'Satan is a big fat liar'

what did he promise ya steve?

I'm in work today. One of our bosses left his wife and 3 kids over christmas for some office strumpet. She's in his room now, I can see them through the glass partition. She's leaning over his desk showing her cleavage.

She's about 29 he's in early 40's. He's had new trendy haircut and is wearing skinny jeans and the latest trainers. He's usually suited and booted.

In a few weeks his wife will hit the anger stage. I can't wait. Lets see how he handles that. This is the man in charge of our destiny. Its not looking good!

This is a shacknet exclusive, I'd never post this on facebook as half of work would be reading it. People who blank me in the corridor want to be my friend on facebook, how strange.

Meanwhile out the window, the Mersey is like a mill pond, the ferry just going by, nobody on it. Liverpool shrouded in mist.

Having friends a few friends round tonight for new year. Got 80's karaoke in for the x-box. My mate and his mrs rang to ask if it was fancy dress, I lied and said it was. Should be an interesting night.

Hate facebook & am always going on to one of me oldest friends to just email instead (he's in N Zealand).

He was home a few months back & called round the house at tea time one evening & I was on the lap top. "On face book as usual" he said, to which I replied "Yea,& at this moment I am in a bar drinking & doing coke with 2 young girls from work, & we are going back to their place soon to continue the party"!

Sums up my feelings about it, a bullshitters' paradise.

[go-between]

Finishing work at 3. Time is dragging today. Got to get home and tidy up and help sort out food and drinks and get the kids bathed before guests arrive tonight. Feet havent touched the ground this christmas. The whole thing has flown.

Spooky mist still hanging over the river. Tick tock tick tock come on!

Would like to just sit with me feet up now and play a few tunes on the acoustic. Bought Dave Jacksons album but havent had time to listen yet. At least we've got a nice long weekend to recover and hopefully I can get some quality time in with the guitar and a decent bottle of red.

I've been doing a bit of English tutoring since I started my new job to bring in some extra money. One of my students is re-sitting an A level English exam on 17th January. She lives with her parents in a big Victorian terrace directly facing the North Sea at Cullercoats. The house is wonderful, full of antiques and beautiful paintings. We work at a huge dining table in the front room, with the huge windows providing a picture-perfect view of the horizon. Her mum brings us tea in a silver pot and china tea cups. I help her with Hardy poetry and Joyce's 'Dubliners'. She is really bright and doesn't have that aloofness that so many other 18 year olds seem to have. She is open and friendly, and interested in her work. How she failed the first time round is beyond me, as she points out things in the poetry that I hadn't seen before.

This all seemed like a scene from a film. When I had finished I had a brief stroll down the misty sea front, listening to The Clientele on my ipod. I was full of daydreams as usual. It was a pretty weird afternoon.

hahahaha....Nice one Nick...

"Nick, Assonance means getting the rhyme wrong."

[nutley]

Assonance did crop up today, strangely enough. They don't teach kids poetic structure of form properly in this day and age. Bloody disgrace. Now where's my drink?

[go-between]

Last night was good. Was worried it would be a nightmare. We've never done karaoke before but everyone was suprisingly up for it. Hits of the 80's. My mate doing Ultravox 'Vienna' was...painful! Still it made the night tick along.
Outside at midnight for what seems to have become the obligatory chinese laterns. Next doors one got stuck in a neighbours tree and the excitement of watching someone elses garden or house on fire bought a rosy glow to everyones cheeks.

Was looking at the neighbours kids and thinking if we all started sing 'auld lang syne' now they'd look at us in disbelief. When I was a kid all the neighbours gathered in the street in a circle for that song. My Nan & Grandad had to let the new year in first and they always bought a piece of coal in. Does anyone else do this? Are these old (or auld) traditions dying off?

I don't even know who our neighbours are in our road. My best friends are strangers on the internet. How strange.

Anyway, as I down the last of the port and smoke the final christmas cigar here's to you all, happy new year and gawd bless everyone.

[nutley]

Coal is a north western thing I'm sure Paul because as kids we used to do that. And 'first footing' seems to be what you're talking about with your grandparents.

On my street we are good friends with about 4 households, mainly because we don't have proper gardens and in the summer we have communal barbies and drinks in the 'back lane'. It sounds odd but is a rare example of community spirit. We all chip in to these events. The kids love them. We just spontaneously went to the pub at lunchtime today. The dads played pool, the mums nattered etc. We are all really different but who gives a shit? None of them are cnuts, but one guy and I have become close friends. He is 62, I'm 40 but we get on great. He likes his tunes, his red wine and his whiskey, which probably explains it!

Just watched Independence Day on the telly, I love a good cheese fest.
Going for a picnic tomorrow, butties made with homemade bread and a flask of tea following a big stomp up one of our "mountains" will be a great start to the New Year - I turn 40 in August and I'm determined to be able to do a lot more physically by then than I can now, I've been really lazy since the operation, I think I've been using my recovery time as an excuse to not just get up off me arse and do stuff and now I feel worse than ever. I'm hoping for a good 2011, while there were lots of good times in 2010 there were too many shit ones and on balance I'm glad to see the back of it.

Absolutely no need whatsoever Dean. Ha ha ha...

I've got that kind of 'don't know what to do with myself' feeling. I've started making lists of things I want to do this year, jobs that need doing on the house, things I want to do with the kids, and other random stuff, but I feel I can't get on with it until I'm back to work on tuesday and life reverts to some form of normality. I've never made a list of anything before, not even a shopping list, whereas Lou will make a list of lists she wants to make, always doing it. I'm hoping that by making a list and ticking things off I will actually achieve more than if I didn't make the list. Hmmm.

Nick said she was aged 18, not size 18.
