……he HATES SCOUSERS!

ding ding round 2….

or for those of you wondering wtf, a huge fuss has been made after Neville celbrated Ferdinand’s last second goal against Liverpool last week in front of *shock horror* the Liverpool fans…after running the length of the pitch he searched for and found his badge and kissed it in an act of celebration. Now apparently the nation is appalled…but for some reason not so with Robbie (i can’t make my mind up about which team i love) Fowler for a similar display in the Manchester Derby.

My view…get over it lol people pay to watch football to get involved in the atmosphere, part of which is built up by displays such as Neville’s. Tis all part of the entertainment…and no am not just saying that as a red, tomorrow night if Torquay score i will react as angrilly as the liverpool fans and yes will hurl appropriate abuse at such players and most likely the referee…that’s what football’s all about – passion!

Anyways, the draw’s been made for the 5th round of the FA Cup and Guess where Manchester United are headed

Tis all fun!

Try not to work to hard (ahem)

Will buy you a birthday pint tomorrow night!

So last night I get a txt from Mr Howard saying Leo from his work wanted a pic of him, so he gave him my url…Ok I think, followed by, Why does a bloke want a pic of Ian….his reply was ‘you’ll see tomorrow but I’m scared you’ll blog it…’

So not wanting to disappoint:

Its been a bit of a strange and difficult week, hence the lack of blogging. The funeral was yesterday with Brian, the ex priest in charge of St Pauls delivering a lovely touching eulogy that truly summed up Grandad.

Thanks you to everyone who has tried to keep me sane over the past week, esp Kath for running up (no not literally) from London to be with us for the first few days of last week, to everyone who’s offered or had their shoulder cried on and for all the txt messages, calls and e-mails.

Just received an e-mail from Egg asking me for customer feedback….pmsl

Do you have faith in our systems? Well no seeing as every time I make an overpayment you either send me a letter of default or a letter saying my regular repyment will remain at £495!

Did you feel like you last call was scripted? No because I mentally quality check all calls I make to other banks, esp when i’ve just finished work and I’m not convinced that she read all the scripts she was meant to instead of rewording them… I did convince her to open a smile current account though

Do we deliver on prmises? If you call 4 months to receive some paying in envelopes delivering on promises…by the time I got them i didn’t actually need them anymore and was just intrigued at how long it would take.

Would you recommend banking with Egg to your friends? I don’t think I hate anyone that much…

I like to walk with Grandpa,
His steps are short like mine,
He doesn’t say, “Now Hurry Up!”
He always takes his time.

I like to walk with Grandpa,
His eyes see things like mine do…
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.

Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see.
I’m glad that God made Grandpa,
Unrushed and young like me.

Happy Birthday Grandad,

88 today!

Love you lots
