get it up, over the wall, between 2 man utd players heads, and into the top corner! Cue crazy celebrations in the living room thats all i’m saying!! :lol: When the ref gave the penalty the mood quickly changed, and became nervous again… Massive game… Saha put his penalty to Boruc’s right first game, and he almost saved it… AND HE DOES IT AGAIN AND HE SAVES IT THIS TIME!! Cue more jumping around, and txts flying around to Man Utd fans hehehe, Even Fee was watching the game… and as she keeps telling me… she “dont do football” HAHA

Got home, and sat on the net for a bit, watched the highlights of the Arsenal game, and all the rest of the goals in the Champions League, but i was in such a good mood, i couldn’t seem to get to sleep again :| All these emotions going round in my head lol

Looking forward to football tonight as normal! Chance to see the lads and everything, so should be good.

Will stick some more down later, once i’ve abused Maddsy and Ted for being Man Utd fans, and also Robert for saying Celtic are the equivelant of a Championship side, who would not for the love of god beat Man Utd last night :lol: FOOL! He also said Man Utd would be used to playing in front of big crowds after playing at Old Trafford…. dont get atmospheres like that there dude! 10,000 celtic fans outsang the Old Trafford faithful in the first game ;)

Grrr why didnt i sort NTL out sooner! I sorted it out online, and they said first available installation date was Tuesday after i’ve moved in, but now i’ll be without internet at home till friday :( Unless i go to my mums, as my dad will be away for the week hehehe. But its slightly better cos the TV my mum and dad are getting me this week, has built in freeview! So i will still be able to watch telly i suppose! All i have to do is try and get a wire from the telly downstairs to the telly in my bedroom, so i can watch what ever is on downstairs! Maddsy told me about some infra red stuff, that means when i go upstairs, i can take the remote, and switch the ntl box over from my bedroom! What a lazy bastard i could be :lol:

LINK TO NAKAMURA GOAL

Been talking to jackman this afternoon, and in the maxxd football thread he was on about Liverpool owning their own European cup having won it 5 times, so i got him on msn, and said celtic were the first team to win it, and i wasn’t sure but i thought all the players in that 1967 side were from within 25 miles of Parkhead! So did a bit of searching and came up with this LINK Was quite interesting to read tbh! I never knew Kilmarnock were in the Semi finals of the UEFA Cup and Rangers lost to Bayern Munich in the Final of the Cup Winners Cup! Was a pretty good time for scottish football then! :shock:

Phoned Geoff earlier, as i had 2 missed calls of him last night whilst i was driving over to bex’s house to take her the telly, and some stuff to sign. Was a nice night. He is coming over tomorrow night so i can sign things, and start the mortgage thing rolling :) Things are finally in motion. Like i said to fee, it’s gonna be really wierd for the first few nights staying there with the “she;s no longer here” type feeling, but i’m sure with the help of my friends i will be able to settle in easy enough! So long as i’m well stocked with coffee, milk, biscuits and most importantly tea bags for fee, the i’m sure i’ll be fine!

My mood at the moment is one of slight intrigue! my hairdresser…. (Hello Claire if you’re reading this! Dont want you to get in trouble again hehe) has been trying to set me up with this lass called hayley, and has some how “sorted it” so my next hair cut just so happens to fall when hayley’s will be finishing! Claire has told me all these things, and now it’s got me thinking lol! Which is a danger in its self! And for some reason i’m looking forward to meeting this lass :?

I really cant wait for the game of football tonight! Celtic vs Man Utd! It’s gonna be a cracker! Or i hope it will be! Dont think there is an atmosphere like it when almost 60,000 celtic supporters are holding their scarves up in the air, singing “you’ll never walk alone” (They do it alot better than the Kopite scum :lol: ) Specially on a European night! I’d love to go to a champions league game, seems like such an amazing night! Specially when celtic win, which i hope they do tonight ;)

Today Maddsy and Adam will be out the office in Macclesfield… YAY!! I have a quiet day, and if “Maddsy Work Mobile” or “Maddsy Mob” appears on my mobile phone it may well get cancelled.. me not being allowed to have my phone on and all that! Strict company rules and shit :lol:

So i’m in a pretty good and excitable mood! All stems from tonights game, and also last night. This morning i’m gonna sit down and work out how much money i’m gonn have to myself! Baring in mind my new mortgage will be £70 less than whats being paid on the loan & mortgage, and also i’m borrowing enough to clear my credit cards as well, so thats another £60 a month i’m saving :D

Good Old Ollie was provising me with some more new tracks last night! That lads musical taste is a bit like mine… will listen to almost anything! Specially going on what songs he got me to download last night :lol:

Ok… it’s been like Krypton Factor this morning! How many people does it take to set 2 tables up? answer 5

Not exactly the brains of britain involved!! As anything involving maddsy and karl would tbh! So far the table has been moved bout 5 times :? Well i now have me bet on for the Celtic game tonight! 3-2 Celtic win with Nakamura to score first! Bet i get atleast 100-1 on that :lol: Cant beat putting random bets on games :D

Got an email off nic yesterday saying can i ring her bout 12:15 so we can have a chat, but i didnt get the email till i got home! What a dumbass!! So i made sure i had google talk open this morning, as i sent her a txt apologising and telling her why i didnt phone her! So she sent me a message saying i can ring her at 12:30, so i did, and we had a great chat about things!

We both had a bit of a moan as well, but it was really nice to speak to her again! Her car is still broken! only running on 3 cylinders or something, so she aint been using it! Also she’s been getting really bad migraines, and so cant really drive at night, as the car lights seem to trigger them off! :( Hope to see her soon! She joked about me needing any help unpacking, soi said yeah i’ll go pick her up :D
