I love taking over from Chris on the night staff.
The kettle is always hot and there is a big fresh pan of porridge bubbling away on the stove.
I have the best job in the world!

I should have a learnt a long time ago not to open my mouth in public because when I speak I often say the wrong thing. It either offends and I lose friends or I embarrass myself.
Yesterday the latter happened and I think this will be entry for the Numpties!
So I had a day off and decided to nip and do some shopping, stopping at the garage on the way to buy some smokes.
"Twenty menthol please!" I asked the cute chap behind the counter.
"Sure," he says reaching for them.
I don't know why I ask for packs of twenty as it's all they sell here.
The guy waves my ciggies in front of the barcode scanner but nothing happens. He press buttons on his touch screen monitor and still nothing. He punches the touch screen a bit like I do when I'm getting irate with technology but still nothing happens. Eventually he gives up and moves over to the second till.
"I'll take you up here!" he says.
"Oh I wish!" I utter.
There is a pause.
"Did you mean to say that out loud?" he asks.
"What?" I stutter, "WHAT?! Jeez no! Sorry!" I say as I begin to go red.
He laughs and hands me the credit card receipt.
"Could you sign this please." he asks as he hands me a pen. He leans in and whispers "just your name and not your number," and winks.
I sign, grab the fags and my card and speed out of the store. I can never go in there again!

I know we've been back for a long while but various things have got on top of me and now I'm getting back on top of them (said the actress to the bishop) I decided it was time for an update. I can't tell you about Saturday until I've told you about Berlin, it wouldn't be fair. So here is a quick photo showdown of the last few days of our Berlin trip. If you wish to see the days before then look at Episode 1, Episode 2 or Episode 3.
Some of these may have been blogged before and as ever click to the picture to enlarge it.
So off we went 
to meet Kelly at the airport. Of course as soon as we'd got her and dumped the stuff back at Stephen's then a trip to a bar followed
along with a meal 
at an Ethiopian 
restaurant. From there it was off to a gothic styled bar for many many many drinks where I did my infamous "condom-up-the-nose-and-out-the-mouth" trick 
and then tried to stop the burning by snorting the cloud on top of my beer.
Everyone had a good laugh 
and after much drinking 
it was time for bed. If you wish to see those pictures you'll need to go to www.rampageinberlinnights.com and sign up to my porn site. It's a amazing how literal that web address is!
In the morning Stephen had to work so Kelly, Brad and I headed off to the touristy stuff around Berlin, taking in a lovely breakfast first
we then did the sights and saw this
and this
and found this
and then met up with Stephen and headed off for something eat here
where I had one of these
. From there we went here
(BCUK HQ)
and saw people work and saw Stephen hard at it
. We took a walk along here
to drop Kelly at the station and after saying our goodbyes
we headed here
where Stephen became nervous about catching gay (it might have been the looks I was giving him) so called
Vasco for back up. After a while we moved to a little beach bar - in Berlin! - on the coast of the river Spree - where Stephen became braver - or my advances were beginning to work
but in reality I think it was possibly just the massive magnets in my pockets because Vasco
soon came swooping in to join us. Sadly the weather (in Stephen's world) took a turn for the worst
and we all headed off to our respective beds. In the morning
once Brad was up (ooo err) we did the touristy things again and went up here
to look at this
and this
and this
as well as looking down on the place 
where we had breakfast the morning before with Kelly (where my favourite photo was taken). Once down we saw this 
and this 
and then went off to see this 
, which is the Holocaust Memorial and very very awe inspiring 
from all angles 
and massive 
yet for some reason has been built right by where the entrance to Hitler's Bunker was and to add insult to injury the blocks are coated in an anti-graffiti coating which was made by the same company that made the gas that killed the Jews! So after that we took a ride in one of these 
to take us down here 
so we could go up this 
driven by him 
with me and him 
in the back! Imagine the weight! Once at the top of this 
we had this 
view and saw this 
and then came down these 
(349 of them!) I collapsed 
and after a quick smoke and drink recovery we went and looked at 
and 
and then sitting here 
waiting for Stephen to take us here 
so we could drink some more 
then go to bed so in the morning we could go here 
to get here 
to come home.
All in all we had an absolutely fantastic time. Stephen is a wonderful host and marvellous tour guide. Kelly is amazing, just as she always has been and the people at BCUK HQ were so very warm and welcoming! Vasco was incredibly generous, Grit was stunningly beautiful, Alex was amazingly charming and the whole experience of Berlin was wondrous.

I bought my iPhone today.
I can't register it because the system is down because soooooo many people are trying to do it.
Fuck.

Shit.
Wank.

Marvellous!

Well after a chat with Grit this morning I am now sat in the kitchen using Brad's old shabby Dell desktop instead of my lovely wonderful Mac to see if using a different computer will keep me logged into Blog.
We'll see!
Huzzah to phone lines! Ours was finally installed today!
I'm blogging for the sake of blogging now. I have nothing of any great interest to say so there isn't really much point me being here at the moment.
If I think of something interesting I'll blog it.
Until then...

I don't get it.
Okay so I get that people send confessions or secrets and some blog posts them on his blog but how, if they are only put up on Sundays, do people email in with comments about a secret?
I don't understand!

I nicked this meme off PurpleDragon
Use seven words to describe your weekend. It is actually harder than you think.
Shit
Busy
Painful
False
Coffee
Travel
Grilling
In five words or less, describe how does this differ from any other weekend?
Working with a fucking cunt!

I've not done one of theses for a while!
Lilly Allen
"I'll quit music if fans don't like my new album!" she says. Well fuck off then! Don't waste the plastic on production you vile tramp! Did you guess that I can't stand this talentless old bitch?
You Tube & Viacom
I had an email this morning informing me of my You Tube subscriptions and all their new videos. I know I was totally over reacting but I actually didn't want to go and look at them because I don't know just how much information is being passed around. If a court in the US wants to pass that law or whatever then let them, it's up to the US people to fight it but why the fuck should MY privacy been invaded! Viacom own Blockbuster (Xtra-vision depending on where you live) and I've got visions of walking into my local store, choosing a DVD and at the counter being told by some spotty university drop-out that he thinks I'd prefer something else because his computer has just told him what I watch on You Tube! Fuckers!
Robert Mugabe, The UN, UK & US
The UK and US should be ashamed of themselves. If they were so willing to storm into Iraq (twice!) to sort some tinpot tyrant who was killing the citizens of that nation then soldiers should currently be in Zimbabwe. Robert Mugage needs fucking with a cattle prod. "The UN are in talks!" And I'm thinking we'll sort out world poverty with a nice cup of sugary tea and hug! Fucking twats!
A Man Giving Birth
If this "man" was to marry a woman - in church with the full ceremony - would it be newsworthy? No. Not only because it's just a "normal" wedding but also because it wouldn't happen because his birth certificate states that he is a she and no church would allow the marriage to go ahead. So, if his birth certificate says he is a woman surely a woman has just given birth and not a man? I'm sorry if that sounds like I'm not supporting transgender and all that as I do, I'm just pissed off with listening to the news tell me a man has given birth.
Eircom
You are cunts.

Due to the various issues that came up upon our return I never finished telling you the rest of the story of our trip to Berlin.
I think time has gone on too long now for me to go back and try and remember everything and tell you all about but what I would like to do is share one of my favourite photo's from our trip.
There aren't many pictures of me that I actually like, as many of you will know, but I love this one. I love it because of who is in it (Kelly, not me!) I love it because I actually like how I look! I love it because it reminds me of the great time I had in Berlin and I love it because, as a whole, the picture is just great!
I just thought I'd share that with you.

On Saturday and Sunday Brad and I decided to move a few things about in the house!
I should have just got Brad to do all the moving and pointed to places here and there as I spent most of yesterday out of action!
I've suffered for years with a bad back after getting something called "Scheuermann's Disease." It is supposed to have gone by the time you're in the 20's but unfortunately I'm one of those people (typical really) who will be suffering with it for life. I've only ever actually met one other person with it and she was more severe than I am. Mine only flares up if I do too much!
Well over the weekend I did too much!
Thankfully lots of painkillers, a hot bath and an average nights sleep seems to have made it a bit better but it's still not great! It takes me a little while to stand up or to get down into a chair but once I'm there I'm fine!
I'm at work from 2pm to 9pm. This should be fun!
In other news... the phone line is nearly done... the poles are nearer the house. In fact I'd go so far as to say that only one more pole will do it!
Who cares about back pain when I can make phone calls!
