Hello Everyone, Want an Update???

OK, OK, so it's been a while, well a looonnngggg while! I don't really know why I have not updated, I wish I could say it was because I was so busy but I don't think that excuse will cut it. I am still not working, by choice, am telling people that I am retired. I have not even looked for a job, it's not the situation I wanted to be in but when I realised that this is the last time in my life that I will not have any responsibilities, no bills, wife, GF, kids and that gubbens, with enough money put aside to live the same life that I have been, I thought I should enjoy it! So here we are.

I have found plenty to get on with, working through an PC Maintenance course with a friend, playing poker (won in Wolseys last night sorry Kayeso), hitting the pub and acting like a teenager every weekend, watching every movie going that I can grab, got Sky+ so am very flexible as to when I wanna watch TV (can't recommend Sky+ high enough), playing PS3 (bought lots of games), modding my PC (hard drives, routers, software, etc), pottering, blah, blah, blah. It's great just doing whatever and living anti social hours (can't tell if 6am is early in the morning of late at night)! The weirdest thing is that I am drinking less than I ever was before, I thought I would be drinking more but hey, that's a good thing!

This week I watched the Royal Rumble live with John on Sunday, poker last night in the pub, tonight is study night at Brian's, hair cut tomorrow night (been growing it and I look like a 70's throw back), cleaning, etc on Fri and then round to Two Beers, finally out on the town on Saturday night, dinner and clubbing possibly... Sunday chill and take my niece out for lunch!

I have booked a holiday to Costa Del Cardiff to see Jackie for our birthdays so looking forward to that and may try and get away somewhere else any offers, Malaga anyone?! lol

Little Amy bunny is up the duff, nothing to do with me... he he, but I wanna congratulate her and wish her all the best, she will be a wonderful Mom!

Should mention the new TV shows starting soon (the bloody writers strike is really messing up my TV as everything that I DL is on hold), Lost next week and Ashes to Ashes, boy that show has a lot to live up to! I am currently DL'ing all the hits from 1981.

My internet is screwed (something to do with the telephone line and problems on my exchange but that's my own findings), I use Tiscali and this is an extract from our last exchange, can you tell how stressed I am getting, lol. It's been going on for like 6 months now:

"Can you please explain to me why I was told by two of your 2nd level support team and 1 sales person why my line (after testing) could support 7.7mb?

I used to have 2.3mb broadband until I started having problems, traced to Tiscali but no formal explanation given, with a loss of broadband for 2 weeks and now achieving only a speed of 1.2mb. Can you tell me why you are now only saying it will support a slower speed (I have checked samknows to see what I can get), has my line been tested at all? Also I have had e mails confirming that the upgrade will take place and also it has taken a month for someone to get back to me on this despite various e mails to billing, technical support, etc."

I really need to change my profile here, it's been the same for over 6 months and a little out of date!

Finally today I have to mention Big Brother, I know no one watched it but you really missed out, it was fantastic and Big John deserved to win, what a lovely man. Special mention goes to Calista she is my ideal chick, to young obviously but she is fun, hot, intelligent, hubba, hubba!

Peace out!

It's A Bloody Post - Shut Up...

How good were the last 3 episodes of Doc Who, "Here come the drums, here come the drums, baby, baby, baby...." Just brill! It's the first time I have enjoyed it since Rose left, roll on the next season and a new companion, I believe!

It's just ironic, Northern Ireland enters a new phase just as Mainland UK starts to take a step back in time to the old days of good old fashion heavy handed policing and the potential for your next door neighbour to be a terrorist!

It was not that long ago that towns were shut at 11pm with barriers on ever street, stop and search check points where set up randomly and every shop you went in to had burly security guards searching you! No one cared about the violation of our human rights and to top it off we now have former terrorists running our country. I really don't feel anything concerning what is going on in the mainland right now and, as I have become accustomed, did not notice anything mildly shocking in the news over the weekend, it's all a bit, well, been there, done that! To be honest it all seems a little OTT, these guys are not the IRA and should be fairly easy to stop, yes?

I had the 'pleasure' of flying to England recently and the checks at the airport where just unbelievable. Of course being a single with guy, coming form N.I. and clearly looking like a terrorist, I had my photograph taken and was tracked through that whole airport. I felt a bit violated and now there are talks of putting similar checks in place on the Tube and Trains, what a mess!

It looks like what has happened here has been a waste of time, all those lives lost and what is there to show for it, we are still part of the UK and it looks like nothing has been learnt dealing with the terrorism threat here over the decades! It's a sad state of affairs.

Oh played poker last night, went to a chip count and lost by the smallest or margins, maybe one less hand or one more and I would have had it *gutted* Thanks for the game Kayeso!

Some Little Stories From This Weekend, possibly...

The weekend was great, trashed with John on Friday, laughed so much at jackass 2 and Dirty Sanches, stayed up playing poker online (the usual) to all hours and made a few bucks! Um... An interesting night!

On Friday afternoon I was in Tescos and one of the girls on the till has a little thing for me or so I thought. She is always chatty, smiley and asks me lots of questions. Anyway she was asking about what I was up to over the weekend and I asked her in return, as you do! Apparently she was heading in to town (Belfast) to go to the Globe and the Kremlin. She ask me was I going there and then kept asking me over and over if I had been, etc. which I haven't. OK, no surprise so far but the Kremlin is a gay joint, so instead of her having a thing for me, she is some sort of fag hag and thinks I am gay! How funny is that!

Saturday was another movie night with Dimples, Saw 3, A Devil Wears Prada (shit movie, so so bad, how did it get rave reviews, Ugly Betty is so much better) and again Jackass 2 (funny, funny film)! Sunday was the BIG Wolseys poker tourney! The start was a normal affair, some of the cards went for me and some against! I ended up at the final table, letting the aggressors come after me when I had 2 pairs and the like. The numbers SLOWLY whittled down and I was in the last 4, 2nd or 3rd in chips but unfortunately time was against me if I was to win because we had only 8 mins left before a chip count! I decided to go all in every hand from then on. Next hand was AK and got no callers, then pocket 3's and the big stack called with KQ. That was the best scenario, a win would have made me chip leader, so the 50/50 race was on! After lots of messing about with flipped cards, wrong cards burnt, etc. prolonging the tension he hit the K on the bloody RIVER! I so felt a win, the luck against me of the last few weeks could not last and I just got my head down and played my game. The difference between 4th and first was £200 but I doubled up and you can't turn your nose up at that. Thanks Kayeso for running another great tournament!

After that I was not tired at all (playing hands and scenarios in my head) and stayed up to watch the SuperBowl Baby! I watch every year as it's a very special event, watched by an estimated 1 billion people. Not a classic match but worth seeing none the less, pity I was not drinking, in a bar or with anyone to share the experience with tho!
