Definitely NOT Happiness

So the guy mentioned in my last blog post (ok so that was AGES ago) just rang me. My phone declined to play his specially uploaded ring tone! RUBBISH!

Is this not Happiness

A while ago i stumbled upon a website called the idler, this morning i was reminded of this...

I came up with two of them today.

Waking up at 06:30 and thinking it's time to get up and then realising you still have 45 minutes before your alarm goes off. Ah is this not happiness?

Setting the ringtone on your phone for the colleague that really really annoyed you yesterday to south park's "shut your fucking face uncle fucker." Ah is this not happiness?

I am also off to the peak district tomorrow for camping and hill walking, i have an extra day off work on top of the free ones and i am very much looking forward to it.

And having looked at the five day forecast i am feeling even happier.

Ah! Is this not happiness.

Why????

As previously mentioned the people i work for rent office space in a large building occupied by various other companies. The people that "own" the building are in my opinion a bit anal.

Outside the back door there is an "ashtray" it is metal, stands about half a metre tall and has a lock on it which they ACTUALLY KEEP LOCKED - why do you need to lock an ashtray? Who in their right mind would steal fag butts????

Long Time...

...No blog!

I haven't posted on here for nearly as long as I hadn't been to body combat for, I say hadn't, as I went last night and fuck me do I hurt today!

So New Year, New You and all that crap! I have decided to cut my caffeine consumption down, I was on about 6 cups of coffee a day and now i have three and if i feel the need for a hot drink after that I am on green tea. Whose idea was green tea? Does anyone ACTUALLY like it or do they just pretend? (OK Haze I know you drink it by choice, but you've just been brainwashed)

Also, why do we all fall for this New Year dieting/giving up smoking/drinking thing? Surely Christmas is all about eating shitloads of chocoloate and various other crap and by default, provided we go back to our pre christmas normality we are all going to lose weight anyway? It's all a con in an attempt to sell more newspapers, magazines and fitness videos! Although if you are planning to invest in a fitness video this year you could probably do worse than Max and Paddy's power of two!

Television

My friends moved house last weekend, they started on Friday morning and on saturday we popped over to give them a hand. All was going very well but they were having problems with their TV, the picture was incredibly fuzzy and the sound was crap, they thought that they were going to have to make repairs or buy a new aerial.

We went to see them again this saturday, I asked how they had got on with the TV. They were quite embarassed. Jon had been up into the loft to do the wiggling the aerial drill, you know, the one where someone stands and watches the tv while someone else plays with the aerial and shouts down the stairs "is it better now?" "How about now" Tracy's watching the TV, and says to jon "yes i think it's getting a bit better...."

Turns out it wasn't getting a bit better at all, it couldn't have been - it wasn't even attached... They'd plugged the out-lead from their TV into the sky dish belonging to the previous residents.

New Link

Check out the new link on the right... If you fancy a laugh visit "wicked" it is superb, be prepared for some rude words though - don't say i didn't warn you!

Book Crossing

I have just joined the international Book Crossing website. Alex, my other half heard a radio programme about it a while ago and has mentioned it a couple of times but today i actually got round to checking it out.

Basically the idea is that you join up (free), register one of your favourite books (best if you have two copies) print off a sticker with a Book Crossing ID on, stick it in and "release your book into the wild" you then "tell" the website where you have left it and people can search by country, county and town for books in their area and go hunting for them.

I think it is a great idea. If you think so too, check out the link.
