Sure, I can accept that we’re going nowhere…

…but, one last time, let’s go there.
Bon soir, pop pickers!
I’ve had a day off, the sun is in the sky and the music being played is Barney Stinson awesome! Life is great, eh?
Not much to update with today, to be honest, more to just say… I ain’t dead.
Work is getting increasingly harder with [...]

I’m told I’m a victim of obsession…

…Oh, I’m a fool for having ever let her tempt me
It looks like someone finally turned on the sun in the UK. Damn them, I hate summer.
Tonight I’m working a 4pm to 4am shift. Should be… fun. The landside / airside boundary is changing at midnight tonight so it should be interesting considering it currently [...]

A real character in the story of your now distant life…

Bonjour!
Again, nothing exciting has been happening in my life lately but I felt the need to post because I’m bored this morning and can’t sleep.
Work is going really well so far, just a couple of quibbles. Such that the Staff West car park is almost back in Liverpool, it costs too much in petrol, there [...]

You should know all the lies wont hide your flaws…

…you gave up all your dreams, along the way.
Wow, it’s been a hectic and bizarre last week or two. As I’m sure most of you will know I’m moving jobs. Basically EvilBoss and me have been “not getting along.” I’d kind of resigned myself to not being able to get on with her after [...]

This train terminates at…

…FINCHLEY ROAD!
Okay, so only one person gets that. Nevermind. I spent yesterday whizzing around London sat on the tube. I also met Jo, which was nice. So, slowly and surely I’m ticking off people that I’ve known forever on the internet and now know in real life. We walked around Harrow, up the damn hill [...]

It’s where I’m from that lets them think I’m a whore…

…but I’m just an educated virgin.
I feel sad. I feel tired. I feel lonely. I feel pissed off.
Work is going not great. We lose three really good guys at the end of this week. Which means next week is going to be extremely thin on the ground and very tight but thankfully I’m off on [...]

April 9th, 2008
I wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho…

…I wonder what I’d do if they all did just what I said.
Is it right that I’m more stressed at work now I have a boss? Will it take her long to realise that Travel isn’t High Street and it can’t operate like High Street? Will I be able to actually do some of my [...]

I can’t forget the curves on your body…

…and when I’m feeling naughty I run it up the flagpole and see.
Hello. I am going to Leicester today, via Bowler’s at Manchester to pick up a monitor, as my sister has been in labour since Tuesday! My personal theory is that the baby just wants to wait until Uncky Monkey gets down there. I’m [...]



February 7th, 2008
This is an addiction, girl…

…let’s give in to it.
So the past week or so has been, well, interesting to say the least. Last Wednesday I went to Manchester Airport to pick up TT’s husband. I followed that by going out to dinner with them to Taipan. Which has probably got to of been the most surreal thing I’ve ever [...]



November 22nd, 2007

The Last Goodnight - Pictures of You
Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Blessed Union of Souls - Hey Leonardo
Michael Ebel - Drive Away
Simple Plan - When I’m Gone

Open the post to see the videos and to read what crap I’ve written.



October 31st, 2007
Come and lay on my bed, sit and drink some wine…

..if we had this night together, we’d be unstoppable
Bon soir. I’m not dead, yay! I am, however, overworked and under paid. So no change there. Today is my first day off for about 10 days, so it’s nice to finally catch up on some of the stuff I’ve been meaning to do. Buying an IDE [...]

September 25th, 2007
I worry I wont see your face light up again…

So, I’m not dead. Honest, Guv.
It’s been a pretty busy September in terms of work, life and the usual. I’ll try to list the main things that have happened that I want you to know about below
* Facebook - Look me up, my name is “Brett Cook” on the Manchester network as Liverpool [...]



July 19th, 2007
Six months went by, I almost forgot your face..

…till they played that song tonight.
An update for the life of me:
* Work : EPoS installation went very unsmoothly and I managed to pull my longest shift ever, 23 hours. At which point my boss told me to “fuck off home.” Then over the course of the next two weeks we managed to trade “online” [...]
