Furs Day

Shit the bath.

Both buses on time, got to work for 8.30! AND, get this, the coffee machine has milk in it!!! Will wonders never cease?!?! Although they may get cold, I might stock up now like someone preparing for worlds end.



What is it with lasses walking round town wearing those padded black, shiny jackets with pink stitching on the back saying "Paul's Boutique"??
Don't they realise it makes them look like they work at some cheap, tacky nail bar? Especially with their badly slapped on fake tan and that god-awful messy, lacquer infused 'bed-head' hair. Ha ha.. Fools!

Was supposed to be over at a mate's for tea c'est soir, not happening. I'm deffo stopping at mine tonight. Warm, cosy and I can't afford to be as tired for work as I was yesterday. No no no. No uncomfortable bed or sofa for me tonight!

Rents for lunch tomorrow, fricassee for tea so can't say no to that!

Steve sent an odd text again, grrr.
It's puzzling, I just wish he'd send me a text that made sense instead of cryptic messages - Steve, just text me what you want to say and stop fannying on! Ha ha

Anyhoo, nice n quiet at work today leaving more time to discuss Skyrim anecdotes and compare adventuring stories. Arrows, knees, sweetrolls, you know, the usual. Awesome. Stu catching up on some light(aircraft) reading at lunchtime!


Lunchtime of tabs and ham sangers. Mmmm, tabs ha ha.

Home, tea done in record time. As Belinda calls it, a slag of a tea. But it's my slag, and I was hungry. Filled a hole anyway. Oo-er. Laaaaaaaaaaaaa

Got hammered on BF3... I needed my usual squad with me, I can't go all COD and be Lone Shoulder here, it doesn't work - need to be a team. There's no 'I' in team, but there is 'me'. But me on my todd on a big map? I'm cannon fodder. I'm a sitting duck shaking like a shitting dog.
Poker time then? No online community tournaments on tonight so just jumped into a standard online tournament. And got turned over. To start with, but I'm on a roll me like! Went from owing the cashier $5000, I end up with +$60,000 - quit while I'm ahead.

Breaking Bad S2, ep2 was class. This is just getting better n better.

Nytol peeps - *finger up to lips* shhhh, but it's almost Friday. Heehee shhhhhh.

Food; Buttered Turst n Curd. Ham n cheese sangers. Fash Fingers, Cheesy Cheeps and Chesney Beans
Gripe; Odd texts that make feck-all sense. Bleurgh.
Game; Words. Battlefield3 and Full House Poker.

Hippy Hurmp-a-derp Day

Shattered, yawn.

Right. I'm stopping at mine during the week from now on. Couldn't get comfy in bed last night - so onto the sofa for me. Grrr. Wouldn't care too much, was relatively comfy & warm and I could have a tab if I wanted but her next door neighbours arguing, with their dog? Arguing, with their dog? Till 3am..... Weird Walker ey?

Bought some antacid tablets that are advertised as being for the relief of heartburn, indigestion and flatulence. Side effects, although not massively common are, heartburn and flatulence. What the frig are these people selling us?!?!?!?

Another top day at work, bolstered by that fact I think more people are starting read my blog - I feel loved! Kind of. haha



Was supposed to go to the rents today but as last night was a last minuter, I'd not been able to prepare for today properly either financially or cigaretterally. So, home James.

A little Battlefield3 online with he who shan't be named online. And a cheeky beer. Only stopped to make a chicken and pork chow mein. And watch the Toon match. we're winning as I type this - will amend later if we lose. We won. But you knew that didn't you?

Oh lord, now both my parents have touch-screen Samsung mobile phones. Christ. At least the text from my Mam had her name in it.
My Dad's 'new number text' was this "This is my new number" - he sent it to his entire phonebook.... *facepalm*











Some awesome funnage on Battlefield3 avec le garcon un-namable online (gonna stop with that, can't be arsed haha).
Love the way the team-work works on BF3, it's sublime. This officially, although frustrating and difficult to get used to, makes COD look like a right kipper. Still love COD like, love the franticness of the visceral fire-fights of COD but I adore the epic scale and scope of Battlefield. Storming an oil refinery in the desert in a tank, with your squad mate in with you while you cover your infantry squad mates planting a bomb all the while 'that music' from the TV advert booming through the surround sound is unparalleled I can tell you. McLoving this!

Anyhoo too late for Breaking Bad, off to bed. Nytol

Looking forward to a full nights sleep. I my own bed. Love me scratcher.


Food; Nen brekkie. Vanilla & choc-chip muffins. Wheat Crunchies. Chow Mein.
Gripe; Shucking Fattered.. *yawn*
Game; BF3. Fitbah

Choose Day

Today, I chose to wear the pants I had on yesterday that resulted in a torrent of verbal abuse. It was a choice I had and I took it. I am quite happy with my jeans and no amount of cheeky, witty remarks is going to stop me from wearing them! Ha ha ha



Had my monthly 1-to-1 today and, not wanting to tempt fate, seem to be doing well.
Looking forward to my interim APR so I can discuss what I've done well and tailor the second half of the year to ensure I get my bonus this year, I've missed it the last two... Sad face.



Tea at the 'rents tomorrow then a mate's on Thursday (possibly) so need to think up something for tea tonight - last nights was pretty good if I do say so myself but after the state my guts are in today, shant be having it again tonight!
A certain someone might say it was the offal, I'll say it probably because it was a week old...



No Poker Night tonight, or at least I don't think so - will update later. Fingers crossed I'm wrong. So, may jump back on Splinter Cell Conviction, Forza3, Far Cry 2 or even Battlefield now Mr. Shellard has invited me to join his lot! Awesome! I may learn somethin here!

Was going to watch Breaking Bad tonight - love where this is going. He's a proper bad ass now. LOVE IT!
But, quick change of plan and an early finish. Being treat to a Chinese courtesy of a mate..
Was delish, stuffed-to-bursting! Off to a mates now for a couple o cans n Bridesmaids. Might even watch a film ha ha ha... *face-palm*

Tea and film were great as was the company, she's crackers... hahaha

However, here's hoping I get a good nights sleep! ;o)

L8Rs



Food; Naked turst n curd. Turkey, swiss cheese and grilled courgette sarnie. Chinese everything.
Gripe; Me guts, ooff.

Happy Monday

Happy Monday Reader(s)

Albeit desperately broke and gutted to boot, actually had a mint weekend. Topped off with the acquisition of BF3 - the obtaining of described as such to avoid any further confusion and subsequent comments on Faceache ha ha. :oP

Anyhoo. Monday. Quiet? WTF?? not complaining.
Buses to work turned up on time and arrived on time - what's going on here?

Piss right royally ripped out of me for wearing my striped Diesel jeans. They're saying I look like Beetlejuice! At least they weren't overpriced Mr Tully - how much was that jumper in the sale, £145?? I'd be interested in how much it was when not in the sale!
I actually like 'em so IN YOUR FACE unbelievers! Rant over. :o)

Face on fire eating the remnants of last nights keebab. Arse on fire to follow.


Just said 'thanks mate' to the bus driver on the way home & got a funny remark. Sorry pet but you look like a dude.... ha ha

Missed Burns Night the other night so had haggis wrapped in bacon with creamy mustard mash. Mmmmmuckle noms!

Tried an hour on BF3 but I'm just not feeling it - getting some argumentative texts tonight which has put me off my game... bloody women. Pain in the feckin arse.

Decided to retread some old ground today and plumped for Forza3. Awesome but some pratt (me) must've decided to delete the original profile from my HDD so have to start again!!!! At least it's fun I suppose! Awesome, I have a Fiesta - and not the rag-mag with hanging readers-wives in, no.

Forgot just how good this is, dare I say better then it's younger brother? The music's awesome! Bring it on, just keep off the grass, it'll only slow you down. And is illegal. Ha ha

An hour on Forza3 then Episode 1 of Breaking Bad's season 2. Loving this.



Nytol




Food; Marmalard on Broon turst. Remnants of last nights keebab. Haggis wrapped in beer-can & creamy moo-tard mash.
Gripe; Other people(women). Restarting Forza3. Getting repeatedly done over & abused on BF3 so therefore not having a great time in Karkand.
Game; Forza3. Words with Friends.

Sunday, Sinday?

10am start. Mini Weetabix and a quick read-up of the Battlefield3 Guide for breakfast.
Decide on Skyrim after I spot GrimmyD on it. Controls are a little lethargic compared to the blistering pace of MW3 or BF3 but drop straight in doesn't take long. Like falling off a bike, apparently.



Now I've garnered 500+ picks, decide to deliver the Key to the Sepulchre.

Quick Daedric quest then 'Back to Karkand'. Loving the Support Class.

Just remembered John asked last night if I'd have liked to go to his for curry but for the same reason I didn't go to Benson's I didn't go to his. Kinda wished I had now.

Right, quick hour on BF3 then back to sorting the flat. Got the other lounge cupboard to empty before taking the doors off.

4 hours later and still in Tamriel. Not revisited Karkand yet. Need to go shopping for food. Needs to be done I suppose.
But not before John "I've got nothing better to do" Noble drags me to Osborn's 1st. I'm sure it was just because he wanted to meet Gutierez
Ha ha
Then supermarket via Ricci's. Love him. John that is, not Ricci. Hmmm
*scratches chin*

Watched the last two episodes of Breaking Bad. Class. Brilliant show! Then Star Wars Episode 1, not the best of the 6 but I like watching them in order.

Food; Mini Weetabix. Kebab. Raspberry sponge cake & custard.
Gripe; I'm still not fully competent on BF3, grrr
Game; see above

Saturday

Oooo me guts. Nice feeling, not a great end result...

Into town shopping for games. Tight month this one albeit short - kinda-mini-yay.

Not going anywhere today if can't sort some money out. Grrr.

Bought Battlefield 3 today, saying as I didn't get it for Xmas! Managed to get the special edition because someone had traded one in without opening it so I got it for 30 sheets instead of 50!

Was going to go to Bensons to watch the match with him and the Heaton cronies but I'm just stopping in with my new games - get the impression someone's not too chuffed judging by the last status update I spotted on another site. Funny how people act. Shame they have to be all sly about it and post it on Facebook...

C'est la vie.



Anyway, between the delights of both the 4s & BF3, Monkey's a happy, er, monkey.

BF3's class. Blows MW3 oot the watta in terms of graphical prowess and sound quality. Especially in full 5.1 - Christ does it sound good.
Map sizes are a little daunting to begin with but are easily learnt. What is going to take time to adapt to is the melee and frag reversal. Hmmm. The progression system too takes some getting used to too. All part of the fun and games though!

Off for more action ;oP

Food; Last nights Rumana remnants. Jam & strawberry pud and Ambrosia custard. Beer
Gripe; None.
Game; BF3 of course.

FRIDAY BLOODY FRIDAY!

It's only Friday again!

Lush sleep in my own bed, feel radiant and refreshed! And I've had a full nights sleep!

Excited for several reasons and not necassarilly in any order;

I have a new toy, an iPhone 4S - awesome
I'm out for tea tonight at a mate's.
I'm starting my decorating tomorrow.
I'm out for lunch and beers with John.

I'll no doubt have a proper faff about with the new toy this weekend and deliver a verdict later but for now all I can say is it's really good. REALLY good.

Adventure to Boots, pissed, for dry shampoo n Atkins Chocolate Bars. Electric bus to Walker. Comfy
Pint with he who shall not be named online & Benson @ 5 Swans!
Excited for Romana meal tonight!

PS Love iPhone 4s, really notice processing speed difference so therefore cheaper Internet!

Quick Blue Wicked then over to Rumana's - great company, awesome service and fantabulous food. Doggie bag for tea/supper/breakfast/lunch.

Early night due to knowing I'll not sleep well turned into a late one due to Rude Tube on't tellybox.

Looking forward to seeing John tomorrow. Been a while. Think we're going into town.

Nytol

Food; McCoys crips. Burger. Indian meal (all sorts)
Gripe; None. "I feel happy!" *Python quote
Game; Catch the pigeon.

Friday Eve

Tired & aching. Might need to start limiting my sleepovers at my mate's. Shame, as fun always had but can't sleep there properly. Too cold and I can't get away with the beds there. Christ it's cold there. And bloody uncomfortable.

Glad it's Thursday though. Buses ok, phew!

Relatively quietish day at woik, always a good thing!


**THESE AREN'T THE AN-DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR**


Ummed n arred about what to do with my phone and decided to upgrade to the iPhone 4s. Free so why not?

Spent about 2 hours fuckin a boot last setting it up, all part of the fun. Doesn't seem to be able to transfer contacts from my old phone so just used iCloud. Awesome, took about 15 mins

Nytol

Food; Sausage n blackpudding sarnie. Remainder of me kebab. Quavers
Gripe; Knackered
Game ; Facetime, not a game but great fun to play with.

Wednesday

Hump Day Arrives again! Yay!

I've started getting the bus into town then a Metro to Regent Centre to up my chances of getting a bus, seems to be paying off, albeit still hit & miss. I think I may become hit and miss with my payments to them, see how the incompetent fuckwitts like them apples! Talking of Apples, now I'm out of contract with my iPhone, I'm left with
a dilemma. Do I upgrade now and get the iPhone 4S or hang on till the 5 comes out. I'm certainly not plumping for the Samsung. I'm more than happy with the Apple products I have and the OS's they have.

Busy, busy, busy at work! Grrrr. Time flies so more of a rrrr.

**Massive Rant Alert;
I bought Official Xbox Magazine. Fuck me am I disappointed with it now!! I have Feb's issue and starting from the back like I do, the 1st problem is the Article they've done on Dead Island - it's been out since September last year and they're only doing an article on it now?! I continue on hoping for no more lunacy until I go a further 5 pages to find they've done an review on MW3's online multiplayer!!! WTF??? The game's been out 4 month (almost half a year) and they're only now looking at how it fairs online? They assess the games online longevity by showing us a graph depicting the excitement garnered from 0 - 60 minutes of online play - after 4 months, fuck me, they not been playing it like??
I go a further 2 pages to find a section called THE BEST VALUE GAMES. Great I though, I'm into saving money and getting some longevity out of my games. However, of the 15 games 'reviewed' they slag 6 of them off calling them boring, tiring, repetitive, uneventful, uncomfortable, and dull. Wha??? Why the Hell say they're 'best value' if they're just going to say, 'yes, they are terrible games but they'll take an age to get through'????? I'd rather stare at my TV while it's turned off and save myself the money.**

Rant over although I'll not be buying that shite again.

Left work, quick pint in the Five Swans with 'he who shall not be named online' and Pete. Who will. Hi Pete! (if he's reading this)

Then onto Heaton to pay my debts and have another couple of pints. 2 for 1. I'll have that!

At a mate's for tea & film tonight, watching Limitless. Couple of pints in Noire then a mixed kebab wrap for tea. Yummy. While waiting for tea, bought Xbox mag, see above rant!

Christ, it's cold here at my mate's - brrrrr. I remembered from last time and fetched my jumper and Fcuk cardigan. That's better.

Quite enjoyed Limitless. And my kebab. Kept some for lunch tomorrow - I'm gonna hum!


Food; Lincolnshire sausage, bacon and black pudding sanger. Kebab.
Gripe; See above!
Game; Words With Friends

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...

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.
Gripes; Arm is knacking. Still no warmer. Brrr.

Get in! Monday again! Love it.... :o/

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!









Food; Ham n cheese toastie. Pork chops. Turkey Fricassee.
Gripe; Downstairs' fucking dog, barking and whining ALL FUCKING DAY! Grrrrrrrr (that's me grrr'ing, not the dog)
Game; MW3 on Veteran & Skyrimming
