Oh no, not another one.

by cj592 @ 2006-10-31 - 20:35:20

My stupid A-Z thing

A- Have you ever tried Apple Bobbing? Yes! That was a lot of fun. Although I did have trouble getting my jaw around the apples
B- Did you ever buy a Boyzone single? Yes. The first one. Love me for a reason :oops:
C- What colour is you current footwear? Black socks
D- Do you feel like Dancing? Right now no. Not even when the old Joanna Plays
E- If your blog had to be editted, would that make you blog less? I don't think I would mind. I'm not sure I write anything that bad ;)
F- What is your favourite fish? Scampi, or even Monk fish
G- If there was a beanstalk that led to a Land of Giants, would you climb it?No way! I am way to much of a coward
H- Who is your hero? I think that any teacher that does a great job and still has a smile on their face at the end of the day is a hero!
I- Would you eat Octopus boiled in it's own ink? When it comes to food, I would try anything once
J- Are you a Jelly fan? Oh yes. Adult parties are so boring these days
K- Do you like Kinder Surprise eggs? They are such a let down. I remember one year when every toy inside was a Tiny Terrapin thing. Where's the surprise in that?
L- Would you ever consider a job as a Lion Tamer? Are you kidding? I wouldn't even climb the bloody Beanstalk

X- What do you think the value of 'x' is? Probably 2.4
Y- Ever written in to 'Why Don't You' when you were a kid? I used to watch it when I was a kid, but never wrote in. Although those fact sheets were always so tempting
Z- Are you in the 'Zone' right now? I think the 'zone' has passed me by :(

Anyone seen a blog about Halloween yet?

by cj592 @ 2006-10-31 - 19:33:13

Hehe. I have had a flick around some of my follow bloggers recent posts, and I'm surprised that noone has mentioned Halloween  :DD
Still it only comes once a year, and we don't really do it that big in this country, well at least I don't think we do. Although I was surprised how many people I heard organising Halloween parties at the weekend. But maybe that's just more to do with an excuse to have a party! :DD
But, just in case there are any Tricky Tweeters doing the rounds, I have a bowl by the door filled with lollies and sweeties. And I will be so upset if no-one comes round and we have to eat them ourselves. Last year we had a few early in the evening with their parents, but thankfully nothing like my first ever Halloween encounter. If there are some bloggers who weren't around last year, you can read about my Halloween horror here.

So is anyone having a spooky party? Or are we all turning the lights out to pretend we're not in ;)

How the Pentecost Pumpkin nearly came about

by cj592 @ 2006-10-31 - 19:16:57

Back in the Dark ages, two pumpkin sellers sat by the roadside.

"No one is buying these stupid vegetabes, Piddleman"
"What can we do, Urinearo? Everyone is much more into carrots. These pumpkins are so big and heavy, hardly a convenience food. EVeryone wants Carrots. 'All the colour of the pumpkin, but only a tenth of the calories'"
"What we need is a gimmick! Something that will make people buy them"
"WE could cover them in tinsel and sell them as Christmas Pumpkins"
"But Christmas has already got Pudding and Turkeys"
"WE could cover them in chocolate and sell them as novelty Easter Pumpkins"
"Nah! The Easter Bunnies have the monopoly on Easter."
"What we need is a fresh idea, some new holiday that hasn't already got a food involved"
"Ascension Day? Whitsun? Pentecost? Hey, the Pentecost Pumpkin!"
"Now you're just being silly. Perhaps our good friend Ween can help. And here he is."
"Hallo, Ween!"

Well, it could have happened.

Have you had a good holiday? Did you do anything nice?

by cj592 @ 2006-10-30 - 20:03:20

First day back and I am knackered! Plus having this cold doesn't help. My OH keeps feeling guilty because she gave me the cold. I wonder if I can play on it to get a nice cup of tea from her ;)

Whenever I go back to work after a holiday, there are two questions I always hate to hear and I get them so many times. And they are....
"Have you had a good holiday?"
Do people really want to know? "Well it wasn't bad until I ended up with food poisoning and started spewing my guts out everyhwere, which is not pleasant in a public loo (Especially a ladies) And now I have this cold...." or should I just say "Yeah it was good"

And the second question always seems to follow the first...
"Did you do anything nice?"
I always seem to fall down on this one, especially compared to others. I want to be honest and say "Yeah I had a great time sitting around doing nothing but vegging in front of the TV and playing computer games" but I know they will only respond with "Oh we spent a week in the Himilayas saving the lesser spotted smow elk from extinction". And I know if I do tell the truth I will get the response "Oh well, sometimes it's good just to do nothing" as if it's a rarity, when really that's how I spend most of my holidays.

So the next time someone asks I will say that I am fine and I spent the last week up the Himilayas saving them from people intent on saving them from extinction!

Ghosts wobbling tables, Canem good and death by being feebly poked with blunt swords.

by cj592 @ 2006-10-29 - 21:33:02

It's Sunday night and we have finally finished that apple pie. That's three nights it has lasted, and it was lovely :)
I have finally succumbed to being a bully- But only on the Playstation. That's right I bought that new controversial game 'Canis Canem Edit' I am sure it's going to annoy some people, but I don't care. I enjoyed GTA: San Andreas and other games of that ilk. It's got a 15 rating and I am over 15, andI really don't think it's going to turn me into a real life bully! But whatever the publicity, it certainly hasn't hurt game sales. They were practically sold out in the shops. I bought one of the last copies and the shop-keeper kept another one for himself. However I did see a twelve year old whining to his mum to buy it for him, and she did! Hmmmm :-/

What's on tonight? Well, I am going to succumb to another one of my sad desires and watch some Most Haunted live. IT's the Halloween specials. I am hoping that this time they will catch something on camera :DD. It does make us laugh now, when the go Table Tippng. Why on earth would a ghost want to wobble a table?
That does mean I will have to wait til later in the week for Torchwood. I did think I hope they repeat Torchwood some time, but they do... several times.
Talking of supernatural things, I watched last nights episode of Afterlife, and WOW! that was good. Alison finally coming to terms with her past, and the spirit of her mother. Great stuff!

I also managed to watch yesterdays episode of Robin Hood. It is amazing how clean they all look. And that baby, how come it never moved when it cried. I am sure it should have got brain damage the way they threw it around so much, even if it did look a little bit..er...wooden. And I would have thought that the sheriff ould have stopped holding people in Nottingham castle, because they are always being rescued. Or at least have the gallows at the back and nowhere near the main gate! And why did the guard not suspect something odd about a cart coming in in the middle of the night, just big enough to hide someone in. Stil, it did have the very first death of a merry man... apparently. Although it looked like the guards were just feebly poking Roy with their blunt swords. Perhaps they were hoping he would die from laughing at their rdiculous attack.

Anyway, back to work tomorrow. Why do half terms go so quick? Countdown to Christmas now

Ten to Eight.

by cj592 @ 2006-10-29 - 10:42:04

At ten to eight, I started wathcing the X-factor repeats, which coincidentally is the number of acts it has gone down to.

I have caught up on the X-factor shows. It did tape (but only three hours)

The X-factor has a twist tonight. Two people are going, as this because the TV people have realised that there are less weeks up to Christmas than there are contestants!
So two acts have gone, the one with the smallest amount of votes is definitely leaving, which means the public are in charge for the first time!
The next bottom two must sing for their careers as per normal.
In terms of what was sung tonight, Leona was by far the best. I really want her to win now. Her performance of Summertime had my hairs standing on end.
Robert did a good job with Mr Bojangles and I quite enjoyed Kerry’s song; they can’t take that away from me.
I still like the Macdonald Brothers, and I liked their song, ‘I can’t take my eyes off of you’. However, they do remind me of wedding singers.
For Ray, I think someone put a 50-year old mind in a twelve your old head. Has he started shaving yet? I wonder if he will still be able to sing when his voice breaks.
Eton Road are still a bit weird, but OK. The rest were just dull. I don’t like Ashley much at all and Ben murdered the song ‘Smile’; what people see in them I don’t know.
The bottom three were Ashley, Dionne and Kerry. Dionne got the lowest and she is out! And the other two have to sing for their career! Come on judges, now’s your chance to get rid of Ashley…… Damn! Kerry has gone.

Oh well, maybe next week. After all, he got low votes this week (Maybe because he forgot the words), so maybe he will screw up next week as well.

How will my DVD cope with time travel?

by cj592 @ 2006-10-29 - 08:56:44

After being out for most of the day yesterday, I mised the X-Factor on TV. But I knew this wasn't a problem as it was going to be repeated later on on ITV2.
However I encountered a problem. Seting the DVD recorder for 0:00 to 1:45 wasn't much of a problem, but the results show was timed to go on from 1:45 to 1:20! Damn that clock going back, how will my recorder cope with time travel?
So I decided to do one long lock of recording from 0:00 to 3:00. Hopefully it will get it all in (but will it record three or four hours?)

Anyway, I am about to watch it, so don't tell me who goes. I am assuming that the Macdonald Brothers luck will run out soon.

I hope you all enjoyed an extra hour in bed

I have a nice apple pie but I do not have a bad pair of curtains.

by cj592 @ 2006-10-27 - 23:21:35

It's Friday night and, like a good pair of curtains, it has drawn to a close. Well, actually even bad pairs of curtains draw to a close as well- but I wouldn't admit to owning a bad pair of curtains.

We have devoured half of that apple pie, and I even managed to resist doing an 'American Pie' on it, much to the relief of my OH! But iw was very tasty (There were raisins in it too :) )

I have just seen a report about the next series of I'm in the Jungle, Make me a celebrity. And here is a who's who of likely Z listers going in...

Among the names being touted for the next run are Hollyoaks star Stuart Manning - better known to fans of the Chester-set soap as Russ.

He could be in line to join the likes of Miss Great Britain Danielle Lloyd, Peter Jones of Dragon's Den, Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan, sex guru Louise Van der Velde and model Michelle Marsh.

Now when I say 'Who's who', really mean to say 'Who? Who?' Because I haven't heard of any of them. Who watched Hollyoaks (Sorry Sarah) :DD

Soon it will be Halloween. I hope you have all stocked up o Trick or Treat Goodies. 'Cos it may be me coming round wearing my Scooby Doo mask ;)

Have you ever called anyone a berk? Ever wanted to know what you were really calling them? Well, the work berk is shortened from Berkshire Hunt... which is rhyming slang! So that's what you've been calling them! ;)

A load of tarts

by cj592 @ 2006-10-27 - 16:07:47

It's Friday and the half term has gone really quickly. Last night my OH and I went to see The History Boys and today we decided to mark our last day on holiday by baking something nice together in the kitchen.
And here it is, the apple pie that we made together...

apple pie

And, as always with pastry, there was some left over. Not wanting to waste any, we decided to create something extra.
And here they are
tarts

Some Blackberry and Apricot tarts. :)

Hmmm. Who said today was wasted? :DD

Pigs, Parrots and a day out

by cj592 @ 2006-10-26 - 18:34:44

Just a quickie to describe what we have done today.
We got up late and went out to Chartwell House- the home of Winnie the Pooh Winston Churchill. It was good fun and very interesting. I never know how great a writer/artist he was. He even had time to build his Garden wall.

Here are some of my favourite quotes from Churchill

From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.

When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

Buckets but no water, messages on display and the sudden need for a toilet.

by cj592 @ 2006-10-25 - 18:20:48

So we decided to go out for the day yesterday. We considered staying overnight, but things never turned out that way.
We left quite early, hoping to get the most out of the day as possible. We did notice that there was no water left in the screenwash bottle, so the first thing we had to do was to get to a service station to get some water.
There was one quite near home, the only one we knew about on the route we were going to take. When we got there, we parked up by the Air and Water section and looked around. We could find the air pump, but there was no water pump? So we went in and asked. "We need to fill up our screenwash, where is your water?"
"Oh we don't have any water" She replied.
"Oh"
"But I could get you a bucket?"
We declined the offer; I couldn't see us doing very well at trying to pour water into a small hole using a large bucket. So we decided to go to the next garage. I think it's the first time we've actually hoped for rain. so as we could clean the windscreen as we were driving.
In fact the next garage we came to was at our destination. We pulled up and decided to hunt for the water. We were surprised that we couldn't find it again.
"We need to fill up our screenwash, where is your water?"
"Oh we don't have any water". I couldn't believe this was about to happen again
"Oh"
"But there is a tap out back and a watering can in the yard." We decided to cut our losses and use the watering can. It would probably be a lot easier to direct water with than a bucket.

Anyway the day turned out quite nice. I managed to spot three of my favourite words "All Day Breakfast" and we had a wonderful lunch (Probably on hindsight, the sausages may not have been as cooked as they should have been). We spent some time shopping. There was one shop whose displays were somewhat... er.. unique. I asked my OH if people spend time deciding how to set up the displays, or whether they do it at random. She said that the displays are purposefully done.
"I see. In that case then someone displayed these mugs on purpose"
Well I won't describe the display, but I did take a mobile photo of them. See if you can see what I spotted in the mugs display.
bton2
One of the ladies serving saw me take the photo but did nothing. We popped back in later, and we noted that the display had been changed... they took the 's' away! :D
But the day was lovely. Nice and sunny! And then 5 o clock came. And with it, came the stomach pains! I really needed the loo! We decided to make our way back to ASDA and the car, but I knew I wasn't going to make it. So I rushed in to a nearby cafe and practically begged "let me use your loo" And did he let me? No! He just pointed me to a public toilet! So I rushed to the public toilet place, which was actually in a bus station. It was the sort of place that you had to pay 20p to use. When I got there, I said "Here's my 20p I need to use your loo!"
"Sure" Said the lady. "Oh, It looks like there is already someone in the gents. Don't worry, the ladies is empty"
I wasn't about to argue. She buzzed me into the ladies and I let rip! So there I was, being ill, in the ladies toilet in a bus station! And I did something I always wanted to do...... I left the seat up!
After that, and another 'attack' in the ASDA toilet, We decided to come home.
I still feel rough now.

Scary Woolworths woman and my nice clean shaven ears

by cj592 @ 2006-10-23 - 12:23:39

Well it’s Monday and it’s mid-day. Right now we are waiting for the Pasties to cook so I thought I would make a quick entry.
I am a bit annoyed at the moment. We didn’t go away today, seeing as the weather was going to be ‘rain’ all week. And today the weather is lovely. We could have been away and had a sun/rain day.
Anyway, back to today. We got up quite early because I wanted to get my hair cut and I remember how busy it got last time when I went to the barbers, and that was dead on opening time. I can’t imagine how busy a half term would be. So we got there just after 9am this morning. From a distance it looked quite quiet, and as we approached I got quite excited- there was no-one waiting! And then I saw the sign on the door. Closed! Damn! I would either have to find somewhere else or go the week with silly hair. Well I wasn’t going to go around with silly hair, and I didn’t want to visit my old Barber (Herr Kutting) as he had given me a dirty look when I bumped into him in Sainsbury’s. So there was nothing else I could do but try a new Barber, one that had recently opened. The Salon itself looked clean and nice, and there was no-one waiting, so I got done really quickly. He didn’t do a bad job, although I did start to worry when he got his cut-throat out- but he actually did a good job. And then he did something that I have never had done before… he shaved my ears! So there I was, sitting n the chair whilst he was sunning his razor over my lugs! It was quite funny.
Later on I decided to go to Woolworths. I needed to get a few bits and pieces; some superglue and some shoe laces. Well I found the superglue, but I couldn’t find the laces. So I approached one of the assistants, I didn’t go for one of the spotty youth type ones as they probably wouldn’t be able to help me; they would only shrug and say “Dunno”. So I approached an elderly woman, she was bound to help, elderly shop assistants are always helpful. Boy, was I wrong. She looked at me as if I was a piece of gum stuck on her shoe and grunted “upstairs”. I thanked her for her kindness and went upstairs in the search for Shoelaces. Whilst upstairs I spotted the scary Woolworths woman spying on me from one of the isles. What was she doing? Trying to make sure that I was actually looking for laces? And if she was going to come up, why didn’t she just show me where they were?
Eventually, I found the laces and paid for them at the till. Then I tried to leave. On the way out, I was admiring some stuff on display and I accidentally knocked over a couple of boxes from a trolley. Ooops I said and picked them up and placed them back on the trolley for the assistant to continue stacking. But guess who was doing the stacking… Yes! The scary Woolworths woman! She gave me the meanest stare ever “Er…sorry”, I said” I was just admiring the wonderful display work you were doing”. She rolled her eyes and I legged it!

Anyway must go soon, my pasties are ready.

He just Came and went

by cj592 @ 2006-10-22 - 23:16:28

It's Torchwood.
It's here. It's a bit silly, a bit sexy and an awful lot of fun. Although there are going to be some that will knock it for it's silliness, why not ust appreciate it for what it is and enjoy it. In the first two epsiodes we had sex, blood, an exploding rat, an orgamsic energy feeding gassy alien, Man/woman kissing, man/man kissing, woman/woman kissing and a lot of people getting powdered in a sperm donors clinic!
THere is quite a bit going on already. lots of questions to ask. Are we going to find out more about Captain Jack. What is the hand? Is it really the Doctor's hand which was cut off during the Sycorax invasion. Are people really still pretending not to believe in aliens even after the Sycorax invasion and the Invasion on the Cyberman (Army of ghosts). Great idea to mention them as it puts in a time line perspective. Where is Torchwood 4? Is it going to re-appear like Babylon 4?
And there has ben some great one liners, my favourite being the one from the title. I am bit concerned that Jack is now invincible after Super-Rose brought him back from the dead. Doesn't that mean he can really do anything? And I must admit that I like most of the characters- except Owen. What a cock- and did we have to see him naked?

Roll on the rest of the series.

A bit of rain on the way and trying to expand my life

by cj592 @ 2006-10-22 - 19:22:11

We're planning a night away. Just to get away. We can't decide whether to go for Mon/Tue or Tue/Wed or Wed/Thur. We cant have Friday as my OH is going back to work. So I checked the weather report:

Thur=Rain

So wshall we go for Rain/Rain or Rain/rain or Rain/rain?

And would you bloody well believe it? Friday looks like there may be no rain. :>

I am also looking to get a sims 2 expansion pack. I have only got the original at the moment, so I am thinking about the University one and the Glamour life one. Does anyone have any expansion packs and suggest a good one? One with more career choices and good new items?

Odd day so far

What a funny day it has been so far today. Firstly the whole blog thing going wrong was bizarre. I wa unable to leave comments or have comments left- but it didn't affect everyone. I wonder what the conenection was between those who had trouble? And not being able to blog and leave commennts felt really weird. Like I had been cut off or outcast :DD

And it's wird (in a nice way) having my OH here. Normally I would be up at 7 with her as she goes off to work- but we really had a nice lazy morning. SO we wacthed the Golden Girls together :D Then we decided to watch a nice movie about boats.... called Poseidon. And who'd have thought- they had a few problems too.
And someone else having problems... Rafael Benitez. What are Liverpool up to at the moment? Another tit's up performance. PLease do better, guys, It's making my head hurt!

And now blogs back on and I am waiting to see the end of the Ominbus Eastenders because I want to know how Friday's episode ended.

WOOHOO
