It's A Long Way To Tipperary

Kudos to Darren for the inspiration for that title – more on that in a minute.

What’s my weekend been like (plus Friday and Monday)?  Well, quite a mix.  Friday I was in ecstasy – it was own-clothes day in work for Children In Need, and I didn’t realise what a difference it made to me in work!  I was much more chatty than usual, and a colleague told me they loved me!  Better stick with shirts and ties in future…  That night I was just in the mood to curl up in bed with the Queer As Folk DVD that LOVEFiLM had sent me – I was shattered and fell asleep.  It must have been all that blood rushing to my ‘head’.

Saturday was a bust – Wendy’s CD didn’t arrive on time for her birthday (mother had missed the first attempt at delivering it on Friday), but mother’s hi-fi came, so I decided I’d the TV corner – it’s not quite as bad as my PC corner, but it comes a close second.  That took ages but it was worth it, until the next time someone thinks it’s funny to remove one wire from the back of the equipment, then wonder why nothing works anymore.  Women – stay away from technology.  Missed bits of X Factor as well, but Sky+ recorded it.  Good thing too – apparently there was a short clip of Shayne shirtless – must check that out.  In slow-motion.

Sunday was good – Darren came round, and it was great to see him again.  I put him on my latest game, The Movies, and after a few niggles he was making a masterpiece.  It’s not as random as my first attempt was, but it has it’s moments, and he didn’t do it in the main game part (note to self – do it this way in future).  What iced the cake though were his little bits of dialogue – including the song that inspired this posts title.  I haven’t laughed that hard for a long time – probably not since I practiced Lee’s Starbucks order.

Monday, well, it was quietly hectic.  I had things to do, but didn’t get much of it done.  Computer changing, e-mail sorting, extra jobs and meetings did their part in it.  It was a good day though – I did my usual more than fair share of work, yet still noticed the entertainment that surrounded me.  Outside the fog and ice successfully made me a happy bunny, and although their repeated attempts to reduce my visibility and make me slip failed, they didn’t dishearten me.  No, the trip to ASDA with mother did that.  I haven’t had any time to work on my latest movie disaster, or blog as much as I wanted to.  Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.  I’ve been listening to a lot of Gary Barlow and Hedwig – must watch that film again soon.

Until next time – where do I go to request that good-looking guys should be banned from wearing shirts?
