Confession

So I have a Confession to make...

I haven't done any exercise since Christmas - I have not once got on my exercise bike.

To make it even worse, I got some mcvities Gold Bars for my lunches this week. 9 in a pack, they are all gone! I haven't eaten all of them - I offered them round the office today when I realised there was only three left.

its not good

Happy Birthday!

Today is my Dad's 50th Birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! I've added a few pics of my dear old Dad, a tribute if you will...

Harry Potter?

Like father, like son?

Action Man!

I'm probably going to be in trouble when he sees this!

Family Guy

Recently i've got into Family Guy - its funny, and a little rude and sometime just plain weird! Have a look at this clip you'll see what i mean, if you like it tell me and i'll swap it for another one!

The First, My Last, My Everything

I don't know why but whenever I'm walking and listening to music I can't help but walk at the pace of the music - even cars going by can sometimes make me walk faster or slower (dependent on the music they play and the volume it is played at)

So Tuesday this week I was in Covent garden for work - I went to get a coffee and started to wonder down the road. It was at this point that Barry White's track "you're the first my last my everything" started to play on my ipod. It wasn't many paces before I felt myself strutting along in time to the music!

Tripod over one shoulder, camera bag over the other - I must have looked a bit special!

MY EYE!

The other day I was reading the local free paper, flicking through the pages quite quickly reading random headlines and stuff as I went.

at one point I flicked the page over, not realising that this was actually the centre page which was folded over - the flicking action caused the page to jump up away from the rest and the folded corner connected with my eyeball!
My actual eyeball, not my eye lid or my upper cheek the real deal! It was one of those pains where you think you've done something really bad - thankfully there was no marks or anything.

So I wiped the tears and continued reading (but this time with a lot more care)

from now on I will be wearing safety goggles to read the paper

Strange Dream

Last night I had a strange dream, I often have what I like to call "montage dreams" these are dreams that rapidly change the subject after a few minutes like flicking through the channels on the telly.

Well last night one of these dreams and one segment was a little strange...

Jo and I were going to a traditional Salvation Army event at Southwark Salvation Army. We walked into the building (which is quite a small Church building in Elephant and Castle) and it was the size of Wembley conference centre 3000+ seats! So that's a little weird! But there's more...

We made our way to our seats, there was the usual hustle and bustle of a load of people finding seats, a brass band was warming up on the stage etc.

The opening of the event started, I nearly fell off my chair!
Lloyd Kinsley and Phil Hoyle walked up one of the sets of stairs up into the audience/congregation. They were both in full uniform (which I don't think anyone has seen them in for a number of years) carrying a guitar each!

So they got themselves sorted out with music and everything - I caught Lloyds eye and smirked a bit which made him smile. The spotlight fell on them and they started to play, Phil on his acoustic bass guitar and Lloyd with a large 12 string acoustic guitar - I didn't recognize what they were playing but it was a jolly little tune in the "joy strings" style.

They gave each other a little look and a smile and both took in a deep breath and...

Jo woke me up by putting the light on!

So who knows what they were going to sing!

If anyone has an interpretation of what this all means then please elaborate.

Altoids Door Handles

Today I decided that it was about time I tried to fix the door handle to our office. Over recent months the door handles on both sides have started coming away from their fixings, this could be very bad if they broke completely as we would potentially be stuck in the office with no way of escape!

So after dismantling the door handle I found that the plastic inside the handle which holds it all together had completely broken up and wasn't doing its job.
I then set about trying to find something in the office that could be used to replace said plastic inserts.

So after a little while trying to find a bit of wood or something similar (and you can never find any wood in an office other than the desks) I found an old tin of altoids - the altoids had gone all weird in the tin so I threw them out and set about cutting and bending the lid into a suitable shape.

Good news it worked! I fitted the tin pieces and screwed the whole lot back together (with a little bit of gaffa tape of course!)

Both handles are (for the time being...) back on securely!

( thanks to Lloyd for the altoids - thanks to Phil for taking the photo)
