December 09 That's lifeI was on my way home from T's tonight. A very long walk in the cold, with only a t-shirt as the barrier between me and the night air. As I walked a thought fell into my mind.
The second I get a better offer I am out of here.
I could hear that phrase inside my head all the way home. I guess my new job helped me realise what really matters in life. Being valued. Even with my new job, there is nothing that I do here that couldn't be done better by the next scmuck who walks by. The same goes wihout saying at home. And that's why I'm gonna look for the "better offer".
As a great man once said "not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here"
So, I'm off. With any luck I won't be coming back.
Dave December 03 Made by geeks for stupid peopleHi all
After going to a house party last night and having quite a lengthy discussion about music with a very sadly misinformed moron I have decided to let you all in on a little secret. If your favourite kind of music is any of the following; House, trance, dance, jungle, drum and bass (I think you've got the idea) you have a problem. This music is the music of choice for chavs. It is made by speccy little men who sit at a PC and point and click to produce it. There is no writing involved. No composition. And if they're using a keyboard it is a QWERTY one. If any of it is any good its the stuff where they've at least put in the effort to find a real piece of music and sample (e.g. Fatboy Slim). Or even better, if they actually have written something and then further produced it (e.g. Prodigy). The rest (which is sadly an overwhelming majority of it) is so bad it completely negates the effects of the good stuff. Please people, don't lower yourselves to this repetitive, musically lacking nonsense. It's bad enough that some people choose to dress like chavs.
Rant over
The rest of the night was actually quite enjoyable. The drinking games were good and were certainly more enjoyable with our latest creation. Take some of the Toffee Vodka Treat mentioned in one of my previous blogs, a bit of milk (not a lot) and two bananas. Chuck the whole lot in a blender and you get... Banoffee vodka shake! Tasted fantastic too.
And that was last night.
Stay frosty
Dave December 01 Not totally uselessHey people
After nearly a month of saying "I'm looking for a job" and not actually doing anything more than that it would appear that I have managed to land on my feet yet again. On Friday I sent an email application to a job on Bathstudent.com. On the same day I got reply asking me if I wanted an interview on Tuesday. By 5pm Tuesday I had a job. I'm in the money, I'm in the money, I've got a lot of what it takes to get along.
In other news yesterday's use of orange wednesdays was to see The Constant Gardener. It was very good film and I enjoyed it a lot. It was just unlucky that the 6:00 pm showing that we wanted was sold out by the time we got there. So we bought tickets for the 9:00 pm showing and went for a quick drink before heading home to get something to eat. Inside Wetherspoons the following notice was displayed at the bar:
Due to Technical
Issues unfortantly
we are unable to
serve hot drinks
at this time
appoligies for any inconveince
Being the kind of people who don't tolerate fools gladly we decided to point out the errors to the barmaid and then correct them on the sheet. I know its sounds sad but at the time it was rather funny. Oh and this isn't saying that people who work in spoons are stupid. Admittedly there are some stupid people there. You can't escape stupid people. They are everywhere. Its just that Fab works there. He must be the only exception though.
Then, on the way home, we saw someone we knew dressed convincingly as a chav. So much so that Kieran didn't recognise her until she turned around. I won't name names. You know who you are! Maybe it was fancy dress, but I doubt it.
More lyrics will appear soon. You have been warned...

Dave November 28 8 Hours, 4 DVDs, 1 Challenge and a comb overHi everybody!
Hi Dr Dave!
Well I thought that I should add another entry after the events that occurred Saturday evening. 8:00 pm rolls around. Eastwood and I are bored of whats on the box and we want a decent excuse not to do work. So after a little time spent thinking we decided to start the lethal weapon marathon. It was all going so well until we realised that we were going to have to move after #2. Kieran's sister and her boyfriend were staying the night so he was spending it on the sofa in the living room. We took the DVDs and Eastwood's laptop into my room and watched the rest til 4:00 am Sunday morning. It was all going so well too, until about half way through #4 we both got hungry and couldn't go into the kitchen for fear of waking up Kieran. Then I started yawning towards the end of #4. Thank god it was the last one.
So that sorts out the first 3 parts of this blog's title. The last one? No, I don't have one. My father does. Admittedly it's not the worst one in the world, but it was enough for me to ring him up on Saturday to tell him that top gear were looking for people with comb overs. Weirdly he didn't give me the usual answer of "it's hereditory" he just thought it was a good excuse to get on top gear.
And here ends another entry for everyone.
Well nearly everyone.
Stay frosty
Dave November 26 Ahh... finallyAfter a very long time, the Rooksbridge 28 clan had a proper night out. And oh my, it was wonderful.
First though I think there should be a special birthday for Kieran.
Happy Birthday Kieran!
And now I'll get on with it. Last night we had plannd everything for the birthday boy's celebrations. We started back in the house wit beer, pizza, cake and a new drink. Take a 70cl bottle of what has become known as "flat packed vodka" (actually its probably best not to use this stuff) and warm it in a saucepan on a slow heat (being careful not to let it boil). Then mix in a bottle of toffee flavoured treat ice cream syrup. Once the two have fully mixed allow them to cool (don try it warm, its minging trust me). And thats it. Many thanks to Hambrey for the recipe. Works a treat! The new creation we now call toffee vodka treat. Other than that, the cake was delicious. Well done Ali.
Next on the map was Wetherspoons. A few coronas and meeting the people who were too lazy to meet us at the house and we were off to location number 3.
Revs! Oh yes. The six shot rule was implemented with the exception of Steve-o. In total we went to the bar and ordered 42 shots. The barmaid was a little shocked. They used a wooden shot holder that carries 30 shots and is over metre long. We have it now. Thank you Eastwood, and your "wooden" leg. To be far the shots were all fairly minging, but then I got the really bad mint one on either the second or third shot. The rest just tasted like vommit.
Then on to Qube. The drinks were a bit pricey, but otherwise the place is nice. We stayed there the whole night (obviously not overnight, just til we couldn't drink no more). We drank, we danced (the push it dance on broken glass - oooh thats gotta hurt) and we laughed. It was really great.
Then back home. Kieran had to go with Ali to sort out Ofir (after going to Guppy she was trashed apparrently) so the rest of us walked back to Rooksbridge walk only stopping to help Caroline get a shopping trolley into her house. Upon getting in we decided it was time to empty the ten bin liners full of balloons (that Eastwood and I had blown up the night before) into Kieran's tiny room.
Oh and the other night I had a conversation after seeing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (fantastic film - go watch it!) I was issued a challenge to get another piece for the costume. Te story behind te costume is that coming back from the pub crawl Eastwood and myself found ourselves talking to a girl from bath spa. I was wearing my pub crawl t-shirt and he said she wanted it so I asked for a swap. So we swapped, right there in the street. And now her top is hanging up in our kitchen. Thanks Laura. Well, I failed the challenge last night. Mind you there's quite a collection already there.
Oh and for the first time in a long time I woke up with a hangover.
So, a brief update complete
Stay Frosty
