Hotmail Anyone?

I was just sat looking at my contacts on messenger and I've just realised that I have someone on there twice but with different names. I have seen them sign in with one of the names a lot but the other name is hardly used, the one they talk to me with. This doesn't bother me too much as, although I do sign into MSN, it is usually just to check my emails and get notified when I have a new email. I usually sign in as 'appear off line' as I am usually in the middle of something and don't want to be disturbed.

All this got me thinking, I know I don't usually think a lot and especially being a Sunday, usually not at all, but today was different.

I have 5 MSN addresses. 2 of the addresses are for official type stuff and 1 is the one I use on public websites, like this one and for messenger. The other 2 are for sites you need to sign up to with an email address but you don't want anyone else to know that you have done this. I wonder what they could be :-).

Anyway back to my thinking.

I was wondering how many other people have several web addresses and what they use them for?

Do comment and let me know or all of my thinking on a Sunday would be for nothing.

Heart Attack Scare

Earlier this week my brother had a heart attack and gave us all a big fright. After spending a couple of days in hospital and having two blockages cleared he is back at home now, hopefully taking it a bit easier.

So this is for Ivor, my brother:

Jedi Thoughts

Every day this week I have found myself thinking it's a day further on that it really is.

Yesterday I thought it was Thursday all day and when I woke up this morning I thought it was Friday.

It's not as if I haven't had anything to do on certain days either. Tuesday I had a medical appointment and yesterday I had to go and see a lady regarding my work. Today I have some training this afternoon and tomorrow I'm having my hair done. So why is it that all my days are mixed up but I still know what I am doing?

One reason I thought could account for this is, Monday night I met up with an old friend, well he's not old but I've known him for a few years. We went out for a drink and being the gentleman he is, he drove and I was able to drink. We had a really good time catching up on what had be going on in the last couple of years, since we had seen each other last and even made up a new religion, Jedi, but more about that later.

After the pub closed we called into a friend of mine whose birthday it was. A few more drinks with him and then home. I think I had about 6 or 7 vodka's, an amount which wouldn't usually effect me but there must be something strange about drinking on a Monday night as I felt very drunk.

Tuesday morning was a bit of a blur and although I had promised my friend we would go to the gym, I just couldn't face it so I sat in her house drinking coffee, trying to clear my head.

You would have thought I would have relived Tuesday again since I wasn't really with it all day, but no I think I must have taken it completely out of my week which is why I've been one day ahead.

Wouldn't it be good if all Tuesdays were gone and only had a 4 day working week, well we could leave in the ones that landed on the last day of the month cause thats when I get paid.

Monday's you would get out of bed feeling alot better knowing you only had 3 more day till the weekend and Wednesdays would be great because they would come a day earlier.

So, from now on, don't make any arrangements for Tuesdays, they will soon be a thing of the past.

Update:

I just did a search for Jedi and found there is already a religion called 'Jedi' and it's quite popular. here is what it says regarding the religion on Wikipedia:

England and Wales
In England and Wales 390,127 people (0.7 percent) stated their religion as Jedi on their 2001 Census forms, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth largest reported religion in the country. The highest percentages of such responses were typically in cities with high student populations.[10] In the 2001 Census 2.6 percent of the population of Brighton claimed to be Jedi.

The percentages of religious affiliations were:
Christian: 72.0%
No religion: 14.8%
Chose not to respond: 7.7%
Muslim: 3.1%
Hindu: 1.1%
Jedi: 0.7%

Ever wondered how slugs make babies? It's quite fascinating.

Ringcraft Classes Around Bristol

I've noticed a few visitors have come to my blog via a search for ringcraft classes so I thought it may be a good idea to put a few more contact details regarding the ones I have found. I know it's a bit late for Crufts but there is always next year!

The Burnham training classes are held on Monday nights and start at about 8.15pm. They are held in the scouts hut which is behind the rugby club house. The map below should help you to find it.

Another one has just started up again after taking a break for the winter. It is run in the village hall in Norton Malreward on Wednesday nights from 7.30pm.

Norton Malreward is a little village just past Whitchurch (going out of Bristol) off Norton Lane. Turn right by the children's park, into Norton lane, carry straight until the road forks and take the left fork. The hall is on the left near to the other end of the village.

Maybe see you at the Norton Malreward one next Wednesday.

How Many Swallows?

While writing a post for my other blog, Plymouth's Pilgrims, I looked at the Plymouth Argyle football site to see what was being said about yesterday's game.

One sentence which made me smile was this by Paul Sturrock:

"One swallow does not make a summer"

I'm sure all the men will be pleased about that!

Why the big smile Paul?

Just Another Friday Night

She walked in from the outside area where they had been banished and draped her arms around his neck. “You ok luvvy?” she asked.

He turned looked at her then stood up, picked up his chair, so it towered above her head and went to throw it across the room. She quickly moved around him so she was stood in-between him and the rest of the room.

“What the fuck are you doing? Put that chair down!” she shouted. He did as she told him but his eyes were fixed on someone across the room. She followed his gaze and found a stocky lady in her 40’s sat on her usual stool staring back at him. Abusive words were exchanged between the man and lady as they both started to move towards each other.

Friends of the two surrounded each of them in an attempt to ease the situation. She being a friend of both of them had to decide who she was going to stand with. She moved towards the woman and tried to tell her he was not worth it. He was young and drunk and not worth getting into any kind of argument with.

The lady, who was also drunk, was repeating the same sentences, in a just about understandable slurred voice, over and over. “He can’t say things like that about my dog. My dog comes in here all the time. He can’t say things like that”

All the while, Gus, who hadn’t been in there for a while and gets quite violent when he’s had a drink, decided it was his role to take a stand for the morals of all men and started telling the man just what he thought of him for picking the chair up against the lady, who was now on her way out of the room to go to the banished spot.

Now the argument was not just between the man and the lady but the man and his friends and Gus and his friends.

This was when the man in charge of the place decided he should walk around to where all the noise was coming from to find out what was happening. He had timed his walk to perfection. By the time he got there the friends of the two bickering men had diffused the situation and things were calmer. Now they were all stood around happily analysing what had just happened as if they just watched Plymouth Argyle beat Bristol City on the wide screen TV.

Time for another drink.

Friday Fun Night

So who will it be?

Maybe you?

Or you?

Or even you?

No.

You are all going to have to wait until next time.

I'm having too much fun to be even considering it.

Taking about fun, it's Friday which means it's time to go out to play!

Anti-Freeze Anniversary

For all you men who have been with that someone special for 7 years you had better watch out.

It is a known fact that after seven years of living with the same person there's nothing you would like better than to get rid of them. Many just leave for a newer model. Some leave to start life on the single scene again, free to take home and experience new pleasures with whoever they want. While others take it a step further.

Poor Kate now faces a long time without money

Take Kate Knight for example. She and Lee had been married for the dreaded 7 years to the day when she tired to kill him with curry. Lee must have thought that she had cooked him the meal for their 7th anniversary out of love and devotion, but Kate had other reasons for the meal. You see curry has a strong flavour and so must have hid the taste of the anti-freeze she had added to the special dinner.

Lee don't look too happy but at least he's still here

I don't know who Kate’s solicitor was and why they didn't just say she was having a period at the time and didn't know what she was doing, but poor Kate has just been found guilty of attempted murder, she was hoping to get her hands on her Lee's life insurance.

As 29th February approaches all men should be on their guard for women out to catch someone with a large insurance policy or this could be you in 7 years time.

So who's going to be out in Bristol this Friday night??

Glasgow Day Rider

I must stop finding blogs I like. I tend to stay far too long reading them and forget what I was looking for in the first place.

Tonight I spent ages reading Bloodbus. A blog, which has also been published in book form, written by a bus driver in Glasgow, Scotland. The post I enjoyed most was Gollum's Funeral.
