This isn't going to be a long post as once it gets to a point theres not really much more that can be said.
I was on break at work today and on Channel 4 was - and this is in their words - "a heartwarming documentary about a young girl with brittle bone disease going on holiday for the first time in Europe with her friends".
The show was called 'Crip On A Trip'.
Till next time.

Fuck The Police
I haven't had anything to write about for a few days now, well theres been a few things on my mind but I did want to try and keep things 'light' on here after the "emo epic" The Story but something happened the other night that in my mind demands telling and its not a funny story again so I apologise for that...
My Mum was just round (hadn't seen her since New Years Day!) and we were having a chat and she mentioned that my brother got stopped by the police a couple of nights ago.
He was walking back from a friends house about half past eleven at night and he had his hood up on his hoodie. Which is understandable. Its January and fucking cold outside. I'm not prone to putting the hood up as I think its a bit chavvy to be honest but if it was cold enough I would.
Then this copper starts chasing him! And as he didn't have his bike he catches up and starts a totally unprovoked 15-20 minute search on him. And his reasoning for this? "You were wearing a hood". This was near St.Martins Way area in Thetford which I grant you is a rough area on occasion but come on!
The search involved even things like my brother having to roll his socks up so its pretty obvious that this guy was looking for drugs. Which he found none. I know my brothers no saint when it comes to that (and that's a different subject for a different day) but he got no apology at all! In fact the guy did a search on his name (which came up with nothing) and filled out a form!
As it turns out this power mad copper was in the same class as my brother at school. So my brother tried to ask him things like what he was doing now to make him uncomfortable. Which he shouldn't' have to do. This guy was blatantly harassing him for no reason. Wearing a hoodie is not a reason to stop someone and search him for 20 minutes.
Its not in my brothers nature to make a complaint, but I was so pissed off when I heard this that I would for him if I thought it would do any good!
I walk around late sometimes wearing a leather jacket- plus I have long hair and a beard. I imagine I would have got the same treatment and I would have complained until I got a apology. In full. In writing.
So yeah, Thetford police don't really have time to deal with the constant fights breaking out in pubs and outside Ice every night they are open, or the 34 illegal immigrants crammed into a 3 bedroom house but if you're walking home wearing a hoodie (or fuck it just differently) you better watch out! You're gonna cause trouble.
And without going on to the whole Drugs argument but how many weed users do you know that want to go out late at night and rob some Grannies house or start a fight? The ones I know can barely be arsed to get up for a shit!
Just found this out. Its about an hour after I wrote this now and apparently the copper in question did remember my brother from school and thats why he stopped him. Still the act of a wanker. Still stand by what I say about the police stopping you for looking different...
I promise the next Blog will be laugh packed.
Till then.

Footloose
I was loath to post this but the total hilarity and irony have overcome any doubt. I had actually already done this once this week but it was just a basic trip. Here's what happened today at work...
I was in the warehouse yard area and I was standing on a palette board. Meanwhile the radio had just started blasting the classic 'Footloose' by Kenny Loggins. To which I started dancing badly to- and to be honest I dare anyone not to it is a toe tapper of excellence!
During the Stevie Wonder-esque dancing I must have managed to catch my feet up in the shrink wrap that surrounded the board and down I went...unable to get a 'foot loose'. Landed hard on concrete and got straight back up before anyone came in!
This man needs to be stopped....

Bad Mood
Happy New Years everyone. So far 2008 has been pretty shit for me. New Years Eve was all good but the rest...shit. Just little things annoying me...people things mostly. Just the, not ignorance- whats a step down from that? Well THAT of some people. Selfishness too I guess. I ain't a nasty person and don't like being harsh about people I like but wish some of them would wake up...
Got a huge phone bill this morning too. Ever since I have been with my network they've always 'rolled over' the texts on the contract. For like 2 years. This month...no. Meaning huge bill. My contract expires at the start of April (and trust me when I say it will be expiring) so for now I had to get a 'text bolt-on' which while lots less in total is much more than I should be paying.
On the plus side all is going well with my computer - so good to have it back. I know its incredibly geeky but it is. Was supposed to be going down snooker hall last night- didn't in the end but didn't really mind- just sat on here and watched Family Guy and listened to tunes!
Starting my new contract at work this week...meaning I now have Thursdays and Fridays off which is pretty cool I guess. Means 5 days on which I ha vent done in a long time!
Got an amusing work story actually especially if you find incorrect grammar funny.
Never underestimate the dumbness of customers. One thing this blog will be heavy in is tales of the stupidest people I have to deal with (suppose this could count fellow workers too) but yesterdays one while not an extreme case of the dumbs made me chuckle...
I was covering a break in the petrol station and this young lad in McDonald's uniform walks to the till, I didn't serve him but here's what he said to my co-worker...
"I'm going to start working at Brantano soon. Its more quieter...a lot more quieter"
The first time he said it I just smirked to myself but then he had to reiterate it how I suppressed the laughter is beyond me!
Anyways till next time!

New Years 2007/8
What a cool night. Few negative aspects as you get with anything but even Norwegian Blue was great. Was brilliant to see Chris and his mate out- doesn't happen much!
Music in the Waterfront downstairs was superb highlights included KISS, Prince, Jacko, 5ive (now that was funny) the list goes on!
Plus the Chinese was open (Yumness) and the taxi was £14!
2008 then...more nights like that would be a good start!
