No ID Who Cares
As I got to the checkout two youths were having a discussion with the checkout girl, she had asked for ID as they had a case of bud to buy. One of the youths walked away while the older looking of the two argued with two checkout girls that he was old enough to buy the drink.... He had no ID (I could ad EA on the end and still be right) but his persistence paid off, they let him buy the drink..... I did pass a comment; “When in doubt sell them the drink….” It went down like a fart in a space suit, I have to say….
Company Policy, I don’t think so

DIY
Got to the bathroom department and there displayed were the toilet seats available. A couple of dozen, all different designs… Loads of nice white one’s… why wasn’t I surprised when I she told me “Nah, don’t like any of them”

Country Driving
View Larger Map and Newtownhamilton.
The road is quite tight in places and the last thing you want to see is a pedestrian on your side of the road who doesn’t know you’re behind them. One was a woman with two small dogs on very long leads. I love animals, but nowhere to go but straight if the dogs suddenly decide to run into the road…. Missus, short lead on the road, Long lead in the field…
On the return journey heading back the Armagh road I met prat of the year… just outside Keady, in a silver 4X4 approaching me at a tight part of the road I slowed down to pass safely when I notice this elderly driver with a young girl on his knee and two pairs of hands on the steering wheel…. Some people just don’t care……

Benefits of Losing Weight
I don't care if those of you (OK both of you) who read my blog are getting bored of me blogging about my diet (Wednesday's only) I went to fat fighters tonight to find I've lost another 4lb.... 37 now in total....
I was thinking about some of the benefits I've noticed so far since losing the weight: Snoring has stopped, sleeping better, more room in the bed, blood pressure down, buying smaller clothes but the funniest thing.... The large vehicle I drive goes about 7 mph faster...... It's not because I weigh less but I've had to move the seat forward 3 clicks and I've found the accelerator goes down a bit further.
Before any mule orifice say's "Lose it all and it will go 60mph faster" ...
I thought of it first.....

Duty of Care
It will be for the court to establish exactly how and why the guy started betting again and whether William Hill can be held legally liable for his behaviour......
It's always someone else's fault when we mess up..... I wonder if I ask my local pub to stop selling me beer and the bakery to stop selling me cream cakes, if they don't, will it be their fault if I get drunk and fat? can I sue them ?
I was wondering who can I sue for being fat & ugly....it surely can't be my fault?...... Where do we draw the line and accept responsibility for our own actions? .....

Eat Dust
Thats Mates For You
I'm doing a project at the moment were I've been making some cookery videos perhaps for YouTube or even for this blog. I asked a work colleague (Used to be a mate) to run his eye over one of me making soup.
My ex mate said
"Why don't you just buy soup out of Tescos"
Thanks for the constructive criticism .......

2008 BAFTA Awards
I was amazed to see most of the stars reading out the nominations for the various categories using auto-cue (And badly at that). I would have thought being stars they would have been able to learn and remember their lines.
They could learn a lot from Sir Ian McKellen a true pro who showed the youngsters how it should be done...

National Treasure 2
Oh yes, complained and got our ticket money refunded....
Oh Dear
Heading back from County Fermanagh yesterday evening developed engine trouble. Ended up on the hard shoulder on the M1 at around 16:20. I got recovered after 11pm by a large tow truck. I was glad I had my mobile, my trusty iPod and my digital camera with me. When I got bored phoning people, watching videos on my ipod, I turned to my camera and took some night photos from inside my vehicle. I stayed inside as it was really cold and anyway there were a few hard shoulder rats running about looking grub.....
I was glad when the mechanics came out as they let me sit in their van with the heater going …. At last some heat.. Thanks lads.
