Tuesday

Quiet day for posting, mostly because I'm doing this late and also because it's just Tuesday and it's busy at work. Grrr

Tomorrow's Burns night but as I'm not at home, no haggis. I shall have that on Thursday. With neeps and tatties. Possibly.

Met Benson from work, Charles Gray for a couple of swifties. Good to catch up and more importantly, borrow £20 as I is skint. Till tomorrow.

Much debate in my head as to whether to go home and cook or get a kebab on the way home. Decision made, see pic. Yummy













Home for some kebabage and Breaking Bad. Getting realy into this, quality.

Food; Kebab
Gripe; None today!
Game; Scramble With Friends

Ropey? Not half.

Getting too old for this shit. Feel like a bag of warm vomit. Oh hang on, I pretty much am a bad of warm vom. Mmm. Nice.
Have had a corker of a birthday weekend so I tell my liver to stop complaining, man up stupid organ.

Nice and busy at work today interspersed with some latency so all in all a canny Monday, just as well like as I ain't feeling too clever...

On a darker note, gave Rebecca some headache tablets at work. She's allergic to something of which there seems to be traces of in the garys... d'oh - off to l'opital. Hope she's ok, not heard from her since. Not my fault though.

Pint at the Five Swans on way home and much Skyrim banter.

Shattered so not much updating going on here, bath, Breaking Bad then bed.

Nytol.

Food; Curd on Toast. Veg soup. Bacon sanger.
Gripe; Nine.
Game; Pirate Fleet, it's like Battleships.

Happy New Yeah! Almost anyway

Oh. My. Head. Thankfully my wallet is heavier than I expected. Ended up up at the end of the night at the dogs for the 1st time ever! Well, I had a fiver left at the end.

It's almost Chinese New Year. This year, it's the year of the Dragon, my birth year. I is Dragonised!

Double booked myself today but managed to slot all three appointments in so for Goodwin, it was a win win win - John and I went for lunch and a couple of pints to the Five Swans - apparently named after the statue at the Civic.
Then took my iPhone to get fixed/replaced only for them to tell me it's outside it's warranty so they couldn't do anything - why the fuck couldn't some tool at Apple have checked the serial number before now and saved me trying to get to two appointments?! Fuckwitts.

Went to the Orange shop to see when my upgrade's due. It's only due now innit??
iPhone 4S on Wednesday methinks! Or do I? Maybe the Samsung Galaxy SII? Or maybe wait for the iPhone 5? Decisions...

Met Rebecca for coffee at Costa, mmm. Then went to go to Trillians but it was shut?!
Decided on The Valley Junction or whatever it's called and sat n chilled with a few beers, shooting shit. Good time, good giggles.

Home in 15 mins, why can't Stagecoach get me home this quick at 5.30?!

Bed. Nytol

Food; Bacon Sarnie.
Gripe; Apple.
Game; Scramble.

BIRTHDAY DAY!

Woke up and checks me phone to see the time. It's 8am. Cool, but I have an update screen on my iPhone saying I have 9 posts on my Faceache wall. wtf? Why have I had 9 people post on my wall?? Checks and remembered it's my birthday innit!

Class, I'm 36 and, has Andy D has pointed out, over mid way to 70... thanks man.



Awesome start to the day though. Chilling watching BBC shorts on weird things like Caterpillars cocooning cars & trees, plagues of mice and parasites that look like large woodlice that love tongues. All while eating Special K and drinking whiskey coffee Rebecca made for me! Class.

Listened to Linkin Park while supping rum. Doesn't look like too bad a day out there but happy prancing round in me keggs.
Talking about living with other people and Rebecca tells me a story about her shat flaring experiences - I think she meant flat sharing haha.

$3 back but the same price whether I pay to Haymarket in town or Brunswick Lane. Eh? The two stops are over 3 miles apart. Apparently it's because they're in the same zone.... That mean if I travel from town to work it's free because they're in the same zone??

Home, pissed. Clattered. Soused. Jumping round the flat, all rummed up, to some drum n bass on Hospital Records. And I Am Kloot. Mint.



Was sick. Must've been the dancing. Not the rum, no. Dad picks me up, in me flowery shirt no less. Yeah, just a shirt

Quick Rum at the 'rents then Heaton while scoring for $60 for me boithday. Class. That's me birthday night out sorted! Pretty much everyone of me mates has turned out for me birthday in Noire. Although I didn't mention it to Andy as I didn't think he'd want to come, I regret not asking him now! Grrrr


Shots of tequila and copious snakebites. I told me Mam that if you wanted to go out for a tab the rule in this pub was that you had to shout across the bar "TAAAB" - class. Cue me Mam shouting at randoms in the bar "taaaab" - hahahaha


Dixy Chicken for a quick couple of diet-chicken burgers with John. Not sure whether he's impressed or not. I love them, especially for a quid.










Taxis to the Dogs although as it was up to me and I got it wrong we got there late and missed the free pint and free food. Gutted. Bought a burger and had to take it back as it was burned and got proper evils off the wifey, she had a face like a slapped arse. Bitch

A good night at the dogs. John ended up minted. Steve and Kim did well too and I came out about a fiver up. Not sure about the 'rents.

Taxi back. I am clattered. Off to bed.

Nytol

Food; Special K. 2 x Dixy Chicken Diet Burgers. Beer.
Gripe; Burned burger
Game; Dog Racing. Scramble - loving Scramble like

Birthday Tea Day!

Happy Day of Awesomeness!

Tomorrow is my birthday and I is excited for 2 reasons;
One, I am off to Rebecca's for birthday tea tonight.
Two, I'm taking the Family to Newcastle Dogs tomorrow.

Stagecoach have out-done themselves because for 2 days, that's 2, yes 2 days in a row they've managed a bus on time from home to town. Decided to take the scenic route once I was in town and got the Metro to Regent Centre. Might do this more often, more choice of connecting bus there and more to look at! Not a particularly exciting update but hey ho.

We've had an update at work, we're now going to get our payslips, get this, BEFORE we get paid! Oh Em Gee. Not that it makes any difference to me, I'll still be skint... sad face

Busy at grrrr - no gripe as it helps the day go quicker, I think! however, t'is Friday. Geed-up!

$3 to get to Rebecca's from work, Christ how FAR is it!? But, nice pad, and whatever's for tea, smells lush.

No TV? We'll have to sort that one out - if only I'd not sold me 32 " Sharp Aquos... d'oh!

Awesome Carbonara and a half baked attempt at a drinking game while watching Withnail & I. I got scared mid way through and decided I couldn't keep up. Quality night though. Tree-mend-dosa!


Food; Mini Weetabix. Southern Fried Cheekan sarnies. Uber Carbonara. And blood orange pudding yumms.
Gripe; Not really a gripe but Benson's not well. Hope he's ok for tomorrow.
Game;

Birthday minus 1 Day

Happy Friday Eve people!

Orrrr, Happy Birthday to me Eve Eve!



Shit the bloody bath, Stagecoach have only gone and managed to get a bus to arrive ontime - the fuckwitts have actually managed to get me to town at the proper time, I may celebrate this today!!!


I also want to move to Brazil. There's a city there called Überlandia - simply fantastic. Or Uber. haha

I'm venturing oop-North to Rebecca's for tea tomorrow, tres excited for my birthday tea, yay! And Rum. And a shots drinking game while watching 'Withnail & I'. This is gonna be messy.












In the Metro paper today, anti-obesity campaigners are slamming Tesco for making chocolate slightly cheaper. Go do one, bloody PC extremists. It's utter idiots like this that's turning this country into a nanny state. Grrr

Next they'll be saying that Asda are in the wrong for selling cheap lager. Oh hang on, they already have. Knob-jockeys...

Anyhoo, busy but quality day at woik. Forgot me lunch so my awesome Dad dropped into work with some Quavers, lush ham sarnies and a BANANA! Awesome.

Missed my appointment at the Apple store this evening as Arriva, the other fuckwitted public transport providers, decided to have the 5.20 bus go early and the 5.30 bus turn up late - AND, as per usual now, took the wrong route out of work. Don't they teach the drivers the route they're supposed to be driving?? Makes common sense, you'd think anyway. So no fixy-me-iPhone today then. Grrr. Booked another for Sunday but I know I'm going to regret it as I'll no doubt get just a teensy bit shit-faced on Saturday....

Sausage, fries, cheesy beans for tea. Yummy!



Tea demolished, bath-time then Breaking Bad that I didn't get to watch last night as it was 11.45 when I went to put it on! haha

Nytol...


Food; Curdish Toast. Ham Sarnies. BANANA! Sausage, chips n beans.
Gripe; See above. Shit like that gets me seething. F'tards.
Game; Scramble With Friends. Deus Ex. Maybe Skyrim if i have time.

3 Days & (not) Counting

It's only fcukin Hump Day again already! Geed up!

Effing Stagecoach bus did a no-show on way to work this am. Turned up eventually but half way into town, we pass the bus that was supposed to be there earlier on!!
I'd been at the stop for 10 minutes!!!! Useless tw@s!
AND no Metro paper on the bus - double grrr grrr



iPhone broke today, went to Apple store to get replaced but nearly an hour to wait for an appointment at the Genius Bar so made another for tomorrow.

Skint today, not bad considering payday's not far off, so borrowed a tenner and got some bits n pieces in. Breed, meelsh and filter tips. Proper man's shop. haha

3 days from now I shall be 36. Doesn't feel too bad. Yet.
Looking forward to taking le famile et mon amis to le chiens on Saturday! Few drinks 1st in Noire probably.

Tell you what, living alone means there just aren't the hours in the day required to get everything done. Cleaning, dishes, cooking, bathing, Xbox, sleep etc. And that BEFORE I get into self flagellation etc! haha

Prepping tea, boiled tatties ready to mash. No masher. Borrowed one from Allan n Maz downstairs & got given a deep fat fryer! Awesome!
Proper kitchen gwan now like. Could do with a mortar and pestle, might add that to my birthday list. Mam n Dad are buying me some more stuffs for the kitchen, bathroom and getting me a carpet for the boudoir. Mint.













Tea demolished, was awesome. Stuffed now so going to start watching Breaking Bad.
Looks good!

Poker Night Pt2

Happy Hump Day Eve!

Tell you what, it's getting colder out there - as if you didn't know already ha ha
It's actually cold enough to freeze the balls right off a brass monkey!
Brrr

Quality day at work, spent most of it 'offline' - donated blood this afternoon for the 1st time in almost 2 years too. My haemoglobin level was sufficient for a donation today! Yaaay! I'd previously been told to drink orange juice or water etc with food instead of coffee or even worse, tea. Stops the absorption of iron into your blood.

Arm's knacking though. Sad face












Ducked out of a game of Poker to get muckle noms going on me scran.
Jumped right back onto the top tier table, the Treble Diamond table & stupidly answered my phone. Me Ma', chatting about duvets and pillows. Got distracted, booted off the top table and down to the Double Diamond table. Grrr. My bad, I shouldn't have answered my phone.
Managed to bluff my way back to the top - I rock.



Me poker avatar --->





Received Deus Ex in the post today, going to have to give this one a little time, played the 1st hour and although the story's great and the pace is good, the gameplay's a little slow and clunky. To be fair I've only played the tutorial level and then a quality cut scene welcomed me to the game proper. We'll see. Good thing about Boomerang is if I daint like it I send the game back & get another. Happy Face!

Might watch Sucker Punch on BluRay tonight, when this poker tourney's over.

Nytol

Food; Sugar Puffs. Turkey & Bacon Fricassee. Pork Chops, Chips n Cheesy-beans.

Brrr, how cold?!?!? ANY NEED??!!

Awesome, it's quiet at work today!

Another day closer to celebrating my 36th birthday, which is Saturday the 21st if you're interested.

Mam's turkey & bacon fricassee for lunch, I'd have to say it's one of my favourite dishes. Delish!

Had a corking weekend, mainly playing Full House Poker, although if you've been reading this blog, you'll no doubt already know - more tomorrow night at 8pm GMT.



Got a haggis from my Mam. Need to figure out what to have it with! Any ideas, please comment - although if I wait for someone to comment it'll have gone off so I shall ask my dear and very helpful friend, Google

No Deus Ex waiting for me when I got in. Gutted.

Decided I'm gonna sit down with a cuppa and watch Attack the Block on BluRay - it was brilliant! Would highly recommend. On a different keel to Shaun but shot really well and the character interaction is really well written. Bravo.

Need to earn some more cash before I can join the next Tournament on Full House Poker. Which I nearly couldn't play tonight, Xbox Live was having a hissy fit when I 1st put it on. Sorted now though, the chips are now down. Bring it!

Today's Food; Mini Weetabix. Fricassee. Nen tea.
Today's Gripe; How frickin' cold?! No need.
Today's Game; Words With Friends so far. Full House Poker

Sunday 15th Jan

Awesome night on Full House Poker last night on Xbox Live. Did quite well for my 1st tournament. Started at 8pm GMT and played through until 4am. Started off on table level 1 of 3, The Diamond Table then worked my way up to the Triple Diamond Table. At one point I was ranked 51 of 2500 people. Awesome!

Great fun! To be honest, didn't realise it was so late but time flies when you're having fun.

Had a bit of an awkward situation regarding the Toon match today. Got the tickets sorted a while back and originally had told Mike I'd take him. I took my Dad to the Swansea match last month (his 1st in a long time) and when we came out he was so excited said 'Eee, I love that me son's taken me to a football match, I can't WAIT for the QPR match in Jan! Eeee'

D'oh

I HAD told him I was taking Mike but was in such high spirits I left it and said nowt. Forgot all about it until the other by which time I was skint. Told Mike I couldn't make it and was about to tell Lee, who got me the ticket, when my Dad said I'll sort your beers n that out. Legend. Got to go to the match, eventually after Stagecoach managed to get a bus on (some passengers had waited over 40 minutes for a bus scheduled every 10 minutes. Useless to the extreme. To make make matters worse, the tool driving obviously had a full bus but decided to stop at each stop to tell passengers the bus was full and that he couldn't let any more on. THEY CAN SEE THE BUS IS FULL YOU HELMET, JUST KEEP DRIVING, THEY CAN SEE THE OTHER, EMPTY BUS BEHIND!!!!! Anyway, gripe over - we won!!! Geed up sausage!

Talking of food....



Mam's for Sunday lunch, lush beef etc with hods of yorkshires too and the whole dinner slavered with broon sarce. But not just any sarce, Chop. It's by far me fave broon sarce.







Back hyem now to chill, school night an all. Trying to decide between a film, Skyrim or Poker. Might try squeeze in all three. I'm good at squeezing things in... ;o)

Got a new addition to Maison De Spartacus, he's called Rangdo. Named after the Ruler of 'The Adventure Game' - gronda gronda, your majesty.










Off to chill before bed. May post later

Food; Nothing until Sunday Lunch.
Gripe; Stagecoach, yet again proving they're the most useless public transport providers.
Game; FOOTBALL! Poker. Words With Friends.

Saturday 14th Jan

Only had 3 pints and a can of lager last night and I'm not feeling too grand today. Sad face. Must've been a dodgy pint haha

Still, was good to catch up last night.

Easy day today, decided against shopping for kitchen and bathroom stuff and instead popped into town for an hour to get out of the house. Bloody bagpipe 'player' on Northumberland Street again but at least this time he's 'playing' a different 'tune'. Still bloody awful tho...

Decided to get the whole Star Wars Collection in HD today. Can't wait to have a marathon session with those! Maybe tomorrow after the Newcastle QPR match at St. James Park - Dad's paying for the drinks as I am pink-lint. I sorted the tickets though so I feel that's fair.




Started to play Skyrim then realised it was the Weekly Tournament on Xbox live playing Full House Poker. All in all it was a good night, at my peak about an hour in, I was ranked 51 of 2500 players online. Chuffed to bits!

Oh and I joined Boomerang Game Rentals yesterday, Battlefield 3 on it's merry way to mine as we speak. 4 squid per month and I can keep one game at a time as long as I like. Me likey!

Friday 13th Jan

Great start to Friday the 13th. Got up this mornin to make mesell a rollie and nada, nothing, no sausages. Or dice.
Was at the rents for tea last night & me Dad's chucked me backy in the bin...

Gripe of the day already; Women on the bus shouting as they can't hear one another. Because they've both got bloody ruddy great behemoth ear-muffs on! Grrr

On a better note, my Dad dropped me backy off at work. And fetched me a packet of tabs. Cheers fella!



He's obviously quite excited about one of the presents I got him, sorry, Santa got him, for Xmas.... I can tell because he keeps sending me pictures of him wearing his gym outfit with messages like 'I'm wearing this because my son bought it for me' - sarky bugger haha

I think he's rubbing my nose in it because I took a couple of things they got me, back to the shop... Jeans too small, can't wear leather watch straps and something else I canny remember.

Looks the bizz in his gym garb like, he's doing canny for (almost) 65!

Go Davey!


Dad's Shepherds Pie for lunch - awesome, cheese on too to top it off, excuse the pun!

Still no sign of any brownies like, one of my readers best come to my aid or I'm gonna starve! and I don't want THAT!

His Nibbs (John Noble for future reference) nabbed me post-graft & dragged me to the pub. Proper twisted me arm, little bugger. Went to Noire (Echo) - the Heaton Massive were all in-house, always good banter. Some in better states than others but always a pleasure (never a chore) seeing that lot. Was reminded of NYE, cheers Luke...



But where's Benson? :o(

Back to mine for tunes, beers (for me), tea (for John, driving. Aye) and talk of the coming zombie apocalypse and how to survive. I say he needs to play Dead Island. He says I need to read more books. I'm unsure who's write and who's wrong. (deliberate typo - sorry I had to explain that typo but I don't know whose reading this blog)

Just remembered I watched Rango, brilliant. Nuff said.

Ended the pub session with a conversation about prostate massaging... discuss

****Cannot tire of hearing 'Man With The Red Face' by Laurent Garnier. XoD ****

Thursday 12th Jan

Happy Weekend Eve Eve

Almost late for work again today as the conglomerate-of-utter-uselessness that is known as Arriva have decided, not unlike Stagecoach, to let their buses just turn up when they like. To make matters worse, the idiot drivers will turn up late, no excuses, just sit there with a face like a dogs arse then fcuk about with their Metro paper or something, then make a move, thus making us all late for work. Low-lives

Slightly quieter day at work today interspersed with Skyrim talk making me want to jump on when I get home and do some 'Rimming (as Stu eloquently puts it) I think he's just got a dirty mind... - young 'uns ey?















Remainder of last night's bolognese for lunch at work, was even better than it was last night! No bread though, sad face.








Still craving Rebecca's brownies, if you're reading this, get in the kitchen and MAKE ME SOME MORE! *women, know your place*


At me Ma's for tea tonight, Dad's cooking something he's not made before - it's a surprise apparently! Never a dull culinary moment at the 'rents!

Had this bizarre mixed bean soup, was really tasty, cheers fella! Good luck to the people I work with, I'm humming already! Sorry guys

Back at my lovely warm flat tonight, my lovely big tv and my own bed. Loving me new(ish) pad now like, really feels like home now. Need to start looking at decorating soon though! Going carpet shopping this weekend for the boudoir!


Shopping online tonight for pots, pans & other kitchen stuff. Also bathroom tings like a towel rack & toilet roll holder, exciting times at Maison De Spartacus!!

In from me Ma's totally stuffed. Decided against a film tonight and instead set my PC up in the lounge so I can use the laptop dans le boudoir.Up here for thinking *points at own head

PC all set up in the lounge, just need a nice monitor/tv & I'm sorted. And must remember to hook it up to the sound system. Bosh

Today's Food; Fruit Shortcake. Breadless Bolognese. Bean Soup
Today's Gripe; People on the Intranet's Marketplace at work putting 'Wanted' items in the 'Freecycle' section. Grrrr

Happy Hump Day

Was going to add a pic about Hump Day but you'll have seen 'em all haha

Busy, busy, busy at work today, not a gripe of the day but an observation.

Linking in with a previous post, my disease has now spread via my boss, their bairn and now his wife.... uh-ohhh. Oops. suppose that's what I get for coming into work when I'm not well. In future, if I wake up with even a sniffle, I'm stopping off.

I'm enjoying doing this blog. Even if nobody reads the bugger I've mainly done this as an online diary anyway, so anyone reading it is a bonus, hopefully for them too haha.

I had a bit read thru last night and I had a bit of a chuckle!

Craig-cam it ain't but we're getting somewhere close.

Busy days require drugs. By drugs I mean legal ones, obtainable from work. Coffee people, we're talking coffee. Problem is, by this time of day (4:15pm) I'm climbing the walls, too, much caffeine....



Sorry, just found myself lol at that pic ha ha ha

At a mate's for tea tonight, could get used to someone else cooking my tea for me. Unsure of what's being made for me but it'll be delish, as always.

Had bolognese for tea. And some bread.

Watched Rango, absolute cracker, loved it! Great nod to Fear & Loathing at the beginning of the film. In fact the whole film plays out a bit like an animated, trippy Hunter S Thompson escapade.

Watched Jonathon Woss & Tom Cruise interview then bed.

Thoisday tomorrow, whoop whoop - two days till the weekend!

See y'all on the flipside




Today's Food; Turst n curd. Breaded-ham sarnie. Bolognese & pain du garlic
Today's Gripe; I'm craving Rebecca's brownies now as Jill's been nommin' on brownies today. Grrr
Today's Game; Words With Friends

Tuesday 10th Jan

Stood between 2 charvas at the bus-stop this morning on my way to work. Both of them spitting on the floor of the bus-stop and they have the cheek to call me a dirty bastard for dropping me bait! Cheeky buggers

Admittedly it did hum a bit like hahaha - in your face charvas!


Dad still not well, has brontosaurus-itus or something. The Garys should graft tho.
Get well soon Big Fella. =oD

Bath then pork medallions, jacket tattie & cheesy-beans. Then Inbetweeners.
Should've kept the bubble-bath me Ma' got me for Xmas as I've had to resort to Fairy... fml

I know I will be downloading some tv today, looking at Shameless, Spaced, something like that - any other suggestions, to anyone reading, are most welcome.

Inbetweeners was brilliant. Off to bed content; great day at work and a nice bath, bait and film

Feel in particularly great spirits today! It might be because I've managed to shred that awful disease. But unloaded it onto someone else. I do feel slightly guilty because my boss at work was sick on Friday and now his little girl's not well....

Dammit

Was at a good friends tonight for tea, she made me Chorizo paella! Yummy!
Pre-food drink was a turbo-shandy, not had one of them bad boys for years! Reminds me of some messy times living in Jesmond!

A lethargic start to the day with brunch of bananas on toast sprinkled with sugar, of course, and a cuppa.
Apologies for the pic rotation, this blogsite won't allow me to change it grrrr

Was unsure of plans today but not heading over to Walker as my mate's decided to go furniture shopping! Been to Argos in town though as I always seem to have the urge/need to spend vouchers! Not paying their prices for video games... Nice to get out of the house though.

For tea, bacon sanger washed down with Douwe Egberts coffee mmm.

Bit of 'Band of Brothers' on Bluray then early night, school night and all.

Gripe of the day; Screaming kids on busses with parents that just let them scream... idiots

Saturday 7th Jan

Late night on Full House Poker on Xbox Live (must remember on to enter one of the community tournaments!) so a gentle start to the day is in order!

Mixed grill was yummy apart from that Bacon Grill stuff which just tastes of greasy ham. I'm lovin' the Schwartz Spice Rack I got from my Mam & Dad for Xmas!

Still gutted I'm allergic to eggs though :o(

Tidying my bedroom after the renovating I discovered a box of old flyers and tickets from my hedonistic clubbing days of the early thru to late 90s - nostalgia. Hopefully get a pic up of my fave.

John popped over at lunchtime for a couple of beers and a catchup because, he said 'I've nothing better to do' - nice to know I come in handy sometimes! Must admit I did chuckle at John for forgetting what he was talking about while delivering a story on how he remembers stuff. Genius

New Youtube App on Xbox is quality as it means I can play my music through my home theatre system which is handy when I have company - Youtube on, beers open, kick back and relax. Queue Chase & Status in deafening 5.1 - mint! *sorry neighbours*

Watched Jimmy Carr's 'Being Funny' and although a little near the knuckle, the man's a comedic genius - he was washed down with further beers.

Rounded the night off with Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox till 4am, still loving the Riot Shield class.

Nytol

Food today; Mixed grill.
Gripe of the day; Ran out of beer
Game of today; MW3

Nice easy(ish) day at work today as it's Friday!
I love my weekends, not because I don't like my job, I do, I just love being able to do whatever I want to do. But that's for tomorrow...

Found this awesome Pingu version of John Carpenter's The Thing

http://youtu.be/ToCq_c3wOM8

Mam's bought me some toilet roll, not sure if it's the right colour for my bathroom though - howay Mam, sort it out! haha

Created the location and became mayor of Skyrim on Foursquare, sad I know but I'm a bit simple like that sometimes! hahaha

Going to end the night with a little online poker on Full House Poker, on Xbox Live - great fun and I can play it lying on the sofa!

Gripe of the day; Can't have eggs, still allergic

I'm back at work today, feeling not 100% but enough to be able to work and not have to spend most of the day worrying if I'm going to have an accident at my desk!

Still dare not eat anything tho just to be sure - damn I'm hungry.

On a lighter note I'm currently beating Jamie from work on Words With Friends, someone who normally kicks my arse! Check out my Twitter feed on the right because when I beat him, I'll make sure the world (my followers at least) gets to know!

Watched The Fighter today, starring Christian Bale & Mark Wahlberg - awesome film. Christian Bale acted everyone else in the film, off the screen!

Friday tomorrow, yay! The start of the weekend I just hope I'm well enough to have a little drinky!
