September 20, 2009

We had a belter of a holiday,good food,good drink,sunshine & a bloody good storm, We had a relaxing time and would recommend Alcudiato anyone, Our apartment was in the Bellvue complex and a good place to be, a pool and bar right outside our door..What more could ya want eh?

Mind you back to the factory on Monday night,And planning the winter break next week..The Canary islands are always warm so i reckon it back there..Fuerteventura is on the list..Never been to that one so something new eh?

I nipped into the tattoo studio and got the detailing done on the kangaroo and the Nottingham crest also had another piece put on.pics to follow.

Anyroad im off..gotta defrost the fridge in time for the new one to be delivered..Its all go aint it?

Have a good one and take care.

Do we all hate Derby?

The last of the days off and back to the factory in the morning,Without Douggie on the team,Mind you i shall be catching up with him later today as he is booked in for a few hours work on his back piece at the tattooists today, Football related stuff going on his back..not my thing but that’s the way he is,Even worse it’s Derby County stuff,and that sticks in the craw of Hood Towns footy fans. Means bugger all to me though!

While Douggie is off work we will get a sub in to cover his work and we get to work with a new employee on Saturday,Still awaiting the changes but status quo for now.

The holidays are just four weeks away now and we are all looking forward to the sun lounger i can tell ya.

Anyroad i’m off to do some biz,then grab a few pints.. Have a good one you lot and take care out there.

A stabbing pain in the back.

Just back from the tattooists and now have the outlines of the next threes pieces on my back,I shall get the detail work done after my hols (Only a few weeks to go) so i am well chuffed. Mind you i am a bit sore as the new pieces are scattered over my back making it feel like an allover burn.The whole piece is looking good now,i tried to take some photos but i could not manage it on my own so i will get Mrs B to take a few snaps later then i shall post um up.

I am off out tonight to meet up with the lovely Mrs B and a few of her work collegues for a few pints beside the canal..i love the summer nights and for once this week it aint raining!!!

Last week went well with two days intensive training on some new procedures and the remainder of the week at the factory,We are still awaiting news of more changes and my fingers are crossed for a shorter working week.

Anyroad its time for me to get sorted for tonights beer bash. Have a good weekend you lot and stay safe.

Sore but happy.

Another piece of skin art today, A large piece down my spine and it hurt like hell i can tell ya, i shall post some more photos later, Needless  to say i am chuffed to bits with it and the latest one has brought together the whole thing, it’s looking good and with only a few more designs to go i reckon the end result will be bob on! a few weeks off from the tattooists now to give my sore back time to heal…Cheers Steve..Nice work.

A bit of a crap photo but i took it myself and it aint easy taking a snap of ya back!

Back to the factory in the morning for the start of the day shifts, I ain’t to keen on weekend shifts as i reckon weekends should be spent with the lovely Mrs B, Mind you with the holiday just a few weeks off i reckon i will cope.

Anyroad it’s time to prepare dinner so i am off, Have a good weekend you lot and take care.

Don’t touch the marrows…

My mate Dan has a short film on the Virgin Short film site.. A good un it is unall.. if you get the chance to see him perform live grab it, He made us roll with laughter with his performance in The Big Adventure. Nice one Dan, I hope we catch up with you later.

Oh if you have half an hour spare why not enjoy Thick As Thieves, a cracker.

 Break a leg, Dig a ditch and keep smiling.

SHAMELESS………..

Hard labour.

Nice to see the rip off artists ousted from the county hall…Good riddence to um! Nuff said on that i reckon.

Rain,good for the garden but its keeping us indoors…Mind you with only two weeks to go till we fly out, who gives one?

Oh and i must mention the bad attitude of the youth of today,I had a scroat get his face in mine yesterday,all puffed up and red faces he was, mind you all talk and no action,They make me sick with all their showboating. Its about time they all fucked off and lived together is some gated immature housing scheme. Get some respect!

Off for a game or two..Have a good one and take care as you never know who is gunna turn on you!

Edited after my mistake was pointed out….Ooops.

Just the ticket.

A bit of a mixed bag of events at the factory this week,But at the end we done and dusted um all.Nice to do a good job  and come out smiling eh?

A nice steady week for me on the next block of shifts as i am the gaffer..Ivory towers and all that.

Good news today as the holiday tickets come through the letter box.Always good to have them in ya mitt, I have been following the weather forcast in Malta and it looks to be a warm one.

Bad news is its gunna be a bit overcast here in Hood Town over the weekend so i reckon it’s holding hands in front of the tele for us,Nice!

Anyroad i am off to meet the lovely Mrs B from the office and grab a bit of something for dinner,have a good weekend and take care .Oh and life means life eh?

Bustin out all over.

Flaming June..And a nice start to the month what with the sun shining down and only 12 shifts to work until the hols..How good is that?

I suppose it is too much to ask for an easy ride during the next few shifts but ya never know,Its our gaffers last week before he buggers off to Barcelona for a spot of culture and sun,The lucky bastard..It kind of rankles when his hols come before mine. mind you whilst he is topping up his tan i will be the gaffer,my feet are gunna enjoy the week off i reckon.

Not a lot to do today,return Mrs Bs book to the libuary (And pay the usual late return fine) then i reckon an hour on the patio copping some rays will be in order,Hey ya have to relax before work eh?

Anyroad i am gunna grab a brew before setting off,i hope you had a good weekend,Mine was a belter.

A Lovely Day.

How nice is it to have the sun shining down eh? Gives me a chance of topping up the tan in prep for the holiday. Mrs B has nipped up to the hairdressers for the holiday trim then we are off into Hood Town for a spot of shopping,might even grab a cold one in the Bell if i behave…

Also it is good to see frogs back in the garden,Lets hope that they and the hedgehogs scoop up all the slugs and snails eh? The garden  is looking lush now that we have had a few days of sun on it,Mind you those of you with lawns will be cursing it as the grass grows so fast that you can almost watch it grow.

Anyroad i’m off for a shower then into town,have a good weekend you lot and enjoy the sun.

The nature of the beast.

May 28, 2009

A very busy week at the factory and we all put in that extra bit to see the job through, And i reckon all of us were well looking forward to these days off! i dint get up till 11 today so i must have been running on empty on my last shift eh? Only the night shifts to go then our gaffer is off on his hols then it’s my turn to jet off.

 Planning is ongoing for the September hols and the added bonus of young Master B coming along with us is yet another target to aim at,Mind you i think we have something in planning for our anniversary in August?? Life is good.

Bad news on the streets of Hood Town as another victimof the gun dies, and another gets stabbed, I must say it gives me a feeling of dread when young Master B is out on the town,Well you never know what you are gunna walk into do ya?

Good news on the garden front as Grunt our resident Hedgehog has shown his face, Mrs B spotted him the other evening (I had gone to bed early) trundling around the garden scooping up snails. i hope we see some new borns again this year,It’s good to know that we are doing our bit for nature.

Oh and my lastest piece of skin art is looking good now the scabby bits are coming away, I am off up the tatt shop on friday with Master B,he is getting some of those crappy tribal things put on,Whilst i am there i shall discuss the ways of getting a longer session on my back to get it done quicker.

Anyroad i got a bit of shopping to do for tonights dinner so i’m off, Take care out there!
