Paul's inane ramblings

There are some things in life that you just have to take a double take at… Today, I finished work and came home back to the (major) housecleaning – wait, that sounds like I live in a shithole – I don’t, it’s just I’ve let the general housekeeping ‘slip’ away a tad. Anyway, after an hour or so working (moving feck off big boards into the loft prior to laying them), I took time out and had a cup of tea. Hat came round to see if I’d go mow her lawn. Well of course it was like a break […]

I’ve had a housecleaning head on 😐 Decided I was gonna recover my spare rooms (they were quite literally full of computer parts, monitors, cases and other junk). Couple of evenings getting stuck in and I have a REAL spare room 😯 – the back bedroom is getting there too, the boards I’d got to floor the loft space have finally been cut down so they’ll go through the loft hatch (my job for the weekend – lay them) and once they’re out of there all I need to do is hoover the room through and I’ll once again have […]

Last night was good – originally we were gonna go around town, but ended up staying in the Tudor (cheap beer, good people) until about 10, then hit town. Twice I tried to go home, both times met up with another mate who convinced me to go back into town – finally got home about 1 – VERY drunk, and crashed out on my couch…which brings me to the next bit… Another video of me snoring is up on Youtube now – Harriett took 2 of me last night when she came in (I really need to learn to lock […]

I gave in to the pressure (well, I was curious as to what comments I’d get), so I uploaded the video of me snoring to YouTube. I put a couple of videos up there, and will see what others I can get… I’ve had a head cold this week – seems to be hanging on longer than they usually do, but I should be fully fit by the weekend. I read a few blogs onlline – it’s a major source of fun stuff, and it seems more and more people are finding nothing to blog about. All I can say […]

As is fairly usual for a Monday, I was late into work 😐 .Took me an hour or so (and several cups of coffee) to get motivated into actually working, but then I had one of those beautifully surreal moments… My computer’s network name is ‘God’. I’d been in my office modifying one of our databases, then went into the other office. Completely forgetting that I’d left the database open on my machine, I tried to modify a record only to be faced with this: That set me off giggling like a girl for about 15 minutes – took away […]

OK, firstly, I’m posting this link: Race For Life My sister is running this for cancer research – most of my friends know what our family went through over the last 12 months (just reading her page has kinda choked me up) – as she says: “Cancer touches so many people..” On a different note – my internet is down at home right now – I had to use dialup to get online and find out why. Seems my credit card was rejected 🙄 . I just updated the card details (same details) and the payment went through…looking online now […]

I decided Friday as I wasn’t meeting up with Hat that I’d ‘do the town’. Arranged to meet Andy at 8.30 and came home to bath etc. When I turned up at his, he was in bed and not coming out 😐 Walked with his girlfriend to the Tudor where she works and had a beer in there, then went to the RAFA club and the Globe before meeting a mate and going to the New Inn, Shotz, Falcon and The Wrestlers – then came back to the Tudor (cheaper beer 😉 ) I was a little drunk by now […]

Yet another classic QOTW entry: Well, he eats things in alphabetical order. So if we were having sausage, egg, chips and beans; he would eat all the beans, then all the chips, the egg and finally the sausage. I did confuse him once – is it Zucchini or courgette? He actually sat there for a while thinking about it! I did also ask him about when he is on holiday, say in France/Spain, does he eat in alpha betical order in English or in the language of the country in which he is in? It’s a valid point if you […]
