This was then…

Hello

Well look at that! I’ve been away quite a while haven’t I?

Sorry. Not sure why I haven’t been around. What’s worse is that I’m not sure I care.

I guess other things in my life have taken over, maybe become more important.

As those of you who read Brad’s blog will know we’ve had [...]

My grin gets bigger as my stomach gets smaller!

Arriving at Mrs Dietwoman’s house this afternoon I was a little worried about what she was going to tell me.

“So how was this week?” she asked, as she does every week.
“Not good,” I said, “I’ve kind of cheated twice.”
“How do mean cheated?”
“Well I had two meals out.”

She frowned a little but more so [...]

Who needs to be fit when you’re as clever as me?!

Apologies for the lack of updates recently.

I’ve been incredibly snowed under with stuff at home and at work. I’m on this course (as most of you know) through work and the workload for me is a lot so I’d hate to think what it’s like for those people on the course who have kids [...]

Day 2

On Monday when I say Mrs. Dietwoman she told me that the first and second day would be the hardest. If that’s true then tomorrow should be dead easy!

Today has been harder than yesterday but then again I wasn’t at work yesterday I was on my course. Today I made breakfast for the [...]

Oi Fatty! – Part Two!

Gorgeous Subbers won.

I’m 20st 6lbs!

Well not for much longer.

Day one of my diet is going well. I’m hungry but not starving, although I was earlier. Thankfully I managed to stave off the hunger but keeping in my mind that I’d be enjoying my soup later. I still have one meal owing to [...]

Oi! Fatty!

So I went off to see my new fitness instructor and nutritionist today.

I knew I was in for an eye opening experience but didn’t realise just how much! For €80 a time she is well worth it. Actually, I think she is. Lets just say that right now she appears it, we’ll [...]

Be very careful...

Before you comment make sure you’ve read the ENTIRE entry!

It’s my opinion and it may not necessarily match yours but it’s still mine so to me it’s right, to you it might not be but to me it is.

Florence + The Machine.

In my opinion she’s not “all that.” Mediocre unoriginal voice with old format [...]

I’m sorry, who?

I’m often amazed at how the mind works when it comes to memory recall. I couldn’t tell you what I had for lunch yesterday but a simple comment on the radio has me instantly remembering something from over twenty-five years ago that I hadn’t thought about for probably the same amount of time.

On [...]

2009 and so on...

I’ve been sat going though my blog entries of 2009 to try and boost my memory so I can write a review of my year but 2009 was so full of death and sadness that I don’t think it would make a good review.

Of course there were some good times like our trip to Berlin [...]

Friday Five

As seen here.

1. Have you ever taken part in a demonstration?
Yes.  It was fun.

2. Is there an issue you’d protest against no
When isn’t there an issue I’d protest again?  I love soup in a polystyrene cup and standing round a burning oil drum!

3. Through-out history there has been an event that has lead to every [...]

Shopping “up north!”

So today we headed off to Enniskillen in Northern Ireland. For those of you that don’t know (and yes there are some surprisingly) Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but Southern Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) is not, it’s a whole separate country. Bert and I live in the Republic.

On the [...]

We happy few!

I have been watching the series Band of Brothers recently. A friend lent me the box-set after telling me how good he’d found it. I’m half way through and I’m throughly enjoying it but it’s had an interesting but welcoming effect.

My grandfather was an engineer in the Royal Air Force, stationed in Burma [...]

Yes, I’m still allowed to drive!

Reading Rampages post about being run over, other than making me worry about the little lambeen, it made me remember the times I ran over two people (separate incidents) and aimed at a third. You’d think I made a habit of it wouldn’t you?! I assure you I don’t!

Incident Number One
So there I [...]

Interesting, but good, advert.

I think he ended up with the right one!

Bad course, bad staff and bad managers! But then there’s me!

As some of you will know I’m a course through work. This course has eight modules to it and yesterday and today we began Module Two. Intellectual Disability Studies.

What we have learnt over two days could have been taught in half a day. We were basically taught how to fill in a work [...]

This is not a sticky post!

Sometimes I get bored.

Right now I’m on a course through work and during some group work, when we’d actually finished doing the work, me and another guy on the course got to talk about lunch and what we were planning on eating. One thing lead to another and we started talking about the things [...]

Do I stamp my feet or give in?

We arrived to view the venue at 10.30am as booked and we’re greeted by the duty manager. I knew the events manager wasn’t available as she’d already told me the night before that she wouldn’t be about but I only wanted to look at the rooms and maybe get a price so it didn’t [...]

Forward planning…

Today I’m off to view the venue for my 40th birthday in 2013. Yes I’m planning well in advance but I want it at the Galway Bay Hotel and it gets booked up REALLY quickly. So quickly in fact that the date I want (June 1st) is already pencilled in for someone [...]

Excellent poster campaign!

Two things to note…

Number One – I didn’t give the video that title.
Number Two – That’s Galway that is!
