I like the idea of having the weekend to myself. For some stupid reason i've been playing rugby for the past 20+ years which means that I don't have them.
Friday night plans: Sitting in with a bottle of wine and watching a shitty movie with Harriet.
Saturday: I need to buy a winter coat
Sunday: Off to see Ross Noble in Covent Garden
Monday: I have the day off, but i'll probably just chill out and do nothing.
Only 13 and a half days left of work this year. Yeeee haaaaa!

Handy Stuarty
Fixed my cupboard and lights last night.
And that's without tools. Brute force and luck.
Plus, I made spaghetti bolognaise but unfortunately I don't have a tin opener so had to stab the can of tomatoes open with a knife. So if I don't manage to make Ben's birthday meal / drinks...
...think of me in A&E with internal bleeding.

Ha, ha, ha! I know i'm good...

7 and a half days holiday left to use up this year
Any suggestions on what I should do?
I can't really take much off this month as it's probably the busiest time of the year. Plus we're in a transition phase with one of our data feeds. Basically all hands on deck.
One idea is to take all Mondays and Fridays off in the month of December. One downside of that is that they realise that i'm only needed on 3 days of the week...
I could take the christmas weeks off, I don't see the point of this as there aren't many people in at that point so I could get away with coming in late, going away early and taking long lunches.
I could just go away somewhere for a long week before the christmas season.
Suggestions? Sensible ones?
----------------
Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that
each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his
choice.
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians
called it "Christmas" and went to church; the Jews called it "Hanukka"
and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People
passing each other on the street would say "Merry Christmas!" or "Happy
Hanukka!" or (to the atheists) "Look out for the wall!"

My weekend
Friday night
Watched a few programmes on TV, notably
Have I Got News For You
QI
Jonathan Ross
Saturday night
Quite heavily skewed in the way of sport. I watched some of the cricket and Soccer AM in the morning then watched England v's Australia at Rugby, then Argentina v's England at football. Incidentally one of the best games I have ever seen. I then went out in Greenwich with my German mathematician friend Markus.
Sunday night
I've finally put the required effort into Football Manager, finished 4th with Liverpool. Might start again this week and start the game unemployed. Graft in the lower leagues before taking up the challenge of world domination.

Wow! A free weekend
My first free weekend in absolutely ages. What on earth is going on?
A handful of my old Bristol friends were supposed to come along to London this weekend but for one reason or another it's been put back a few weeks.
My question is, what do I do? I'm not going back home anymore to play rugby so what do normal people do at weekends?
I might do some more clothes shopping, but not sure if i'm mentally strong enough to stop myself punching random twats who get in my way in the build up to christmas.
I really should go to the gym, i've been slacking recently, too much on and far too tired in the morning or when I get back from work.
I've been neglecting football manager since I bought it a month ago. I haven't really invested enough time in my tactics so have been losing. I must persevere.
There's international rugby and football on TV this Saturday so I could watch both of them. Although watching rugby usually bores me, and whenever I pick a football game to watch I usually jinx the team I support.
It's a tough one. Any suggestions? Any sensible suggestions?

Poker Evening 1
Although I didn't win all your money (£0), congratulation to Ben and Kris for sharing the pot. I think it was a success. It was a good laugh and worked well in what turned out to be a very cheap evening.
Perhaps next time we can get Dylan and Tim involved.

Just gone into Carphone Warehouse to see if I can upgrade my phone (Samsung D600) and they said it would cost £130.

Good morning
Good morning gentlemen.
Did you all have a lovely weekend? Thankfully I managed to avoid doing anything yesterday so am almost recovered from 4 big (ish) days of drinking.
Going to try and have a week off the booze this week. Wish me luck...! My main problem is that i'm far too weak. I'll be ready to leave work, go home and have a quiet night then someone would ask if I fancied a couple before we went home. Unfortunatly "yep" is usually my answer.
I must be strong.
On another note. Watched Hellboy last night. Not bad. Not good either. Although it help waste a couple of hours of my life, as did Firefly day on Sky (130). Oddly it didn't have the same appeal as when I first watched it.
P.S. I hate Chelsea! And to top it off Bikini Beach is no more 232 / 278. The last one was yesterday.

Nor could storm or wind uproot him.
My own dear love, he is all my heart
And I wish somebody'd shoot him.

SC Movie Review 2
Spiderman II
Nothing on TV last night so I flicked through the movie channels. I didn't bother watching Spiderman II in the cinema as wasn't that fussed by the first film, but thought I may as well give it a go. It was either that or go to the gym.
Why is he so gay? He's got a totally fit bird after him throughout the film and yet does nothing. The special effects weren't too impressive for a big budget film and there was a huge lull in the middle when not a lot happened apart from Tobey McGuire becoming more gay.
Apart from that it past a couple of hours in what was quite a forgettable evening.
IMDb Rating: 7.9
SC Rating: 3 potatoes

A little help from my friends
http://www.footballmanager2006.net/
There's a link to the Sports Interactive website on this page, unfortunatly due to websense being an arse I can't get access to it.
There's a beta version of FM06. If you could let me know the size or perhaps if you're extra special, download it and send it to my lycos...
A free beer is the prize.

safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and women
warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer.

Ross's birthday
Ross's birthday is on the 22nd of September and thought it would be nice if we could get him out for a beer or two and maybe a nice meal. Last time I spoke to him he suggested doing something at the end of the month to make sure that he's had enough time to recover.
Is everyone free on the 1st of October? I'll call him tonight and get some ideas on what he'd like to do. I imagine it'll be a quiet one without too much shenanigans.
On another note, although Ross is well on the way to recovery it would be nice if everyone can continue to pop in every now and again or perhaps a quick text / call to take the piss out of Nottingham Forest's division 1 form. He must be bored senseless sitting at home all day.

I'm so fcuking bored. There are even less people in today! ARGH!

I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat. Marcus Brigstocke at the Assembly Rooms.
Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation. Jimmy Carr.
The right to bear arms is slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm bears. Chris Addison at the Pleasance.
My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in Customs. Patrick Monahan at the Gilded Balloon.
The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be sh*tting herself. Colin & Fergus at the Pleasance
My parents are from Glasgow which means they're incredibly hard, but I was never smacked as a child ... well maybe one or two grams to get me to sleep at night. Susan Murray at the Underbelly
Is it fair to say that there'd be less litter in Britain if blind people were given pointed sticks? Adam Bloom at the Pleasance
My mum and dad are Scottish but they moved down to Wolverhampton when I was two, 'cause they wanted me to sound like a tw*t. Susan Murray at the Underbelly
You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you, because eventually you get tested. She'll go "What's my favourite flower?", and you murmur to yourself "Sh*t, I wasn't listening - self-raising?". Addy Van-Der-Borgh at the Assembly Rooms
The world is a dangerous place - only yesterday I went into Boots and punched someone in the face. Jeremy Limb, at the Trap
I saw that show '50 Things To Do Before You Die'. I would have thought the obvious one was Shout For Help!! Mark Watson, Rhod Gilbert at the Tron.

It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake. Chris Addison at the Pleasance.
I enjoy using the comedy technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not very good at it. Arnold Brown at The Stand.
If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that. Milton Jones at the Underbelly.

BT are fcuking sh!t
I took the morning off so that the Sky 'engineer' could come round and install Sky (what else would he install?).
A couple of weeks ago I had to do the same so that BT could do their work (£70 + Line rental). This was essential so that the Sky could get registered. I was informed that everything was okay. Not needing an actual phone I didn't test it myself.
However the Sky box couldn't find a BT signal.
Fucking shit fuck bollocks wank cocks cunt!
And what makes it worse, is that their faults line is all automated so I can't shout at some poor pleb at BT.

Family Guy
My brother's lent me a few DVDs
The highlight is
3.5 series of Family Guy (half of the fourth)
1 film of Family Guy
1 special of Family Guy
You will remember, Watson, how the dreadful business of the
Abernetty family was first brought to my notice by the depth which the
parsley had sunk into the butter upon a hot day.

Afternoon session
One of my bosses left yesterday so I joined him for a quick lunchtime drink to send him off. 7 stelwaars later I went home.
I came in early to do the work I was supposed to do yesterday and perhaps take the flak for having an 'extended' 'lunch'. But they didn't even notice we'd gone.
Should have had a lye in.

SC Movie Review 1
Man on Fire
Plot: A former assassin is hired to protect the daughter of a rich family in Mexico City. All goes wrong when she is kidnapped and in the bungled ransom payment ends up dead. Our hero Denzel does his duty and goes for lots of hurty payback.
I'm a big fan of Denzel and he certainly didn't disappoint here. Lots of action, bit of humour and lots of tasty revenge. I felt the story setting part at the beginning went on far too long which meant for an overly long film.
Overall, good film, watch it.
Rating:4 potatoes

I went to the gym last night forgetting that i'd given blood earlier in the day. I lasted a whole 5 minutes. Dumb ass!
I actually got a certificate and a pin thing as it was my 10th time. Although saying that, it's my 10th time in London, they lost my previous details. Dumb asses!
Woke up stupidly early this morning so went for a 45 min swim. The place was empty so might try it again.

Good news.
For those that don't already know, but i'm sure that most of you do by now. Ross is now back at home. So if you want to go and see him he's now back at Manitoba.

First Brighton, then the world
I went to Brighton this weekend.
Pretty good laugh. I met up with a few of my old uni mates, including Robyn. It was good to see them all. Some of which I haven't seen for over 3 years.
Hopefully it won't be 3 years till the next time.
They've all been away travelling at one time or another and absolutely loved it. I'm seriously tempted to try and get a sabbatical from work and take a couple of months away.

I'm off to Brighton on Saturday
I'm heading down to Brighton this Saturday to see a few of my old uni mates. Most of which I haven't seen for about 3 years, one of which is my ex, Robyn. Should be interesting...
Am quite looking forward to it really, if only to see how much everyone's swelled.
Marcella: You know, when you started getting invited to your ten year high school reunion, time is catching up.
Martin Q. Blank: Are you talking about a sense of my own mortality or a fear of death?
Marcella: Well, I never really thought about it quite like that.
Martin Q. Blank: Did you go to yours?
Marcella: Yes, I did. It was just as if everyone had swelled.
Top film.

Ross update 3
Ross is doing much better and wants to thank everyone who's come along to visit him over the past few days.
I saw him yesterday and he's now up and about, not as mobile as he'd like but considering how he was last week it's amazing.
Praise Jebus!
If you've seen the photos of the car wreck you'd be amazed too.
For anyone that hasn't been to see him yet, he's in Room 4 Fotheringhay Unit, in Kettering General. Visiting times are between 2-8pm.

I'm off to a Summer Ball tonight
Our annual Summer ball is on tonight, so i'll be tuxido'd up with a lovely bow tie.
I'll be sure to post lovely photos of me up on my Moblog as soon as I get them, although my phone's been playing up again so you may have to wait.

Good news
Just had a text from Shaheen and Ross should be getting transfered to Kettering in the next few days.
The DVD player is at Lloyd's but hasn't been passed onto me yet.

Bombs
Just got back from a team lunch, but heard the news from a text.
190 all out!
Seriously though, heard about the bombs too.
We were less than 10 mins walk from the Shoreditch bomb.
We've just been told to stay in the building....

Marge: Homer, is this the way you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much. Except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.

Ross
As you know Ross had a nasty car crash on Sunday morning.
I know we all wish him well.
Ross's still in a lot of pain but his Mum told me last night that the doctors think he'll be okay in a few months time. I think once he's stabilised they're going to try and take him to a specialist unit in Glasgow.
I'll try and keep you all up to date with events.
I'll probably try and head up early next week to see how he's getting on, if anyone else fancies a trip up to Scotland just let me know and we can sort it out together.
Get well soon cards would be nice too. For now, send them to
1 Manitoba Close

For your entertainment tonight
Escape from New York
10:00pm - 11:55pm
ITV2
Including Entertainment News Update at 10.55
Sullen Kurt Russell impersonates Clint Eastwood in this tough futuristic western from director John Carpenter that never surpasses or fulfils the ingenuity of its premise - Manhattan island as a maximum security prison where the president's plane has crashed. Closely resembling Assault on Precinct 13 in tone and plot dynamics, it's certainly Carpenter's slickest looking film, with the presence of Lee Van Cleef reinforcing its Sergio Leone associations. But, despite a marvellous night-time opening sequence, this slice of escapism often disappoints, though it still rates higher than the poor 1996 sequel Escape from LA.
Homerisms(107) = "The slim lazy Homer you knew is dead. Now I'm a big fat dynamo! And where's that cake?"

The Sky's the limit
Trying to get sky installed in my flat is harder than it sounds.
First of all I need to get a phone line installed, which I don't need (£10/m).
I phoned BT up and they said there would be a £75 charge. Geez, that's hardly fair. I'm going to see if it's cheaper with other companies later.
Wankers!

Very happy chappy
I moved in successfully on Thursday night and made sure I sorted everything out. Eventually I got to bed around 12:30.
I'm very pleased with the new place. Almost perfect in fact. Exactly what I need.
I'll be having a weekend of fun in a couple of weeks so Ben, Ian, Kris, Ross and Tim you are all invited to stay over. Sleeping bags recommended. At the moment i'm thinking 30th July, although it maybe the weekend either side. I hope you can all attend.

Bruges is back on
Phew! A few days ago, we thought our beer jolly in Bruges was going to get called off because our two bosses have recently quit. But we've been told that it's back on, but as long as we behave ourselves.
How old are we? We're certainly not school children.
The age range of the people that are going is 25-43. Mean average is about 32. What are we going to do? Get deported?
Anyway, we're on our way to Bruges next Thursday.

Greatest film ever awards
I watched the Goonies again last night.
It's a great film and has stood the test of time. It was during the storms that swept across London last night, quite spectacular really. To add to the whole feeling I lit a few candles.
Too my surprise, I found that I could almost recite the whole script. It just goes to show how many times i've watched it over the years.

Homer: You know, when I was a boy, I really wanted a catcher's mitt, but my dad wouldn't get it for me. So I held my breath until I passed out and banged my head on the coffee table. [cheerily] The doctor thought I might have brain damage.
Bart: Dad , what 's the point of this story?
Homer: I like stories."

Bloody estate agents
Still no nearer to getting things sorted with my flat!!!
I've e-mailed and called this girl yesterday and again today and she still hasn't got back to me. I'm here waiting to given them the money.
Quite pissed off really, they've been totally lame. It'll really fuck me about if I can't move in on Thursday. I'll end up like Alan Partridge in a Travel Tavern or even worse, have to stay at my Mum's for a while. I couldn't hack that.
Wankers!
It's amazing how apt, some of these Homerisms are...

New flat
I've found my new flat. I'm going to put an offer in at some point today so hopefully i'll be able to haggle the agent down a bit. Two agents actually showed me round the same place so I think I might be able to get quite a bit off. Fingers crossed.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-3828049.rsp?pa_n=2&tr_t=rent
It's just a studio flat, but plenty big enough for me. I think the main selling point is that it's nice and new and I don't have to worry about furnishings and stuff as that's all taken care of. Having a gym and a lap pool will be cool too.
I'll be moving on the 30th of June so let me know your availability for drinks during July. Probably have a few at he flat then off into Greenwich for a mojito.

Quest for the perfect coffee
There are 3 Starbucks right next to my building (including one inside) and another 50+ generic franchised coffee shops within half a mile I fancied something different.
Just had coffee with Nicola and we found a really nice Italian place near by.
It looks as though they do good sandwiches too.
I may have to investigate further.
The Quest continues...
Watch this space for other Quests in the ongoing journey of Stuart Clark's spirtual fullfilment.
To follow:
-Best Pub
-Best Lager
-Best Steak
-Best ...

1km swim
I went for a swim yesterday after work and am paying for it now. My arms are killing me.
I think it's god's way of telling people not to exercise.
I've planned to go again tonight but may try and get out of it. There's football on and nice cold beers waiting elsewhere.

House buying
The talk of Kris and my brother buying a house in the near future has got me thinking about it myself.
Getting together a deposit my be tricky.
But it's certainly an option. And worth thinking about. Although I may scale down any future house parties.

Brother's hand side effect
My brother though his luck was pretty bad after breaking a finger in his hand last week whilst playing rugby, but looked on the bright side as at least it wasn't his right hand.
However, bored at home a couple of days ago he fired up his ninja PC for a quick game of Half-life 2 or maybe Doom 3.
Argh! His left hand has been rendered useless in terms of movement, no circular straithing. If only he enjoyed CM/FM, then he simply wouldn't have that problem.

Oktoberfest
Dear all,
Does anyone fancy going to Oktoberfest this year? 17th September - 3rd October 2005
Probably thinking about going for a long weekend or something...
The Munich Oktoberfest - known by the locals as the "Wiesn" - is the biggest public festival in the world and will be held in 2005 for the 172nd time. Each year, the Oktoberfest is attended by around 6 million visitors, who drink more than 5 million liters of beer and consume over 200,000 pairs of pork sausages - mostly in the "beer tents" put up by the traditional Munich breweries.
At the foot of the Bavaria statue, the huge Oktoberfest grounds also provide carousels, roller coasters and all the spectacular fun of the fair for the enjoyment and excitement of visitors of all ages.
The festivities are accompanied by a program of events, including the Grand Entry of the Oktoberfest Landlords and Breweries, the Costume and Riflemen's Procession, and a concert involving all the brass bands represented at the "Wies'n".
Homerisms(71) = "Yes, honey ... Just squeeze your rage up into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time, like that day I hit the referee with the whiskey bottle."

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored and fucking bored

Anybody know any good jokes?

For some reason I woke up at about 5am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.
Bugger!
Now i'm hungry. Plus my mate just got himself a big fat doorstop of a sandwich from the best sandwich shop in the world.
I may have to venture out. At least it's a nice day.

Red Lion, Wellam
I went out for a meal on Saturday night to the Red Lion. We ended up having to wait for around 2 hours before getting seated.
We were hardly in a hurry so just waited by the bar so it was too be expected. It was quite embarrassing watching some of the other groups hovering around tables like vultures waiting for a table to vacate. Very rude if you ask me.
Finally we got seated and I looked at the menu. The 48oz was off the menu at the weekend so I had to think. 32oz of what? I could have done a steak but didn't really fancy it, in the end I went for the Mighty Man's mixed grill. 32oz of meet and bone.
When it arrived I tucked in. A quarter way through my Mum proclaimed that I could never finish it all.
It was like a rag to a bull...
...but not before upping the anti.
Once the £10 were laid on the table I ate fork full after fork full. Gradually slowing until I finished the lot. Then I was reminded about the bowl of chips.
Uuuggghhh!!! I felt shit, but a bet's a bet.
And as stubborn person is stubborn I forced the lot down my tiny mouth.
Much bragging passed across the table and me 1kg heavier I had won.
The moral of the story is never bet Stuart anything. He rarely loses...
...even if it kills him
I would also like to point out that it was easilly the most disgusting meal I had ever eaten. It was awful. I doubt i'll ever go there again. I need to find somewhere else where I can find the illusive 48oz steak.

Beer festival
Is the beer festival on again this year?
Is it around Ian's birthday again?
Can we all make it?
I suggested it to my brother and he seemed keen.
I'll see what Ross thinks again.
Ben: Better get some practice in...
I'll have to design a template for the official scorecard.
Perhaps a penalty for being sick.
When Ian gets hilariously shitfaced again a vote must be made for who keeps track of the rest of the scores.
Suggestions???

Holiday for a week
I'm off from work next week so you'll have to get by without my ramblings for 9 days.
What will you all do? Some work perhaps?
I'm off to Bristol for a couple of days but then back in London. Katie's coming down to see me at some point so I have to think of something intersting to do. Any ideas?
I don't think she'd appreciate just going to the pub and getting shitfaced every night, which is what I would do if any of you guys were down.

Current plan (subject to change)
I'm booze shopping tomorrow night
Wine
Beer
Mixers
Snacks
Put in your order now if you have any preference. otherwise it'll be sherry, Stella, cherryade and Hula Hoops.
I've been asked to ask you guys to bring bottles of spirits if possible. But I say just bring what you want.
I'm not playing rugby this weekend so i'll be around in London whenever you get here. I'll have to fart around the house and help the gitls set things up at some point but I think everything should be starting at around 8ish.
Fingers crossed the weather will hold.

Blithe Spirit
I went to see a play last night. Kate managed to get 4 free tickets (should have been £45).
Blithe Spirit at the Savoy Theatre, the Strand. It was a black comedy set in the 40's.
I had to put aside all my preconceptions but by doing so, had a really good time.
That doesn't mean to say that i'll ever go to a musical
And don't worry ladies, I'm not going to turn into a luvie.

Why does the media have to force this tripe on us again and again? By saturation of media they are forcing people to have false emotions for someone. It’s wrong. People should be able to make there own minds up about events in this world without getting force-fed how they ought to feel.
Yes, he's undoubtedly done a lot of good for the world but the media interaction is immoral and brings about mass hysteria. And they paint the picture that all he has done is good. That is simply not true.

I have a smile that is actually wider then my entire face
It is unconfirmed at the moment but I think I know what my pay rise will be next month. Don't know about my bonus yet. All confrimed tomorrow or early this week.
We have a flexible benefit system at work where you can pick and choose things like holidays, private health, pension etc, and I think it's been updated early.
Needless to say, if it is correct I will buy my entire readership one beer. Print out this page as a voucher. One voucher per person. Judge's (Me) verdict final. No cash substitutes.

Holiday
Seeing how successful last year's holiday was, does anyone fancy doing a similar thing this year?

I'd like to point out that none of those reasons were because of me.

What a sad, sad world we live in
Big Brother wins the vote
More young Brits have voted in reality TV shows than are likely to vote at the next general election, according to a survey.
The YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph found fewer than 42% of first-time voters think they will vote in the election.
Yet 46% said they had already voted for contestants in shows such as Big Brother and Pop Idol.
The 18- to 22-year-olds, who make up nearly a 10th of the electorate, seemed to have little interest in party politics.
More than half claim not to know what a "constituency" is and nearly half said they had no idea who would make the best prime minister.

Steven Seagal or Jesus
Hard to Kill
Mason Storm, a 'go it alone' cop, is gunned down at home. The intruders kill his wife, and think they've killed both Mason and his son too. Mason is secretly taken to a hospital where he spends several years in a coma. His son meanwhile is growing up thinking his father is dead. When Mason wakes up, everyone is in danger - himself, his son, his best friend, his nurse - but most of all those who arranged for his death.
Favourite Steven Seagal quote:
"I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol."
If you'd have watched the start of the film last night you'd know why I called him Jesus
Homerisms(29) = "Homer: Lisa, honey. Are you saying your never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?"
"Lisa: No!"
"Homer: Ham?"
"Lisa: No!"
"Homer: Porkchops?"
"Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!"
"Homer: heh, heh yeah right Lisa, a wonderful magical animal heh heh"

I was due to be having my annual appraisal at this time today however I've had to postpone until tomorrow morning because of a new project i've been working on. As luck would have it we've just had a fire alarm which would have been right smack in the middle of it.
On top of that and certainly more importantly I've just been talking to my big boss outside in the plaza and he said that I will be doing appraisals next year myself!!!
Definite promotion, with staff!!!
Anybody want a job?

My appraisal is tomorrow, but won't find out about bonus and pay until the 14th of March.

Pain in the neck
I've been off sick from work for two days this week.
Nothing to worry about but I had to go to A&E on Monday (the girls in my flat made me), as I slept awkwardly on my neck on the Saturday night and was in a lot of pain. Much better now but that's probably due to the 3 types of drugs I've been taking. I'm just back at work today.
