...from now on.
Finally hit the 50th birthday. Even the auld dear referred to me as Auld yin - wee sod.
Was at a Comedy club on Wed. that was doing a Charity night for the Unit - was waiting outside like a wee frozen snotter - turned out a few of the girls were in a pub nearby but because I'd changed to the iPhone and had stopped looking at the old moby, I'd missed the call telling me to meet in the Pub. It was great though when I saw them staggering down the road towards The Stand which quickly turned to arse flapping fear when I saw the hat-as-comedy-birthday-cake they wanted me to wear, that and a badge the size of a dinner-plate saying "Fabulous and 50", (How very true).
Jesus Christ-on-a-crutch, talk about making yourself into Bait - those bloody comedians would have verbally shredded me if I sat right in front of the stage wearing the fucking thing.
Needless to say, it was a brilliant night, pished ourselves daft, the guy who organised the night raised an extra £200 - odd quid by shaving of his beard - got some great photos on the iPhone too.
What really floored me though was the girls had not only taken the time to write out birthday cards for me - but they gave me beautifull presents too, unloooked for but very definately appreciated - Thanks again Girls, you're a Great Bunch.
Went to wee maws the day before the Birthday - she gave me a pound for every year which I'll use to get a ring to go with the amber stuff she got me for xmas, also gave me last weeks Falkirk Herald - read through it and totally missed the entry she'd put in for my birthday - with a picture taken when I was in first year at N.K. - Fuxake, talk about looking innocent!
Last night, met up with Bryan and Derek, first to their house where I got my present - a Birthday cake, including candles, and a beautifull amber and smokey quartz necklace, which is absolutely gorgeous and they took me out to dinner to a wee Italian place in Hope st - La Lanterna, totally buzzing with conversation cos it was mobbed with people, and once we'd tried the food it was easy to see why - absolutly perfect, great service and lovely wine - the G & T was perfect too.
A fantastic night and a lovely end to a week I'd been dreading becuase, I can say it now, it really bothered me, the thought opf turning 50, still, prefer that to the alternative ie. being dead but it seemed to be a real psychological block, but I've got there
What the Fuck - at least I'm not 60!.

Sodding crackdown at...
...work means that we cant get a lot of net access like we used too, all those bastards trying for cheap flights have screwed it for the rest of us, OK, guilty of looking at ebay etc but... I stuck to my break times to do it, not when I should have been working. So that makes it OK eh!
The weathers turned really cold again, snow has been forecast and what shoes do I have to wear????.... a pair of bloody mules because I managed to catch my heel when I was closing the big Cast-iron gates at the site @ 10 days ago and just about ripped the heel of myself - no kidding, a full thickness cut at about the level of the achilles tendon, just where the heel of the shoe would sit so I cant wear anything with a closed back until it all heals up - God knows how long that will take. Luckily the gates had been painted recently so they were fairly clean, however, the wound was quite inflammed for a few days, but well demarcated so didnt feel the need to bother the GP - at least he couldn't say THAT was due to my age!.
Just covered it with tegaderm and left nature to get on with it.
Great for making people boak at work when I show them it - hard to believe some of them are qualified Nurses!
Going to a charity comedy night up at Gt. Western Rd on Wed. its the 2nd one this couple - had a bairn in the unit last year - but was too unwell to got to the last one. B & D cant make it to this one, but will try to make it to the next one in March when Frankie Boyle is doing the patter, he's funny on the telly and in his column for the Daily Retard, should be even better when he's doing a show live.

50th Birthday treat...
....to my self has been an Iphone. Does everything except make the tea if the blurb is anything to go by.
Can access You Tube when I'm near a wi-fi connection or down the town, or if the guy in the flat next door has his computer on! Knew he'd come in handy for something other than blocking the main sewer with a mophead.
Except I cant get Itunes yet. Which is a bit annoying when part of the attraction for buying the damn thing was that it also acts as an ipod, still, they have teaching sessions at the apple store in the town so I may have to sign up for one of those, meantime, I keep accessing the down load lists for all the tunes/albums I want to buy and cant get access too and its driving me mental.
The wee thing they give you for charging it is total pants too, but I've just bought a Docking thingy which should allow me to charge the fucker and use it to play tunes, when I can get onto iTunes.
Fucking technology, its easier to leave messages with a sodding can of sparay paint, even if all you're saying is TONGS YA BASS.
