Chav A Nice Day

God I hate Jeremy Kyle Show. Just caught the tail end of an episode and it most the guests you get on that show are so vulgar and a mockery of 2million years of human evolution. But who’s worse? The chavs and slags or the suited arsehole with one bollock who’s making a fortune out of exhibiting then on television for entertainment? This really is the Victorian freakshow of modern times.
In an ideal world the entire lot should be rounded up and executed on TV, boosting the itv ratings and acting as a deterrent of anti social behaviour whilst simultaneously alleviating housing, population and benefit crises. My bloody taxes are going to those wastes of oxygen!! 😡
Ignorant spazzers. And no I don’t mind saying it.

Out Of Date

I can’t do this dating malarkey any more. Was speaking to someone this past few days but a couple of revelations they slipped last night put me off. I wish them all the best though.
Moving along, its the weekend now. Possibility to meet up with Mr Green. I’d like to do some more munzeeing as well.

I’ve been judged by several times over the years before now so here it is in font. It must be said I am somewhat a bohemian and a jester. This is how I enjoy life. People need to grasp the concept I’m not a sad lonely old man, I’m a happy single carefree clown. Im happier doing my own thing in my own time, and I’d never want a so called ‘normal life’ like you . Kiss my ass.

Manchester City

Had a great time with Mr Lain in #Manchester City today . We set off from Skellingthorpe around 8am where he drove us to #Meadowhall shopping centre. We paused for a #McDonald’s before getting a tram to the train station, then a train to Manchester. We had tried four bookshops looking for second hand Fighting Fantasy gamebooks but nothing had turned up. One shop had even closed down and turned into a winebar. Finally we found Paramount Bookstore in Shudehill. Pretty early on in the search I found Sagard The Barbarian book4. It’s in used but acceptable condition. Mark would then go on to scour the shelves and bring up a signed copy of an early  Citadel Of Chaos, an early copy of Fighting Fantasy-The Introductory RPG, a clean copy of Battleblade Warrior with black dragon logo, and a copy of Starship Traveller but we left that as it was in shit condition. All in all a great adventure and a pleasing result. Also visited the Museum Of Science and Industry afterwards.

#Travelbugs

Let’s hope work flies by today with such a busy weekend ahead. I have #Manchester tomorrow with Mr Lain, and then meeting up with Claire on Sunday. It’s rained here during the night and is still dull and overcast. Gonna tidy up the rooms, and get showered before bed. Won’t have time in the morning. Best charge the camera and phone up as well. Kit out my rucksack.

My Riddler’s Roamer #travelbug has been taken all the way to #San Diego , #California . ( Thanks Aaron)
I’m so thrilled its gone five and a half thousand miles in such a short time. It was in Baby Masons #geocache so long I thought it had been lost until it was moved to the place Aaron picked it up. Then bang! All the way round the world. Here’s hoping the current holders of my other two #travelbugs get themselves into gear. Gonna feel like a travelbug myself this weekend!!

#Eyes

So here I am facing an appointment with an eye specialist on the 24th of this month. Apparently I’m having something with dye done. I’ve had a little look round on the internet and seen two processes involving dye. Ones like a bit of litmus paper leant against your tear duct. The other is an injection in the arm. Then the eye is scanned in both cases under blue light. I hope its the former. I hate needles. And if its needle in the eye (God forbid) they can piss right off. It’s all due to the pressure in my left eye being 1% different to that in my right. Bloody hell, 1%! Maybe i just blinked hard trying to focus on the hot air balloon? Are #specsavers just trying to pull a fast one? I only went in to reactivate my lensmail prescription.

Where Am I At

Lovely ride out through the countryside again. Feeling it on the knees though. Glucosamine pills needed methinks?

Hoorah! Tuttah!!

Today was the last day I’ll see Craig at work. Finally, the useless overpaid lump  has gone and the curse of the Tomblins away from Royal Mail forever. Well, officially tomorrow but do you honestly think he’ll stay his full shift and do anything? Will he ffff….lip. So now Regina and I shall be alternating weekends and doing up to an extra two hours a day. Bleh. But the overtime will be nice.
Thinking of going on a lovely bike ride tomorrow. I’ve moved it into my room. It wasn’t as safe as someone said it would be. My most expensive possession…scratched in three places, one severely grazing the metal. I can suppress my anger and hurt for the sake of peace but the bike stays upstairs with me from now on. I value my possessions and treat them with respect. I have too little in life not to. Anyway tires pumped, bags packed and hatcams on charge. Can’t wait!

Price Vs Restriction

Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: geocaching, groundspeak, munzee.

I’ve now been an active Munzee player for a few weeks, and have been trying to weigh up whether is is better than geocaching.
Pros-  Munzee is largely digital. It contains no more physical presence than a sticky label at best. Logging is done digitally also. You can have one set up in seconds.
Cons- some of these pieces can cost well over $5. Even if they have no physical presence. They may not adhere very long in bad weather. Membership is a whopping $30

Pros- geocaching can have little collectables. It’s slightly easier to understand terms. Stealth caches are camouflaged well. They’re hardier on weathers if made well. Cheaper membership.
Cons- you have to wait for groundspeak to publish them. There are distance restrictions between caches. Anyone can find then steal them for their contents. Logbooks can be ludicrously small.

Either way they’re both great outdoor pursuits!

Just Another Manic Munzee

Well I have been back at work for two days now. The usual palace of grime awaited me when I returned. What is the point of sending in a mobile cleaner for two hours to cover a seven hour job? This is the mentality of the idiots that have all the powers at Romec. Itll be much better if and when Cofely take over as I don’t think anybody can be as bad as the current headless chickens society in charge. Regina has be whinging about Craigs skiving whilst on the job, yet I caught her upstairs with him at least twice chatting. I have got a bigger fish to fry sadly. My mobile phone has decided to stop functioning properly and keeps displaying error messages. I have tried everything from empting caches to wiping it completely back to factory settings with no luck what so ever. Vodafone were also unable to help so it looks like its time to buy a newy. Unfortunately this may mean going for a less expensive option on the Kickstarter I am currently backing. But what can you do?

Updated this sites header pic and placed a social munzee on it. get scanning guys n gals. I appear to have opened up a new area for geocachers down on the Scarborough Bros farmland. Tentmantent enjoyed finding the Siblings series which I hid there the other day, and is arranging a litterpicking event next month in the woodland over there. Would have been good if I had though to hide a small cache there also. Anyways, time to wind down for the day.

There It Goes
