I need some air, anyone got any spare air? I'm feeling weirdly light headed - I was fine until I read here, now I feel weird and in need of some form of medical assistance...

A little trip to the cinema
Dear Stanley,
Well I managed to get to see Pirates of the Caribbean III - At Worlds End last night. It was really good, I had to hide behind someone a few times as it got a little bit scary in parts I was getting a little bored as it was a really long film but then they had a little break and was really good and well I was kept guessing as to the exact ending right to the end. So all in all it was a good film. Oh and sorry for the poor picture I had some really good ones to take as well but the camera decided to have a flat battery at that time, I wasn't happy to say the least but I'll forgive him as the few sweets I had were really good, different I don't think I've seen any of these at home but maybe I have..
Love
Stana

It wednesday already!
Hey guys, is it really Wednesday already I seem to be missing a day or something like that. Yes it's been that kinda week so far at work all good of course :). Fully tested a load of new kit that came in last week, well we did ONCE we got all the parts. I'm saying no more than that.. The weather has been pretty good over the last few weeks as you've no doubt seen from the pictures of my guest postee. I'm gonna fess now, I didn't actually go anywhere at the weekend I just stayed in and sipped on some beer, I still ran a few errands on Saturday, saw the nephew on Sunday (he wore me out playing football and stuff). Thus sorry Stanley, Stana was let loose on my DVD collection so she might just come back a little less flat, oh that and she likes my leather jacket I think...

World Record Attempt - Failed
I should really have written about this on MONDAY but I totally forgot...
Now your wondering what world record could I possibly be doing - well none.
It's a radio presenter who's doing the record and he just so happens to work for my Local Radio Station: Kingdom FM.
He was trying to beat the current world record of 125hrs set by an Italian radio DJ but his voice finally gave out it was flagging toward the end. He did last 108 hours though and raised a load of cash for the radio's charity "Kingdom Kids". I just rechecked the site as found out this, I had to reboot my PC to install something and forgot to switch the stream back on, just checked it as I was writing this and heard music thought okay then heard someone else I was like "Damn!".
Never mind Mickey is okay but just can't talk he did want to go on but was told "no!".
Well Done Man :)

We Went Bowling....
Dear Stanley,
The weather here isn't always nice and sunny, sometimes it does rain just like it did today which spoiled plans we'd had. However since it was raining and I figured I needed sometime to relax we went bowling. I only have one photo as it was kind of hard trying to take photos of him bowling, I must say he wasn't as good as you are.
So I'm afraid you'll just have to do with a single picture of us outside.
I know you think I'm not having a good time but I am, he's got all the harry potter novels but they have funny titles so I'm keeping myself amused with them as well.
Love

Here, There and many points inbetween
It's been a busy week here at Chez Gopher.
Sunday - It all kicked off again with my WoW Guild - when my So CALLED friend decided to Boot n Ban me off the TeamSpeak server they used, why because he was being an ASSHAT and using a stupid voice (think those voice boxes for people that can't speak right) it was getting annoy I did say it was getting annoying on TS and then switched channels so I can at least THINK. I say in Guild Chat that I had and next think I hear is "You have been Kicked from the Server" to which I replied in Guild chat something like fine be like that then "bye" followed by 3 things: 1 x hearthstone back to a city then /gquit followed by /quit to quit both the guild and the game, I didn't go near the game again until Thursday.
Monday - Bank Holiday here but as normal I worked it, I do get this Monday off so it's okay :P.
Tuesday - I finally get around to helping Stana post the pictures we took on Saturday, I know my bad. Well that and work was kinda interesting running around the place.
Wednesday - Erm Let's not talk about then shall we, All day to replace a simple alarm panel - no comment!
Thursday - I go out to trouble shoot the system - find problem (could have solved in 5 minutes but I have someone rewire just to make sure.
Friday - hmm middle of nowhere is just about right for where I was, nice day out.
That is all.

Some Photos as promised
Dear Stanley,
Well as I promised some photos for you to look at while I travel to a few places, don't know where I'll be going yet not quite decided but there are a few places I could go all with in easy reach (so someone says). I just had to show you my arrival photo as I thought it was quite funny.
I went out at the weekend as you can see. It was a great day out although as you can see from some of the later photos it wasn't a crystal clear day there was a little bit of mist (they call it mist don't know why yet).
It was some climb it don't look too bad from the bottom but the steps we went up were pretty steep. I saw some pretty flowers and had to stop for a rest, when I asked what they were I was told they are "bluebells" and they are pretty don't you think.
Once I got to the top I was pretty tired, I needed another rest but wow the view was worth the climb :) and I wasn't even at the very top but pretty close.
I then felt I had enough energy to go up to the top even if it mean a lot more walking than at first appeared. I would have taken one from the top but it was way too windy and I was getting blown about as it was. I manage to find a spot so I could look at the other side of the "hill"..
The view to the other side is just as spectacular as you can see if you look at the pictures I'd sent you as well. I've been assured the the "loch", these people have strange names for things I'm beginning to realise, it looks like a lake to me, is pretty famous as some queen or other was famously imprisoned in a castle on the island in the picture with the smaller island on it, people pay money to go over in a boat and look at what's left of the castle. The other island has the ruins of a monastery on it, just so you know if you upset me too much I'll try sending you to a place like this. The other picture is just a random one to show you that "mist" again.
Love
Stana

Friday Night
Well I know this is Sunday so why am I writing about Friday night well I've been busy and forgot to post even although I was posting for someone else that night.
I was out with a friend again, we went for a meal then to the cinema to see Spiderman 3. I adds a new twist to a few things and well it was a good all round film where friendships old are remembered for what they were and not what they were perceived to be, broken although I don't know if it was an entirely happy ending, well maybe it was.
You'll just have to watch it and see..

I've Arrived....
Dear Stanley,
I arrived a few days ago, but I've only just got around to writing to you.
It is a little hard being flat and trying to write so I asked someone to kindly give me a hand to do that.
The weather here is lovely right now, not a cloud in the sky. I'll write to you again soon with tales of my adventures here is somewhere in Scotland. I might even be able to tell you where, even if just roughly. I'm having a little difficulty in making him understand exactly what I'm saying and vice versa but I think I'll get him talking like we do soon enough..
Love
Stana

Voting!
I don't know what it's like in your part of the world when it comes to voting for people in an election but well today took the "biscuit" so to speak. Why you ask, I'll tell you....
Now I was voting not just for my Local Councillor, but also my Local MP in Westminster and my Local MSP in Edinburgh... Confused yet...
To say we have a slightly funky way of doing things here is an understatement.
Now in Britain - we have the Houses of Parliament in Westminster that looks after the WHOLE of the UK, we have local councillor's which look after a local view and in Scotland and Wales we have the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly that are partly devolved and are allowed to make modifications, adjust and refine the laws of Scotland and Wales respectively. Now they normally just take what the MP's at Westminster say and pass it as law, or adjust it so it's more locally suited.
As a result of this of course I got 3 ballot papers to fill in, well 2 as 1 was a dual paper. Now the dual paper had one side for the Scottish Parliament and one for Westminster - the Scottish one simply mentioned the Party I'd like simple enough. The other part was The MP I'd like to vote in, again simple enough, put a cross on the one I wanted to vote for. Now the LOCAL council election that was the complex part I had to vote which candidate(s) in order of Preference I'd like to represent me at a local level - writing 1,2 and so forth in the order of who I'd like voted in. Now you could put "1" in one box and be done or vote for as many as you like. They even had someone there who's job it was to explain all this. I mean okay it's complex but it's not "Rocket Science" is it or is it..
Comments please and is there any where it's more quirky or "interesting".

Bloody Banks
Well today was an absolutely glorious day not too warm, blue sky, just perfect weather for sitting out catching some rays (if only!).
Me I was stuck in one of the works vans most of the day driving around Glasgow, if you don't live there never try and navigate without the aid of a High Grade SAT NAV System, even then I think it might still be possible to miss turnings. It was fun anyway got the jobs done that needed doing..
I leave work at 4, drive to bank, hand over bank card, take out from the nice brown envelope it was in my wage cheque which is machine printed. The teller says that will be ready next Wednesday........ Of course I meant to remember that I need to say the one small detail that it's a Salary / Wage Cheque not just a cheque but PLEASE! how erm much clearer do they need it - it's on a Company Cheque - PRINTED, It came out of a pretty unopened brown envelope it's the beginning of the month and well it what always happens at the beginning of the month or the last day of the month (depending on when I get the thing / when I can get it in....) So I have hmm about £50 to keep me going till it clears... I had PLANS this weekend that are now screwed.. I AM going to see Spiderman 3 - I'll just have to erm wing it for that one. I was going to take newphew and his dad to the local bowling alley as it's my brother-in-law's birthday soon so it would have been nice but now I can't at all.
Oh well another day over, just have to get on with it..
