Well, just about recovered from boxing day. Was a very good night! Ended up in Liquid with Ste, Tony, Shannon, Jeff and Tonys giiiiiiiirlfriend lol, had a blinder and had the worlds worst hangover all of yesterday. Aside from that i havent done much! Spoke to Matt today, so im going to be getting a lift back to Swindon with him on the 1st January, works out best as it means i dont need to lug my 20Kg speakers with me on the train lol. Peace.

Well, not really done much to be honest! Had a lodger on the Thursday and Friday nights again So didnt do much except watch TV, chill out and have a few bevvies! Got the train home on Saturday morning for Xmas, and ended up bumping into Mr Bradley at the station, so at least i had someone to chat to on the way home! Got home at 6pm on Saturday, and have spent every evening so far in the pub lol. Went to Vegas on Xmas eve with Ste, Wonky,Aidy, etc. It was pretty good, but i wasnt really in the mood for a big one, even though i did get destroyed!!

Boxing day tonight, so we’re going round Wigan dressed up -Shambo and Wonky and co are going as the Jackson 5 (minus 1) and me and Steveo are going as prisoners for a laugh lol. Will be a good laugh, if we dont get stabbed!

Well, works been the same recently so not much to report back on their except im going to be getting involved in some very interesting stuff soon with virtualisation.

I spoke to my course tutor the other day, and the new ‘networking course’ that was propose has been ratified Meaning i am now on the BSc (Hons) Computer Networks course, woohoo. Its a lot better than my old course, and a lot less programming - so im very happy.

Had the intern ball on Wednesday at The Steam - and defamatory remarks aside (bite me), that place is the biggest rip-off, most extortionate, biggest pile of SHIT ever graced by my presence. Example - there were portaloos - inside the venue! Not even real toilets! It was a 2 course meal, no dessert! No table wine! Cheapest bottle of wine was £15! Absolute jokes. And we paid £50 each! NEVER EVER go to the Steam Museum if you live in Swindon, pleaseeee.

Aside from that, i’ve been spending more and more time with Fran, she’s stayed at mine / me at hers for like…4 out of 7 days recently, so we’re getting pretty close - so fingers crossed i dont blow this one! lol. Im going home tomorrow for Xmas, which will be fun - although it means ive got to spent another 4 hours on a sodding train. Im hoping to take my laptop with me though so at least i can play a few games to keep me less-bored hehe.

Didnt do much this week except chill out! Had dinner with Fran on tuesday which was nice, and had the IT Ball on Thursday with Cooney, Gibbs and Moger etc. Was a good laugh, although the music was awful! Friday night i went round Frans for ‘dinner’, but didnt actually eat as she didnt buy anything lol Got up today and came back home, and have generally been chilling out! Its bloody freezing!

Im pretty sure everyone knows who this is about, but im not going to explicitly say anything just yet…

Every Day
Im not quite sure how to say this,
or what im trying to achieve,
whether you’ll smile and lean your head,
or whether you’ll stand and leave,
i dont know how to say it,
but im sure of what to say,
I want you to be mine and mine only,
to kiss and hold each day,
i’ve been holding off saying this,
as im unsure what is best,
but ive had to let it out tonight,
and get these feelings off my chest,
i know that theres a risk,
you’ll turn and walk away,
but i hope to god that im wrong,
so you can be mine to hold each day.

Well, didnt really do much last week Thursday night we went out for Gibbs/Raj/Brads birthday. Brad got a dirty pint and pink wig, Raj got a dirty pint with added chilli sauce, and Gibb got a blow up doll full of haribo! Was a good night, and i spent most of it with Fran so i was pretty happy Friday was spent relatively hungover, and not much work got done /needed to be done. Decided to get the 5pm train, but the taxi i booked didnt turn up *wankers* so i missed it. Decided to take a different route, which didnt get me home any quicker so i only got home about 10.30pm which was interesting. Spent the rest of Friday with Zena watching television and generally dossing around!

Saturday mornin i got up, polished my shoes, shined the diamond cuffs and then headed off to Old Trafford for a meal with the guys from NetApp and VIP box seats for the Derby game. The meal was very nice actually; which was surprising given the pretention. The 2 main indicators for pretention in an establishment are the desert and the starters, which gave it away - but the main course was actually edible! There was Chataeuneuf-du-pape on tap all day, so we were well and truly wined and dined all day. After the game i headed home and chilled out, was going to go Alecs  with Gman and Tyrer to watch the Hatton fight but decided against it.

Sunday i came home at 1pm from Piccadilly. The train to Reading took 3.30hours and i had to stand up the whole f**king way. Which didnt impress me. Got home at 6pm-ish, so im nice and refreshed now - honestly…

Well, another week gone by and not a lot more has happened! Have been keeping my head down at work and doing my job, seeing as ive just joined a new department i figured its probably a good idea to work my arse off for at least a couple of months! Went out on Thursday with everyone, ended up in Revs with Jamal and co, had a good laugh. Takeaway afterwards was hilarious, J Russell, Jay, Andy, Me, Jamal and Lockwoods mate all in stitches at random shit - proper laugh though!! Chilled out on Friday night, before heading out at 2pm on Saturday for the Football AGM which was pretty brutal! Fran joined us mid-way through the day and Gibbs, Her and Me went for a ruby murray at Picklejohns which was fun (that tastes like coconut!!!!). Ended up meeting Denz and a few others in town, but got split up as me and Miss Cottrell decided to go off and do our own thing!! Sunday was a pretty chilled day, got up about 2pm after a late night and played Fall of Man with Jamal for like…8 hours straight, then went to bed, happy days. Now im back in work all week, but its Gibbs and Brads birthday night out on Thursday, so they are going to get destroyed !! (As will probably I). Also, going home at the weekend for VIP tickets for the Man United vs Derby game, then the Hitman fight afterwards! Get in.
