Today is going to be one of the longest days ever, I can just feel it. I wanted a day off to go to Harrow with Yak and Aidan, but I have to stay at work to answer the phones. I am going to keep a log of every call that I take today here, which will be added to as I receive calls:

Call 1 – 9.10: A gentleman rings to find out where he can hire a bike in Maidstone to go on a bike ride. Very strange since we have nothing to do with hiring bikes – I think the number was a misprint. So I went on Yell and found the number for Bewl Water so he could ring them and see if they hire bikes at this time of year.

Call 2 – 10.55: Becky rings to ask what time I will be home.

Call 3 – 12.27: A call from someone wanting to know how long the roadworks in Teston will be there for. Again nothing to do with my department, but I kind heartedly put him through to Maidstone Highway Unit.

So as you can see it was a total waste of a day. On top of this, there is a business support team who we sit next to who can take all our calls for us. I hope you had a good day team shovel load.

On a more interesting note I now have 19 items on ebay. Look at this one.

Seriously what has he done to his face. He looks like a seal. It’s art you know. Well ok maybe it is art. But firstly what kind of idiot practices art on their face. And secondly I don’t think he’s very good at art. Either that or he has very bad tase.

Ok if I am honest I do actually like some of his music. And not in a cheesy I’m cool becasue I’m hip and like Billy Jean. I do actually think he has written some good songs.

Whether or not he is a child abuser I really don’t know, so I won’t bother to even speculate.

But what really fascinates me his his strange face. I think if we are honest we all find people who look different quite fascinating – midgets or people with fingers/hand/arms missing. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that – you are bound to find something unusual interesting. But you have to pretend that you don’t becasue it’s not accecptable to society, plus it is rude to stare at people.

But Michael Jackson is different. He has done this to himself. On purpose. He wants to look like that. And that’s fine he can look like whatever he wants. But if he’s going to be famous and live the life he does he has to put up with people telling him that he looks like a freak. Which he clearly does.

That’s a plaster on his nose by the way, not his skin falling off. Yet.

From a website: “This is the end result of millions of dollars spent on plastic surgery and surgical skin color alterations. This image is undoctored. Its origin is unknown. Sent to me from a fan.”

Yep, more stuff on ebay. Who likes football? Go and buy my merchandise. Rudi…. It’s Arsenal… You loves it.

Seb took this photogrpah. I think it is amazing. Summer is on it’s way. I can smell it in the air. I fear lots of rain though. Watch the Ash and Oak.

Dirt Lads has a couple of updates. A video and a really good page of trampoline, rope swing, ghetto, dark trails, summer trails and random stuff. Go there.

I thought I was going to Harrow with Yak this week, but it looks like everyone at my office is off work so I can’t again. I keep changing my story like an elevator, but I really want to go so. It’s not my fault.

Yeh so for lots of people it’s half term. Happy holiday lucky people. Go and dig.

Oak before Ash you’re in for a splash. Ash before Oak, you’re in for a soak.

One of the funnest stages of trails has to be looking for a new place. We found one of the best places ever. Indoors.

The sky was really good this weekend. And the sun came out which was long overdue.


Found this barn too but it’s not a lot of good as it is too small.

We were digging and saw some dog walkers so we hid. It was fun.

Go here and tell Ashford council that they need a new skatepark. The town is supposed to be doubling in size over the next few years, and they are threatening to turn the current skatepark site into a lake, so we need to start making our voices heard.

I don’t like my new camera it takes horrible out of focus pictures. I hardly have any good sittingbourne ones.

Also my flash wouldn’t work with it which sucks too.

Yesterday was really fun – lots of tricks going on at sittingbourne and we had the place to ourselves for four hours. Then we went to Burham and I hurt my ankle very badly. I thought it might be broken so this morning I went to A&E with my sick wife, but it was just a bad sprain – torn ligaments. It really hurts though.
