Blog Monday 1 Feb

Oh let joy be unbound as we have just been advised, at the beginning of the shift, that for the month of February we are no longer able to access social media on our phones or other devices. No I’ve no idea why anyone thinks this is a good idea either. It means won’t be able to chat with either Nicole (when working nights) on Twitter DM nor Diane on WhatsApp. That’s going to make me such a happy bunny indeed. Good thing I’ve got into reading my Nook most of the night as this would now appear to be my only distraction other than listening to either music or podcasts via my iPod. Of course I could I could talk to people instead but I have to admit I’ve no great desire to do so. The icing on cake is that additionally from tonight we are also supposed to try to generate sales leads which undoubtedly will be as much fun as it sounds.

The TV continues to be full of little else than the death of Terry Wogan ... so far 2016 is turning out to be one hell of a year for aging celebrities with five gone already ... Leamy from Motorhead (no idea never listened to them) plus David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Frank Finlay and Terry Wogan all in January.  I’m afraid that whenever a celeb passes away and everyone eulogises them and says what a totally top chap they were all that comes to mind is the “Not The Nine O’clock News” sketch where two politicians are slagging the heck out of each other until one collapses and dies, in the studio, where upon the other immediately ceases his vicious diatribe and instead begins to praise him ending by telling us that the deceased will be sorely missed a great parliamentary and a close personal friend. Perhaps I’m just a touch too cynical; I’ve yet to leave a bouquet of flowers outside as dead celebrity’s house (although in Frank Finlay’s case perhaps a Bouquet of Barbed Wire might actually be amazingly appropriate).

Seems Nat and the Squad had a great time in London over the weekend, they stayed in Camden Town, the hotel, he tells me,  was situated right next to Camden Lock, and smack bang in the middle of all the late night action; he has returned in possession of both a rather radical ray gun and a equally cool bowler hat. No chance to ask much this evening as he was busy consoling Shannon who, apparently, was in tears over some mock exam they sat this PM. Less Crying More Trying ... Both of You!!!

Don’t know how Hannah’s night, last night, at Nando’s went as not had an opportunity to ask.

What I would dearly like to write next....

Just checked lotto ticket and it would appear I’ve won £20 million so I’m fcuking off home now!!! I Wish!!!
