You have probably seen this before but I had to put it on here as everytime I see it I can’t help but genuinely laugh my ass off…..

Enjoy!

Yesterday Koolaid for Beginners was officially 1 year old…YAY!!!!

I have enjoyed writing this and reading back over the past years events, many of which I had forgotten about already…..I also noticed that my grammar and spelling was and is as bad as ever…….I don’t expect this will change any time soon

So thank you for reading and lets see what the next year has in store…

Well what a two days that was…Snow is fun, snow is brilliant but I have to say it isn’t that fun working in it and trying to drive a 5 ton ambulance through knee deep snow….Ambulances were getting stuck all over the show and I even made the local paper when I got stuck

It is quite an interesting experience sliding sideways down hills, and not actually being able to do much about it but hang on and hope you don’t hit anything

Still I have to say I think the ambulance service did a sterling job and every call made was attended to and dealt with pretty well I reckon…

Here is what really made me laugh though……Last night was really quiet, and it was because there was a big tv and radio advertising campaign telling people not to call an ambulance unless it was a life threatening emergency……..(as if there is any other reason why you should be calling one!!!!!) But after people had been told this it was probably the quietest night shift I have done in years. If only people were that sensible about calling ambulances the whole year round.

Here comes the deep snow….apparently….

Guess who is working nights!!!!

Well hopefully 2010 should be a good year….My main resolution this year (as usual) is to get myself fit…I mean really fit….I mean able to run 10 miles without too much problem fit…..The only thing is it is hell getting to that point….

Last year I got to a point where I was able to run about 5 miles before it all sort of tailed off in the latter part of the year…This time I am going for double the distance.

I will also be giving up crisps and anyone who knows me will realise what a massive undertaking this is…Also I having my yearly January booze amnesty to give the liver time to sort itself out ready for the summer.

Carla and I are also going to try and do an interesting event (be it a play, a gig, or something of similar vein) at least once a month if not more so we have things to look forward to each month.

All in all what with it being a world cup year it should fingers crossed be a good twelve months..

Ok sorry this is a bit late but what with hangovers, work and various outings I haven’t had 5 minutes to myself.

So firstly there was new year…

This turned out to be a really good night….There was only about 10 of us but chaos ensued At midnight we did something I haven’t done since I was about ten years old which was run out into the street banging together pots and pans…..BRILLIANT!!

Then me and the men of the Carter family all travelled down to Craven Cottage to see Swindon play Fulham in the FA cup.

We lost 1-0 but that didn’t seem to really matter to much…It was a really nice day out and Swindon played well…..I even think if a certain Charlie Austin was playing the result may have been different.

So here is looking forward to a fun and healthy 2010 for everyone….

I now have a drill and a DIY book……

I have put A & E on standby……

So that was a really nice Christmas…..

Work on Christmas day was relatively stress free with very few jobs, which is always a nice thing at Christmas…I then came home to a lovely Christmas dinner made by my mother in law and microwaved by Carla and then proceeded to get very very drunk with some lovely lovely people till about 3am…..All in all a Christmas night exactly as it should be…

Then boxing day we went over to Carla’s mum and dads for a gorgeous turkey curry and a laze around watching some football….All in all ezactly how a boxing day should be…

Then the next night my mum and dad came over for dinner…It is always nice to have them over and spend time in their company so once again a really enjoyable evening….I also rediscovered my love of lemon meringue pie. All in all…..well you get the idea…

Then last night we went over to my uncle Brian’s (a little late due to me finishing work late) to see all the family…The men sat and talked about football while the women it seemed sat and and talked about the possibility that I may have once a long time ago been asked to leave a job….I still maintain I wasn’t sacked as I was being made redundant anyway…..It was nice to see all the members of my family though and Sarah I hope you get over your cold soon…There was a moment when it looked like the Daily Fascist argument would rear its head but it was quickly glossed over….But if yuo do one thing in 2010 make sure its that you DON’T BUY THAT PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A PAPER….hehe

I have a night shift tonight and then new year should be a relatively quiet affair with just a few friends……

Merry Christmas everyone..I hope you all have a happy, healthy and fun Christmas day….

Well what a weekend that was…..Where shall I begin.

Ok firstly on saturday Swindon won again!!! We are now in the play offs with two games in hand…and Charlie Austin scored his 5th goal in 5 games…Now I am really starting to get optimistic which is always a bad thing when you are a Swindon fan.

Then we went out for our annual Christmas meal with friends..Once again it was a lovely evening spent drinking, eating, catching up and wearing turkeys on our head after falling for a shameful but inspired marketing campaign..We didn’t get in till about 2am but it was a really nice night.

Then on Sunday we got to see Stu and family and it is amazing how nice it is doing simple things such as playing hide and seek with Millie, or just watching her going about in her own little world.  Tiring but as an uncle I get that glorious moment whenyou hand back over responsibility and go back to your quiet life

Then we went to Carla’s family for a lovely tea made by her mum, got to see some of her family and NEARLY watched Chelsea lose…

Then off to the Victoria in old town for their annual Christmas quiz which has been won by the same team for the last 5 years or so…Well not this year as we were victorious……Ending their five year reign of terror on the quiz….HOORAY!!!

Then it only went and bloody snowed….Could this weekend get any better???

Oh and I was reading my uncle Grahams blog and he said on there that he had never heard THE 2009 CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE that beaten the insepid crap being spewed forth by Simon Cowell…. so just for him I have included it below in all its glory (oh and I wouldn’t really call it heavy metal)..Just to warn those of a sensitive nature some language you wouldn’t want your kids to hear is included in the song…So enjoy the Christmas number one
