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
Px
p.s.
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 :)

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

early planning for birthday
ok, i know my birthday is over 2 months away, and what i've got in mind is infact nearer 3 months away, but i've remembered the 6p's:
prior
planning
prevents
piss
poor
performance
and with that in mind, i'm putting some feelers out as it were to see what people are interested in
ideas posted as comments would be ideal
first idea is mine
wwe raw and smackdown, televised events, from sheffield, back to back nights, monday and tuesday, end of november...tickets go on sale fairly soon, probably around the £40 mark per night, plus a hotel, spending money and drinking money...any takers?
other ideas include a few gigs that are on around then, including flogging molly, i think i heard that on the grapevine sometime ago...
anyway let me know what you think

robbed!!!
people of the world...you're being robbed!
ask we speak, the people who make m&m's are robbing us
they are robbing us with every peanut m&m they make
i'm disappointed to announce that in the 250g pack of peanut m&m's i am "slowly" eating my way through while "working my nuts off" today at work, i'm yet to find a whole peanut incased in the crispy shelled chocolate, every time i either bite into or let it all melt into my mouth, i only find half a nut
it's shocking
i'm thinking of writing to my MP
i'm thinking of starting a petition
i'm thinking it's just too much for one person to take on
anyway in other news
work is going ok
i've decided that i should move out of my flat this week, moving back into my parents house is the idea again at the moment, it's cheaper and it'll give me a chance to sort out a few things before i set about looking for a new place...cunning plan, we'll just have to see if it works...it'll be easier now as well because i will rarely be in my parents house with just my dad, which i think was part of the problem before...might see if i can have a second line put in so i can have my own internet access as well, that would be cool and it would save me from using the desktop computer, which is starting to work at the speed of a gereatric chicken
my wwe fantasy roster isn't doing too bad, although i've dropped about 2000 places this last week, but considering the amount of people i think are doing it, it's ok, i'm not going to win anything though :(
so in general, it's all good at the moment
take care peeps

balls
tennis balls
golf balls
footballs
basketballs
squash balls
korfballs
rugby balls
cricket balls
noticing a theme
yes
you've got it
it's all balls!
not sure why, i've had a few pretty good days, work has been pretty stress free, i finished my book, things have been really quite nice
but today
today it's all balls again
not even sure why, might be because i skipped breakfast i guess, might be because i didn't sleep very much last night
but at the moment it's all balls
beach balls
baseballs (is that right? it sounds odd, but then so does baseball balls...dodgy)
polo balls
anyway things are just feeling a little strange today, i'm tempted to take tomorrow off work, everyone else seems to be doing the same here and i'd love to be able to have a lay-in again, that'd be nice, and i could sort out a load of things, like the bank and post office stuff that i've been trying to deal with for a few weeks now...i could even get a hair cut
but then again i could do all these things on a saturday, it's just going to involve me heading into oxford to go to the bank...ho-hum
feel a bit sick now, the handy-man here at the farm is creosoting stuff again :(
and the sky looks like it's going to open at any minute
lol
oh well
i've got a big carton of ribena, some TUC biscuit things and some m&m's to cheer me up...the afternoon should be fairly good from there me thinks :)

Taranchilla
no i'm not talking about a hybrid/mutant cross between a tarantula and a chinchilla, that would just be strange!
i'm on about a track on an album that i got at the weekend (hold your colour by pendulem) it's DnB which is a change from the usual stuff i listen to and tarantula is a corking, stand-out track on it and i just can't get it out of my head (even if it does sound like they're saying taranchilla)
thought i'd better blog having not done it for a week
things are ok
work is dull and i've put the same quote out 5 times in the last week because there were errors, sometimes they were my errors, other times they were the fault of the salesman, which meant it was my fault too...this quote is worth like £600k and is over 150 pages long, so producing that 5 times has cost a tree or two somewhere...pain in the arse salesman
everything else is pretty ok, trying to look for a new place to live, but every place i'm interested in is either too expensive, too small or let before i've had a chance to even look at it...which is great...trying to move vaguely closer to work as well so i can save some money on the travel costs, but at the rate things are going i'l be back at my parents place before i know it :(
anyway i should get back to work

realisation
i realised soething today that's made me feel a bit better and smile
on august the 8th 2004 i cut myself with a steak knife, it was a bit deeper than i intended at the time and although i meant to cut myself and it relieved some tension at the time i ended up taking my ass off to the hospital to make sure thatit was ok and that it didn't need stitches or anything like that.
also on this day i promised myself that i wouldn't do it again
and it's been a little over a year now since i did it and i'm still alive and kicking, and better than that i've not cut myself once intentionally since that day.
this realisation means a lot to me.
it means that i've got things emotionally under more control than i had last year.
it means i've moved on to a better place than i was in last year.
there are so many people i want to thank for this that i'm not going to name anyone in case i miss someone out. but i want everyone to know that i owe them all so much and without them there is a chance that i wouldn't be here today, and it means a lot for me to be able to say that, i just hope you all realise how much you all mean to me, if i could thank you all personally i would, you have no idea how much i owe you
and that's all there is to it, i'm just sorry that some of the people i need to thank properly probably won't read this because i've lost touch with them over the year, and other people won't read this because they don't know about it or don't have access...which is a shame because i can be more honest on here than i can in person
take care peeps and know that i'm there if you need me like you've all been there for me over the last 12-18 months
thank you all

quantus vobis uxor?
it's latin
not an advert for an australian airline
bored at work waiting for a price so i started plugging random things into a latin translator online and this is one of my favourites, it means how much for you wife?
big thanks have got to go out to jenfer who braved the cinema with me last night to see devil's rejects, not sure if it was really her bag, but i enjoyed it so that's ok
was a very weird film
very trippy
it's a follow on from the first film (house of 1000 corpses) feeping the family the same
like i said i liked it
wasn't quite as weird as the first, but still very abstract
found myself laughing out loud at the bug splat of a death in one scene, jenfer will know which one i mean and if any of you see it you'll see what i mean too, it involves a mack truck and a person and in saying that i've peobably said too much
there were other people in the cinema laughing though so it was ok, i didn't feel like too much of a freak for laughing when i did
and there was a bit about tutti-frutti, that was funny too
not going to give the "story" away though
anyway thanks jenfer
big time

two quick reviews to think about...
no. #1
this song has been in my head for a couple of days, don't know why, don't read anything into it either, i think it's just a beautiful song, i'd except this to be a single sometime soon
James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

charlie and the chocolate factory
went to see it at the weekend
you've got to go see it, it is absolutely amazing
johnny depp is awesome in it, he plays the part so well!
it's so very different from the original that it's a whole new film
tim burton works his magic with it, the colours, the pace of the film, the eerie look of some things, the way it's been set up, everything screams burton...
and the oompah loompahs...well they were just brilliant, but orange anymore and there's no green hair, but the stripes have been kept...
go and see it
go and see it
go and see it
that's an order!!!
take care peeps

this song has been in my head for a couple of days, don't know why, don't read anything into it either, i think it's just a beautiful song, i'd except this to be a single sometime soon
James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.

ok...i need to do this
not sure what "this" is though
i keep thinking of things that i have to do and then not doing them
there are things i need to say to people as well, but they seem irrelevent most of the time
i feel crappy
i want a break
work
it's going ok at the moment, sometimes i'm bored, other times i'm busy, the bored times are bad, the busy times fly by, it makes me feel as though there are more bored times though because they drag so much compared to the busy times...it sucks
money
it's too tight to mention
car
running well, happy with it
life
s'ok, nuff said
things i've done
went to visit V&A, not the museum, the people...cooked V some dinner, we had some wine and chatted for hours and hours, it was cracking, it was really good to catch up and chat and chill. she made me realise a few things, which is always good, i like it when people point things out to me, it's easier than working them out on my own...
played pool a lot and got drunk on friday, that was needed and fun, did the same late night too
finished Harry Potter, finally, didn't think it was the best, there are some really random bits in the storyline where she rambles about things which seem to have little or no relevance to the current plot. as for who dies...did they really die? or is it just a twist in the storyline for the next/final book? we shall see
saw a policeman about the car crash, he came o see me yesterday during my lunch hour, gave him my statement and everything. he actually had to read me my rights first, nearly laughed out loud at that one, very bizarre! but i understood why. he said if it was up to him there wouldn't be a case, it looks very much like an accident and that's that, but it's not up to him, someone else has got to decide...oh well
not really done anything else been too tired to do anything really, too tired and too miffed and fugged off with everything to feel like doing much...
forth coming plans
seeing luton lass at the weekend, ot sure if she's coming here or i'm going there yet though
sleep
ironing and washing, it's piling up and i want to get shot of it and have a bit of a tidy up, might do that tonight...
anyway, that's it, i'm going to have my lunch

People make me laugh
there has been an abundance of swearing in the office the last couple of days, from everyone, i think the only person i've not hear utter an obsenity has been the boss, but seeing as i lack the knowledge to understand german, i wouldn't be surprised if he has swore and i've just not heard him...
but everyone's at it, from the secretary all the way up
sometimes it's a minor obsenity, i.e. bloody, bugger, crap and the like, other times it's a bit more, i.e. fuck, shit etc. yesterday the photocopier took a bit of a verbal battering from the secretary
chunk usually swears down the phone at people he knows
spanish usually mutters it under his breath
i've been cursing the architects of the project i'm on and various others have joined me in that, including the saleswoman who wants the quote and spiderman who's trying to help me with it...
anyway, it's keeping me entertained trying to work out who's next to swear...and why

bizarre bits & pieces
ok i've not blogged for just over a week, so i thought i'd better update something before someone moans, either DK or chunk...
right the last week has been pretty uneventful i think, i certainly don't remember much happening anyway...well nothing exciting anyway
finally got round to seeing pidge on friday evening while she was at work, it's been the first time i've seen her in nearly a year, so that was cool to see her for a little while, even if she did hurt my chest when she gave me a hug...women! tut tut!
baby chunk is off this week, she's heading to cyprus with her new job for a couple of months, i know chunk'll miss her, i know i will to, she was one of the few people at the abbey i really considered a proper friend. but i know she'll enjoy her new job and i think it'll sui her down to the ground, hopefully!
Luton lass is off this week as well, but only on holiday, she's off to spain for a week later today, she'd beter send me a postcard at least or there will be real trouble!
had an email today from my german mental, she said she's getting married on friday, which is cool...she's having tomorrow and thursday off to get everything ready, getting hitched on friday, then back in work on monday!!! told you she was mental!
nothing much else has happened the last few days though.
work is going pretty well at the moment, we had a meeting due at 8am this morning and i would've made it with time to spare, but luton stopped over last night and was still in bed when i wanted to leave, i was going to leave her there, it would've been ok, but she said she'd get up, so i left 20 minutes late, got to work at 8.10 and had to walk in to the meeting late, everyone started laughing at me too :o( the rest of the work type thing is ok though, just finishing off a quote today for the uni of warwick and then starting a big one for uni in dublin...so i'm fairly busy at the moment :o)
still trying to sort out a few things to do with my car, but the new one's running fine. if anyone knows anyone who wants to buy a car stereo and multi-changer i've got one on the go for £150, it's missing the multi-changer lead though, but it should be worth around £300+ so it's a bit of a bargain...get in touch with me for more details...
well i'd better get back to it, lunch is about half over and i've not stopped to eat yet...anyway just a little something to make everyone chuckle...i'm glad i didn't use these when i got caught!
These extravagant excuses for speeding include alien hypnosis, low-flying aircraft, a dying hamster and bouts of diarrhoea. Here is the top 10:
1) I had passed out after seeing flashing lights, which I believed to be UFOs in the distance. The flash of the camera brought me round from my trance.
2) I was in the airport's flight path and I believe the camera was triggered by a jet overhead, not my car.
3) I had a severe bout of diarrhoea and had to speed to a public toilet.
4) There was a strong wind behind my car, which pushed me over the limit.
5) My friend had just chopped his fingers off and I was rushing the fingers to hospital.
6) The vibrations from the surfboard I had on the roof rack set off the camera.
7) I had to rush my dying hamster to the vets.
8) A violent sneeze caused a chain reaction where my foot pushed down harder on the accelerator.
9) There was a suspected case of foot and mouth and I had to rush to see the cow concerned.
10) The only way I could demonstrate my faulty clutch was to accelerate madly.
take care peeps

there's a spider in the bathroom and it's only got 7 legs...
it looks like it's surviving ok though, but im not sure how many flies are in the toilet at work though becasue i've never seen any go in, apart from the ones on the front of my trousers...
my chest is still really hurting, and it feels like it's getting worse, same with my ankle. i keep turning my ankle when i'm walking along and it hurts, and i keep sneezing or having to blow my nose, which is hurting my chest too...
i'm practically alone in the office again now, it's lunch time and everyone else had buggered off, i don't really blame them either
the car is running well, and it's really nice to have air/con, although i put the cd's in the magazine the wrong way round the first time and felt a bit silly, thankfully there was only me in the car at the time so it was ok. really need to see about putting in m y 6x9's in the back as the sound output at the moment it a little less than desired and the bass is muffled, so i need to sort that out soon, maybe this weekend if i can get hold of some leads and that.
i'm tired, fed-up and bored...
