You know you make me wanna shout!

Well it's all happening here readers. I have added a "Shout Box" to my side bar. You will have to scroll down to see it. In the shout box you can put in your name, type a short message, and post it. Feel free to shout about anything you want!

A spot of lunch.

Today I woke up feeling the effects of yesterday evening when Adam, Carl, Gemma, Jo, and myself went up to the Jug of Ale in Moseley. We had been to Becketts driving range before hand so we were feeling a bit thirsty. Carl and Gemma drove so, for once, I could have a drink.....

... So i did...

... I had 4 Guinness and blacks, and each pint was followed by a double Jack Daniels. This morning my body was a muddle of dehydration and mild alchohol poisoning. I cleared this up by having breakfast... So I had 3 bowls of Kellogs crunchy nut corn flakes. I then received a text message off Gemma asking me if I would like to "do" lunch. Since it has been a while since I met an attractive young lady to take to lunch I agreed. We met in the White Swan and I bought both of ours (See, I can be quite the gentleman at times, mind you, £2.99 for a carvery! Can't go wrong!) Serving the carvery was a chap who looked just like frank spencer (ooh, Betty) but he was very loud and over-chatty with all the pensioners.

Afterwards, Gemma had to get back to work and I came home. I remembered that yesterday the subject of school plays came up so I dug out "Beauty and the Beast" which was my big acting debut.... Sort of. I was "Ugly sister 2" and was in full drag. I made a note of who's who in the play and will lend it to Gemma or Jo at some point so that they can have a laugh at my expense. It really is funny watching me and Lank parade around in drag, arguing over a hat! Most of our lines were Ad-libbed so it was never the same twice! Ah... Happy days... Although if you think about it, what type of school makes two 8 year old boys perform a drag act?

Right. Thats enough for now readers. TTFN.

Question: If you put a bird in a wind tunnel, would it stay still in mid air?

I'm all set for the festival

Look what came for me this afternoon...

100th Post!

Yes readers. this is my 100th posted entry. Now I realise that people like Mr Robinson have achieved this milestone eons ago but I felt that I ought to mention it non the less. Gemma sent me a message earlier saying that she couldn't get a half day off work so we couldn't go and get her navel pierced. She will go next thursday, so I will be on hand to assist in any way possible. I phoned Jo today to ask her how her holiday went. The phone rang out, then I heard someone pick up and then turn the phone off.... I was most shocked. I have tried calling three times since and the phone is still switched off... She should be coming out later with the gang so I will ask her then what was going on... Well thats my day... Oh I have started work on a painting for a couple at the Legion who are moving to Greece. They want the name of their house (which is "Vine View Villa") on a wooden plaque. The couple in question is Derek and Helen who used to run the off licence next to the chemists by Morgam News (for those of you who know wythall.) They are a great couple and I am honoured that a piece of my work will be on display on the side of their new home. I have only just begun it so here is a sample of what will be the lower left section...

After it is all painted (The text at the top will be the most difficult) It will be cut into a wiggly type shape and sealed with a soft varnish. It should look really nice.

Well thats about it for today readers. TTFN
