Well as promised after an absence of more than 13 days, I have returned from the social and economic wilderness known to those people as life. Again a fair amount has been happening over the last 13 days so I will condense down into the headlines so far, and then elaborate further for your dining and dancing pleasure:

• Work: Too MUCH!! It never ends, and slowly but surely tis wearing me down. Yarr tis a beast of a job to be sure.
  To aid in recovery from said occupation, I will be taking time off soon, even for a week in November and a long weekend in December. Proper Bo as they say.
• Seen Lovely Natalie quite a lot, pushing college work out the window in the process. Given the choice of work or the company of a woman, what would you pick? Yes I went back to the Network Concepts assignment… 🙂 Still a gray area here in terms of the future, but I think we will carry on some form even when she goes back. Oh dear, could it be that serious?
• Have been updating the wardrobe (has a nice wooden door on it now)
• No wait scrap the above, I mean, the stuff I wear, as it came to my attention that I stuff so much crap down my trousers (as if there wasn’t enough,
  Cue drum role) that my hips are almost a meter in length. Spent far too much again, and I will suffer in the long term.
• Speaking of money I am on limited supply owing to the Car TAX, MOT and Service Coming up, along with of course clearing the debts of olde, Hell Even will have Paid off the laptop now at the end of October. TIS MINE All MINE!! BWAHAHAHA! The trip to London is this Friday and next week sees the grand weekend to Liverfool of which I anticipate I will be staring at people on one of those Oxfam adverts asking for just £2 a month, and I send them a blog entry along with some dirt from the back garden.
• Pi**ed off my good friend Tom, of which it is a boring soap opera story and therefore can’t be arsed writing. Suffice it to say twas entirely my fault.
• Went out in Telford for a couple of Thursdays after college (only up the road so can’t be bad) Was stone cold sober all the way through, WAAAAA! Why god do you punish me so?
• Made 178 remarks about how attractive some women were and the nasty things I wanted to do to them.
• Remarkable fact of zero beatings for said comments
• Now expects beatings as result of saying had no beatings.
• Have 3 assignments from College to do, if anyone can be bothered to write the systems analysis one for me, that would be great!!
• Drank a couple of gallons of chocolate milkshake
• Only been to the gym twice. FAT prevails!
• Finally cut my toenails with scissors rather than chewing them.
• Made the above comment up to shock people and provide a laugh to three people who would have found it funny
• Lost that piece of paper with the glasses I wanted to get with after trying them on at Specsavers. Tried some on today in Telford at lunch time and got those instead, paying a fortune in the process. They are Hugo boss one’s though, and now I look slightly less like a prat than normal.
• Got invited to a house party by a barmaid, Sam who works in the Weatherspoons in Telford. In case anyone is wondering she is attractive and you would. Alas my busy schedule may not allow for turning up.
• Met up with Chris Wood during the day last Saturday to watch the grudge 2, which was Bo**ocks. Had a better time chatting in Frankie and Benny’s afterwards in which all metaphysical rights were put to. That and he informed of news which is of cause for celebration, champagne, caviar the full works. Well the full works on toast at least, maybe with some jam.
• Got proof that more than two people read the blog, as Lesley emailed me!! WOW, the system works! Well as you read this before Lesley, I hope at least this blog is not a complete waste of your time, and I suppose it’s knackered emailing to a certain extent as I put everything down here what I do feel and say. But all in all, fantastic to hear from you again, and I look forward to catching up.
• Glyn has said that New’s Years in manchester in definitely going ahead now.
• No-one else has sorted out new year’s eve yet.
• Guess what I am going to do then?
• That’s right, I do some ironing and whistle down the chimneys. Anyone who would have got that random answer, needs help.

That’s the headlines condensed into nice little points there. Other things I am going to remark on; Touchwood broadcast last night on BBC 3, the new
spin off from Doctor Who. And I must confess, although the idea of a sex mad alien who feeds off orgasmic energy makes me smile (including the kissing scene with Gwen :)and is my idea of a show, at the moment I think it’s going to be a grower as It’s slick, moves very fast paced, but doesn’t seem to be right. Maybe it’s just me getting used to that level of swearing and violence in the Doctor Who universe. I think the doctor would be very much out of place in Torchwood, but it would need him at one point methinks.

The podcast ideas and script is in production along with trying to get the right background music, of which is a nightmare due to copyright laws, and at it stands the first one is going to be the best of the blog with one or two new segments thrown in for a bit of fun. A decent mic is also on the agenda of things to do, but as it stands with all that is going on atm, it is very hard to find time for all this. Hell this blog, which I do pride myself on keeping up to date has suffered a bit in recent times. Hopefully in my time off, I can get some more work done on this here thingy, and perhaps finalise the podcast ready for production. Who knows?

A big hello to everyone again and from me this is Paul Hughes, now avalible in Mint Flavour.
