Back at work
What a great weekend 🙂 Milan is a beautiful city – expensive though (some places wanted 16 euros for a beer!). As I mentioned, finding a restaurant that sells food (not just a sandwich) wasn’t the easiest thing…but the food was lovely. The San Siro is a HUGE stadium – 85,000 capacity (not as big as Wembley then) – as you can see from the pictures, we went all over the place, Inter and AC’s dressing rooms, sat in the dugouts, stole a lump of turf 😉 …that seems to be standard procedure for me now, everytime I go to […]
Read MoreA post from Milan
Well, Milan is a great place 🙂 Apart from the amount of McDonald’s around…they’re bleeding EVERYWHERE! (oh, and there’s a Burger King just over the road from the hotel – makes for a great late night snack after serious drinking. Which brings me to the price of beer over here – average is 7 euros for a pint (that’s £6 odd). So, after paying this huge sum for a few, we found a supermarket with the intention of buying some vodka, getting pissed on it at the hotel, THEN going out. So, we found Polish vodka at 6.49 euros -. […]
Read MoreThursdays – full of the promise of the weekend
I LOVE Thursdays 🙂 Got my mum’s broadband connection up and running last night – complete with the whole “Install CD? manual? HA! I laugh at you!” then proceeded to plug all the cables in and use a browser (Firefox of course) to configure the router – job done. Had to use those power adaptor wireless thingies (technical term) ‘cos her master phone socket is downstairs while the computer is upstairs – connection is good though. Now all I’ve got to do is add a TV card so my brother and me can wire the CCTV cameras into the computer […]
Read Moresnee to the rescue!
Heh. Got a call from Harriett yesterday about her computer – apparently it was running ‘weird’ and could I take a look at it? So I picked it up, updated a few bits and delivered it back last night. Decided to go for a quick pint before going home, so I left the car on Harriett’s drive while I wandered to the Tudor (it’s literally a stone’s throw from her house). Just got my pint when my phone rang – Harriett. “Where are you?” says she, “In the bar having a beer.” was my reply. “Oh…I’ve locked myself in Phoebe’s […]
Read MoreLife, love and unity
It’s a wonderful thing isn’t it? Life I mean – where we get to endure years of education (OK, I use that term loosely as nowadays it seems hordes of chavs leave school without even being able to read etc.), then are set loose on the (mostly) unsuspecting world to provide for ourselves (and myriad illegitimate kids in the case of the aforementioned chavs). All this leads us eventually to what is probably the greatest creation on earth – yes: beer. So we work all week, yearning for 1pm on a Friday (I work half day on Fridays) and freedom […]
Read MoreB3ta
As I may have mentioned once or twice, I spend much of my working day (good job my boss doesn’t read my blog…) reading the QOTW on B3ta.com 🙂 This weeks’ QOTW (that’s ‘question of the week’) is ‘Pointless experiments‘ and it’s hilarious – I’ve only ead 3 pages (slow morning…) and my nose is sore from laughing so hard coffee comes out of it. It’s Friday! 🙂 yay! Payday, half day, start of the weekend… I LOVE Fridays 🙂 Anyone fancy meeting me for a beer (or 20) later? Oh yeah, I posted a Youtube video that Rikaitch had […]
Read MoreBored…
I’m bored. Got some work to do, but not enough to see the day out…and so I’m surfing t’interweb looking for a new theme for my phone. As well as being bored – I need to get laid. Sigh. On a bright note – I won a trip to Milan for 2 people for 2 nights 🙂 PLUS a tour of the San Siro stadium 😀 That’s got to be the first thing I’ve won in ages – maybe the next thing’ll be the lotto tonight? If that’s so – drinks on me
