And Alen gets his annorak on…

Today… i visited RAF Hendon… the RAF museum in London. fantastic!!! have been before but its always kewl to go back and see more.

unfortunately the pics were pretty much shite except a couple.

well… heres teh best of.. pride of teh RAF and the saviour of teh Falklands… The Harrier…

 

Just below it is the engine and that black n red one is Lindenbergs personally commisioned single seater. He used it to commute around Europe but also crossed teh atlantic a couple times!

Anyway… i can ratttle on about this stuff for ages but wont bore ya… Annorak off!

Bletchley Park

For the past 30+ years i have lived within a few minutes of what was Britains biggest kept secret and only today did the mrs and i go see it.

Blethcley Park is fantastic. the work carried out there during WW2 meant that the likes of me still speak english and not german.

i wont rattle on about it but i have got a few pics for ya all…

So here I am…

at the Chilli Pot lookin very hawt n shexy (as always) and no fookers payin attention!

why?

coz cara looks friggin amazing!!!

“It Follows You!”

A friend of mine said she couldn’t wait to read the blog about the holiday (Riall) coz, in her words… “it follows you”
So… here we are… lets go over the last couple days events shall we.
Sunday morning… shouldn’t hav gon to sleep.. felt like crap lol
Got up – early
Got done – early (record for cara) lol
Taxi – early (shocked still lol)
At airport – early still
Check-in – easy (startin to get worried now… this is far too easy)
On plane… usual crap – it left a little late due to….erm… lemme see.. oh yes.. inability of airport staff to get to the gate on time. We were called and got tere before the gate staff!
And the pilot!
Take off – jumpy
Flight – done worse
Landing – hard (just how cara likes it hehehe)
Got to the hotel (The Rubicon Prison… oops Palace) and done the check in bit – room not ready can we go have lunch and come back then for the key.

Waited for restaurant to open, had a nice lunch and went back to the reception – room still not eady… come back in 40 minutes.

So far we had been here over an hour.

After a total of 2 hours we hada key and were taken by “train” to the room. If the room was any further from the facilities we coulda popped home n fed the cats!

As it was the room was.. clean. The balcony door couldn’t be locked and the bed collapsed when cara sat on it! Koff adios koff

After another 2 n half hours and 7 phone calls, maintenance repaired it all. This is after requestin a room change to be told they are fully booked (bollox… next door was empty) and that we didn’t pay for a sea view. Nope, we didn’t pay for a sea view and at no point did we ask for one. On the same note, we didn’t pay for a view of a building site either but we had one.

We are at Tuesday now, im a lil burnt… caras run out of things to talk about so is just repeating the same stuff lol

At the mo her nose is in a book and we are waiting to change rooms. Had a word with the rep yesterday and he apparently worked his magic. We now havea room that over looks the pool and has a massive balcony.. with living plants. The old room had a balcony with a dead aloe vera and a length of hose pipe! Lovely… just like home lol.
Currently, im wangin out some kickin tunes on the lappy and caras reading a jodi picoult book.

Spent all day checkin out the jubblies along the sea front and round the pool… no I didn’t photograph them.. wotya take me for.. a perv?!?! Got an album full… wanna see hehehe

The island is actually stunnin and I would recommend to anyone to come here. The hotel is gorgeous but like all euro countries… they hate the english! Must be coz we are hospitable and they aint ner ner.

and someone had to say it follows me lol

Clockwatching

So its 11:00 .. .ive been here two hours and it feeels like an eternity!

come on clock.. .start moving.. no not that way… forwards damn you, MOVE FORWARDS!

HOLIDAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Were all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two…

Okay so its only a week but fook are we gonna havea good time.

just loungin around by the pool… soaking up teh sun…

checkin out the jubblies >:) hehehe

Will prolly spend a good chunk of today on ere… in holiday mode already!

actually… been in holiday mode for teh past month lol

okey cokey… biab

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! I RAWK!!!

Guess whos picked up a bonus… WOOT!

damn im good at teh shit i do

Hmmmm…

I’m pondering a web based database for work related stuff… IT department are not to forthcoming with ideas or at volunteering server space.

Keep insisting on a Lotus Domino type  database…

why am i blogging this?? coz hopefully a techy type chap will jump up and say “Oi check this shit.. itsa easy mod database taht uses bugger all server space and even thickos can put it together”

that would be ideal… I can do MS Access but taht east server space

i dont want domino coz, well, talk is of dropping Lotus anyway and sticking solely with outlook so taht’ll just double teh workload for me.

Just wondering if an access db fed not by forms but web pages would be less byte consuming??? doubt it (???) easy to knock together tho!

No matter what, this is gonna be tricky and naturally, costs must be kept to a minimum… zero in fact lol. must get brain working

ONE HOUR(ish) LATER: Just spent teh last hour bodging up form examples to try and explain what i’m looking for to IT. Unfortunatley they are not as “inventive” as most IT types.

I suppose i could upload one to this but i really cant be arsed!

is it time to go home yet?

Just a little note…

I have today received an invitation from a collegue at work for a “Candle Party”

i aint goin but i thought her closing line was fantastic and all restauranteurs could use it… thinking about it, dont McDonalds already say it???

If you have special requirements food or drinks then you will have to go without or bring your own!!  As I have enough special needs of my own.

OMG! Its Monday Morning … still!

okay I think this now deserves a longer play than the previous post…

Lets start with our morning trip to ASDA. Bored of salads from Tesco I decided to try one from ASDA instead (2 for 3 quid! Bargain!)

Said salads selected and at the self service till … its monday morning therefore i have no intention of having any sort of small talk with the bright and perky cashier… aftre struggling to scan the barcodes the machine, its its kinda electronic politeness, demanded taht i select a cashback amount… Normally i would look for the “Fook Off – Leave Me Alone” button, failing that the “No Thanks!” button will do. (Why is it that the machine can talk to ya liek its wiped u off its shoe but your response to it MUST end in Thanks or Please???).

So Anyways… Please consider whos writing this (me) and the time of day (8:10am)… the decision to have cash back or not is tricky enough with a sudden brain-fart on my part where, for some unknown reason, i WOULD like cash back! so not only have i found myself faced with a decision but i then go and give myself another… how much?

It seemed like an eternity before I managed to decide.. and judging by the look on the face of teh girl guarding teh self service, it was to her too!

So, decision made, I selected the amount required and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Finally the till jammed up! And seeing the error message explode across the screen, I turned to call the Girl Guard for help… Gone!

She had fled her post to hide between teh regular checkouts. after calling her repeatedly (and the nice looking young lady at Satans Checkout next door giving me funny looks) i wandered over only to be stropped at because Girl Guard was “Gettin some one to ‘elp ya, alrite!”

Funny.. .thought thats what they put the college drop outs on self service guard duty for? to “elp ya” when teh machine eats your hard-earned!

Eventually, her supervisor came along and after much confusion (?) over how i could have 20 quids change after spending 3 quid and teh till saying 0.00 change, i managed to explain in very little words CASH BACK!

I wont go into teh difficulties of openin the cash box inside teh till to retreive my money (open latch and remove – tricky eh?!) but needless to say with a little bitchin and moanin, i managed to leave ASDA complete with my 20 quid and 2 salads! YAAY

on to work… OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
