Saw this today and couldn’t stop chuckling to myself.  It’s a cartoon version of me

Wishing my Grandad a very happy birthday.  Hope you have a good one, and I’ll be seeing you Saturday for the pair of yours Golden Wedding anniversary Since the roads are sheer black ice, and I don’t think I have a chance of getting my car up the street

My car has not moved for over a week now, down to my living on a steepish hill, and having to reverse off the car parking square onto the road, meaning I couldn’t get enough of a run to make it up the hill last Monday.  Chris from over the road was watching and I got so far and the front end was just moving sideways, and once I let my foot off the power, and onto the brake, I suddenly started skating towards his work van! He didn’t see too bothered if I hit it, but I was   I’ve thus had to walk to and from work (Tell a ie, Al has given me a lift UP the hill on the way home) but it was slippy as hell this morning, and I just couldn’t seem to get any grip under my trusty old reebok classics, and so I’ve a bit of a bad back and knee from so many nervous moments where I thought I was gonna go head over heels, but managed to gain my balance.  It’s more that the old snow has frozen solid, and the new snow on top is just making it very very slippy under foot   At least non of the cars I’ve seen have taken the skating world by storm

I feel once again that I’ve neglected this part of my life over the festive period.  It’s not as though I’ve done much, it’s just when I’ve been at home, I’ve either been messing about on the internet or playing Call of Duty on the XBOX.  It got to the stage where I was that bored, I would go online for half an hour, then Call of Duty for half an hour etc etc   I plan on having a recap of my festive holidays soon!

More for comedy actually.  First saw this ages ago via email, but then watching a TV show last night, it was on the top 100 viral videos, so thought I’d stick it up for those who haven’t seen it

I’d like to take this moment to wish everyone who reads my blog a very Merry Christmas.  Hope you all have great ones with your family and loved ones

Strewth! This is hurting.  I think since I went to the gym last night, I’ve managed to kill off the top half of my body and find it’s going into Rigor Mortis haha. (Do you think I watch too much CSI?)  It’s at this time that I also throw my hat behind the Facebook campaign to try and get Rage against the Machine’s “Killing in the name of ” to Number 1 in the UK charts, as opposed to the manufacturer Joe blablabla who won that X Factor thing.  Early signs are that Rage are winning the battle.  Lets hope that it carries on.  I’m gonna have to become a little technically inept soon, as I just seem to attract annoying questions from the boss regarding alsorts of random stuff Half of which I’d never even think of wanting to know haha.  Roll on tomorrow night which is the work Xmas meal! Looking forward to winding down for good.

Last nights CSI Miami was good, and I can’t wait for both the start of the CSI New York on Jan 9th and the next season of CSI Miami in the new year! Along with hopefully another season of the Mentalist, NCIS’s latest season on FIVE and Flashforward.  Quite a list of very good tv shows there

This is quite an amusing story.  I will admit to looking forward to my Christmas day dinner round at my mum and dads with all the trimmings.  This bloke has taken it a step TOO far I eckon

A man known as Mr Christmas, who has eaten Christmas dinner every day for the last 16 years, has lost three stone after a halving his portions during the credit crunch.

Andy Park estimates that he has ingested nearly 118,000 sprouts and around 5,000 bottles of Moet champagne since his Christmas obsession began.

Every morning since July 14 1994 the father-of-one has breakfasted on mince pies and sherry, before eating a roast turkey lunch and watching the Queen’s Speech on video.

But since January the 45-year-old divorcee has slashed the size of his plate to keep his devotion to Yuletide going in the recession. The self-employed electrician – who insists he had celebrated Christmas every single day since 1994 – believes he is one of the few people to have benefited from the downturn.

More on the story HERE

So it’s the final working week before xmas (give or take a few days doing hire jobs for the hire side) and you’d imagine it’d be a case of trying to wind down and get things sorted ready for the rush that occurs doing the start of the year.  That would be apart from the fact that every bugger seems to be ill Maddsy has gone down with food poisoning or something daft, and Wendy has come down with a cold! I admit to having sniffles earlier this afternoon, but so far i’m not feeling too bad! Altho I swear if I come down with a cold grrrrr

Another groan is at old Mansfield Town FC legend Bobby Hassell, for snatching an 88th minute goal thus breaking our winning run of 7 games on the bounce! DAMN YOU TO HELL MR HASSELL. Suppose it wasn’t as bad as this game…

Hannover were instrumental in their own downfall in losing 5-3 away to Gladbach after scoring three own goals.

Karim Haggui’s blunder on 15 minutes gave Gladbach the lead and Rob Friend made it 2-0 on 22 minutes moments after he had been denied by the crossbar.

The visitors’ Arnold Bruggink was denied by the post, and the hosts’ Michael Bradley hit the bar, before Didier Ya Konan pulled a goal back for Hannover on 36 minutes.

Constant Djakpa’s own goal and Bradley’s drive put Gladbach in cruise control before Ya Konan scored his second of the game on 69 minutes.

Ya Konan was then sent off for picking up a second yellow card and Hannover pulled it back to 4-3 through Christian Schulz three minutes from time.

However, Hannover’s hopes of an unlikely comeback were thwarted in stoppage-time when Haggui put the ball through his own net for the second time in the game.

From the Sky Sports Bundesliga weekend write up

Reminds me of my days playing for Rainworth Colts when we used to be on the wrong end of 10/11 goal drubbings   This is how odd the Royal Mail is over here in the UK.  CarolAnne sent me a christmas card from herself, and one that Kieran made.  I got the one Kieran made on Friday, yet somehow the other card has missed the Saturday AND Monday post.  When both were sent from the same place at the same time.

Must say Happy Birthday to Miss Burrows who’s getting old today Nowhere near as old as me mind.

It’s safe to say I blame the current CSI Miami advert on FIVE for this.  It’s the season finale of CSI Miami, and this is playing through out the advert.  Have heard it many times, including in Blades of Glory, but rather than the Andrea Bocelli version I’ve plumped for the Katherine Jenkins version.  Just sets me off in goosebumps when the volume is turned up

WOW! I have just noticed that this is my 1000th post
