don't know
don't care
all I know is you can take me there
A day of beer and food with Matthews and the boy led me to an evening of tv on th esofa as H was out with the gals tonight. I watched a Noel Gallagher concert and he played Slide Away. I've not heard or sung this for ten years but it sounded great and took me back to my flat in Shoreham with Alex (he's the only person reading this so i'll dispense with surnames).
Slide away
give it all you got
sliide away
fell in from the top
slide in baby show me a sign

halcyon days of beers, no worries "great" music and being young dumb and full of cum

glad i'm old in some regards, my son is wonderful my wife isgorgeous, and life is sweet, but they were great times.....

Slide away - and give it all youve got
My today - fell in from the top
I dream of you - and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down - all the worlds asleep
I need you now - youve knocked me off my feet
I dream of you - we talk of growing old
But you said please dont !

Slide in baby - together well fly
Ive tried praying - and I know just what youre saying to me

Now that youre mine
Ill find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you dont know what to do
Two of a kind
Well find a way
To do what weve done

Let me be the one that shines with you
And we can slide away.

Slide away - and give it all youve got
My today - fell in from the top
I dream of you - and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Slide in baby - together well fly
Ive tried praying - and I know just what youre saying to me

Now that youre mine
Ill find a way
Of chasing the sun

In the morning when you dont know what to do

oh god! the "he hasn't moved for twenty seconds and therefore may be "cot dead" so for fuck's sake panic" alarm went off earlier. We booted up the stairs, in fact my legs got there miles bfore body and I hauled myself around the bannister. §I turned the light on full, and prodded henry as hard as i felt reasonable. he screwed up his eyes and seemed disgruntled.... like he knew what that really meant.
He was fine, and i disappeared off to puke. Which i did.
No-one tells you that the depth at which you love your baby is such that you can droip astone into the well and never hear th esplash.
It;'s by some distance the scariest thing that's ever happened to me and has ultimatelt ruined m night

i realise i'm a nerd - a windsurfing nerd - i've justr posted this
Never hhad to do the walk of shame although it nearly led to the inshore lifeboat being sent for me. Rigged my ne 6.2 simmer and didn't get it right, fely really powered, so came back again downwind to put more dow2nhaul on. Went out again and was seriously under and could only plane on a broad reach whgich took me downwind to gmac who goaded me into a bottom turn which was neither lanky angular or short and crouched but certainly offered no joy in terms of off the lip.\
The current was now running and Ferry road was beckoning. were it not for Danny being on the beach I may have asked for a lift from the " really [is an] excellent shop!!"
I re-rigged, and got a break from about two miles out and steamed upwind and home.
APOLOGIES FOR ANY CONCERN I CAUSED.
Yes I know sailing that far out is silly but by god I was not going to be beat - does anyone have any tips for rigging Simmer crossovers?
yeah baby - lifestyle change might mean less wanking oon about windsurfing

I have made a dreadful mistake. I've been looking at old photos of when I was young and significantly thinner. Fuck that's harsh. IF I HAD A VOICE I'D SHOUT!

It's a real shitter that when you're in your teens and twenties you don't realise that that is as good as it gets and that you're only gonna bloat out and get wrinkly so make the bloody most of it. Instead one is wracked with insecurities and falabilities instead of strutting about like the god you are (although arguably I did a bit of strutting inbetween passing out) and making hay.
I commit to shifting some poundage in the new year mind, it's absurd - Helen and I have been together 3 years and I have increased my waist girth by three inches, my weight by three stone and my age by three years. Two of this axis of evil are avoidable and are part of a trend that must be crushed. If we're together for another ten years I'll be close to 28 stone and eight miles across. I'll need planning permission to go for a walk!
Here's to gorgeing over the next couple of weeks (in silence initially and latterly with sound) and then a lifestyle change leading to fabulouds weight loss!!

Well i have succumbed to winter ills. My voice has gone to nothing, just a squeaky rasp, and it hurts like hell. I cough uncontrollably and I don't like it. Henry looks at me quizzically since I look like Daddy, but sound like Cartman.
I just want to be well again :-(
I can't reALLY work since that involves me going to hospitals and spreading my germs to the carers of seriously ill patients, but equally I don't really want to take any time off - wierd and odd catholic work ethic going on there......?

I worked from home today, whilst waiting fro DHL to collect a parcel which they collected 6 minutes after their window of 9-5 had closed!!!!! I missed a tremendously windy day, not that I could sail, but I could have watched. In fact we had a tornado today

I did however spend the day with my boy, and he has been a joy. Apparently he was a little difficult yesterday for his Nanny (H's mum) but he was dream for his Daddy today :-) It is worth noting how smug that makes me :-) he he

It's also fair to say that I have no interest in Cricket at all. Whatsoever. Stupid game. No interest at all!
MY lurgy is lifting, although not quickly enough for me. I have to go back to work tomorrow and have spent two whole days inside. Which is always odd - leaves one feeling marginally institutionalised - kinda like living with Dan Tipper.

It's also Helen's first day away from home so Hnery is with Grandma tomorrow - I feel pretty mean since it's the first long period we've left him for - mean Daddy!!!

i have the lurgy - I woke with a sore throat and that horrid sensation that you know means you're sick - kind of a nasty metallic taste. I've spent all day in my dressing gown whinging and feeling rubbish.

Helen now has symptoms and Henry's been crying a bit too so we're all coming down. Since I slept all day, ii now can't sleep and we no longer have the sports channels so even the Ashes series is beyond me. Piss.

To cap it all it's really windy and not only can i not go windsurfing for my illness may overcome me, but i also keep hearing odd noises like the bogey man trying to get in - which of course is just the wind....... i hope
