beer...it's what's for dinner!
i'm rapidly running out of decent things to eat in my flat, mainly because i'm getting rid of everything that i've got so that when i move out i'm not taking a shed load of food with me, that and i've not got any money to buy any more food until friday, but at least i've got some beers in the place :)
i've been doing very little this week, very little indeed
although i was pretty late for work on tuesday, a whopping 90 minutes, i couldn't help it i just plain slept through my alarms. speaking of work i've been asked to write the company Health & Safety manual and policy...responsibility or what!!!??? still it'l lbe good to get them to realise that i can do things that they might not think i can do
i've been feeling pretty weird the last couple of days, at work i've been fine, we've been really busy so i've not had much time to think about much while i've been at work and the last few nights i've been out and about, visiting people and drinking. but tonight i just feel as though there's something wrong and i can't put my finger on it, i'm just feeling a bit weird. kinda alone i guess
i've been blogging on he other sites i've got running a little as well recently, it's given me something else to do, although the other posts haven't been all that much to be honest
heh heh something i have been doing is watching my living dead films ready for when i can get to the cinema to see land of the dead...it's got to be done...i've been waiting all summer for it to be released and now it has i've got n money to see it, well not until this weekend anyway :D
when i grow up i want to be in a zombie film
there's so much i could say about now, but i have no idea what i want to say anymore, i'm just so tired at the moment
think i'm going to head to the bath and try not to fall asleep in it again, like i did on saturday!!
finished my book the other day will post a review when i get round to it, might be tomorrow depends on work...going to have to read something i've read before now...ah well such is life
oh
by the way roxi...german beer hangovers are easy...i was in germany for a month earlier this year and i'll happily drink many many beers and not suffer much in the morning...proper beers to, from the litre size stein...it was ALL good :)
anyway bathtime is calling
laters peeps

something new?
but i have nothing to say
it's too early on a saturday morning for me to be thinking about something new to post about
besides i'm trying to think of a witty and cutting comeback for pp on the other blog and it's just not working for me
supposed to be moving things today, but alas, plans changed last night while out and now i'm stuck moving things on my own again...which to be honest i prefer, because there's less hassle of telling people what's supposed to be where and all that kinda junk...besides some of this shit needs to go into storage
btw roxi...i did a few of the things on your site...
apparently i'm "tin man's johnson silver" as a rejected crayon
i'm an "expert kisser" but that's only according to the thing
the underwear oracle had me spot on
and my porn star name is larry loverod
i'm hungry and i want some breakfast, but i used all the bacon and eggs yesterday and the day before, and that only really leave toast for breakfast this morning and i don't really want toast, i wanted a bacon buttie :(
anyway i'm struggling with things to say now so i'm going to cut an run
take care peeps

stupid thing didn't work
bugger it

laughing all the way
not sure why i'm laughing, or where i'm going, but it might have something to do with listening to running with scissors by weird al yankovic on the way to work today...
so this is 201
it's not going to be very interesting though
been stuck in traffic most of the week
and there has been a shed load of army vehicles on the road, last week there was a convoy of lorries, 12 in total, some with trailers, some with out, all doing about 45-50 on the a34...causing the traffic to back up something chronic, yesterday it was motorbikes, and this morning it was tanks...how bizarre is that? not sure where they were all going because they were heading in different directions, but heading towards the likely suspect of abingdon
got a big offer quote out on monday, it was big, over half a million again and that was just the furniture...but that's also why i've not had chance to cyber-slack or blog recently, got another project on the go at the moment, fairly small and pretty easy, i'm just waiting for a pile of prices to come through from the delightful people in germany, although i've just priced some sinks up this morning and they've come out as being pretty expensive!!! yesterday it was the taps that were high cost, today it't the sinks...
in other news, i've had various visitors this week and last, including vic and aisha who popped in the other evening on a flying visit so i could give them aisha's birthday card, and dk who popped in last night, after getting lost twice on her way back from swansea, just another flying visit, but it was cool to see her for an hour as i've not seen her for over a year!
other than that things have been pretty quiet, i had a bit of a cold most of last week, but didn't feel that ill that i'd take the day off, but i was ill enough not to make it to offspring gig, was disappointed about that, but i made it all the way to luton, then after sitting in luton's sitting room with her for a while, i decided that i was going to try and get home as i was running a fever and had a thumping head, neck and backache which wasn't cool!
think that's pretty much it though, so take care peeps

THIS IS POST NUMBER 200!!!!!!!!
i'm going to take my time over this post, it's not that i've got a lot to say, although i probably will end up saying loads, but i want to make sure that i get everything down on "paper"

i can't actually remember when i last posted, think it was thursday, how bad is that?!

well since thursday i've not been feeling too great, saturday i hardly ate anything, same sunday and yesterday, been feeling as though i'll throw up if i do, although yesterday i did go for a curry, managed to eat 2/3 of it, but that was pretty much all i ate yesterday.

lemme see
what exciting things have i been up to
well sunday morning i had an audition in London for a new tv game show called Deal Or No Deal, it was pretty cool and if i get to go on it i could win up to £250,000, which would get me a nice house and a dodge viper :) how cool would that be!?!?!
during the audition i had to do a 30 second piece to camera...great fun...so i stood there and said "i'm pete and i'm tall and that's about it, i;m heavily into music and films...basically what you see is what you get." which illicited the question "does being tall give you delusions of grandeur?" my response was great and totally off the top of my head " no...everybody already knows i'm great" much laughing was done and that was it my 30 seconds in the spot light were over...i think i may have made an inpression with the last comment
the only bad thing about it was that i had to be in central london for 9.30 on a sunday morning and yes that time really does exist!

luton's been busy the last few days with work, but she's off all week and she's taking me to see Offspring at the weekend, so that's cool, i'm looking forward to that, so's she. nd i'm looking forward to here cooking me dinner sometime soon

THIS IS MY 200TH POST CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? i didn't think it'd make it past about 20! so i wanna thank everyone who reads this thing, i wanna thank everyone who's commented on it and i wanna thank everyone who has given me something to write about. as for starting it, i blame woja as he got me started on it when i read his many moons ago now...

and although i have 3 blogs now, the latest being a new one which hasn't had anything done to it yet because i'm waiting for pp to link herself into it...this one will remain my blog and will have some of the random and personal stuff in it, the storys will continue to be sporadic and when i feel like it and the new one will be completely random stuff that's going to bounce either side of the pond

anyway
there's not much i can think of to say at the moment because my brain has turned to jelly and is dribbling out my ears
take care peeps
Px (NOT Pixy...please take note pp)

ok, this is supposed to be the something new...
...but seeing as it's half 10 and i've only just got in from work, admittedly we finished at 6 and went for a couple of pints and a curry, i'm shattered and i want my bed
there is so much that i want to tell though, about the weekend and everything, i'll post it all tomorrow, and i know that it sounds like i'm putting it off...that's because i am!

i can't think of a witty title, so this will have to do
i'm tired, i shouldn't be, but i am, well, i suppose technically i should be tired seeing as i think i only got about 5 hours sleep, which obviously wasn't good...
work has been a bit odd... i can sit here for ages not doing anything, not because i don't want to, but because i can't, then all of a sudden everything comes in at once and i'm flooded with it again.
for some reason i've been having a few bad days this week and although i think it's down to a mix of being over tired and work is getting a little irritating, i can't think of anything else which would contribute to it
my car decided that it would lock the stereo this morning...that was great, i put the key in, the stereo started, when i turned the ignition, the stereo read "radio locked" brilliant! that means i need to take it over to the garage i got it from, but there's the problem seeing as the "fitters only work monday to friday" and i only work monday to friday, i can't get the car there, especially as they don't have a courtesy car...brilliant, so i'm face with driving around with no tunes for a while or having to bunk off work to try and get the car over to the garage and get the stereo sorted...i know which option i'd choose, but bunking off work is harder than it should be
driving home last night i realised that i now drive to work without really paying much attention to the road and more attention to the other vehicle on the road, and although this sounds ideal, i'm actually referring to the fact that i'm starting to recognise other cars on the road as having seen them the previous day on roughly the same bit of road, example, i pass a Norbert Dentressengle lorry every day on the A34 between abingdon and didcot on the way home, now although i'm pretty sure it's not the same lorry, it's kinda freaky that i pass one every day on the same section of road. for those who don't know, Norbert Dentressengle are a logistics firm that roll around in big red lorries with white writing on them. there's a car i see every few days on the road, there's another lorry firm that i usually see, although this morning i saw a van not a lorry... i usually people watch while i'm driving too, this morning i saw someone putting on their make-up in the car, it's ok we were in a stationary line of traffic when she started, but then we started moving and she was still doing it... there was a nice looking woman the other day with her finger stuck up her nose, that made me chuckle, i have nothing against nose pickers, but to see someone doing it while stuck in traffic and totally oblivious to the fact that everyone else around her was watching...makes me laugh. there are the people who sing along with what ever they are listening to (oh how i envied them this morning) some do it softly, others are really giving to some, there seems to be no happy medium... i do it sometimes, and i do it sometimes when i have people in the car with me, that can be embarressing when you're singing to something cheesy or totally out of character to your persona. it makes me laugh when people realise that they're being watched while singing and try to pretend they weren't doing it, the ingenious ways they come up with is funny, one pretended to swap his "phone" to the other ear last week to i could he was actually talking on it, but seeing as he didn't actually have his hand to his other ear in the first place i couldn't help but laugh.
just realised i'm talking balls again so i'm going to go back to my little quote that i'm working on and see if i can finish off the packet of Haribo sweets i've just pulled out of my secret stash draw before anyone else pinches one
take it easy peeps

big time bad mood

just feeling a little pee'd off today...
i say a little, i mean a lot
and i don't know why
anyway my heads not really into the whole blogging thing too much today so i'm just going to prattle on about something or other and see where the random stream takes me

i've turned into a bit of a phantom comment leaver type person at the moment...i keep clicking on the "next blog" button and reading things and from there i sometimes leave a comment and other times i don't...and if i really like the blog i go back and look again, and maybe leave another comment...it's all good though

there are a few people at the moment who have a lot to answer for...
woja...for sending me a link to a stupid burger game which i get stuck on level 4, that's if i make it to level 4 that is...once i managed to get to level 5...but it was way too scary and i ended up dying very quickly
Evel...for getting me into Su Doku...number are now evil

am really bored again today at work, sometimes i wonder why i do this job, other times i realise without it i wouldn't have so much time to surf the internet :) although i definately need more money so i might have to take a second job, not sure what though...suggestions please?

just had my lunch...smoked salmon sandwich and then a cheese and bacon one as well, think i preferred the latter one, not sure why though... still hungry though, might have to head off and raid the local shop for more food at this rate...

apparently the lunch time hacky sack session is calling for me...i'll be back

right that's the post lunch session out of the way...spanish wanted to name all the different kicks that we use, but no-one could actually be that bothered to do it...and everytime we got a double and were heading for the triple someone would say "that's the double" (usually spanish) and then we'd fluff it before we made the next full loop

the 34 effing fume cupboards are being changed again so i'm stuck not being able to work on them...which is fine with me at the moment, but seeing as i've got 4 days before the quote is due, i hope that the problems get sorted out...

i'm so bored at the moment

and i've got a headache coming on now too
great :(

still not sure what i'm pee'd off about, but i feel better now after the lunchtime hack...bizarre huh!

right to clarify...bobbins means "of no conceivable use" from the ever useful woja, so i hope that helps you linny...ain't english great?

i guess i should get back to work, but i still have nothing to do...ho-hum
guess i could go back to randomly reading other peoples blogs and leaving little comments on them

laters peeps, take care now

be realistic
i put my old car stereo on ebay last weekend, hoping to make a few quid off it...i got it for £200, i was hoping for something between £100 and £125...
the auction finished about half hour ago with the total reaching the lofty sum of £70.84, i know i said it was a bargain deaal for the stereo...it was originally around worth £330 as new, so when i logged in yesterday to see how people were doing and it was at the pricnely sum of £20.02 i nearly edited the listing with words to the effect of "i know i said it was a bargain, but come on people, be realistic...the stereo is worth a lot more than £20" but i decided against it
i sat and watched this afternoon as there were some small bidding flurries, and i was a little disappointed when it didn't make it's reserve of £100...oh well
someone has since emailed me and offered £85 including p&p which i think is a little low, but i'm going to have a think about it before i laugh at them and say, in a very condesending tone "no", although i might take them up, i'd rather pay to have it fitted into my car...which may cause a little problem as the pug has a fitted head unit and the multi changer is fitted in the back as well, still they might be able to hook up both changers...we'll have to see
still...work is going fairly slow today so i'm just chilling at the moment, thinking about things, mulling them over in my head
i need a beer
i need a holiday too...but i think in fairness a beer is probably going to be more realistic

34 fume cupboards
34 effing fume cupboards
33 of them are special constructions because they are bigger than the stardard FC's we offer and the remaining one is also a special because it's smaller than the ones we offer! typical!! to top it off they want special controllers, apparently ours ain't good enough, which is going to add an additional £37,500 to the price, and that's before we factor it, i could be adding up to £87,000 to the "competative" quote, but seeing as all the other quotes from the other companies will be using this price as well...if shouldn't make too much difference...right?
sorry, minor rant about the current pricing proposal i'm working on.

in other news...there is no other news
blockage in my blogage
it's such a nice day outside i want to be out there running around like a loon with the woofer, but the woofer ain't really the kinda woofer that does a lot of running, he's a bit on the small side really...i want a bigger woofer...for those who have never seen the woofer, he's a little woofer, he sulks when my dad's away so i tend to visit my folks a bit more often then just to make sure the woofer's ok, when he runs his back end goes quicker than the front...which makes him look funny when he's lolloping along...foolish woofer

right i should really getback to work

anyone got any ideas of ways to make the time go quicker?
i would appreciate them
take care peeps

dead bugs, spilt yoghurt and hacky-sack
three very small things
while i was in the bath yesterday i squished a bug with my book... it was only a smallish one, and it was a brown sort of colour on the outside, but it was the colour on the inside that freaked me a little...it was like a lime green colour...i must say that it went well with the colours in the bath too though, for those who have utilised my facilities it was the same sort of colour as the tiles... reminded me of MiB for some reason, probably because it was a bug and it was green on the inside...
i spilt yoghurt on my touchpad thing a little while ago and although i've tried to clean it off it's still there, i got a tissue and tried to mop it, but that just spread it about a bit, so i tried to absorb it as well, but that didn' work either, i used my finger to try and clean it off, but that sent the game i was playing a little mental...that'll teach me for eating yoghurt will sitting at the laptop
actually it probably won't
i've been playing a lot of hacky-sack at work recently, so much so that we now have regular sack breaks during the day...not as many as the smokers have fag breaks, but we still have plenty... but it's giving us a break away from the screen and it's also exercise...so i see no harm in it
right, i'm off, be random people

How to make a shadowfish
Ingredients:
3 parts pride
5 parts humour
5 parts ego
Method:
Combine in a tall glass half filled with crushed ice.
Top it off with a sprinkle of lustfulness and enjoy!
i got it from some quiz site (www.go-quiz.com) thing and thought it was funny :)

this didn't work properly and i couldn't delete the page for some reason
oh well

randomness
a friend of mine has told me i'm the personification of the word random...not sure if i'm the anthropomorphic personification of random though...still it's cool...
really random sighting the other day, while heading home from work i spotted, as you do, a white van...nothing odd about that i hear you utter...well for a while now i've been thinking that there is an increasingnumber of white vans on our natoins highways and byways, that there must be a secret breeding ground for them somewhere...well this van proved it, this vanwas pregnant with another white van. i know this because i could see it through the rear windows of the original van...it was bizarre to think that a white van, backbone of our country, deliverer of our goods and needs, was actually delivering a white van
i've seen loads of random things driving to and from work, it's a pain in the butt that i can't remember them now though...oh hum
i've been sat here for like half an hour now staring at the screen...mind's gone blank
been looking at random blogs again, found out what tagging is as well...bit random, but at least it's easier than getting all the email questionnaires that take like 45 minutes to fill out ach time and are all identical and time consuming and everything like that...might start doing that too though
anyway seeing as i'm stuck for things to write and i only really intended to mention the white van thing and anything else i could could remember...

do i have to?
i've just spent a couple of hours reading random blogs online, there are some really good ones out there, but at the same time there are a lot of "spam" blogs for example the comment i got on mine about a ceiling fan diagram blog...yeah great, some people either have too much time on their hands or really should think about getting a darwin award...
although i said i was moving out this weekend...i'm now not...this is predominantly due to 2 factors, the first being that i haven't been arsed to pack anything up yet and the second is because i've not seen my bro to tell him...planning on moving out by next weekend now instead though, which will give me more time to sort things with him and pack up and everything. (or at least that's the plan)
work has been ok this week, may have finished the quote for a scottish project, three weeks after originally getting it and after about 3 revisions either because there was something missing or because we were too expensive or because the client changed their minds about it and chose something else...really helpful people that they are!!!
been doing some more sudoku this week, no idea why, but i'm really getting into it and i think it's getting easier!
me and luton had a bit of barney the other day, but the really confusing bt was that we were arguing the same point from diferent directions. still not 100% sure she knows where i was coming from, but i don't think i'm 100% sure i know where she was coming from either...but it's sorted and we realised that we were arguing the same point...making the whole thing pointless
oh well
been in a really apathetic mood this week too...don't really know why, don't really care either, fingers crossed it'll improve though
anyway, i'm blogging off for now,
take care peeps
laters,
