Tomasz Schafernaker is a Weatherman

Tomasz Schafernaker is a Weatherman .. pleasing on the eyes but dumb as fuck.

Apparently we will see no snow in London today. Oh, what is this I see from the balcony? SNOW!

Booh

What can I say, I am back LOL :)

Been working lots of hours and ended up being poorly ill and was off work twice over a two week period.

I am working lots of hours again. What joy, at least I look happy – see :)

I have also been busy farming on FB and chatting on Eurowoof :P

Kappoww

Well today is the 11th Anniversary of when Barrie, my partner passed away. 11-years down and a lifetime of memories to go .. RIP BabyBaz

.. Is Back ..

Obviously we are now back from Sweden. We flew out on the 23rd December, and got back late evening on the 27th after the baby plane was de-iced at Linköping (wait for it) International Airport (LMAO).

We met up with Ferenc when we arrived and he gave us a lift into Norrköping, alas we never got to see him again. We spent the 24th with the family, then the 25th with the extended family.

I managed to meet Daniel on this visit, a Swede I have been chatting to on and off online for about 2-years, nice glogg and nice biscuits :) . The night before we flew back we spent time with the family so Johannes and Anna could open their Christmas gifts, this was also when KLM delivers Mats’s missing case :)

All in all it was a good trip, apprently our next time in Sweden is a driving holiday .. think me and KLM prefer each other to fly :)

Dear .. .. ..

To Whom It May Concern;

 I placed an order with you for delivery today, Saturday, 02 January 2010 which I paid an extra £9.95 for. Needless too say that having just called your helpline at 15.40 to locate my hampers i am extremely pissed.

 I have waited in all day for this delivery, expecting to start your wonderful service tomorrow. I have just been informed that my order is No. 37 in a delayed queue which is not even reflected on your forums.

 I work Monday to Friday and can not wait in for X2 hampers to arrive whenever you are ready, so request you cancel my order and refund my monies in full. Once my monies are returned in full i will be cancelling my account with you and instructing my bank to refuse any further transactions from you!

Thank you for wasting my time and money, what claims to be a great service is indeed one which lacks customer service and communication, once again thanks!

IS TIRED

[Posted via Blackberry krystian.whellans@krystian.whellans.co.uk]

I feel like I have been working tons of hours at work and need a long hard sleep. Yesterday I was in work for a few hours and feeling wrecked with the flu only to get call after call in the evening.

Welsh Harp Under Threat

PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE IN U.K.  

   URGENT, WE ARE NEARLY OUT OF TIME

THREAT TO THE WELSH HARP FROM DEVELOPERS

   Once again the Welsh Harp in under threat from developers.  Malcolm Scott, the
developer, is so determined to destroy the Welsh Harp area that he has actually
submitted 2 planning applications, one for the Brent side of the Welsh Harp and
another to the Barnet side!
   Green spaces wherever they are in the country belong to all of us, so I would
urge everyone who reads this in the UK to please help.

   We therefore need you to contact BOTH boroughs.

   Please email:

victoria.mcdonagh@brent.gov.uk      (Planning Application no: 09/3220)

   AND

planning.enquiry@barnet.gov.uk        (Planning Application no: H/03560/09)

and in just a few words, tell them you strongly object to Planning Application from
Malcolm Scott, which will totally destroy the Welsh Harp. The area must be protected
for all to enjoy.

    Also please alert your local councillors and MP and demand that they do
everything possible to stop this development.
    Malcolm Scott has submitted TWO applications to build a total of 161 houses on
both sides of the beautiful Welsh Harp.  It is absolutely appalling that
developers believe they can just destroy our environment, purely for financial
gain, with no thought for the residents of Brent and Barnet and many others for
whom the Welsh Harp is a very special place.
    There are many brown filled and derelict sites throughout the boroughs and many
houses which should be demolished and rebuilt, so it is not in anyone’s
interest, except the developers to ruin land next to such a wonderful place,
which has been designated a site of special interest and home to such a
diversity of wildlife, with a beautiful reservoir.
    Green spaces are essential for our good health and well-being and this “green
and pleasant land”  is rapidly disappearing everywhere in the country.  This
should concern everyone wherever they live.  Building houses is also extremely
important, but there are always alternative sites available, which are much more
suitable for housing developments, but the fact is it is cheaper for the
developers to destroy the environment!
    You cannot possibly have a dense development so near a nature reserve, as not
only will it totally destroy the whole area, but it will open the door for
further development.  The Welsh Harp is a unique place of peace and tranquillity
for many and this will disappear with all the extra people coming and going;
extra traffic; an increase in noise levels and severe pollution, which will be
intolerable.
    This development is also not appropriate on Metropolitan Open Land and we cannot
allow it to happen, as the impact on this nature reserve would be catastrophic.
    We protestors need more time to prepare a proper case on this most vital issue,
which affects so many people, not only from within the boroughs, but the many
visitors from all over the country who come especially when there has been a
sighting of a rare bird.
    Brent and Barnet Councils should be protecting this beautiful place and the
surrounding area, when there are many other alternatives for the developer,
which do not impact to such a degree on the environment.  We have too few green
spaces left and the two separate boroughs responsible for the area should always
speak with one voice, so that developers cannot play one off against the other,
to the detriment of the residents.
    We call for the entire area of the Welsh Harp and the surrounding areas to be
permanently protected by Brent and Barnet Councils, so that no further planning
applications are permitted in future. Why should the residents, time and time
again have to fight to protect this beautiful part of our boroughs?
    We would also ask all of you to stop buying from the Greenhouse Nursery on
Birchen Grove and the Woodfield Nursery on Cool Oak Lane, both owned by this
developer, Malcolm Scott. Why should we give our money to an organisation which
is hell-bent on destroying our environment, when there are many other nurseries
around?

The Pressure Group “Save Our Remaining Bits of Green” (SORBG).

   PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE IN THE U.K.

TFL Changes Name

Yes Londoner’s TFL is about to change it’s name from Transport for London to YFL / You’re Fucked London!

Friday there was no service on the Jubilee Line and when it started the Metropolitan Line went down

Today there was no Jubilee or Metropolitan Lines, had to go to Hendon for the Northern Line only to reach Moorgate and there is no Metropolitan, Circle or Hammersmith Lines .. so had to walk to Liverpool Street. Coming home tonight it was the same, only no Edgeware Branch!

**WARNING** It’s Alive

ikgYes people, the Master of Grandma and Spellink, Ian Keith Gomeche is back.

So if contacted record his calls, save his e-mails and do not forget to refer your local police to Grampian Police and Stonehaven Sherrif as I have done.

Whatever you do, DO NOT:

  1. Give him the time of day
  2. Lose your temper with him
  3. React to his vitriol
  4. Forget that he is unwell
  5. Forget that he is NOT a Journalist

Oh Ja .. ..

Oh ja I forgot to update: I got promoted at work – I am now Manager of a Care Unit for Forensic/Mental Health ..

Ah .. ..

Well what can I say .. I have been mega busy to do anything remotely social.

So the changes being I now work in Mental Health / Forensics in junior management and am enjoying it. However, as with everywhere you have politics. I was based in Palmers Green and now tout my wares in Harold Wood with a funny manager *no comment other than he is certainly not Salvation Army material.

These days I get to the gym when I can, but at least I still get there. I need do some serious work for travels in June. Mats Åke wants to visit friends in Sweden for midsummers – so herring ahoy!

In my last job I managed to use the network to track down some drug induced boi who I used to work with. So have met up with him again and hopefully will meet often .. kinda cool to chat / drink with .. blast from the past.

And We’re Back .. ..

Mats Åke and I were in Sweden for the weekend. We flew out on Friday courtesy of the scary RyanAir. They have changed the times of the flight, but the flygbussen have not changed the timetable. We arrived around 9.30 and the bus arrived at 12.30 lunctime.

We spent the weekend in Norrköping with Mats Åke’s Momma Inga, and spent time with his sister and brother in law. we also met up with our Hungarian friend Ferenc who lives in Linköping. We then had waffles outdoors under the hot hot hot cloudless sky.

On Sunday we visited Christina and Håkan in Söderköping with their daughters and had a great meal and the company was good. We watched some old films, including some of Johannes as a baby – too sweet.
