Footy Funnies

Had to share this with you as it made me laugh, it is a couple of videos featuring pretty inept stretcher bearers. First up is one where the guy seems to have a problem getting hold of the stretcher. The look on the footballers face is pure magic, as in "WHAT THE *@!*"

The next one is just as funny, unless you happen to be on the stretcher that is!

Hope you enjoyed them, I will be on the lookout for some more, so keep those eyes peeled.

Heroes just gets better and better



The only problem with a show like Heroes is that is always ends on a cliffhanger, and here in the UK we can watch the next episode, almost straight away rather than wait a week. I haven't done so yet (what else would I do on a Wednesday night?) but I have been sorely tempted.

But the good thing is we are now starting to get a few answers like the meaning of the sign below;

This is the way up we always seemed to see this sign, but we now discover that it forms part of the logo for Pinhearst Industries - Arthur Petrelli's company - and Uber-villan.

If all this is no making much sense to you then I suggest you watch the first series to get you aquainted with it. I am going to try and put up a character breakdown over the next few weeks, to give my opinion to what the main characters are about.

I may even have to start a new blog on it if I have the time, in the meantime for all Heroes virgins check out Heroes at NBC to view episodes and get some stuff, or Heroeswiki for a load of info on the show.

A Welcome Break

A Well Needed Holiday

Just back off my nice little break in Great Yarmouth, and it was indeed a needed break. had quite a good time, and the kids loved it which is the main thing.
My daughter Chloe entered the "Haven's Got Talent" contest, and she managed to finisin the top four so I was well made up with that. Her Talent? Telling jokes, so she takes after me a lot there.
When we got back we arrived to a new bathroom, which is very nice and seems to make the room a little bigger than before.

We also had a mate come round and fit the SKY+ at half the price of the normal installation cost. Don't know how we got along without it really. It is the bees knees, just to be able to pause a live show, have tea, and then come back and watch where you left off from.

Who needs a video recorder or DVD recorder???

I think the next thing we will have to do is change our Internet provider to SKY, as Tiscali is really pants at the moment. SKY would also be cheaper!

To top off a great month, my team Lincoln City only lost once in 8 games, I managed to get them to the top of the table in Football Manager 2007, and I have now got a lease car from work, a nice Vauxhall Passat Estate with keyless start and electronic handbrake!!

Good to be back

Heroes and Villans

Yes they are back, Hiro, Ando, Claire, Peter and the rest and thankfully we have Sylar back again.

As I write this I am waiting with bated breath for episode 2 season 3, of one of the best shows on TV. Heroes is back, with a bang!

From all the excerpts I have seen this looks to be the best series yet, and already there are a ton of questions to be answered.

Why all of a sudden has Peter gone bad?

How has Sylar got back his powers?

How did Bennett wind up in the company's jail?

What does the formula do?

Where has Parkman been sent to?

What did Syler mean by "You can't die Claire your special"?

How is Linderman back???????

Syler Ubervillan or Saviour of the world???

So many more questions that are unanswered it is looking like this could be the best one yet.

Would love to hear anyones plot lines and thoughts for the new series.

Update

A week on....

....and my eyes are still seeing lovely!
Went for my weekly check-up on Saturday, and was told by the optician that I must be an extremely fast healer, as she had to recheck my documents to see if I had had the procedure stated.
The Lasik, involves cutting a flap in the cornea, the Lasek doesn't. My 'flap' was hardly visible, hence the reason for the recheck of paperwork.

I even treated myself to a decent pair of sunglasses. Too late maybe for this year but not for next.

No Words to describe

Better than 20 - 20!

Well it is over! On Friday at 16:15 I went in for my Laser surgery on my eyes, and by 16:30 I was sitting in the waiting room with a cup of coffee waiting for my mate to pick me up. With no pain and no discomfort noticeable at all!!

Optical Express have looked after me really well, if you want to check them out, click on the link here Optical Express remember they are worldwide!

So how about the operation itself, well here we go with all the details;

I was called in by the surgern, and he told me his name before describing the procedure, he then explained and demonstrated certain noises I would be hearing. On then to the 'Op' chair. A bit like a dentists chair but your lying down. I then had to look at a blinking red light whilst one eye was covered and the other (the one to be operated on) had anaesthetic drops put in. The surgen then clamped open my eye with a couple of weights (well that is all they felt like, and it was really, really not in the slightest bit uncomfortable. He then said I will feel slight pressure on the eye (a bit like pushing your thumb against your eyelid), and I wont see anything for a few seconds. Which I didn't! and this bit was the most uncomfortable of all - on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 1/2 seriously hardly uncomfortable at all.

Next up he put in like a cone device, and then a 'frosted window', all of which I could see (It's a bit like having a glass plate in front of your eyes and someone wiping things on the glass - totally weird!) . Next up the clicking of the laser, and in my opinion the worst bit, no there was no pain, it was just this smell of burning.

And after a quick wipe the job was done, and onto the next eye. The whole procedure took less than 5 minutes per eye, it was probably closer to 3. I then went back into the waiting room, and despite a bit of blurryness could see LOVELY!

When my mate picked me up half an hour later I was able to read number plates on cars at a greater distance than him, also the blurryness had gone. Of course prior to that I had been given my eye drops and the coolest pair of goggles (NOT!!!!!) to wear at night to protect the eyes. For the goggles think 'Charlie and the Choclate factory" Mike TV room. Honest!

And so today, the day after. Well I drove myself the 40 miles to the clinic to have the eyes checked for infection and to check the sight. No infections problems or anything else, and the best bit, the optition wanted me to read a certain line, but I could read two line below. She then told me the line she wanted me to read was for 20 - 20 vision. So happily my eyes are now better than 20 - 20 GET IN THERE!!!!!

OK I will update again when I have had about a week to recover, cheers for now, oh how does that song go......

..... Bom Bapa Bommm Bapa I can see clearly now the rain has gone, I can see all obstacles in my way, gone are the dark clouds that had me down, it's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny daaayyyyy!

Has it really been that long?

A sight for Sore Eyes

Job is going well, training pretty relaxed (but I haven't done the hard stuff yet!!!), and I am just back from holiday in Majorca. A lovely little place called C'an Picafort, which has a great beach, clear water and shallow (up to your waist 200 yards out!).
But on Friday everything will become even clearer for me, as I am finally getting Laser Eye Surgery done! I can kiss goodbye to the specs for good, not long now which means the butterflies will be starting in earnest.
Here is what my surgery is about;

"LASIK stands for laser assisted in situ keratomileusis which refers to creating a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome and using a laser to reshape the underlying cornea.
In LASIK eye surgery, precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue by a special laser reshapes the cornea to change its focusing power. In this way, LASIK eye surgery can correct a wide range of refractive errors.
LASIK is a suitable procedure for correcting the most severe refractive errors."

Sounds gruesome, but if it means I don't keep having my glasses knocked into my face by my son, then all the better.

I have also checked on Wikipedia for the complications, and they still haven't put me off. So I will post again soon after the op to let you know how it's gone.

Didn't take long

New Job

Well that didn't take long, I must have a half decent CV as I have got a new job starting at the end of August.
So I don't mind advertising on here, all thanks to Leom at Pioneer Selection, who got the interview for me leading to the successful job.

What will I be doing? I am going to be a Field Service Engineer installing, servicing and commissioning Gas Analytical equipment into power plants in the UK and overseas. Really looking forward to it as it looks like an incredibley interesting job.
The company's name is Procal, smallish company but very respected. So things are going pretty well for me at the moment.
Will update again soon!

Movie Review - 28 weeks later

As I am now managing to get home at a reasonable time I can catch up on those DVD's that I have not yet seen, one of which was 28 weeks later.

As the title suggests the film starts 28 weeks after the RAGE virus has decimated London, and we see a group of survivors in a country cottage. A young boy turns up free of the virus, but with RAGE victims following him.

One of the occupants Don (Robert Carlye) escapes leaving his wife and the young boy to the fate of the infected.

We then move to a US military controlled London, and Dons kids are been shipped in both clean from the virus.

What follows is a rip-roaring blood fest and jumpy action across London and beyond, I wont spoil it to tell you how, but the virus is re-introduced, and in typical OTT response the US military have to wipe it out.

Got to say that the film relies more on effects than on the atmospheric 'scare' nature of the first film 28 days later, but it is still pretty enjoyable. Quite a few makes you jump moments, and some nasty gory stuff too, the helicoptor scene is a major example of this.

There are a few surprises as well in the film, and a few things that make you say "Oh, No Way!" but it still doesn't detract from the film itself, the musical score is also very powerful, especially the haunting melody running through the majority of it.

I think that a good tagline for the film could have been "Kiss of Death", but they went with something else.

So if you fancy a good fun film, watch it, just don't be like me and be too disappointed with the end. To me it ended too suddenly and in a rush.

Can you beat the Classics?

This is a question that is going to form part of my poll, it stems from my daughter watching "Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factory" before going to bed, that is the original one with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. She thinks(and she is 8) that it is the best one, because it is funnier and the songs are better. I have to agree, what's more it got me to thinking about these classic films that never lose their appeal whatever the decade they are seen in.

So how about these two;

I would say half the world must have seen these two films at one point or another and an awful lot of people remember the songs. Why? Because they actually meant something, were easy to follow and they were geniunely catchy tunes.

Can ANY film house improve on these or remake them? I doubt it.

Johnny Depp was a brilliant Willy Wonka, but the film relied to heavily on special effects, something the original had very little of, it relied more on the human factor.

Nanny Mcphee I suppose is a try at doing a Mary Poppins, but the 'magic' is just not there.

I geniunely believe that these are two films that could NEVER be remade, they simply cannot be improved upon, even with the actors of today.

I'd be very interested to know if you out there in the internet world wide web can think of any other truely classic films that can never again be repeated.

The Godfather 2 probably can, ET yep that can be done too, Star Wars? Compare the new films with the original trilogy = PANTS!

There are probably so many out there that I haven't covered, but these two really are timeless classics, that will never see the like again. Just don't forget to let your kids watch it, and then when they misbehave, threaten them with this;

Future not so bright

It's all gone Pete Tong!

No not the film, but the fact I am now officially being made redundant! I cannot say too much at the moment for obvious reasons, but am quite dissapointed.
Still life goes on and I am confident of finding a new job soon.
So if there are any companies out there that are interested in employing a well motivated, hard working electronics engineer, have a look at my CV on this Dave's CV.

Movie Review

The Golden Compass

OK, OK I know that this film has been out for quite a while now on DVD, but I got my first chance to watch it last week. Now it is classed as a family film, which in many respects it is, but there are lots of dark elements in it.

The story is based in a parallel universe, in which all the 'human' characters have their souls on the outside of their bodies in animal form. These souls are known as Demons for some reason or another. Lyra Belacqua ( Dakota Blue Ricards ) is unique among her kind for she is given an Alethiometer ( a golden compass that tells the truth) by her 'uncle Asreil' ( Daniel Craig ), her uniqueness is that she can read it.

The film follows Lyra to the kingdom of the Snow bears, where Lyra must rescue kidnapped children who are being used in evil experiments by the wonderfully wicked Mrs Coulter (Nicole Kidman).

Now the special effects in this film are pretty amazing, and I was blown away by the way the animal demons so closely followed the humans. The snow bears were awesome in effect, and the battle scenes very very well done.

All in all this is a very enjoyable movie, it may be hard for younger children to follow, but they wont care, as they will be too entranced by all the animals and fantasy elements. My 8 year old has seen it twice now, but still has loads of questions about why? and how?

However, one moment of the film TOTALLY ruined it for me, made all the previous spectacular special effects disappear into the ether, and made a joke of the word special effects. That moment was when Lyra is carried across the Ice by Iorek Byrnison the snow bear. Here's how it looks;

Imagine you get a large doll, like a tiny tears, or better still a cabbage patch doll, then tie it to the back of your dog, now get the dog to run around, then film the result. That is basically what Lyra on a snow bear looks like. I cannot describe how awful it is, and it was the ruination of a good film.

But taking that to one side I am still going to give it 4 stars!

Joke Time

A Rude Joke

Just thought I'd have a bit of a change and post a rude joke. Expect more to follow!

A posh hotel holds three weddings on the same day and at the end of the night the 3 grooms meet up at the bar to discuss the days events over a couple of shandy's. One questions the other two, "Listen, it's our wedding night and I was wondering - how many times are we expected to...um...you know.... do it?"

The other two look blankly at him, wondering if the usual 2 pumps and a squirt is enough, or if should they go for it twice, seeing as it is a special occasion. Eventually, they all decide to retire to their respective wives and see how the night goes, with the idea to meet up the following morning over breakfast to discuss what went on.

Suddenly one of the grooms pipes up, "Hold on lads, we can't discuss our first night marital goings on over the breakfast table with our new wives sat with us."

"No you're right. What we'll do then, is for every piece of toast we order with our breakfast, that'll be the amount times we did it" offers another groom.

They all decide it's an excellent idea and depart.

The next day in the hotel dining room, the grooms are all looking a bit dishevelled, but that's nothing compared to the brides, who can barely stagger across the room to their tables.

The waitress comes up to the first groom to take his order, "Hello, I'll have the full English breakfast with THREE pieces of toast please". The other two grooms smile at him and raise a glass of fresh orange in a toast to his fantastic prowess.

The waitress moves to the second couple, and the groom orders, "I too shall have the full English breakfast but could I have FOUR pieces of toast" The other two grooms turn to make pistols from their fingers to shoot a salute to the master swordsman.

The waitress gets to the last groom "I shall also have the full English breakfast please, yet I shall have..." he takes a deep breath "SEVEN, yes SEVEN PIECES OF TOAST" he calls for everyone's benefit whilst giving a big cheesy grin to his two wedding mates, who stare at him in disbelief at the thought how raw his poor corey must be.

"Seven pieces of toast sir?" queries the waitress. "Why, that's an awful lot"
"Yes indeed young lady, seven pieces of toast it is." She writes down his order and turns away, but before she can leave, the groom calls after her again

"And by the way love, can you make two of those brown?"

Movie Review

I am Legend

Starring: Will Smith & a Dog

Rating: 15

Firstly let me say that I am a big fan of Will Smith,and think that he is a very adapable actor, so I was really looking forward to watching it.

How wrong I was! This has to be the most boring wrung out film recently made. It was just SOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW!!!!

I can sum up the film and rewrite the script very easily.

Man and dog walk about an empty city in the daytime, but not in the dark because of dangerous things. He thinks he is the only sane person on the planet and is searching for a cure for the dangerous things. He then walks about and drives about some more, with his dog. Something else happens, so he walks and drives about a bit more. Then something else happens and the film ends.

Will and his dog sitting down after walking for a bit

There is some action in the film, but the CGI is so poor that it really is not believable one jot. Honestly it is that bad.

The film is based on the Omega Man, which was far, far better, more atmospheric and frankly better acted. Will Smith does his best, but if I was supposedly the last man on earth I don't think I'd be as sane as he was.

Example- he still had the nonce about him to work on an antidote to the virus that wiped out the human race! Yet next minute he was talking to mannequins, sorry but how unreal and unbelievable can you get?

I cannot express how disappointed I was with this film, if you want to see a film with someone driving about or walking around get a bad road movie.

Sorry Will, but you've made a right turkey here

Star Rating : *****

Things are looking up!

It's Good to Talk!

Glad that I have the opportunity to write finally, as there was a lot of negativity hanging around me the last time I wrote.
But all that has now lifted, and I am feeling a lot more confident and happy about the way ahead. What did it take? Well something that I am not proud of but something I felt needed doing, and that was an open letter to a director telling him of all my (as well as my colleagues) gripes and issues, and the way in which we felt. I have been made the spokesman for the engineers here, may be because I am not afraid to say things, and they got said propably a bit too strongly.

So if anyone who works at the same place as me is reading this, my sincere apologies for going about the 'issues' we had in the way I did.

But like I said this post is full of positiveness, for now I have a clear understanding of what sales are doing, what future products there are, where we stand as a company, and it makes me smile!

We now have a fragrance machine that can deliver fragrance in just about any venue you can think of, whereas before we were limited. We are developing a new portable unit that actually looks pretty smart, and our marketing is starting to take off as well.
To top it all last week we got our new uniforms - and very snazzy they are too!

So the future of Brandaroma is very rosy, I just hope that my over zealous letter does not have any repercussions as I am now looking very forward to all the work that will be coming our way.

So if you have a venue that stinks, give Brandaroma a ring and see what they can do for you!

Well I found Time!

Has it Really been that long???

Now I have let my blog slip quite a bit, but only because I have been in and out of the country for the last few weeks. Jersey, Poland, South Africa and Ireland. All over the last 4 weeks, thankfully I now have a little bit of time to play catch up.

So let me see, Jersey was not too bad but it was a case of catch the ferry in the morning at some ungodly hour (I think I was up at 3am), then do the job, (which I couldn't do as there was no electrics, despite the fact that the engineer who went 3 months earlier said all was ok and working, GIT!). After that I caught the ferry home, and stayed in a hotel in Weymouth overnight before finally getting back.

Next onto Poland, and a trouble shooting mission, another early start, but at least I got 40 winks on the plane - bloody SleezyJet again!!!

The job itself was pretty straight forward, and should have been done the way I did it from the start, but it was a Frenchman who initially carried it out - think it was a case of "NON!!! I will do it MY way, I do NOT have time to put up a shelf, and do it properly!" French GIT!

So they were happy when I left and it makes a nice change an English guy going to Poland rather than the Poles coming to England.

I also got to stay in the 5* Marriott hotel I was working in, here is a view from my room on the 31st floor.

So after Poland it was off to South Africa, another eary start? No not this time, but it was an overnight flight, 11 hours by South African Airlines. I think I managed to get about 4 or 5 hours kip though. Then on arrival I was met by a taxi driver and taken to the Hotel in Jo'burg where I was to stay. On the way I saw a massive Roller coaster that I was thinking of visiting should I get chance, it seemed to get closer and closer, and then the taxi pulled into the Gold Reef Theme Park, and I realised joy of Joys this was where my hotel was!

So this is the Roller Coaster;

My room was aptly named the Blacksmith room, simply because it had a bloody great forge in the middle of it, mind you it was a smart room!

The 2 days and three nights I was there were very busy, and horror of horrors I didn't get the chance to go on ONE ride, NOT ONE BLOODY RIDE!!!!!! Despite having complimentry access to them. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

As for Ireland, I will save that till next time.

Gotta go now Bosses checking up on me!

It never Rains......

Lots going on

Again I find myself with less and less time to update my blog. I had hoped I would be able to change the 'weekly' question by now. At this rate it is going to be turning into a yearly one!

Still like I said a lot of things have happened since the last writing. to sum up,

I have been away to Wales for the night.

Been given a notice of Redundancy.

Had my 42 birthday.

Seen my sisters for the first time in 2 years.

Oh and had a ball making a snowman with the kids

So like I said quite a bit going on, the Wales trip was a pain, as it turned out I didn't have to do that much really, but I must have some sort of reaction when I stay in Travel Lodges (The equivelent of a Days Inn in the States). When I stayed in one in Manchester I had to get evacuated as there was a gas smell, we finally got back into the hotel at aroung 1 in the morning. Then in Wales I was woken up by the fire alarm going off at 2:30am. This time it was a test of the alarms from the night club next door! Yeah great time to test lads!

The notice of Redundency was going, but it hasn't been fully implemented yet, as they are still unsure on the 1 person they want to get rid of, although everything points to yours truely.

42nd (god I feel old!) went without the hint of a party, but I did get myself a decent digital camera - Fuji Finepix 610, reduced from £299 to £60!

I saw my sister at my nans for 1/2 an hour after working, and my other sister and her new boyfriend at Easter, as she came to see me.

So that is pretty much that, hopefully I will be back to normal soon with some nice quizes and weekly questions...who knows???

Time at Last!

Keeping Busy!!!

Well I have finally managed to grab a bit of time and update my blog. Hard to believe that in my old job, I could update the blog twice a week. I did think I would be able to do it just as often with this new job, but well.... twas not to be.

Now I came back on Friday from one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in, the Marriott Jordan Valley, in Jordan.
Left the UK Wednesday 28th February, and got to the hotel at around 10:30pm. Luckily for me it was the very hotel I was installing the fragrance machines in. As I arrived late at night I didn't really get a chance to take in the fact that I was at the Lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea.
But the following morning, after spending a few hours (5 at the most!), getting the job done, I managed to get some pool time, and we are talking luxury here. The place had 4 resturaunts including a truely aythentic Italian. Now I absolutely love Italian food, so that was the perfect place to eat lunch.

The other surprising thing about Jordan though, is just how free it is, women don't have to cover up, the internet is unrestricted, and the mini-bar in my room was FULLY stocked with beer and spirits.
To top things of the weather was fab, such a pity then I had to get up at 3:30am to get to the Airport Friday morning!

Hopefully, I will post a couple of pictures soon to show some of the luxury I enjoyed!

Update

Back Again?!

Well have a little bit of time on my hands so thought I would just update a bit on the blog. It has been really hard recently to get any time to do it, but now work have given me a laptop, I should be able to update a little bit more.

Well Zurich was not as nice as I expected, people are OK, it's just the city is very bleak and industrialised, not anything like the Switzleland you see in the "Sound of Music"! Mind you I was only there overnight so I suppose I didn't get a chance to see much. It is however bloody expensive!

I am off to my mums for the night on Wednesday, as I have some work in Plymouth, which is around 1/2 an hour from her, well it is the way I drive anyway!

Tried Will's quiz, but don't think I did too well, I know some of them but others????
I am back down in my mums area in February (15th - 18th) as we are off on a free holiday, so that should be OK. The same week I have got an overnighter in Manchester, so hopefully I will be able to put together some sort of quiz for then, may be even a special Valentine one?!

Right am off now if you have some time try Will's quiz at Hilarity Ensues, its tough but good!

Cheers for now
