North Stand Bairn

Having the bloody cold in July I honestly haven't felt as rough as this in at least 12 years (that's how long ago I left school and it's at least the same time since I felt as rough as this), hangovers included.

Phone bill just arrived. I somehow sent 341 texts last month when my price plan is 200 Really should not have sent all those Michael Jackson jokes on

Not even with yours.

Working in offices full of women. Sick of seeing at least one of them in tears every day. How do you tell folk nicely to grow a f*ckin backbone?

Orange Walk in Grangemouth today. There are muppets out to watch the procession wearing Rangers tops yet the Rangers game's on TV in less than half an hour. Hope it pishes down and the fuckers get drownt.

Finding out this morning that I know one of the swine flu victims from Polmont as well as his sister. In fact, it was actually through working with his sister that I know him. I hope he and his wife are both ok long term and there are no long lasting effects. Also, having played 5's for the first time in 2 years last Thursday, I woke up on Friday with really really sore ribs. The pain has been annoying me since but nothing I can't handle until tonight when the pain became excruciating. My sister thinks I should go get it checked out, but as far as I'm concerned it's nothing more than muscular pain and being careful and taking painkillers should see it work itself out. I tend to just grin and bear pain and try doing everything I usually do though this time I really really can't see me playing football again this week or lifting anything heavy at work meaning I'm going to have to rely on older work colleagues who have bad backs to do the things I usually do

Colleagues who make trouble and cause confrontation when there's no need for it. And it's not some daft silly wee lassie, it's a 43 year old woman

Nearly had a huge argument with a work colleague at work late this afternoon. I couldn't understand what she was talking about and was trying to tell her politely she was talking crap. Sadly as I had thought today was Thursday and not Wednesday, the only person talking crap was me

Found out today that our 11 year old dog may only have a matter of weeks left

I lose count each morning of people who are either driving with side lights on or worse - no lights. I can't decide whether to go to a night out tomorrow night 1 minute away from my work. If I do go, I'll be working til 5/5.30, coming home, getting changed to then head back out towards work to then head home afterwards then back out again on Wednesday morning.

Flexi credit limits I'm in credit at work by more than I'm allowed but have got shedloads to do tomorrow and Friday. I've got to go in late so long as I'm in by the core time and leave reasonably early to get my flex down or I automatically lose the excess. Not sure when they think I'll be able to do the work

Have done that before as well a few years back. Take it apart as much as you can and get it on a radiator to dry out. This PTTGYN has probably been posted hundreds of times already but waking up in the morning believing it's the weekend then realising no it's not and you need to get up for work is mine! And annoying bitchy female colleagues who at 30+ still act like schoolgirls getting ready to go to the disco. I swear all I heard between 9 and 10 this morning was stuff about fake tan, dresses, make up, hair, shoes, how much they'll be drinking. It annoyed me so much I decided not to go the Xmas night out tonight.

Not following my instincts and putting a £5 treble on Dundee Utd, Partick and Albion Rovers

Isn't a small amount of toothpaste supposed to be a cure for coldsores?

Heating at work keeps packing in - 4 times the heating guy has been out in the last week and a half. Fed up of going to work with an Under Armour top on beneath my shirt.

I actually meant to post this yesterday but didn't find the time to get on here: The women in my office are the "things" that get on my nerves. Everythings' always "There are so many calories in that", "A moment on the hips...." "have you tried this diet", "Weight Watchers", "How much did you lose at Weight Watchers last night?".... Perhaps if they hadn't eaten so much crap to start with they wouldn't ALL be on diets. Oh yeah, these are the same women who went to the chippie for lunch today

Bought my sisters' birthday present on the Internet over a week ago and received an email back at the time saying I'd get another email confirming the present had been shipped. One week later and after still no email being received, I emailed them to find out only to received a reply straight back saying "we are sorry but your order is no longer in stock". IT WAS IN STOCK WHEN I ORDERED IT Now have to go out and buy something this Saturday. The reason I bought it over the net in the first place was so I didn't have to go out and have the hassle of finding something in the shops

After my left eye being irritating and annoying for around 2 weeks, I finally made an appt with the docs today. Discovered I have a cyst in my eye and if the cream the doctor has given me doesn't work, it will require to be surgically removed There's no way I'll be taking a local anaesthetic for that operation if it's needed

Came home from work to a letter from my previous employer demanding a cheque for £642 to cover the outstanding monies on my Annual Rail Pass as they have no record of me returning the pass before I left 3 weeks ago. Try contacting my Line Manager before sending a letter out like that.

Can't remember. 4 I think. Never ever ever again

50 minutes on a bus from Camelon to Grangemouth tonight. Once and once only

Not putting more than £3 on Kaunas @ 9/2.

Witnessing a Djibril Cisse type broken ankle today on an u16 boys club player. And having to award Dunfermline a penalty

Sorry to hear that. I played against that team last August in a friendly. Really sound guys. My nag - people talking loudly when you're trying to watch TV and when you turn the volume up, they get louder as well

What kind of Vauxhall you got? Just asking as my sis has a Corsa and may not be aware. My moan - making plans for the weekend around a game I was asked to be an assistant referee at only to find out tonight that the refs' were double booked and they're going for the other referee and assistants
