7 52 am 1 comments wednesday september 24 2008 smokers outside the hospital doors been a bit remiss of recent mumsy s been in hospital for the past week originally having suffered a mild stroke she seems to have recovered from this quite quickly but whilst in hospital she decided to get up on her tod to go to the loo in the middle of the night and had a fall and broke her arm under her shoulder needless to say we got a call to notify us of this at 2 30 am which naturally freaked thewife of course this kind of break can t be put into a cast it has to heel in a sling which for the first few days mumsy has managed to pull her arm out of thewife has now put the fear of god into her that unless she keeps it in the sling it will take longer to heel and longer for her to get home needless to say with visiting times etc we don t have a great deal of time to do things like blog for example today i have the relative luxury of a day s strike action to catch up with stuff then a long weekend beckons at the end of which we shall be trotting along to see the doyen of folk protest music joan baez which we are immensely looking forward to editors labels aaarghh posted by timesnewroman at 9 00

tablespoon of oil and these babies come out at the end of the cooking process every bit as good as deep fried but without the saturated fat horrible lingering fat frier smell hazar of fire etc etc far superior to your oven chips to boot we love it on wednesday we had the switch on of the large hadron collider at cern the world didn t end but if it had done killie would have been joint top of the spl way to go we had a meeting on wednesday afternoon and we decided to have an lhc theme to relieve the boredom i succesfully managed to incoroprate large hadron collider into my feedback of a workshop session and was kindly presented with the following drawing as a token for my effort labels chips with everything posted by timesnewroman at 1 36 pm 0 comments sunday august 31 2008 older and wiser been away again on the costa blanca celebrating a biggish birthday great relaxing in the warm sunshine with good food booze and company far too short if the truth were to be told then i return to this rather pleasant viewing labels too short posted by timesnewroman at 10 50 am 0 comments wednesday august 20 2008 out i am out on strike today a 1 day strike in action against the employers derisory cost of living offer of 2 5 fixed for 3 years effectively its a wage cut given the spiralling cost of living and the credit crunch and the impending doom facing the whole planet you d think the governments of the uk and scotland might want to have a few hundred thousand workers on their side but their you go quite what one day of action is going to achieve though is difficult to gauge call me a cynical bastard but my guess is that the savings from today and possibly a further 2 day show of solidarity in the future will contribute to an increase that will be accepted labels strike posted by timesnewroman at 11 42 am 1 comments sunday august 17 2008 hiatus over i m back been a while been busy very busy since that post below we went to paris for a weekend stripped out a kitchen built a kitchen got a new motor went to london for a week had rediski and boy up for a few days although we had to go camping in the rain and therefore left them to their own devices and am now preparing to go to spain next saturday for a week on account of i m going to be old ish we also caught that gig below with reidski which greatly exceeded my meagre expectations we thought we were going to get the entirety of surrealistic pillow which in fact we didn t we did however get a marvellous night of entertainment where they played huge chunks of it and also huge chunks of loads of my other favourite jefferson stuff we had the most amazing vantage point standing just next to the monitors directly in front of paul kantner thewife thought he was shorter than he used to be i dunno though the last time i saw them was an eternity ago at knebworth and i was so far back i have no idea how big he was anyways him and david freiberg and indeed the rest of the band were absolutely spot on still politically sound as fuck loved it i loved to the rest of our london sojourn which included much dining out and in we had a marvellous 5 course meal at the tate britain late at the tate night with father bell partner jo and their incredibly convivial and funny brazillian and czech friends 5 courses 5 different wines great night indeed we also went to thomasina miers wahacca which was both incredibly inexpensive and incredibly good with jane and reidski all that and a couple of trips to borough market thrown in for good measure also there s been the start of the football season and a last minute season ticket purchase which on evidence of the first game may prove to be a sound investment labels busy busy busy posted by timesnewroman at 11 36 am 2 comments saturday may 31 2008 possibly the greatest event of the 21st century so far no this is not the jefferson starship complex history here that made we built this city this is the paul kantner version who are playing two gigs in london the first of which will feature a set consisting of the greatest album ever recorded plus some from the band who recorded the greatest guitar album ever recorded how good could this possibly be i did see the original jefferson starship mk1 at the knobworth festival in 1978 grace slick was missing from the lineup i was disappointed the sound where we were was attrocious although i believe this might have been down to borrowed equipment and the people i was with mostly knobheads apart from my mate bobby weren t interested in moving to a better location and needing the lift home i was afraid of losing them labels gigs warm and fuzzy wonderful posted by timesnewroman at 10 47 am 0 comments friday may 23 2008 which way is damascus i m now totally in favour of an independent scotland i haven t been this way inclined since i was 14 and naive however if the english electorate are stupid enough to forget what a shower of cunts the tories are then this time they can reap the harvest of shit and suffering themselves it still doesn t mean i would vote snp though but in a referendum a definite yes would be the cross i would place labels aaarghh posted by timesnewroman at 9 22 am 1 comments thursday may 15 2008 god not that there is one is bad if undiluted determination was a major factor needed to make a promotion winning side then we have no fears in prague tribute to then kilmarnock manager tommy burns who brought us good times before tb we languished in the depths and depravity of the lower reaches of scottish football a once proud club slumming it with the likes of the blue brazil and the red lichties a nice day out but hardly top quality football then tommy burns arrived from celtic i hesitate to say fresh but he was certainly a breath of fresh air when it came to skill and ability his legs may have been past their prime but his keen footballing brain was still there we started to see the change gradually he would pass the ball and it woul d reach its intended recipient he could do really clever things like put the ball in the net he became player manager and you could feel the belief you could touch it even we knew it was only a matter of time before we went up into the first division and then into the premier league in 1992 first game away to rangers at ibrox as promoted new boys where rangers had been unbeaten in 17 months we won 2 1 i thought the joy of promotion was pretty good but to be honest other than winning the scottish cup this was possibly my most memorable football match ever tommy left as we all knew he would eventually to become manager of his beloved celtic a tad too quickly i reckon i always thought he should have honed his managerial skills a bit longer with us in retrospect though you knew that if a chance like that came along he was always going to jump at it for that i called him a judas which looking back on it was stupid unfair and infantile but last week that was me this week i am deeply saddened by his demise a truly lovely bloke who should have been around for a while yet who brought me so many joyous memories cheers tb i was also deeply impressed by the respect shown by the team coming back from manchester who cancelled their bus tour of the city as a mark of respect tommy a fairly devout catholic constantly would say in interviews if things had gone well that god is good labels sad posted by

and quotes the example of how he was wanting her to get him a computer game but that he had the money saved up for it whereas her elder son would probably have expected her to pay for it given that the media was awash with grand theft auto i had to ask and yes that was the game her 15 year old was trying to get hold of you know its an 18 we say yes but all his friends have got it its about stealing cars she then went on to say that there were some games though that she just wouldn t allow in the house at that point i went into a fit of hysterical laughter for at least 10 minutes wondering what on earth could be higher tariff for censorsip than grand theft auto when the apprentice who has gta vice city explains the game content she s mortified her son already has that she thought it was like crocker and tubbs in miami vice the vice city wasn t therefore a clue fortunately she hasn t been able to track down a copy and will be having a discussion with her son re the

saturday april 12 2008 the impossible dream fuck me posted by timesnewroman at 5 34 pm 1 comments sunday april 06 2008 help needed from techy peope been looking to replace my bulky ageing hi fi system with something a tad more discrete and modern i had been kinda hoping to get one of these buggers but its a wee bitty dear and in any case it looks like they are getting rid of this model and replacing it with a more expensive version the rationale as well as wanting a new hi fi basically is to get shot of 2 ikea towers of cds which takes up a lot of space over and above that taken up by the hi fi so something with a hard drive that could hold them all would be good then i noticed that philips seem to do a scaled down version with a hard drive as well which is a bit cheaper but then i got to thinking if i could get a laptop for the same sort of price would that not be just as good hooked up to a cinerama style speaker set up it could also double up as a direct link from laptop to tv for bbc s iplayer and downloads our hearing isn t getting any better as we age so sound quality isn t as high a priority as it might have been once so any advice you can offer would be welcome

the best time to call mumsy the wife told him almost anytime but that she would tell her to expect the call she asked her yesterday if he had called yet and mumsy said not but that there were 2 women at the door quite late on saturday night thewife thought this a bit odd but went round to check on mumsy just in case she d let anyone in that she shouldn t have things seemed okay but thewife mentioned it to a policeman we know at the annual waterside barbecue he advised reporting it at the police station which she did today we dropped in on mumsy this afternoon with some groceries and thewife told her she had reported saturday night s visitation to the police mumsy now mentions that one of the women was collette a neighbour thewife then pops over to speak to collette it turns out
