Back-up CD - What Will You Find?

I was looking at some old back-up cd's and found this on one of them. I'm not sure what it is or why I have it but I thought the words were quite good. Anyone know where it comes from?

TELL HER

sit and stare silently,
is she still a mistake?
did you see her thoughts,
open in her eyes?
she thought the same of you
didn't want to tell you.

If you still feel the same,
three words will fix it
tell her the truth,
set you both free.

You're not a mistake now,
she just lives in fear.
waiting for this day,
the day of doubt to come.

Don't wait to be asked,
clear up this confusion.
end it now,
she won't collapse and die
No matter what you want
tell her the truth

is she still a mistake?
was it only the distance,
the one that doesn't exist?
spontaneously you say this to her,
expect no questions,
you can't be serious?

Don't leave her thinking
like a tumour in her brain
wearing down her thoughts
just tell it to her straight
leave the sugarcoating
that she doesn't need

Don't push her here
in her mind alone
don't make her think this through
just tell it to her straight
set you both free.

Phone Key Tapping

Its strange how one minute you can be happy and having a great time and the next, because of one small thing, you can be feeling sad, upset and let down.
Emotions are things we can't control however hard we try.

I was out Saturday night, determined to have a good time because I haven't been out in ages. I had a couple of vodka's and was happy just watching everyone else generally having a good time. The place was packed with more people than I had seen in there for ages. I was laughing and joking with friends and catching up with people I hadn't seen in a while when I received a text message.

Now I'm not too sure if I've told you before but, my new year's resolution was to delete the numbers off my phone who I usually texted when I am drunk, and so when the message came up with just a number I wasn't sure who it was from. Then I read the text. It was just one word but I knew straight away it was from one of the numbers I had deleted. I was happy that I had received the text and I send one back.

Answering the text was a big mistake. After a few texts to and fro and one phone call, my night had turned from a carefree, happy one into a miserable, I wish I hadn't come out, type of night.

I'm not too sure what I did wrong or what I said that was so wrong, maybe a few truths, I can't remember, but it ended up with him texting me that I was annoying him and me deleting his number once again.

If you have my number you know me well enough not to text me if you don't want me to text you back.

I'm out again next Saturday but my phone will be staying home.

Too Much Spooks and Not Enough Adam

Adam, who was killed off in the first one I watched

My weekend was spent watching several episodes of Spooks which I had recorded earlier in the year. I started watching them last weekend but was interrupted by a friend needing me, so had to put them on pause while I tended to his needs.

I got to the last one and didn't really want to watch it. What would I do after it had finished? I do have Spooks Code 9 recorded too, but it isn't the same. I pressed play on the VBox and started watching as London was under threat of a nuclear attack and the Spooks team had a team of Russian killers, mostly dressed in black, after them. armed with hand and machine guns.

Of course everything turned out well and the only person related to the Spooks team who was killed was the traitor Connie James, but even she saved London before she was blown up by the bomb.

I paused the box several times during the episode, not wanting it to end but of course, there are only so many cups of coffee one can drink in an hour, eventually the end was near.

Harry was in the London head quarters of Russian operations and waiting for word from his team that the bomb had been disarmed of it's nuclear power. However, as most of the action took place in a disused underground, the signal to the highly sophisticated communication system used by the team was broken meaning Harry was isolated with his hosts, who, before he told them about the bomb, were trying to kill him.

One of the team did try to phone him and the scene switched from the underground station to the boot of a car. The boot opened, and there was Harry, mouth bound with tape and hands tied. In the back ground you could hear some sort of air machine, not sure if it was an aeroplane or a helicopter, and that’s where it ended.

I can't wait for the next series but until then I'll have to watch the code 9's I have recorded. It wasn't the same without Adam anyway.

Sleeping With The Script

I've been in bed for about 2 hours now and still can't sleep. It could have something to do with the music I'm listening to. I love The Script at the moment, I saw them in Bristol when they were the support to The Hoosiers, and think the words to their songs are lovely. So maybe listening to the words and not just the music is where I'm going wrong.

This is one of my favorites.

I'm Yours - The Script

Oscars presenter Jon Stewart on what goes on when the cameras switch to a commercial break.

Beryl Cook and Plymouth Argyle - What More Could I Ask!

I received my first Christmas present yesterday. A trip to Plymouth to see a Beryl Cook Exhibition and watch Plymouth Argyle play Birmingham.



The Exhibition was good, with a video playing which showed two interviews with Beryl Cook. There were lots of paintings there which I had never seen before and lots which made me smile. Of course I couldn't leave without buying something, Unfortunately all the signed prints were too expensive for me to buy, ranging from £700 upwards, so I ended up with lots of cards which I will be putting into a frame and hanging, pride of place, in my sitting room.

Plymouth Argyle played really well, getting most of the play throughout the match, but just couldn't manage a goal. Birmingham were on the back foot most of the match, although they did play a little better in the second half. The only goal of the match came in the 61st minute. Birmingham had only one attempt on goal before this, their second attempt found the back of the net.

On the way home, my daughter and I talked about the match and I concluded I was both happy and disappointed with the game. Happy that we had played so well but disappointed that we had lost.

Roll on Boxing day when we will be down at Home Park to watch Plymouth Argyle take on Southampton.

Ian Robins - I'll Miss You

The first time I met Ian was with a large group of people who were all strangers to each other. We had all joined a chat site and decided we would go out on the piss in Bristol. That was about 4 years ago and most of us are still friends to this day. One of the ladies even came down from Liverpool for the weekend and stayed for free at a hotel where one of the other people in the group worked.

Yesterday I received a message on facebook from a lady called Emma. The message read:

''Hi Viv, I know you drink at the space as i have seen you there. I just wanted to say that i have been spending time with Ian Robins over the last 8 weeks and i wanted to know if you have heard about what happened...''

My first thoughts was that he had been in an accident as he is a keen bike rider so I messaged Emma back

''Hi Emma. No I haven't heard from Ian for a while. Is everything ok?''

Emma replied by asking me to phone her.

My heart sank. I knew it had to be something bad but I wasn't prepared for what Emma was about to tell me.

Ian had died last Friday morning.

After some questions of how and why, I thanked Emma for letting me know.

Ian and I had spoken in the past about his family and his love for his children and I still can't quite believe that he is gone.

I will always remember Ian for being a happy, fun person who loved the open country side and used to make me laugh so much. I will truly miss you Ian

Hot Stuff

I've just come back from my hols in turkey and it was so hot. I went with family and friends and although the place we went was not quite what I was expecting we still had a great time.

I took lots of photo's and video, which I am still trying to upload to my pc, not sure why but my camcorder is not recognised.

My brother went paragliding from 6000 ft, jumping off a huge mountain and landing in one piece about 45 minutes later. I think he was really brave. You wouldn't see me jumping off a low wall let alone somewhere in the sky too high to see with the naked eye. He took some nice video on the way down and I managed to get him coming into land by the beach.

Another video I managed to get was of my niece on the last night. She was very drunk and we've threatened to post it on Utube!

Anyway more about my holiday when I get the video to work.

I Need A Date!!

I've decided that I can't go to my 50th birthday party in October alone so I'm looking for a date.

It has to be a man and he has to like a drink, (I can't stand getting drunk alone) I smoke so it has to be someone that either smokes or really doesn't mind me smoking.

He would also have to like dancing, slow or fast I don't mind as long as he moves!

Ideally he would be younger than me as I find older men quite boring on dates plus they don't seem to have the energy younger men have.

I don't like fat men or thin men so he would have to be somewhere in the middle.

He would have to be someone who isn't expecting sex after the party. For one thing I would have had far too much to drink and more importantly I don't do casual sex!

Sound like you or someone you know? Great! Email me and I'll let you know more details.
