str8 boys and girls

this week has been one long revelation – 2 of the girls I get on with well in the office are having secret liaisons with guys who work or worked in the office. and they are both so hunky and unattainable 🙁

andrew reckons I go for the unattainable – makes you wonder how I ever end up with a boyfriend then doesn’t it

strange dreams

Sunday night I dreamt that jonathan & marky, scally & rick, spence & glen, nic & vianney with andrew, dave and myself in tow had gone to the supermarket to buy supplies for christmas as we were all spending it together at my parents house.

we were all arguing which spirits and champagne to buy and whether to fly to liverpool or get a train.

and then somehow we were already in liverpool and had ended up at a bowling alley playing in the dark with glowing bowling balls and lots of semi naked staff with there tops off with dodgy elevator muzac versions of christmas carols but with a distinctly almighty records kind of beat. the bar had a viewing gallery overlooking us and loads of my family were there watching us all play but they all had evening wear on and sipping champagne.

corporate away messages

okay so whilst I was off we had a mandate about our email signatures – they must all conform to the new standard – I’m left wondering how long it will take before we have corporate away messages…

I’m currently away from my machine doing extremely important corporate stuff so please email me at my business email: address or call me at my business phone: number!

any better suggestions?

2001 is pants

maybe I am being paranoid but I’m sick again – coughing yet again and breathless 🙁 I hate this year – I feel like I haven’t been well since the summer – I know this really isn’t true but that’s how it feels at the moment.

So not been online much and no updates either.

With my boss off on her honeymoon though I am a little worried work is piling up in my absence.

lovely weekend up in the grim north – very relaxing.

I wish my mum had mentioned however that the party I was going up for [my grandad’s 90th birthday] was happening on the friday night not the saturday night as they had planned – as it was Andrew, sprogg and I arrived around midnight just in time to have the entire family join us for drinks.

Now don’t get me wrong I love seeing all of my family – just not in the same place at the same time – poor Chris was very quiet – a little overwhelmed.

Then to make matters worse my parents house was completely full – and that is quite difficult to imagine – it has 10 bedrooms [really it does] so Chris ended up on a sofa in one of the lounges and Andrew and I ended up sharing a bed for the first time in ages.

Now all those times I wanted him to share a bed at my parents we were put in seperate rooms let alone seperate beds and this time my mother sees fit to put us in the same bed gah!

So saturday we took the dogs [jack came up with one of andrew’s] for a walk on our rollerblades and it made a nice change to see gaps between houses and roads without cars parked on them.

In the afternoon Andrew went off for a disco nap so Chris and I took my cousin stephen into the village on the blades and then for a bit of a bender down to the coastguards station at Hall Road and past my old school [Manor High in Crosby]. By the evening we managed to eat a chines banquet – it was a definite fend for yourself meal with some people missing out on the good stuff!

then andrew and I went for drinks to a local pub to meet some of my old friends which was fun – catching up on what they had all been up to. getting the gossip of the last few months and making plans for trips down to london – since my brother is in surrey not singapore now seems more people want to venture south!

Andrew got a little tipsy and we headed on back to my parents.

en-scouse

okay I’ve had quite enough of this scouse bashing for one week. what with rob’s link to en-scouse and then Andrew sends me a mail today [he is coming to Liverpool with me at the weekend with sprogg] saying he has been teaching sprogg some of the scouse verbs he will need.

to nick

to scouse

to steal

to acquire

to shoplift

to ramraid

to joyride

to deck’em one

and then useful phrases like;

‘aiii! sof-lad!’

‘aaarite’

‘are iain’

‘like’

‘is that your car [sonny]’

‘crimbo’

he forgot to mention to pack his sportskit though – more footy gear than a sports and shorts night!
