Was meant to be watching Justin Moorhouse tonight at The Comedy Store. Rushed home jumped in the shower and ran out again to get as far as the bottom of the road when I checked my phone to see Paul had sent me a message saying it was cancelled.

Ho hum at least i didn’t actually get on the train, unlike Claire who was coming over from Glossop and half way to town.

Now my Sunday evening’s free, do I sort out my rewrite of the last college module and do a bit of housework, or slob out in front of the tv all night…?

Apparently we lost 3-0

Instead me and Sarah spent the day at the flix. We saw ‘Closer’ first. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that good either. The critics say Julia Roberts and Jude Law were particularly weak and for once I have to agree with them. Like ‘Eternal Sunshine’ I got the feeling it was trying to hard to be a film it’s not.

On a more positive note, we then went to see ‘Meet The Fockers’….much better laughed all the way through it, def one to go and see

Another source of amusement was whilst waiting to go in. The first showing off Fockers was kicking out just as ‘Creep’ was starting across the way, so watched a number of scrotes run across and sneak into Creep only to be grassed on by a kid who looked about 7 and then were all marched out again!

Footy wise, at least United had a good match, missed the first goal, but was very impreesed with the 2 from Roo. I prefer Champ Man to real life, am aboyt to get knocked out of the FA cup in the 5th round by Villa, but the LDV is almost mine

We had a memo circulated today that I wanted to blog, but as it has the compmany name all over it, thought wouldn’t be appropriate (see post before last lol). Anyways, it was about health and safety when lifting and was along the same lines as this, but worse…much worse…

Although I was accused of having a dirty mind, it can’t just be me as Dom, Kirst and Kev all had the same response *snigger* If I can find the actual instructions (I’m sure it must be on the web somewhere) I promise to share lol

Shamelessly stolen from the late show..think these are too subtle for Kev

We’ve all heard about the bloke from waterstones, but you can now see a list of companies that have sacked/disciplined/refused to hire staff because of their blog here.

At the moment this hasn’t affected anyone I know, but Wrapstar over at CCC is getting a bit worried.

Spose it’d make a change from the usual reasons people get fired….

Just coz that’s the mood I’m in :p

Firstly must say well done to Sproggy Woo who’s managed to achieve good grades and get her going to college bonus….which more importantly means she can pay me back the money she owes me and has bought me a pressie! *hugz*

A grr reason for rah is Mr Batty has decided he’s not coming to Swindon on Saturday, fair enough, but a bit more notice would have been nicer, espescially as he was meant to have booked the coach by now grrr Even bigger grr as the train fare is stupid to get to Swindon and would take 4 hours!

Off to play Champ Man (too tempted to comment about baby club but won’t) and make pasta….

Night all x

Anyone want a Gmail account? One of the things that amuses me at work is when we check the customer’s e-mail address at the end of the call…those who have g mail accounts are very proud of them as they’re so selective…would hate to upset them by saying I have such an exclusive account as well

So now I have invites to allow more chosen ones to share the dream…if you want one let me know..this offer is on a strictly first come first served basis

One of the entries on my ‘My 50′ list is to go to an Art Gallery, so today me and Kath were edumacated at The National Potrait Gallery. Was very impressed with the portraits there, and even more so at the size of the gallery. We must have spent at least 3 hours looking round and still only managed half of the second floor and only touched on the first floor before the security guards were ushering us out as it was closing. Will def go back next time I’m in London.

Then had the fun of the train journey home…had forgotten that ‘maintenance work’ is carried out on Sundays so Stockport was closed meaning a detour through Gatley and Burnage….was even less impressed to find Bredbury was also closed, so had to get a cab home from Picc…it cost me more to get from Manchester to Bredbury than from London to Manchester.

Got home to find a letter from Egg…they have received my compliant and would like me to know the FSA timescales for answering it…best bit is I didn’t even get to send the ‘pass this to a senior manager’ message….We will see what happens…
