Staff Night Oot

Had a cool day at work yesterday. We had a liquid lunch at the local pub. I had two pints of Guinness so was in a dazed and confused state most of the afternoon.

It was the works' night out as well. After finishing at five we headed along to the Millstone Inn. I think that might have been because there was a bar tab there. People’s estimation of the pub grew exponentially, as did mine. We had a good ole chin wag, people were jolly, warm hues and animated sounds filled the pub adding to the Christmas atmosphere. The lads are really cool like. Work wise they have definite things that they want to do, a vision of what they want to accomplish. I like that. After three pints I think it was we all got taxis into the toon. We met up in Centurion. One of Jeff's Mates was there - he does a fantastic "horn" sound that Bo Selecta does, it really is class. I will have to practice it. The neighbours will probably thing there is a clown living next door to them. I wouldn't be a clown as people know, I think it would be degrading. We stayed in Centurion for a while, I was getting more and more plastered by then. You may or may not know I'm not a big drinker. After there we all went along to the Lodge. Most of us were well jolly by then. It's actually a good way to get to know fellow workers like. I suppose it's like a sauna in the fact that you are all in a wooden box with very little clothes on and that there are no uniforms, no categories of dress, no labels, just bodies all the same. Anyway, I digress again. I like the design group people. Really talented people like, a hub of creativity - granted there are a lot of pictures of lawnmowers which is hard to knock one off over. Had a cool night like. We started leaving about 11:30, I was pretty wasted so I decided to go home. I was starving. I didn't want any fast food, that’s the type of stuff at that time which isn't palatable to even the most voracious hound - only someone with beer buds can eat that stuff.

I thought I would get an Indians delivered when I got back. Bad idea. It was too late. All of them had closed. Fook. I didn't have much food in, so decided to have some rice. I put a pan on and had a lie down on the sofa. I was rudely awakened by an intensely piercing high pitched noise and an acrid bitter smokey smell. Yeah, you got it, pan nearly caught fire. The fire alarm was really loud. I couldn't switch it off despite trying to claw the plastic case off while half asleep and still very drunk. I opened all the windows but still to no avail. I went to bed and tried putting a pillow over my ears but still the sound penetrated my eardrums. I opened yet more windows, which after a while did the trick.

I woke up absolutely starving, and a little worse for ware. My poop was a bit clarty, that was defiantly the Guinness. I had nowt to eat since yesterday lunchtime. I went to my grans who fortunately enough had made some soup. It was very nice indeed. I made plans to meet Markie Mark at luckies as he and Angus were just on their lunch because they were not allowed to leave like most of other people at the Uni. We had a good laugh. We got back to their office and after a while one of the bosses came in and said "only one person needs to stay behind, the rest can go". Immediately I said "see you later Dave". We left there and met up with the Uni helpline people. Some good people there like. Chippas and John are class like. We headed back to Luckies. Had a good laugh. Turns out that my Blog is quite popular among people. Like I've said before, I write this for me. If other people read it then fine. Some people have misinterpreted what I've said sometimes - nothing personal meant really. Well, I like everyone apart from one person really. No names mentioned to protect the guilty. Well, I'm not holding onto any grudges - a turd is a turd, doesn't mean you walk around with a hatred for turds even though they are not very nice.

After Luckies we went to what used to be Hucksters. That was a canny bar like. After there we went to Popolos. Some nice ladies in there like. I like that bar, pretty cool. We only stayed in there for a little while then we all left. I went to Windows and bought a guitar tuner and a Melodica for my brothers Cristmas present. Its class like - I might get one. I also had an idea for a play/operetta. I'll work on that.

The other day I misinterpreted the council’s letter. Well, that’s not exactly true - they just didn't word their letter in a grammatically correct manner. Anyway, things are resolved in that area. I’m definitely on an upward trend now like. Had a tough month I suppose - but that hasn't phased me at all. No matter what life can throw at me doesn't stop me from being fookin mint.
