A couple of Greggs sausage rolls and a wee piece of iced gingerbread for afters.

The first episode of "My Adventures with Superman", the new Superman animated series. It's animated in more of a vaguely manga/anime style than the traditional Western animation style of previous series. Clark Kent/Superman is at the very beginning of his career as a superhero. He, Lois La...

My eldest niece turns 30 in a week or so. That's making me feel old today.

A busker on Buchanan Street singing Aztec Camera's "Somewhere in my Heart".

One of my favourite songs. It reminds me of my teenage years.

After all the talk about cider on the other thread I was listening to 'I am a cider drinker' - the Alestorm version and not The Wurzels. You haven't lived until you've heard The Wurzels cover version of "Golden Brown". ;) Last song I listened to was "Sing, Sing, Sing" performed ...

Unlikely, unless our good friend Dot works for On Site Scanning down in Gourock.

Completely agree, Dot, yes. Ask if you need to borrow something, don't just swipe it off someone else's desk without a by-your-leave. I don't mind the lads at my table borrowing my wee dustpan and brush when it comes to tidy up time at the end of the shift, but they ask first. But like I keep saying...

Tea in the pub yesterday afternoon/evening was - a pint of Strongbow dark fruits cider, some cheesy garlic bread, a plate of battered chicken strips with BBQ sauce, and another pint of Strongbow dark fruits to finish off.

Which was very nice indeed.

Meeting up with my mate Jimmy in the pub after work, so I'll see what takes my fancy from their menu.

And we're back on the Wolverhampton social work stuff. Blech, hate it. Anyway, Monday is gonna be fun. :) Background: Each team lead has a large whiteboard behind their desk with the medical practice name, hourly targets etc. So, a few weeks ago, my team lead, Marty, got a new board and has been hav...

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1942).

"Since I Left You" by The Avalanches.

Yer actual Top 20 hit way back in 2001, I hadn't heard it in gawd knows how many years, then two nights in a row I hear it on the radio just as I'm heading to my bed.

Another thing that pisses me off about the bossfella is the way he just swans in whenever it suits him. He lives in the semi-posh housing estate down the bottom of the hill. Ten minutes walk from the building. We've been slaving away since 8am, and it's the back of 11 before he makes his presence kn...

The big boss, in his infinite wisdom, has decided that as a thank you for all our hard work over the past few weeks, we're having a BBQ next month. Who the fuck has a BBQ in September, in Scotland? At least he's sensible enough that we're having it out in the car park, rather than inside where there...

Tomorrow should be interesting.

One of the clients is coming up for a meeting with the bossman, and to have a wee nosey around.

So we've to be on our best behaviour.
