Nameless

So I can’t help but feel a bit bored at the moment. Don’t get me wrong I’m loving being able to see the guys every week and being able to see Lydia without getting a 2 hour, expensive train ride is just about the best thing ever but I’m bored of Nottingham already. Work is pretty monotonous and the hours are a bit of a killer. I don’t think I’d mind but at the end of the month my hours aren’t actually all that much more than I would get at a normal job. In-fact they are slightly less. Still I enjoy the social side of it all and getting to see bands/gigs for free is a bonus. Shame most of the gigs I want to see are when I’m working. I think that might be an evil plan by the management to reduce costs. The tips aren’t that bad to say it’s a pretty cheap and cheerful club with me usually getting about £3 from actual tips and then finding another £5 on the floor throughout the night. That at least pays for a few beers not to mention the taxi/bus fare home. Still I’m really looking forward to getting back to Manchester to start Uni again.
Last week I went to Manchester to start arranging the fresher’s week this year. For those of you that have no idea what I’m on about try searching back through the blog’s or just click here to read about last year. To summarize though, I plan on arranging a weeks’ long pub crawl over 5 areas over the 5 nights of fresher’s week with free drinks and entry to a club every night. So far, with the help of nick we have got most of the pubs interested and some of the clubs have confirmed. Only 5th ave are yet to confirm and that’s coz the general manager is on holiday so he didn’t want to confirm anything till he got back. Anyway the preliminary nights out are looking like so.

Friday night is an absolute awesome night and I think you’d get the ticket price back alone in that night. Pure is like the best club outside of London and all the other bars are so classy its like doing the high-end lace market. Flipping expensive too. Still this year we have a budget of about 8grand so I can’t help but feel it might be no problem. Especially seeing as the Tuesday might be scrapped in place of an international evening with no loss to the budget. I personally think we can drink £2,000 of beer in one night for 4 days. Suffice to say I might be hung-over during registration.
This week my parents have been away walking in France while me and my brother look after the house. Actually that’s a joke coz my brother hasn’t done a fucking thing. We’re both allocated a budget of £20 for food which doesn’t go far when you don’t even have any margarine in the house, never mind potatoes or vegetables and since I’ve spent all mine on proper food my bro now has complete control on if we get bread or milk for the next few days. That means I’m living on water or spending my own money till they get back. Still them being gone isn’t all bad. Sunday the house hosted a massive poker tournament in which I cam fourth (beating Alex again), along with a riotous game of charades and ultimate jenga. Plus Lydia has basically been living round my house so I get to see loads and loads of her which is awesome.
Anyway till next time,
Sam out.

Spam is only cool coz its got my name in it.

Stupid Email. My email seems to messing me around at the moment. Some emails I seem to receive in super quick time, but some arrive late or not at all. I therefore blame this blog being a day late on my email. The reason being that I usually write the blog when I get the email telling me Alex has published his new one and I feel guilty that I’m too lazy to do mine. Anyway here comes that little bit of writing to make that guilt go away. Unfortunately my life is pretty boring at the moment. I haven’t really achieved all that much outside of work and work isn’t all that interesting to write about, unless you like stories of pill heads asking for water. I will however enlighten you with my glorious total of £14 earnt will sweeping up the dance floor on Friday night. All those drum and bass heads ought to learn to buy trousers with zips. On a separate note it appears “earnt” is not part of the English language. I could have sworn it was! Answers on a postcode or more useful is if you could comment in the section below this post.
This brings me to my second point and maybe my first rant in quite a while here on the home of big Sam-t.
Spam…….who the fuck writes this shit. I have no idea who opens this stuff, never mind actually buying the crap. I have been inundated this last week with loads of spam regarding enlarging my penis through a number of methods. Not to mention the ability to help a nice business man from Nigeria set up an import export business. Think we’re trading in my money for nothing as far as I can tell. I mean seriously who buys into this crap. Spam bots are currently top of things most likely to go to their own special place in hell. I mean who the hell writes a bot to trawl around personal forums and write in comment boxes such useful links like “lesbian rape”. I mean if I’m honest I did actually have to think for a while about how the above as possible and nearly succumbed to temptation and clicked the link just out of sick curiosity. Like your inability to turn away when some guy gets blown up or a kitten gets fired into a tree. Humm or is that just me being sick and twisted. And some people say the internet is a bad thing. Discuss\….
For the record I’ve never seen a kitten hit a tree but I can imagine it’s out there somewhere. Anyway to sum up……stop spamming my shout box you Gaylord’s.
For the rest of this week I am working till late so I will probably not be going out either. Wednesday I will be found in rescue room’s main bar, Thursday in stealth for club NME, Friday in stealth for spectrum and then stealth vs. rescue on Saturday. I think I remember Luke saying he thought I was on commission for the number of times I tell all the guys to go to stealth vs. rescue but in my genuine opinion its one of the best nights out in Nottingham and its dirt cheap. Sunday till Thursday I’m away in Manchester then back to do Thursday till Saturday at work again. I will hopefully have quite a lot to say when I get back form Manchester as I will have been sorting out freshers week which will be eventful. As you can see though, moaning at the boss about the lack of hours has been succesful.
Till next time
Sam out
