I want a Dry Martini and I want it in the Jacuzzi. But the Jacuzzi am buggered and Mr S is not here to do the Martini thing. (Meno, a dry Martini is one where the main ingredient is the Gin/Vodka, the "dryer" you have it, the less vermouth you have) So Although I can make a Martini I don't like running barefoot through Mr S's drinks cabinet when he is not around. But he wouldn't mind if I did, but - ya know, respect innit.

So, had too much crap to do and not enough access to here. But now am sat in the "Opium Den" as featured in the post "Space - above and behind" and just had a quick catch up.

Now I am off to complete the unwinding process with a Les Paul and some loud twangage!

And later on - ROME on the telly and a takeaway with S&F. Ahh perfect.

Right - off to fire up the amp.

It’s amazing, on days like this when (from here at least) blog is a hard to reach and glacial slow place, when you can’t actually just spend fifteen quick minutes commenting and chatting, when you get no emails to say there was a comment, none of your usual distractions, it makes you feel alone and stuck in a job you actually don’t like at all.

Of course I am actually stuck in a job I don’t like, but without the little breakouts into bloggdom I can’t forget it!

Or any of the other stuff.

What a shitty fucking dull day!

(All of this was written while waiting for blog to take ONE short comment to one post)

I want a Jacuzzi and a Martini.

BUGGER!

Actually I could write a fucking book in the time the site is taking to load from here. Must be our shitty work servers. Fuck it – I needed to be distracted from this rubbish today.

Going back to another thrilling afternoons work as this site WILL NOT do anything faster than a snail in a headwind!

Changing pages to see my friends post takes forever!

leaving a comment takes ages after you hit the button!

Opening a damn blog is an excercise in freeform swearing and accute threats directed at the hard drive.

I was hoping to relax a bit and have a nice play in the virtual fun room but NO.

Thanks bcuk.

you total bunch of llwnts!

I am writing this in word again, as bcuk is going slower than a sloth swimming through treacle while tied to mount Everest by its nipples.

I was intending to spend this lunch time catching up and commenting on all the blogs since this morning, but I fucking well can’t can I! It is taking too long!.

For example I have just commented on Abis’ blog and while typing this very line I am seeing nothing but a blank page behind this window.

Anyway.

I am having one of those days where you do lots of work and get nothing done that you should be doing. I have to do other peoples, even other departments thinking and work for them, and still try to do what I am supposed to. So I am just wound up and getting nowhere.

I should of course be relaxing in the pub, but I gave that up to catch up on the blogs WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY A WASTE OF TIME GIVEN THE STATE OF THE SITE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, for one of you lucky people, I fear the countdown may have begun.

Oh look Abis’ blog has just now appeared behind this window, so now I may take a half hour out of my life and try to post this.

Wish me luck.

Another place of quiet and slightly tipsy relaxation has been taken from me! A warm and cosy place where I drank many a chilled dry Martini and felt the aches, pains and stresses of the day depart. The snacks, which would be brought to you with the drinks where of the finest quality and helped with the general relaxing process.

Yes dear reader, Mrs F & Ships cooks Jacuzzi has died!

Now it is just a big bath.

Bugger!

In other news, I was just about to catch up with some blogs as I feel I have been out of touch with some of you. But the bosses boss is in today to do some more “one to one’” with the managers so I am going to have to work and look like I mean it.

In other other news – I miss Lyndljs morning blogs.
