Wide awake in dreamland

So that was a grind long nights impossible odds ..... oops broke into lyric mode hahahaha really busy with lots going on at a snails pace with a little grief at the end, however the peeps involved turned out to be gents and world war three was averted, some journeys on empty public transport helped shape my brain and although i have kept a low profile i have been here (watching numbers as usual) too tired to put a complete train of thought down on paper ( so to speak) bide my time and well here we are and again short and sweet shall be the order of the day still compiling for book number two and i still need to feel my way back in to this blog thingy hahahaha numbers are low double which i can live with it's a start and no redneck infestation so I'm really happy could have done with some sleep today stayed up after my last night shift i'm getting ready to crash and burn luckily the wife is handling me with kid gloves until the next time ....TOODLES

A New Age

So I Sat there with baited breath ........it was like Christmas all over again, I tracked my little package (down boys) from sunny San Francisco via Fed Ex all the way to Paris and then finally to Stansted while waiting for it's international clearance I sat there like an expectant father, then to be told that it was on it's way oooh I was so excited then to have my hopes dashed cruelly on the rocks like an ocean liner run aground on those hidden spines of rock, Fed Ex turned up 30 minutes too soon and there was a card saying sorry you weren't in, "what do you mean you said Thursday you ingrates" but I calmed down it was in Jarrow not far  and not long the wife chilled me out and made the call to the nice people in Jarrow and it was arranged for today, my youngest had an hour to kill before heading back to college, she said she would help an old man, I was 400 yards from home when she rang and told me it was signed sealed delivered and sat waiting for me on the table.......what is it I hear the world ask it's my book it's here I have read it I have held it I very nearly caressed it, I know its not a massive thing but its done and I'm so proud its like I have twin boys and they have signed for my favourite football team in this case Consett AFC hahahahaha yes there are a few things wrong with it but that's my issue, I rushed it(typical man) and I didn't want to wait now that the first one is out of the way I can concentrate on the second one and really have fun,with all new all swinging tales from the tee hee club you must excuse me I need to lie down, I have just help deliver my first born ......watch the skies for the next thrilling instalment   TOODLES

cheap and nasty

OK so we had a limited time to get ready but that's what we did we put on our fancy clothes and drove at a respectable pace it was my works 25Th anniversary and we had been invited this was a big deal a very big deal I had to be on my best behaviour why because I like the job I do and it was time to play the game not something I would normally do but it is something I have to start because its a big bad world out there and I need to know that me and mine are protected.
I should have known it wasn't going to go according to plan as the better half was having a bad time from the off with clothing issues something that a man will never understand and because we had got there after all the fireworks everybody had pinched all the seats so the back tables were standing room only this wasn't looking good for me or the wife but on scanning the area no extra seats could be found I knew this was soon going to spiral thankfully somebody who could walk further afield came to our rescue at least for the wife and the night didn't really sparkle there was an undercurrent mainly that it felt cheap and nasty the company was pleasant apart from the wife driving a trunk bomb into one conversation and then proceed to set the bloody thing off she wasn't looking for the semaphore signals that were screaming shut the feck up, that bomb recovered from it was time for the awards now after 25 years in one place you think wow I'm going to get a great pressie off the company .....guess again toilet roll and other freebies which they hand out every day oh and an umbrella well I wasn't bothered by the time i got there that they had finished dispensing the (ahem ) goodies but they knew where i would be so i know that at some point that it would turn up but nope the wife went hurtling towards the deep end she didn't get that i really didn't care about the crap that i had dodged, she was well and truly on form now if you can remember what i said at the beginning this was a big deal and it was about to get messy.
I don't mind my wife going off if its deserved but i would prefer she went off like a snipers rifle and not the scatter gun she tends to be and i was starting to get annoyed if this got ugly now the hangman's noose was rearing it s ugly head thankfully the lovely Kate saved the day and turned up with my bag of (shite) goodies and from there on in it was as if somebody had burst a balloon the night levelled off we went from def con 1 to def con 5 and then i actually got to play the game do a little networking managed to corner the big cheese and put my case forward when it was asked for and not forced on them and generally had a pleasant evening praise the lord
again this is early days for the blog but numbers are double and that's better than single so I can live with that but I do need to find my thread so still small but perfectly formed until the next time Toodles

Best Behaviour

oh dear I have to behave myself .......but I digress back to work this week and it has been supersonic good but really fast, and no contrary to popular belief I have not gone back to work because there is a party to celebrate 25 years of my place of work being open and the fact that they haven't twigged yet and I'm still there  has to be a plus, me and the good lady wife are heading to the shindig and I have to wear proper clothes not t shirt and jeans and with the wife going I really do have to behave myself .....not sure how that's going to pan out watch this space there could be a doozy of a blog heading this way ......this isn't it though I'm off to soak my weary bones in a hot bath for an hour but the old grey matter is percolating so watch this space!

A pubic hair on the toilet of life!

What can I say that didn't take long "grumpy's home" damn I have been annoyed and so pissed off today (hence the title pop pickers) not because of work not because of anything that anybody has done I just want to go GRRRRRRRRRRR if anybody knows why answers on a postcard to I don't give a rats ass dot com, but hey life's not a bowl of ice cream all the time but I suppose I had better sort myself out cos the wife does not deserve grumpy if anybody has answers on that one or simply wants to give me a million quid please feel free to do so, technology issues here and at work I suspect are the root of the problem everything running way too slow for me hey what can I say if I want something I want it now! so again short and sweet just how we like them at the moment and as for numbers they are minuscule but you never know from little acorns ......boring blogs do grow until next time TOODLES

The Clock Moves Sideways

aaaaah the cheese  very nearly slide off my cracker, what a day I was like a kid first day back in what seemed like an age I had a great work programme worked out and fire works as well , I was awake at a ungodly time it felt just like Christmas morning I was so excited I crept down the stairs as though Santa had been, it didn't take me too long to be deflated my lift was nearly 10 minutes late but I bit my tongue as I just wanted to get there, I wasn't disappointed when I got there there was indeed a time warp it was like I hadn't been off a day same moans same people just a different day (or not as it seemed) and just as quick as it arrived it was over and I didn't get to see any fireworks boo hoo! these first few blogs shall be just a tad on the short side I have to get back in the swing of things , so until  the clock indeed does move sideways that'll do for now.....Toodles!
