Erm. Where do I start?
Kids
I havent seen the kids for some time now. I spoke to Chandler on the phone a couple of weeks ago and saw Rhiannon a fortnight before then. Apart from that, nothing at all. Dumbo and Bimbo are refusing to answer my calls to their mobiles (they just divert/cancel them) and they haven't given me a home number to call them on. It's now got legal, as I just cant stand this crap from them anymore. Its Rhiannons 5th birthday on Thursday, and I very much doubt if I will get to see her. I'm going to go round and try to see them both and give Rhiannon her presents in the afternoon.
Shell
She is ace. She's fitted in well at her new job and was started as a "Senior" on her first day, as she is the only one with qualifications! The hours seem pretty good as well.
We had some grief last week, as we are both worried about the stress that the court case with Bimbo bring. She doesnt need it - its not her problem. I really hope she can put up with me, cos we work so well together in everything.
Her mouse (Angel) was put down on Saturday, as she had become really ill :(
So we are going to get 2 mice for my house - YAY! Never had mice before - fish, a snake and cats but never mice.
Dave (her step-dad) had his 47th operation yesterday. He is 47. He is 48 this year and will be having another operation later this year to give him a metal knee. Saw him last night and you could see he was in pain but he lives in pain, so he was putting up with it. I like Dave (and Shells mum, Su) and have great respect for him and what he has been through. I know I would have given up ny now. Su is great, as she has been at his bedside the whole time.
Computers
My 3pin adapters turned up yesterday and today Andy G gave me the motherboard, P4 and memory. Tonight, I'll be finishing up the wiring and maybe putting the mobo into place and might even test the rig. But I think that might wait until the weekend. I want to get a good cabling job done first and make sure it is as tidy as possible. The rest of my fans and stuff should be turning up this week as well, so I shall get it all done at the weekend while Shell is working.
Some of what I am doing involves killing my old W2K server. Its DVD will be going into the new machine, its soundcard and Live Drive II will be going into Shells Celeron machine. Its processors will be going into the new Dual P3 motherboard machine and its hard disk will be donated to medical science. This means of course that I will have a Dual P3 capable machine with a P3-733 on it going spare... Anyone?
And on Saturday I will be getting a PPC powered, towered A4000. It will rock.
When I've worked out what to do with it and got it all setup that is :)
Drinking
Friday night was the leaving do for John (at work). So we went out and celebrated in style at Lloyds Bar (without everyone else). There was Paul, Andy G, Andy F and myself and we also met up with Dunc later in the night (who was attending his own leaving do thrown by Finance, although he isnt leaving...)
Lloyds Bar sell a cocktail jug which contains 6 shots of Rum mixed with ice and 2 bottle of Coca-Cola Vanilla. It costs a mere �6.99. So we had one each for starters.
Andy F was in fine form that evening. When drunk he becomes slightly deaf, arsey and slightly comical (almost always unintentionally). For instance:
A conversation between myself and Andy G and a conversation between Paul and Andy F. This is how the lines of the conversation occurred:
Andy G: I'm just saying that I wouldnt want another mans penis in my mouth.
Andy F: Well that wouldnt bother me
We fell about laughing at that.
He then followed that several minutes later (while we were still discussing various homesexual situations) with the following, while trying to describe to Paul when something had occurred that Paul was apparently party to:
Paul: I dont remember that. Try and narrow it down a bit.
Andy F: [pause] Well, it was dark
Unintentional but in our slightly pissed state, hilarious.
I am out on the piss again this Friday evening, as it is our "Leaving the Bank and Joining HP" night. Then I am back in Bristol on Saturday to meet up with the lads from the mailing list for the Big Day Out (BDO). I will not be drinking, as I have to drive and will still be recovering from the night before.
