Hey there,
Well I got my start date for my job in Manchester! I Start in a month, which is fantastic! I am very excited. I have now been forced to get another Temp job. Which I am happy about cos I will be able to pay for things now but this job is in Manchester no bad thing its just in the wrong place in mancester just far enough in to get caught in a bottle kneck of traffic within a two hour window of the rush hour. Having it taken me an hour to make a 25 mile journey, which by my rough calculation is an average of 25mph which is not acceptable I decide that although the temp job is easy and mindless and the people seem nice enough the next 3 and a half weeks cannot pass quickly enough.
Some people get NOS fitted to their car I am considering getting laughing gas fitted to try and blot out the knightmare commute!!!
Enough of my ranting!!!
I arrived home and did some random cleaning and washing to calm down! I am about to hoover then my calm zen transformation is complete.
I am missing Andy this week more than usual and he has only just gone away and is only away two nights! I dont deal with new things well and like him being there to make the new things seem all good.
Good night all

Day Three In The Village
Well I am on Day 3 of my enforced week maybe weeks off till I start my new job in the Comms at Manchester!!! I never actually thought I would say this but I am missing being at work. Yesterday I cleaned my flat did all the shitty jobs I was putting off while I was working because in my mind I was far too busy!! I have all my washing done and throughout various locations in my home it looks like a laundry, I almost expect to see immigrant workers ironing in my bathroom there are that many clothes hanging around!
I went and picked up brake pads for my car something I have been meaning to do for weeks as the car is having increasing problems stopping, and finally at about 4pm yesterday I ran out of things to do!!!
I am now waiting in for a new mobile phone to be delivered as my nice pretty slim great phone has a terminal epidemic fault and my provider has said that its broken and they have to send me a different model phone! I am gutted but also slightly excited as it will kill an hour to reprogramme the new one get my theme and wall paper etc personalised in a very anally retentive way specifically for me!!
My mother stopped smoking on Monday, something which I did before Christmas, which although I know is good as smoking may be bad for you but I decided after taking my mother to the stop smoking clinic i realised that I actually enjoyed it. I am not going to start again as that would be just silly now but I realised that I no longer have a vice/addiction. I don't drink much I think that drugs are the worst thing on the planet I watch what I eat and now don't smoke.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a vice I can adopt, I think this maybe the solution to my time.
Also to add insult to injury whilst parking at the smoking clinic I reversed into another car. It was an old mini so compared to my golf I didn't have a chance to see the smallest most pointless car on the planet did I? He should pay me for damaging this pointless little piece of shit. I literally could not see it behind me via looking or in a mirror. I saw it the same as squashing a bug!! The guy jumped out of the car hissing swearing, full red faced the lot, I thought to myself I may have a fight on my hands here, my mum was hissing to me "let him hit you, then you can put a claim in" I do feel however it would be like falling and not putting your hands out to save yourself, allowing yourself to get hit!!
I jumped out the car and as soon as the guy realised that I was over a foot taller than him he kind of calmed down!!
My bumper was cracked and his grill was dented and his indicator cover was broken pretty minimal really. I was calm, he was screaming at me ish basically asking me why I was not mad! I simply said to him that I have more important things to worry about than a cracked piece of plastic and If I didn't I might as well kill myself as I am sad!!
Its not like the engine was damaged the car still moves. Of course I am slightly miffed but its a car, hardly a life or death situation!!
Here are the pictures of the damage I caused, I made sure I photographed the scene/evidence!!!

Here are the pictures of the damage I caused, I made sure I photographed the scene/evidence!!!Going back to my boredom, I was informing Andrew whom is in Bristol with work, about my cabin fever, he suggest a arts and craft hobby like basket weaving!! I took this suggestion under my belt but have modified it slightly! I have decided to target my community where I live. not the best location with far too many Chavs for my liking! I now feel that to improve the 'Arts' and overall aesthetic appearance of my village It is my civic duty to eradicate the CHAV to this end I taking up the hobby of Shooting Chavs, I feel a much more worth while craft that making baskets!!
I have also pulled a muscle in my back, I dare say I wish to blame the gym! I really need a massage but refuse to pay!! I have therefore three options, try to massage my self, but I feel this may result in further injury, wait for Andrew to return on Thurs or contact my personal trainer friend and make him fix me, this would involve breaking my village prison and venturing into another town!!! Am I ready to do this after this enforced confinement!!
I have been looking at flats in Manchester also a very exciting option as I love moving, I hate packing but love moving as I get to organise a whole new home!! I don't know if Andrew is ready for this process!! I am sure he will get on board!!
Anyway I may update later in the programme!!
I wish myself happy Chav hunting!!!!!!!!

10.20 On the last day
Well its finally my last day working within the midst of the NHS. I cannot say this has been a bad job because the people are nice and it has allowed me to buy stuff and pay rent. I am looking forward to the next chapter in this never ending book that is my life!
I may have a few weeks off now before I commence my job in manchester so I intend to fully pass the time by going to the gym as a full time job and watching TV, a worthwhile cause I feel. I mean I can watch all the shit day time shows then go to the gym watch more afternoon shows they go the gym again. I fully intend to be slim toned and a bronzed adonis by the time I take on my new role......Earlier description open to change if for example I fail on this health mission!!
I am attending my leaving do tonight...suppose I have to go. I have sceduled a meal how civilized in a local new eating place. I am hoping they have a good wine list as I intend to drink it all!!
Going looking at a flat in Manchester in the morning which I will have to do completely hung over!!!
Its mine and Andrews 6 month Anniversary tomorrow so we are going out for a meal tomorrow evening, which should be good because it covers two of my favourite things.... Pubs and Food! (Oh sorry and Andrew of course)
Later in the programme people

The Final Week
Hello All,
Well I am on my last three days at my current job and still no start date for my new one. I could so easily freak out right now but my life is like a soap opera so there is too much going on for me to worry about one thing too much!
I attended an interview in London last week well a job related assessment. I had to process a mock crime scene and interview a witness, it was for a CSI job my dream the only issue is its in London and the salary is not too great! I really need to find a long lost member of the family whom lives in London with a spare room or somebody whom wishes to share with me and accept minimal monies as payment for rent!! Anyone rich out there?
Plus this option messes with mine and Andrews plans to rent somewhere in Manchester on commencement of my new job there, which I am still going to do regardless as HR procedure for the police takes months, now you are understanding a little why everything is so complicated.
After the assessment I convinced myself I had not got an interview and decided this was the best thing all round and that moving to London was not a job for this year.
My mobile phone rings yesterday and I have got an interview next Thurs, so I started panicing once again. I have decided that what ever happens I shall attend this interview and do my best as deep down I really want this job but even if I don't take it I will be content knowing I am good enough for the Mecca of the MET police and once I have done it once I can do it again when I am ready!
So to add another complication I have got an interview for Scouseland police working with venerable witnesses on the 28Th April then the postman whom I am quickly thinking is the propagator of my complications brings another interview for The North West working as a Fingerprint examiner once again on the 28th. So I now have yet another option and working scenario to obsess about I now have to cancel one interview. I will more than likely sack the Liverpool one off to be honest.
On a good note we think we have targeted an apartment block to live in. Its on Salford Quays and is very modern and clean and fresh a dream for me whom loves things very clean!!
Does anyone have advice about this episode of my life?

Wednesday
Well yesterday I found out that I am finishing at the NHS next Friday they have found some poor unfortunate soul to do my job!! May got have mercy on their souls!
I then will more than likely have two weeks off then start my new job!
I then had a very odd evening I developed a headache, which I swear was my brain trying to escape my head. After several mixtures of several types of pain killers I had sufficiently killed most of my brain off therefore I came to the conclusion problem solved!
I spoke to Andrew at bed time he is away with work, he really does work hard, well in theory anyway he he.... only joking!
So on Wednesday at work I decided that most of my energies should be put to good use and decided the location for my farewell meal and many drinks with work. I reviewed pubs and restaurants close enough to my house so I can make a sharp exit if the evening is going the way of the dinosaur but far enough so it actually feels like a night out he he.
I opted for a new pub on a swanky new housing development. I am hoping for lots of false promises about good food and service, so I can shout and the dilatory waitress and get the meal for free!! Not that I am cheap!!!
I then composed the email invite which I forwarded around the office. I shall now spend my morning tomorrow following up the replies.... No wonder the NHS nearly grinds to a halt with employees like me!
I then returned home, and telephoned Orange, whom provide me with my mobile phone. It has been playing up and they keep saying to me that its my phone and they want £70 to send me a new phone. Of course this has not been good enough as I already pay them enough. After several phone calls they finally admitted that their product may be programmed wrong, so they have couriered me a new phone and will be here tomorrow evening between 6-10.
I am now watching Family Guy Season 2, which I am really rather enjoying! I like this kind of mindless comedy, although I still cannot figure out how much they understand of what Stewy says???
Can anyone help?

Saturday Night At The Movies
Despite the title I am not going to the movies this evening, just going to have a little wander into Preston or Prestonia as a reader quoted. I neglected to bring smart shoes so unfortunately I can only attend the fun bars close to Andy's house. What a shame I cant venture into the full city centre and deal with the nomadic drunks that frequent the centre bars!!!
I ordered some lounge wear from Aussiebum the other day unsure if this means I can only wear it in the lounge but I fully intend to rebel against this title and wear them to bed!! They are a simple pair of shorts on a dark olive/khaki colour and I think they are jolly nice!! I preempted this order by purchasing a similar colour vest top last week! Co-ordinated even going to bed!!
I received my train ticked for my day trip to London on Friday only to discover they have not reserved me a seat on my journey going!! I will not be in the mood to fight for a seat so some nice person better take pity on me!! Suppose its not like some countries where the train is filled twice and people end up on the roof..... or lease I hope its not!!!
Will post more tomorrow my mind has gone completely blank!!!

Tuesday -2.5 official Olympic Score
So after a very mundane 1.2 from the russian judge at the hell hole NHS i discover that my trip to the pub has been canceled by default because noone is attending, which I am glad about in one way because my home is untidy and been playing on my thoughts today!
I arrive home decided to bypass the gym as I feel moderately like crap and see at the top of my stairs a small parcel. This could be the thing that will improve my day exponentially. I rush in and open to find 4 energy saver light bulbs, not the gift I was hoping for but nevertheless free so I welcome it!
The back story to this is I have opted to change electricity supplier as they boasted a 50% saving. The accompanying letter stated that I have been put on the Age Concern tarrif!!! This instantly put my day to a minus figure. So a little irate i phoned Eon up and enquired did they think I am 65 and over the hill and needed to be kept warm to insulate my tired old bones?
The guy did however back fill this hole very quickly, he explained that this tarrif is available to all the he put me on it because I get free stuff like bulbs and monoxide detectors etc. I ended the call thanking him........... even though I was still borderline insulted!
I then cooked a frozen pizza and my father interupted to bring me a new iron a bargain he had to but for me!! Why I ask???
As requested a job update::
In regards to the job in Manchester my security clearance has come through and now my references are being checked then I can finally start. Although I do have an interview in London on the 11th for an even better dream job working as a Forensic Scientist Geek (my dream), I have already sceduled coffee with LP to discuss the events from the previous weekend priorities set of course! I am also looking forward to this to get to know him and maybe I might be more chatty this time!
To top off my very lower than average day I walked into the bathroom and nearly trod on a huge spider which I hate, they are vile minions of satin, A fear that I must address someday but today is not that day. After shrieking like a girl the spider ran off into a hole behind my toilet. I am not a bit anxious about having a number 2 incase it jumps out to torment me! The battle may be lost for this night but I will win the war!
I now fully intend to relax and more than likely speak to Andrew when he gets back to his hotel room he is in Bristol today with work!
Good night all

The Weekend In The Big Smoke
I have had the best weekend. This weekend I met my mans best friend whom I had heard lots about. We arrived just after tea and after out train ride and the brief trip on the sewer train, which was much nicer and clean after the last time I was in out nations capital we arrived at our accommodation for the weekend! We decided to get a beer and assess the food situation as I have a nut allergy and eating out is always a disaster. In the end we opted for KFC and met LP and retired to the comfort of his gracious drawing room.
LP is exactly how Andrew had described and I can see why Andrew keeps him on side as a best friend. LP is alot more charming than Andrew said with an addictive personality!!
I was very quiet to tell the truth which Andrew told me was very unnerving as I don't usually shut up. I didn't want to promote my loud mouth on the initial visit I feel my unique mind is something that is best to be introduced to slowly he he I decided to dial down the crazy!!
LP left us to it as his beloved man was suffering with man flu and he attended to attempt a Florence Nightingale bit! This lasted an hour as the patient seemed beyond repair.
The next day I demanded a more tourist approach to the day and me and Andrew visited the Cabinet War rooms a prospect that I am sure excited sad little old me more than him but in true British style he kept a stiff upper lip! In the evening time we went out with LP to meet his boyfriend (the incubus of some kind of plague) and another of his friends whom I think goes by the name of Mean, we went to a coffee shop for some late night caffeine. Considering we were all gay men there was very little drama and a chill out out night was had by all. I was more than impressed with the calorie control dedication demonstrated by LP when devouring a choccie muffin, the taste was savoured then the contents ejected into a tissue! Me and Andrew finished off the evening by wandering around Old Compton street.
I must say I am impressed by the nations capital these days so clean and I felt safe... Well done labour!!
Although I did find this odd man on the tube
I must attract all the odd people goin!!!
On sunday this consisted of a slow start thanks to BST beginning and us losing an hour, but after more wandering around we met LP and his friend a most pleasant lady for a coffee at apostrophe, I know its childish but I want to start a rival chain called comma!!!!
There i witnessed the most solidified hot chocolate of my life which had to be eaten with a spoon rather than drank. Maybe its endorsed by skint dentists to drum up more cavity work. It certainly looked impressive!
It was then a quick tube back to LP abode pack and off back to Euston for the train home!
Today has consisted of washing and faffing and we cleaned both our cars out!
Overall I hope I managed to make a good impression on my mans best friend as its important to me that we get on as I know how important he is to Andrew! Am waiting for some all important feedback!
Will update once I have processed my weekend too much to write in one sitting

Holiday Monday!
I am becomming very down in the dumps about having to go back to work tomorrow after 4 days off. Especially since I have moved offices and this will totally mess up my obsessive compulsive traits as nothing on my desk will be where it was in fact it wont even be my desk and it will be in another building!! I spy a day of stressing about how things just are not in order approaching!! I must take lots of coffee and chocolate with me to distract!
I have had a great easter weekend. On friday night I went fot a very Chez posh meal with Andrew at a restautrant I used to run. It has gone so fancy since I left maybe they were trying to tell me something? I had duck breast with a potato yes a potatoe some carrots and a gravy thing, and Andrew had vennison with pretty much the same potatoe and veg combo, althoug he has the sense to order a side order of chips!! Andrew did bring the tone down to a more comfortable level by ordering off the cocktail menu to be served to us in the restaurant, I was more than impressed with his brazeness (crappy spelling I Know).
Today we went into preston after a lazy start of watching Hull FC get beaten again at rugby!!
I had spotted a bag in a suit shop that I am convinced I have to have, when I start my new job I decided I would need some kind of luggage to carry my lunch, etc with me and this bag seems perfect. Its brown leather sort of messanger bag very retro with a brass dunlop logo on the corner. I intend to take it to london next weekend to trial its user friendly features!! Andrew said it was a bargain at only £12. We then saw it for £20 in debenhams and £19 in republic!! Double bonus!!
I really do think that in 20 years men will have full bags all the time just like women do today! It is so unfair that men are expected to carry around junk in two flaps of material at the top of thier thighs when a woman is allowed to carry a bag of infinate size!!
BIG UP THE MAN BAG PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
Later Potata!!!!

Tuesday 15th of Marcheo
Well I am day two into the four day week, thank Christ for bank holidays. I am looking forward to this one as it’s the first one I have ever had off work with one thing and another. I am not sure what to do with a 4 day weekend!!! Any suggestions?
I have just eaten my lunch at work and I had every intention of being very healthy and brought a low fat tin of some pasta and sauce stuff. But by the time lunch time came a packet off crisps and a coffee seems like a much easier option than opening a tin putting it in a bowl and then serving it up!!
As mentioned in a previous blog, I talked about my discovery of the new breed of power women! This became evident today in the office, when the power women collided over a struggle of power. In the 80’s this would have been a fight to the death and only the strongest super hero power woman would have won, however now with this whimsical mumsy power woman the build up to the even was great, the circling of the vultures, the venom spitting from each other mouths culminated in a fight which consisted of apologies and cups of tea coupled with hair highlighting tips. Agghhhhhhhhhhhh and still no decision was made!!!!!!!!! No solution to the problems……But its ok at least they got the name and address of a good hair dresser…. I am becoming despondent with the whole situation and decided they either need a good man to give them a good seeing to or a course of male hormones to reassert the aggressive power woman from days gone by!!!
Long live the shoulder pad !!!
I decided mid afternoon to take a consittudional in the sun to get me out of the flourscent light cell i work within. I decided to walk around the site and discovered to my amazement absolutely nothing of interest. Rows of parked cars and random people sneaking out of their office to have a sneaky cigarette.
I was wandering then out of the corner of my eye i saw a massive lorry driving down the road with what looked like a 40 ft licquorise allsort on the back. I was amazed and suddenly wondered if this is what it would be like to be a borrower, Anyone else remember that show?
Its mine and Andrews 5 Month anniversary tomorrow!! I am as happy as the day we met!

Monday -Thurs Condensed
I have had a pretty interesting week.
Well monday was the medical and apparently I can hear very well, So all these years when I was coinvicned that my lack of ability to hear anything anyone was saying is purly selective, people really need to keep my attention alot better!!!
Then I was up at 4am the next day to drive to Lincoln, I arrive at 07.30 a time usually spent sat in my kitchen at home waking up but this day I am wandering around a desolate but nice looking city centre!!
I have my interview and do my best, there were two internal candidates there so I dont hold out much hope. After the interview I realsied that my facination with lincoln is a little bit well a pipe dream, Yes when I lived there I had fun, but this town does not change, nothing happens there, Its like a safety town, I think I just associate this place with good memories hence why I like it.
I decided by the end that this is a nice place to visit but not to live!!
On thursday After work I headed to the Gym did a moderate work out with andrew then went to go meet my friend The Overlord for a brew at starbucks. I arrived early and ordered my coffee and sat alone in a corner viewing the room. This is one of my favourite past times, people watching. After several sips of my skinny I find myself staring at a group of woman sat around the table in front of me. They are a mixture of people, old/young, fat/thin, mumsy types, professional types all sat there gossiping! It took me several minutes but then I realiesed what was facinating me. There were all sat there knitting. Fuckin Knitting!!! What the hell is that about, In the middle of starbucks inside a huge book store there are these 10 women all sat there knitting away to their hearts content!!!
This is possible the most surreal thing I have come across in recent weeks!!
I then suddenly realised that society is wrong.
You would be arrested for carring around any weapon that was pointed sharp and like a foot long, classing it as lethal weapon, but there is nothing to stop these women carrying around foot long spears of wood!! I decided to keep my distance as one wrong word could possible push one of these women over the edge and I could end up empailed ofr worse with a set in my hand and a knitting pattern on my lap!!!!!

Sunday
Well its curently 9.20 pm and I am half watching Supernatural whilst typing this. Its such a great programe and the eye candy is not to shabby either!
I have got a medical assessment at the police assessment centre in the morning. I think its just a eye sight and hearing test, so that should not be a problem as long as my selective hearing and wandering vacant stare does not kick in. I really do try and keep those under wraps but so much these days bores me.
I am goin down south in a couple of weeks with andrew. I am getting very nervous as we are going to see his friend, whom I have heard lots about but am very nervous about meeting in the flesh! I am looking forward to going to London one of my favourite cities which I dont get to visit as often as I would like! I fully intend to enjoy every minute, I wonder if i can still watch CSI while I am there, would that be too rude!!!
Andrew is coming with me tomorrow for my medical because after we are going into manchester for a tad of shopping then a trip to the Ikea in Ashton as he wants to but this book case arrangement for his bedroom to replace the computer table as it is surplus to requirements after all his computer is attached to the tv of cinema sized proportions he now has in his bedroom.
So an evening of flat pack building is on the cards me thinks.
On tues I have to then drive to lincoln for another job interview. Its for my dream job as a CSI but I have very mixed feelings about a move there as I truly want to move to the city and this is moving backwards even furthur to the country plus it would be miles and miles away from andy. Good job but some bad points!!!!
Another item to add to the back catalogue for my brain to obsess about in the many vacant parts of the day!!
I swear its dangerous for me to be alone with my own thoughts. I really wish I could employ someone to make all my major life decisions, I cant decide what to have for food let alone life changing work decisions!!!!
Anways enough for this evening write to you all tomorrow!!!!

Saturday
Well last night was interesting. Andy told me on friday morning to be at my flat at 17.15 and be ready to leave and go somewhere else.
How criptic!!!! A Supprise!!!!
I duly arrived home got changed had a quick wash and got in his car and we were off down the M6 heading south. I was trying using my best Forensic analytical powers to pluck any information out of him. All he would say is that its gonna be good and it involved food... At this point I was content my stomach feeling like it was shrinking by the minutes and I would need a red cross food drop at any minute.
We arrived some 30 minutes later and parked down a side street. Only when facing the stadium I realised he had organised us to go watch his favourite Rugby team. I was so happy this was such a thoughtful supprise I had never been to see rugby and only understood the basics. Of course Andy is a mine of rugby info so I thought I would not struggle. I was afraid I would look like a total novice there but the game was great and within 30 mins I was into it and getting very irate when his team was not doing well! My second suppride which I was assured was food offered the gourmet dining of the Crispy Cod Chippy. Where as in the title served excellent crispy battered cod which was very nice. Calories not counted in this meal.!!!!
I actually really enjoyed the rugby, I have never been one for entertaining sports but there is something about this game. Rough and random yet elegant and controlled, and there is lots of men in tight shorts of course!!!!!!
On the way home he swung by ikea and 3 and a half days later we exit as per usual (Why can you not just nip in and out that shop) we are on out way to my house. I was completely exhausted so much so I was practically sleep walking by the time we got home!

Friday Thoughts
Not had a chance to write anything for over a week....
Well what have I been doing?
Well I have been hammering the gym under the close scrutiny of Andy. I am really enjoying it and amazing how good I feel although Monday to Thurs I am so tired.
Oh....news on the job front, I passed the interview and am currently being vetted (I know this sounds like some kind of medical procedure). So fingers crossed I am in and can finally start getting on with stuff again.
Well my temp job is starting to annoy me a little. I have discovered that the NHS is run by a new breed of power women. They are a mutation from the classic 80's power woman whom turned her back on the domestic life and donned a sharp suit and almost lesbonic features to become all powerful in this mans world. This new breed that I work amongst are a definite mutation from that strain. They are power hungry, but unfocused, still wear the classic mum attire and yearn to be pregnant all the time but unwilling to care for the children. This strange variation neither mum or power woman creates this ultimately hormonal person who can decide nothing without some kind of woman's meeting and extra support group making every minor decision making process a national event.
This concept kind of frightens me because you don't see this type of person coming. They look like your mum, a nice caring character but then turn out to rule the world. Personally this type is no good, lets go back to the original power women whom got the job done and squashed everyone in their way and made a whole generation of 80's children latch key kids!!!
Bring back the short spikey hair and the shoulder pad women!!!!!!

Wednesday 27th February
Hey
Well I actually had a very productive day at work. I tasked myself on the online system yesterday certain targets and I completed them. Which is very unusual! I think I just got bored and actually decided to earn my living today he he. There is still two more days in the week left to slack off.
I got a letter from my interview and I have been progressed to the next stage. I was most confused at this non descript letter till I received a telephone call from the Vetting department saying that I was being vetted and my references checked so I can providing they come back OK be offered a position. I was so excited I have told everyone I have bumped into.
As as added complication I still have an interview to attend next Friday for the well paid boring job. Plus I seen one in London I fancy the look of too. Andrew is going to help me fill out the personal statement I have the perfect examples he has the eloquent English writing skills to make it sound human.
Been hammering the gym in the vain attempt to make myself look like I have to body of a god. I ache all over but I think I can see an improvement all ready. My muscles feel tight and in the coming weeks I hope I start to tone up. Andrew is a great trainer!
Yesterday at the gym we did legs. I pushed myself as my legs are my strongest feature, and boy did i regret it today walking into work like I had either had too much sex or to put it bluntly shit myself. I had loosened up by this evenings session, and that's a gym session. I met Andrew after fighting my way through the rush hour traffic and we did upper body work out the second one this week . I felt a bit of a failure as i could not complete all the reps in the sets. Andrew assured me this is good as It shows I am working out to my maximum potential.
I am taking protein and creatine to help my muscles grow.
I leave the gym feeling great say goodbye to Andrew and set off home. I arrive home tired, after a busy day at work and a good workout to find my ceiling in my living room hanging off.
See Picture. My landlord is in the process of replacing my roof and the exterior of my flat looks like it is encased with mecano. I am less than impressed with this as it looks very unsafe and I don't like the idea of having my ceiling come falling down around me. England was struck by an earthquake last night so I am unsure if this is roof repair guy falling through damage or mother nature.
I rang my father whom is a structural engineer and he said was it there this morning after the quake. I said last time I was in my home it was 7.30am I was just happy I was awake and walking not looking at the ceiling. I mean what else can he expect at that hour!!!
He seemed to think by my very technical description that the ceiling is broken that its just superficial and just needs the plasterboard replacing. Just more faff and hassle. Does this mean I will have to re decorate???
Whilst downloading this picture from my mobile phone I also downloaded a picture that I took on my way home from work the other day. It is so tranquil the sky and the bleeding lights from the cars. Let me know what u think.
I really should go into a career as a photographer!!!
Anyway enough for today I got boring household chores to do.
Sleep well all

Sunday The Big Interview
Well Hello there all,
Well I had my interview at the police headquarters for the call handler position. I was so nervous, As I approached this 15 story building the hub of the police force I suddenly realise that if I am successful with this job this is going to begin the biggest adventure of my like...My career the next 25 years of my life!! This excites me and scares me at the same time but I walk into the building like I have been there all my life!! I sign in at reception and wait to be collected.
I am wearing a black Ted baker suite a brilliant white shirt (to show I can pull off white as its the uniform) with a nice contrasting Red Tie! I must confess I looked good, and the response off Andrew before I left was favourable.
His role in all this was to keep me calm! I was ultra high maintenance last night panicking that I had prepared professional enough answers to the framework I was to be interviewed from. I woke up early and started panicking but then the sight of Andrew sleeping so soundly next to me made me relaxed, then he awoke and saw I was stressing, and he just held me which was perfect! I got up and did some last minute prep and then went and cuddled for an hour and watched the rest of Stepford wives we had started the previous evening.
I then made breakfast which consisted of crumpets and tea and coffee, what a civilised breakfast! I bought the crumpets cos they boasted only 1%fat, i figures that with butter and jam they would even up to a regular calorie breakfast!
They seem to go down a treat.
I leave Andrew to get ready at my place I guess he figured it was easier to stay out of the way and get ready when I have gone... A wise precaution.
So the interview went well I think, I seem to construct sensible sentences and answer all the questions thrown at me! They have me a proper grilling but I think I performed well. Thanks to Andrew for all the encouragement he gave me. Nothing seems to rattle him, he is fantastic.
He is off to see his mum today it being her birthday yesterday, so lucky boy will be in for some good home cooking! My friend whom works for the police already is finishing at 5 pm so I think I will go meet them and go and have a Sunday lunch at a local pub, I think i deserve it.
I had a text off my current boss which was nice wishing me luck.
Well gonna sign off for now go get some much needed rest and do some boring housework!!
I took this picture at the zoo last week how good would it be to a tiger!!!
Please post your comments!

My God Decisions Decisions
As if life does not get complicated enough then the world throws more complications just to make it interesting!!!!
It’s based around my employment status and I will attempt to explain. Jobs I have in progress are
1) Police Officer - I am at the second stage, its a good career, good pension, weird hours, but interesting and as close to forensics as I think I can get as real forensics is too competative. Possible 60mile commute
2) Call handler job at A police HQ - Weird hours, tedious work, and excellent networking possibility to get into forensics, 60 mile commute, and good money.
3) Intelligence analyst for the A health agency for NHS, boring work, good skills to be learnt, good relocation opportunity within the NHS, no commute its 5 mins from home, good money, but its not police or forensics or related.
I have interviews for all of them and I am trying to think 3 steps ahead of time. Things I like in a job are variation, so the Department of health and police would give that, I do like regular hours but I also like things changing so all of them satisfy that criteria. Money is an issue but all of them are a similar starting wage approx 20 grand. I do like working on the move so the police would give that but I am not sure I would be a good police officer.
Obviously I May get none of them but I could also end up with all of them. The police officer one is long term suppose so can put that on the back burner, but the other two are imminent. I also am just about to apply for a Fingerprint Assistant job with Lancashire police, which is forensics local, and ok money but who knows if I will even get an interview for this. My brain is on fire please can someone leave me a comment and help me.!!!!!
Andrew is away this evening on a business thingie near St Ives somewhere!!! He rang before and I gave him a data burst of all this and he was so sweet and told me that we will discuss it tomorrow face to face and go through all the possibilities and for me to switch my brain off for this evening. I think I may just do that.
It was our 4 month anniversary on Tuesday! It has flown by to be honest and I can say I have enjoyed every second and Andrew deserves a medal for putting up with my over active brain.!! I don’t think you can think too much, I plan for everything ha ha
On a cool note I planned a surprise trip for me and Andrew to see his best friend in London. Well it was a surprise till I crumbled under interrogation. But he is very happy! I am kind of scared about meeting his best friend!! Just got to book the train tickets now next week.
I also got Andy finalised for a week in Greece in June!!! I can’t wait I love it there, feels more like home than England to be honest!
Well enough ranting for one evening. Please feel free to leave me a comment regarding the job thing!

Sunday 17th
What a weekend. Probably been the best in recent months!
Went with my man to the zoo today. I was moderately disappointed with the turnout on behalf of the animals, not a rhino, tiger, or many reptiles to be seen. Suppose I can understand it was sunday afterall. We went in the monkey enclosure and saw some very energetic monkeys swinging around manically, it looked so much fun and exhillerating. I honestly wanted to join in he he. We wandered round in very cold temperatures trying to find the illusive larger animals. maybe they had all gone back to their native country to escape the british winter who could blame them!!
I had never been to a zoo before and I really enjoyed it. Animals have the right attitude, they dont seem to take life to seriously. I am going to adopt a more carefree attitude I think.
We then the most narcacistic lion i have ever seen. He paraded in front of the cameras like his paddock was one big cat walk! Just proves we are more similar than we think! Kings of our own species!
Andrew then realised we were close to cheshire oaks a massive clothes outlet village. So we made our way back to the car to go shopping and I was so hungry I needed to eat!
We wandered around this weird psuedo village filled with every item of clothing you could ever imagine from every designer in the world and suddenly there was nothing to buy. I did buy some very comical PJ's with monkey's on from GAP, and andrew bought a very sexy suit indeed. He did look good I must admit. We went in the Calvin Klein underwear shop and andy bought some comical versions of his undergarments!
All this shopping and animal viewing was tiring so we set off home. This would have been a simple job however me the navigational dumbass missed the motorway junction and we ended up from cheshire to manchester airport to my flat one big circle.
We got back to the flat and napped for a little while whilst watching this teen slasher film I had bought for £1 yesterday. It was watchable, thats probably the best way to describe it. The blonde guy in it was very good looking and we both decided he was the best thing in the film. The over use of dramatic music kind of drowned out the plot of the film but it was good to watch when half asleep.
I am really happy with my relationship with andrew he is so good, we get on well and dont get on each others nerves at all.
I am still having mixed feeling about my application success to be a police officer. I am very happy as its a good career. A total 180 from what I wanted to do but I suppose its good all the same. Any comments wold be appreciated.
Anyway enough for one day I am gonna make my lunch and head off to bed for a relaxed nights sleep.

Saturday 16th
I wake up early and go and meet my father at his usual haunt on a saturday morning which is the supermarket. He starts arguing with me! I have just passed the first stage into being a police officer. I am very happy but he has a problem with it. He seems to not want a son in the police. I explained that my career choice is none of his business and any messing out of him and I will arrest him!!! Ha Ha.
I thought this was bang out of order as he should be proud I am going for a better career! What a Git.
I get home and telephone Andrew whom is playin medal of honour..... Without me.......How dare he. We chat and decide what to do today. He wants to go to the Zoo, so after a internet searching google conversation we discover it closes at 3 and would be too late today but decide to go tomorrow! I never been and I am excited. Although I am a little wary of big animals, especially the fluffy nice looking ones my theory is they look good they must be the most vicious. I will report on the Zoo trip tomorrow!
We decide that today should be a film. One called jumper sounds like a sci fi crime spy jobby, so sounds good. We are going to do a little shopping first, so i decided that reebok stadium is the way forward.
I really want to book my holiday. I have asked andrew to come with me, which I suppose is a big step, but he said yes and I am waiting for my greek mother to come back to me with prices!
I am thinking of late may early june time.
Right I am going to have a nap I think......zzzzzzzzzzzz

We decide that today should be a film. One called jumper sounds like a sci fi crime spy jobby, so sounds good. We are going to do a little shopping first, so i decided that reebok stadium is the way forward.
I really want to book my holiday. I have asked andrew to come with me, which I suppose is a big step, but he said yes and I am waiting for my greek mother to come back to me with prices!
I am thinking of late may early june time.
Right I am going to have a nap I think......zzzzzzzzzzzz
Post Valentines
Well the remainder of my week was a bit of alright.
I was really looking forward to valentines day for a few reason.
1. I was actually with someone for one
2. I was with someone whom I actually care about and want to celebrate this event with
3. I was looking forward to my meal Andrew was cooking.
I had already booked friday off work so that was something to look forward to nice long weekend. I managed to finish work at 4.15 on thursday so I shot home got a shower and then went about paying bills and other mundane boring tasks.
I arrived back home and andrew had arrived at my flat and already had the meal well in hand. I decided that my productive role was that of gentle encouragement and lingered round the kitchen offering motivational comments.
He had got me a nice card with a small yappy dog blinged up on the front. Not a valentines day one but I suppose there is a lack of cards made for male male relationships. I was very impressed with his effort. He had got a sexy hair cut too. I really like his hair short!
We eat then feel very full and end up just lying on my couch for a while watching mindless episodes of hollyoaks! Where have all the good looking people gone out of this show. It used to be the pretty peoples soap now they are all spotty youths! Does this mean I am getting older!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anyway after some fun, we sleep and wake up late on friday!
Eventually when we are ready and look good enough to go out in public we venture to the trafford centre! Andrew is obsessed with watches and we look at many over priced but very nice watches. To be fair there was a hugo boss one which was very nice and I would love! But that man has enough money, so MR BOSS you aint gettin my money yet!
We had a nice traditional fish and chip meal and then a coffee. All this watch shopping must have been all too much as andy slept all the way back in the car and another hour at my flat before we go to his house.
We play medal of honour, well he played I acted as a second pair of eyes, as for some reason I have lost all co-ordination for computer games and I end up looking spazzy!
All in all a really good 24 hours, he is a good man to have!

Its tuesday Once again
Hi Avid readers lol
Well I had an ok start to the day, in the fact I got up looked at myself in the mirror and thought lookin good!!!!!
I got to work a little later than planned at 8.45, which is fifteen mins into my standard sitting drinking a brew time. I had to rush!!!!!!
I loaded up the computer and trawled through the load of emails from the night before. Luckily because I am a temp I only get adverts to win stuff which usually kills the first hour of my day.
Anyway I will fast forward to the interestine parts of my day.
My mother recently found out she had a brain tumour so I have been a little bit down. They must have noticed at work because they got me this.

I thought this was very sweet and SSS is not some kind of secret police its the Stop Smoking Service!!!! So the highlight of my moring was recieving this psuedo valentines well wishing gift. I sound a bit ungrateful there but I actually was touched by the gesture and I think they do appreciate me!!!
At 4.30 I got my lucky break, the computer network went down Fantastic!!!!! Therefore I went home at 4.45 as i could not do anything.
On the way home I was thinking what I should cook for my tea! Over the past few weeks I have attempted to cook sausages numerous times in the form of Toad in the Hole. Never understood where the toad comes in but I am not here to question why! It never works when I cook it, so i decided to just cook sausauges. So after a quick phone call to andrew to make me feel like a retard for asking how to cook sausages in the oven i am off cooking. They are cooking as I type so will update on the state of cooking later.
He is cooking me Toad in the hole for valentines, maybe there is some sexual aspect to this dish choice......mmmmmmmmm maybe!!!

Monday Madness
Hi I am really miffed with being a lonely temp today. I got stuck with all the shitty work within the office to do because the rest of the team went to a meeting, which I had some good ideas about but as I am more than transparent my opinions dont matter. So as a sad piece of revenge whilst they were all away sipping coffee and eating overpriced biscuits talking about their kids ailments I selected all the phones divert to voicemail and I took a long lunch. My demonstration of defiance would have had more weight if they actually knew what I had done, but nevertheless I felt better.
I emailed andrew and enquired about the state of his yankee flu. It was a little better he said which is all good, and he suggested the chippy for tea. So bad but so good.
Then on my way home I was slowly driving in the rush hour traffic when I noticed the guy driving in the car behind me. He was also in a nice VW golf so instantly my competitative streak kicked in.....was his car better than mine, after I decided that he was a mere petrol model, I then noticed his sunglasses. They were round, absolutely massive, they filled his face, he looked like a walking talking fruit fly. I asked myself the question WHY!!! Why would you purchase something so foul. Did he purchase them in the dark in a sunglasses shop with no mirrors. I mean his friends should have Vito'ed this purchase before his visa was approved at the checkout.
I regret not having telepathy as I could have informed him of what I see when I looked at him. Coupled with his unkempt hair, this sight may keep me awake tonight, or at the very least I will be looking at flies in a different light for the next few days.

I am thinking I may have a battered sausage (excuse the pun) chips and gravy from the chippy. I will pay for it when my pants dont fit in the morning but who cares. Andrew just txt and he is on his way. Cant wait I am starving.Later Potatta

Friday Night Sat Morning
Well hello there all my faithful readers.
I went to the theatre last night with 7 women from work. I was hoping for a night of culture and sophistication. Which I got because no matter how big or amature the theatre is the hard core regulards seem to have this air of royalty around them, not sure why perhaps its in the cups of tea they drink there..... must try one next time. The play was called its never too late, it was a real life situation thing, man leaves wife for younger model, then wifes male friends are suddely like flies round dog shit for the newly single woman. Amusing and well put together.
However during this play I realised a few disturbing factors. When in a mans life do their trousers stop fitting them. My pants fit in all areas around the crotch and ass and in the leg. All the men involved in this production seemed to have a massive gaps and excess material in the whole genetal area. This is not to say that they were fat the the waist band was just clinging to their belly creating a triange kind of effect down towards the crotch. Is there a designer or some clothes shop that takes all the scrap pieces of material and sews them into perfectly nice clothes and then sells them to the over 50's. Suppose this in either the most ingenious idea cornering a market to make a fortune or the designer of these pants is a confessed sadist or fatter than hell. I wonder if it is about not wanting to show off your asscets. I cant imagine not wanting not to look your best when your out in public.
I mean yes I am not lookin for a new man but it can only be complimemtary for him If I look good cant it.
Another gem I gleamed from my night at the theatre is the ability to laugh politely at jokes that maybe you dont understand. I have always just said I dont get it. But several times last night I found myself just laughing at jokes or sayings that i did not understand. Is this growth.
Well currently my man is mid atlantic which I hate the idea of hense why I am up too early because I hate flying and feel that if you did not get a holiday at the end of it what is the point. It seems unatural to travel in a car on land down to tesco you have to wear your seatbelt al the time but to be 30000 ft travelling at 500mph you only have to wear it at the start and the end. Plus I dont like the idea of travelling that fast in basically a steel tube with seats held together with glue. I know they are a wonder of the modern age but I just cant get my head round th whole concept. I usually tackle flying the same way I deal with insomnia. Get annoyed and stressed or consult prince vallium then what ever happens at least your brain in that dulled you really could not care less.
Being drunk dont help either I was pissed on a flight to Zante a few years ago and I have never had such a mind altering experience has becomming very hung over midflight. I was dehydrated massive headache, mouth life a flip flop, and no pain killers to numb this. I got to zante and I think a blow up doll representation of me would have been more use to my friends in the trauma of collecting the bags.
Overall flying, drinkin, and travelling = trauma bad idea.
Well best go and get myself dressed and off to the supermarket then to the airport to pick up my man. I am very excited.

Andrew -My Man
Nikki - My friend and comedy duo partner
Pluggy - An ex trolly dolly now turned accountant

Anyone else I will update as time goes on, They are the basics.

This is the first rant
Well its wednesday night and I have had yet another moderate day at the temp real job. Well I should really first introduce myself. I am Chris. I decided to start this blog so things running through my mind wont take it over and I wake up one day sectioned in a padded cell.
I am 25 live in the lovely rainy north of england. Its an ok place to live I guess.
Although I do think the chav was invented here, they must breed them on secluded council estates in.
Well I currently work for the NHS which has been a very eye opening experience. No wonder this country is falling apart with the sheer ammount of time wasted on pointless meetings and over complicated decision making when surely the only question should be how can we make these people well and how can we get the hospitals nice and for christs sake can we have a budget for some up to date magazines in the waiting areas.
I am by qualification and passion a Forensic Scientist, wishing to be a CSI. But thanks to the best programme ever invented CSI Vegas (Non of that Miami Shit) there is about as much chance of me plaiting fog than me becomming a CSI unless a blow off the ugliest guy.
I am wondering currently what I find attractive in people as I am at the moment watching Sex in the city which my boyfriend Andrew let me borrow while he is off doing business things in US and A.
The whole programme basically is about what looks good and feels good. Does it make me shallow that I see nothing wrong with this. I am sorry but I only want to be surrounded with pretty people. I am as shallow as a puddle.
I have noticed that there are some bloody ugly specimens around. Have you all noticed this. Where do they come from?? And where do they go?
I have come to the conclusion that I am now officially missing my man. He has been away for nearly two weeks and I am ready for him to come home now. Just to let the universe know.
Anyway enough for one night I can hear the kettle calling my name although another brew might make the difference between me awake all night reaching for the help of prince vallium to sleep or not. Somone help me make this decision.
Good evening all
