From a galaxy far, far, away....

Another shocking defeat for charlton . dispite being a fan i knew in the back of my mind than we wouldn't be in the semi-final. Ho-Hum theres always next time....

WOO-HOO finally got around to putting a picture on my blog - yes I know it's easy but I'm new to this blogging lark!
This is my favourite old photo. I've had to do a bit of editing as my friend would probably cut my Blks off if she saw the unedited photo on the web.
You can just make out my friend's DIY haircut. She cut her hair in a show of solidarity as another girl in our class cut my hair during a lesson. That way I would not be the only kid being teased. By the time this photo was taking my hairdresser had salvaged my do!
This photo was taken about 20 years ago (can you believe we're still close friends all these years later!). She'd probably do the same thing again today if she really had to - although these days she might wear a wig/hat to cover the damage!

The weather is really pissing me off at the moment. I work for BT
(opps i shoud say OPENREACH now! has anyone heard of them?) installing & repairing phone lines so spend a lot of time during the day outside. I've just got in after a hard days work & I'm soaked through (my toes are wrinkly, looks like I've got trench foot) OK being April you expect the rain. But it is so COLD it feels like winter still, makes you kinda look forward to global warming (joke!) roll on summer.
If it wasn't bad enough that the environment is going down the crapper, it looks like todays youth is too (GOD! I sound so OLD!). While I was up a Telegraph pole in the freezing drizzle fixing a phone line (obviously... I wasn't up there for the fun of it) when I heard a loud crash behind me, turning around I could see 3 kids (no more than 10 years old) kicking & pulling someone's back fence down. An old man shouted from a window at them & they gave him the finger & only ran off when he said he was calling the police!?! It's the mindlessness of it that really gets to me . I was no angel when I was a kid but I didn't go around pointlessly destroying other peoples stuff. Even if I was REALLY BORED!!! Still that's enough Ranting for now or I'll start sounding like a grumpy old man (too late)

Well it's my birthday today, Woo-Hoo you may say but it's getting a bit depressing. I had to work today, it's the 1st time since i can remember that i've not been able to book it off work. I got up late, opened the Cards that i had got (my girlfriend hides them as they come through the post & gives them all to me on my birthday cos if she didn't i'd open them all before my birthday & she doesn't think thats right!?!)My Girlfriend got me a Mini- fruit cake (yum!). Then rushed out to work, which is when the Shit hit the Fan, i was one of those days when SOD'S law seems to take an unheathly interest in you. What could go wrong did & i rushed around like a blue arsed fly intill finally finishing late at 6:00PM (i'm meant to finish a 4:00). Well at least i can have my birthday dinner KFC & a whole tub of Ben & Jerry's.
What age should you be when you start mourning your birthdays instead of celebrating them? surely 27 is too early?

Hello, I've just set up this blog (Every idiot seems to have one these days - lol) as I am bored and trying to shelter my mind from the fact that tomorrow is Monday
Don't really know what to write at the moment - I am sure that I will think of plenty of things to write in due course....
I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Rob. I live on the outskirts of London with my girlfriend (aka purple-chick), 2 hamsters and an incredibly large fish!
My girlfriend started a blog on Friday whilst I was having a kip on the sofa. She won't let me read it until my birthday on Tuesday. I might have a sneaky peek when she's not looking but am worried that I might have to fake surprise on my birthday. I'm not the best of actors & my girlfriend seems to have a psychic ability to read my mind.
Anyway, that's all for now. Will write another entry when some inspriration arrives.

PS - interesting fact - to the best of mankind's knowledge granite doesn't exist on any other planet in the solar system.
