General life rant ;-)

Hello there these are getting further apart I do apologise but I've been occupied with things but hey ho here I am ;-).
Well I would first like to start on this horrible situation in Boston where it turns out that three people have been killed and that includes a child, now everyone who died in that act of terrorism is a very sad loss to someone;-(, but the loss of a child just adds a dimension WTF how the hell can any cause, religion, or wrong doing to yourself your party or your faith warrant or justify such a cowardly faceless act of mindless death,it truly is awful
Having listened to radio reports today I'm not to sure if they are going to find the people responsible ;-( but what I find most disturbing is that they have chosen such an event that is so hard to police!! I mean how the hell do you police a 26.2 mile area and be totally sure that every mile is secure ;-( it's impossible. I also think whoever did this was so malicious that they put it where it would do maximum damage at the finish line, now I've been at my fair share of these events and they are such a great occasion the buzz and just the general atmosphere is amazing so they really caught people off guard very very sad and I hope whoever is responsible for this dies such a horrible death it's untrue.
Anyhoo in other news my friend returned from Australia this week after a turbulent time of indecision and indirection but after emails of advice and just general life advice I think she has finally found a direction she wants to go in which is cool ;-) she has had a rough time in the last few years but after a second visit to oz I think she has finally realised that if you can't be happy 25.000 miles away then you really have to look at what the problem is and not chase imaginary rainbows ;-) sometimes you have to make the rainbow because it sure ain't gonna come looking for you ;-) so it's a good end for a nice person x;-)
Work is becoming even more of a chore now ;-( here are far to many miserable knobs in there now and they are bringing me down with here can't be assed attitude these tools have had It easy for far to long and for want of a better phrase they don't like it up em and I'm gonna shoot from the lip here because as you know I am very shy and don't like to speak my mind ;-) but if it carries on the way it is with the petty childish I'm not talking to you attitude!! I will put them on there asses my tether is finally reached and the day I forget my iPod is the day I can here the bullshit and fists will fly ;-) just saying like
Apart from that life is good just my belief in humans an there intent to want to hurt each other makes me think long and hard but eh I ain't got no complaints ;-)
Right I will leave you with three good things and a wick

Three good things
(1) friend back from oz
(2) snowdonia half marathon
(3) sunshine ;-)
The wick thing
(1) human nature and how we are intent on killing each other and the world ;-)

I bid you toodles
Dave rockin ;-) xxx

Holidays and the bad impression ;-)

Hey there bloggers I've been a busy boy the past week or so! So I haven't had time to sit down and blog and to be honest I've been working to the point where I haven't really done anything outstanding, although the holidays are booked for this year which is very exciting ;-) now I know what your thinking "but haven't you been away this year" hell yeah I have but I'm gonna be greedy and squeeze in another two woo hoo ;-).
So where? you ask well, in June where gonna do the costa del sol thing we did last year, because it was such a great place where doing it again (can't wait) and in September we are going back to NYC for a third time but this time we are going with my sister and my niece for our 40ths so that will ad an extra element to it which is all good;-) plus wifey won't just have me to talk to ha ha.
So as you can tell I have a few things to focus on this year which is cool, plus we do have a very important wedding to go to so it is going to be a memorable year,I may have to do a year in pictures ;-) but then again I may spare you we will see.
Anyhoo as I said there's not much this week but I will put a record straight that needs putting straight and its to do with what people call (the white van man) which I might add is what I'm classed as. Now if you don't know what I mean we are classed as speeding,reckless,pie eating red top paper reading abusive overweight Neanderthals that have the intellect of an oxygen starved goldfish having a fit in the desert!!! and do you know what they are right (in many cases) ;-) but just let me put you in the position of my average day it all starts at 8am where you load on all your drops for the day so it's scanners on, keys in the ignition and go, but meanwhile you will have extra jobs added to your day which can add pressure to what sometimes can be a hectic day ( get the picture)
Now add to that most times your on a deadline so there's not much time for faffing about BUT and here's the but we have to deal with traffic, nasty people who are intent on killing us with there lack of road sense (but we get blamed ) then you have got eyes on the road and eyes on the speeding cameras while keeping an eye on the changing road conditions while looking out for pedestrians and crazy drivers the then when you get to your destination you find there's no parking and the designating delivery spaces are taken up by the disabled ;-( who can park anywhere they like but choose our spaces (fury) so we take a chance and park on double yellows in the faint hope that miss traffic warden is having a pee at that precise moment and you will get away with it! but no as you move away its like a Swiss clock, they come round the corner and then it's the end of the world because me being there for 2 minuets is going to start a nuclear war in north Korea (wait hang on ?????) but in all seriousness that can be one drop of 40 so in a final word next time you see mr white van man and his eagerness to get passed get parked and do his job !!! Just remember what he has to do to get your stuff delivered so give him a break eh.
Anyhoo I shall leave you with three good things and wick

Three good things
(1) holidays booked
(2) new treadmill
(3) white van man

Wick thing
(1) traffic wardens with no diplomacy or common sense or general discretion ;-)

Wanna know more eh ;-)

Hey there blogger nerds I have had some feedback on my blogs which is cool but apparently people want to know more about what I think! Apparently religion, people, music, and other general day to day stuff which is all good and I shall do my best! by the way these are my opinions and are neither right or wrong ;-)
Now then
RELIGION mmmm i have never been religious as a rule despite being in a Church of England school and as head chorister in the church choir up till I was about 15, but as I am getting older and I suppose life experience of death and general people behaviour, I do lean towards the fact that there is no God, but I would like to think that life is precious and we do have a soul I'm just not sure it's in the hands of one being? and I find that people who have such faith in a book written 2000 plus years ago by various unknown story tellers quite disturbing!!
Now don't get me wrong I do think the bible has a good set of guidelines to live by but the fact we have had scandal of sex offending priests, vickers, and the people of the church! I do wonder what bible they read from!! that makes them do what they do, to top it off it is covered up, hidden, and denied by the church? which if I was a follower I would lose my faith in these so called trusted people, but no they will follow like the sheep they are (So Dave where Is your faith) mmmm I did have this debate with my mum who was not religious but had faith in whatever she thought was there and my answer was and still is my faith is in myself ;-) if I cross a road ? I am not going to close my eyes and blindly walk across! hoping that my faith in god will make sure I don't get splattered!! noooooo of course not, I am going to look left and right and do it myself ;-) I don't condemn people for having such beliefs, because who am I to do that but if more people had faith in themselves, and there fellow man, shared the love respected and cared for them, then the world would be a better place without conflicting religions battling for supremacy because let's be honest my dads better than your dad eh ;-)
All in all religion was created to keep society in order, an ordered people kept in line with the threat of fire and brimstone and some red Horney dude that sticks a fork in you ass plus some Christian beliefs refuse to believe that dinosaurs existed because apparently Adam an eve where the first beings on the planet! Now if we didn't have bones of these creatures and it was just hear say I would say he'll yeah who are you kidding pffffff ;-) but hang on don't we have the bones in our museums!!! Yes we do but hey ho I'm going to believe a book of story's which have no basis for fact? Yet I'm going to deny the twenty foot carnivore stood in front of me ;-) you decide;-)
All in all my eyes have been opened to science and how that has moulded us into what we are today and my advice for a more liveable world is love each other share the love and generally just be nice believe in yourself and enjoy your time here ;-) to quote a song lyric!
" life's a journey not a destination " that is so true don't plan on getting to old age with a cough and a wheeze! actually live it enjoy it do what you can when you can with a skip and a jump
Right there's my take on religion next time I will cover people now there's a topic for me ;-) I will leave you with three tips for a happier you
(1) love each other
(2) communicate and share
(3) enjoy what you do now you get one shot ;-)

Liverpool half marathon and babble

Hello there only me ;-) again been a little while since last time but I have been a bit busy with things, anyhoo as I'm sure you have guessed I have run the Liverpool half marathon on Sunday (17th) courtesy of a friend who had to pull out because of an injury ;-( but instead of wasting it I asked if I could take it on and he kindly let me have it for nothing which was very kind and I will repay him at some point with something ;-) but I digress.
Your probably saying well why did you not just enter it yourself, well to be honest I tried but it sold so fast I missed out, I was a bit disappointed because I had something to prove after taking the knock last year, I did finish it last year but not the way I had planned,so I was on a mission to blow that little memory away and put it to rest, which I did, it wasn't the fastest time in the world but I have to be honest when I started out I just needed to be constant and pace my 40year old ass ha ha which I did, I started to get edgy about the ten mile point because that's where I took the knock last year so when I surpassed that it was a relief ;-) so then I could just concentrate on the last three miles which I did enjoy "sounds like I like pain" but it was a nice day so it was all good ;-), but all in all it was a great day with great people who all I might add did personal best times which is fantastic ;-) I will attach some pictures ;-)
Anyway in other news Why can't insurance company's just talk to each other ;-( without going into great detail I'm changing company's because I got a great deal but now they want proof of my no claims discount or they will cancel the quote?? So after a phone call I told them that my currant insurance won't send me the paperwork until my policy is up which is on the 30th but the new company want it on the 22nd so it's all been a bit why don't you just call them and ask them which they can do but are just being tits about it ;-( ahhhhhhhh I do think there's a twist in the tail of this one, I will keep you informed ;-(
Right just before i leave you with three good things and a wick!!! I will leave you with the comment of the week. While in one of my surgeries we where talking about old songs and songs that get you up and dancing, so after about five minuets we where singing D.I.S.C.O to which ( and I kid you not) one of the girls turned round with the straightest face and said "do you know what I've always wondered what does that song mean what is D.I.S.C.O what does it mean??
The silence was deafening and after giggles and laughter and looking at her like she was joking we realised she wasn't ;-0, we did explain and she went absolutely red with embarrassment ha ha but hey ho there fr the grace of god eh ;-)

Three good things
(1) half marathon success
(2) nice people to do such things with
(3) people who don't realise there funny (indirectly)

The wick thing
(1) insurance company's that make life so much harder and complicated than they need to be ;-( #tossers

Little fat rant Tuesday (nowt serious)

Hey there blogger loggers only me just a mid week rant at something that I've not had a real problem with but I have lost about three stone and now I maintain it through exercise and eating properly.
Now understand that some people's weight gain is medical and cannot be helped which I totally understand and sympathise with, but my rant consists of this I am fed up of people just being fat because of there sheer laziness and bad habits,and a real bug bare for me is fat kids with fat parents that is just another form of child abuse in my eyes and they should have there fat asses prosecuted for being lazy fat child feeders who are slowly killing there kids.
Now before you say Dave that is cruel, bare this in mind the majority of us all have the control over our lives we choose what we do how we live how we look how we generally live our lives day to day,but why oh why do we have unhealthy overweight lazy people who won't help themselves and are quite willing to look a state make themselves ill end up with asthma, diabetes, ulcers, heart conditions just to name a few ailments, I think what really gets on my nerves is the fact that these people actually gloat at how much they eat and drink and its like a trophy for them it makes me wanna slap there fat faces ;-( life is short and for the gargantuan masses its even shorter,I think it's just a waste of a life and it makes you wonder if that's the fastest most intelligent sperm that made it to egg than god know what the other candidates where like;-)
Now I'm not perfect (contrary to popular belief) ;-) but I understand that if I go on a binge of drink fast food sweets chocolates for at least a month, I am gonna put on weight and generally be ill.
Society really needs to wake up we will end up like America!!!, we are always 10/15 years behind our inbread cousins and if you look at the pattern they leave we do follow, for example this claim culture we now have "where there's blame there's a claim" we are now doing that, "fat asses" we are now doing that, get the picture we really need to think for ourselves.
Now then your probably wondering where this rant came from and yes your right I've just seen a programme on morbidly obese people and it Erks me that even with this type of programme showing the problems that will be had human nature will be shocked for at least a good hour then they will reach out there fat fingers for the Big Mac or the bag of chips (if your American reading this that is French fries/potato, not a bag of Doritos ;-)
Anyhoo that is just something that that really makes me mad and instead of three good things and a wick I'm gonna do a three wick things and a wick ;-)

Three wick things
(1) fat people
(2) fat people in leggings
(3) fat people in legging in front of me

Wick thing
1() fat people in leggings in front of me eating a pie

Back in the swing Mother's Day

Hello again been a few days between blogs I do apologise but Im back into the rigmarole of work ;-( but to be honest it's been quite tolerable.
I returned on Monday to find that my steed (my van ) "used for dramatic purposes" ;-) had been given out to someone else, now people who have never experienced this its like someone having a go of you wife then running off with her, let me explain,
I spend a good six or seven hrs in my van I have everything in a place,drink,food,pens clipboard,paperwork, you also get to know all the knocks rattles and the like the seat is set the radio stations are all preset you get the picture it's part of me, so it was like oh man really only to be told I had newer one woo hoo so,alls good in the end I suppose I better just find some new rattles.
As I said earlier its been quite a nice slide back into work, had a nice encounter on Thursday purely by coincidence as I was in a surgery I was approached by a guy with his carer who obviously had learning difficulties just wanting to chat now as you know I will chat with anyone so we had a chat about random things like the weather why he was at the doctors and just babble, but the thing that made my day was as I was leaving he said thank-you all he wanted to do was chat which makes the saying "something little to you can mean so much to someone else" it brightened my day up.
In other news it's mothers day here in England which will be the first without my mum about so I'm braced for all the social media wishing happy mothers day to theres, so if you still have yours wherever you are in the world no matter what what your relationship is with her just make that call or send her a message because believe me when there gone they are gone!!. ;-(
Anyway on a lighter note i have the liverpool half marathon next Sunday the 17th which I've been training for and I've been roped into the snowdonia half marathon four weeks later which I do believe is gonna be a tuffy but I am up for pushing myself so I'm focused on them, anyhoo just a quick ramble there I promise not to leave it to long next time but I shall leave you with the three good things and the wick thing ;-)

Three good things
(1) great conversation in the week
(2) new van
(3) half marathon

The wick thing
(1) charity collectors that beg for your items say they will pick up at a time on a day even go to the trouble of pushing a bag through our door then not turning up #nomoremariecurrie I'm taking it to the animals ;-)

Amsterdam antics and general ;-)

Hey there my little blogknockers there has been a few days between this blog and the last, but I have been away for a few days hence the title of the blog ;-).
Now then where to start I've had what can only be described as a 40th birthday week which feels like a month see previous blog for earlier antics ;-)
I've been in Amsterdam the last four days I have been here before about 17 years ago but to be honest it's still the same probably a bit more commercial than i remember back than! it's always had a very multicultural society but feels a bit more cheesy but none the less I do love the random bars and cafe's down back ally's and streets but I have to be honest the bike thing does my head in they have a great system of bike lanes, and the bikes have right away apparently but while I was there they were getting hate beeps of the cars and they do not stick to there paths and use the pavements which I found a bit irritating but as always it's the few that spoil it for the many ;-(.
We have done a lot of the museums and places of interest on this visit! I like to know where I am! and where it came from and we got that by doing a very interesting canal cruise.
We also went to Amsterdam zoo which is frickin amazing you can actually name an animal or insect or monkey and they have it ;-) fantastic, we also did the the sex museum which is sort of cultural ;-) but it was fun and does date back to victorian sex and believe me they where no angels dirty little feckers ha ha but eh were doing it now so thank-you victorian dudes ;-) Amsterdam has a very interesting history but I will not divulge that you can find out for yourself I will chuck a few snaps on here for you to peruse ;-)
Anyhoo my birthday week was amazing what with planes,cars,massages and Amsterdam its been like a 7 day fantasy (for want of a better phrase ha ha.
Right back to normality or what you can describe as a Dave normality ;-) I actually had an epic moment on Saturday with my car insurance and when I say epic I mean I really wanted to touch myself with excitement ;-) right I shall brief you....... My car insurance is due and I was quoted from my insurance £500 which is £60 cheaper than last year so for once it had gone down happy days, but I thought I would just give it a whirl on money supermarket and I was quoted £269 for the same policy except I added protected no claims and it was still £200 quid cheaper so the rule is shop around folks ;-) well it's back to work on Monday so it's back to working with my socially damaged retards and trying to communicate with grunts ropes and pulleys but eh nevermind I will survive I'm sure ;-) right there is loads to tell but this is only a passing blog if you got any questions just ask x now the three good things and a wick thing for today

Three good things
(1) lovely sunny day today (fantastic )
(2) car insurance (epic)
(3) 6mile run in an hr (AWSOME )

Wick thing
(1) work tomorrow ;-(
