Less Motorbikes more Jonathan Agnew

I'm not getting a motorbike after all. We went to see the damn mortgage broker this week and he won't let me spend any more money. I think we should live in the park under a tarpaulin and then I could still get the bike. The wife doesn't see things the same way. Women!

As a side note I'm sitting here typing and listening to test match special over the web. For all those people who live on the moon, test match special is a UK radio show, they have several "experts" commentating on international cricket and having various conversations along the way. You don't need to know anything about cricket to sit and bask in the programs glory, its one of my favourite things.

mid life crisis

I'm going to buy a motorbike. I'm going to grow my hair to at least an inch long and become a mean biker instead of a middle age skinhead. bikers can be old, its in the rules. The bike is going to be a new Triumph Bonneville in either racing green or blue. the wife gave in far to easily if you ask me, I had my begging arguments planned out but she said yes more or less straight away which is pretty mean of her, she must be guilty because she's shagging the postman or something. I'm friendly with three guys at the moment, they all have bikes, this is of course nothing to do with "must have one because all my friends have one" I'm far too responsible and adult for that. Here's a piccy .. its pretty and goes vroom vroom.

Lycanthropy to Lithotripsy - a shilling for a return ticket
The reason I’m not being particularly prolific is because I keep thinking that I should give you a synopsis of the last twelve months or so. I’m not going to bother or I’ll never find the energy. So in short …
Bought an X-Box because everyone in work was saying how cool they were.
Winter in Colorado.. Stayed indoors and played X-Box
Got sick of X-Box
Stayed indoors and played Civ 3
Moved house – this is actually quite a tale so I may come back to it.
Passed a kidney stone – moderately ok “woe is me” story
Doctor discovered I had a horseshoe kidney containing “massive” kidney stone
Went to Wales for a week with missus, spawn and kidney stone – great story
Got back to states and had surgery to remove the stone – harrowing tale
Doctor missed a lot of “gravel” so I’m going through the process of trying to get someone to zap them with sound waves.
Have a metal tube from my privates to my kidneys and yes it is as bad as it sounds.
That’s it.. Good news is I’m alive and my family is still insane which keeps me on my toes.

Bricklayer
During my enforced unemployment last year I put my resume (that’s CV to normal people) on every technical website I could think of. I'm still getting the occasional notice of jobs which I glance at and then consign to the recycle bin along with e-mail offers of Viagra and numerous viruses sent by the legions I've managed to piss-off in the past years. Today's enticing offering came from qwest (for the normal people they're a cellphone company - I think). Anyway, through careful scrutiny of my qualifications and work experience (99.99% of which is either working with computers or sales) Qwest managed to find my ideal job! A builder! I fucking ask you.

Get in the kitchen woman
Its really hard to start this back up. I've got gallons of tales but need a kick start. If you read this go to the guest book and tell me to piss or get off the pot. Maybe later.
