M.O.T & Car Tax

Jesus christ! I’ve just been sorting through the paperwork to do with my car and I’ve realised my M.O.T and road tax BOTH expire next month!

Not to worry I thought – till I looked up the price of an M.O.T these days, £50 bloody quid! – That is one hell of an expensive piece of paper!

So, if you need any proof that the government are shafting us, just look at the drivers. Give them a hug too (if your a girl) – no men please! – time to sell the dog…

80k

Well, apart from the usual shizzle, today was an uBer special occasion as my car became 80,000 miles old – the poor old thing eh? To celebrate the moment, I took a photograph…80k! Woo

I also was at the NE1 for a Quiz event, that was also uBer woo – but we came 3rd out of 4. Even better! Lots of wine and stuff though, and cracking burgers!

I’m tired now, I’ll update this a bit more tomorrow!

Sod All

Well, sod all to report on. Paid some bills, renewed my AA membership and sold a knitting machine on eBay – super belta eh?

I had a bit sort through my music collection, I was at over 12,500 but after reviewing it and removing a load of shite I’ll probably never play I am down to a respectable 10,331. The other 2100 or so are still there, but hidden 😀 meaning I can still search for shite should I wish to.
I got myself some new IT kit for NE1 FM too, some Cisco routers and shizzle – just need to start connectorising everything together and then we’ll be rocking.

Apart from that, job’s good, life’s good and I’m still working on stuff for NE1 FM. So, woo.

Mooooon

Boredom continued late last night during the moooooooooooon thingy, so I took some pictures with my McDigital camera – I really was bored!

Let me know what you think, I was quite pleased with them. (Takes anorak off)

Booooooooring

Christ today has been boring, had sweet bugger all to do. I paid lots of bills too! All £2.80 of my bill to BT, all £10.00 to Argos, and I broke the bank paying my credit card £40.00. – It’s been a tough ol’ day!

In all honesty though (not that the above is not honest) – I’ve done bugger all today. I was going to change the oil in my car, but I couldn’t be bothered. I did goto Halfords to look for a tool to make it a bit easier, but I couldn’t find one. So I broke the bank and bought some new windscreen wipers (I did need some!) – and that, my friends, is how exciting this weekend has been so far!

I nearly bought a Civic too, I came so close – but I’m going to put it off for 3 or 4 months and then have a crack at getting one – they are super cushty aren’t they?
That’s me for tonight then, off to do fook all again till bed-time…

Blackpool

Well what can you say, Blackpool is ornimentally shit in the winter, I came down for the weekend and christ it is boring as shite.

I’ve been off work since last Thursday, that would be the 15th to those who are not very good at going “Oh that would have been the 15th then – pretty long time ago!” – it has been amazingly shit and boring. Lots of Deal or No Deal (which quickly gets boring) & lots of Countdown, bed, being hot, and bed. I’ve been on more drugs then a season’d celeb lately and boy has it fcuked my eating up!

New Honda Civic

Well I went back to work today after 7-10 days off on the sick. Got back today and noticed a load of brand new Honda Civic’s outside reception – ohh was I impressed & I wanted a go. I’ve been thinking about getting one and luckily they were there for us to take out and have a shot of – what a car!

Being a dirty derv driver, I snubbed the 1.8 & 2.0 petrols and opted for the 2.2 diesel (there was a Type R there too but gay Honda insurance wouldn’t cover anyone under 25) – but I got my hands on a 3 door black 2.2 Type S.

What a car! – Got in and it was like being in a space ship! Everything was digital and there was buttons everywhere – brilliant. So after figuring out the push button start thingy-ma-jig I was off and let loose on the A19 – and whooosh – it was a fast begga. – Even Brian (my mate in the passenger seat) commented on the power, it was truely a lush car to drive and made me go 😀 – including the 3Dimensional digital display/speedo/rev counter thingy.

So, now to get saving for a new Civic! – Buy one, their ‘bo!

Big Issue!

So I found some old vouchers today when I was going through my stuff, £30 quids worth of them so I thought sod it, I’m off to spend em’. Sped off into town and parked next to Nobbie Solano, charming guy – he’s having a party at a place just beside For Your Eyes Only. He’s got a nice Merc, got to have cost a small fortune.

Anywhoo, I left for HMV and proceeded to collect my Big Bottom Box, there’s zillions of DVD’s inside of Bottom Live, and Bottoms’ Guest House Paradiso. As I left I noticed a Big Issue seller on Northumberland Street, he was really friendly and looked worn out and tired. I expected the usual “Big Issue” rammed in my face, but he said “Would you like to buy a Big Issue sir?” – I was quite taken by it, and felt sorry. So I bought one 🙂 – he then proceeded to say “Have a lovely night sir” – to which I was immensely impressed that he could still be so nice even in his situation.

The magazine just talked about detoxing and had millions of adverts – but I felt happy to have contributed and maybe to have bought him a burger or cup of tea for the night. I may do it a tad more often, I just thought I’d mention that, now I’m off to watch my Big Bottom Box!

Goodbye!

All over

Well there goes, a whole load of hype toward Christmas. Everyone saying what they want, it doesn’t have the same feel to it. Now it just means debt and trying to not be outdone. Everyone has expectations on what you’re getting them, wether it is too small, not expensive enough or something like that. I couldn’t give a monkeys – I’d be happy giving nowt and getting nowt!

In other news, I spent Christmas over and down in Blackpool. A grim dark place, freezing, stormy and crap. That was just the weather. Christmas day was good, had a good laugh with the family, got loads of socks and all the stuff you normally get – all good in my opinion. Christmas night some chav scum tried to break into the house while I was watching telly – put short work to him and let the Police do the rest. He was smashed off his face.

New Year is nearly here, I’m not doing anything – not wanting to go out and waste money on drink, I’ll stay in and get smashed on the Christmas alcohol I was given, might even do something entertaining. I applied for a Programme Directors job today also – not saying where but it is a big place, if I get it – I’ll let you know.

I also did some checking last night, I have an image on my website of Jesus on a cross, with Happy Christmas strewn between his arms – thousands of people are leeching it and putting it on their website. It’s time the Goatse replacement came out – I’ll be sure to replace it on the same filename and screenshot the unsuspecting websites!

Bloggety Blog

Time to update this again.

Lately I’ve been making bread, it rocks – the whole house smells of fresh cooked bread and it’s lovely. The plan is to set the timers properly so that I wake upto the smell of super fresh bread.

Bread makers rock!

Christmas prep is just about done, all has been super and I’ve again made everyone jelous with my super duper wrapping skills. I’ve even wrapped up some cheese (pics to come up soon!) – they really are done with loving bla bla.

I’ll be off to Blackpool on Sunday for Crimbo. Another 300 miles on my car when I get back – woo, the value will be plummeting! I bought the car with 48,000 miles and I’m already at 76,000. Well more close to 77,000. It does knock you sick a bit when you think of how much of your wages are burnt in the car!

Apart from that, all is going good. Work is good, I’m passed the probation now and I’m still there so I’m doing something right. I’ve been out tonight at Nikita’s 21st, t’was rocking but I came away early. Bad head, too much work and all that but I’m just chilling out now, just sorted more music out -it’ll be great to get it all loaded in when we kick up NE1fm.

I’ve got the pleasure of having a lie-in tomorrow morning! I’ve been doing IT cover work lately so it means I’ve had to be on the ball from 8am – it isn’t easy! Well, I’ll update this again tomorrow most likely, tis a good way to remember things – my memory has tanked recently!

Bills, Bills & More Bills!

It’s been a little while since I updated this.

Not much has happened…I’ve had my car crashed into at work – that is the most important thing on my mind at the moment. They’ve hit my front wing on my drivers side and dented and scratched it all in. The most annoying thing is that they have driven off and not admitted it. I’ll have to get it repaired after christmas!

Bills, yes – that’s the title of this post. I’m sick of bills! I’ve just paid BT £95 quid to get them off my back. I need to pay my credit card bill (I’ll just give them the minimum payment this month) – and I need to pay one of my other cards off. I’m skint as a bugger! – & it’s only the 8th! – but best be paid!

Work is good, there’s been some redundancy’s recently though which means we’ve lost all of the best lads on the Kerridge team (the whole team!) – their really hacked off which you can expect, but their laughing and joking about it and we feel bad because we’ve been kept on.

From what I understand, I’ll be playing a more important role in the enlarged group. We’ll have to see how things go, but it looks exciting!Back to work tomorrow at 9:30am – off in Friday though! Must go and see Borat soon too!

Banana’s & Stuff

Just a quick one tonight… did you know that putting Banana’s in the fridge makes them go black?

I didn’t – I do now.

Also, did you know Asda do bat shaped shortbread – which is amazing! And finally – did you know Asda also sell toffee crisp doughnuts!

My life is complete… in other news, I took the new Corsa out for a spin today to see if I like them. I was very impressed with the quality of them compared to the new one and had them look at a deal for me. Can’t go into specifics as it’s a staff deal, but I’d have my Golf paid off – have a shedload of stuff thrown in, get a load of stuff cheap – and save £3k. That’s all I’m saying! – Just need to order a new driving licence now – I’ve lost my old one.

Long time no see

It’s been a while since I last updated this hasn’t it!

Lately I’ve been moving around a lot. I left my house, and moved to my dad’s – I then left there 2 days later and moved in with my nana. I’m now happily living here and continuing my work on at Reg Vardy.

Heard today someone has been very naughty at one of our dealerships – taking an Astra VXR out and doing 117mph in a 40mph zone. Big arse kicking on the cards there.

Tomorrow I’m off to test drive the new Corsa, I think they look just like a mini Astra and need to cut my costs back and save some dosh – hense I’m going to look at one. (The 125bhp 1.7 derv of course!)

Apart from that, work is quiet, life is quiet – and it’s quiet at the moment. Might just leave it at that.

Ironing

Well after living on my own for nearly 2 months today was the first time I have had to iron. I’ve relied on the dryer in the past as it kind of looks ironed although it isn’t – but looks done if you get me.

So I started with my first shirt, ironed it all and hung it on the hanger and it looked crap, it was still as bad as it was when I started out. Then I remembered something about putting water in it or something to make it work better. Only then did I realise (after putting in the water) how good they actually work!

So there’s my advice for today – put water in your iron to make it work.

Fare Thee Well

This Myspace is crazy, not only do I have the JLC as a friend now, but I also a dude who looks like Jesus, some crazy bloke who is off his nut, and someone who leaves their results on a train.
Today at work was interesting, I had the pleasure of loading over 25 kilos of stuff to send after another exciting week on eBay. Made over £200! So it was fun when the DHL man turned up and we had to lug it all out… the paperwork was immense.

I also took the time to read the insurance policy for the company cars at work. After much – rereading, and then reading again, it turns out people forgot to mention to me and my boss that you now have to be 21+ to drive one. Hense now I best be safe and not use the car for 2 months at work. Won’t be too hard though. Still got the trusty VeeDub Golf.

All hell broke loose this afternoon at work, firstly the internet went down so everyone was bored senseless. Then one of the Kerridge adminstrators (Kerridge is the software we sell cars through) decided to send ‘KNOBETTE’ in a message over that system to his friend. Little did he know a good 5 or 6 thousand people also read it, some of the big bosses wern’t amused! So I think he will get his arse kicked. I was creased laughing.

Well such is life, I’m off to Blackpool tomorrow to see the family with a mate so it should be a good weekend. Off Monday too! Paid of course – can’t get better can it?
