Back to the Sugababes

by cj592 @ 2008-05-15 - 20:53:48

I was just rocking in my electro rocking hi-fi chair with my Ipod plugged in and turned on to random shuffle, when the Sugababes 'Too lost in you' came on.... and it reminded me that I have never blogged about going o see the Sugababes live. We went in March (14th) in Brighton. I didn't blog about it because it was during that time when BT were screwing around with our phone number!!!
Anyway. The Sugababes (who we only really got into after we saw them perform as an intro act for Take That) were excellent live. It was the changes tour (which is also a great album) and there was a lot of energy- ending with high energy performances of 'Push the button' and 'About you now'- the crowd were jumping!

But Too lost in you is one of my favourites


Dark and grey, the local tom and a fat pig

by cj592 @ 2008-05-14 - 19:42:31

It's gone very dark and grey here... I feel a storm approaching. My OH has just run into the garden to stop the local tom (a cat, not a prostitute) attack a bird. Now the bird is injured, and hopping away into the hedge. Talk about ungrateful- it didn't even offer her a worm for her trouble.

And we have just booked another show (Yes, we go out quite a lot- but we love it.) We have booked tickets for this

The show and the boss' wife

by cj592 @ 2008-05-14 - 18:49:14

Last night's show was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was good music and some nice funny moments. Wilkes was good, but Natalie Casey from 'Two pints of crisps and a packet of beer (according to my OH's boss' wife) was excellent. there was some high energy performances and dances- the song 'Casualty of Love' which involved the wedding table of permanently single (and freakish looking) wedding guests doing a 'thriller' type dance. Followed by a great song called 'get out of the dumpster'. My favourite scene had to be the one on the plane- with all the fake celebrities Heehee. Good show- I hope it does well.

And having the boss and his wife was bearable. Even if he did smoke and stink my car out! And at one point the bosses wife gave me her handbag to hold :??: whilst she went to the toilet. Bit I didn't even consider looking for that £20 again ;)

Best conversation of the night. My OH talks about the boss' wife
OH: She has lost weight though
Me: Oh she has lost weight. I wasn't sure if it was just those really tight jeans squeezing everything upwards!
OH: Me-ow! :))

Wedding Singers and Birthday stresses

by cj592 @ 2008-05-13 - 17:43:32

My Oh and I are going out tonight- to the theatre. we are going to see 'The Wedding Singer' in Eastbourne. I am looking forward to it, I have vague recollections of enjoying the film. The tour is a preview before it goes into the west end. Anyone famous int? Nah! Just Jonathon Wilkes- famous for being the friend of Robbie Williams.
The down side is... we are going with my OH's boss and his wife. The same woman who... took that twenty pounds out of my OH's wage packet without asking! She is a strange lady. She got stressed in planning her daughters birthday party, five months in advance- and all they did was go swimming!
Still, it should be a good night... and if I happen to find a twenty pound note in her purse just lying around then all the better.

Unexplained lights

by cj592 @ 2008-05-09 - 21:22:50

There's a light outside our front door which we kept on during the night. But now something strange has happened. The light only works when the kitchen light is on. When we turn the kitchen light gets turned off, the porch light turns off! And we can't explain it!

Sorry

by cj592 @ 2008-05-09 - 20:13:50

I don't think I'm going to be able to make the blog meet tomorrow. I have lots of bits and pieces to get done this weekend. Plus I still haven't been feeling too well.. Sorry guys, have a good one.
(And have a drink for me)

The overly detailed journey of furniture

by cj592 @ 2008-05-07 - 19:19:10

I bought something on ebay and I'm not that happy. It is a piece of furniture. It was specifically chosen by my OH for her birthday. The eBay ad said "In store- ready for delivery" So I bought it Now!
Today I got an email.... "Sorry the item is not available at the moment, but we are due to have a delivery in 2-3 weeks" And that annoyed me. If they didn't have it, they shouldn't have sold it.
So I phoned them. The guy I spoke to, as nice as he was, was a little bit long winded. His attention to detail was a bit too much. "Well, I am nervous about guaranteeing the delivery time. It is being shipped in you see. And the thing about ships is.... it is under the influence of the weather. There could be bad weather at the docking port. Or there could be bad weather on the departing port, or there could be bad weather on the journey." I didn't need to know that! All I wanted to know is when would it be due. I also wanted to know if I would be guaranteed one when they came in. And he response was this...... "Hold on, I have my log book right in front of me. Well. not exactly in front of me, it is slightly to the right" Why the hell would I need to know the exact position of the log book on his desk. "Well, we get shipments regularly. And our warehouses get full quickly. I have two warehouses, and I have just had the floors done." Really? That is such a relief! It is nice to know that, assuming the item makes it through the bad weather in either port or journey crossing, and assuming that my name is logged in the book which is slightly to the right of his sitting position, that it would be safe in a warehouse with brand new floors!
My God!
At least I know that my name is in the log book
..
.. A book, that is apparently one and a half inches thick!
I think that guy was one and a half inches thick!

Catching up, catching colds and being caught by the police

by cj592 @ 2008-05-05 - 13:25:38

I am managing to catch up a little bit today. For a start I have put my short reviews for the films; 21, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Drillbit Taylor and Made of Honour on my reviews blog.
I must admit I haven't been too well over this bank holiday. I was sick on Saturday morning, I think it may be a flu thing. I didn't feel too bad yesterday but I was ill again this morning :( Great! I was supposed to be seeing family this weekend, but they had to cancel due to other family members coming from miles away popping over. Just as well as I wouldn't have felt up to it. I have also been a bit tired this week- what with the late nights. Getting in at 11pm on Tue and Wed after the concerts, then having dinner. Not getting to bed 'til gone Midnight didn't help.
But one thing I have been able to do is get onto GTA4. And man I suck at it! I keep getting caught by the gonads police. And losing all my weapons so I have to buy more! And my dates go really badly and I get beaten up easily too. this is more like real life than I was expecting. Hehe. But I am enjoying it- even thought the PS3 is screwing up some of the loading.

Oh, to be David Coulthard

by cj592 @ 2008-05-03 - 20:11:49

I have just watched the end of Mr and Mrs (Honestly, I didnt want to watch it but Doctor Who Confidential had just finished) and saw David Coulthard and his wife in the final.
She got asked a series of questions that he had to get correct when he returned from the 'booth'

One of the questions was "What is David's favourite house!" To even be asked that question is excessive!
She replied "Hmmmm. He may say Belgium, because that's where I live.... but he may say Monaco because that's where he lives. And the weather's nice, so I think he'll say Belgium!" How nice to be able to coose between Belgium and Monaco!

When He returned, he was asked the question, his answer was "Hmmm... I'd have to say the one in Switzerland, because of the mountains." Of Course! The one in Switzerland! How could she have forgotten!

Three houses! (Plus some other ones that might not have been so nice)

A horror filled day

by cj592 @ 2008-04-27 - 18:58:57

It's been a horror filled Sunday...
Firstly I watched Hostel, a film I recorded from Sky. It was gruesome! But I was pleasantly surprised that there was a vague plot- I thought it would just be gratuitous sex and violence (And I get enough of that at home)
Then I decided to do some ...... Ironing! (I know! The horror!)
The one good thing about ironing is that you can do it in front of the telly. So I watched Resident Evil: Extinction whilst ironing. On Blu-ray as well - wicked!
Then, when my OH came home- we watched Mr Bean's Holiday- which isn't really a horror- although some people would think so. And it reminded me just how good the song 'Crash' is. Even though Matt Willis sings it (And that's the horror- I actually like a Matt Willis song
