I hate Tennis

What is it about Tennis and Wimbledon that get everybody going, is it because there a so called Brit (so called because he claims to be Scottish) in the semi finals, do all the men go wonky at the site of women in short skirts or maybe they can remember their adolescent where they had the picture on the wall of the female tennis player walking away from the camera lifting her skirt to reveal the naked bum beneath? Maybe the women have a thing about men in tight shorts that grunt.

Nothing bores me as much as watching tennis. I think it comes from when I was a child and we only had a TV that had BBC or ITV (southern as it was then). When Wimbledon week came round the kids programmes would get moved to BBC2 and I would miss my favourite kids programs (did not like ITV kids programs a part from How!). I will be glad when Sunday finals have come and gone regardless of our Brit\Scot winning of losing.

While were ranting at sport I hate lets move onto football, it must be to most over rated 90 minutes in the world, 22 prima-donna's prancing around for an annual salary that would keep a hospital wing open or double the police on our streets.

So now you are probably asking whats sports do you like, well lets start with Rugby Union, they play hard and they get hit hard and then get up and carry on playing, not like there football prima-donnas who would be rolling around on the floor crying. I enjoy most motorsports, particuarly Speedway, 70mph without brakes inches apart from one another, thats takes skill and guts.

Let move on to the weather, its hot, its damm hot but it is the muggyness that is getting to everybody. Yesterday it was cloudy until early evening and we had a couple of hours rain as well. But now the nanny state has taken control, telling us when we should go out in the sun, advising us that we should wear light loose fitting cloths and possibly a pair of shorts. Exactly what are building site workers (there are many others but builders will do for now) that have to have every bit of exposed skin covered, wear safety hats, safety goggle, safety foot wear and safety gloves as well, can they go home early when it is to hot??

Common sense has lost its place

Damm and blast

Had my hopes up that tonight I would of got my 2 stone weight loss, but in the end I stayed the same weight as last week. What made it worse was there is another guy in the same group tonight and he only been there 6 weeks and has lost over 2 stone to date. It all down to me so I can only blame myself, onward and upwards as they say.

I have just joined Facebook, I am not sure what to make of it at the moment, only joined as some family friends really nagged me to and I thought why not (I have had many people suggest I join in the past but never saw the point). All I can say at the moment is it has not got me excited yet.

Decided to finish writing this in the morning (5-30am), just been watching the foxes in the garden, you see so many things at this time of the day you don't see during the normal hours of the day. I quite often see a heron flying around when I go out to the car at this time of day, never seen it during the normal hours of the day. It is normally quite cool but this morning the heat is still horribly close and sticky, the English weather, were never satisfied are we.

 

Ouch that hurt!

I realised today that you should never leave the driver side sun visor part way down when you get out of the car because it don't have hurt when it smacks you in the eye when you get back in the car. I must of screamed loudly, even my 9 year old son was concerned I had hurt myself, ended up with a ice red mark at the corner of my eye.

I remembered why I hate Windows Vista this morning, I booted up the laptop as normal and everything seemed to boot OK but then when I tried to click on any of the desktop icon I kept getting a window pop up offering to install a program. The program in question was installed months ago and was un-related to any of the program icons I was clicking on. So I decided to reboot, bad move. The laptop rebooted to a completely new desktop, apparently it could not find my profile so had given me a temporary one. Well after a couple of hours hacking the permission and I managed to get my own desktop back minus some setting. Not the way you really want to start a Monday morning.

Should of gone to the slimming weigh in tonight but we remembered that there was some doubt about to-nights meeting due to other commitments of the leader. We had no calls or text to say it was on or not so we decided to give it a miss and will go to a meeting at another venue tomorrow night. So I have another day to wait to see if I can get beyond the weight loss I am stuck at, won't say what it is until I get past it, think tomorrow might be a starvation day.

Missing in action again

The title say it all really, had a majorly crap week and writing the blog was just not top of my list of thing I wanted to do. Thing have got back on track in the last couple of days, reality bringing us to our senses for once. 

Despite how my week went worked seem to tick along quite nicely which was just as well as I don't think I could of handled both giving me major grief.

I have been trying to get into Glastonbury on the TV but I just can't seem to, not sure if it the stress of the past week or the groups I see on TV are just not hitting the mark but I am struggling to be interested.

Went to Cardiff yesterday for the British Speedway Grand Prix, while I enjoyed the racing I certainly was not comfortable being there because of the past weeks events. Was not happy to see a bunch up during the event and not the one seen by TV viewer across Europe but the one in the crowd. While I don't not what caused it but certainly drink was a major factor. 

Must say for a major event and venue (Millennium Stadium) like this the sound system there was crap, it was extremely loud to the point everything was distorted, the band they had came across really bad due to the lousy sound system, the PA kept cutting out, all in all not a very good advert for the event or the venue.

The event was sponsored by Rockstar Energy drinks, now I never put a lot of faith in these sort of high caffeine drinks. But as we were leaving the Stadium they were giving cans of it away. So I took a complimentary can. We left the car park at 9-00pm and as we drove out of the city I drank my can. I got home at 11-45pm and did not feel tired. I sat there unwinding till 1-00am when I thought that if I go to bed I will fall asleep. At 2-00am I decide that these hi energy drinks do work...........

Well it seems that last weeks problem took more out of me than I realsied has I have very little more to write about.
