what a great Blog Fodder Topic this week...
What is the best and/or worse advice you have ever gotten from your mother?
Can I answer this one with a simple enough answer - I can't think of ANY advice I've been give by my esteemed mother.
I'd have to think REAL hard to think of any advice mother's given me, sister's probably given me more, friends, other family but mother hmm......................
Sorry button got held down while I tried to not laugh.

I blinked and missed something..
I think I blinked and missed this week or maybe I didn't just seemed to have been working hard all week but all rewarding :).
Let me see if I can get my head around this week...
Monday was the quietish day.
Tuesday - was on a site till 4pm (when I finish) so overtime :)
Wednesday - moving the office around as we needed to vacate one of the rooms we used as an office as they were rearranging the place..
Thursday - Oh yeah up at 5am to get into work for 6am so I can take a trip down to a customers site in blackpool, all on someone else's expense account :D
Today - Quiet day in the office I was looking for, what I got was a trip to customer in Livingston to do a repair, got back had lunch thinking quiet afternoon, no to another customer who's alarm my colleague was replacing but he'd gotten held up so me and a colleague helped out by ripping the old panel, keypads and bell out ready for the new panel and stuff he had to go up :)..
Now time to relax, have some food and a beer or 2..
Oh yeah and tomorrow is mother's birthday.

Friday Night and it's Alright...
Well I took my beloved friend & work mate Susan out on Friday night, stop right there I know what some of you people are thinking :P..
It was her birthday tuesday and well we went for a chinese then went bowling me paying for both naturally..
What can I say about the chinese apart from it was great, prawn toast or as they called it sesemed prawns on toast - little bit of lemon on it, heaven :D. I followed this with Kong Po Chicken which is looked nice, I knew it would have a little kick but after a while the sauce got to me not because of the kick but the sweetness of it, I believe it tried to be sweet n sour with a twist but hmm didn't work out. Susan well she had king prawn with cashew nuts - perfect it was as well, muched a prawn - well she tried the Kong Po, we shared a dish of fried rice which was enough... I had had a long week and after the meal just felt like 40 winks but I thought that impolite, and besides the bowling was booked :D
So we went bowling, good enough place and busy to boot but hmm they could do with a little tech update, Im kinda spoiled as I got a very good bowling place with full touch screen technology and per player bumper settings (well I play against nephew) so having to go back to what looked to me arcanic was interesting. I will say is the Screens could do with being replace and the consoles as well to make it easier.
Oh and a few newer bowling balls as well they looked a little war worn - damn im spoiled ain't I. It was a good night and well much fun was had and overall and I've no Idea why or how I lost 2-1 and lost overall by something like 2 points, too many gutterballs I guess - I saw a few adults "cheating" as in they had the bumpers up (they are up or down for all)..
We did consider winding her parents up but thought better of it :P

Blog Fodder - "Give an example of a meal that makes you happy."
Hmm an interesting topic this week for Mar at Maremagnum. Well here goes it's a tricky one - well not really..
I think it's not the actual food that's there it's the company too.
So I mean I could say my own recipe pasta carbonara makes me happy and it does, reminds me of good times at uni (although I don't wanna remember some of the crap there), reminds me of a certain valentine's day with my now ex...
I like a good meal out, had a nice chinese last friday but I think I'll make a proper post about that now that I think about it. I had the sesemed prawns on toast as they called it followed by Kong Po Chicken with a side oreder of fried rice :D delicious.
Another one is well indian in origin, onion bajhi to start with and a nice chicken tikka masala or something not to firey anyways..
I think Im done now, see give me good food and your pretty well garenteed to have a happy Gopher :D
On a sidenote no idea how but well sometimes mother who is a good cook honest, serves me something and I wonder do I eat this or resole my shoes with it...

Blog Fodder - "Where do you go to be alone?"
This weeks topic brought to you by Carmi.
An interesting one for sure, posted by Moogie a little later than schedule but I think we can let her off, maybe......
I sit by my PC, put some music on or a DVD and just switch off totaly either that or I go out on a long walk if I don't think that's gonna work..
I think that's about all I can say really.

How to Piss me Off!
Well it's kinda easy if you know how but I digress a little perhaps.
As you all know I play "World of Warcraft". Now if you don't play it don't think about taking this game up it's subscription only and can be addictive.
In saying that I normally enjoy it, with the occational "OMFG" (Oh My Freaking God) why did someone just do that etc..
Now all was fine and well with my 2nd char on this realm (Europe - Boulderfist) in with a load of mates (2nd char in the Guild and 2nd time around).
My first char on there was kicked out the guild cos one night I went what can only be described as "Totally EMO!" that's like going POstal but with an Emotional core and i was booted out of guild and the GM Ignored me to boot :| well someone MOFO was pissing me off - member from an Old Guild I was in on another realm they became GM of the guild and well they freaking RUINED the guild, forced everyone into a merge I went I'd rather slit my wrists or similar (yeah I was that passionate about The Guild). That char is long gone - everything sold off and all the gold I made sent to a fellow player and the player deleted - was lvl 59 I think (on the grind to last level at the time 60).
I hopped realms moved a char from one to another and started afresh on Boulerfist with my primary passion an Orc Rogue which was what my 1st ever char was. I then got the expasion and created my 1st new Race char and 1st Priest (Blood Elf Priest) and was happily leveling with a few mates who'd gotten the expansion as well and were bored with their current characters in the guild, they then join up as mate was sick of getting whispers to get on his then main or an alt in the guild to talk about something I rejoined the guild and well all was fine until about oh 2pm (GMT) today when I was kicked from the guild - no warning, no friendly "hey mate - problem here" type whisper just BOOTED :|.. Some people weren't happy with my "attitude" in guild chat - no names mentioned and I don't really care either. What really PISSED me ROYALY off was the fact the faceless fecks didn't have the BALLS to say it to my face either in a party or in guild chat or even as a whisper. So Im all guildless again, just gave all my gems that I had to my mate (the GM who kicked me) Im gonna have to keep playing as well it's still fun (only just).
Oh and well hmm I won't be joining any guild for well lets see till thursday afternoon at the earlist (around about 4 days) which is the same cool down as making Mooncloth as a tailor..
