The reason is work! i feel after the week I have had I need to get a few things off my chest. I am sorry I just need to rant!</p> <p>As you may/may not know i work for my local authority in for my sins (I must have been a murderer in a past life) the council tax office.</p> <p>I know I am sorry! But it pays the bills. And someone has to do it.</p> <p>On monday the first of 2007/2008's bills hit the door mats. </p> <p>Now the things is people it was not me who sat in the council chambers and decided on this year increase. It is not my fault that the bin men missed your bin. I cannot do anything personally about the condition of the road just near the hospital. It is not my fault that the police did not arrive for 2 hours when you rang them last week. Nor is it anything to do with me what decisions your local parish council make.</p> <p>And for your information (and please dont take this the wrong way i am not bragging)</p> <p>The £898 you pay for a year does not even cover my wage for a month so no you do not pay my wages.I also pay council tax. I am not exempt beacuse I work for the authority. So I contribute to my salary as much as the next person. And just beacuse you do pay tax it does not give you the right to talk down to me, shout, use foul and abusive language.</p> <p>And NO you cannot get a discount for any of the following:</p> <p>your neighbour having a caravan on the drive,</p> <p>because you have a bus stop outside your house</p> <p>because you live near a pub or club</p> <p>because your neighbour is running a business from the garage</p> <p>or beacause your neighbour has five dogs.</p> <p>or for any other pathetic reason you care to think of!</p> <p>And if your neighbour tells you they are in a band lower than you even though they live in the same style house they ae 80% of the time lieing. Either way I was still at primary school in 1991 when the bandng was decided so It certainly wasnt me who did it.</p> <p>I would also like to point out the there are people out there who are in genuine financial difficulty. Who have worked all their life and are now living on a pitance. I have all the time in the world for these people.<br> I would like to say to the gentleman I endured for 20 minutes the other day that I hope one day you decide to get your lazy scrounging arse down to the job centre and get a job. Instead of bragging that you have been "ont sick fo last 15 years" And I hope that your new job means you then have to listen to some arrogant pig who thinks the world owes him a favour. Hopefully someone who calls you every name under the sun because they have been asked contribute £57.45 A YEAR towards your 5 kids education and towards your bins being emptied. I would like to say that I hope it comes back 10 fold. and let me point out THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE YOU A LIVING!!!</p> <p>And finally when you bill does arrive READ IT. If it says "This bill is payable by direct debit" Then thats what it means. When it says "less 25% single person discount" then it means exactly that! Please dont open it get straight on the phone, cue for 20 mins to then rant that you are paying all this money and cant get through just to ask if you are getting a discount and will it come out dirct debit. READ IT! </p> <p>I am sorry but I have spent 5 hours on the phone everyday this week thats 25 hours! listening to aresholes who are too supid to read what is in front of them. Too tight too pay or just generally love moaning. Or are too lazy to get a job! It makes me sooo mad!</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/03/17/dear_friends~1920712/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/03/17/dear_friends~1920712/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/03/09/this_made_me_smile~1876350/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-03-09:/2007/03/09/this_made_me_smile~1876350/Fri, 09 Mar 2007 19:38:38 +0100 <p>I got this in an email at work today. It made me chuckle!</p> <p>This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford: </p> <p>Dear Mrs. Murray, </p> <p>While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics. </p> <p>Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras: </p> <p>1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking. </p> <p>2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. </p> <p>3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle. </p> <p>4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened. </p> <p>5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. </p> <p>6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove. </p> <p>7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' </p> <p>8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it. </p> <p>9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were. </p> <p>10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme. </p> <p>11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels. </p> <p>12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!' </p> <p>13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.' </p> <p>And; last, but not least: </p> <p>14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.' </p> <p>Yours sincerely, </p> <p>Charles Brown<br> Store Manager </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/03/09/this_made_me_smile~1876350/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/03/09/this_made_me_smile~1876350/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/24/back_to_square_one~1797056/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-02-24:/2007/02/24/back_to_square_one~1797056/Sat, 24 Feb 2007 14:14:41 +0100 <p>It took me till very recently to get over this guy and now he walks back into my life as though nothing happened.</p> <p>Just as though he never got it on with my friend, as though he didnt break my heart. </p> <p>And now 2 and a half years of hard work trying to get over him has just been ruined.

Im over the moon!</p> <p>Last night I went to Leeds and got very very drunk. Today I am paying the price. </p> <p>This afternoon I am off to buy wool to Knit some fluffy cushion covers. I saw some at Dunelm for about £10 per cover. We have a big millshop near here that has discount wools and fabric I have worked out I can make the covers for £4.00 each which is a great saving I think!</p> <p>Ive been doing some part time bar work to help pay the rent. The pub is about 15 mins away and I dont really like the people so this aft I am also going to have an interview at a pub just 2 mins walk away which is about to be refurbished. So wish me luck!</p> <p>All this is a bit boring really but in my hungover state I am feeling a bit sorry for myself! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/11/noise~1720528/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/11/noise~1720528/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/11/noise~1720516/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-02-11:/2007/02/11/noise~1720516/Sun, 11 Feb 2007 13:43:50 +0100<p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/11/noise~1720516/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/11/noise~1720516/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/10/back_again~1714703/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-02-10:/2007/02/10/back_again~1714703/Sat, 10 Feb 2007 12:16:48 +0100 <p>Its has again been a while. </p> <p>When I last blogged i think i had just wrote the car off! Well great news the insurance paid out! MORE than I paid for the car!!!! I ended up getting it for £1150 in the sale and I have got £1300 for it!</p> <p>In other news. My heating was finally mended the other day after 3 weeks on the blink! Im just starting to thaw out.</p> <p>Dog was doing great until last saturday she ran after the cat as we were getting out of the car and got run over. She hasnt broke anything but is a bit sore.</p> <p>Then as if things couldn't get worse on Monday the cat came home after a 24 hour adventure covered in blood and with out her miaow!!! Took her to the vet who shaved the bloody area to find two get holes in her neck. Looks like a dog has had hold of her. One of the holes had needed stitching and the vet says it looks like it has damaged her vocal cords and she wont miaow again. So at the moment she gurgles and squeeks! Not good at all. The people across the back have two big rotties and she did spend a lot of time sitting on their garden wall last week so Im wonndering if it is one of them.</p> <p>But apart from that everything is just great!!!<img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/10/back_again~1714703/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/02/10/back_again~1714703/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/26/its_been_a_while~1628469/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-26:/2007/01/26/its_been_a_while~1628469/Fri, 26 Jan 2007 20:59:29 +0100 <p>Hi, It has been so long betcha thought I had disapeared!</p> <p>No Such luck I am afraid.</p> <p>So whats been happening!</p> <p>Well....My House wrming party went fantastically, nothing broken and no complaints from the neighbours! Result!</p> <p>Dog is generally okay. BUT.... she has mange!and is as bald as a coot round one eye!! We have got over the kennel cough but the mange will not be so easy to cure! It is a type that will saty with her forever. They can control it with drops! She has settled well into the house but keeps barking at my next door neighbour, He has a tendancy to wear weird hats!</p> <p>My love life is still as crap as ever!</p> <p>I have had some dieting sucess and have lost 9 pounds!!!!! Result!!!!!</p> <p>And finally......<br> This evening I wrote off my car! I was travelling along a main road in the next village to my mum and dad. It is a 40 mph road and I was doing the limit. It sort of sweeps to the right the dips down then up and a car had stopped in the dip to turn right. I just could not stp in time. i could see the car but I just couldnt stop. I got straight out and the drivers passenger got out and began hurling abuse at me. I told her to "Get back in the F*%"ing car before I killed her" NOt exactly a wise move. The driver was more understanding. We exchanged details and my dad has towed my car home. The wheel arch is bent and and the car is leaking oil water etc etc. the bonnet is now in half! And I bumped my head in the impact. Some of you may think there wasnt alot to damage but it hurt! Alot! My mum is not talking to me as she thinks i am a public liability and totally incompitent. </p> <p>So now I am going to get shit faced!!!! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/26/its_been_a_while~1628469/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/26/its_been_a_while~1628469/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/12/oh_god~1546834/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-12:/2007/01/12/oh_god~1546834/Fri, 12 Jan 2007 18:51:19 +0100 <p>Been too busy to draw breath all week!!

Nothing happend between us for ages until we'd all be out a few times and then whatever happened. we saw each other quite alot after that things were great for around 3 months and then he found out A was my ex. It turned out they were friends years ago and had recently bumped into each other and were now going out for pints etc. So G dropped me like a hot brick! Then as the newness wore off with them G started crawling back and like a fool i took him back. Then he met this woman out one night and again dropped me. Nothing has happend and we have barley spoke since then.</p> <p>As was share the same friends I felt I had to invite him to the house warming so put an invite through his door. Within 2 mins he had txt me saying he was in I should have knocked. i made my excuses and said I was busy. I thought he would leave it at that but instead i was bombarded with text messages insisting i went back as soon as possible. I kept saying no and in the end he was getting quite nasty. It was so obvious what he wanted. At 1.15 am hes hardly gunna be wanting a cup of tea and a gossip.</p> <p>Does it say use me on my forehead? maybe my invite to a housewarming really read. "Shag me Im easy"</p> <p>Now i have a dilema is he gunna be coming round next saturday expecting a little something extra? I dont want him to come but if i say this then i will need to give a reason and i dont want to tell everyone what has happend!</p> <p>OH GOD *screams* </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/07/use_me~1524350/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/07/use_me~1524350/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/05/dog~1518778/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-05:/2007/01/05/dog~1518778/Fri, 05 Jan 2007 21:23:52 +0100 <p>Not alot to report on the dog front. for the last 2 days she has been perfect, she has not had any accidents in the house or anything.

She loves it and keeps strutting about with her head in the air! Also got her a small bone. I think it was the first she has ever had and loved it!</p> <p>Last night was not as good as the one before. By last night she had realised what a life a luxury she had stepped into and so when the offic door shut she began to howl and bark. So after 10 mins of sitting by the kitchen door listening I went and let her out. She wizzed straight upstairs and onto my bed and there she stayed until this morning! That must stop, its allwell and good while im at home but could be a bit of a passion killer while I am in my own house!</p> <p>Livi has packed her bags and buggered off down the road. She is a very timid little cat and Gale is abit too enthusiastic for her! Livi is a rescue cat who I got in June, she was going to be put to sleep as her owner could not look after her. She is only 3. As long as she is left alone she is happy. Anyway she had not been seen since yesterday morning but when mum went to the shop this morning Liv was sat at the end of the road watching the house. She appeared for feeding about 20 mins later and then went again. She does not like change and found it hard to settle into my old house so when I move dad has said she can stay with him as long as I take Jacko. Jacko does not care where she is so long as there is a radiator to lay on! Oh what a life! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/03/dog~1510202/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/03/dog~1510202/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/03/the_end_of_pjs_and_slippers~1508938/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-03:/2007/01/03/the_end_of_pjs_and_slippers~1508938/Wed, 03 Jan 2007 13:07:02 +0100 <p>So The Vmpire has just rung being all too nice for my likeing and has informed me I will hve to work in the office tomorrow.

The vet did not really examine her and just gave her injection. He shrugged her cough off as being nothing perhaps a slight case of kennel cough. So that was that. She is going to see my vet tomorrow. (well not my vet but the vet the others use) </p> <p>She was brilliant last night. We decided it would be best for her to spend the night in the barn in the office. As we are not sure to what extent she is house trained. That way it would be easy to clean up. In the office is a big comfy sofa and lots of toys for her to play with. And it is very warm with central heating etc. </p> <p>This morning at 7.15 I went across expecting a trail of destruction. But to my joy nothing! Infact she looked rather offended at being woken. Whilst i got breakfast ready I assumed she was in the garden but soon learnt she wasnt. I looked in every corner and began to panic that she may have jumped the gate. I eventually found her upstairs on my bed asleep! It looks like this is a girl after my own heart who is not fond of early starts! So she has spend the rest of the day racing round the garden like a woman possessed with Shep at her side. Holly is not too happy about this new freindship and has hid all the toys so they cannot play with them. She wants shep to herself but he is proving to be a very popular ladies man. Two Begal pups up the road keep stopping by to say hello! Much to Hollys disgust!</p> <p>Holly is a very funny little springer.She wears every emotion on her little face and can sulk for hours! She sits on the sofa and pushes herself back so she is sat upright like a person! She is at the moment sat on the sofa watching gale play with a look that says "i am not impressed" this afternoon she kept giving my dad a paw then looking a Gale as if to say please take her back now. She has not been nasty but she is such a character that she is always the centre of attention so she must be finding it a bit hard! She will survive! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/dog~1506243/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/dog~1506243/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/smack_in_the_face~1503505/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-02:/2007/01/02/smack_in_the_face~1503505/Tue, 02 Jan 2007 01:44:28 +0100 <p>I further responce to my earlier posting. After lengthy discussion wil S today it has been agreed that the new piece is welcome to him but if she is the best he can do then I have nothing to worry about as<br> 1. She is figureless<br> 2. She has a 12 o clock shadow<br> 3. He has proberbly borrowed the money off her for the flowers cos he never had any while he was with me!<br> 4. After further inspection of the website which the flowers are from she is welcome to them I sent some similar to my mums aunt in the summer for her 98th birthday.....very old lady (not that there is anything wrong with old lady)<br> 5. Finally from what S can remember of her she had a personality and sense of humor bypass. Therefore it wont last long as he is one big joke!</p> <p>God I feel so much better! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/smack_in_the_face~1503505/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/smack_in_the_face~1503505/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/dog~1503488/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2007-01-02:/2007/01/02/dog~1503488/Tue, 02 Jan 2007 01:30:29 +0100 <p>Today I got a dog. She is an unloved stray who has been in kennels for 6 weeks after being found wondering the streets. She is at the most 5 months old! Definatly got Collie in her and looking at her walk and face some Lab. She is beautiful and will be moving into my new house next week with me. Due to the time of year etc etc and the fact thst I have homed dogs from there before i was allowed to bring her home today. She has no name and no background. It is easy to tell she has been a family dog and someone has started to train her as she can sit and give a paw. She is getting on well with my Springer Holly and one of my dads Collies Shep, the other two Penny and Butch arent so sure! Her temprement is great she has shown no agression to any of the other 4 or us and keeps coming for loves.</p> <p>So I have choose to call her Gale. I saw a similar looking dog with this name at the Sheepdog trials last year so this is why the name sprang to mind! Due to being in kennels she smells terrible so the first job was to bath her. The colour of the water running off her almost broke my heart. Now she is dry tho she has a fantastic curly coat she is just a bit thin under it.</p> <p>As soon as scanner working I will be able to post some pictures of the gang! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/dog~1503488/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2007/01/02/dog~1503488/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/smack_in_the_face~1499093/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2006-12-31:/2006/12/31/smack_in_the_face~1499093/Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:50:46 +0100 <p>I split with C about 5 weeks ago. When we were together we had a joint email account accessed by all the family which his sister would mail to when she was abroad it was easier than her ringing texting individulas and we could all see how she was. When two of our friends went to Cuba to teach in September they also used this address to mail us. So I have just logged on to see if they have been in touch and to tell them my personal address to send to in future. Amongst the new messages were two from a florist.</p> <p>It seems C has got himself a new lady. I know I have been out and done whatever with certain people but it is just a smack in the face. I am reeling! He has obviously used our joint account knowing I would find it as he has his own which I have no access to. the thing is tho that my friend S kept insisting he was seeing someone else the week before we spilt and her bloke said he had seen him with the receiver of the flowers but C denied it. In the message he has asked them to put on the card he is calling her the name he called me. i suppose what I am feeling is the realisation that we aren't going to get back together and that it really isn't just a break its over. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/smack_in_the_face~1499093/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/smack_in_the_face~1499093/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/i_have_just~1498747/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2006-12-31:/2006/12/31/i_have_just~1498747/Sun, 31 Dec 2006 17:33:27 +0100 <p>Been to Morrisons in town.

I moved back home in August after living with my ex for a spell. A month ago i got a house all of my own with no money sucking ex to hinder me. It needs work doing on it, the last occupants were colour blind I think and smelt alot!!

Last night I was DES</p> <p>First pub we saw Sam Nixon you know the guy from Pop Idol who now presents kids TV. L found this very funny as she had just seen him on Celebrity Weakest Link (simple things and simple minds etc etc)<br> Next pub contatined my ex and Ls ex! Oh how bad that was. We sat in a corner and barely spoke. The shame! Then we nipped to my folks local and had a couple in there. My dad is a big joker and is normally the life and sole on a good day so we had a good laugh in that one, called in another couple of pubs then decided it would be a good idea to go for food so settled upon a local Italian, called to see S's bloke first in his local. He is one of those guys you cant help but love, we get on very well which is fab as it means there is never any issues between us all. He was lauhging because he said that conversation should be of a high quality when ladies are present but somehow we always manage to lower it! (dont know what he means our minds aren't too sad sick or perverse!) In the end decided to get a kebab to finish the night. The Italian must have heard our plan and bolted the door! So between 3 of us we had<br> 1 Chicken pizza<br> 1 Garlic bread with tomato<br> 3 Kebabs!</p> <p>Such pigs! But So nice! So then went home after dropping the rabble off and watched soppy film! </p> <p>This morning I feel incredibly ill, since I didnt toucha drop it must be the food!</p> <p>So my NYE will be spend nursing my poorly self alone! What joy! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/last_night~1497240/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/31/last_night~1497240/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/30/just_finished~1494084/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2006-12-30:/2006/12/30/just_finished~1494084/Sat, 30 Dec 2006 14:50:08 +0100 <p>A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern.</p> <p>It was fantastic, It is a bit of a Chic Lit book but I thought well worth the read. It is about a Missing Person Agent who goes missing. I wont spoli the story but anyone looking for a new read try it!</p> <p>Im abit adicted to her to be honest, the other month I read her book "If You Could See Me Now" which is a bit like a fairy story for adults, it is full of laughs. It turned out to be a real feel good book!</p> <p>Also "PS I Love You" which was he first book I read of hers. I found it incredibly moving. I think it may be agood read for anyone who has recently lost a loved one. The story is about carrying on and rebuilding your life after a loved one passes away.</p> <p>And finally "Where Rainbows End" is a story of missed oppertunities and second chances a good love story. Where it all goes right in the end!</p> <p>I love to read and this is my reccomendation of the week. I will literally read anything.</p> <p>Can anyone recomend something new for me to try?? </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/30/just_finished~1494084/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/30/just_finished~1494084/#commentshttp://jackopus.blog.co.uk/2006/12/29/i_wish_i_was~1491405/tag:jackopus.blog.co.uk,2006-12-29:/2006/12/29/i_wish_i_was~1491405/Fri, 29 Dec 2006 18:13:19 +0100 <p>In my favourite place, Cornwall.</p> <p>Thought browsing through some pictures on the net would cheer me up an I thought I could share them with you</p> <p><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/457/1061457_2be0e99024_m.jpg" alt="ha" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="151" height="79"></p> <p>Hayle, it is so relaxed and peacefull.
