I have a new job. Well Ok it is not NEW new, I have been there about 7 months now but when the rest of the “team” have been working there for 20 years a piece then it is definitely new! Anyway I work for a Local authority, yes boo hiss, waste of tax payers money the lot of us, but I actually do one of the “your life could depend on this!” jobs and don’t get paid half of what I am worth so boo hiss yourself! But I digress. One of the guys I work with is leaving soon, he has become dishearte...

After having spent last night sitting here tapping away at the keyboard with my one finger typing trying to put across my feelings about my work erm… mates? I find myself not really knowing what to do with this blog thing now. I could delve into my inner sanctum and find something totally personal to talk about but after reading a few of the other articles floating about I don’t think I am ever going to match up to school uniform and cheerleader fantasies and if I ever do get into this thing ...

At the moment I am sitting at home watching a programme called Most Haunted Live. It is a televisual ghost hunt and it is well… interesting to say the least. The investigators go to places that they know ghosts have been seen and see if anything happens to them. But that is not all, oooh no. They also take with them a psychic who can talk to the dead and act as a go between so we know what is going on with the ether. He says profound things like “I am getting a name… John. Yes I am getting th...

It is official!! I don’t like watching sports on TV so I am gay!!! Ooooh I feel so liberated right now, let me mince on down to the store and buy myself a tight leather vest thing and some chaps and while I am at it maybe I should grow one of those macho looking moustaches! Now don’t shoot me for my view of what a gay man looks like, I lived in a town that was officially the gay capital of Europe for most of my life and I swear on a Saturday night out in the right (or wrong) part of town ...

At work we have a man that comes around at 10:30am every morning selling sandwiches and cakes from a little trolley. This is a good thing because that means we don’t even have to leave our desks to get food let alone take a lunch break! Yes it is a little bit scary too but you have to trust that the freaky looking man with the food really knows about food hygiene don’t you? Since I have been working there I have been buying his wares for the convenience more than anything, by the time he g...

Time to cut the lawn! 5 little innocent words that when they are not together sound so innocent and not menacing at all. Put them together though and add the voice of a wife and you have a phrase that will send many a man weeping to the tool shed to get out the mower and yes I am one of those poor unfortunates that absolutely loathes anything to do with gardens at all. And yes today as I woke up those were the words that greeted me. No good morning darling how are you, no tea and biscuits to ...

Now Christmas is over I would like to bring up the spectre all over again and say wasn’t it great huh? Huh? Huh huh huh??? Ok admittedly when you get down to the bare bones of yer actual Christmas and how that long haired guy was born and came to deliver mankind from all types of nasty nasty things it probably wasn’t THAT good because who goes to church these days anyway? If you do go to church on a regular basis and are now getting ready to rant at me then please feel free but you have to ad...

Well it’s been a while since I have submitted anything on here and even though I have nothing but idle wonderings to put down tonight I think that will have to do. Work is still going ok. I should say work is still going actually because my temporary contract has been extended by another 4 months which is nice. I did have to work for almost a week without a contract though while the personnel department tried to decide if I was staying or not. We are going through a weird time at the momen...

Well that was today then. It was one of those where suddenly! Nothing happened!! I guess half of it was my fault because I just couldn’t be arsed to do much work today. This is not because I am slovenly or anything oh no, this is because I have spent the last 3 days working my butt off to meet some deadlines and now I am just… well… done! It does madden me though that half of the people in my office can spend up to 4 hours writing a single e-mail and these are the same ones that walk past my ...

Religion. Where do you start? We could waffle on about how the dinosaurs are or are not fake or how the ark is or is not sitting on top of a mountain, sorry mountains as I have seen 3 different programmes saying it is on 3 different mountains. But we won’t do that, no we will just talk about the basics. The man, or woman who is someone’s God. Before we get too far into this no I do not believe in God, never have done and never will. I can’t explain why we are here but you know what? I don...
