Steaks for Breakfast

What a wonderful Idea was had last week when I awoke last Sunday morning to eat prime steaks for breakfast....yum yum yum

Just a one nil at home

Just a one nil at home for Liverpool today against Man City, as usual it seems we made them look good, but still scraped a home win.....having the problems away from home only in the premiership despite us looking great in the Champions League.....such a strange season....

Went into Belfast and the continental market, it was great....I got a bag of german sausages and salami....for £10....there was loads of stuff in there....If you are in the city centre go and check it out. Its great altogether.

Michael Stone was on the rampage yesterday, his mullet gone now but he's still a dangerous character with a gun and knife....attempting to take stormont by force. The main talk at the moment is that the DUP staged the affair to avoid having to make a nomination for first minister.....and the pantomine of Northern Irish politics rolls on.

Feckin November already

Its the 24th November and Xmas and all the brokedness that it brings has just crept up on us again. Last time I remember thinking sure thats Holloween isn't it, as it just passed me by as a haze of rockets and people getting blitzed wearing pumpkin shoes....but now It's bloody Christmas (can't abide Xmas)....

So, this month I will be mostly cursing at the cold rain (cause it is feckin cold and rain like) and counting up the money I don't have while looking forward to shite tv....but on the bright side a few days off and big dinners bejaysis....and spending a bit longer at home....

A few days later

Sorry to harp on, but Got back on Sunday and found that the NTL box was still not working, had to ring them last night and now today they are sending over a technician. Isn't that typical, new cable set up and within 24 hours there was a problem....So, i suppose i should be typing this in a blog as inevitably, it will likely break down again.

On another note, had to watch a pitiful Liverpool at the weekend....I have never seen them be so over-run by the Arsenal in a game....its not yet getting better...its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so we can maybe put this season down to solidifying our team and allowing a few new players to bed in before a heavier assault next season. Losing so many away games is a complete disaster....and fans are showing their dissoultion for the first time since Houllier.

Ray Mears in the morning

I was like Ray Mears this morning, went to go into the kitchen only to find the door was blocked by something behind it. The only other way in was through the big balcony door and I needed a ladder for that (I live on the 3rd Floor)....So I had to use my survival instinct. A piece of cardboard under the door helped me move the object enough so that I could get something through to push it out of the way and hey presto.....here i am in the kitchen willing the NTL to work, as its doing some Tuning thing......might have broken the thing already......mumble....maybe forced to read a book or something....

Signed up the NTL hell again

After 4 weeks of only 4 channels on the television and only internet in work, I succumed to NTL and its ever unreliable service, god help me if anything actually goes right.

Even yesterday the technician said in response to something not going right 'Sure its NTL remember'...so that surely explains things anyway. Its crazy how important the internet is now, when we didn't have it it was really fustrating, especially when buying furniture and things for the house...I could only buy at work...at lunchtime.

But, now its back I have a smile from ear to ear.

New Flat taken all the writing thoughts away

Haven't been writing for a while, in fact looking at this blog its been since July, and heck....thats a long bloody time. I can safely say I haven't done anything too exciting in that time, apart from incurr a Mortgage, first proper month of it now, coping okay and fail my driving test again. Now, my main goals are to do finish the tiling in a bathroom, buy a huge bookshelf and writing table and lino the bathroom floor and then pass first my theory test again (I know, it was two years to do two practical tests...god)...and finally put some pictures up on the wall.

Its strange how sitting in the house in the evenings looking out at the dark and falling into television land sucks away your creativity......I'm attempting to jump start myself at the moment but I think my brain needs that table before I can really feel ready. Then it'll be a special pen.
