Well hello again campers, as I write this it is 22:21 on this Sunday evening and I must admit I am upset. Today I found out that I couldn’t really go for the car of my dreams, the VW POLO. It was a reality check (as well as the finances going against me) that I have once again been forced to accept the fact that that truly nice things are out of my reach.

You see I saw a really really nice Diesel VW in Chester, and all in all things were fairly certain. However now it’s all gone up the wall and I am resigned to the fact that I am stuck with the Ford Fiesta for the time being, unless my hand really is forced (i.e. the thing breaks yet again) in which case I have no real idea what I will do.

You see I had started looking again at cars to avoid the same thing happening like what happened at Glastonbury, basically breaking down on the way and waiting for the RAC to come out. Yesterday I was ready to say, F**k it, to hell with the expense I want a really nice car if i am going to be stuck with one, and today, Reality comes in and ruins it all once again.

I am now at the point of being royally f**ked off with the whole situation in general, because of the amount of work I do, is not equal to what I get paid, it leaves me at the moment wondering if i would have been better off becoming a salesman or some silly thing like that, as they get commission and other stupid bonuses.

Me, well I have on call once in a while and a welcome “You’re doing a good job” from Paul (my no longer boss, but still good egg) every day. I guess as far as that goes I have to push with all I can at work and see what happens.

Sorry campers, that was clearly a rant. And you don’t come here for rants do you? Well actually if you do, then I hope I pleased you greatly with that fantastic snippet of real life. My god, I’ve become a grumpy old man at 24. What the hell? Didn’t see that coming at all. Mind you it all sneaks up to you in time I guess.

Saw Dave and Chris today, along with at long long long long long long long…

Several minutes later…

long long long long long last, my Stargate DVDs which I lent him two years ago!!! My word!! But fair play mate, you said you would return them one day and by George you were right. They now have their tickets and travel directions for Friday’s fun and frolics in Shrewsbury, and also we eat lots.

It was good that Shrewsbury seemed to agree with both chaps, see it’s not all bad round here in sunny (cough heavily) Shropshire and well It will be our first official outing on Friday with a mixture of people from sunny Wales (Dave and Chris) and sunny Shropshire (Steve and Kristi) so hope jobs a good ‘un folks.

Speaking of Steve and Kristi, saw them last night for a night of fun out on the town, where we (Steve, Matt and I) engaged in talk about general rubbish and leaching at various ladies of the evening which is always nice. But the thing which appeared to me: Nothing had changed since the last time we had all ventured out on the town, exact same music, exact same people going blsurhadbhef (supposed to be drunk talk there), but there was one major difference.

The smoking ban was in effect. Oh yes, now in the UK you must smoke outside regardless unless it was a open area with a roof in public, and you really can tell the difference, only my ears hurt the next day as opposed to my badly working lungs being forced to work for air. This new ban was only a good thing to me, and my clothes didn’t stink for the first time, except for sweat and that doesn’t count because I smell like flowers!

Spoke to Natalie on Thursday to see how she was and I will hear the full report when she comes home. A few reality checks with her occurred, so it is biting everyone all round. Heard from Simon, and Sorry mate, we always seem to miss each other on the phone, never mind!

That’s it for now campers I am afraid, other things will be on here soon and all I can say for now, is have fun, no matter the cost!
