    ANOTHER post? so soon?

    It’s Friday people! 🙂 I’ll be finishing early today, then Lisa and I are off to the O2 for the Channel 4 Comedy Gala Spurs need one more win (from 2 remaining games) to confirm second place in the league. Now everyone says second place is just first loser, but all these people support the Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal et al who have all finished lower…this confuses me until I realise it’s all jealousy – jealousy of our players, of our manager, of the team’s fitness levels… 129 days until Mexico…

    Alert! alert! new post :O

    Wow, 18 months since my last post…and reading that, things have certainly changed! and all for the better. Firstly, Lisa and I got married – very romantic affair really, it was sold to me that financially it made sense with the properties etc. As such, we got 2 witnesses, Lisa’s dad, and my mum and off to the registry office. We had the Muppet Show theme tune playing during the ceremony, then Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’ (the only ‘sensible’ wedding ceremony song), follwed by Foo Fighters ‘Long Road to Ruin’. We left the registry office to the Muppets ‘Manamana’. Lisa […]

The Conservatives want new laws to impose temporary bans on extremists re-entering the UK from foreign conflicts. However, the Lib Dems have questioned the legality of such measures. ‘Questioned the legality’? They are terrorists FFS – kick the bastards AND their families out of the country and send them to Syria/Iraq. And forget the temporary bit – strip them of […]

    Bit of an update

    I seem to have neglected my blog for a while now, so let me bring you up to date: Since February ’13 I’ve been mostly working – I had a lot of trips to Singapore/Malaysia last year (Lisa came with me for one week out there). Working in the heat out there is so draining… Talking of work, we have now moved to new premises. Where we had the office separate from the workshop by about 5 miles, we now have everyone under the same roof – the old workshop has been knocked down and the land is going to […]

    Summer is finally here…

    After what seems likes months of rain, we finally have beautiful sunny weather 🙂 I’ve got the day off to get my new passport – I REALLY didn’t look like my old one (photo taken in 2004) – I’ll add the then and now pictures later. Anyway, work has been very busy which means no time to blog in between running the workshop, dealing with customers, and frequent journeys abroad :P. I don’t think I mentioned it, bit I have a new phone – the HTC One X – which is awesome (yes, even more so than my old Nokia […]
