The night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas
and I'm drinking beer.
At my brother's house,
the gang is all here!

Woohoo!

Check it out!

This is a link to Rise of the Evil Sock Puppets an animated gif that I created. A bit crude but it is a first attempt. Any comments are appreciated.

The GIMP

Quick break post - I now have a copy of the GIMP program on my pc, yay I am a happy geek!

Yup yup yup

I am at work (on a tea break so I am doing this leagally o-kaaaaaaaaay!) Life is good so far. Still single but am dealing with it, working hard (generally) and other stuff. On the news side I am heading home in February for two weeks summer sun and fun hoo-rah!

Ja well no eal nes per se so I will sign off until something interesting happens blegh!

Heyyy this post was about nothing so I am now one of millions who write about absolutely nothing of any interest - I feel sooooo well average!

A new post (and not just a quick add-in)

Shock and horror I know a real post - I have been really lax about adding to my blog... sorry! Life has been really hectic lately and looks as if it will continue in that vein for some time to come. I am still working (yay!), still alive (yay!), still single (no yay!). I am becoming more of a fan-boy geek than I tohught possible, my last purchase was a 'Spooky the thing what squeeks' - if you don't know what that is go here: Squeak-age to find out.

On the news front I should be Chartered by April/May next year. Yes Librarians can also become Chartered - not just architects and accountants we at least provide a good public service (not that we get any respect nooooooooooooo! that would just be asking too much!). I am really enjoying it over here - winter is creeping in the temperature drops steadily and the nights have closed in I love it! The whole being single sing really sucks ass though everywhere I look I see happy couples having a good time but me well yes I am having a good time actually, now that I think about it I am not looking for a g/f, partner or significant other I like being on my own I don't need some-one else! I am glad we had this talk I am feeling much better - thanks!

My collection of geekish things has grown - I have the complete set of Futurama and Invader Zim also have Bubba Ho-Tep and am waiting for Hellboy to be released. I will also own The Incredibles when it comes out on DVD now that was an EXCELLENT film totally unlike most Disney flicks of late mmmmmmmmm the Incredibles rocks! I saw it with the Kiwi connection (Natalie) it is good having someone nearby that has similar tastes in entertainment, she is currently in Holland visiting Eric - her b/f another nice guy we get on really well which helps and he appreciates my sense of humour (shock!).

You are Cuthbert! Even though you are Roland's best
friend, your personality is almost the
opposite. You love being surrounded by others,
and act most natural when in the center of
attention. Sometimes people don't understand
your habit of making a joke out of things, and
will become impatient with you. Deep inside you
are dependable though, so when the going gets
tough, show people that you can be counted on!

Halloween

Good party last night - woke up at 4.30am this morning ona flight of stairs at my brother's place. I thought I did quite well on only about two hours sleep yesterday and all the alcohol last night mmmmmmmmmmm!

All Hallows eve tonight but seeing as most fol have to work tomorrow it is just a quiet evening (recovery time). The clocks went back this morning it is now black as pitch outside brrrr it really feels like winter now.

Anyway must dash will update again soon.

Mean Fiddler Halloween Birthday

11pm - 3:30am hard rock, goth, heavy metal with liberal doses of half-naked burlesque-style dancers on stage and a guy eating (sort of anyway) razorblades and hammering nails into his face. Damn good fun wnet with Natalie the kiwi connection. Got a Marilyn Manson single (Personal Jesus)and a bit of whiplash and temporary hearing loss but damn it was a good party!

Mean Fiddler

Ended up spending a bit of time with another Matthew and his g/f Morgan they were dressed up as Ichi the Killer and an extra from Battle Royale - two excellent Japanese films - highly recommended!

Am at work now, I had about two hours of sleep so I am ok fortunately I am only working until 1pm so I can go home and do stuff (shop, sleep, get ready for my brother's halloween party tonight) yay!

BIG NEWS

My best friend - Clint told me that I must go home to SA in June next year as I am going to be the godfather to his and Carmen's yet unborn child! This is amazing news, he was over the moon when I spoke to them on Saturday. So next year I will be going home for several weeks hooray!

Shaun Chill Dude!

Hey buddy chill out! Dont be so stressed! I lost those pics years ago (I think) probably in my room back in Kalk Bay will search next time I am back home (June 2005).

Shaun Kennedy

It is not a good idea for people to swear at other people on a weblog - the sworn at person may have pictures of the swearer in drag (from a halloween party a few years ago)and these pictures may just may end up on a website somwehere... you never know!

hee hee

A friend of mine back home

The guy on the right with his tongue out is a buddy of mine named Shaun. He is still in Cape Town (the most beautiful place on earth). People used to say we looked alike - needless to say neither of us could quite see the resemblance.

I... still... live!

Hi after being awaf from this for a while I am back!!! - Scotland was awesome I want to go back maybe to stay and work I do not know... hmmmm decisions decisions!

My parents are back in sunny South Africa there month here was the quickest month I have ever experienced. It was great having them over here. In the month they were here we did more touristy stuff than I have done since I arrived, it waqs great doing it with family it wouldnt have been the same if I had done it on my own.

In other news - work is going well I am very busy working in the Sidcup stock reduction team (pulling tons of books of the shelves in the library) along with all the other work I am busy on - I am trying to resurrect the Teenage Reading Group I run at Thamesmead Library - it was going really well until all the other work stuff interferred. Jen and I have broken up - actually that happened a while ago but I am now getting used to that unfortunately so I am single.

I will hopefully post more regularly I am trying to regulate my schedule (some hope) and it may allow some more time we shall see...

Scotland

Off to Scotland tomorrow - will update sometime!

The big giant head

So anyway a few days ago I was rather annoyed, there was no MAJOR reason for this except that outside Canary Wharf Station there was a sculpture that my friends and I nicknamed ‘The Big Giant Head’ – for obvious reasons (it was basically a bronze sculpture of a giant head). The nickname came from the television series ‘Third Rock from the Sun’. This was the meeting point for friends and family whenever we wanted to get together in Canary Wharf, conversations used to go like: “ Ok so we’ll meet round half-past seven at the big giant head!” Silly I know but it was fun.

So the other day I am leaving CW station and to my horror the head was gone and in its place was a… well it looked like constipated Polar Bear – it was all angles and steel. It ruined the whole in-joke as “Hey I’ll meet you near the constipated bear!” really lacks a certain je ne sais quoi (I have almost no French so that may be spelled incorrectly). I finally did locate the head – it had been moved to the side of the Lehmann Brothers building and put on a smaller plinth. When the head was where it was people could lean up against the big wooden box-like thing it was placed on, the Bear just sits on a slab of granite. I saw a child climbing all over it the other evening it was really depressing. Sooner or later someone is going to run into one of the pointy bits. That night I mourned for about ten minutes then fell asleep.

fyi

I got Zim vol.2 yesterday hooray! I am a happy little fanboy I now do dance of joy!

I will have it soooooon!

Then I will be happy once more again (I am happy now but this will be a different kind of happy)

Oh yesssssssssssss! (I know I know sad but really I couldnt care mwa ha ha ha ha!)

Last night

Abbey Wood station just after 8 o'clock two trains were cancelled. It was hilarious, all the people on the platform whipping out their mobile phones "Ah dont fackin' believe it the fackin' trains cancelled, the next one is delayed. You come over 'ere right? It will be quicker!" Things like that, it warmed me to the cockles of my little heart - Africa time on British rail, I was just sitting there laughing quietly to myself.

That said there have been a few times when I have been caught on the wrong side of delayed and cancelled trains, but still I was not in a rush to go partying last night so I was amused *grins*

Bck to work - I feel better already!

Heyyyyyyyyyy it is my birthday tomorrow I am turning [classified] woo-hoo! My parents are over here in the UK so I will have a family birthday for the first time since 2002 great stuff!

Been doing Reading Scheme certificate hand-outs all day today fun stuff! I am on leave next week I need the break I am feeling a little too stretched-out and that is not good. I have a black mood brewing but I hope t will dissapate I am really not in the mood to be moody for the next long while I have had enough of that lately!

Anyway enough self-pity I must buck up and be on my best it is my last few hours of being [classified].

News - A Lambeth Library Service will be looking at one of my poems during a reading group session there. The poem is titled 'Sister Mary Margaret Joyce McTaggart' - it is about nuns. It is on my writing blog - which does not seem to be available at the moment so I can't link to it - sorry maybe next time.

Hang on I've got it here it is: words of mind it is somewhere in there go on look you know you want to! Also in there is a series of short pieces I am working on - the working title is: Morality tales for nasty children.

In other news and more importantly my parents are arriving tomorrow - hooray they will be here in the UK for a whole month it has almost been an entire year since I saw them last. I am so excited I can't wait!

Drinking decaf - it feels like cheating. Am At North Heath Library today acting as a stand-in scale 2+. My head hurts (this is getting to be a familiar refrain) I hit it on a low-flying towel dispenser in the tea-room.

Monday afternoon drag - I think I have lost a friend - Amy took a work-related matter personally I sent her an e-mail explaining the whys and wherefores and havent heard from her she feels betrayed. Life goes that way.

Well back to work - until the next time.

Punched in da head!!!

So Sunday evening (round 21:40ish) I was walking home from the Crossharbour DLR when out of nowhere WHAM! Some arsehole hits me in the back of the head and runs off cackling like the inbred country-joe motherfucker he is. I hope he contracts v.d. and dies horrible as blood-red butt-crabs rip his intestines and scrotal sack to shreds! Bitter? Hell-yes I am bitter!

Anyway the damage: concussion (mild), nosebleed (to be honest this may have been a coincidence but it was too close to be totally sure). ANYway I call the police to make a report, they send officers over who arrive just before 1 in the a.m. to take a report, they asked me if I had been smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol as I was a bit y'know... ummmm sapcy - well I had just been punched in the head, but no no booze or waccy-baccy. They offer to call me an ambulance (cue bad joke of OK you are an ambulance! har har!) I decline but promise that I will get checke dout as soon as I can the next day. Luckily no lasting damage although my sted still aches (the ache was helped along by me whacking my head on an overhanging cupboard this morning at Crayford Library). Luckily this time I have strong pills - the little blue liquid filled ones that look like Matrix props. mmmmmmmmm drugs!

NOTE: Kids don't take drugs, drugs are bad mmmmkay! Except the ones doctors give you to make you all better!

gmail

I have gmail! Yesssssssssssss! Geek heaven - I know I know sad bastard that I am but hey I have wanted one for absolute ages. A shout out of thanks goes to my good friend Natalie who organised it for me. Huzzah!

Anyway back to work - am at Erith Library today.

*he he he he he!*

I saw a fox last night

Well yes... the title says it all really! It was orange and skittish. Looked very healthy though and stopped to give me the once-over before trotting off.

V 2004

OK so it was almost a week ago but i havent had time to write so here goes...

The Pixies - yessssssssssssssss aha ha ha ha ha! I saw them live! A thing I thought I'd never do it was worth it definately!!! Also there was Muse, Snow Patrol, The Strokes, Pink (surprisingly good in real life), Faithless, N*E*R*D, and a whole bunch of others that I can't remember off the top of my head.

The toilets were really vile - I saw a couple sneak into one for a quickie - they must have been desperate or total strangers who couldn't risk taking each other back to their respective camp areas.

So what did I get out of V? A Pixies shirt, whiplash, a pulled knee and a twisted ankle - all signs that I had a good time.

Damn it was good!!!

I have a headache

Last night went out with people from work to a Chinese place in Welling to celebrate Steve's 21st and Amy's 20th. Met up with Steve at the New Cross turnpike (pub) for drinks there were supposed to be others but they bailed without letting us know so we drank alone until Lucy called us from the restaurant. I had another drink there, we had a fun evening pegging the waiters and each other - it was Amy's idea so she is the Queen of Pegs (simple minds simple pleasures I know...)

I left them all there at 10:30 and caught the bus to Lewisham (the bus of freaks) one guy right at the back was muttering and swearing each time the bus stopped at a stop considering he was just behind me in was a bit nerve-wracking but he got off in Blackheath but there were several other odd-looking people on board.

I eventually got to bed at 12:30 in a very fuzzy state, I woke this morning at 7:30ish and had a shower. I had the headache then and still have it now, it is hanging around like a little cloud of doom.

My neck is also sore!

But all that aside I have actually got quite a bit of work done so I am (relatively) happy. I would be happier at home but bills to pay and all that - no I jest I do really enjoy my job. I am also hungry - there is a staff farewell upstairs and I can smell the food being eaten but I am on 2nd lunch (woohoo!) Who is leaving? Gill - one of the Children's Librarians, it will be a shame to see her go so I will keep my eyes closed! :-P My sense of humour really sucks majorly but hey it is mine and I enjoy it!

Hey, wow...

My head hurts

Every now and then I get this horrendous stabbing pain in my brain - it feels as if someone has hammered a spike through the top right-hand side of my head and started twisting the nail around; it lasts a few seconds and then fades.

Ouch

Not quite a splitting headache more a stabbing one. I feel an urge to draw coming on again - when I get home this evening I will start up on my cartoons again - it has been far too long since I last put together anything meaningful. I must finish off my rough sketches and start inking them, I have missed this creative drawing urge - I have been doing nothing much but writing lately see here.

Almost time to get back to work - yay!

I, Robot

Good film - not earth-shattering but definately watchable! I saw it last Saturday, the trouble is I have also read most of Asimov's fiction so I spent a large part of the movie trying to figure out what part came from which story. That did not work too well as I started reading him many (well a few) years ago in my early teens (from about 12 to now although it has been a while since I picked up one of his books). I can remember the stories and characters but not the titles. The first book of his I can remember had a robot sleeping on a beach on the cover, I don't know why that memory sticks in my mind, that evening my mom and dad were going out to do whatever parents go out to do - I was at an age where I was not too curious as to what my parents did when they went out.

I also had fun spotting the product placements - JVC, Audi, US Robotics (I thought they made modems and computer stuff - it seems that in the future they will make robots), I could not see what make of motorcycle Will Smith was riding. There may have been others but in the end I just settled back to enjoy the show. One thing did puzzle me though - all the old stuff was in remarkably good condition although that can be explained away by the fact that collectors can be anal retentive about condition.

When WS went to visit his granny it reminded me of the Matrix when they all trooped off to visit the Oracle.

Fun film go and see it! Tell them that Matthew sent you and they will go "Who? Who is this Matthew person?"

I ate an ant

For the Big Bug Show end spectacular Leaf Cutter Ants were brought out

It tasted a lot better than the mopane worm but it may have been cooked less.

V Festival 2004 & a few other things

V is coming ever closer - I spoke to Pete (my brohter for those of you who dont know)
yesterday and he told me that his car has died and been junked in Wales so we have to organise a new vehicle. Will probably be a rental or something just so we can get there and back.

The Pixies are playing there this year as are Muse, Snow Patrol and a number of other bands who escape my memory at the moment. I am really looking forward to the Pixies though.

My mom and dad arrive in a month today - can't wait to see them, it will have been almost a year since I saw them last. They will be staying with Pete who lives on the other side of London (I am in the east).

Work has been fun - was busy deleting books and suchlike most of the morning. Quiet and boring day otherwise. The bug man is coming to Thamesmead today (last mentioned on Thursday). I will add more when something interesting happens.

Author hint

Try Martin Scott - author of the 'Thraxas' series, well worth it for those that like crime, detection, magic and rampant alcoholism with a dose of world-weary cynicism.

Friday 15:51

It is a wee bit hot today but hey - I have had worse heat! At least I am better than my friend Amy - I heard she had a bad bit of chicken at a scout camp she was on...

Working this weekend - yay! Am on until eight tonight but I enjoy it. The Bug Show is coming here tomorrow - so at least I'll get a free feed of bugs, mmmmmm bugs! Well not much on at the moment so I'll get back to work

The Big Bug Show

The BBS was just at Welling Library doing his show for the Summer Reading Scheme (The Reading Rollercoaster) cockroaches, millipedes, giant snails, bird eating spiders and Mopane Wom snacks for those who wanted to try and eat one (I did). For those that do not know mopane worms look like this:

Do not worry it had been cooked, it was like eating a piece of bark! I saw the show last year at Thamesmead Library and that time I ate crickets - also fried. The worm was better tasting I thought.

So anyway...

I have created another blog to hold my new creative written work it is Stream of unconscious a bit sparse at the moment but I hope to add at least two to three pieces a week (one if I am a bit creatively slow).

Coming soon...

oooh yes I am definately going to see this one!

Interesting...

Guerilla Drive-Ins

Now this is awesome!
Start Your Own Guerilla Drive-In
Guerilla Drive-Ins are springing up everywhere from LA to NY, in big cities and little towns. People are rejecting the idea of the $10 movie (twenty with popcorn and a soda) and embracing the idea of the do-it-yourself movie free to the community.
The Guerilla Drive-In collective is a loosely-knit groups of folks who love movies, are involved in radical change, and are interested in reclaiming public and unused spaces. We maintain a master list of films that we've all contributed our favorite subversive movies to. We are constantly adding to and subtracting films from the master list

Young men are increasingly turning to self-harm in response to abuse and confusion about their role in society, doctors have said.
The warning comes as a new set of guidelines is issued urging doctors and nurses to treat self-harmers with the same respect as any other patient.

Anti-social commentary #2

Have you ever noticed on the trains, underground and docklands light rail that during busy periods whenever you want to disembark there is (usually) a large group of people crowding round the doors waiting to push their way on. I mean it is logical to think that if you give all the people on board the carriages enough space to get off they will clear out that much more quickly than if they are only let off one at a time through a narrow corridor constructed of irritating, impatient people that ignore the repeated requests to let passengers disembark before trying to get on.

I think that I will start carrying a cactus whenever I use public transport – it may work better than Moses at the Red Sea!

The fairy feller's masterstroke

I really want to see this painting in real life. It was painted by a mad Victorian artist named Richard Dadd who murdered his father and was locked up for life. For more about him go here.
The painting itself hangs somewhere in the Tate Gallery.

Fahrenheit 9/11

Saw it last night - everything good about it has already been said so I wont rehash that stuff. I will say however that I am glad not to be an American after seeing that. The film was funny and harrowing and well-worth seeing. I will own a copy when it gets released on dvd. Also the soundtrack was awesome!

I am a normal human worm baby!

and if you don't know where that quote comes from then shame on you!
Invader Zim is awesome! I have just watched a couple of episodes with my Kiwi friend Natalie. It was created by Jhonen Vasquez a vastly underrated cartoonist - he also created Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee amongst other no less worthy characters. But Invader Zim ROCKS! There is no way it is for children which is funny seeing as it was shown by Nickelodeon a cartoon network that caters to the childrens market. Sadly only two seasons were filmed before it was cancelled for being too different, but hey at least I have it and love it as it deserves (sad??? moi??? Nooooooo now why would you think that?)

Absinthe

I got me a bottle of the green fairy - Yeah baby! Spoon and all, no glass though but I have plenty of those.

Pet hate (one of a few - not too many)

When I am walking at a nice pace down the street, at work or where-ever and all of a sudden the person or persons in front of me come to a dead stop (usually blocking the only free bit of walking space to the front) and dithers around or does a bit of window-shopping or whatever. That really gets to me and it happens with frightening regularity.

Hell is coming back

Hell is returning – the artwork destroyed in the Saatchi blaze is being recreated

"We're going to make a second version, a more extensive, updated `Hell,' " Dinos said. "There are a lot of things that didn't go into the first `Hell.' This has given us a second opportunity to revisit it."

Their new "Hell," the brothers said, will incorporate the many world events since the original's completion in 2000: 9/11, the war in Iraq, and more generally torture and terrorism. "It all kind of seems so obvious now," Jake said. "We're looking two years down the line. We won't allow anyone to see it until it's made."

Source: NY Times 22/07

I think that hell being destroyed in an unplanned fire is hilarious -

Satan: "Hey Beelzebub, what the heck are you doing smoking, don't you know how flammable this whole place is?"

Beelzebub: "Ok, Ok I'll stub it out!"

Sound of flames roaring

Satan: "Noooooooooooooooooo!"

Thursday

So anyway I am back at work today – tired! I really must start going to bed at a civilised time so my fault it is then. At Welling again, was at Thamesmead yesterday morning - talk about concrete wasteland. It was a good morning though!

Had a meeting in the afternoon about Chartering (yes believe it or not even Librarians can have chartered status) then stayed late to work on a proposal I am putting together for online sources in the library. I am currently designing a reference website for the library, the working model can be found on my links section, it is still in the design phase but it does work.

What can I look forward to today? - stock-work and lots of it, withdrawing and sending books to other branches in the borough (it is an exciting life that I lead), also if I am lucky a bit of work on the reference enquiries desk… who knows?

Sadism & Masochism explained (Amy this is for you)

Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person. Medically it is considered to be a paraphilia. The word is derived from the Marquis de Sade, a prolific french writer of sadistic novels.

The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for being beaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure. The name is derived from the 19th century author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, known for his novel Venus in Furs that dealt with highly masochistic themes.

The words are now commonly used to describe personality traits in an emotional, rather than sexual sense. Although it is quite different from the original meaning, this usage is not entirely inaccurate. There is quite frequently a strong emotional aspect to the sexual desires, taking the form of a need for domination or submission—the desire to be controlled, or to control another. It is not unusual for this element to overtake or supplant entirely the desire for pain, known individually as algolagnia.

It is often agreed that this desire for dominance or submission is in fact the driving force behind sadomasochism, with the giving and receiving of pain acting only as an active stimulation to reinforce those feelings. This view is supported by the nature of sadomasochistic behavior. A masochist does not take pleasure in any form of pain, only in pain received under the pretext of enforcing authority, and typically only that of a sexual nature. Likewise, a sadist usually only takes pleasure in pain that is inflicted for reasons of punishment and control, and most often for the indirect pleasure of the masochist. Many sadomasochistic activities involve only mild pain or discomfort. Often they are focused primarily on roleplay.

Anti-social commentary #1

I think that the parents of children that indulge in anti-social behaviour should be beaten - not the children themselves it is not their fault that they are little (or not-so-little) bastards. We should go back to the source - THE PARENTS, each time a child runs riot burning things, stealing and being generally offensive a special squad of hand-picked and duly elected members of the public (after all this is a democracy) should go round the the parents' house with a nice stick (we should make use of the rule of thumb). Personally I feel that after a few good whippings parents will start to take an active interest in what their children do and begin being proper parents.

After a few years we should see an improvement; but let us not stop there we should also hold M.P.'s, councillors and even the Prime Minister accountable for what they do in office. If we catch them lying, cheating or doing any one of the many things that our elected officials are prone to then again we call on a duly appointed squad of 'Public whips' to set up a public floggery and whip their asses! A brief note I think that woman MP's should be whipped by women and their male counterparts should be whipped by men - this is to prevent any complaints of sexual discrimination. The politicians all receive fat salaries and appear to be accountable to no-one - I have no problem with what they are paid but if they are naughty they should be held accountable by the people - ie us! Let them beware for the people's justice will be armed with a big stick!

Hey cool I just tried this:

The Relief of Welling

Heyyyyyyyy guess what! I am on relief (big surprise). I really don’t mind I enjoy queries – the more difficult the better I t makes it all the more interesting well it does usually sometimes you get a really bolshy type who is not interested in talking and will just rant. They make my trigger finger itch (it is a reason why librarians are not allowed to carry side-arms at work. (Note the last one was a joke!)

Tuesday

Yes I'm back - back again. Two days with no internet access I can't stand it - no I am not addicted only slightly crazed. I love my online access but only use it for good (as long as it is good for me). At Welling Library today may be on until eight maybe not... still waiting they dont like using me as relief only a sa last resort. I was once told that when they ask for me they are scraping the bottom of the barrel but hey I dont mind - at least I know where I am in life!

So on to work, more later!

Extreme Body Art

I held my heart in my hands for 10 minutes while the cameras captured the event from every angle.  The cameras filmed the event from every angle and fibre-cams were inserted into my chest cavity to capture the stretched blood vessels that kept my heart connected to my body.
 
Gently I pressed the first of three surgical steel disks onto the exposed muscle. The specially prepared superglue made it adhere to the surface immediately, quickly I added the other two, each inscribed with the time and day of this momentous occasion. 

 The surgeon moved in to aid me in reinserting my heart into the chest cavity, her eyes bored into mine – I could feel her anger.  She felt that this was a waste of valuable operating time and a misuse of medical technology.  It was a pity that she had no appreciation of art and the boundaries that today I had single-handedly extended.

Sherbert Lemons

Just had my first one - not earth shattering I know but hey after years of reading about them I finally got to suck one (just hit the sherbert) mmmmmmmmmmm! 
 
I know I know - my life must be pretty sad if I blog about which sweets I have but hey... y'know I do it because I can.  At least I am not talking about the weather (overcast and getting dark with a few rumblings of thunder - in case anyone is interested, this is England after all) whoa just started raining! Sad sad sad!
