The Next Richard Branson

Eh well maybe not but I am going to try and sell some of my DVDs on Ebay – you may go and admire Legally Blonde I doubt it’ll sell and thus I’ll lose some money but hey…live and learn baby – I have about 10 DVDs I want to put up.


Speaking of money – now that the git of a brother has a job (with the goddamned civil service I do believe) I shall hopefully be getting my money back! Whoop! -He’s also made up with the mother but I still think he’s a supreme arsehole


Also I may be in line for a bonus of (hopefully) £100 at work….well Id better be in line for it since I work my little (hahahahahahahaha) backside off and voluntarily take work from other desks – I may come across as a lazy cow (and in fact I am!) but I do hate having nothing to at work!


Speaking of work – one of my customers today on the phone said she (SHE SHE SHE not ME :P) was a “bad bitch” who talked “shit”...She was nearly 73 it wasn’t what I expected to hear! Not that I was offended and I suppose my Aunt who’s in her 70’s swears like a trooper….gave me something to grin about :)


Oh and also happily – the ‘rents are off on holiday tomorrow for a whole week…..B.L.I.S.S.!

Sure he’s not adopted

I am so angry at my git of a brother right now.

Not only didn’t he bother to tell my mum he’d (finally) got a job when she asked him (semi jokingly) if he didn’t tell her cause he didn’t like her he didn’t reply so she asked again and he still didn’t reply. So now she’ll all upset.

What a fucking asshole

Winter Sun - Dishwalla

I could hear you fall,
I could feel your body through the floor,
And all I see is the red of your blood for the first time
As i hold you there,
As i rush your pale life through the door,
I feel the heat rise up, from your shape in the cold light,

Will the winter sun keep us warm, in these cold times?
Will the winter sunlight keep you warm, untorn, untorn and alive?

See them hold you down,
Never felt them push me back to the wall,
Still i hear you cry terrified for the first time, first time

Will the winter sun keep us warm, in these cold times?
Will the winter sunlight keep you warm, untorn, untorn and alive? alive?

I would give my life to keep you safe, for a lifetime,
I would give my life to keep you safe, for a lifetime,
I would give my life to keep you safe, for a lifetime,

Will the winter sunlight keep you warm, untorn, untorn and alive?
Will the winter sunlight keep you warm, will it keep you warm, untorn, untorn and alive, untorn and alive?

Bum!

Hmmm lumpy potatoes, lump gravy, 5 day old dried peas and sausages grilled in the oven in their own fat….tasty!

Had a very strange dream on Saturday night…...basically I got kidnapped by an old guy who wanted me to clean his outside urinal. My friends turned up to save me in bus which nearly left without me when I went to say goodbye to the old man. I had to run after it, catch the door and swing myself onto the little ledge (I don’t think there normally is one) at the door, then bang on it to get the drivers attention.

Brite White

Went to the dentist today – I hate driving there it’s complicated and i’m an unconfident, crap driver.

I have really good gums apparently….

Yay!

an exercise in futility

Don’t get it, never got it, never will get it. Why I keep trying I’ll never know.

April 7th, 2005

Nuts to that I say!

Was watching some stupid programme on TMF the other night (TMF=The music factory which is on the freeview music channels and sometimes screens VH1 shows) about the most used music video gimmicks (or something to that effect). Anyhow one of the “gimmicks” was the so called”Jesus pose” where the artist stands with the arms wide. Just made me think how much christianity has brained washed whole cultures. Jesus pose my big fat arse. If the bible never existed you’d still get people standing with the arms wide open, unless there’s a cross or a crown of thorns involved it’s bugger all to do with Jesus. It’s the most vulnerable position you can be in – no defence oh and also welcoming since arms crossed means you are rejecting. The road i work on is a bit of a wind tunnel for some reason and everytime it gets up I want to walk down the street with my arms wide….it doesn’t mean I have a friggin jesus complex.

Stupid people.

The Kill List part 2

Adding to the list started on 1 March 05

  • Solicitors – they never reply to your letters and you have to write out reminders
  • Pensioners who are paid weekly and who either die to close to their pay day for us to recall the payment or whose relatives do not inform us of their death – bloody irritating!

    Scrambling, mumblings

    Hmmm Amazon said the Titan novel was out April 1st when I checked it yesterday, today it says 3rd May…..quite irritating!


    We’re hoping to get a bonus at work for generally being wonderful (there are more specific reasons but Id be here all day if I went into em). However instead of being given to everyone someone up the management level (presumably with a pole up their arse) only wants them given to “deserving” people. Now the whole bonus thing is supposed to be a morale booster (cause really there aren’t too many perks in the job and it isn’t one you can really love) and deciding who is “worthy” doesn’t really boost morale as divide staff. Wankers.

    Gasp, shock, horror!

    Wow the most unlikely thing in the world has just happened such a shock!
    Yes lets all be really sad about it cause being instrumental in the spread of a killer is such a good thing!

    Back 2,3,4, up 2,3,4

    I have come to the conclusion that my place of work has decided to secretly enforce an exercise regime. This is being done in two ways – malfunctioning lifts and repeated fire alarms. Now I work on the 11thfloor (there are 21) and I’m gonna wait for a lift to take me up regardless of how long it takes, but for a fire alarm we have to walk down the stairs. I reckon I must of been out 10 times since I started in July 03. Only 2 of these were actually fire related! The rest were drills, malfunctions and once someone deliberately /accidentally hit the alarm. So the bell rings and we all dutifully trot out and down the many many stairs and across the road to city hall. A nice little work out!

    Rejoice! I finally got my Dishwalla album from Amazon :D . They don’t have any lyrics in it though :( .


    And finally…...
    Today I shall be painting my nails – this colour



    In case you can’t tell it’s a bright, metallic pink colour :)

    Collide - Dishwalla

    When I came here there was more.
    Now I’ve come back to destroy,
    And I’ve got nothing left,
    And it’s a shame what we’ve become,
    When we hurt the ones we love,
    And it’s a place I can not go,
    Anymore.

    When we collide we lose ourselves.
    When we collide we break in two,
    And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
    It’s a hard mistake.
    When we collide,
    We break.

    When the cold comes crashing down,
    And the fight lost what it’s about.
    I could tell that you’d left.
    It’s a shame what we’ve become,
    When we hurt the ones we love.
    It’s a place I can not go,
    Anymore.

    When we collide we lose ourselves.
    When we collide we break in two,
    And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
    It’s a hard mistake.
    When we collide,
    When we collide.

    It’s a hard mistake,
    When we collide.

    It’s a mistake,
    When we collide we lose ourselves,
    When we collide we break in two,
    And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
    It’s a hard mistake,
    When we collide,
    When we collide.

    It’s a hard mistake,
    When we collide, we break,
    We break

    Word to the wise

    Unless you think the tacky look is good, less is most definitely more.

    My house, in the middle of my street

    Well not quite – ‘nother camera phone picture. This time of the lane on which I live, my house is the white one at the very end with the car outside (jobless git of a brother’s car) :) .

    At least it's not on an estate

    March 31st, 2005

    one thing further….

    Amazon.co.uk – where the hell is my cd which has a shipping date of 15-16 of March but has yet to be dispatched!?

    March 30th, 2005

    NNNUuuRRrAAgAAAAgGGgggGgGHHHHhhhhh!

    I just feel like repeatedly bitching of late…..

  • My leg is sore, actually it’s more like my groin is sore and no I’m not talking groin in a “snigger snigger” way I mean the damn muscle – course I did walk up 8 flights of stairs twice and down them 3 times today and frankly if you’ve seen me you’ll realise that it wasn’t a walk in the part.
  • I hate washing the dishes – can we get a damn electric dish washer already?
  • I hate washing the dishes after my dad has been cooking – why so many
    Why so many? because the man thinks he’s feeding some famine struck country thats why. I mean normal people would have lamb, baked potato and one kind of vegetable, but noooooooooo not our house. Lamb, baked potatoes (2) , sweetcorn, green beans and his stir fry (which is peppers, onions and oil), oh and I think he made him and my mum carrots as well….WHY?!
  • I hate having to type up stupid invoices at 9pm. The only reason they don’t ask my jobless git of a brother is purely out of habit of getting Kathryn to do it.
  • Speaking of jobless gits of brothers – i better get paid tomorrow cause I’ve only got £20 to my name. Oh and great mothers birthday April 20th, I can expect to be forking out for a present from “the both of us” and not actually get paid my half AGAIN. I have decided I’m telling him £250 and we’ll call it quits, but he better get a fecking job soon. Christ I was working part time and tescos and my mum was on my back constantly about getting a “proper” job. She needn’t think Im making her a coffee either, she knows I’m in a bad mood.
  • Oh and why in the name of god when you express no interest in having the lend of some stupid book, in fact you can blatantly say “no thank you!” does Peter still insist on lending it to you? Ashleigh needs to study for exams cause she wants to do a masters degree and needs to do well. he keeps asking if she’s read the books he’s lent her and when she says “no studying” he makes some stupid off the cuff comment about how you don’t need to study. It’s bloody annoying!


    I think that’s it for now….I think Im going to go pop some herbal sleeping pills n try and conk out.


    Here ends the mother of all rants…..


    As a total non sequitur (yeah – fuck you commenting on my “limited” vocabulary, you anally retentive halfwit) here’s a picture of Belfast City Hall taken with my camera phone

    Depressingly….

    I’ve had to go back to work :(

    Anyone who says stupid things like “Ohh I couldn’t wait to get back” deserves to be shot! The only reason I’m working is because I haven’t won the lottery…...you wait though….one day!

    Fortunately I think I might be able to make April a bit of a write off – 2 days off flexi leave (we work “flexi hours” which simply means that you have a 7 hrs 25 day you can start work any time from 7.30 am to 9.30am and finish any time after 15.30 any time you work over 7hrs 25 you add to your flexi and any less you take away you can’t go over 21hrs 45 or under minus 21 hours. You can take up to 3 days flexi leave in a month), a week off at the end of the month. ‘twill fly by :)

    March 29th, 2005

    WTF?

    Couple of things getting my goat…..

    I posted the lyrics of a chapess called Jem a few weeks ago, the song’s called “They” pretty good song. The video involves her stripping off in a space ship a la barbarella and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. In much the same way as Britney and Christina it seems to whore to the lowest common demoninator. Do guys (as that’s who naked females are undoubtably aimed at) really buy an album because the chick in the video was unclothed (after all you don’t normally get the video with the album)? I seriously doubt it. It’s just a bit of a let down to see someone lauded as the “next big (talented) thing” stripping off in her first video.

    Next…...

    Someone using the phrase “dripping with leftist queer political correctness” in regards to a trek episode is all right (although I don’t think it’s “all right” in regards to anything) but my wondering why “small minded fuckwits ” watch star trek is worthy of disparaging comment about the extent of my vocabulary. HELLO!?Sometimes I wonder about people on newsgroups.

    Whoop! Update

    ‘member by bitching about my CPU issues and thinking it fixed when I fiddled about with outlook express?

    As it turns out the real culprit (or at least another culprit) is something called guarddog.exe (the version under my username) which has something to do with McAfee.

    So if you’re having similar issues go to your task manage, go to processes, hit the cpu button, scroll to the bottom and see what exactly is taking up the most CPU space!
