we don't need no water let the m**********r burn!
ok some of you on facebook will have noted tha ti had the fire brigade out as stupid oclock on saturday morning
the story is simple
i went to bed around 2 in the morning (i usually do this because i'm still jacked from work), well just as i'm dropping off to sleep around 2.45, the smoke alarm goes off...
thing is, it wasn't my smoke alarm, it was the one belonging to the bloke downstairs...
i leave it thinking he'll turn it off shortly
after 5 minutes i think, hey that's going on a bit long, is he even there?
i have a look around my flat and out of the windows to see if there's any smoke
can't see anything or smell anything, so i head back to bed
after 15 minutes of this i'm getting a little pissed off, why hasn't the fucker turned his alarm off?
so i call the fire and police
while i'm on the phone to the police the firemen turn up, i've got to run down stairs and explain to them that although it's probably nothing, the bloke's alarm has been going of for over 20 minutes now
they poke around and have a look see if there's anything they can see and they see smoke
hanging a couple of feet off the ceiling
they bang on the door a couple of times and the bloke answers, apparently oblivious to either the smoke or the alarm!
although he was swaying a little making me htink he'd had a couple of beers
from what the firemen said, the bloke had thought it would be a good idea to get something to eat in his inebriated state. he put a pan on, some water in it and a spoon, and wandered off to sit down while the pan got to the boil.
he fell asleep
that kind of deep sleep you only get when you've had a few
and left the pan on
well the plastic handle of the spoon melted
and started smoking
which set the alarm off eventually
which kept me awake
which meant i called the fire peeps
and they sorted it out
so in a round about way i couldve saved this blokes life
has he spoken to me since?
hell no
not even a note through the letter box
dumb bastard!
anyway this week is a busy one for me
instead of the quiz on monday, me and the guys went to see a band called british sea power, it was ok, not great, but thennot really my thing to listen to
speaking of the pub, i've also bene made a duty manager, and the landlord told me that whatever i put down on an application form he'll back up as long as i tell him beforehand. the landlady then said that if they get paperwork asking for a reference they'll give me a bad one because they don't want me to leave!
tomorrow i've got an interview
a real live face to face one, with a test thing as well...yeah i must remember not to do so well on the test that they think i'll leave, but well enough to make them want to employ me!
and on friday, it's my worst day
i've got to go to the hospital to have my remaining wisdom teeth removed, which will involve bone chipping to get them out!
it does mean that i've got friday night off from the pub
and saturday too
but they want me back in time for sunday...
i've got a feeling that this might hurt though
but i'll be there...because as i keep telling people
I'M HARDCORE!!!
i've also got some money switched around at the moment for future plans
nothing more can be said at this time
but keep your eyes and ears open
news will be coming soon
i hope!
right i was going to bed half hour ago
night peeps
i might be back in the morning with a rush job HNT
we shall see though

the sooner the better
the weather here is rubbish at the moment.
it's cold enough to snow, but it's not snowing, it's foggy and with the wind chill as well, it feels like it's -5C (or about 20F for those of you who prefer it that way)
I went out for a couple of beers last night and it was stupid cold on the walk to the pub, the walk home was ok because we'd had a couple of drinks though, but it was still bitterly cold.
but it was a good night out, in fact it was better than that, the northerner, the boag and myself went for a drink and a get together as it's been a while since we went out for one. we caught up, chatted rubbish and had a few beers. that to me is a decent night out
no stress
no pressure
no fuss
no hassle
anyway, there's another meeting to decide my future at this job next week, we should all know what's going on by the 14th at the very latest though...
still i've had a look for a couple of jobs, not many though. I was supposed to go to the second interview for the "sales and marketing" job yesterday, but i didn't go. I don't really want to go door to door asking people if they are happy with their energy suppliers and would they like to change to another one. I don't like the idea of standing around in shopping centres pushing satelite tv and personal health care solutions to people who really are not that interested and don't want to break stride to say no thanks, let alone stand and answer a couple of questions. so now i've got to have a think about what to do, but to be honest i'll have a look at a couple of places, all i need is a job to tide me over until i know what else might be happening, the bigger plans and all that...
the future is looking good
right
i'm done for today
i've got an afternoon at work and an evening working in the pub...i can't wait!

the weird czech guy
he sat there the other day eating a green pepper (capsicum/bell pepper) like it was an apple...
he was weird
anyway i went out today on my own again and it's odd...when i'm on my own in the van things are ok
all except for the stupid satnav...which today said i was off-roading (in a van, doing 60mph)
don't you just love it when people don't update things for you?
anyway, i heard back from the job interview i had last week, they chose someone with more accounts experience...fair do's, i don't mind
i spoke to the landlord yesterday, he got rid ot the new chef at the weekend, and i told him that seeing as i was seriously considering getting into the trade a lot more i was interested in the chef's position...he's waiting to hear back from someone else first, but thinks i could do it easily... i'll keep you posted on that
hi to anyone who's ventured over from facebook, leave a comment!
i'm not going to be able to HNT tomorrow, until late in the day...although there's a chance that i might appear on a different site in true HNT fashion...more on that later too
right i'm shattered, but i need to jump in the shower and get my butt in gear as i'm at the pub again tonight...all this work, and all i'm thinking about now is the money...give it to me!
dammit now!
anyway, i'm off to get clean and fresh
laters peeps, take care

PS i'm still open to suggestions for holiday destinations...although i have an idea that might work...more on that too later...

proper hanging...
i went out last night
didn't realise that is was going to be a big night out though...
felt proper hanging this morning when i woke up after under 4 hours sleep because of it
felt fine last night though
but then last night i'd had:
1 pint of guinness
5 bottles of guinness
5 bottles of corona
and 5 shooters
it was a good night :)
and there were LOTS of fit young ladies about too
anyway just to keep you guys informed
i didn't get the flat that i'd put the offer in for (which is fine with me, like i said, it was too small for the money)
i've still not been paid from the print shop, apparently i'll get something on friday (i'll believe that when i see it)
but i'm in a better mood
i worked monday night, which was good, it'll give me a bit extra for next week :)
the quiz was pretty good, still played, even though i was working, but was a member of the bar team, which was me, steffi and sweet...sweet doesn't work there, he's just there all the time!
yesterday i didn't do much at all, apart from go out in the evening
today i went and had a very quick interview for a job that i'll be starting on monday, t's a driving job, and the hours are long, but the work is easy and its full time :)
i've got another interview next week, which will be more normal hours and should be better if i can get it (more money too)
on idea really what to say at the moment, things have been a little weird this week and going out last night has left me with my mind elsewhere
that in mind,
laters peeps

like a pair of good jeans
this is 501 :)
ok peeps i've not been feeling too great this week, unknown reasons, well unknown to some, known to me. add to that the new schedule of being busy with work...yeah that's the thing that i've not done for a while, but i'm back in it now. a visit to the dentist and an interview...that's lead to a lack of blogging this week...however i should be back to normal next week with i'm hoping a daily blog post...but we shall see
anyway
interview...
this was on wednesday morning, it's for a sports centre that's not even built yet...so this was literally just a find out a bit more about me and see what jobs i could do at the centre kind of interview...
it seemed to go pretty well though, i talked a lot, but then that's what this interview was all about...me :)
it'll be a couple of months until i find out what's going on there though...
dentist
was wednesday afternoon, bit of a follow up to last weeks emergency appointment and a check up (needed because i don't like going to the dentist and it's been about 2 years since i last went...)
unfortunately he told me that he wants to take out my other wisdom tooth from the top jaw...there's a couple of fillings as well, these were expected. but worse still was that he's got to refer me to the hospital to have my other wisdom tooth out because it's growing the wrong way and it's so bad that he can't do it himself...
see i'm not a fan of the dentist and it's things like this that make it worse
:(
was going to post a song for the weekend that was about going to the dentist, but i couldn't find teethgrinder by therapy? anywhere...that was until i tried youtube ;)
(i'm going to have to look there more often for songs for a friday)
anyway this song is cool, it's an old track, at least 10 years ago now, and it reminds me of the time when i was first into metal and was looking at all the bands around with opened awe
anyway have a good weekend peeps, i'm working all day tomorrow at the pub, but i'll try and call in with you all at some point over the weekend :)
oh and natalia, thanks for the info on the sitemeter thing, have my own now...curious as to why someone would look up blowjob chunder and get me as top of the list...anyway...it's also shwon up a few other things, i can now tell where people are from easier...which means that for some places i can guess who that person is...like the view hiding out there who's checked in from wangen in germany...

problems
interview:
the interview on tuesday went really well, right up to the point where they said that i hadn't got the job. it's cool though, it was an experience.
the presentatoin went well, i've proved to myself that i can do powerpoint and webpages, so that's cool, they even said that my presentation was strong. they also said that i was an obvious leader and that i had very good interactive skills from observing me with the rest of the group. but it all came down to a points system (?) and i hadn't scored enough...and it was very close...
oh well
they are keeping my details on record as they have a few vacancies coming up that they think i might be well suited for...
quiz:
so tango girl is on holiday at the moment, so i managed not to be thinking about that in the evening...
and jenfer came along again so that was cool, but seeing as we both arrived a little too late to be of any real use for the first round, we joined another team to see how we could do, we tied a couple of rounds, but as always we lost out on the tie-breaker, and came second overall so it was the usual performance from us :)
thanks again to linny who tried to help out, but we both got confused by which football this bloke played with...english or american...anyway it's all good :)
home:
i've been asked to move out asap
seeing as i don't have a real job at the moment i might have a few issues with that, but i've emailed a couple of places so hopefully i'll be able to view them soon, and then put down the money for them...fingers crossed i get a real job before i run out of money...we shall have to wait and see though
bit crap really that i need to move so quickly, but it's ok in other ways because i need my space and all that and i guess that this will make me pull my finger out and get things done...
anyway i think that's pretty much all the news i have for the moment
check out the video from yesterday, it made me laugh and reminded me of a "better time" sitting in the back of 'A' level chemistry with woja and other peeps singing this song :)
have a good day peeps

monday madness
it's only time for a quickie today as i need to go and have a hair cut today and then sort out a presentation for a job interview that i've got tomorrow
it's an all day interview too, so i'm hoping that i can impress them...which is why i'm planning on getting a haircut...it's become a bit of a mop top at the moment...
currently looking to see if i can plan an activity programme for parents and babies.
thinking of doing a pool based activity initially, but i'm thinking i should also do a dryside activity programme too...depends on how much time i've got to do it all in though!
i've been told to "be creative" in how i'd promote the session(s) so i'm trying to work on some html (i'm hoping that after all this blogging i'll be able to do something interesting seeing as i've ripped their source code)
also looking at doing a powerpoint presentation (never done that before)
and some OHP's as well...got to cover all the bases right?
anyway peeps, i've also got to head into work for the lunchtime service...more loaves of bread!!! so with that in mind i've got to love you and leave you
catch up soon (but maybe not tomorrow)

friday means FIFTEEN
yeah
fifteen
15
not quite 16
that's how many loaves of bread i had to prep this morning
that's slice them and butter them
then it was making sandwiches all lunchtime...although we had a quiet one today, we did 85 covers, that's one whole cover more than last friday...
anyway there appears to be some curiousity about the possibility of someone else that is taking my mind off tango girl
it's true
last weekend when i went to go and see my mate and get drunk i met a few nice people, one of them has been in touch a lot this week and that's cool. i'd like to get to know her better and i'm hoping that i'll be able to.
as for tango girl, like i said before, that's on hold until later...and now who knows
i'm sure there was something else i was supposed to tell you all
oh yeah
i've got yet another interview next week, although this one's being touted as an assessment day, it should be good and the job is back in leisure, so it's playing to my experience and strengths i hope. waiting to find out more about it, i've got to do a presentation during the day as well...no idea what that's on yet, the details are coming in the post soon.
i hope i get something soon otherwise i'm going to have to go back and sign on again because the landlord has got a candidate for the vacant chef's position, which will mean that i won't be doing the cold counter anymore...although that also means i won't be slicing bread...got to be positive about these things :)
song for the weekend...
i had something in my head earlier in the week, but i can't remember what it was...bugger
so i'm going with this one
just because it's by a band that very few UK people have heard of and i jus tthink it's an awesome song. this one track made me want the whole album which took me ages to find because it's an import, yeah i got it online in the end. but who cares, this is familiar 48 with the question. i like it ok:

missed ya yesterday
did ya miss me?
firstly
tango girl
i know what you all think about the situation and i'm glad i've had some form of input from you all...but in honesty, i know what i'm doing at the moment. she's off for a couple of weeks tomorrow and i don't want to say anything until she gets back at least, it's not fair
besides there's a possibility of someone else on the scene anyway
interview
yesterday i had that interview
it was crap
the interview wasn't bad, but the job was, the job was basically sitting there and matching invoices to delivery notes...and that's it, from 8.30 to 5.30, monday to friday, and seeing as it was work for an agency, the money would be less than i'm getting through the pub, so although i've not heard back from them ,i'm not going to accept the position if they do...i want something full time tha ti can get my teeth into, i understand that i'm more than likely going to need to start from the bottom and work up from there, but i'm as sure as hell not going to sit there matching one bit of paper with another for peanuts with an agency, not knowing if i'll be there much longer than a week...
me
i've got a cold from somewhere...it's not col seeing as i want to go out to a gig tomorrow night, the guy i'm (hopefully) seeing is called richard walters, he's had a song used in CSI and played the SXSW festival in the states, but he's a local boy from the oxford area, so it should be a good time :)
i got my car back yesterday, it cost considerably less than i was thinking it might, which was a bonus. and having it back means i can drive fast again :)
anyway i've got to to and get ready for work in a second
working splits again today
might be back this afternoon

the interview wasn't bad, but the job was, the job was basically sitting there and matching invoices to delivery notes...and that's it, from 8.30 to 5.30, monday to friday, and seeing as it was work for an agency, the money would be less than i'm getting through the pub, so although i've not heard back from them ,i'm not going to accept the position if they do...i want something full time tha ti can get my teeth into, i understand that i'm more than likely going to need to start from the bottom and work up from there, but i'm as sure as hell not going to sit there matching one bit of paper with another for peanuts with an agency, not knowing if i'll be there much longer than a week...
me
i've got a cold from somewhere...it's not col seeing as i want to go out to a gig tomorrow night, the guy i'm (hopefully) seeing is called richard walters, he's had a song used in CSI and played the SXSW festival in the states, but he's a local boy from the oxford area, so it should be a good time :)
i got my car back yesterday, it cost considerably less than i was thinking it might, which was a bonus. and having it back means i can drive fast again :)
anyway i've got to to and get ready for work in a second
working splits again today
might be back this afternoon

post quiz post
ok TMI's below for those who are interested in what i had to say this week and those who want to know a little more about me, this week it was hard and was all about choices...nothing rude either which made a change
anyway
last night was quiz night as usual
was a good night
we managed to tie in 2 of the rounds and came second over all
which wasn't too bad, although in each of the tie breaks we were wrong so no prizes came our way!
lindsey, we didn't need you this week, there were no questions in the sports bit about america, but thanks for being primed and ready ;) it's always useful to have friends like you (and not just for the help in the quiz, i miss out chats)
actually there's a few people i should thank for being there and chatting with me, but that's a side note
anyway
i sat with tango girl and the rest of that team again this week, and i decided that i couldn't do it, that i couldn't ask her out. so i've decided not to do anything about it now, she's really nice, and as much as i would like something to happen, i'm too scared to get it together and just deal with it.
that was a hard choice, but i think it's probably the right one
irony states now that i'll get it together and ask her out before she goes on holiday at the weekend! because them's the rules!
it's pancake day today, so that's something to look forward to tonight...
it does mean that i'm supposed to give something up for lent (what can i do without for 40 days?) i'm tempted to go without alcohol, but if i say that i'll head straight into the pub tomorrow and get plastered...it's pretty much the same with anything else i can think of. i guess i could give up sex for 40 days, but seeing as i'm not getting anyway it'd be like giving up smoking (which i don't do) or drinking coffee (which i can't stand)
oh well
nearly forgot, i've got another interview tomorrow, fingers crossed for that, and i've heard back from one of the ones i had last week. the one for the housing people, well they said i was too experienced...having never worked in that field EVER, i'm thinking it was a cop out answer!
enjoy pancake day peeps

interview update as promised
side note to start with...i have lurkers...this is interesting, i like the idea that there are people out there lurking in the shadows reading my posts...i'd like it more if they'd say hi once in a while though HINT HINT
ok the last 24 hours and a little more
first off the interview yesterday went pretty well, i was very honest with them saying that i was looking for something that would be new to me and come as a challenge, but also something that would allow me to grow and develop more with the role by taking on more responsibility. that seemed to go down well. i've decided that being honest is the best idea, which is what i've been all along. however, this may have been my downfall in the past by being too honest.
should hear back at the end of the week about that one.
pub quiz...i joined ken dodd's dad's dog's dead again last night, there were only 4 of us last night, ken dodd himself, 2 of the girls (one of whom being tango girl, but more on that later) and my bad self. we had a lot of laughs, although we didn't do as well as we had in past performances, not winning a round at all...btw, thanks go out to woja for the paul weller answer and also to linny for the oj simpson answer...you're both awesome, but seeing as we didn't win i've nothing to give you :) didn't think about it properly otherwise would've got jenfer on google...dammit! we did win the pontoon playoff though and were one out from getting the jackpot envelope, instead we got the goodie bag again...i nicked off with the (straight to) DVD of dracula 3000 while the others dished out the t-shirts and other shite...
interview today went pretty well, was for a health physics surveyor, which from my understanding means that i'll be checking the radiation levels in rooms and things like that, sounds pretty cool. sounds a little dangerous too, but i'm not worried about that... during the interview i had to do a mini maths test...all simple things...10 questions, 10 minutes and i could use a calculator (which i did, but only to check my answers) it took me about 5 minutes (that's including checking the answers)
should hear back from them by the end of next week...so fingers crossed there
ok back to the tango girl issue
see
now i thought i'd got her out of my head a fair bit, but i guess it was because i was sat next to her again last night and i've not spoken to her for a couple of weeks well she got back into my head a little
still i've said i'm not going to do anything about it just yet and see how things go with the dance classes and all that...but, dammit!
and there are a few other people who have caught my eye recently too...
dammit i'm going to have to make a list and go over the pro's and con's with someone (woja, jenfer, anyone up for a pint and a sorting out?)
right update completed
tmi below...i'd say it was safe for most people this week
and below that is another thing i nicked off of facebook

hmmm...interesting
ok so i've got less than 2 hours until i'm due at today's interview
i thought it would be for an estate agent...which i guess it kinda is, but not really.
although they are in the property market
it's not local property they sell, it's global!
why am i just finding this out?
i guess i should research things a little earlier than the morning of the interview. still it sounds more interesting now than i first thought, so that's got to be a bonus.
feeling better again today, seems as though i'm feeling better as each day passes...still no idea why i was down the other day, but a weekend of laying around on the sofa does wonders!
mum made a fatal mistake yesterday when she told my sister and nephew that he should be playing on the playstation because it strengthens your eyes...(according to some research that she'd read some place...) so i spent the next couple of hours strengthening my eyes :)
had a call at 1am this morning from a mate that i've not spoken to since xmas, she's invited me to go and be a student for the night at the end of the week...cheap drinks, good friends, i didn't need much convincing about that one. and it gets me out of the area for the day too
quiz tonight looks like i'll be either entering on my own or joining a different team again...but that's all good. jenfer can't make it this week, which is a shame. (if i win sweets i'm not sharing them with you love!)
anyway, i've got to hit the shower and get myself suited and booted for my interview. got another one tomorrow too...the plan is slowly unfolding
