Last night was the works party which was a laugh however little Sean who works for me has broken his ankle. As many of you know its my dads business (Covplumbing.co.uk) free plug there <img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/06razz.gif" alt=""> so being the wonderful son i am i have come into work. Last night i got to bed at 2.30 which isnt bad when your having a lie in but when you woken up at 6.20 to be told you gotta cover at work its a bit of a bummer. We had a comedian on last night at the meal, hes was s<img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/icon_censored.gif" alt="">te, the jokes he came out with are worse then the jokes you get in Christmas crackers.</p> <p>I got sent a email from my mate Tom yesterday, im kinda unsure if to put the pic on here, some will find funny and its not intended to be nasty but i think 95% will grin or laugh with the other 5% politically correct people not liking it, but hey ho the pic is.<a title="Shannon Plate" href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/shannon_plate/3063474"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/474/3063474_67974687ed_s.jpg" alt="Shannon Plate" hspace="5" vspace="5"></a></p> <p>I havent started any Christmas shopping and cant be really arsed as in 14 days I will be off to Key West, yipheee, sun, sea, sand and sleep. I will post pics once i get back, rumour has it the hotel has free wi fi so might take my lappy with me so I can update as I go along.</p> <p>I have started to read a new book, its by Gloria Hunningford <img src="http://217.169.40.204/websites/images/store/books-web/9780340953969-1-4.jpg" alt="book im reading" width="131" height="200">. My mate Tom has read it aswell and prewarned me to read it alone unless you want people to see you as a blubbering wreck. Its the follow on book from Caron's book (for the thicko's Caron was/is Gloria's daughter). Caron started to write her book about 11 years ago about how she was fighting cancer etc but the media etc wasnt aware of it (well most of it) this first book is again a great but sad read and the last chapter was completed by her friend as Caron died before completing the book, however back to this book. Always with you is Glorias side of the death etc and life afterwards and from chapter 2 onwards does get emotional, if you have someone you cant think what to buy and they are bit of a book worm get it and prob the first one aswell.</p> <p>Tonight, i might go out unsure at the mo, guess how it depends how i feel later on. Oh yeah message for Duckies (he knows who he is) still remember revenge is still best served cold.</p> <p>Thats about it really, I keep thinking of things to write on here but when it comes to it I forget it all.</p> <p>Me<br>xx</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/12/13/its-not-fair-but-life-5213663/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>gloriaduckieshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/12/13/its-not-fair-but-life-5213663/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/10/12/more-chat-and-stuffs-4860346/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-10-12:/2008/10/12/more-chat-and-stuffs-4860346/Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:09:58 +0200 <p>Ello all,</p> <p>Well its now Sunday evening and sod all on tv as normal unless you wanna watched the repeats of the repeats of Top Gear on Dave.</p> <p>Yesterday i didnt rush out of bed as i wasnt in work (I know shock horror) and chilled most of before going to Unkle Wayne and daddy Chris's house <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"> I was a nice person and took a bottle of fizzy stuff, normal wine and also loads of sweeties. </p> <p>Last night we went to the Ricoh (Cov City Ground) to see a Kylie tribute band - lets be blunt here, it was shite, such a let down <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> all she did was mime, thats not a tribute band in my eyes. To make things worse last i wasnt in the mood to drink at all, drink alcohol or soft drinks but the place was to warm aswell, the only thing that i wanted to do was sleep.</p> <p>I got in popped online (facebook) and ended up calling Jamie to help him solve his current love problems, the answer is simple but hey ho, love and all that crap.</p> <p>Today got up at 11, then went to work with the mad Paul Golby, yeah he makes me laugh so much and talks so much crap like i do.</p> <p>So now i got Doc Dolittle on, not seen it b4, looks okish but 8pm channel 4 is that Peter Kay thing which looks so so so good.</p> <p>me</p> <p>xx</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/10/12/more-chat-and-stuffs-4860346/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>paulricohjamiehttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/10/12/more-chat-and-stuffs-4860346/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/07/28/long-time-coming-i-know-now-stop-nagging-4511950/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-07-28:/2008/07/28/long-time-coming-i-know-now-stop-nagging-4511950/Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:42:48 +0200 <p>well hello all,</p> <p>well its been a busy time for me, I havent had chance to stop really.</p> <p>Brief update:</p> <p>Last friday was the 'Virtual Horse Racing' night for the <a href="http://www.wnaa.co.uk">www.wnaa.co.uk</a> - Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. I havent totalled it all up yet but expect we raised about £500 for the night which aint a bad amount i feel. </p> <p>Saturday went to see Kylie In London - who knows what that women is like, i got fed up her begging me to go and see her, it was texts on the hour every hour if not more. Well I couldnt take anymore begging so agreed to go and watch her sing and she wasnt to bad, carrys on the way shes going she might have a number 1 soon. The hotel was nice we (we being Tom Slag, Mike - Duck and me) duckies booked the hotel through his many connections and got us a executive room at the Victoria Plaza Posh Hotel, it has fancy lights in the lift. The advantages of a executive room: 2 showers (one over a bath and one normal) in the bathroom not just ur normal soaps u got a toothbrush set, sewing kit and stuffs and oh yeah free wine in the executive lounge, mmmmmmmmmmmmm bring it on.</p> <p>Well sat night we made our way to the bigtop of london (02 arena as its now known), well the seats Kylie gave me were as far away as poss (the reason for this is simple - she was nervous performing infront of me <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">) the people in Luton were closer than us i think. Well yeah Kylie was good, however there was no 'Locomotion and Especially for you' just some WOW WOW WOW'ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. </p> <p>Some may have known in the past I went and saw Dolly Parton at Hammersmith Apollo, now how do I compare them to each other, well Kylie was good and was on for a long time and was spot on in singing, Dolly, her concert was more of a story about her life and what was the meaning behind the songs so you kinda felt a little more involved.</p> <p>Im a little p<img src="/img/smilies/icon_censored.gif" alt=">:XX" class="middle" border="0">d off cause of my dad,(hope he dont read this) but hes getting more and more twisted and nasty as each day goes on, hes 2 different people now - upsetting in away as I kinda except that my 'normal' dad has gone now and been replaced by a kinda nasty beast. What has started to increase more its the personal attacks on staff and people, (i can see him getting more and more like his mum) hes getting like scrouge now, we have got staff working in the dark to save electricity - he says to save the enviroment, we think he just likes to cause problems and the pettier they are the better for him.</p> <p>I gotta get a new job, i gotta escape from this, its making me ill, (god i sound like paul) :<img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"> sorry about that Paul but just could resist. I would love to work here and make a propa go of it all but with things being so so petty it will never work - it just cant.</p> <p>Doesnt this sound depressing.</p> <p>Anyway did anyone see all that thunder and lightning last night, well all I could see was lightning in the distant but it was amazing.</p> <p>anyway back to work i guess for me</p> <p>btw normal rules apply, i havent prove read it so i guess theres alot of spelling etc.</p> <p>ttfn<br> xx </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/07/28/long-time-coming-i-know-now-stop-nagging-4511950/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>kyliedollywingehttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/07/28/long-time-coming-i-know-now-stop-nagging-4511950/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/29/the-fun-run-has-been-done-4381541/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-06-29:/2008/06/29/the-fun-run-has-been-done-4381541/Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:42:10 +0200 <p>Hello all</p> <p>the fun run has been completed <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We did the the 4 1/2 mile run in just over a hour which was half the time we expected which im well pleased with.</p> <p>A massive thank you to Paul Golby (not the chief Exec at Eon) Paul Golby the alarm man who helped build the bath on wheels (i will upload the pics soon). The bath handled really really well, couldnt fault it at all.</p> <p>We generally did a combination of jogging and walking around the course. When we started to go down hill etc of course we sped up this is where the flashing blue LED's and sirens came into action, it was like moses parting the sea (i think it was moses wasnt it). Oh yeah more thanks to my dad (im in his bad books so thought its best to say this) thanks for the 'donor' vehicle the go kart and yeah we also borrowed the number plate of his Galaxy - he dont know that bit yet though so im gonna get them put back on tomorrow in the day.</p> <p>I have started the garden decking in the garden, the holes are dug and also the lights for it are ordered.</p> <p>I hope to have the decking in by next weekend but its gonna be a real struggle i think <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>me </p> <p>x</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/29/the-fun-run-has-been-done-4381541/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/29/the-fun-run-has-been-done-4381541/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/18/hi-all-4333750/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-06-18:/2008/06/18/hi-all-4333750/Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:25:23 +0200 <p>Just a brief update:</p> <p>Money raising for the fun run is about £1800 now so going in the right direction.</p> <p>I gotta sell my Renault Scenic car, its a great car and will be great for a family etc.</p> <p>Yesterday i went to Ascot. I drove down there in dads minibus, it was hell, i hated it. Has anyone ever driven a LDV minibus its like driving a vehicle on ice all the time.</p> <p>Well i didnt win much well, ermmmm £3.80 and that was it <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> but it was a real nice day and relaxed once we got past the snotty arsey cows there. It took us about hour and 45 mins to get there. </p> <p>The fun run bath steering has been upgraded and even a steering wheel has been added so its all systems go, just gotta put the sign writing and flashing lights on it.</p> <p>thats it really, sorry for the crap update but im knackered,lol</p> <p>xx </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/18/hi-all-4333750/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/18/hi-all-4333750/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/08/just-a-weeeeeeeeee-update-4290304/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-06-08:/2008/06/08/just-a-weeeeeeeeee-update-4290304/Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:04:08 +0200 <p>Updates updates updates.</p> <p>Ok, Coventry Fun Run: feel the money raising isnt going to well at all and that other people are not trying that much which is annoying me, yeah we are collecting money on the day in buckets but thats not gonna get us to hit the target we want. So im gonna plug it again <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/theplum-bers">www.justgiving.com/theplum-bers</a> This Thursday the Telegraph are comming to take pics of us and the bath for the paper with a weeeeeeee interview, there u go my claim to fame.</p> <p>The weekend has been very very chilled really apart from working yesterday (Saturday) am. Last night was chilled and a early night however my dream was weird and in my dream i was in Greece and there was a army area i wasnt allowed in. To make things weirdier (if thats a word) in my sleep i had arranged the pillows down the middle of the bed - i reckon the pillows was the boarder for the area for me not to go into. During the sleep we went into the 'no go' area and the bloody army men gave us a slight electric shock through the water, how rude.</p> <p>Ok, heres more fun run stuff, gotta make the go kart/bath thing i gotta make it yet, and ermmm struggling on the ermmmm getting the wheels side of things sorted but the alarm man, Mr Paul Golby, AMFYOYO, BACS, HONS, alarm man said he will help me morrow with that 4 sure.</p> <p>I reckon Paul (the lodger) needs to take a sponsorship into work for me and get me loads of money and also his work should offer some water for us to take in the bath, we can put their logo on it 4 them 4 sure :0) <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Im sat in the garden writing the blog with ones of those chimney thingys by me to keep me warm. The animals are starting to chill abit now, Dexter Flumpy Biscuit Head and Ty Floyd have been chasing each other around the garden all night, Dexter has been been doing pumping - some may know what this means, you who dont just ask and i might tell yah but it will cost ya.</p> <p>This week its a role change again, im going from IT/CCTV/Networking/Electrical to be a warehouse 'manager' at Swan Lane. Problem is that this role is ermmmm not a challenge and so so boring and easy, in life i need challenges - shite im starting to sound like some one i know i wont say who all i will say is 'oh life is great babe' and im sure at least 2 of you will know who i mean.</p> <p>So thats it kinda folks, me is signing out again for a bit. oh no crap i forgot, on Thursday i went with Tom Slag to Newcastle upon Tyne, we went in his new work Nissain 4 x 4 thingy, which was nice to drive and did like it. Tom will have noticed im generally a crap passenger, im getting better but after my motorway crash a few yrs ago im still abit afraid for sure.</p> <p>thats it folks</p> <p>xx</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/08/just-a-weeeeeeeeee-update-4290304/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/06/08/just-a-weeeeeeeeee-update-4290304/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/05/26/bank-holidays-at-work-4222671/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-05-26:/2008/05/26/bank-holidays-at-work-4222671/Mon, 26 May 2008 08:49:59 +0200 <p>hello worldy peoples,</p> <p>well ermmmm im at work and its not fair , web dog is here aswell - im teaching him how to use the internet - hes not use to all this technology.

So far - well last weekend Tom 'the slag' helped me lay some slabs in the back garden ready for my new shed which is due this tuesday, once i got the shed up i can sort the garage out, yipheeeeeeeeeeeee. Sunday (last one) Stu and me did some more work which involved lots of gravel, lots of getting up grass and putting up some trelis or however u spell it, this was going to be the area for the compost bin however now seems to be the poo station for all the animals. The final bit of the garden to be done was the tree and palm plants being planted which look nice with the lights around them at night.</p> <p>Last night I had a bbq, Stu, Tom, Chris, Wayne, Paul and all of next door came, it was a nice night, we started at 6ish and they left at about 11.30 so was a plesent time had by all i think. We sat in the 'new' garden.</p> <p>Arhhhh more new stuff, I have finally finished the work website <a href="http://www.covplumbing.co.uk">www.covplumbing.co.uk</a> and yes notice the link the to fun run in Cov hint hint and if thats not subtle enough try <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/theplum-bers">www.justgiving.com/theplum-bers</a> we are doing the fun run in fancy dress, well 12 of us are so all donations will be greatfully recieved. </p> <p>me<br> x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/05/11/back-again-4159654/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>fun-runhttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/05/11/back-again-4159654/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/04/26/im-back-from-holiday-4096608/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-04-26:/2008/04/26/im-back-from-holiday-4096608/Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:52:49 +0200 <p>Hi all well im home.</p> <p>As some off you know i have been on holiday to Lanzorte which was a real nice break. The week generally consisted of rest, bit of drink, swimming pool, food and sleep. I will upload the pics shortly (got to resize them).</p> <p>We went from Birmingham Airport but got a taxi from Chris and Waynes in Bedworth on the Gupti express, this involved going down the M6 in a normal taxi cab with the boot open and the suitcases hanging out the back, somehow they all arrived with us at the airport.</p> <p>While on the flight somehow Chris dropped a tomatoe drinking all over him and the seat, hehehehehe, that was fun for him eventually sitting on plastic bags to keep him dry. In arrivals all went well apart from having to wait for Toms suitcase to take ages come through but it eventually did. We did have a hire car aswell - the car I do hate is the Citroen Picasso thingy - many reasons for this but maybe go into this at another time.</p> <p>The holiday generally as i said was mainly relaxing apart for a trip around the 'national park' for the volcanoes, im remember this from last time I went and yeah its a bit scarey still sitting on the edge of a massive hill in a coach thats going quick on the tour guide. Wayne was driving at learnt like I remember, its survival of the fittest and having the balls to stand your ground on the round and not dive out the way, basically coaches would run you off the road.</p> <p>Each night we would generally walk down to the beach front to have tea which was always very very nice food and then walk back to the Villa to chat and laugh. We stayed at this villa <a href="http://www.jamesvillas.co.uk/villa.cfm?villa_id=2337&CTA=villa_image"> which was really nice (click here).</p> <p>thats all for now as im doing this while at work and starting to get busy.</p> <p>will update and stuff at a later time and oh yeah any typing errors etc are to be accepted as I havent prove read this <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>xx</p> <p></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/04/26/im-back-from-holiday-4096608/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lanzorteholidayhttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/04/26/im-back-from-holiday-4096608/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/04/13/long-time-no-types-4038624/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-04-13:/2008/04/13/long-time-no-types-4038624/Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:03:34 +0200 <p>yeah yeah yeah again i know <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Well what new news is there............. let me think oh yeah new cat, me a year older, another new lodger, i got my 'mybook' working and ermmmmm poorly back again <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> and also yipheee 4 days till holiday <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Ok here goes, seat belts on and prepare for blast off for the updateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>The new cat tommy ( i think i mentioned him in my last blog, thinking about it im sure i did) well tommy has been a bit of a b<img src="/img/smilies/icon_censored.gif" alt=">:XX" class="middle" border="0">rd at the mo and seems a bit to keen on using his claws on me - especially one nice deep cut across the middle of my hand <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> Tommy is the cuase of my bad back as i went to pick him up from the floor when he sneaked into the kitchen, i bent over and that was it, click and i was on the floor for 20 mins till i could start to move, the back is easing but still painfull.</p> <p>It was my birthday on Thursday so thank you to all who got my a card, sent a text or even a pressie all much appreciated.

When we got in we prepared the food for when Tom, Chris and Wayne came over for pre bowling foods and drinks. </p> <p>When we got to bowling we had 3 games, 1st on was serious for most (not me) 2nd was more serious and 3rd was just messing around. The 3rd game was you had to use your other arm i.e left arm if you are right handed, the scores did go down hill quite a bit. </p> <p>Once we got home Chris and Tom has a weeee food fight which was fun to watch before I feel asleep on the setee.</p> <p>Today been a resting day until we walked the dogs again. We took the animals on a walk along a bath called the 12 o'clock walk which is by Coombe Abbey in Coventry. It was a plesent walk and as usual the dogs love it, so much so that Ty is snuggled upto me on the setee and Dexter is on the other one.</p> <p>Im thinking about getting another cat aswell by the way, not sure if to or not yet <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/03/23/fun-weekend-3926831/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/03/23/fun-weekend-3926831/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/03/18/me-being-different-continues-3902468/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-03-18:/2008/03/18/me-being-different-continues-3902468/Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:05:30 +0100 <p>Ok, me is still trying to keep away from Tesco's, so far so good.</p> <p>I went to the 'local' farm shop on Saturday and brought stuff, maybe not as cheap but I thought it tasted loads better, maybe just me, me unsure.</p> <p>Tonight I didnt wanna do it but popped Asda not for alot, but as you may have read before I was fed up with Tesco's.

Saturday a.m has my hair cut as its was getting more and more like a wild mop, I thought pop in and be out within 45 mins but nope, 90 mins later it was all done <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">. Saturday consisted of popping into town with Stu to get some new clothes for the night out. </p> <p>Tom (slag) was picking us up at 6 so it was all abit of a rush and we both were tired so it was Red Bull to the rescue. We went to Jongleurs in Brum (on broad street). The acts were not very good at all and to be honest disappointing. After the show had finished we made our way back to Cov - and of course we had to tell jokes on the way back as we have been to a comedy night.</p> <p>Well sat night/sunday morning was in bed at 12.30 and woke up at 10 ish so had a good sleep. Normal routine came into plan, 11.00 and had to watch countryfile - i love that program.</p> <p>Stu and I then walked the dogs, we went to the old trainline near balsall common, we walked alot further than we thought we had but however little ty was still full of energy.</p> <p>Once home we just rested then at 5 stu went home.

As many of you know I work for my dad and do a bloody lot for the business, however things are changing!!!</p> <p>Firstly some jobs have been taken away from me to ease my work load which i dont mind at all, however it dont seem to happen. Basically I had some of the work taken away from then then 24 hours before the dead line is was dumped back on me, I wasnt pleased but got it done. </p> <p>I would have thought i would have got a bit of a break but instead the nagging and lack of respect continued, this finally came to a head on Saturday am at work and I walked out for the day.</p> <p>I get paid less than many, work more hours for many, also my skills involve Software, Networking, Hardware, CCTV, Telephones, Alarm, Electrics just to name a few, im afraid all these skills are now on hold and im doing the basics lets see how it goes.</p> <p>On the good side of things, all good with Stu and his car looks clean once we cleaned and polished it.</p> <p>Well thats about it really, Tom slag didnt request my services at the quiz tonight, not sure why, I think i made him feel a bit stupid,lol</p> <p>ttfn peoples<br> xx</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/03/03/why-when-you-help-people-out-do-they-s-t-3812488/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/03/03/why-when-you-help-people-out-do-they-s-t-3812488/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/02/24/cats_on_heat~3775356/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-02-24:/2008/02/24/cats_on_heat~3775356/Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:18:09 +0100 <p>Well its been a good weekend, I had a whole saturday off first in months.</p> <p>Well this weekend I brought a new television (42" one) its great.</p> <p>Any kimber the cat, I reckon is as they put it 'in season' or as i put it she needs sorting.

Stuart went out last night at got in at 3.00 am, yes i know how late, bad bad behaviour then had to be in work today im sure hes been struggling all day. Oh yeah I was also dog sitting for Laura and Rach last night - I has Milly aka Asbo and Honey over, kimber was ok with them after a while.</p> <p>So today.....Sunday got up at 9ish and then after a struggle dropped paul the lodger into work, then onto my Sisters to get Cyril the Scenic. This is were it gets a bit sad, I got home, cleaned the fish tank then watch Countryfile - I love it then it was mission clean cyril and make him look sexy.

Well I was all snuggled in bed asleep when phone call at 2am, alarm call for Canley branch, went Canley, reset the alarm as it was junk flying around in the yard which I couldnt get to. Ring Ring 4am, Alarm call Canley, again more s<img src="/img/smilies/icon_censored.gif" alt=">:XX" class="middle" border="0">te flying around the yard, reset the alarm and thought home time again, got in and it wasnt worth going back to sleep however Ring ring 6.20 am alarm call and guess what........................... nope your wrong alarm call canley BUT, yes BUT someone from the Cafe bit on the building had gone into a zoned area, me not please. </p> <p>So that how the day started, but then my cold bug - NO NOT MAN FLU so felt bit worse. Was intending to leave work at 12 but finally left at 2.30 <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I did send a Memo to staff at Canley regarding a few 'issues' of course it was nice and yes not nasty but normal insecure and childish behaviour continued and they all complained, Steve Murf the manager agreed with the memo and basically said take note of it, its not a dig but take it how you feel. </p> <p>Ok, heres a question, Ben aka shiny ben has got a perdicament to deal with. Hes fed up with his Ford Fartesta (Fiesta), now does he get a new car or should he clean it and some TLC and keep it and save money for a house or get a new car, me says save money. Send the cold to the Cosso's to clean £40 and it will look good i reckon.</p> <p>Morrow night got stu coming over for the weekend which should be good, the weekend will be nothing but resting and sleeping in general.</p> <p>Me want a new house, massif one with 4 floors - just a random thought btw.</p> <p>Me<br> xx</p> <p><img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"><img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/01/31/bloody_alarms~3661293/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/01/31/bloody_alarms~3661293/#commentshttp://andycov.blog.co.uk/2008/01/27/ok_everyone_heres_the_update~3641388/tag:andycov.blog.co.uk,2008-01-27:/2008/01/27/ok_everyone_heres_the_update~3641388/Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:14:15 +0100 <p>So the details in Cluedo styleeee are:</p> <p>Andy & Stu<br> In MYO<br> Having Food.</p> <p>Yesterday was a horrible day to start with, well work first then finished at 12.</p> <p>So the plans were as follows:</p> <p><img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Home<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Walk Dogs<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Town for new clothes<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Clean House<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Sleep<br> <img src="/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif" alt="=>" class="middle" border="0"> Shower etc and wait for stu to arrive.</p> <p>This didnt happen, yes got home, walked dogs are Prologis Park then back home.

We got to MYO and had food, it was so so so full and loads of women and the odd man wearing those safari things with shiny bits on. My choice of wine selection was poor and I think Stu thought i was a Chav even though he admited to liking Cherry Lambrini - he is from Chaventry though so will let that one go.</p> <p>Meal eaten and decided to walk home, via a shop so we took the scenic route of Foleshill road <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photos/21/73/217381_e8a732f0.jpg"> and then home down some dodgey alleyway with nasty looking people around so it was a brisk walk.
