What a couple of days!

Right, it’s been a while, so I’ll do a little update on what’s been happening on this side of the pond recently.
First off, we had snow. Proper snow. In places, around a foot of it laid. That NEVER happens here. Love it. Although, it is, unfortunately, a week too early for a proper white Christmas, [...]

Recsusitation

The blog seems to be a little bit dead, so I thought I’d perk it up with some excitement.
I don’t know how exciting telling you about my illness can be, so I’ll probably avoid that subject. It’s only man-flu, anyway.
Moving on, I have entered a pool tournament covering Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Berkshire, Hampshire and Greater [...]

A challenge. (Today)

I have been informed that I MUST blog twice in the next twenty minutes, so here goes.
Today, I had college. The 7am lie-in a wonderful one, despite not getting to sleep until around half past 2. It was a good day actually, my favourite lecturer came back after 3 weeks paternity leave, after the premature [...]

Call Me

Quite a day. It was a bit dull, to be honest, but very busy.
I fitted lights and then stripped…cables.
We haven’t wired the lights yet, just fitted them.
For instance, grid ceilings: Fitting the bulbs and bonding the wires so they don’t touch the metal grid. If wires do touch that grid, they could make the ceiling [...]

Whaaa?

Erm…I suppose I’d like to start this blog by welcoming our new bloggers, whoever they may be.
You get really busy, and don’t have time to blog for awhile and look what happens!
Oh well, anyway, I thought it was time for an update on my life.
I’m still an apprentice electrician, and I’m getting pretty bloody good [...]

I never imagined it would happen.

Good evening/morning, blogosphere.
What a week, eh? New job. Phoned my new employer up; “When am I being picked up?” “5:30am” “What?!?!”
Got home at 6. Every day apart from Thursdays – college days. And those are short days. This is going to kill me.
At least I’ll have a career soon. Am I ready for that? Fuck [...]

An apology.

Hello readers.
My apologies, as I have not blogged in far too long. I promise you all that I will write an uber-blog when I get the chance, but as I am having a great time in Hungary, I can’t. Sorry!
Dan.
P.S. Snow Patrol live are fucking amazing. And I love you.

When You Are Near…

My heartbeat slowed, my heart sank as she shut the door. And all I had done was given her a lift home.
Am I falling?
Bugger.
Dan.

Sing a sad song, in a lonely place…

Life is a thoroughly underwhelming experience, isn’t it?
You’re cruising along, about 16, and you think everything’s going to be amazing. ‘I’m never going to let life just pass me by, I’m going to do amazing things!’. And yet, here I am, typing away to probably about 3 people about how mundane everything is.
Like getting a [...]

The boat certainly rocks!

I have just been to see ‘The Boat that Rocked’. Oh my word, that is a superb film. In fact, I worry slightly that by the end of this blog I may have run out of superlatives – but we’ll see.
The cast is fantastic – especially, in my very biased opinion, the casting of Rhys [...]
