Holy Crap!

How long has it been since I last updated this?

Interim post ... Had an offer accepted on a house, bought said house, moved into house just over a week ago!

'Tis the reason I've been quiet!

More updates on many things when I can work out in which order to put them all in ...

Monies ...

... Just found out I've been paid a tasty bonus ... Also just found out that my work owes me about the same amount again in unpaid expenses ... And I've just filled in another expenses form for almost the same amount again ...

Unfortunately, our offer on a house has just been rejected.  More news tomorrow if they accept our amended offer.

UTMG's off to Glastonbury ~ Sunday ... The last day.

He gets to tramp around in the mud watching 'The Who' (unless he watched The Chemical Brothers instead ... a VERY hard choice) and I get to look around houses.

What a Cock!  Hear me bitch? =P  I hope some gypsy tramp bummed you whilst you slept.

So, it's over, I've spent every minute whilst not looking at houses or meeting up to hear the plans for my Aunt's Civil Partnership Ceremony (that's going to ROCK btw) I've been glued to the feeds and wishing I was there in the mud and rain ... /crai.

More feeds have been uploaded on the BBC website link below, I'd heartedly recommend 'The Who'!

In non-UTMG related news, we're off to have a second look at the first house we visited.  This time tomorrow B & I might be putting an offer on it.   EEEEEEP!

UTMG's off to Glastonbury ~ Day 4

Wow, Saturday already?

And now the musics REALLY getting started, I'm forced watch it all on the net and on TV. But credit to the BBC really who have yet again cracked out the content and have multiple feeds for me to watch. The one good thing ... well I say good thing ... was that watching the TV feeds you get to hear all the rumours that those at the festival may not get to hear ... so I thought I'd get into contact with the illustrious UTMG by SMS and see if he was interested in what I had learned:

Squiggle says:
"I hate you you cock sucking goat raping shit eating granny fucker! Having fun?"

UTMG says:
"Yeah. Muddy as Fuck but i'm loving it. Plenty of stories to tell"

Squiggle says:
"Apparently Tom Yorke might be playing. But Madness def will be in Lost in Vagueness. Prob in the early hours of the morning."

UTMG says:
"Any idea where they are? Check the net!"

Squiggle says:
"Tom Yorke will be on The Park stage for the Africa event. Madness at Liv at/after 12:30."

UTMG says:
"They were, and so was fat boy slim. I was right at the front. Thanks for the tip."

I always like to finish with some links, so may I point you in the direction of some Glastonbury feeds, my top tips for today is:
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly ~ After the technical hitches were out of the way, this is just a fantastic set frmo Friday night.
Iggy and the Stooges ~ Especially at the end where he invites some friends onto the stage.
Rodrigo y Gabriela ~ This duo just needs to be seen, they are awesome.
Paolo Nutini ~ Listening to him he sounds like he's 107 years old. I love this guy.
Sadly no link for John Fogerty, but you can have a slideshow instead:

UTMG Update ~ Day 3.

So, UTMG is going to be enjoying the music today and this evening ... Here's his current update as of 3pm:
"Sludgefest! Loving it though. Been up since ten am yesterday. Going for some sleep."

What a cock eh?

I'll be juggling my weekend between watching Glastonbury Festival on the TV and looking at new houses ... I'm so jealous.

UTMG's off to Glastonbury Day 2 ~ Now with added Bikes!

Well, I sent the Ultra Toast a quick SMS today to see if they'd drunk all of the cider last night:

"Nearly! Weather's below average, but We're(sic) loving it. Hung around the stone circle last night. First night of music tonight."


So, he's having fun! What an utter cock! Yeah ... I know you can hear me ... I'm not grabbing your ass ever again! =P I shall try and get more grusome updates tomorrow!

Apparently I've not included enough bikes in my filling-in for UTMG posts ... So, here's a little treat:


==================================
In Squiggle related news, B & I looked at another house today ... £10k cheaper than the first place ... and it was an utter shithole ... Even with £10k worth of work, it'd still be a shithole ... Gah!!!! Nevermind ... There's always more houses, but I'm suspecting that we might end up putting an offer on the first house we saw. =P

Random ... It's all moving quite quickly.

UTMG's off to Glastonbury ~ Day 1.

Last Saturday all the gang met up around McG's to celebrate the auspicious event of his other half moving into his house with a mighty grilling of meat and downing of beer (or ale if you're hardcore like me) . B & I were quite nervous about the affair, as neither or us could decide if such an event warranted a card/gift, we didn't take either as we forgot about it until 5 minutes before we got there, but the thought was there ... Well ... Sort of.

The whole gang was there UTMG, C-Unit, G-Dog, JD, Mr/Mrs Shazam and of course the mighty DJ Zoolou's was there to rip up some beats. =)

It was great to see everyone and it was a great opportunity for me to abuse every single one in the list above, as they're all going to Glastonbury except me.

DAMN JOOOOOOOOOO!

I wasn't so polite on the night. =)

The reason why I'm not going I hear you ask? Well, this year you needed to pre-register and unfortunately I wasn't in the country at the time that this was announced and as such, never registered, so I was unable to buy tickets.

I bet they're all packed in the cars right now on their way there ...

Anyway, after some technical problems with her decks and after she endured a pretty tipsy Squiggle pulling out cables and suggesting other things they could test, the problem was eventually located, one of her heads was shagged, but she was quickly able to procure another from someone she knows who lived locally ... SCORE!!!

B and I listened to some funky beats for a blissful hour before we had to take our leave, B had to be up at 5am to ring birds (an image of her ringing birds like church bells always enters my head when she does this) and we both had HOUSES to look at in the afternoon on the Interweb. We're trying to buy a house ... It's quite exciting ... Anyway ... More tomorrow ... I shall be trying to ring UTMG up later to get an update. =)

Squirrels go over to the Dark Side.
Mmmm ... I agree.
And ... As I'm unlikely to ever to get a real one.
