Book Review 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Most people outside the UK most likely wont know who Peter Kay is..well I'm here to tell you all about the comedian from Bolton, UK. He has written an autobiography of his life and people will be surprised to learn that its not your usual "..and this horrid thing happened in my life" or "I came to the end of the road and had to be picked up by...." Not that usual stuff (although I'm not saying those types of autobiographies are not worth reading. I've read a few in my time and enjoyed them as much as Peter Kay's book, and I own a few)Peter Kay centers more on the funny sides of his life. There are a few death stories mentioned but all are talked about in the happier times of that persons life or by talking about the Right Said Fred tune his dog died to. This autobiography kept me in laughs all the way through. He talks about all the jobs he was fired from, the reasons, the funny sides to all his jobs and how a lie on an application form for University finally helped him become the
3 weeks for blood results 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I don't know if anyone has ever had to wait 3 weeks to get blood test results
back (resluts and this is for Luna to laugh at) but that's what I've had to do. I had two blood samples taken on the 22nd Dec. One to test to see if I was anemic and the other was to test for PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). The anemic result came back the week after, which said I wasnt anemic. Which I kind of knew because I gave blood the week before and if I were anemic, then my iron count would have been spotted then. Today, as you all know, is the 8th January 2007 and so far today I've been on the phone to the doctors 4 times. I've complained and one woman I talked with has taken it upon herself to make damn sure that I find out the results today. I'm waiting for the doctor to call me as I type this.I've never had to wait this long to get any test result in my life. I suppose you could say this is typical of the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. I can understand that over the christmas pe
Doctor update 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A little update from my last post....The doctor finally called me and told me that they found a high level of a certain hormone and that they need to test my blood again and this time, there will be blood taken for about 5 other tests. I've got about another 3 week wait for those results. They said the results didnt come back conclusive that it is PCOS. That's why more tests are needed. Until then, they are putting me in contact with a specialist unit at the local hospital and I know what will happen. There will end up being a waiting list for this unit too. Probably about a month or 2. It's just typical!blog of everything Read more:Doctor
24 Season 6 Leaked episodes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It came to my attention a few days ago that 4 of the new episodes
of season 6 of 24 were leaked. That's when every 24 fan started going crazy and downloading them. For days Ive been upset that I couldnt download them. So today I went on the hunt for a website that would allow me to watch the episodes without having to download them (I also found a site that would allow me to watch Lost this way)...After much searching, I came across a site that answered all my prayers! For the past 4 hours, I've sat and watched the single most fucking amazing thing in this world. Take my word for it..this season of 24 is a must watch for anyone. Episode 4 is the best episode of 24 I have ever watched and I've watched them all! If that episode is anything to go by, then the rest of the season is going to beat everything they've ever made so far. I'm not going to link the site on here. For my own reasons and because I was asked not to but if anyone reading this wants the link to the website, then pl Read more:Season
REVENGE OF THE BLONDES 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The only problem with women is men.Women like the simple things in life - like men.Boys will be boys, but one day all girls will be women.When a woman makes a fool of a man, it's usually an improvement.Most men prefer looks to brains, because most men see better than they think.I only wanted to have a child, not marry one.The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing, then they marry him.What's the difference between men and pigs?Pigs don't turn into men when they're drunk.The average man is proof that women can take a joke.Boys will be boys, but men are better at it.What do you call a man who has lost 98% of his brain?A widower.They put one man on the moon.

The American Indian 1970-01-01 00:59:59 (I've updated this one)Barbara Walters was doing a 20/20 special on the American
Indians.She was interviewing Indians on a reservation, her escort was a brave with ONE feather in his head-dress. She asked him why he had only one feather. "Me only have one squaw, so me only have one feather" he answered.Feeling that he might be joking, she asked a brave who had FOUR feathers in his head-dress, and he replied "Me sleep with four squaws, that's why me have four feathers".Ms Walters was not convinced, so she asked the Chief, who had a head-dress full of feathers. The Chief proudly pounded his chest and said, "Me Chief! Me fuck 'em all - big, fat, short and tall, me fuck 'em all!"Horrified, Ms Walters exclaimed, "You ought to be hung!""You damn right me hung! Big like buffalo, long like snake." he retorted.Ms Walters cried, "You don't have to be hostile.""Hoss style, dog style, wolf style, me fuck 'em all!" he commented.With tears in her eyes, Ms Walters sobbed, "Oh dear."The Chief lo

Notice To All Staff Regarding Language 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It has been brought to our attention that some individuals have been using foul language during the execution of their duties. Due to complaints from some employees who are more easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.However, we do realise the importance of staff being able to express properly their feelings when communicating with other employees. With this in mind, the Communications and Planning Department has compiled a list of code phrase replacements so that the proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner without risking offense to our more sensitive co-workers.The old phrase will be in bold, the new phrase in italics.No fucking way - I'm fairly sure that's feasableYou're fucking kidding me - ReallyTell someone who gives a fuck - Have you run that by.....?No prick told me - I wasn't involved in this projectWho fucking cares - Are you sure that's a problem?Eat shit and die - You don't sayEat shit and die, motherfu Read more:Staff
Funny what you find... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was searching thru my books yesterday, looking for a jam and pickle recipe book that I'm sure I have, but I can't seem to find. Anyway, before the popularity of the Internet came about, amusing pictures and stories would be faxed around amongst friends, and I came upon some of these that I had saved and forgotten about. So I shall post them, I hope you get a good laugh out of them, some of them are probably still doing the rounds, so I apologise in advance if you've already seen them.

Brush up your English! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 FUCKOur most versatile word. By its stress and inflection it can describe many emotions. It can be used as a noun (I don't give a fuck), as an objective (It's fucked), as a verb in its transitive form (The game was fucked because of the weather), and in its intransitive form (Well, I'll be fucked), in the present tense (I'm fucked), in the past tense (I was fucked). Many everyday expressions show its true versatility.DENIAL: I didn't fucking do it.PERPLEXITY: I know fuck all about it.APATHY: Who gives a fuck.GREETINGS: How the fuck are you?RESIGNATION: Oh fuck it.DERISION: He fucks everything up.SUSPICION: Who the fuck are you?PANIC: Let's get the fuck out of here.DIRECTIONS: Fuck off.DISBELIEF: How the fuck did you do that?The word has been used throughout history by many famous people. Some of the more notable quotations are:What the fuck was that? The Mayor of HiroshimaLook at all those fucking Indians. General CusterWhere's the fucking water coming from?

Writers block 1970-01-01 00:59:59 6 times now I've deleted a post because I cant get the words typed out right. Reading it back, Ive hated every word. For days I've been thinking of something to post on the blog and for the life of me...I cant think of jack shit!I dont want to go down my usual route of bitching about my gran or my neighbours. I'd actually like to make a post that's worth while to the people reading. Something so interesting that people will leave comments about it and not just wait for the blog explosion count down to finish to get away from the unsightly posts I've posted in the past. Do muses come cheap?.....10 minutes have gone by and all I've done is stare at what I've just typed out...trying to think of what next to sayFUCK, SHIT, ASS, BITCH, WANK!!!!!No. That didnt help either...another 10 minutes has gone by. The only slightly none interesting thing I can type about it...listening to Rob play the guitar by means of the .wav files he's sending me. I'm looking at a very useless post and w Read more:Writers

Doctor visit: update 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today I went for more blood samples for my on-going testing for PCOS. I asked the nurse what my file said about my last set of results and she told me that I had a low level of the hormone SHBG (Sex hormone binding globulin) and the doctor wanted that tested again and also for other things. Once home, I went searching to see just what this hormone is and found that conditions with low SHBG include polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. I'm guessing that it's more than likely that I do have PCOS. What didnt help was me then reading more into the syndrome and seeing...heavy bleeding is also an early warning sign of endometrial cancer, for which women with PCOS are at higher risk...for the past few months, I've suffered from heavy bleeding. Like my mum said to me (while I was sobbing my heart out on the phone) is that it might never come to that or maybe I dont have PCOS and I'm reading too much into things. I guess I'll find out for sure in another 3 weeks time. No Read more:Doctor

Man and Baby poster 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Who would have thought that the above poster would have adorned 5 million walls since it's release in the 1980's. This poster was considered to cheesy to be art but in 2007 it's considered a collector's item, and yesterday a limited edition print from the posters original negative fetched £2,400 at auction. The poster that came to be considered the ideal of the "New Man" wasnt without it's share of lies, addiction and tragedy. What people didnt know about was that it was thought up by a gay guy, who later died of AIDS, was shot by a guy who ended up with a drug addiction due to the money he earned, and starred a guy who ended up sleeping with over 3,000 girls.The poster was created by the Athena chain of art shops after the company's art director, Paul Rodriguez, came up with the idea. The photographer, Spencer Rowell, took the pictures and it was shoot in London in 1986 and took all of 20 minutes to shoot. The model used was Adam Perry, who went on to become a highly sought sup
Celebrity Big Brother UK 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This past week has seen Celebrity
Big Brother
UK hit news headlines across the world. It's been talked about by politicians and the public because of the seemingly racist remarks made towards a housemate, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. It all started when some celebrities, Jade Goody (famous for appearing in Big Brother 3), Danielle Lloyd (a former Miss Great Britain), Jo O'Meara (former singer from the pop group S Club 7) and Jade's 'none celebrity in my eyes' boyfriend Jack Tweedy, started talking about Shilpa and making a joke out of her. Jade's mother (Jackiey) first brought it to a head by failing to pronounce Shilpa's name correctly and started called her "The Indian" and "Princess". Since then, things have gone downhill and Goody and Co have formed a group who seem to spend most of their time talking about Shilpa and mimicking her voice. Other housemates realise there's a problem and have done their best to try and calm things down. Some housemates have even been in te Read more:Celebrity Big Brother
Sleepless in the country 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's 2am right now and I cant sleep. I'm even typing worse than I normally do and that's saying something. It's a times like these that us Scottish people would say "My head is up my arse" I feel spaced out, seriously!I decided to have a look at the blog stats and was a little shocked and concerned at what I found. Under the 'keywords' section, someone had used "find a babysitter on myspace"....I have 2 questions about this find:-1)Who in their right mind would be looking for babysitters on myspace? Wouldnt they just use a phonebook, or word of mouth, to find one? I know I would! DOODS, don't use myspace to find babysitters. WTF?2) Why the hell were they directed here for that information?!??!!?!!?!?I feel that these 2 questions may never be answered with correct information. I thought I was seeing things through my 'head up my arse' moment. They were directed here by google. So now I'm on a mission to find out whats on google when those words are typed in. I don't think I'

2 Tales 2008-01-14 09:33:00 Well..if you would call them tales.I said I would come back and post about my time away in Glasgow, and show pictures of a tour I was booked to attend. Well, disaster struck on Wednesday. The powers that be decided to torture us with gale force winds in some parts of Scotland and it just so happened to be my town. We got on the bus on time but the winds kept blowing the bus door open while we were driving down the carriage way toward Dundee. What would normally take just about an hour took us about 2 hours, and upon reaching Dundee we were told the bus would need to be fixed. Skip ahead 10 minutes and we're being told we would have to wait until 11am for the next bus to Glasgow. Skip ahead again another 20 minutes and the bus to Glasgow hasn't arrived when it was suppose to (11am). After m Read more:Tales

Could be better.I'm finding it just as hard to think of posts for this year as I did for last year. Which means there could be endless pointless posts. I seem to be good at those (like this one!)OK. What to type about...I can't think of anything. Maybe because I'm too tired to think of anything. Yeah. That's probably it. So I'll end this and make a post later on in the week about my trip to Glasgow on Wednesday. Anyway..Bye ByeOH. I could leave you with a vid of me swearing to someone I know online.

He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.Jimmy had married a woman from Australia. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done and he had a huge dinner on the table.The third man had married a Scottish

Birthday + Halloween 2007-10-28 19:04:00 Whoever says that growing old can be a good thing should be shot at point blank range. Seriously! Yesterday (27th Oct) was my 29th birthday and although I had a really good day...it means I'm one year older and one year closer to hitting the half way mark in my life. Sucks, I tell ya. Birthday
s just aint the same like when you were a kid. I wish I had those days again. I mean who would really pass up the chance of living your childhood again? If you really think about it, and there was the option of knowing what you know now, you would do things a whole lot different. Just think of what you could achieve by making sure you paid better attention at school (like I wish), dating that guy/girl you lusted after...the list can be endless.

Think...THINK !! 2007-08-30 10:11:00 Isn't it annoying when you've been in your car, maybe listening to the radio because your cd player still hasnt been fitted yet, and you hear a song that sounds quite catchy and you think to yourself:"I need to get that downloaded! MEMO TO SELF..remember some of the lyrics to type into google because you'll most likely not remember the band or the song name"Just me then?! I've got that problem right now. I've heard a song on the radio and really wanted it downloaded. I've heard it over and over again and I assumed I would remember the lyrics...HOW WRONG WAS I? I've been sitting for about an hour trying to remember the lyrics. I know there's the word "shit" faded out so you don't hear it on the radio....and that's about all I remember. I'm listening to my local radio online in the hope that
80's Movie clips 2007-08-29 10:58:00 Seeing as I'm back posting I thought I would get the 80's movie clips up and going again. This week I've settled on Labyrinth from 1986.Starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly this movie was about a young Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) who is left home alone by her parents and has to babysit her little brother Toby. But the baby keeps crying and Sarah, while telling him a story to make him sleep, inadvertently conjures from a fantasy world the Goblin King (David Bowie) who steals the child and brings him to his castle in the middle of a labyrinth. Sarah has to rescue him before midnight, or the baby will became a goblin. Brilliant movie. I always wanted to be Sarah and I couldnt get enough of watching the movie on video. Below I've picked a clip of a song David Bowie sings in the movie. So h

and yet more camping.The Lonach kicked off on the 25th Aug at Bellabeg, Strathdon with the march of the clansmen (which I missed) and the rest of the day was even better than last year! It did rain but my sunburn shows that the sun came out. We headed off to set up camp on the Friday. With only 3 if us being there this year it didnt take long to get things set up and by 7pm we were all ready to get the BBQ going for some food-age. By 9pm we were starving because we had problems getting the BBQ going but all was not lost. Nod got his cooker going and then we were set. The Saturday was busy. With all the usual stalls and entertainment I felt right at home. For people's viewing pleasure I took a video of a Pipe Band playing for the crowd and as

Minneapolis Bridge Collapse Raw News Breaking 2007-08-02 16:58:00 This is just horrible. It happened during evening rush hour traffic. Over 50 cars/trucks tumbled into the water.There was a check done on the structure of the bridge two years, and it was determined that the bridge was structurally unstable yet no work was started on it after that and it has remained open. Then this happens. Over a quarter of the bridges in the US are considered structurally unstable. Why is nothing being done about them? Maybe now things will start changing, but it is tragic that the changes have to come after loss of lives. blog of everything Read more:Minneapolis

No hope ! 2007-07-22 11:20:00 These days I'm really starting to wonder why I want to go after things I want. Everything just comes back to bite me on the ass and it's seriously making me question why I've chosen these paths. The past few days I've been down about just about everything. Take today. It's come to my attention that my dream of being a good photographer might not be as reachable as I thought. When I was younger I could take killer photos. Everyone either wanted a copy of my pictures or couldnt stop talking about them. These days I'm lucky if I get one good photo out of all I've taken with my new camera. Is it me? Am I just not in the right frame of mind, or in the right mood to take good photos? Have I lost that edge I use to have? That ability to see what would make a good photo? or am I just moaning about
