Skins

As much Lost as i watched yesterday it was the 3o mins of Skins that stuck in my very tired mind all day... Didn't think i would like the 2nd Generation aspect of it but having watched the first episode i think it is inspired, instead of following the same bunch off to uni and finding ways to keep them all together they started with the younger siblings class, excellent.

Now i just need As If to be released on DVD, was the Skins equivalent from 2002 ish, great when it was on TV but haven't seen it in so long i really want to see it again.  Maybe one day...

Forget lost weekends, it was Lost Sunday

Sunday 25th January - 0700 hours awoke to give Tim a lift to the station, far too early but have a big day planned.

Back home and bed - watched all of Lost season 4, all 14 episodes... in a row, then the new season started at nine so another two episodes there... Fucking A

That wasn't the end of the day tho because at 1am it was time for the Royal Rumble. Nice twist with Jeff Hardy and the surprise entrant of RVD was inspired, shame no Christian Cage tho.  

Accidents & Emergencies

Don't ask me why but at some point on Saturday night it seemed like an appropriate time to visit A&E.  We had bee to the Dynevor Arms in Groes Faen and had a reasonable time, very enjoyable prawn curry, not so enjoyable rum when Huw's knee began to play up.  From then on it all goes a little hazy but from what i recall we caught a bus to Royal Glam but still had a fair old walk to the entrance which Huw seemed incapable of... so i tried to give him a piggy back only i wasnt so stable on my feet and promptly fell over, face got a little bit grazed but knowing my track record i wasn't holding out much hope, must have been funny for the receptionist - my brother has hurt his knee and i seem to have fallen on my face, woops.  So ive managed to graze all down the left side of my head (i'll up a pic when i get the chance) and have a swollen lip but its nothing on the last time so it could have been worse.

Work was horrible today, felt rotten and had to put up with sarky comments from Steve about the great Arthur Gate and M&S and how he would have been put on disciplinary.  I felt like walking out but bit my tongue for a bit but finally snapped back which probably didn't help but what did he expect.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year my peeps, no big post right now as v tired and a little drunk but i will regale (?) you with two stories:

1 - Tim's bad day - get up, get burger king, get petrol, forget to replace fuel cap and drive home with the cap off and flap open.  no idea how much petrol was lost then but that is not the end,  gave him a lift directly to halfords where he was able to purchase of a replacement (I have since learned that an unofficial replacement may fail your MOT???) and then on returning home his hand went in his pocket only to discover that the barbeq sauce he had half inched from burger king had exploded.  Oh how i laughed.

2 - Rhys told us of how as a child he had put a fork in the toaster, turned on with no bread in mind you, no intention of suicide just childish play.  He then questioned whether he was actually dead and all of this was heaven.  What a fantastic/lovely (I cant decide which is better) thing to say.  NYE 08/09 Me Rhys Huw Pearl Holley Stu Ed & Gabby watching shit on TV and twisting in the new year. v enjoyable 

3 - Holley wore a tux, bow tie and all, what a star

4 - I took a wrong turn on my way to the Revenue earlier and ended up in Caerphilly, fantabulous tho - ice roads, frost in the air, snow on the ground it looked incredible, well worth it.

I can't count
