A moment please…

For our fallen Comrade Craig “Maddsy” Maddox.  He was once the life and soul of the party, but yesterday a tragic incident occured, in which he lost his manly-ness (if he actually had any) in the eyes of me and Karl, and I’m sure Crit and Al would agree with us on monday. (Brett aint got an opinion :lol: )  Not only did Lurch come to football sunday with a bright pink t-shirt on, for which Bagi gave him a bit of stick, so in usual Maddsy style, he started to try and pick on me *rollseyes*  Anyway back to yesterday…  Him and Zoe were sorting our all the stock kits we’ve got downstairs, and numbering them up, and were in the process of making stickers for the boxes.  In choosing a colour, they chose the brightest, foulest colour Pink possible (The sort of pink only girls could possibly like). *bugle pipes up*

There was no Crit or Al yesterday, so I ended up giving Karlos a hand doing random things around the place, including helping sort out UPS, which appears to be Zoe’s new job ha ha! Me and my new drinking club (Wendy and Dee) had a few drinks and a laugh, and it was generally a nice day :D  Reverted to drinking the ChocoMilk from the vending machine rather than the coffee, and its safe to say i’ve had 2 decent nights sleep since then!

Got home wednesday evening, and had a nice bath, laid watching a film and by 9, I decided enough was enough, so headed up to bed, and was totally KO’d till bout half 7 the following morning :?  I must have been tired, cos normally when my phone is under my pillow, or on the bedside table, I hear it vibrating which wakes me, but I didnt hear my phone go once, even tho I had 2 messages :lol:  Only problem with having such a good nights sleep is you sometimes feel more tired than if you had next to no sleep :?

During 3 o’clock break time yesterday Karl asked me if i fancied one of his cuppa-soups, as they were Ainsley Harriot.  Once we’d read the description on the fton of the packet we laughed…

Mmmm so thick.. so warm… so wonderful.

Last night Karl text me to say that the Proper Cornish Pasty shop was open, and he was having a pizza slice from there, which made my mind up! I’m going for a Cornish Pasty at dinner :D Got an SOS call from our lewi saying after football could I give him a lift to Skegby to drop some keys off and pick some money up, then give him a lift home.  This would be tight, baring in mind he was finishing football bout 8.35ish and I was to be at the gym for 9.15, cos it shuts @ 10 :lol:  Managed to get there just gone 20 past, which still gave us half an hour to work on the back, and a few stomach exercises.  Got home and had another protein shake, and chilled out watching the end of Monday Night Raw :lol:

It’s Chad day ;)

Well after a slightly blonde moment yesterday, thinking it was wednesday (maybe it was wishful thinking) today is actually the day the Chad goes to sale :lol: I made the grave error of asking Carol if she had a Chad, and then for the rest of the day she taking the piss basically lol! Typical of the atmosphere round the place when “His Royal Highness” aint here groaning and moaning! Which takes me to another thing… It was even better yesterday morning, as there was just me and Zoe in the office. No constant “Getting the drinks in wiggy” or “bla bla bla bla bla bla bla” coming from the motor mouth. ha ha! The pain-in-the-ass work starts from now tho and thats the bottom line… cos Maddsy said so :?

Got home from work, and raced over to the gym for a “Quick Session” to find it’s the busiest I can ever remember it being :lol: Had a decent session on the shoulders, again moving up a few weights, and again John hurt his wrist! Bout 4th time running, and he keeps going on about buying a support for it, but never does *rollseyes*

Decided to nip round and see my mum and dad for half an hour after the gym, and our Stef was there giving it the big “I AM” ha ha! Silly idiot that he is. Decided to help myself to some spag bol sauce along with a good few slices of bread, and after chatting to my dad for a bit, buggered off home to watch the latest installment of Prison Break… and OH MY GOD!!! I really dont know what is gonna happen next :shock: Once that had done there was time for a quick chat to Maddsy who was being a good little boy and doing his homework, and make a drink in time for Spooks. I love all this spy and espionage drama sort of thing, and once that had finished I messed around on the net for half an hour, before watching next weeks episode on BBC3 :lol: Flicking through the channels, and I saw an advert for a film thats based on a game me and Crit loved playing…. HITMAN! It looks quite good, and I am looking forward to watching it. Finally managed to have a bit of a nights sleep, but i’m feeling it this morning as the previous nights seem to have caught up with me :lol:

Nice block of write-up in the Chad for Rachells for once ;)
Nov 13

Thats what I did yesterday in the gym! Altho it wasn’t 1 level! It seemed to be 2 levels that I stepped it up, and for that I am quite impressed, to say I had next to no sleep sunday night, due to my nap in the afternoon, and I was feeling quite knackered, but nothing like visiting the gym to make you feel better and get the adrenaline pumping haha!  Other than that there appears to be very little to report in my sad and twisted little world!

Work was very quiet yesterday! It’s almost as if you miss the coughing, moaning and spluttering, and just take it as background noise, but once it’s gone you miss it in some twisted way :lol:   Maddsy is still getting the orders so dont really matter.

After a sleepless night sunday night, and a very good workout at the gym, you’d expect to have a very sounds and peacefull sleep! That was not the case! Not helped by the fact I was nodding off bout 12, and had a text off my personal trainer, saying we can fit a quick session in about 6.15 :lol: But still! I was wide awake at 3am watching Seattle Seahawks vs Sanfransisco 49er’s on Channel 5 :?  Dont tell me this is the start of another sleepless period in my life, which then leads me to being ill again! ARRRGGGHHHH!! Lets try a mass cut-down on coffee and things, and see where we go from there :)

Nov 12

Right.. Lets start at the beginning, which I feel is as good a place as any! Altho the weekend just seemed to get better and better (untill sunday afternoon/night anyway).

Friday afternoon at work was so very very quiet, as Geoffrey had gone at dinner to use up one of his half days and that, and I honestly dont think the phone rang at all in the afternoon, apart from about 4:45, when someone wanted a design & quote re-emailing down to him :? Asked Phil if he was gonna go to friday night football, but he said he was having a quiet one at his house with Jay and one or two others, and I was more than welcome to go over and join them, but I was expecting my sister to come over and see me, so told him I’d see him sat evening all married up and that :) Got a phone call from our Lewi asking wether I could lend him £20 so he can pay Sarah Owens maintenance, cos she was going on at him, and promised to give me atleast £50 on the saturday once he’d been paid for the job he was doing. so went over, and ended up giving him a lift over to Sarahs. Thought whilst I was in the area, I may as well go visit my sister as well, as she moans I never go round, and thus saving them the hassel of coming over to see me once Mike had finished work. Once I got hom I ordered myself a Domino’s pizza and chilled for the rest of the night, watching wrestling among other things :lol:

Woke up with great anticipation saturday morning, cos not only was it Phil and Helens wedding day, but it was the day where Newcastle go visit the Stadium of Shite, situated 12 miles south of us in the “Village of the Damned” Sat watching Soccer AM, and as is usually the case when Newcastle are live on telly I started to get a little nervous to say the least! (obv not half as nervous as Phil and Helen would have been feeling at that point :) ) 12:45 came round, and it was time for the kick-off! I was not surprised to see the game go at 100 miles an hour at the start, and there was no real football being played, with players losing possession too easily, and at the end of the first half I’d say that the scum were the better side! As much as it pains me to say! And they went into the lead at the start of the 2nd half! Thats when I started thinking the worst, but we reponded quite well, and James Milner ended up curling a cross/shot into the bottom corner to the relief of Mike Ashley who was sat with the Newcastle fans with his Smith shirt on :lol: Think 1-1 was a fair result, and we seemed more than happy to come away with a point. I always knew the scum would be up for it, and in our faces. We got that bit of luck, when Old boy Chopra hit the bar with a header, that bounced out *phheewww*

3 O’clock came and the stags kicked-off their FA Cup campaign at home to Lewes. Didnt really follow the score, cos altho this is a game the Stags were certain to win, they always seem to fuck-up when it’s least expected :lol: Got a phone call from our Lewi who was heading over my way with some money, and wondered if I could pick him up en-route and give him a lift home. Got home afterwards to see the Stags were 3-0 up and cruising into the 2nd round of the FA Cup! Result. Nipped to the shop to get a few beers to sink whist getting ready for the nights festivities. Vicky had decided that she was gonna drive down, and so offered me a lift to the reception. Remembered that I hadnt got the happy couple a card, i nipped up to asda and got a bit of money out to put in it :D Once ready I sat and chilled waiting for Vicky to come pick me up. Got to Portland Hall and as if by magic we were greeted by Helen and Fee who had nipped outside for a fag, and then phil came out too looking quite dapper may I admit! Helen looked amazing too :D Got inside and a few mates were already there, and they just seemed to keep on coming :lol:

As appears to be the custom at these wedding things.. I bought Phil and Helen a drink, and for some reason not long after Liam decided he was gonna pick on me! This included a blow to the back of the Kidneys, which stung for a few seconds, and he also kicked me, which I went to block, only to bend my finger the wrong way! That hurt like a bugger, and still stings now! Not long after we were alerted to some cows in the car-park, so Me, Olly, Ollie and HSB decided to stroll out and have a look with Olly being “A professional Cow-Herderer” :lol: Ant made a brief appearance, cos he wasn’t feeling too good, and it showed ha ha! there is a video of Phil and Helen dancing HERE

Olly in a suit shocker!!… Olly the Cow Herderer… Troy being.. Well Troy :D
Few photos of the first dance
Phil looking quite dapper… John after hearing the wedding cake is chocolate chip :lol:… Will with drink ha ha
John and Caz - they next?? :lol: … Claire complete with Scooter… Evil Kinevel Novell on scooter
Tibbzy looking a little worse for wear… Sarah and Gem having a dance.. Claire and scooter again
Phil, Helen and Liam… The trio again… Phil, Kate and Caz
Sarah and Helen… A rather drunk Jay joining Phil and Helen… God knows what John was doing :?

I was caught dancing to “Saturday Night” by Wardo and a few others, altho I’m hoping no actual video/photographic evidence appears ha ha ha! Cant remember what time it was, but Johns brother came to give me and John a lift into town, and Caz a lift home. John got us a queue jump into QI and we headed straight to the upstairs bar. John bumped into loads of people he knows, and I wasn’t too surprised to see Ryan walking round in QI as per last week :lol: Ended up dancing after a JD and Coke, and also a Vodka and Coke! Hmmm I only got a JD and coke cos thats what John wanted, so decided to get 2 :? How my mind works when drunk is beyond me ha ha. Ended up taking a few random photos of some of these lasses who happened to be on the dancefloor :lol: Left QI bout 2:45 and started the short walk home.

Few random lasses :lol:

For some reason I didnt seem too tired, so watched NFL on Sky Sports whilst randomly surfing the web :lol: got to sleep about 4, and was really impressed when our Lew rang me at bout 8 in the morning! Turned my phone off, and tried to go back to sleep, but it just was not happening GRRRR!! Feeling rather delicate I got my football stuff together, and made my way over to Maddsys. Luckily it was just round the corner from his house where we were playing, and so the little walk in the rain seemed to help a little. The team we were playing against are 2nd in the table, having gone undefeated in about 10 games, having lost their first game this season, and they also contained a few players from when I used to play for Carnarvon. Had a bit of a chat with Lowey and Banner about how we’re bottom on merit, and threw away our first chance for atleast a point the week before. Got changed, and in the warm-up decided to head the ball! Major mistake! My head was pounding all the way through the minutes silence for Rememberance Sunday :oops:
It was one of them games where everytime we got the ball forward, we scored, or almost scored had Scotties touch been a bit better. We made a team that are meant to play really good football, look more than ordinary!! After the game the lads who we used to play football with were not too impressed, altho our team played immense! :D even I got an assist with a pin-point cross from my left foot ha ha. Nipped into the Rifle for a pint or two with Maddsy and Malc (being our opponents pub :lol: ) and only a stone throw from Maddsys house ha ha! Chatted to Banner and some of their lads were really dejected… It was mint! I can imagine one or two teams sitting up and taking note after our result this weekend. Got home, and had a nice long relaxing bath, cos i must have tweeked my back playing football, and also took a knock on the ankle! I must be a physio’s dream ;) After that I lay on the settee watching the Pompey match, but ended up asleep for most of the game. Decided to go upto bed after that as I was shattered. Managed to get a few hours kip, before Top Gear :lol: Realised it was a bad idea trying to have a nap in the afternoon, as I was wide awake for most of the night :( This week I am mainly gonna be chilling and going the gym! And any night I cant make it, I’m gonna nip over and see Phil and Helen, as I still have Phil’s coat in the back of my car from when we went upto Manchester for the United game lol
Loads more photos of the wedding reception HERE

How ace do these look! Proper wormeries :shock: HA HA
LINK

Found over on Dave Gormans Blog

I would also love an Ant farm for some reason, and found Ollys great when him and Wardo first moved into their gaff :lol:  My main fear is that the Ants and Worms would have a greater IQ than me, and would hatch a plan to escape, and that would lead to them attacking me, and eating me whilst I sleep :shock:

But the main thing I’d have (Once i’d found somewhere to put it) Is a nice fish tank with some random tropical fish in! With the odd shark too like Maddsy used to have, until they ate each other :shock:

Chatting to my mate Jeff last night, and he told me that one of his mates (who’s geekier than him) and he’s managed to put a dvd screen in his toaster of all things :lol:

How random :lol:

Anyway.. random things aside, yesterday at work was like any other! Pretty much the calm before the storm, due to the fact once Maddsy pulls his fat finger out, and gets things sorted, we’ll have a hell of a lot to do! The overtime will come in handy tho! Chatted to Kerry on msn for a bit, and chatted about the forthcoming saturday night at the wedding reception and who was on about going into town afterwards and that. Specially in time for a piss up round Derby with Ant, Lee and I’m sure we’ll get some more folks out. Spoke to our Owen again last night, and as soon as he said hello to me, he said he wanted to speak to grandad :lol: But in the end we had a nice little chat about how he was watching Joey or something on telly, and he was at daddy’s house playing with his cars :D

Messed about on the web for a bit, before heading over to the gym for a quick session on the back, and more random exercises on the gym ball :lol: Stepped it up with the weights again last night, and on one or two machines I’m catching up with the weight john is lifting :lol: So when i step up, he seems to step up ha ha ha! Got home from the gym, feeling nice and alive, had protein shake, and then chatted to a few folks online, before laying on the settee and watching Late Night Raw. It was mint! Stone Cold had come back, and stunnered Santino Marella, then covered him in beer :lol: Was really tired, so missed the last match of the night. Well it’s not just gone dinner, and Geoffrey is off till a week on monday :D

Decided I really need to cut down on the amount of coffee I drink in a day, as I’m contributing that among other things as the reason why I cant get to sleep again, and even if I have a good few hours kip, I still feel awfull :(

Fun at the gym..

Last night I got home from work, and watched the 2 episodes of Prison Break that i’d missed for some reason or another, and an left waiting… WANTING to see the rest! God damn it! Give me them all now :lol:  I wont spoil it for my big Prison Break fan Olly by saying anything on here, cos I dont know if he’ll read this before watching the episodes.  Once I’d finished I text Ol to see if he was in, and then headed over to his house with the 2 episodes so he could watch them with Gemma.  I really cant remember the last time that me and Ol were able to sit down, and just chat.  We used to do it all the time when he worked at our place, chatting about this and that over a Creamichoc ;) (Of which he still owes me one or two)  Was nice to see Gemma too, altho she seemed to be doing most of the housework whilst I was there chatting to Ol :lol:

Ol got a text about a meeting he’d completley forgotten about, and so as I had nothing to do I agve him a lift down to the Rushley, and then headed down to ED for 5 minutes to see if anyone was out.  Had a chat to Vicky, and Lizzie had nipped down, so had a quick chat to her before having to make my excuses and head off to the gym.  But I think we’re going for a drink next week, once all her exams are out the way for a bit, so we can have a proper catch-up which should be nice :)

Got to the gym bout 8.30, and as John wasn’t there did the usual workout on the legs, then weighed myself… 11 stone 7 1/2 :shock: Not sure if i’ve ever weighed that before.  Was shoulder night last night, and I joked to John about taking it up to the next level once again, so on the first machine I started on weight 9.. eased through that one, then tried 10, made it through ok, so used 11 for the last set! Which I managed to get through baring in mind I think each weight is 25lbs or sommat, I was quite impressed, as was John.  He was pacing about mumbling about how the scales were wrong, as he’d gained 4lbs in a few days, and that his hoodie must weight 4lbs :lol:  I tried the scales, and got 11 Stone 4lbs :? In half an hour I’d lost 3 1/2 lbs.  Once we’d done our workout, John was trying some new exercises he’d seen in Mens Fitness magazine, and they may well work for the abs, but he found a better once by chance! He was laid out over one of the gym balls, and he started losing his balance! Then soon realised that with a medicine ball above his head, it worked out quite a fun exercise, which beats plain old sit-ups, as it was working ALL the stomach exercises :D  Safe to say when Caz walked in, and I fell off the ball :oops: She just had that look that said “You idiots” :lol:

Its now been 6 months almost solid at the gym, and I’d like to think I can see the physical benefits, as much as I can feel them in the gym!  Seem to have stepped up quite a bit regarding the weights i’ve been lifting, so it’s all gravy :D

Got home, and had a mess about on facebook, looking for more old people from my past that I seem to have forgotten about / neglected mainly through stopping my recreational activities due to certain things.  Yesterday was texting Ant, and he’s well up for going out round Derby with Lee when he’s back from Bahrain, and I was trying to help piece bits of his memory, as he was wasted saturday night, and dont seem to remember much :lol:

Owens Birthday
icon1 Wiggy | icon2 Daily Blogs | icon4 11 7th, 2007| icon3No Comments »

Didnt really get upto much of note yesterday, so this is gonna be a short one for once! Aside from everyone complaining that it’s like working in the Artic wearing only a t-shirt and shorts :lol: was a quiet enough day. Zoe seems to be picking things up quite quickly and things are moving on. December should be fun to say the least :shock: Got home from work and sat chatting to Mr Kirk, who it appears was playing his Run DMC too loud for the neighbours, who complained only to have the door slammed shut in their face :lol: Quality!
Went over to my mums after work, cos our lewi had taken Owen up there. For some reason he didnt seem his usual bouncey self, think I’ll put that down to being tired on his big day after the excitement of opening presents and that. He now seems to have every make and model of car from most major car manufacturers from 2000 or something :lol: He’s got hundreds of them :shock: Our Heather and Mike came over, and we realised that due to the phone merri-go-round in my family, Mike’s mum now has my sisters old phone and number. With me being in Heathers old phone as Mike, I then worked out that the other morning when the clocks went back, it was actually Mike’s mum trying to get in touch with her son, rather than my sister ringing me :? Very weird. Also my mum had text Heathers old phone or something saying “Thanks for the flowers you and Mike” or something like that, so Mike got a message not long after saying “Where are my flowers” :lol: Next time someone in my family changes their number.. “LET ME KNOW!!!” :lol:

Got home, and watched Celtic. To be honest I thought they were getting battered by a far more technically gifted side, but once again Celtics grit and determination in front of their home fans saw them win 1-0. Unfortunatley the Stags got beat by 2nd placed Hereford, altho I dont think they were disgraced by that result, as Hereford had spanked 5 past Darlington only this weekend! Turned out to be a good night for Liverpool!! Losing 2-1 in Turkey, they won the return game 8-0 :shock: So after Arsenal equalled the Champions League record of winning by 7 clear goals, Liverpool went 1 better. Wonder if Arsenal will try for 9 tonight ha ha ha!

 
Few pics of our Owen :)
