Welcome

What a weekend it’s been to be honest! Friday at work was very quiet indeed, as Dory, Cadden and Mark were off using their holidays, and Lee had gone down to Modified Nationals to drop off the Maxxd Marquees and flags and things, and show one or two of the intelligent members how to put up the flags There was still work to be done, and we managed to get it all done and out of the way, as just cos no-one was at work didnt mean all play and no work Lee got back to work bout 5ish, after being sat behind “Almost every twating caravan in the country” coming back up the A1 HAHAHA!

So it was pretty much a normal Thursday at work, apart from one or two people getting really excited about Mark receiving his banner (I think Zoe was far more excited than Maddsy ) anyway just to make things a little interesting i MAY have saved the UPS tracking page onto my computer, and edited it slightly! It was stuck in Nice having some government checks, which were outside UPS’s control, so I decided to update the tracking list with… “PKG RETURNED TO SENDER - GOV’T TERRORIST WARNING” Maddsy did seem to see the funny side of it tho. Altho I had Mark text me this morning, saying “Banner not arrived, sort it” As if I had some sort of influence in the French Government! “Ermm S’cuse me Monsieur Fillon, would you mind letting this parcel we’re sending to the director in Monte Carlo to be void of any goverment checks, cos he’s getting a little impatient and wants it for the race on Sunday” HAHA! Fool!! Should be there today anyway.

Last night went over to the gym bout 6ish and had a good session on the shoulders, and me and John were in admittance, that the arms and shoulders are looking good in proportion, we just need to get the chest pumped up a little more, and I’ll be looking great Nipped to my mums on the way back, and nicked some food (good job she’d been shopping the day before) and then made my way back home to hopefully watch Celtic clinch their 3rd league title on the bounce! (only 2 other managers had managed that in their history) Was a great game, and they got the right result, with Rangers blowing what should have been a massive enough lead during March and April, but Celtic clawed them back with 7 straight wins, and dedicated their latest league triumph to Tommy Burns, who was a Celtic legend, who also had a spell in the Toon dug-out under Kenny Dalgleish. Chatted to Kirsty and Lucy on msn during the game, and then found myself in bed.

Bit of a bumper weekend sorted for this bank holiday weekend Going to Lucy’s tonight for her “Finished Uni” party, Saturday morning I’ve gotta take our Stef over to Derby for his Passport interview, and then saturday afternoon I’m off to help Craig “Alan Titchmarsh” Maddox sort his garden or what ever the hell he wants me to do, then off to Si Overtons for a BBQ and catch up.  Sunday I’m coming into work for a few hours to get loads of artwork done with Crit, and then down Mansfield with John and Orwin and who ever else is out! Then Monday I’m just chilling the hell out

Look out for this banner during the Grand Prix hanging from an appartment balcony

The present Maddsy sent Mark!!!

On the prowl anywhere? If so give him 20p for a cup of coffee, and then call Rampton Secure Hospital, and have them come pick him up, as he’s been ducking and diving capture for a few years now :lol:  Treat with extreme caution, as this person is highly emotional!!

So the world wakes up this morning to find 2 million more Man Utd fans in the UK than yesterday morning Not saying ALL Man Utd fans are glory supporters, but after last night you can guaran-damn-tee (Vince McMahon style) that a few million people will have changed their allegiance to the new Champions League winners! Also I’m now fed up of reading that John Terry is “Mr Chelsea” He’s MR FUCKING TERRY!!! If he wants to be known as Mr Chelsea tell him to change his fucking name!!!!! Also how special was it seeing the smug arrogant portugese cunt miss that penalty! Almost as sweet as seeing Drogba get sent off,AND “Mr Chelsea” slip and miss a penalty all in the same game HAHAHA

So anyway… Tuesday I was a bit achey from the gym, as we’ve started doing a bit more free weight, which seems to hurt more! From what I can remember work was quite fun! Me and Maddsy spent the afternoon designing MarqueeBase V2.0 and that seemed to wind the Voyeur one up something rotten “There are 2 info packs in the tray for your info” Yeah thanks for that! It takes all of 30 seconds to do, and it’s only 4 o’clock son! Went for a session on the back tuesday night in the gym, and it hurt!! Back always does more than shoulders or chest, altho not as bad as the one time we trained just arms, and I couldnt even turn the bloody steering wheel afterwards HAHA!

Yesterday Mark phoned Maddsy from his base in Monte Carlo ahead of the Monaco Grand-Prix, and explained that he wanted something sending via UPS to his hotel, which it appears is bang on the track, and so Maddsy created him a special little gift, that will prob end in Maddsy getting his P45! WE CAN BUT PRAY The lad looked like a fucking tool when he got to work yesterday! Dressed in Dylans Man Utd cap, his free cheap and nasty scarf that would fall to bits in the wash, Jessica’s Man Utd school bag and his Man Utd shirt! For some reason his scarf kept ermmm moving :lol:  Was quite funny cos the voyeur one decided he was gonna spend most of theday watching me and zoe go about our work Does get quite freaky after a while tho

Nipped to Macdonalds on the way to Maddsys to watch the football, and Lee and Vicky followed not long after. Was so funny watching Maddsy getting more and more stressed during the game, and come the final whistle he was a nervous wreck for penalties That was the only reason I wanted Chelsea to do it! To see the look on Maddsys face! Typically Mark had his phone turned off, and so did Little Pigeon Legs

Aint it great when you get in touch with people who you’ve lost contact with for a few years. Facebook is mainly responsible for this!! Having gotten in touch with so many old friends from school a good 10 years or more since I last spoke with them, and I have become quite good friends with one or two of them again. More later

So it’s been a funny old few days at work! Mainly Maddsy almost losing his temper at an ACER employee, who’s telephone conversations are probably recorded for training purposes, so I need to get my hands on a copy!! “Don’t talk to me like I’m a retard! I know the difference between powering up, and having no power” Quality son!!

Went to the gym last night, even tho John has not been well, due to Tonsilitus or something, but he managed to battle through it! Started to increase what we’re lifting again ready for our respective holidays (of which I’m sure he’ll have about 8 again this year HAHA) Laid out on the bench, getting with a set of 55’s in the air, and Caz decides she’s gonna try and walk past me mid exercise! Turning round and seeing the back of her waltzing past me was enough to almost knock the weights out of my hand! Everyone seemed to find the fact Caz almost killed me quite funny!! “Here Lies Wiggy.. Killed by a set of 55’s squashing his head thanks to Carolyn” HAHA!! Me and John got chatting, and he said he’s surprised I aint had a new tattoo yet, as it’s close season so no fear of fucking it up by playing football or anything, which got me thinking that IF and WHEN I get my back-pay sorted I’m gonna see how much it’ll cost to get a design I want them go for it. Wanting something similar to what I’ve got on my right arm, but with shading, and have it so I can extend it onto my chest or back if I wanted to.

Before I exited the car park I gave John something to give to Caz to pass onto Bex. Now it’s been almost 2 years, so due to the fact she’s made it perfectly clear she cant even bring herself to speak to me, the next letter is going straight back with “NO LONGER AT THIS ADDRESS.. NO FORWARDING ADDRESS GIVEN” written on the front of it! She’s had 2 bloody years to change the address!!

Got home, and found a friends request on facebook from an old friend. Have not Spoken to Si-evo for god knows how long now, and it was his wife Kirsty, who’d found me on Miss Bedford’s wall Me and Kirsty had a right good natter and catch-up, and Simon has since accepted my request, so gonna have a catch up with him when I can. Sat watching Judgement Day whilst chatting to Kirsty and before we knew it, the clock was approaching the hour of 11 Completely lost track of the time Like they say… It’s good to talk

During my checking up on the Science America website I came across this article! Seems all them years of playing Tetris aint done me any good tho

Here’s a puzzle worthy of an IQ test: Why have scores on IQ tests risen by about 30 points since these assessments became widespread? People have lots of theories about the so-called Flynn Effect, but Julian Lyles Bass-Krueger, 14, of Clinton, NY, attributes it to the “increased cognitive complexity of our environment.” A key culprit? Tetris.

Yes, this addictive game that has you rotating shapes to fit into a grid until you go mad may actually be making you smarter. Past studies have found that when people play Tetris initially, they use more glucose, suggesting that their brains are working hard. Over time, though, glucose usage returns to normal. In other words, the brain has to work less hard the more it practices. It becomes primed to solve related problems quickly.

So friday came and went at work, and it was tiring as per usual, listening to certain people whining all the time and that! Managed to get through the day, altho there are no flapjacks left in the machine!!! So god knows how I’ll be coping if the woman dont come and sort the machine out this morning!! A man needs his flapjacks to survive

Nipped home and got changed ready for football. Unfortunately it had decided to rain, even tho Wendy had promised me that the rain would miss us. Was a good turn out, and once again Smithy, Teddy and Tom seemed to be in their element. Do enjoy playing football on friday nights again, altho it’s not on next week due to Modified Nationals Booooooo!!!

Got a knock on the door bout an hour after getting in from football, and wondered why the hell welly would be knocking at my door Then it became known… I’d left my lights on! For some reason the annoying beep to alert me to the fact decided not to work! Battery = FLAT!!! Grrrrrrr

Got up earlier then I wanted saturday and walked it to work. Was quite nice to be honest. Very little breeze or anything, but still annoying non the less when you’ve got a perfectly good car sat at home (well apart from the battery that is ) Good old Carol sorted me out with a Sausage and Eggcob which went down wonderfully with a coffee from the vending machine, and then I managed to rattle off a load of artwork. didnt stay as long as normal cos Karl had offered me a lift home to try and sort my battery out! Mark nipped in and Carol kicked off at him for a private joke that seems to be long running between management so we’ll leave them to it!

Karl gave me a lift home, and we tried to sort my battery out using his battery thing that works from the fag lighter, but after bout 10 minutes of nothing, we decided to nip and get some jump-leads as it’d be much much easier Headed up to Asda, but they didnt have any, and upon walking out I thought I recognised someone, and it wasn’t till they’d got near and waved at me that I realised it was Blaine’s missus Em. Bit random to see her in them neck of the woods, but we carried onto the Garage near Garibaldi School, and our luck was in! Last box

Few moments later and the car was firing up again, so I left it running whilst I got some bits together, and then headed over to my mum and dads for an hour before heading over to Gossips for my haircut. From there I had decided to make use of my saturday afternoon, and the fact I was out and about and headed over to the gym. Spent a good 45 minutes on the treadmill, alternating between a nice jogging pace for 5 minutes, then a quick print for 5 minutes, and it felt bloody good for a bit once I’d done. Emily decided she was gonna follow me, and I bumped into her just as I was leaving the gym, so we had a bit of a chat before I headed off to catch the 2nd half of the FA Cup Final. first time I’d not really been that interested in the FA Cup final for quite some time, and I thought from the 2nd half, Cardiff could have deserved something from the game, but they just didnt make David James work in the Pompey goal, so guess they got what they deserved in the end (if that makes sense ) Saturday night was spent chatting to Lucy on msn and watching a few films, including GI Jane, and Commando on channel 4

Woke up sunday bout 11ish, and headed to put some petrol in the car, and take the car through the car wash for once, and then headed over to my mums for some dinner. Our Lewi brought Owen up for a bit, so we played with some of his jigsaws and his impressive amount of cars till I’d had my dinner and decided to head off home to lounge about for the rest of the day. Sat chatting to Lucy on msn, whilst she was errmmm busy revising and watched Scorpion King, whilst waiting for 9pm, with the return of Ultimate Force! God what a quality program. LOVE IT!!

The Celtic fan in me (yeah he’s still here hidden, despite not HAVING to support them now ) was quite hapy to see that Rangers have almost thrown away the league title! Was only a few weeks ago they headed into an Old Firm double header a good few points clear, and victory in one of them would have seen them have an almost unassailable lead at the top of the SPL, but Celtic have kept their flowing football going, and managed to turn it around, so with Rangers having 2 games left, they’re 3 points behind with a goal difference of -7 on Celtic!! Looks like Thursday night is gonna be a great evening!! Altho I remember seeing Rangers snatch the title from Celtic’s grasp twice in recent years, so we will see what happens

But I think this story takes it a little extreme!!

A Canadian man who asked his lover to carve a heart-shaped symbol on his chest during a rough sex game almost died when she accidentally pressed too hard and punctured his heart, a newspaper said on Thursday.

The Winnipeg Free Press said the 25-year-old woman had been sentenced to three years’ probation after she pleaded guilty to assaulting the man in February 2007.

The 24-year-old man was initially given little chance of survival but made a full recovery and is backing the woman. Both had been drinking heavily and engaging in rough sex when he asked the woman to carve the symbol, the paper said LINK

Also this may teach the bloke who walked into a Deer enclosure when its the middle of the breeding season…

 An Australian man was gored in the thigh on Friday by an amorous stag after entering a deer paddock in the middle of the breeding season.

The 26-year-old worker at the tourist farm near Sydney ignored signs on the paddock gate warning people to keep out and was charged by the stag, the husband of the farm’s owner told Reuters.

“It was the middle of the rut (breeding season), that is why the animal was acting like it did,” Barry Hibbard told Reuters.

The man, who was apparently trying to feed some grass cuttings to the deer, was taken to hospital after the incident and is expected to be sent home later on Friday, Hibbard said.

Hibbard said the animal was usually very docile, but did not take kindly to the intrusion of another male into its territory.

“He had six or seven girlfriends, you can imagine he would be protective in those circumstances,” Hibbard said.

“I know I would be if I was that lucky.”
