Well campers, another Christmas has been and gone, and I must say this has been one of the strangest Christmases (if that’s a word) I have had because it was the very first Christmas a girlfriend of mine had spent time with the family.

The family who insists on Natalie being called Miss Putin, who is a Chinese bird and also a spy. Apparently we are not meant to mention the salt mines, or the death of that man in London who got poisoned. But it’s all right as we have a starlin….

Yes the jokes get worse and go on and on, but nevertheless Natalie came to stay for Christmas, and it made things interesting. Nat was afraid of meeting Dad, as it is where my sense of humour comes from, in a more concentrated dose. Oh yes, you see why she was afraid.

Headline says it all, I hope everyone has got what they wanted for christmas and that we had a great time with our loved ones.

Campers, the last time i wrote anything long was quite a while ago. During the past few weeks there have been many ups and a few downs, and one doosy of a revalation which for the time being will go unrecorded. Suffice to say, it’s one of those moments where you stop, take stock of what you are doing and wonder what the hell to do now.

During the last few weeks we have had many christmas parties out, the last one being in telford last week, cortesy of Capgemni and Fujitsu, Glyn to answer your question about how i can afford to go out so often, it was a free piss-up! Who would miss that?!?! There was quite a lot that happened that night too, the highlights of which included Speaking in a high voice from heillum ballons, drinking far too much, catching up with all the people I had met throught out the year during my time in dts, NTSM and of course Backup and recovery from january. It was amazing.

Got to feel Laura’s arse again which was nice on the silk dress she had on. We got to get funky on the dance floor to all the classic (well sort of) 80′s songs from a live band, best song was Something got Me Started, love simply red so that had to be done!

Stayed at Chris’ flat just round the corner from the international center where the party was, and had even more to drink with friends and even enjoyed a smoke. (of what I’am not telling But by the time I got up, there was no damn way in hell I was getting up before 12. My head was that gone, I couldn’t even lift it up wihtout a huge pounding. Chris, is a morning person and when you are dead, it is annoying. Though he did get us breakfast, proper bo. We spent most of the day recovering and watching Stargate of all things

Did a bit of christmas shopping and then proceeded to shrewsbury, where i caught up with Steve again at his flat with all the people from the LAN party that happened way back August. Lost badly at buzz, then won, had a chat with dave from work again, and went home after a while as I had work on the saturday. That and I needed more sleep!!

Saturday passed without too much trouble. DId an update to the Active directory schema and service packed a server. WOW!

Saw mum and dad, and had a good chinwag. They again came to stay the weekend and again were gone by the time I woke up on sunday. Which leads us to more christmas shopping and Natalie. We were out in Shrewsbury as it was a nice day. Spent again far too much, and I am not overdrawn again despite just getting paid. Tis a financial quagmire I am in atm. But nothing that cannot be fixed by a couple of months staying at home more, and just doing some overtime at work.

Things happened during sunday, and some good, 1 bad and 1 piece of news which I know is going to royally piss off a dear friend. Tis complicated this life isn’t it? I suppose you never think things happen to you until it actually does and then that is when you start thinking about where you are and what comes next. Pretty deep ain’t it?

Well enough bollocks, let’s move on campers. There was more to tell about the other things which have happened (i mentioned them in the quickies, ohh err ) but alas I will write about it tommorow, as it is late and mr fat guy is tired.

Peace out.

QUICK NOTE

BWAHAHAHA!! I have only 2 assignments to go! one big one has been handed in monday, and now only the web, of which i have done the majority of the work, only testing to do and systems anaysis to go!!

Other notes, Dave and Chris are coming to visit, big doo in telford tommorow of which i fully intend to get slaughtered. Off Friday and monday which is nice!

I will write more at the weekend as I will have the time, despite being at work it will not take that long and I can tell you all about the past three weeks in more detail!!

Glyn I have read you blog, and yes well done on more updates, and yes I will get that list of stuff you wanted done sir!! My schedule is opening up slightly now and i will sort it!

That’s all for now, will write more, promise!!

The website that I have been messing around with for the last few weeks for uni is up on the interweb for all to laugh at, hosted at a free provider with no ads too! I hate Golf even more now that I did before. It’s a shit sport and so it is only fitting that a shit website is created for it.

look now: Linky

It is my first ever php site linking to MYSQL, with a tiny bit of CSS thrown in for good measure, the site design could be a hell of a lot better, but the tutor has looked at it and the only major letdown for A accross the board is no shopping cart.

Yet to do the documentation for it, but that will come in time now.

As for more interesting news, The weekend brings a couple of meals out with dancing and looking like a prat. Friday is Shrewsbury Night, with People from work, and then across to sunny cheshire oaks for more food, more dancing and looking more like an arse than a prat. That would be with Simon, Jo, Dave, The two people who never want to be mentioned again here(it’s a ongoing joke for me) and a few others from that time in Liverfool. Wonder what that will be like….

Natalie sold her first painting this week in Shrewsbury, made a few bob, and drinks are on her!

The book, is still being re-written with new situations and far far more detail. Of course with all the uni work, and social stuff it’s just been silly. Seems i have been trying to do too much at once.

I intend to go to the gym (did read gyn here, cheers steve!!) next week as well for the first time in ages. Simply put I am only in work 2 days, and off the rest. With what I have to do work wise, i think the time has come to get off my arse and well, at the least, lear at the ladies once again.

Haven’t got around to telling you about the house party last weekend. Dear me, slacking away, and i need to write it down at least here, as it is good shit for the book!! My mind is fading away…who are you again?

Have to go, becuase i said so. As always campers, enjoy yourself and this week, why not try jam? It’s the reason to live.

Just a footnote really this fine sunday afternoon in brief form

Uni Work still ongoing, as always lots to do.

Normal work, ahahaha, I basically stopped a project in it’s tracks until the work I wanted was done. Power is good in the wrong hands….

Social Life: Went to a House-Warming party of one Ms laura camp (don’t know what her name will be now she is getting divorced), got a wee bit drunk, won at Buzz, sang badly, bounced on a trampoline, and saw Steve the most drunk I ever witnessed. Last I saw him, he locked himself in the toilet for sleep. Saw the infamous shower that was refered to in lots of randy emails during the week (don’t ask). Lots more, but this will do for now

Mum and Dad celebrated their wedding aniversary, and I didn’t forget it this year. So that means another year of peace.

That’s it for now, a full round up will appear here soon campers, keep on rocking!
