Little Grips

1. Do you hate it when someone tries to educate you on a subject that you obviously know more about?

2. Do you hate it even more when that person tries to imply that they know what they are talking about by adding some technical jargon into the conversation to try and make you believe that they "DO" know what they are talking about and they are not "BLUFFING" their way through a conversation and looking like a prat at the same time?

I do. (Hate it!)

---

Okay, I now need some answers, any mind reading, future knowing all seeing eyes out there need to listen up!

1. Several years ago I wrote what I think is an amazing collection of poems, that maybe the world is now ready for, however I have misplaced the book, it was typed and bound with a yellow cover. I remember placing it in a safe place (that ole chesnut) and seeing it again recently, yet I cannot for the life of me find it anymore!

So my questions are where has it gone?

Where did I put if for safe keeping?

Who stole it and is now making money from it?

Who chucked it out thinking it was. a bunch of paper?

Did someone burn it?

Was it an accident?

Thanks, I look forward to receiving your comments and spiritual guidance!

Peace out!

Criminal Damage

I witnessed something shocking today involving a clamping truck and an employee of Islington council.

They were collecting and towing away a car that had been parked illegally. I would say they had instructions to clear the car and take it to the pound, not to pick it up, smash the window in, drag the chain across the car scratching the paintwork off it, and then crush the front of the car with the crane!

Word of advice don't park your car in the borough of Islington and collect is late as you might find it fubar when you come to reclaim it!

Suit you sir!

Noel what were you thinking wearing that suit today?

First day on the new job went a bit wrong, woke up 17mins before my train was due to depart, how I managed to get washed and dressed and on the train in time I'll never know - one thing I do know is that I must have sworn at least 50 times!

Then sat on the train, I forgot an important cable imperitive for a job, as luck would have it Noel brought his cable in on request, which was nice of him!

Got to work, arrived opened the iron door and then realised I hadn't picked up my key fob, so I had to wait like a lemon for someone to come and open the main door!

Grabbing some of my time back now, heading to my guitar lesson, missed it last week due to my appraisal, hope I didn't miss all the best bits!

Re-designed my site - fresh new colour, check it out and leave comments etc - www.dansheridan.co.uk

Lost in a breeze

Signed myself up for an online seminar, however due to the differences in time across the world, its at 2am eeek!

Why can't we all have the same time, we could all live in a big bubble!

Portfolio Time

I'm kind of thinking about re-moulding my current cd and dvd portfolio into a web version, not in order to find a new job, because I'm very happy at the moment, just got the promotion that I have been working my ass off to achieve!

More for people to see what I have been creating over the past few years since graduating.

If anyone remembers me, I have added some big names to my portfolio mainly music orientated but more recently feature films, of which I cannot disclose as the job hasn't been completed yet, hopefully soon though, watch this space for a url... Probably jinx'd myself now and I'll be bogged down with work!

Outspoken

Why is it, I'd be happy singing at home to my favourite song, or in the office, but when my listening to a tune on the train, I feel restrained. Is it that I'm too polite? I just have the urge to jump out of my chair and air guitar while singing along to some music!

Pumpkin man

I'm sure the world acts its weirdest for me!

Missed my train this morning, ended up on the late one - had to sit sandwiched between two broad shouldered people one of which was asleep!

Every now and again his arms would jump like a chicken flapping its wings, think he was having a knightmare!

Then he started to fall forwards, you the know the feeling that you get when you dream that you are falling (christ sake, I'm sat next to another one as I'm writing this now)and you suddenly jump forwards!

In the end I got fed up and elbowed him, it was funny as he jumped out of the seat, enough for me to wedge myself in the chair, make some ground!

If that's not weird a man then got on the train with a big pumpkin!

Is there a new fetish out there?

Lost in space

If you don't want to know what happens on next weeks lost don't read any further!

That bloke who was an officer in the Iraqi republican guard gets captured, and finally finds the source of the French radio transmission, and finds a well known face from the land of sci-fi!

The Minbari ambassador Delene, now called Danielle! It was a bizzare episode, with flashbacks to his life before torturing people for information, and the irony involved with him being captured and tortured too!

In the caves the fat bloke, found some golf clubs and decided to set up a golf course, everyone found it a bit hard to believe. I suppose if I was in that position, I too would rather play golf than mope around all day waiting for a rescue that obviously isn't going to happen!

Connected

I've been getting these weird feelings recently about passing away, or losing everything, and feeling very tired and weak.

Is it just me or does everyone feel that they retain a part of their parents thoughts and feelings, I just recently found out that my dad is not that well at the moment, and I thought that maybe the weird feelings that I have been having are somehow connected, can't be purely coincidence, can it?

Trains, overhead planes and no frakking automobiles!

Why the frak is it when you have a meeting or appointment to attend that public transport fails you like no other transport could? I even went to bed early to be up at the crack of dawn to catch a ridiculously early train!

Now I'm on a train to a destination with two outcomes either walk my onward journey or freeze on the platform waiting for the next available train!

Soreness

Not sure if me playing rugby was such a great idea this weekend, my legs and arms are weak as anything, I'm not sure if I'll be able to lift my favourite pint of ale!

It was good though to get back in the swing of things and what I am most proud about is that as a team and personally we all lasted for the full duration of the game!

Well happy!

Made a star appearance at rugby this saturday against Worthing 5th, and we roasted them 30-10

Some one bit me on the shoulder when I was on the ground, I think they must be harbouring vampires, also the first team beat rivals Plumpton a massive 63-0!

Runaway train

Bit scared at the moment, my train home is travelling faster than normal, and I'm alone in my carriage, and its bobbing around! I hope the driver hasn't fallen asleep with his foot down!

Political rant!

Just read in the news how the fuel protests are coming along, apparently they are using go slow tactics on the M4 during rush hour.I have just done dome calculations based on salary tax and national insurance which goed into the bank of the nation and its shocking, add the tax from petrol, vat on products and your into billions of pounds, not including council tax! So where does all this money go? We seem to think its okay for the government to fund x million pounds on military aircraft, yet they won't spend the same on curbing the MRSA bug that is killing people in our hospitals each year! They would rather protect us against threats from outside our great country! I wish they would get their priorities right!

Morning rant over! Back to listening to Linkin Park, I love the album Hybrid Theory...

Whose the daddy!

Not the same one that was trapped in the bedroom, a daddy long legs or as I know now a spider variety was squished in cold blood by a man and his newspaper, the FT of all papers. Harvest Men is another name for them. I was chatting with the boss man today and he agreed that its easy to pick up a daddy long legs, yet it is difficult to pick up a spider! If only all spiders had wings - flies would really be in trouble then... Okay I'm babbling on, time to get off the train!

New songs - old vibe

Why do people re-invent old songs?do they think they will sell better if people recognise them, I'm listening to some crap that has a Dario G tune as its base with some trancey trumpet over it, and some woman shouting about her mama too. Leave it, doesn't work!

Morning World

On the train in at the moment, I hate trains as soon as it rains the signals fail and there is chaos on what some people think is a great piece of infrastructure! Wise up politians is a pants system!

My morning mission was to evac a daddy long legs from the bedroom, where did the name daddy long legs come from - it must have a really complex latin name that no one can pronounce hence the silly name!

My mission was a disaster, either they have got faster or my reactions have slowed, probably the later of the two. I just didn't want to injure the little fella so I left him on the wall until I get home later. Apparently they only have a day to live, do they have a purpose in their short lifespan, must be one of those many great wonders of the world, I therefore felt he should be allowed to live in our house for the day.
