Well.. I've finally made it to my final day at VM. Just sat here trying to look slightly less like I'm just waiting to be let off home. I'd be planning the beer session for tonight but my body has given out on me and I'm full of the snottiest cold I've had in a good couple of years. Typical.. I'm right up for getting slaughted but dead where I'm sat.

Frankly I'd just be glad to get out of here. I need more meds and more sleep. Just feels strange to still be sat here, all I'm waiting on is my redundancy letter and I'm off..

Sorry to hear that man! My wifey's out on 1/31 next year, so I know where you are coming from.

Hope you feel better soon! Remember, alcohol does kill germs! It worked for me a few weeks ago!

If you hadn't quit drinking like a girl you are, you wouldn't be sick. /true

I had a fairly strong dose last night. Stupid ass got in at 2 something Am and had to be up at 6am.

I agree with Jef. The Llama has presented the facts.

@Anoobis - VM = VirginMedia (a.k.a. The useless hunk of crud cable company)

Well.. I just about managed to make it to 4pm on the last day. Staggered down the pub for a few scoops with the crew. I really was dying with that cold and only managed 4 pints before saying screw this and heading for home. Ended up crashing out at ~8pm on that Friday and just sleeping for 15 hours. Fair to say it all just caught up with me.. I'm pretty much back to health now. Managed to get a 25 mile ride in yesterday just to loosen up and blow the last of that snot all over passing cars. Quiet crimbo at the gaff free of family and all that stress.. Much my preference for how to spend crimbo.

This morning I had the joy of completing my JSA (thats Job Seakers Allowance to the septics) claim so I'll get a bit of state support whilst looking for some work, should also allow me to claim my rent which is good. Couple that with the savings and I'll be ok for a couple of months while I try and find something more interesting.

I can think of better ways of hitting the new year and my birthday but my stash tin is full and I've cleared all my debts so things could be a hell of a lot worse... Hell I could be Scouse!!!

he, job centre's are usualy looking for temp staff due to the goverment fiddling numbers, why not try them themselves. good luck anyway, i always hated signing on.

I figure that as the bastages took nearly 25% of my final payout signing on is just an alternate form of tax rebate..

Reply to pike

Please ignore the Jock. I once worked for them. I left on principal. My job was cooking the books for a, then new, ATO(Adult Training Organisation). I'd started as a part time dental health teacher and wound up managing the department a year later. It's embarrassing to admit, but I had to find a respectable job within a week or I wasn't getting bail on my next appearance. Much has changed in my life since those days, though I'll never work for those cnuts whatever happens.

There is a terrible reminder of those days. I hear there is still a picture of me dressed as toothbrush in a health centre in Runcorn. One day I'm going to get around to taking that down.

Reply to Tom_Smart

So far Tom I've seen you in yellow lycra, listened to your pissed singing, heard you were once a fudge packer and now that you were once a dancing toothbrush... You know how to make an impression don't you. What's the new year special going to be?? Admitting to being the fluffer on animal farm?

Reply to audiovoodoo

Who gives a fcuk what others think? You've still only heard less than half the stuff I've gotten up to.

Reply to Tom_Smart

I think we should offer this up as a drawing competition. Nobody really knows what you look like so lets get everybody to draw a picture of Mr Smart based of the mental images you have burned into our brains. Anybody fancy trying this one out on their non damaged child to see what they come up with?

Keyword for the artist to work on:

Yellow
Old
Dog
Thief
Scouse
Toothbrush
Fudge
Drunkard
Jaguar

And yes Riser I will accept entries produced using felt shapes.

Reply to audiovoodoo

I can hardly wait. Maybe someone who doesn't need felt shapes will actually remember the pic I posted of me fishing. But you go ahead, short term memory boy, and play with your crayons.

Reply to Tom_Smart

But how do we know that was you? I think it was just a stunt chunt.

Yes. Those were the pictures where Tom and Bomber both had hair.

There is a later one of him fishing a can of Stella out of a River from his Caravan holiday to the Lake District last year... I just fancied keeping Riser busy for an hour or two.

Yes, you got me. I have no life.

BTW, if someone with a "real life" (Riser) wanted to look, they would notice I made no posts between 12/27 and 1/2, as I wasn't at work, and I had stuff to do at home to prepare for parties and such.

But yes, my fake life sucks...
