Phoned in sick at work this morning we had a Barbie yesterday the first one this year invited my twin and her husband over i was on to my second bottle of Magners and i though stuff it don't want to go to work in the morning so when i got up today i phoned in sick for two days naughty or wot might drag my arse in tomorrow will see still got entrapment and 8 mile to watch sod it i know what is going down tomorrow without the need of a crystal ball or as in star wars and using the force hehe pretty sure i wont be anywhere near the place they call work ................

I got up decided to beat the rush to the hair dressers and got there at nine am only to discover they don't open till ten when i got back later on at ten to ten there was four people waiting cant bleeding win he is half decent barber so its always worth the weight and he is only charging £4.50 so cant moan what bugs me though is women go to a barbers all the hairdressers locally there is loads plus all the mobile hairdressers ........ why use a mans barbers if they want to go to a mans barbers they should be made to wait until its completely empty of any men .......the rest of day just chilled out did nothing too physical

Tuesday went to Las Iguanas in Leeds city center next to the Corn Exchange the food was mediocre had a duck enchiladas a side order of nachos and sour cream for desert had the Aztec chocolate fudge cake with coconut ice cream my wife had chimichanga a tortilla parcel with chicken guacamole sored cream and rice and salad followed by creme caramel i had a pint of larger and my wife had a gin and tonic the bill came in at £33.40 no wonder the place was empty hehe never mind it was nicely set out the decor etc was spot on the value was over priced in my estimate by £15.00 a pint was £3.20.

Wednesday
went over to Oakenshaw near Bradford to get tow bar fitted and pick up trailer for sons motocross bike just short of five hundred quid including number plate electrics and tie down straps was nervous going back on the m62 i have never towed anything before it was not that bad was nervous about it unhitching or tipping over with no weight on its back not allowed to go in the third lane on motorways but thats no hardship and the car insurance is no extra so all in all should be ok if i strap the bike done tight enough
sold the old shed on eBay for one pound

Thursday
another new shed came for the garden will have to collect more junk now.took the bike and trailer out no problems checked half way in to the journey that the bike was still secured ok. considering its only held in place with two straps its relying on the laws of physics that if the front end is tied down and under tension the back end cannot move up or down so far so good got there and back ok got to admit i did not go over 40 mph

Friday
wifey went to the flower show in Harrogate i reorganized the two sheds moving stuff from one to another and erecting shelfs tool hooks and putting bolts through the hinges and locks to make them more secure went to Tesco got a copy of F.H.M and on dvd bought Red Dragon, Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones and 8 mile all costing £2.84 each cheaper than renting .
took son out with bike got a puncture in the front wheel will have to get new inner tube and going to through in some Goop if he picks another nail up will reseal the tube instantly goop costs £6.99 and is good for the life of the tyre just pump it in to a deflated tyre than re inflate problem solved hopefully

Nothing great happened or occurred this weekend just work eat and sleep although i did buy a pair of trousers from next clearance for third off the original price and borrowed the cd Lloyd street love but thats about it.
i have got Tuesday Wednesday and Friday off this week and its our wedding anniversary tomorrow so we going for lunch tomorrow in Leeds city center might try Mexican for a change we always have Indian will see .

Got to go back to the dental school tomorrow and i'm really dreading it i know they will freeze all the surrounding areas and no doubt if it hurts too much they will have no choice but to stop mid flow , i still dont think all this treatment is going to do any lasting good and i get the impression that i'm just there to practice on a human guinea pig and its prolonging any future problems rather than curing any.Still must be brave but i guess would rather go get another tattoo or two than face the dentist chair once again .

I have got three days off next week Tuesday Wednesday and Friday on the 24th its my wedding anniversary 17 years i have been married that must warrant a new Playstation at the least and a curry at a decent Indian restaurant .

The tattoo is healing well and i have learnt that something that reads the same which ever where we read it from is called an ambigram check out this site http://www.wowtattoos.com.
like the true love might be another tattoo on the horizon not till after the summer ao not till next year will see how things go,are in no rush ...........................

Got out or escaped out of the office today for a couple of hours,this was just after dinner i had to go get a piece of paper signed so i can earn the local authority 2k which i don't get 1p commission.

so far in the last two years i must have got at least 25 of these bits of paperwork signed and completed or if not more and its all been down to my own endeavors and hard work following leads and tracking people once they leave training and get into any type of employment

from my LCC wages i earn 25k a year so these bits of paper have more than covered the cost of my wages so as a reward to me i decided not to rush back to the office and enjoy the sights of Leeds city center stopped of at Mc Donald's and got a large banana milk shake and lazied on a walk about round the center of Leeds crocodile Dundee would have been proud.

i bought some sunglasses from Next but decided i don't like them as soon as i got them home and two tattoo magazine this months Skin Deep and the American magazine called simply Tattoo .

I was gone two and a half hours and it was noticed the office is only fifteen minutes from the center of Leeds but at the end of the day i always ask my boss the same two questions which are 1. who is your best worker and 2. why am i hehe

went to the computer fair what a rip off stall holders selling dvd shrink on its own on disc for a fiver why? when its free to d/l i asked
the reply because people don't want to pick up a virus (thought thats why we had anti virus programs )or they cant be bothered to d/l it for themselves , yeah right, i bet thats true.

yet these same people can be arsed to get up Sunday go to a computer fair in Rothwell either drive or catch a bus to the event.

Then pay a £3.00 admission fee then fork out another £5.00 on the disc so they can install dvd shrink a program if i remember correctly which takes all of 2 minutes to d/l nice fucking work if you can get it.

The same stallholder had clone dvd, anydvd, Nero and dvd2one and dvd decrypter yet when i asked for a pirate copy of vista he started lecturing me about piracy when i mentioned Nero, clone dvd or anydvd is not shareware but you need to buy a license for it he shut the fuck up hypocrite hehe i do want a legit copy of vista which i will buy once sp1 is available .

Needless to say went home empty handed plus three pound lighter

Finally made it to the tattoo shop got there just before 11 o clock got out for 2 0 clock and as always the first ten minutes are always the worst.
my tattoo artist , and he is a artist he can create wicked drawings of monsters and dragons Giger type themes and Paul Booth type work who works out of last rites tattoos which he is owner off the tattoo shop situated in the U.S.A http://darkimages.com/enter.asp

Back to my artist i was lucky to catch him he jets of tomorrow to Florida but only six months ago he had a stroke and is now slightly paralyzed on his right hand side hopefully this will improve over the coming weeks and this is why its been so difficult arranging a sitting .
his work colleague never mentioned this all the times i phoned up for an appointment what had occurred he just said he was not working and left it at that.
As you can see my new tat reads life death no matter which way it is viewed from its not an original idea but i have not seen it done both ways as i have had it done.
its usually just the one word obviously it does cost twice as much in pain , time effort and money to have it done like this i like because hopefully people will see it as life before death and hopefully for us all reading this thats the way it will work out.
it was inked on my right lower leg/calf and for a guy and artist who is only using the one good hand it is truly a work of art both in effort ability and dedication and is better than what alot can do with two good hands he is left handed but never the less what a feat.

so big thank you Chris do have a pleasant and a holiday and a totally chilled out time in Florida don't drink all the Budweiser and don't smoke all the Marlboro's .

What a way to spend a Friday now its chillout time going to down a few magners have a Indian and watch a decent dvd Sunday its the computer fair at Rothwell sports Centre from ten till three cya there if anyone wants to see how the tat is healing just ask hehe

Friday went to Castleford to get some paint and flat packed kitchen base units 60% off which was the same offer they had on two years ago ?.

So good Friday i was working on the house fitting new kitchen units and worktops to existing kitchen units i installed a couple of years ago also did some painting apt be it only a wall.

Saturday finished work bought a new polo shirt from Next for a pricley sum of £17.00 because we was going to Holmfirth to a wedding reception evening party .
which was a cool time since i was allowed to drink and not drive home so i had a few lagers and J&D's which went down too nice pity i had to go to work at the Hospital Sunday .The buffet was well enjoyable especially the locally made pork pies and the Indian samosas

Sunday got a easter egg of the nurse,s most people on working on the ward got one had it after tea which was from the Chinese take away had duck in sweet chili sauce with spring onions and ginger yum yum .

Monday bought some end panels for the kitchen which where not panels but solid pine base unit doors which i got over at the Glasshoughton B&Q for £1.78p for a two pack why so cheap i don't know said end of line but even so that is too cheap.

Tuesday went to get a tow bar priced up and a bike trailer ordered costing £450 which is a fair price cant get it until the 26th of this month so my son is pissed of
still its now ordered and as promised as soon as we get it i will take him out on his bike fingers crossed it wont be pissing down .

Got rest of week off want to re-paint the kitchen go get tattoo done which i have been trying to sort out for ages now and go to a computer fair on Sunday which is on near where i live ant normally go to them because by the time i finish work so is the computer fair

Took the car today cd player on cranked up max window open fully a steady 40 mph all the way to work .

which also meant no queuing for a bus that is going to be 30mins late not having to listen to people moaning about the state of public transport certain people moaning on because the windows are open and its causing a draft someones got his i-pod on too loud and mobile phones going contently off or people ringing up to see what there having for tea only to be told its fish and chips and they have to get them hehe

Kids on holiday from school so that means i have the car yippee i can leave home much later on a morning which means more bed and i can get home quicker instead of getting home at 5.30 pm its four thirty p.m so more time chilling more time on the net.
