    My Dad's retiring this year, and fair play to him has just booked the whole family (Mam, Dad, me, my girlfriend, 2 brothers and wives and 4 kids) into a villa in Majorca in August, won't take any cash for it the stubborn old git!

    It's probably 20 years since our last family holiday and I can't wait to get out there, place looks stunning and a great gesture by him and my Mam. I'm hoping that I'm in a position (and them) financially to return the favour when I'm a proper grown up-10/15 years should be about right!

    Yeah... sounds good.

    Parents don't expect stuff back from their kids... and that makes it all the more special when it happens.

    I don't like Poxhalls but at least I haven't had to spend a lot of money, and that's one more thing the bastards can't get me for

    Phillip, now is the time to come to realise you simply need to give a Chav £20 and a bottle of petrol (he/she will have a lighter), the keys, walk away, collect on it, and buy a Toyota.

    Well I've had a rough few days, but I have an idea for a band that I've been nursing for a few days as well, and I'm gonna put it into action.

    And yes, the green Fruit Pastilles are the best.

    WAY COOL

    We have a weighbridge site on test, it's out in the sticks. I established a VPN connection from the windoze machine on my desk, and remote logged in via putty to the linux machine that controls the site hardware. I can read device status from here and even set barriers to go up or down :)

    Like I said, WAY COOL

    Take that CP Plus!

    I got a parking fine from these cowboys from an incident last September.

    I was in a hire car (booked through work) that had a flat on the motorway, luckily I was right by the slip-road for the Stafford services on the M6 so I pulled into the services.

    The hire car didn't have a spare wheel so I had to contact the hire company and they eventually sent out a local tyre fitter.

    All that took about 3 hours, so of course my number plate got logged by the cameras in and out and I was over the parking limit, hence the fine.

    Anyway my appeal has been upheld and the fine cancelled!

    I am a little bit proud of myself. Even though I was on company business any fines would have been down to me as an individual to pay (it was £50 plus a £27 administration fee!)

    I took photos of the tyre, and the repair van when it arrived, all time stamped and with the car reg in the photo, fully expecting this to happen so I made sure I had proof to back up my story. Not sure if they would have cancelled it otherwise.

    I've finally made up my mind, and without burning any bridges or making a scene (apart from on here :D) I'm letting go of one particular person I really didn't need in my life, despite thinking I did for a good couple of months. Onwards and upwards from now on, forever. Now to find new people who don't treat me like shit and who realise what I have to give.

    Because I'm sod-buggering well worth it.

    @Bucket I'd leave those who don't support you when the chips are down behind, and stick with those who do.

    It's often said you have 5 real friends through your life, let them come to you. They'll be there because they WANT to be there. I found this shit out the hard way.

    Wisdom awarded. As I said in an earlier post, friends that treat you like shit aren't actually friends. Make yourself feel better in the meantime with healthy doses of meaningful casual sex. ;)

    After trying for ages, I've finally got size 34 trousers to fit, without being excessively tight.

    Yay.

    Just booked my flights for a mates stag-do in Hamburg in May this year, flights to Thailand with my girlfriend (who paid for the flights) flying out on 28th December for a couple weeks.

    This is on top of the villa in Majorca that my Dad has paid for in August....Pretty good year of holidays for this year to be honest-A stag do, a family one, and one with the Mrs...and I've not paid for a fraction of it-which is nice!
