Sheffield floods


So how bad was it? Dunno, i was in Egypt. But heres the BBC news coverage of it - link

But this isnt the first time this kind of thing has happened...link 2

Sad to hear of the deaths, and i believe there are still people in Yorkshire homeless. I hope it all gets sorted soon.

In the meantime, im just grateful i live on a hill...

Bloody shift!!!

Got a new pet hate.

You go to your super market. You rush to get everything on the belt so you can get round and be ready for the checkout girl launching your stuff at 100 mph down the other side. You put the last bit on as the woman in front pays. Then she stands there messing with her purse, so you cant get past, and sure enough, there goes all your food straight down the belt.

seriously people, youve had your turn. get out of my bloody way!!!

In other news...




Sheffields largest nightclub burned to the ground last night. Not many details yet, but ill add as more gets released.




Clip from NME here




I never went, plenty of people told me it was a great night out. Always sad to see landmarks for a generation disappear...

2 days to go


I hate packing. It sucks. Waste of time and effort, when i could fill that case with beer. Oh well. Fortunatly, iv got the missus to pack for me, mainly because i apparently do a crap job of it. How do you do a crap job of putting clothes in a case? Is it some women thing i dont understand? Are there other men out there that have the same thing?


Im told its to do with something called "multi-tasking", and men are apparently useless at it. Nonsense. Im typing and thinking at the same time. Thats not multi-tasking? Oh right...


Work was a waste of oxygen and 24 hours today - I wonder if theres any point sticking my CV on monster. Then i realise ill probably get a job offer from my current employers, and thatll be tough to talk my way out of.


Fed up. Need a pick me up. Off to play footy. If we lose, the PC could get smashed. If we win, ill love Northern Mutterings....for another few hours at least.


Heres a picture of a suitcase, something to look at. Which is another thought. The worst thing about holidays? Finding your case. No wonder so many people buy outrageous colour cases, theres nothing worse than watching 300 cases go round the conveyor, fighting your way to the front, only to either pick up the wrong one, or watch someone pick up yours.


Tips, anyone?
