A friend of mine said something rather profound to me the other day- well, not so much profound in what was said, but rather in what they meant. The simple statement was: "we've been doing this off and on for two years now- do you think maybe it's time to move on ( Read more... )

Well my poey cold got worse and so I took the day off work which would have been cool had I not actually been ill. Sigh. Nevertheless, had a lie in, took lots of drugs, watched Buffy- season three (well the one's I ain't seen yet), thrillingly counted out my spare copper collection to take to the bank, discovered I had twelve quid in 2ps (HURRAH), ( Read more... )

Ha! New Years resolutions my arse. Ok, so I am actually even less reliable at updating this fricking thing but ho hum. I can't decide if it's cos my life is so interesting that I don't have time or that its so dull that I don't want to share it. Its probably somewhere in the middle and stemming from apathy, but then that's a universal factor in ( Read more... )

Well after two days in a five-star hotel complete with swimming pool, jacuazzi, gym, sauna and steam room I am well and truly...smug. Met th esoon-to-be sisters in-laws who were all very cool, especially John who's Daves (sister's fiance's) brother and is the same age as me. Same sense of humour, same eclectic music tastes and same taste in women ( Read more... )

Man, is Christmas almost over so soon? I must be getting old but that just slid past. Off soon to briefly pop in on the gaff in Bristol to check all's well and the goldfish are happy..oh and drop off my flatmate. Then its two days in a Georgian manor house, The Puckrup Hilton no less (don't ask me, its in Tewkesbury though) to meet my sister's soon ( Read more... )

Right so I've just noticed that I seem to be posting one comment a fortnight and many of them begin: 'I haven't updated this damn thing for so long'. Sigh. Gone are the days where I was so bored and under-utilised at work that I could sly the odd posting or eight every day. In hindsight tho I think some of my postings must have been rather odd, but ( Read more... )

Hmmmm, so I went to the doctor this morning (hurrah, hour lie in!) cos, as anyone who's met me will know, I have this sinus thing going on: i.e. it's like I have a cold 24x7, 365 days a week. After a year of it being heinously bad I got fed up. In reflection, that was a hell of a long time to not sort it out, but hey, I'll gloss over that fact for ( Read more... )

Hmmmm, pensive mood today; been thinking about relationships. Not just ex's and stuff but people in general- friends, colleagues, acquaintances. The way old friends who you've barely spoken to for a year can suddenly have that friendship renewed because of a change of perspective or circumstances or geography ( Read more... )

This is a brief entry, though profound in its implications for those of you who know who I'm talking about, who have witnessed the chappies David Bellamy impression:

Steve has had a shave (muted fanfare)

Ah ha, super whippy work computers with permanent internet access and nice bandwidth. Hell, it uploads fast than I can type. Hooray! That and I'm getting paid to update my LJ, so that's a chuckle and a half ( Read more... )
