Bored Stiff

Well the leg is healing slowly, though the boredom is killing me, so is the irregular sleep. I'm missing work and a routine. All I seem to be doing is watching crappy daytime TV, playing video games or watching dvds for the umpteenth time.

soooo BORED!

I need a woman around here with a big arse and tits that kisses like a sink plunger to keep me busy!

Footy

I'm not a great lover of football. Sure, I watch World and European cups and enjoy the occasion, I also look out for the Notts County result come Saturday. It occured to me last night whilst watching the England Vs Croatia European qualifier that it's always expected that we win or qualify every single time. Well yes, thats the name of the game I hear you all say.

The thing is, it seems to be always read that England qualify or reach a tournament, it's just unthinkable to lose. It is always a case of 'We are England - we should be there' irrespective of if we actually play crap football along the way which results in us not qualifying, I just hate the 'we should be there no matter what because we are England' mentality.

I'm as patriotic as the next Englishman, I love to see us win, mainly because its bloody good for national morale, lets be honest we don't have much to celebrate these days do we?

So this time for the European qualifiers we didn't play so well, but thats sport, you win some - you lose some, to cap it all we got our arse kicked last night and we are out of the European cup.

Reality check.

So today we sack our manager and will most probably take on another foreign manager in the next few days, who of course we will over pay - and so the circle goes on.

Ouch time (again)

Got back out of hospital yesterday after getting the right hip sorted. I feel drained and sore. Last night, even though I was in my own bed I took ages to drift off to sleep, that said, I did sleep ok when I eventually fell into slumber.

The operation was done by my consultant at the Nuffield private hospital to cut down on the NHS waiting etc, the NHS paid - bless them! The thing is, private hospitals are lonely places, there's no common or smoke room at the end of the ward, I'd have gladly braved cigarette smoke for some company. my room was ok, en suite with a small portable tv, sadly it was situated near the main ward reception desk, so not all that quiet with room alarms going off regularly.

Nurses are no different in private hospitals, no less busy, apart from one who was a total idle cow. On the whole they do a marvellous job and in fairness I was a moaning git after the op with all the pain. So, private hospitals, apart from the food being only marginally better aren't really any different from NHS ones, more soulless perhaps.

So, here is a photo of my lovely bruising I took a couple of hours ago, it's spreading nicely down my leg!

Little things mean a lot

Today I left 'Unique Social Enterprise' where I'd been working for the last few months, I left because I have to go into hospital tomorrow for the second hip replacement operation.
Just before leaving today I was surprised to be presented with a couple of really cool leaving presents and a farewell card, it was unexpected as I've not really been there that long but I ended up hiding a rising lump in my throat. Such a lovely bunch of people to work with and such a great place for young people get education and life skills.
It's been a pleasure working there and thanks to everyone!

Madness

I Read this story on the net today.

Another reason religeon is beyond comprehension at times, a mother refusing a blood transfusion, her kids live, she dies - crazy. It wasn't so long back I had Jehovah's witnesses at my door with their twisted magazines they leave you to browse. In the issue they gave me it mentioned how to check that you aren't really gay! Of course what they were really saying is in their eyes its wrong to be gay. Of course if you think you may be gay the jehovahs witness answer is 'Throw all your anxieties upon jehovah in prayer, confident that he cares for you' or... 'this can give you the power beyond what is normal to keep you acting on wrong desires. Quoted of course from their bible, as they tend to back everything up with quotes anyway.

Get in an argument with them, show them logic and the quotes come at which they stick rigidly too.

Barking mad, the lot of them!
