Even tho I have never actually met DJB, Not that either of us remember anyway, I seem to have a good friendship with the lad, and we seem to have a joke about on the net and on google talk. Yesterday it took him the best part of a day to format and re-install windows onto a laptop 
(Even tho he is one of them geeky techno-types… altho he’s a developer not a designer as he’s told me before ha ha). Anyway… Back in march he did a blog post, talking about how much he wanted a Nintendo Wii, and how great he thought they were LINK. Anyway a good few weeks back he ordered one from the states or something, and it seemed to take an age to update the tracking info. Anyway after about 2 weeks, he found out it was in Amsterdam, and I joked that it was doing touristy things, like visiting the Red Light district, and to make sure he cleans his Wii when it arrives, for want of some disease Anyway thats the last he’s heard of it! The bloke at the other end has promised to refund him, but I still find it amusing, and I think Dave is slowly seeing it that way too
Reading this article on the BBC website LINK and its basically talking about evolution, and how they think in 100,000 years the human race will be split into two. You’ll have the “upper-Class” and the “Gollums” So basically your blood-line will follow either the path of me, the refined gentleman, or the path of Maddsy, the knuckle-dragging heathen 
I was in charge of data-input yesterday at work! Maddsy wanted all these price lists entering up, so I did that, and then he changed them dramatically! So basically he was too bone-idle to enter the data himself, and used me to do so *rollseyes* Gave me something to do tho
Found out John wasnt going to the gym last night, so decided to have a long soak in the bath, accompanied with a few beers, and then watch the Celtic match! The Jekyll and Hyde of the Champions league ha ha ha! Thay have lost only 1 game out of 14 at home in the Champions League, and drawn 3. Yet away from home it’s a different story! Only 1 draw in 15 games now and no clean sheet *shock* Thought they’d done it last night, after getting VERY lucky on a few occassions, including post and bar being struck, but 4 minutes from what would have been a great 0-0…. they concede a goal! Seems Liverpool did equally as well last night ha ha ha! Poor Stevie G! First substituted in the Mersyside Derby cos he was “playing with too much passion” and now losing 2-1 to Besiktas :lol:Â Then after the Celtic match I watched the Dave Channel, and sat laughing at an episode or two of Bottom, and then 2 Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps :lol:Â Gotta love them programs.
Completely forgot that I’d kinda arranged to meet Lizzie down at ED, and apologised when she text me to say she was out, and had my DVD’s only for me to be in the house having had 2 or 3 bottles of beer 
Sorry again mate!
Tomorrow is gonna be another really quiet day tbh! Maddsy will be up in Blackpool cos Jessica is in a national competition or something for her dancing, so hope to have a photo or two sent down of her in her dress, which i’ve been told looks amazing He’s up there on monday too, when my new assistant Zoe starts, so this afternoon we’ve gotta go through and sort out somethings we can get her to do to help ease her into her first day in the office! I have no doubt that she’s dreading it, cos we kinda told her a few stories, and made Geoffrey seem like some sort of Ogre Maybe Lee could back that up after his first impression
Really looking forward to saturday now! First visit to Old Trafford which only really leaves a visit to Celtic on my football grounds to visit, which so far has in the past includes, Villa Park, Anfield, St James’ Park, Leicester (Filbert Street and also Walkers Stadium), Wembley (Old numerous times and New) The Mighty Field Mill, Shitty Ground Nottingham, and Counties ground, Peterborough but to name a few
I’m busy waiting in anticipation to see wether Mr Kirk managed to get through his antics last night without breaking his back again 
He said he was contemplating doing the “Double Flip onto the Barbie Lilo” And knowing him, once he;s had some road kill on the BBQ and some ale, either him or his partner in crime “Stuntman Graham” will have attempted it or died trying! ha ha ha

October 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm

But will see.. i may keep quite until the 31st and see if he refunds anyway.. or is that wrong and immoral?
October 25th, 2007 at 4:17 pm

I survived!!! The backflip turned out to be a breeze, although I’m surprised I didn’t end up on a stretcher! It’s also with great sadness that I report the passing of the Barbie lilo! She wasn’t up to the strain of repeated stunt landings and promptly burst on impact with a particularly devastating flip!
October 25th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
she served you well tho mate!
reading the blog makes me wonder how the hell she managed to last these last few weeks 
The stresses and strain of having you and co landing on her from 5ft in the air hahaha
