Potted itinery...itinerery....list of stuff I did

So much to put down that I'm just going to list it in one big brain bleed. Here goes... mind the doors.

Work night out, eating pub food talking about drugs, shocked by Tony's 'I remember the 60's' admissions of law breaking frolicks, bowling with a skip in our step, me bowling very badly, losing spectacularly, blister on thumb, tried pool instead, won one game, flirted with boss, played arcade game, rifle shooting, kicked everyone's arse at that, 'helped' boss with her aim, lame excuse to brush up against her, lift home with her in the car, laughing at an S&M couple on radio talk show, no goodnight snog, sadly.

York with mum, huge queues for train tix, hot & stuffy train, cater waiter who couldn't speak English, eventually got our TWO bottles of water & ice, pleasant walk to the Minster, no cafe, walked round the back to St Williams College restaurant, gooooorgeous steak sandwich & home made chips, more Minster, lots of pics, distracted by new digi camera, student band rehearsing, goooooorgeous soloist, voice of an angel (not liver of a wino we hope), hard to drag ourselves away, two places of interest both closed, trawl round shops looking for a Next, mum shows off with Turkish chap on street, buy gorgeous ring, find lovely little church, take more pics, buy tacky gifts of Viking snow globes for work mates, mum wants a sundae, walk round and round looking for somewhere, eventually go back to St Williams for scones, walk back to train station via museum gardens, full of chavs throwing litter, scrotes, back home on bloody hot train.

Weekend, shopping, buying shirts for work, lots of shirts, fuck all else exciting.

Work, ok for first couple of days, gets stressful later, bloody thick bitch in Chorley, can't tell the diff between their vans & ours, ignoring emails, couple of lazy sods in office, new girl needs watching, thank god I'm off for two days.

Tea out at Pizza Express on Friday, got order wrong, bring what looks like a bowl of pot pourri as compensation, have best dessert in the world ever, ice cream, choc fudge cake pieces, choc sauce, wafers & extra shot of Tia Maria, mouthgasm.

BBQ at mates in Liverpool, train to Whiston, bloody fantastic taxi firm takes me to hotel, yep a hotel, no room for sleepover, cheap taxi fare, Leffe beer, catching up with chums, hostess tolerable, seems strange having kids there, game of try to get the daughter to eat fruit, turns into game of tip fruit all over self & use cup as a hat, Morrisons beef chilli & coriander burgers yummy, more beer & a bottle of white wine, kids playing with water pistols, and the rain comes down - who needs water pistols? Discussing last episode of ER & other randomness with hostess's ex work mate, rain stops, sit on loungers, bring out the fire pit, try to adjust lounger - end up flat on back, can't get up for laughing, had too much wine so move on to lemonade & then make myself a cup of tea, back to hotel & crash, hungover in morning but manage breakfast, feel rough, back home to Bolton to die quietly.

Lakes with mum & bro, absolutely fucking pissing down, nice lunch at Lakeland Plastics, pootle round Booths, still fucking bucketing, get open top bus to Bowness, might as well have sat on the top deck as all the rain comes in, clears up in time for cruise round lake, standing at prow of boat enjoying the view alone (mum getting extremely annoying), potter round shops, back to Windermere, back to Lakeland Plastics for cuppa, home, never going anywhere with annoying mother bitch again.

Lunch in Manch with Ingrid today, surly staff in White Lion at Castlefield, pop for a quickie in the Ox - very trendy, very long, very leisurely lunch at Dimitris , huge amounts of tapas, never had dolmades before, yum, whitebait, yum, bottle of wine, bit squiffy, keftedes, yum, auberginey thing, yum, shouldn't have bothered with pitta bread - too much, just about manage some ice cream for dessert, yum, very saucy conversation, tell her about the game of soggy biscuit & what a dirty sanchez is, decide to play 'Ive Never...' game but without the drink, very very naughty conversation, degenerates into listing everything sexual we've either never done or have done, her bus arrives, resolve to play again but somewhere less public & with more alcohol.

And in addition;

Muse, liking very much, Absolution v good, black holes & revelations ok, watching repeats of Buck Rogers, very cheesy but still engaging, Annette Badland in Bad Girls, missed last Thursday but recorded Monday's repeat, keep missing bits of Sugar Rush but enjoying what I've seen, bought Century Falls & Dark Season on DVD, free 80s covers CD on Q magazine, outstanding cover of 'Different for Girls' by Boy Kill Boy, bought Life on Mars DVD set, I'm 'avin 'oops, keep forgetting Uni Challenge is on.

End of heamorrage.
