Hey up, hope there’s still a place for me here, I know I don’t get here much but the last two years have been, well, shit and I haven’t really had much inclination of much of anything really.  This is now the road to recovery but circumstances dictate that sadly, most weekends, life gets in the way. It may get in the way again this weekend but we shall see.

1) three people I would like a fight with. This will be hard because I generally don’t give two fucks about celebrities, so don’t care enough to have reason to fight them. Right now I would happily kick shit out of Just about anyone in Parliament but that’s politics. So I guess these will suffice.

First, my old boss. He definitely suffered small man syndrome and made everyone’s life a misery for 4 years. He was far too keen to use the stick, far too reluctant to use that carrot. I think he was in love with his own authority. I am Trade Union shop Steward for my department and I have never been as busy as when he was boss. We called him Kevin the gerbil and honestly the opportunity to chin him on behalf of everyone he fucked over would be a godsend.

Second. The two little fucks who tried to Rob my house the other night while I was in bed. Luckily I woke up, heard them and challenged them and they scarpered before I could get my shoes on. But I would love to find them because one of them might just have an accident.

Struggling for another one really. I am not really an angry person so finding people who I want to fight is a bit of a chore. Maybe the guy who has put in a written complaint about my girlfriend being intimidating when she was investigating him for fraud. Never met the guy but he sounds like everything that gives people with money a bad name. Cnut.

2) I love me a bit of “me time” when I go for a sit down. I always try and go at work too, get paid for it.

3) I think I was somewhere in the middle. There weren’t really jocks or nerds but there was definitely a pecking order and I would say I probably ended up somewhere around the middle. Being into toy soldiers didn’t really help my standing but thankfully the real world isn’t quite as unforgiving as the schoolyard.

Pledge for the weekend is to actually get some hobby time. It’s hard at the moment, I am working really long hours at work* leaving me virtually no time to do anything Monday to Thursday. I finish work early in Fridays and I have 3 hours into which I need to cram as much of the house work in as I can before my daughter arrives. That’s basically my Saturday taken up and most of Sunday morning and then after she’s gone home on Sunday clean up the mess that toddlers leave behind. And of course there is the “Sunday Blues”, as I have come to call them, after my daughter has gone home which has a tendency to sap any and all enthusiasm and motivation. So my pledge, made before everyone here, is that by hook or by crook I am going to paint something – anything – to a state of completion. It may be a squad it might be a single character, who knows? But I will paint something.

I may be a little bit patchy in my attendance because I have to be a responsible adult (the price of children), you definitely don’t want me to post videos of things I am listening to or watching (unless you also have a toddler that may be interested). But I will be in when I can.

*maybe if I spent less time having a shit I wouldn’t have to…
