Area 136

Even though Jo and I are getting divorced...

And we already have Sarah to think of...

Our house will be hearing the patter of tiny feet again soon.

Oh my god.

Today has been bloody DULL.

Still, at least I can get out of here in about 35 minutes.

And go back to the house...

It will be good to see Sarah though.

EDIT - Bollocks to this, I am going home now.

Women. – Well obviously.

String Theory. – Although I did once see a very good documentary about this and nearly got my head round it. Maybe they should do one about Women.

Why there are no good science documentaries on TV anymore.

Why British people want to go on holiday to somewhere and have British food, British Beer and British themed Pups. – What is the bloody point?

People who do voices for their pets. – Stop it!

Why some weather men/women feel the need to actually go out and stand in the weather they are telling us about, - Are you trying to prove you are not just making it up?

Those Croc shoes. – Seriously WTF!

Why they advertise those cleaning packs to kill off MRSA bugs that you can buy and take into hospital with you. – Should they not be giving these to the bloody hospital cleaners?

Why Barry Scott has stopped shouting. – “CILLIT BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE!”

Why Barry Scott has never teamed up with Brian Blessed. – Imagine that Ad in stereo!

Why in old cartoons where the main character is an animal that wears clothes and talks, they have a pet that can’t talk and doesn’t wear clothes. – They didn’t think it through did they!

Why Ohio is the only state in America that does not contain any of the letters from the word Mackerel. – Well it doesn’t (and yes I did nick that fact from Al Murray)

Why, when a waiter puts a plate down in front of you and says, “Be careful, it’s very hot” you have to touch it quickly. – Be honest, you do don’t you.

Coldplay. – What is the need for them in a world with sleeping pills in it?

Why when someone asks you the time a split second after you have looked at your watch, you have to look again because you don’t know. – Memory of a ……..wossname.

Why, mid way through a long conversation with someone with a very broad American accent, they have to drop in “By the way I’m an American” – Oh thanks for that. I was a bit lost there for a while.

Actually, this list could go on forever and not get even remotely interesting so I will stop now and consider the sammich options for lunch.

Dwelling on the past is a waste of time. Well some people say this, normally the sort of people I avoid/punch/get drunk with.

Anyway, you should look forward to the positive things that are/should be coming your way in the next year.

So what do I hope is coming my way this year.

A house sale (pleeeeeeeeeese!)

And then a new flat. (Mind you, this would mean decorating and urrrrgh…shopping for stuff for it but I could enjoy it if tried.)

Happiness.

What do I know is coming my way this year:

Trips to places I have never been, some for a weekend and some for longer, in the company of good friends and on some (the more family friendly ones) Sarah.

The decree absolute.

There are probably a lot of other things coming my way this year, but I am trying to concentrate on the good stuff so those things can just simply bugger off.

And there are things that will not be coming my way at all this year. Those things can similarly bugger right off.

This is as close to optimism as I ever get people, enjoy.

Just this very second the boss of my old team (which was hacked apart late last year) but who still is technically the leader of the team I am on (keep up!) walked past my desk, Waved and said

"Happy New Year"

IT'S THE 7TH YOU NUMPTY! LEAVE IT!
