Amazon and Ebay

I just bought a book on amazon and yet again, it’s not arrived. Now I have to go through whole process of arguing with this idiot to come to a satisfactory conclusion.  But, as usual you know what will happen, Amazon won’t do anything and neither will the seller and eventually I’ll just give up, again and lose the money AGAIN!!!!

Golf Cross - The new game

I saw this today and thought what a great idea!  GolfCross is the new style golf game which uses a rugby shaped ball instead of a round one!  You have to hit the ball into a high, rugby style goal!! Cool! Read the rest of this entry »

Travel - The Green Issue and why it annoys me

I wanted to talk about this in my blog as the green issue is rapidly spiraling to the forefront of everyone’s mind and it’s getting on my nerves.  I just received a press release about lessening our impact on the environment in which, it states that there are huge variations in individual greenhouse gas emissions.  Is this news?  You’d have to be stupid not to have figured that out already.

The Sun - Holidays for £9.50 - What a load of Sh**

I recently got sent some junk mail from The Sun Holidays for £9.50 offer which they are about to start plugging again.  It annoys me as we got totally stitched up last year by one of their holiday destination partners. Read the rest of this entry »

Blog tagging eh? Right here we go…..

If everyone else is doing it I suppose I’d better jump in. So here you go, 5 things no-one needs to know about me….

1. I stuck my willy in a plug socket when I was a one year old and it blew me across the room.  I survived and have been electric in bed ever since……

A Perfect Day…

So, everything was arranged just in time, the band were booked and the best bit? She turned up, phew! What a day, it really was the best day of my life.

It started in the pub with the lads, a big bottle of bubbly and fat cigar…..a great start to any day I’m sure you’ll agree.  Amanda looked so stunning as you can see……..

Cigar in PubAmanda

At about 11.45, we took a gentle walk through the high street to the church, suited and booted which was great fun, we had top hats and canes so a sword fight or two was inevitable..

Waiting for Amanda to arrive at the Church had to be the worst bit, I was definitely panicking, lucky me though, she turned up eventually. I still don’t think she understands yet that she definitely got the duff end of the deal! Anyway, I finally married Amanda on 15th December 2006 at 1.00pm at All Saints Church in Fleet and I am currently the happiest man alive!

After the service we headed off in a spanking new Bentley to the reception at Warbrook House, what a car! Maybe the bosses will get one for a company pool car? you never know.

Then the hour and a half of compulsory photos in the freezing cold.  We were lucky really though, the weather held out for us just long enough to get married and get the photos done – what more could you ask for in December eh?  Well chuffed.

 

Everyone

 

I did miss out on the canapés though so I was starving by the time we sat down for the meal.  Well I thought I was anyway, when it came to it I couldn’t eat most of the meal, I barely touched it in fact.  I think it was the thought of doing the speech, either that or the tight fitting waistcoat…

Anyway, great meal and the speeches went down a treat, what a relief… Amanda’s dad Chris played a blinder with his, as did the two best men (I couldn’t decide) and although the photos they circulated could’ve been better, they also could’ve been much worse….phew!

After letting dinner settle it was time for Mid-life Crisis, the band for the night.  They were soooo good and played loads of 60’s and 80’s music which kept everyone dancing the whole night, it was great, absolutely great and I want to do it all again! Maybe next year for the first anniversary eh?  Any chance of a pay rise?!?!  No?  Ah well, it was worth a go…

I don’t think I’ll detail the honeymoon but suffice it to say it was easily the best holiday of my life….thanks Amanda, love ya x

Love and Marriage

Some ten years ago I met the woman of my dreams.  I proposed in January this year and am now going marry to her on 15th December 2006. I am getting scared now, the wedding is two weeks today and I still don’t have my speech ready.  The cars aren’t sorted, the order of services need to be printed and I still have to buy everyone’s Christmas presents and wedding presents by then. 

I also need a trip to the dentist cos I smashed my tooth while sipping beer from a pint glass and now have a chip in my front tooth.   To top it all off, my glasses broke yesterday and I have to get some new ones before the big day…..great!

Still, it doesn’t matter.  As long as I turn up I’m sure everything will work out fine eh? (Shake)……
