Unachievable: Cameron Diaz, Ken Block, Guy Martin

Possibly achievable: our very own Trissle T. Hobbit, seeing as I have already blagged a days jollies with Gavalar and Marky Mark Ferguson.

Next?!

Now you mention it... New pair of gloves every day!

Got a letter from work saying I get a 5% pay rise as of next week and an early transfer to a jlr contract!

this old chestnut! I am now (happily) in the situation where the company supplies my work wear, (with my name sewed on!) and I only have to provide footwear, currently some Nike running shoes. Working inside really makes the difference!

While on the topic of tyres, blackcircles,com has just sorted me 4 Michelins for the Citroen for £221 fitted. Bargain.

Little jeffers. No injuries I hope?

I see you've gone all bare faced now so one must have got damn close, Alex?!! :ha ha!:

thankfully no injuries Tris, the woman on the other end of my 999 call asked "do you know what the person looks like?" and I said, "sorry, no- when they started shooting fireworks at me I started walking the other way!" I'm bare faced for the beginning of Movember, now trying my best to grow a moustache, not going well.

Steph and I had fireworks shot at us by some "yoof" so I dialled 999 for the riot van and we retreated to the pub for a restorative pint.. full marks to the boys in blue as the oiks weren't there an hour later!

worked 9 hours over night, just woken up and off to pick up some swiss francs ready for mine and steph's weekend jolly to Geneva!

City Link. didn't get my "next working day" delivery, and it didn't arrive the day after either! Oh and their depot is in Wigan. Tick Tock refund o'clock.

Fujifilm X10. Gorgeous camera, and a good deal, £280 for a refurbished model (regular £400) direct from Fuji, (inclusive of 12months warranty).

here's a photo of someone else's, mine doesn't arrive until tomorrow. Need to pick up a few things now, spare battery, SDHC, lens hood, case... the list goes on.

after probably 60 hours of solid rain, it's stopped.... and there's this glowing yellow disc in the sky that it hurts to look at, I'm not quite sure what it is though, probably one of those "not seen within living memory" things! Also, I've been at work for long enough to qualify for attendance bonus!

Get on the money, Alex. Do it while you're young and healthy mate. Same for lately but apart from the monumental UH c0ck up it doesn't seem much has been missed!

difficult to turn down the cash mate... i do miss people from here though, m'lord, seanykins, you trissle, the aunties, billiam bookbank, gavalar... to name but a few

finishing my normal working week with a 1530-0030 shift, then agreed to be in by 0800 tomorrow for a cheeky 6 hours at double pay... apologies for not being around here that much nowadays, i don't seem to have a lot of spare time any more!

just make sure that cows are the only things you make mummies!

recovering from last night. summer shutdown started at 1530 yesterday when i clocked off, then i drove home to change before walking back to the pub.

graduating!

aha, thanks Bill. I'm on 810LX whatever that is..

free cake at work to celebrate the range rover evoque's 1st birthday!

how do i know if i have the right tax code?

on today's annoyance agenda, in grown toe nail, great fun when you are on your feet all day just had it lifted and packed by mrs goon.

tax man took £180 off me from last weeks pay... git.

passed my technical certificate, application of number and communication skills with 95% in each. now most of the way through my apprenticeship. signed on the new flat last night. living the dream.

some Willy Face in a BMW 5 series GT driving into the back of my dads car at the traffic lights when he had my little sister in the car then blaming my dad "for being in the way". at a red light. berk.

first pay day at work!

just spent £1100 on 1 months rent as deposit and 1 months rent upfront on a flat with Steph. basic specifications, 1100 square foot in a converted georgian townhouse, large living room and kitchen with bathroom on the 2nd floor of the building, then up the stairs to large bedroom shower room and study. fully furnished to a high standard! very happy!
