now i no longer have the car i have to use the wonderful bus system to get around. on the way back to ramsey yesterday i sat there on the bus, just me and another lad. just as the bus passes horsey toll on its way to whittlesey for young rascals, about 10 or 11 years old, quickly spin round bend over, whip there chavtastic tracky bottoms down revealing the snow white buttocks which they proceeded to slap. i had to laugh, it was very very funny at the time although i dont think the bus driver was ammused.
thanks lads...

last evening 4 fine young men may have come up with a potential new sport for 2012, a proper little gem of a game. All you need is a trampoline, and bouncer and 3 willing and articulate competitors. The 3 competitors all sit in the middle of the trampoline, legs crossed and holding onto their toes. They sit, waiting, anxiously, the tension mounts as the bouncer takes his position between the competitors on the trampoline. the bouncer then points a finger at one of the competitors who immediately has to shout out a syllable, followed by the 2nd and 3rd competitors until a 3 syllable word has been formed and assigned to one of the them. this process is repeated until each competitor has a 3 syllable word to say. then the contest begins. the bouncer motions up and down bouncing higher and higher, bouncing the competitors up into the air and sometimes dangerously over onto their necks. still gripping onto there feet for dear life the 1st competitor to let go of there feet is eliminated. whilst being bounced each competitor is required to repeat their 3 syllable word over and over until someone lets go of their feet. dangerous,
exhilarating, bouncy and very very funny - the potential new olympic sport for 2012 BUMTEEPUFF DEECUNPOKE

the new plum arsenal shirt was released sometime around the 22nd june, as usual i decided i would go and buy it asap. just in conversation i said to my dad "im going to get the new arsenal shirt tomorrow" he replied "why dont you wait for your birthday in september" BUM..... thats 2 months away, so i contiuned to complain about having to wait and my persistence reaped rewards on friday night when hayley was down for the weekend and i was presented with a cracking early birthday present. just trying to think about what i can complain about next....

after recieveing my results this morning i was up early so took a wander down town only to find that today appeared to me a monumental day in the history of ramsey trading. you probably didn't guess but it was the grand opening of the refurbished and all new somerfield store. for 4 weeks it has been shrouded by building boards, the street has been comparatively barron without it and it has caused much speculation about the town.
one thing i never expected to see would be people jostling to be first inline to get into ramsey somerfield. a most random sight. clearly some must have thought they would receive some kind of special offer or even an appearance in the local paper. with the rather harsh tinny background accompanyment to the event provided by a saxophone and a banjo the ramsey faithful, may i point out with an average age of 100, arged and barged there way towards the red tape in huge anticipation. it was like a scene from the news when aid is dropped, anyone would think these people had not eaten since the store closed 4 weeks ago for its re-fit. it took some real muscle to get to the front of the queue, this being achieved by an old man on a shopper scooter, obviously using the basket on the front to usher people out of his so as not to get trapped in is maniacally spinning front tyre. there he sat at the very front of all the palava, looking like a rather eager michael schumacher on the front of the grid with the front of his vehicle clearly well beyond the red tape.
i could go on about the refit and if it was worth it but i will sum it up in a brief statement, which also sums up much about ramsey. they widened the store, yet made the aisle narrower but fail to gain any more ailse, u work it out because i cant.....

a little observation i have made over recent days especially being at work in the old peoples home. you live your life and then you get too old to live anymore and you just survive waiting for the inevitable consequence of being alive. I know nothing ever happens how you want it but in a ideal world I want to go enjoying my life rather than sitting want to die.
apologies for being morbid just acknowledging the frustrations of being old..
on the brighter side i found out today that bono of U2 fame pronounces the word fantastic in the same apparently exagerated way, cheers bono
