I can't post this in my Facebook status
because two of my friends are leaders of my old church youth group and would take offence, but

I am seriously, seriously fucking pissed off.

My girlfriend moved back to her mum's a month ago, taking our 2 year old son with her. I haven't seen him since, and today they moved in to a new house with her fucking boyfriend.

They are currently asleep in their house, with my son.

Not fucking happy.

That is all.

Oh yes, if anyone has any experience of family courts, contact orders, CAFCASS and so on, please give me some pointers. Thankyou.

Finally, it's finished.
I still need to get a 3/8" thick piece of glass for the top for a load bearing surface, but here's the result:



I tried installing lights under it, but I didn't like the effect- you can see through the glass too easily, so the lights showed too clearly. I debated putting a piece of white plexiglass like you see in a light table under it to diffuse the light, but it was starting to get too complex at that point.

So instead I put a piece of foil backed styrofoam under it. The foil was not smooth but had a bit of texture to it, which I kinda liked as it made it look more like water.

Detailed pics are here:

On the one hand....
I'm STILL feeling awful from last night despite not actually getting that drunk (fucking light-weight)..

But on the other I'm getting a chinese for dinner tonight. Not sure what I'll go for. Any suggestions? So while my mates are all in the pub getting steaming, I think I'm going to stay in with the chinese, wank myself retarded and then watch the Silence of the Lambs..

Most of them got me presents, which were mainly chocolate. That, and the 6 weeks holiday, will help me recover.

Tonight - Few beers with brother Beekers
Tomorrow - Up to Co. Durham for family party. My Mum's slightly chavvy side of the family. So a brawl and police intervention usually a given at any of their get-togethers.
Sunday - Recovering and travelling back I reckon.

The train was on time this morning, I only have a maximum of 9 weeks left of work, I got a story in the newsletter, and I finally arranged to meet some b3tans next week - I've never (knowingly) met one before!

Plus my colleague appears to have mastered the art of using deodorant after cycling in to work, so the office doesn't smell like a dying badger.

Has anyone else had a satisfactory Friday?

I was just reading a /talk post
I know, I know. I should know better.

Well anyway they had decided that the QOTW story where a man got digitally penetrated by a masseuse was most definitely made up.

After watching Mock the Week (repeat) on Dave last night, funnily enough I was thinking about qotw.

The story in the news was that an Australian long-distance lorry driver (who was transporting 2 huge tankers of milk), choked on a boiled sweet and in the process swung the juggernaut off the road. It ploughed through 2 houses and came to rest within a third. Within the third house was a man who was absent from work having broke his leg. So as he watched the Oz version of Jeremy Kyle during the week, a gigantic Milk tanker burst into his living room and hit him with enough force to break his other leg.

So my rambling is - can you imagine the internet carnage if this guy actually went online and posted his story on QOTW about how he broke 2 legs in separate incidents!? I think b3ta would explode with the force of a Hydrogen bomb bringing the rest of the internet down with it....

I had a genius, life-saving idea this morning

I've figured out how to save hundreds of lives on the roads each year.

All you need to do is to attach one of those fish emblems to the back of all boy-racer and salesmen's cars. From empirical research, I have discovered that no car with the fish emblem on it is capable of driving more than 10m.p.h. BELOW the speed limit in any given area - though in a 30m.p.h. area, they sometimes creep over 25m.p.h.

What do you think?
