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.
Homerisms(100)
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...

This week, I will mostly be smiling.
Just heard the results of my restated 3 month pay review. 4k pay rise back dated to April, which equates to a £9k pay rise. 34.6%
My face has much smugness...
And yes, even more than usual.

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.

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.
Homerisms(97) = "Liquor drunkens me."

Ben was right...
... As shocking as it sounds. Ben was in fact correct in his pre analysis of GTA: San Andreas.
I'm not really into the whole gansta culture so at the moment I haven't really got into the game yet.
I think once i've got a few random granny kills under my belt I will feel fine. And then begin to enjoy the game.

I've got a 2 and a half minute presentation in 30 mins
Yes that's 2 and a half whole minutes!
We've got a massive project on the go and they're going to be using a few of my spreadsheets to help them.
It's in front of 60 people so am bricking it. Should be okay though.
My slot's near the end, so hopefully people will be asleep by that point.

I'm finally back at work
Hello everyone
It's been ages since my last post. Hope everyone's well.
I've been off ill all last week so sorry for the lack of pointless posts.
I bet you've all missed me.
Homerisms(87) = "The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy to be a man. Let's see. Don't tattle. Always make fun of those different from you. Never say anything, unless you're sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do."
