  • ice cream Sunday

    us ice cream 2
    us ice cream1

    Dispite the way it looks, i did not eat this large bowl of ice cream myself, it's just Michelle managed to never have a spoon in her hand when a photo was taken. i am not greedy, if Gillian Mc keith reads this she can >:XX off. I am not eating healty food, better to die young and have fun than live to an old age, never eat any interesting food and be hated by everyone.

  • How old do I look?

    I am 37 years old.

    My sister is 34.

    A customer just came into the shop (it's a family business) and asked if she was my daughter!!!! XX(

  • After the storm.

    flood 3

    This is the entrance to Park gate shopping complex.

    flood

    Attercliffe, ton the road to Shefield city centre.
    flood 2

    This is the pedestrian precinct in Rotherham, looks more like a river.

    Most of South yorkshire is at a stand still. Some areas of Sheffield are being rationed on electricity, and having three hour black outs to conserve energy due to most of the sub stations being under water.

    Many roads are closed, causing those that are open to be gridlocked. My usual ten minute drive to work took almost an hour.

    Our car was due in for it's MOT yesterday, the garage is under water now, as are many shops.If it had been a day earlier it would have been there when the waters came.
    My aunt and uncle have five inches of water through the entire house.

    Ulley Dam is about to burst its banks, they have worked through the niht to try to pump out the water, if it does burst it wil flod great areas of Rotherham, all the people close by have ben evacuated, the M1 is closed, no trains are running, most of the busses are canceled.

    Meadowhall shopping mall is under three inches of water, will be closed for several days.many roads and bridges are collapsed, and so far there have been five fatalities.

    Now it's raining again. it's awful.

  • wet wet wet 2

    This is where we usually shop. it is madness here in Yorkshire! At least the rain has stopped, but nothing in Shefield and Rotherham is open.

  • worst rain for fifty years

    Yes, we appear to have been hit by the worst rain for half a century. My wife is un able to get home from work, the person taking over from her unable to get in, so she has been at work since 8am, tried to leave at 4, got turned back by the police, and is now staying and doing the night shift. why? This is the road home!!!!

  • music

    I was talking to a friend over the weekend about the post i did on Friday about the bloke claiming he had a dissability because he could only listen to heavy metal music. My friend said he sympathised with him, claiming he too had a similar affliction and could also only listen to rock music.

    To me, music is music, be it Rock, Metal, jazz, country, folk, soul....why does it need to be pigeon holed. music is music, and comes into just two catagories, Good or Bad.

    Anyone dissagree? ;D

  • wet wet wet

    is this rain ever going to let up?
    it's summer for God's sake. It's lunch time now and my fet are still sodden, perhaps it was a mistake to wear trainers today.

    I got ready to leave for work tis morning, torential rain, looked in my wallet, a twenty pound note, no change...bus drivers dont like it when you offer a note for the £1.10 fair, so i had to walk to the local shop, i say local, it must be a ten minute walk. Rain still heavy, wind blowing, umberella blows inside out, and i am soaked to the skin.

    A large truck goes through a puddle, sprays me head to toe, like i wasnt wet enough already..

    To cut a long story short, four hours later, dispite the fact that i have been inside now all this time i am still not dry, and, not a single person has been in the shop, so i may as well have taken the day of anyway.

    On the radio now they are talking of flooding, and roads beeing closed. I may not even get home tonight.

    Bloody British weather..:##

  • customer care line

    I noticed on the box as i ate my Kellogs breakfast cereal the Customer help line, and a telephone number. It just made me think, like at what point do you call? Is it like, an advice thing...

    'yes, i've put them in a bowl. what do i do next?.....Milk, hang on, i think i have some of that......what, on top? How much, just a little or submerge them completely?.....ok, done that......Spoon..Is that the one with the prongs? oh, the one like a ladle yes, ok...oh, so i eat it like soup?.........no, nothing else you can do for me, you have been very helpfull, thank you'

  • song



    Nelly Furtado - You dont mean nothing at all to me

  • 24 hours with

    I have just one question with regards said programme. What's the point? So interviewer and interviewee spend 24 hours in a room together, then it is broadcast in a 26 min slot. what a waist of time.

  • I very much beg your parden?

    Saw this in todays paper....

    HEADBANGING IS RULED A DISABILITY.

    A Heavy metal fan is to receive disability allowance because he is addicted to loud music. Roger Tullgren has battled for ten years to have his obsession classified as a handicap. Now the part time dishwasher will pocket a top up from the state worth around £65 oer week. Mr Tullgren, 42 of Sweeden said: "I can't listen to other types of music-heavy metal is my life" :crazy:

  • Manhunt two

    So, censors have banned the computer game Manhunt two becaise of its 'cassual sadism, and unrelented focus on slaying'. Is that not what Quinten Taranteno has carved his whole carea on?

    I am not in favour of censorship for the simple fact, I dont like being told that I cant do, or watch something. I want that choice my self.

    Since the very earliest computer games we hav had shoot em up games, we have grown to love them over the years. we havnt all become killers, nor are we likely too, or am i wrong?

    Is any one in agreement with the censors on this?

  • A play that i wrote

    Some of you will know that i am attempting to write a script, a sort of piolet for a sit com. This is still a work in progress, and may change a lot before i get a final draft, but i just thought i would share a littl of it. feel free to be critical.

    She didn’t have a tash.
    TYLER:
    So why did you call her Tash?
    REECE:
    Everyone called her Tash. It was short for Natasha.
    TYLER:
    I thought people called her Nat
    REECE:
    No body called her Nat apart from you. She hated Nat.
    TYLER:
    She never said.
    REECE:
    She used to tell you all the time, she used to sign all your Christmas and birthday cards Tash

    Oh, that’s who that was. I always thought I had a secret admirer.
    REECE:
    Well anyone who admired you would certainly want to keep it secret.

  • never can say goodbye


    When I posted the 'bye bye' blog yesterday i had seriously intended that to be my final post, thinking I could just slip out the back door un noticed, and that be an end to it.

    When I started this blog it was just meant as a way of getting my poetry out to a wider audience, i never imagined i would find my self gettin so addicted to it, so caught up in other peoples lives, people i have never met began to become inportant to me, and i needed to read their posts, your posts on a regular basis or i began to have strange withdrawal smptoms.

    Last night, i lay awake in bed and the blog was calling out to me like some kind of siren song....'Andrew...Andrew...dont you want to know what everyone is up too? Do you not want to read everybodys posts?' I lay there wishing that i hadn't posted that post, thinking, if i change my mind now and go back on it i will look stpupid, but i didnt even last a day before i had to come and see what was going on, just a quick peek i promised my self, yea, a quick peek. i can manage that!

    Looks like i'm here to stay, i guess once the blog has you it's for keeps, thanks for the messages everyone, but i guess your stuck with me. :lalala:

    before i do sign off for today, i just need to share this with you. Today i bought the DVD Queer as folk, writen by the brilliant Russel T Davies, who was the one brought back the fantastic Doctor Who. A friend of mine asked,

    "why did you buy Queer as folk? Your not gay"

    I wasnt sure what to say, so i just said,

    "I'm not a Time lord but i watch Doctor who.":P

  • bye bye..


    :wave::wave::wave:

  • The Mary Whitehouse experience




    Loved this show. I cant find it on DVD, The BBC should release it. Together David Baddiel, Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis and Rob Newman were the Mary Whitehouse experience. It's long overdue a repeat run.







    I know it's a lot of clips, but they are all so good.

  • Scientology

    I dont know whether it's a Scientology thing, but has anybody noticed that Tom Cruise and John Travolta never seem to age? U-(

  • Andy Williams

    Want to win Andy Williams tickets? They are giving away two tickets on our local radio, just fill in the missing word on the Andy Williams song.

    Music to watch ? by......well it's not sheep is it?

  • Britains got tallent!

    Watching that show i dont think it has. Why do all the mentals come out in force at the mere mention of 'reality tv?'. :crazy:

    The bloke with Domino the duck, and the puupet on a string thing, oh, and the transvetite Kylie bloke....them bottle juglers were pretty good though, and the guy at the end last night with the guitar. what a voice. thats tallent.

  • You have to see this!

  • some men!

    I just heard some bloke on the radio who said his wife had a stroke two years ago and he had to learn to 'wash,cook and iron' overnight. It's not rocket science is it? I lived on my own for seven years before i met Michelle. If a numpty like me can do it.......

  • good weekend

    Had a fantastic meal on Friday night at 'The Story teller'. dispite my promise to eat something healty all my good intentions ebbed away and i had steak and ale pie and chips, Michelle was good and had chicken pata alfredo.

    Spent most of the weekend in the garden. Finished putting up the green house on Saturday morning, then in the afternoon took the lap top out and sat in the sun working on my 'comedy script'. i dont holsd out much hope for it going very far, but i'm enjoying writing it.

    Yesterday we bought a new BBQ from Wilkinsons. It was only £3. Its only small, but there are only two of us and we have a large bag of charcoal in the shed that my parents gave us last year when they up graded from a chorcoal BBQ to a gas one. In the summer time our neighbours over the back fence have one every couple of days, and it always smells so good. Why does food taste better when it's eaten outside?

    Me and Michelle both had the entire weekend off, that doesnt happen very often so when it does we like to make the most of it, and this weekend even the weather was good.

    It was only two days, but i feel as though i was away from work for ages. BVack down to Earth with a bang today though, a couple of rush jobs in, needed straight away( How can having pictures framed be such an emergancy? Why do people always want it yesterday?).

    I am the only framer here, i have about thirty pictures in waiting to be framed, customersd dont seem to grasp this sometimes, like they think there picture is the only one, and they ask things like 'Do you do it whilst i wait?' and look at me in amazement when i tell them up to two weeks.

    The latest thing here at Wellgate arts and crafts is the web site, and we now have an e bay account to start selling on line, also in the next month or so we are getting the equipment to transfer peoples paintings and photos onto canvas, and cross stich and tapestry to allow people to sew their own photo. All this is going to mean more work, but we need something to get the business on it's feet.

    Better get back to it i guess. bie for now. :wave:

    us

    This is us on our honeymoon in Jamaica. I wish we were there now.

  • wedding day

    wedding day

    This was taken about this time, five years ago to the day. What a fantastic day it was. I remember becoming very emotional, cried during the vows in church, cried during my speach at the reception. Five years down the line and we are still as in love as we ever were. Not ionly is Michelle my wife, but also my best friend.
