Podcast

**A long overdue podcast comin atcha!**

Hospital

Went with mum to the hospital today, went to have the skin removed from her head. When I walked in the place I could smell death. Hate hospitals at the best of times. We got there early and still waited an extra hour!! They removed the skin and sent it away for tests. At least she didnt have her head shaved, which she thought that she have had to.

Took her to get a new fish for her tank, thought my filter would have come today, mine are desperate for a clean!!

Three, India and mother!

Mum "When you call Three do you get billed for calling India?"

Three!

Hands up who is on the Three network?? Well I had to call them the other day, they have taken the steps to outsource their call centres to India. I called up to an automated lady, press 1 for etc etc. I got through to someone quickly, here is where the problem started. I think they work on a screen click system, i.e when you call up they have a screen in front of them with a possible list of questions that you could ask. Guess what happens when you ask something thats not on the screen! I said I am calling is response to an answerphone message, I got a "pardon" . I thought here we go, then she stuck me on hold "to read the notes" I asked something else and got pardon after pardon. Its not ideal customer service I think, they try their best but its so frustrating.

Vet

Fetched Judy back, she is OK now, tho she was very stressed when we were coming home. A guy there looked like he had been told that his dog had to be put down, very sad.


mmmmmmmmm I wish ;p

Planet Earth!

Planet Earth

Love this programme on Sundays at 9pm on BBC1. Another amazing look into animals, I love programmes like that, so interesting to see how they hunt, feed etc.

First Cold!

Of 2006! Not got it that bad either, so thats a good thing. I think now its classed as man flu innit! I dont get that! ;)

Its bloody cold outside innit! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. That wind is icy cold. Think it may snow again, oh how I cannot wait for some sun! Mind you will prob be moaning that its far too hot if it was sunny!

I often wonder how some people actually get onto the roads. They drive like total dickheads most of the time. I still see people on mobiles while driving, dont they know its unsafe?? There should be a stiffer penalty than a FPN, should have the licence took away from them. Serve em bloody right, all phones can have hands free now so no excuse for having it glued to your ear while driving (esp at 60mph plus!). Another thing that will always piss me off is braking distance. Do people not realise that you are supposed to have a space between your car and the car in front. I sometimes look in the rear view mirror and I can see the person behind me actually in my car. If I have to break the twat would be in the back of me. Too many loonys on the road today!

Mum got a new phone and I have been teaching her how to use it. Its been the usual in one ear and out the other! She pays no attention to what I show her. I will forgive her at the mo tho as she has enough on her mind as it is.

Judy

She had a minor heart attack again right in front of me this morning, she fell on her legs and let out this 'death howl', Shes ok now, goes back to the vets tomorrow. Put years on me...............

Back :(

It is with great sadness that I must report that my mother has contracted cancer once again. It makes me so sad, I could see that it has upset her. Its destoyed me again, it was hard enough the first time but now that its come back its worse. I could see it in her eyes that its really got to her. I have told her to be strong and I will make sure that I am by her side in the hospital. I can remember the last time with so much clarity, the day she was told, the day we went to the hospital. I will never forget the day I left her for her operation, I nearly crashed driving back home. No one knows what its like until it happens to someone that you love. I will never discuss this with anyone in person, because I dont want people to say 'sorry' to me. I dont want pity, I didnt before and I dont now. My mother thinks the same as me, only a few close people will be told. I have published this fact on my blog just as a vent I suppose, not for sympathy. That is one thing I dont want from anyone. I have to be strong for my mum, it tears me apart and I would be destroyed if anything happened. I know that she is a strong person, but to get it again does not help. She told me earlier "I am scared" my heart broke in two. We will fight this, I wont let it take her without a fight.

This year has been a terrible year, totally awful. My mum will always be the only one I can share things with, the only 'best friend' that I can trust and love with all my heart. No one will ever match that.

Im a tearful Adam, but only in my own private world. I will not show the fact that this has upset me totally for no one. I need to be there for her, if I lost her then I have lost everything. I love to laugh and make people happy, but its getting harder and harder to do lately.

It wont win......................... I wont let it.................

Fantabulosa! Kenneth Williams

Well I watched it and..............

Very close to the diaries, nothing new in it really. Where was the Australian lover?? I would love to read the parts of the diary that were not allowed to be published. I always find the Joe Orton saga so sad, its good they included that as they were good mates even if Joe would shag anything in sight. I have Joes diary too, that is just filled with his next shag. Not near as interesting as Kennys, tho it does have scary bits in of his nutter partner Kenneth (Joe).

It was sad really to watch, I think that Kenny was in that much pain due to the ulcer he took more pills than usual to hope that it would take the pain away. The only thing it took away was his life. The part of Kenny was played really well, a great drama. There was nothing new in it tho, which was a shame. It totally followed the diary, which if you have read (like me loads of times!) means you know everything before it happens. Great casting with Kenny, I enjoyed it.

Snow in March!


A bit of snow, climate is all over the place innit!

Saturday, March 11, 2006

Bloody do it!

Now I dunno why but I am the sort of person to plan something and then put it off totally! Its high time I did some sort of voluntary work for the community. I am tied between a couple of ideas at the mo. Ideally I did want to work for the samaritons, now this has always interested me and I do feel that I could do the position really well. This was thought of last year but never done! lol Typical Adam!! I am interested in the Police, but not too keen on the neighbourhood scheme that they are thinking of bringing about. I have looked into Childline also. I dunno, at the same time I dont want to obviously take on too much and struggle to give all I can. I am currently in thinking mode at the mo, when I start to think it normally takes an age! I like to check things through, ask loads and make sure that the choice I make is the best one for me and the people that I would work with.

Shut that door!


Larrys Generation Game 'finally' being repeated on Challange TV. We can finally see the bad fashions and the awful prizes!

SHUT THAT DOOR!

KENNETH WILLIAMS - FANTABULOSA!


A drama on Monday 13th March about Kenny is on BBC4. I must say that it looks interesting, taken from his famous diary rantings! I cant wait to watch this, watched some of the clips and looks good so far. If you have not taken the time to read Kennys diarys or letters then make sure that you make time! They are well worth the read.

I am not sure about the guy who is playing Kenny (
Michael Sheen) It does look good tho, so would rather watch it and then rip it to pieces. I hope that it follows his life a bit better than some of the ones that have been done about the Carry On stars. What always pisses me off is the fact that they always slag em off, but looking at the clips (Kenny hoovering in pants! - from his diary he often wished someone would burst in and I presume shag him whilst doing this) The diary was heavily edited, missing out his relationship with one guy for starters.

All I can say is

STOP MESSIN ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(

This morning Judy had a heart attack, she came round thank god. Rushed her to the vets, she has a heart murmer, on medication for it. Scared us to think she might have gone. I grew up with her and yeah she has her moments but she would be missed so much.

Love it

Walkies

Took Judy for a short walk, bless her she was knackered tho. Shes not the young chicken that she was! Bless her, I could not see a day without seeing Judy. She is a massive part of the family, we will all be heart broken if anything happens to her.

When you see programmes like Panoroma that go on about how we will all have our houses taken off us when older disgusts me. What the fuck do we work our balls off for? Losing everything cause we piss ourselves, nah I never want to be a OAP. This Adam will never see that age range thankyou very much.

Poorly Judy


Judy had a bit of a fit the other morning, fell on her legs.

Shes 13, so now in the elderly dog range. She can still outrun most dogs younger. Our thoughts are with her as without her it would not be right.

Pile!

Yes I have got one!

Must smile tho! ;p

Hello!!!

Yes I am back! lol Not been updating as much on here as I should I suppose. Well what has been happening in the world of mine, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Been a bit busy with work, had a cock up with my car insurance. I will say this, dont ever go with More-Than (the cute advert with the dog called Lucky) They have totally dragged their feet with my no claims as I moved from them to someone else (they are shite). Got it all sorted now, but could have meant my new insurance was cancelled!!

Mother went to see the medium again, she didnt really tell us anything dramatic. I gave my mum a recorder to take so that she can listen to it again and again, as she does forget things even if she says that she doesnt!

Why is running a car soooooooo expensive. I would catch public transport (aside from the fact that I heard that gays dont) if it was not a shambles! I mean who wants to stand waiting at a bus stop for a bus which is late and then 2 come at the same time!!

Someone said to me that she thought I was 19 years old! I thought "awwww bless" I might use oil of olay but I am afraid that even that doesnt knock off 8 years! (I wish)

Got the new England kit, fuckin mint! ;pppppppppppppp Thank god we won the friendly today! Gawd I had given up all hope, when Cole scored (within the match) Why is it that England get desperate for winning they try and get a penalty! All the time they do this! Beckham looked old, but when I saw him smile I thought "fuck the old!" ;p

Had to do a maths type test for something and fuckin balled it up. I detest maths, it is the most boring subject ever. You should not be judged on bloody knowing 5% of £5!!! Tsk!

The sun was out today, dont you feel better when its sunny! :) Lovely to hear the birds chiming!

Bought a coffee machine and it blew up when I switched it on! lol Just my luck!! ;)
