oh my life.....

I can't believe i haven't posted here since the new year. Time has gone so quickly ( not a bad thing because not long until i can drive now!! well, august, not all that far away.........)  College is going spot on, hectic social life = good fun, and the weeks until the end of the college year are ticking away  HAVE IT!!
 
A few weeks ago I went ice skating with my good friend Martin ( after the last time i swore i would never go again but couldn't resist)( ooh and well done for passing ur driving test me old mate!!!)  and it was so much fun / painful / and more fun. My falls didnt quite stray into double figures despite my best efforts ( i got 9) (sore bum) but I managed to injure half of the people on the ice in the process. I took out a little "show off" kid in a 2-footed tackle which, had it appeared on the football field, would have been a straight red card, and all be it accidental, i was wetting myself for ages. I also bitch-slapped some guy behind me around the face as I lost my balance, which he wasnt all that happy about. but hey. its not me with the black eye! ( if the guy i hit reads this....... i was only joking about those last two lines  )
 
Im playing regular 5-a-side football in the Frome super-league on a tuesday evening, and our team certainly made an impact, beating a team of adults by 12 goals to nil, with each member of the 7 man squad grabbing a goal (even me) and i didnt let in a goal in 15 minutes between the sticks ( please note this is a new personal best). My shirt is the best ever, and i have number 69 on the back ( had to be done....)
 
So top of the league, only team not to concede a goal.... ( i can feel the other teams quaking in their astros)yet we are still going to be the whipping boys of the league. In our league we have a team consisting of members of Frome Town football club. adults. shit. help. lol
 
Ok i had a play fight with my brother earlier and he managed to rip off all my scab. bastard. and i have an amazing burn on my arm from and encounter with red-hot metal and it getting lodged on my arm. Painful but left me with a beauty mark on my arm. love it.
 
 
Music: Girl all the bad boys want ( bowling for soup)
 
Mood: Tired but cheerful
 
People online: Han, Aaron, Anna, Kate, Laura, Gemma, Sami and Danii.
 
Thinking: Sleepytime!!
 
 
Hope to post more regularly. I shall keep you updated on the progress of our 5 a side football!! PLease leave me comments seeing as this blog took around an hour to write because im soo sleepy! I like comments!!

Happy New Year!

Hiya everyone, I hope you all had a smashing Christmas and a banging new year! This blog entry is very special, not only is it the first blog entry of 2006 it is also the first time in ages that i have had enough time to actually write a blog entry, because now that college has started again, all of my time is consumed on travelling to and from college, aswell as trying to complete "Suduko Challenge", a book given to me by Santa at Christmas, on which I am still currently stuck on the very first "beginner" puzzle. Logical thinking is not a word in my vocabulary and Suduko seems to be a wee bit out of my league!

Its great to be back at college again, I'd missed everybody loads, so it was fantastic to see everybody again. The only downpoint of returning to college being the long days, getting up at 5.30 and getting home again at 7. This came as a bit of a shock to me having spent most of the holidays fast asleep in bed, because im lazy but I managed to cope. Just about.

What a weekend this has been!! F.A. Cup third round in the footy this week, and from the moment the draw was made, all football fans have been looking forward to this set of ties, with some potentially mouth-watering matches lined up, with both Man United and Middlesborough having to face non-league opposition and many Premiership clubs having to play teams from lower leagues. The 3rd round always serves up some shocks and surprises and in true FA cup fashion, Middlesborough were held to a draw by Nuneaton, Fulham were overturned by lowly Leyton Orient, and non-league Tamworth drawing against Stoke, and yet the prospect of the biggest FA cup shock of all time, if Burton can overturn Manchester United. It was a shame that Yeovil Town couldnt survive to fight in this round, but they did win in the league instead to move them up to tenth in League 1!!

Apologies to non-football fans if that all sounded like a load of bollocks to you!!

In other news, 3 cases of bird flu in humans have been confirmed in Turkey, the first cases registered in Europe. But the thing that has always baffled me is how do you tell if a bird has flu? Do you see him at the bottom of the garden wrapped up in blankets supping warm cocoa from a large mug? I don't know!

Ooh yes, by the way, Gemma is wanting my autograph lol, were gonna be famous, so if anyone else is interested in an autograph........

Hope to write again soon, please leave any comments in either the comment box below, or in my guestbook.

December 19

Hi. I just loaded up my space and realised its been over 2 months since i last posted an entry, so seeing as I have nothing better to do at the moment, i thought I'd add another entry.
 
Loads been happening since I last wrote. College is starting to get more difficult, lots of assignment deadlines have come and passed so I have been dead busy all the time. Trains have been awful these last few months, which has kind-of helped me, it means i can get on with some more work, all be it in the freezing cold on the station platform.
 
A quick shout out to Amy and Charlie, shopping last weekend was really fun, hope I didnt embarrass you too much with my helium singing in the station  but it was an amazing day!
 
College party  on Thursday was great fun, i was completely shattered at the end of it all, and would have fallen asleep in the taxi home had my ears not have been pounding! Thanks to Kat for an amazing dance  and, errr, a massive hiccy on my neck!!I finally got to sleep after about an hour of listening to Martin's gerbil having a party in his cage....... he just wouldnt shut up!! College the next day was a drag though, i physically felt so tired, and i wished i could just curl up and sleep...... and my wish came true seeing as i had I.T. just before lunch.
 
I'm finishing off my christmas shopping this week. Nearly finished it, but i have arranged for a few more shopping trips before the end of the week. Wednesday I'm going to Bath with Aaron which will be great fun, and then on Thursday, me and Gemma are going to be hitting the shops in, errr Trowbridge  which I'm looking forward to!
 
 
Ooh i other thing i thought id mention, i managed to swin 1.25 kilometres in the pool yesterday, its amazing what a can of red bull before sport can do to you. I was looking to do about 20 lengths, ended up doing 50....... and man I'm killing now!! My neck and shoulder is killing me, so im currently drugged up on Paracetemal ( is that how you spell it?) ( who cares  )
 
I dont know if i shall post another blog entry before christmas or not so I wish everybody a very merry christmas and a smashing new year!!
 
NOW:
Song: Somewhere Else - Razorlight
Mood: Tired with a headache and quite bored

What a week..........

Hello everybody   I thought i would add a blog entry to tell u about the week I've had..........
 
Monday and Tuesday went OK, lots of time in the workshop making cool stuff out of metal, where i got accused of being a lazy bum by my teacher, he said every time he looks around, im sat at the table talking with friends and not doing work..........a harsh accusation, but a true one all the same hehe! In my defense I argue I wasnt feeling very well on Tuesday....... which was true...... I really didnt have any energy to do the work. But by the end of Tuesday I had managed to produce a bottle-opener and a drill- bit holder. Which isnt bad for a couple of days work is it?  Lazy bum? My arse!!
 
On Wednesday, things were good fun, I almosted enjoyed it! Wednesdays are my long days at college, I dont finish until 8 o clock  eek!! And of course, relying on public transport and living so far away from the college, I dont get home until 9.45, by which time the only thing on my mind is my bed!
 
Got up on Thursday and didnt feel too brilliant, but I couldnt take the day off college so I decided to put on a brave face and try and enjoy myself, because in my eyes, when ur feeling down, the best way to feel better is to have a laugh and put on a brave face! Had a brilliant time, double electronics in the morning, which is brilliant fun, and then "portfolio building" all afternoon, AKA a social gathering for the class, and the time for a good chit-chat.
 
On Friday I wasnt feeling much better but decided to employ the same tactic as the previous day, and it proved to be successful , had a cracking day at school! it was Jeff's birthday today so kept reminding him not to crash the car in his first driving lesson  which he has since re-assured me that he didnt!
 
Saturday was OK, popped up to see Aaron for a bit, having got back from America yesterday (yay!) and then played badminton against my brother. And won  ( did i even need to mention that?!) In the evening Kate rang me for about 45 mins....... I would hate to see the phone bill...... which was good fun!!
 
Today has been great fun, played badminton in the morning against Aaron ( and I'm not going to embarrass him and mention the score) ( I lost  hehe!) Gave it my best shot ( excuse the pun ) but I still managed to lose!
 
I got home, then went shopping for a short while with Gabby which was good fun, more fun than being stuck indoors fuelling my addiction for FIFA 2005 ( I still suck at it!)
I got home, and then cooked up a yummy spaghetti bolognaise....... my speciality!! It was a success I have to say. My success in the kitchen is measured on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the best, where I produce a yummy meal without any major scares. 1 is the worst, whereby the meal is burnt beyond recognition, or i have endured a few major scares, such as dropping things on the floor. NOTE: If the kitchen catches fire in any way, the success is automatically rated a 1. I have never got this bad luckily  Cooking is brilliant fun, I have a pic of me being a whizz in the kitchen, and i look so involved in what I'm doing, I was completely oblivious to my dad taking a picture of me cooking, on my phone!! I shall add it soon to my crapbook, i mean, photo album
 
A few quotes relevant to me this week.......
 
  • If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished. ( my bottle opener rocked and was spot on!!)
  • The Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at maths. ( how many more tickets am I going to have to buy before I realise I am more likely to buy the Crazy Frog album than win the lottery) ( And I absolutely detest the Crazy Frog....... the only thing I have enjoyed with him in it was this game where i had to whack him as far as I could using a baseball bat....... muhaha!) ( Bad example........ Never ever am I going to buy the crazy frog album....... I cant stand that singing turd!! At least there is a remote chance of me winning the lottery!)

 

  • Born free... taxed to death ( Yes...... got my 1st pay packet last week..... only to find that a huge sum of money had to be payed out in tax and national insurance. Its a scandal I tell you! Never have i had to pay out that much money in my life........ grrr stupid government! I hate being taxed, its really depressing!!)

Bedroom Golf

 Bedroom Golf
  1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two balls.
  2. Course played on must be approved by the owner of the hole.
  3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out of the hole.
  4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
  5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club to avoid damage to the hole.
  6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that the play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again!
  7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the entire course, with special attention to well formed bunkers.
  8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played on or are currently playing, to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage a player's equipment for this reason.
  9. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
  10. Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played on for the first time. Previous players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else playing what they consider to be a private course.
  11. Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case.
  12. Slow play is encouraged; however, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners request.
  13. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
  14. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.

Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a golf course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner and the rules are subject to change at any time. For this reason, many players prefer to continue playing on several different courses.

 

Random Irritations this week........

  • Paying £1.40 for a bottle of Dr Pepper at the train station. Daylight Robbery.
  • Train cancelations (again)
  • Homework, I get wayyy too much
  • I had a massive chunk of my pay packet taken away for tax
  • Its blummin cold in the mornings, I had to purchase some wooly gloves!
  • Train replacement services suck. The buses always run late. Always.

 

I have now added some more pictures to my space :) a few of me in my overalls Gem...... I was bored so thought I would type up this joke........... a real cracker! *H*a*p*p*y* *B*i*r*t*h*d*a*y* for tomorrow Claire :) I actualli got the right date this time around!

Good talking to you earlier Amy u crack me up! Hope u have fun at work tomorrow!

Love you all xxxxxxxxx

  • Soggy sandwiches. Yuk!
  • No money until payday
I. Am. Very. Bored. I was about to play football but its started to rain and it is freezing so my friends and I came to a mutual agreement we wouldnt play football after all today. Which was a shame because I can't think of much else to do, I have done my homework  and nobody was online, when I had a brilliant idea...... I thought I would add a new blog entry to try and kill some time...... and still nobody is online so I may cook dinner in a minute. Im so tired I really can't be bothered to do much else today...... I.......want.....sleep........*yawn*....

Employee Training

 In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of Special High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T). We are trying to give employees more S.H.I.T than anyone else.

If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T on the job, please see your manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T list, and our managers are especially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T you can handle.

Employees who do not take their S.H.I.T will be placed in Departmental Employee Evaluation Programs (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T) Those who fail to take D.E.E.P S.H.I.T seriously will have to go to Employee Attitude Training (E.A.T S.H.I.T).

Since our managers took S.H.I.T before they were promoted, they do not have to do S.H.I.T anymore, as they are all full of S.H.I.T already.

If you are full of S.H.I.T, you may be interested in a job training others. We can add your name to our Basic
Understanding Lecture List (B.U.L.L S.H.I.T) Those who are full of B.U.L.L S.H.I.T will get the S.H.I.T jobs, and can apply for promotion to Director of Intensity Programming (D.I.P S.H.I.T)

If you have further questions, please direct them to our Head Of Training, Special High Intensity Training (H.O.T S.H.I.T)

Thank you,


Boss in General
(B.I.G S.H.I.T)
 
 
Just a quick word to say "come on england, the ashes are now where they belong!" iv been gripped by this thrilling cricket action for the past 6 weeks and for england to win it is absolutely brilliant! good old andrew flintoff driving the troops forwards...... i just wish i could say similar postive remarks about the english football team....... with a turnip as a manager and a gooney, i mean rooney, up front. im glad to have got that one of my chest, but there is no way the embarrassment of losing to northern ireland will ever go away from me, and fair play to Ireland, they totally deserved it!
 
I apologise to everybody for hardly ever being on msn at the moment, but being at college until 7 o clock, it doesnt leave me with much time on here. on wednesdays i wont be on here at all........i dont get back on a wednesday until a whopping 10 o clock! when i get home i head straight for bed where i drop off before my head even hits the pillow!
 
Hope everyone is well, and i shall talk soon!!

Taxi passenger

width=0> A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much. "The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."
 
Haha! another classic joke! i love it. As u may or may not know, i started my new job a few weeks ago, and all is going well, except i have to say the long days and early starts are taking their toll on me, i have only been getin 6 hours sleep a night which leaves me absolutely knackered by the time i cruise into work in the mornings! I have added some more pictures to my photo album (check them out!!!) and i have pictures of me in my somewhat hidious yet tremendously cool orange boiler suit! I love it, firstly it means i will never be lost when in a crowd of people, and secondly, ummmmmmm.............. they look cool! Anyway, i have now settled into a routine with regards to work, so expect to see more frequent blog entries, just like the good old days when i wasnt working.......... ooh what i would do to be like that again! Very quickly, id just love to give a shout to all of my new friends at chippenham college, none of my old friends from my local college go to chippenham college so i have had to make loads of new friends, and i have to say guys, you are all brilliant mates. And yes, i know i suck at pool, please dont rub it in.............

Make Love not War

An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Monte Casino went to the local church for confession. When the priest asked the man what he wanted to confess, the man said, "Father, during World War II, a beautiful woman knocked on my door and asked me to hide her from the enemy. So I hid her in my attic."

The priest replied, "That was a wonderful thing you did, my son! And you have no need to confess that." "It's worse than that, father. She started to repay me with sexual favors."

The priest said, "By doing that, you were both in great danger. However, two people under those circumstances can be very tempted to act that way. But if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven."

"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I do have one more question ."

"And what is that?" asked the priest.

"Should I tell her the war is over?
 
 
Haha, a classic joke! Well on a different note, i started work on tuesday and have been dead busy since then so i havent really had chance to add blog entrys, much to my sadness. I work at Westbury Cement Works, which is the biggest cement factory IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Awesome!! Absolutely love it there, and the only things i have discovered that dont take my fancy is a) come lunchtime, my sandwiches are covered in dust and are usually soggy and b) when i try and relieve myself of my access bodily fluid in the toilets, some gay person jumps out of no-where and grabs on2 ur leg, causing u 2 urinate all over the shop. But apart from that its brill!! Now the only thing i'm waiting for is my 1st wage slip.......
 
So thats how my life is, and i'm adding some more pictures to my photo album in the next few days, full of random pictures from my travels over the summer which consisted of, erm, a few days in a tent in weymouth. And, nearly forgot, a few days at my nans. Fun fun!!

Blonde Paint Job!!

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
 
HAHA now that one cracked me up! I love blonde jokes!! So funny!  lol kate if ur reading this babe, just be thankful you're not quite THAT blonde lol!!
