It's weekend for me!

5 days off now! WOO HOO!

2 bottles of red wine (Thanx Bob!) 1 already being consumed! ;-)

Got some Def Leppard tix booked yesterday for 18th June in London, this will be my 12th DL concert :-D

THEY FUCKING ROCK! (and Sav is lush!)


Lyric of the day:

Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost
Could you ever take a life when all was lost
And would it ever be enough

Could you bite the hand that feeds you and then ask for more
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds spit it on the floor
Could you open up your heart then close the door
And would it ever be enough

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You die for love when it's alive
But where does love go when it dies

If you came across your dream would you walk on by
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
And is there room inside your mind for one more try
And would it ever be enough

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now

If you woke up from your sleep blood on your hands
Would you wash the pain away no one understands
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
And would it ever be enough

61 Days til Star Wars, Legacy Of The Force: Betrayal

Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try!

So...... nearly 30! got a couple of days yet to enjoy being 29 ;-)

Not alot to say about it really just thought I'd type some random shit on my blog incase someone was readin' it LOL

Do you want a lyric of the day? cos I haven't got one

And its only about 64 days til the new Star Wars book which I'm hoping will make Jaina Solo into something more than a bug hugger!

How can you become obsessed with fictional characters?!

**News just in as I type**

Spurs 2-1 West Brom

THERE'S ONLY ONE KEANO! THERE'S ONLY ONE KEANO!

Some People Say

No hangover!

It's a miracle!

Started off on a couple of Perroni's, then the best part of a bottle of red wine in the Italian, then a few more Perroni's and no hangover!

Bloody marvelous night out >;-)

So anyway, just having a veg out day today trying to figure out the best sort of shelves to buy for my ever expanding range of Star Wars books, also need to get a wardrobe shortly as my room is starting to look liker a branch of Sketchlys dry cleaners ;-)

Lyric of the day:


Some people say that what I know should be kept secret,
Some people say I don't know anything at all,
Some people say that what I do could be dangerous,
Some people say I don't do anything at all.
Some people say this is a song that needs the drums in,
Some people say no it's a song for the bass,
Some people say that they can't stand what they're hearing,
Some people say who gives a damn what they say.

Do you think I care, do you think I care,
Do you think I know or I'm aware,
Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious.

Some people say that I look just like my father,
Some people say I've got my mother's eyes,
Some people say I'm like my brother 'cos I'm honest and truthful,
Some people say they know my brother's just another lie.

Do you think I care, do you think I care,
Do you think I know or I'm aware,
Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious.

Some people say that we should let the search continue,
Some people say just what the hell's going on.

Do you think I care, do you think I care,
Do you think I know or I'm aware,
Do you think I care what you say when I'm oblivious.

Alcohol! One Drink I Feel Fine, Two Drinks I Feel Everyone!

S-s-s-saturday! ;-)

Birthday celebrations start today!

Going into town with some mates from hockey for a drink and some beers should be good!

Ladies got bronze in the hockey! YAY! :-D they beat the Kiwi's on penalties!
The lads are playing at some point today for the bronze, COME ON ENGLAND!

Lyric of the day:

It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again
Goin' down on a dream
It's Saturday
Kickin' the workin' week away is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world

It's Saturday and it's rainin' constantly
It's the best God can do
It's Saturday and the man on the TV-screen
Wanna sell me some shoes
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world

Saturday- I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
Saturday- I'm tryin' to find a space of my own

It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again
oh the joy that it brings
It's Saturday
Kickin' the workin' week away is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world

Saturday- I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
Saturday- I'm tryin' to find some space of my own
I'm tryin' to find some space of my own

It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day in a perfect world

You better come on now
You better come on now
S-S-S-Saturday
I'm not too sure if iI'm laughin' or cryin'

Age is just a number, it's totaly irrelevant unless of course you happen to be a bottle of wine

V For Vendetta

Bloody fantastic film!!

Lots of twists and turns, good performances from Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman and Stephen Fry, and some good exsplosions! ;-)

So not much else to say really.

England men and women both qualified for the hockey semi finals at the Commonwealth games, I don't think I'll be getting up to watch though not after what happened last time ;-)

Chelski v Newcastle on the telly, crap game, same old Chelski always cheating ;-)

What a crap blog today, I really am devoid of stuff to say (very unusual for me!!)


68 Days til Star Wars Legacy Of The Force: Betrayal

WTF?!

It's 5am WTF am I doing up?

It's the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, OZ

Seeing as the BBC hardly show any of the hockey when they put their programmes out during the day I'm having to get up at some un-godly hour to watch England v New Zealand.
It's bloody annoying, our girls trounce Barbados 10-0 and Scotland 5-0 and I haven't seen any of the goals cos they don't show em!
So anyway, we're currently 1-0 down which is a bummer cos whoever wins will avoid the Aussie's in the semi final as both England and New Zealand have already qualified from their group.
Oh bugger it the bloody Kiwi's have scored again! So thats 2-0, maybe I shouldn't have got up after all!

Off to see Kubb tonight as they're playing in Oxford, still not sure about them, liked a few trax off their debut album but some of it is a bit samey.

England have a penalty corner........ and they've messed it up!

TirckyVee is sat on the windowsil waiting for the birds to wake up, I swear they take the piss by flying straight for the window and then veering off at the last minute, the cat has nearly fallen off several times watching them!
Now she's making some kind of noise behind the curtains which means the birds must've woke up early this morning.

Kiwi's have just scored again so that's 3-0! we'll just have to beat the Aussie's in their own back garden to get to the final.

4-0, we're falling appart!

Seem to have a problem with my Sony Ericsson although it could possibly be a PC problem, none of the recent pix I've took will work on the PC, says its not a specfied file format yet they're all jpgs, stupid bloody machine! (applies to both!)

England have 13mins to score 4 goals, 5 infact cos we need to win.

So while I've been away getting some lemon tea and fruit toast we still haven't scored, theres 5 mins left so it looks like we're playing the Aussie's in the semi's BUGGER!
Ahwell, you gotta beat the best to be the best ;-) I wonder what stupid time of the morning that will be on?! or if they'll even bother showing highlights. I should hope that if we do manange to beat the Aussie's it would get more than just a passing mention!

Don't like the England kit much, it's all a bit figure-hugging for my liking ;-)

So now its the table tennis on and I've lost intrest, I bet theres table tennis fans out there thinking 'Bloody BBC never show any of this in the day so I have to get up at some un-godly hour to watch it'

Just found out our hockey blokes lost 5-1 to the Aussie men, BUGGER again!

On that note I'm off to drink my lemon tea and try not to attempt to be late for work, 7 more working days and I'm off for 5! woo hoo!

Pickles 1991 - 2006

Pickles The Cat 1991-2006 R.I.P
















AKA as........ Big Fat Ginger Fur Ball, Picalilly, Lilly, 'Lil, P 'Lil, Stickles, Trickles......

So, 'Lil is no more :-( she passed away yesterday in her sleep but we are all gutted.
It is probably better she did go that way as she had to go back to the vets this week and things weren't looking good for her.

I will miss you Lilly Lil!!!

I can't really say much more, we lit a candle in the garden tonight, she's buried under the apple tree cos she liked it there.

Quit while you're ahead!

My winning streak continues!

War Of Attrition won the Gold Cup yesterday and I had 50p each way on it, I got the grand sum of £5.70! ;-)

Chuffin head hurts this morning, went to a party last night and drank too much Kronebourg 1664.

New Star Wars book cover has been revelaed and it has Boba Fett on thge front woo hoo he's my hero!




















So that's it for today, going for the ultimate hangover cure in a bit......BigMac fries and a coke! its kill or cure time.

Now I must go find some clothes as room looks like a bombs hit it.


72 Days til Star Wars Legacy Of The Force: Betrayal

Useless Donkeys!

Warning ..... loooooong blog post, you may want to grab a cup of tea or beverage of your choice before you start reading!!!

Horse racing, not really my thing but sometimes its a laugh to have a flutter.

Well this week has been Cheltenham Festival and the boss is into his horse racing so I kinda get carried away with it all.

My theory is: Find a name I like and back it, wether its odds on favourite or 1000-1 outsider ;-)

My horses this week have been:

MixsterTheTrixster: sounded like Vixzter
Darkness: well why not!
Mr Nosie: It was funny at the time
Our Vic: Never wins when I back it!
My Will: For my little bro who's called Will
No Half Session: Need I explain?
Fire Dragon: I like dragons ;-)
Straw Bear: it only got beat by <--------> that much!
Missed That: cos I normaly do miss things


I've been put fairly low bets on like 50p - £1 cos I'm too chicken to put large amounts on and basicaly haven't got big amounts of cash to splash on donkeys! ;-)

Yesterday I put a bet on a horse caled 'You're Special' (I will tell you the reason in a moment) which ran in the 4.40pm race, so I get home not even thinking about it cos I had other things on my mind and stuff to sort out.

I check out the 5.20pm race result a little later, no idea why but I was convinced that my horse was in that race!

Well obviously couldn't find my "useless donkey" there!

Get into work this morning and I'm relaying my "useless donkeys" to my boss and he said 'You're Special' won! well he should know he was there LOL!

I put 50p each way <---- last of the big spenders, at odds of 33/1 so picked up a nice little sum of roughly £22 WOO HOO! beer money for the weekend ;-)

Only reason I didn't chuck the betting slip away was cos I had backed the 'Darkness' £1 each way and I was due back the stake cos it came in 3rd so maybe the 'Darkness' wasn't such a useless donkey after all cos if it hadn't have been for him I would've lost it all cos I'dve chucked the slip away in disgust ROFLOL!

Lets hear it for the USELESS DONKEYS! ;-)

So anyway...the 'You're Special' story:

A long time ago in a club far far away..... ;-)

Me and some hockey mates all went to a school disco ( you know the sort, where you get dressed up in all your old school gear for a laugh)

So there I am, looking good!! ;-) bunches, school tie, hockey skirt, freckles etc and worst shoes complete with knee high socks!

Basicaly to cut a long story short, someone said "Vixzter you look like a special needs child" ( i think it was the knee high socks!) and thats it, I've been called 'special', 'specialness' or 'spesh' ever since by certain factions of my mates who just can't forget that evening ;-)

What else is new?

Definatley making the Rox do up in London on 1st April now, decided I couldn't be arsed to wait for other plans to transpire and so have committed myself to that now, should be a laugh and I just found out one of my mates is going too and we didn't know each other were going.

WATCH OUT LONDON!

Now all I gotta do is find a decent priced hotel for the saturday night.

Birthday plans are coming together also.

The plan is to get off the coach at Victoria Coach Station, walk in the general direction on the Houses Of Parliment cos I wanna see Big Ben go ding dong ;-) and then onwards along the river towrds the Millenium Bridge (right past that bloody London Eye thing sticking my 2 fingers up at it!) then over the 'wobbly' bridge and into the Tate Modern where I'm gonna show my mates my favourite picture ever 'Wham' by Roy Lichtenstein and see a bit of culture.

Of course all this includes pubs and eateries along the way depending on what we find!













Lyric of the day:

treu ihr sein für alle Tage

Nein

Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide
sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen

Nein

And so I celebrate my useless donkey winnings with 2 cans of Carlsberg Export ;-)
one is outside the window on the ledge keeping cool, hope it doesn't fall off! otherwise there will be beer all over my car which needs a damn good wash anyway but its just been too chuffin' cold lately!

What's new.........

Not alot really.

Spent most of the day discussing plans for my 30th birthday, the idea is we go to London and well ................. no idea what the hell will happen next but I'm sure it will involve pubs and food! ;-) maybe some shopping and even some sight seeing but that might be thru blurred vision! and NO LONDON EYE! I'm not going on that bloody thing even if I am pissed!

Went to a bar after work, there's a new complex (well its not that new apprently I just never knew it was being built!) in Oxford built around the old prison site, it's basicaly a few posh bars, a few resturants and a hotel but it all looks ye olde worlde cos the old prison is all built in ye olde worlde stone and stuff (before they turned it into a complex it was used in a few films cos it looked the part).
So anyway have just spent the best part of the last 3 hours in whats called the Ha Ha bar cos they have happy hour from 3-7pm and serve 2 pints jugs of cocktails for £5! BARGAIN ;-)
Me and my mate Frankie tried 4 jugs worth ...... all sorts ......... ended with a jug of Long Island Iced Tea.

Oh and got another New Jedi Order book thru the post today.

Lyric of the day:

Well if you wanted honesty thats all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the secound floor?

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means (I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook,
for the last time take a good hard look

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay now
(I'm okay now)

But you really need to listen to me
Beacuse I'm telling you the truth I mean this,
I'm okay
(Trust me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay

So anyway, weekend over and its Sunday night again!
Good news on the hockey injury front, had physio on Friday and I've got a running programme to start :-) so Tuesday I will atleast be at hockey training even if it is just to use the pitch for some light jogging!
Did a bit today, just some very slow jogging, the programme is a 12 day thing but I've gotta start by doing the first 6 days and see how it goes so.....fingers crossed! doubt I will be back for end of season :-( but I might atleast make summer league which is always a laugh!

So what else is new, had the MR2 for 2 years tomorrow so will be singing happy birthday to it ;-)
Got another New Jedi Order book, its a hard back too! woo hoo :-) need to go to Ikea to get me a book shelf.
Currently having yet another Star Wars moment, got Return Of The Jedi playing on dvd in the background as I type, god I'm sad!

http://www.vixzter.com will live on as I've just paid my hosting subscription for another year.
