Me - aged 8

T'is me at the grand old age of 8 in a school fotie.
I may have posted this before - I can't remember. 

Sellotape dispenser

I bought a sellotape dispenser from Viking Direct. The sellotape I am putting in it isn't actually sellotape. Sellotape being the trade name (that Blue Peter was never allowed to say). It is cheap stuff. I think I bought ten rolls of it for £1.00 . So why on earth did I then pay £10 for the dispenser.

Hoover - that's another one where the trade name is universally used.
Tannoy - that's another.

Men and women

I was just thinking to myself there
If a man turns up at a function and saw another wearing identical clothes he'd probably say "Good choice in clothes, mate". If a woman turned up and saw another women wearing the same clothes she'd probably jump out the first available window to escape and avoid embarrassment.

They are a funny bunch - wimmin'

Rigatoni Carbonara

This time with all the fat fighting information.
What does it all mean?

Mushroom soup

I think it will be a lot easier if I just scan the labels of everything I eat from now on. Just now I'm about to have some "Cream of Mushroom Soup". It won't look quite like this. It never does. Besides, I will be having mine straight out of a Vitalite tub because that's what I am heating it up in the microwave in.

All that's passed my lips today....

10:00pm
You'll have to read the previous comments to understand the title. So all that's passed my lips today has been that tin of Rigatoni Carbonara, one cup of coffee and a couple glasses of coke. Pah! But no oranges yet.

What I have been eating

I think I'll take a note of what I am eating each day to see just how much my diet doesn't vary.

Thursday 30th March 2006
Cornflakes
Betabuy Instant Noodles (curry)
Cup-a-soup (chicken)
Six sandwiches (**)
Plumrose Chicken Korma & rice

(**) Each day that I cycle to XYZ to work (usually Wed, Thu and Friday) I have six sandwiches. 2 in jam, 2 with a cheese slice and 2 with chicken sandwich filler. I also have one slice of bread with my cup-s-soup. How interesting.

Sunday 2nd April 2006
Rigatoni Carbonara (pasta tubes)

And this brings me to the present moment in time (having just finished the above mentioned Rigatoni Carbonara)

Like a prune

I just went for a shower. I'm suffering the worst cold known to man. Not really - I had one some time ago that was torture as I couldn't breathe. I'm struggling to breathe now - but nowehere near as bad as then.
Back to my shower. Because it was so nice and warm under the shower I spen't a little too long in there. I have come out resembling a prune.

What does this mean?

This is a text I sent at 1:56am. As the clocks went forward this would actually have been at 2:56am because my phone still hasn't changed the time yet.

So that the hell does it mean? And I thought I wasn't drunk. I have no recollection of sending this.

Sportsmans Dinner

One of the speakers at the Sportsmans Dinner was the guy that reads the football results out on the radio. It will be funny listening to the results after his performance on Saturday. I think I had 9 or 10 pints all night. How sad is that? I even went to a disco afterwards. Christ - what was I thinking. I wasn't the oldest there - but there was probably on one or two people older. I was asked to turn off my mobile phone before going in. What the hell was that all about. As I don't wear a watch my only way of knowing the time was with my mobile. So on it went again. At that point all the lights exploded. So I left.

For a while I was the only person that wasn't wearing a suit. I felt right out of place. I had a shirt and tie on. I'm trying to remain anonymous and then stick out like a sore thumb. Later a couple of others arrived without suits. Then the team players arrived and some of them were wearing jeans.

They played some stupid games. The compere for the evening would toss a coin. Everyone in the room had to stand up. You then had to place your hand on your head if you thought it wasn't going to be heads or on your bum if you thought it wasn't going to be tails. If you were wrong you had to sit down. I sat down even though I was right as I didn't want to be the last person standing. Same with the Irish bingo. I paid £5 for the card then hoped I wouldn't win the prize.

Answer the phone

This is what I got for not answering the phone. I was at a Sportsmans' Dinner for my local football club. During the first speaker my phone goes off. I manage to get it out and cut the caller off. Then it goes off again. So I cut it off again. I turn the volume right down and put the phone in my pocket. And then it starts vibrating. So I let it vibrate for a couple of minutes and turn it off. I then text the caller to say it was a bad time to call and then this is what I get. I ask you - what has happened to the standard of english teaching in our school tuday. Of all the times for it to start ringing. I try and be anonumous most of the time because I suffer from Social Anxiety and then this happens.

why does my eye always close

I was talking to my Dad on Thursday and noticed one of his eyes was more shut than the other. I've notied the same thing with me. One eye always seems more shut than the other.

The wrong person

Why is it when I'm depressed I always think back to my youth and then feel even more depressed. I can honestly say that the last time I was really happy was the summer of 1982. I can't say I remember anything of that summer. I just left school and was drunk most of the summer. By November things had started to go sour. I've a permanent reminder of the 5th November of that year. I became the ultimate wrong person that night. I don't what's worse....being a wrong person? Or now that I'm old - a non-person? I think my batch of home brewed lager had ripened (I don't know the right word) around that time. I was drunk every night in October. I say "home brewed lager" - it had the same colour as lager but that's where the similarities ended. I remember drinking it with someone one night and we went through packet upon packet of chewing gum in an attempt to deaden the taste. I was crazy stuff. It didn't do anything to your legs. But it made your lips go numb. And talking was impossible. So you'd walk up to someone and they wouldn't notice anything out the ordinary. You'd open your mouth and it was like Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men.

My cheap bouncy shoes

These cost £10 - and you can see why. The bit at the front isn't stitched - it is glued. 3 months maximum I'll give them and that's if I just wear them once a week for half an hour.

Is it bad luck to put new shoes on a table? Well I've worn them once so they're no longer new. Besides I've broke six mirrors already to justify my life of bad luck.

Must be the angle I took the picture at and the way the shoes are placed but they look really small. They are actually size 13. And you know what the say about blokes with big feet.........they have a fucking nightmare of a time finding shoes to fit them.

Missed work today

I missed work today. I just dithered about too long this morning on the computer and by the time I'd finished it had started to rain a little. So I thought, I'll give it 15 minutes for the rain to go off. But it didn't. It got harder. My brother's van passed by my bedroom window so I picked up the phone to see if he could give me a lift to work if he was heading back that way. But I wasn't fully dressed. With hindsight, I should just have gone ahead and phoned him as it would only have taken me 5 or 10 minutes to get ready. By this time the rain was belting down and there was a vicious wind. If t had just been windy - I'd have cycled. If it had been raining on its own - I'd have put on waterproof trousers and cycled. But wet and windy - is just too misearble to cycle in. I wish I'd just gone when I had first thought of switching off the computer....around 10:30 am.

Bouncy shoes

Just went out in my cheapo trainers to Morrisons. Christ - they are bouncy. I almost felt like running in them......then remembered my right foot is mostly numb and I'd end up falling over. They even look cheap. Still - I'm an old fart now. I buy things based on cost not on looks. Wait a minute - I've always done this. I must have been born an old fart.

Songs reminded me of places

Do you ever get this where a song can remind you of a particular place or whatever you were doing. Just after posting these pictures of the space where a hotel once stood it brought it back to me that every time I hear "Road to nowhere" by the Talking Heads reminds me of sitting at the bar of that hotel on a Sunday eating a pie. It probably means nothing to the one person reading this blog....or maybe a second person that clicked on to it by mistake etc. The Sunday part is very particular. It had an earlier licence than most on a Sunday. Mid-day, instead of 12:30pm that all the others opened at. An extra half hour meant everything on a Sunday if you had a hangover and wanted a curer. Certain songs by Simple Minds also remind me of this hotel/pub. Another reason this has just occurred to me is I'm listening to Virgin radio Classic Rock (0184) on satelite tv and "Brothers in arms" by Dire Straits. This also reminds me of eating a pie - but in no particular place. Must be getting nostalgic in my old age. Or maybe just wanting my youth to return.

Transparent adverts

I'm pretty sure I clicked on a transparaent advert on the Channel Four news forum. One of these things that didn't get blocked by my pop-up killer. But when I went to click a link I was taken to the full advert website rather than another page on the C4 news forum. They're sneaky buggers right enough.
