Coffee Theory

I assume most of you have heard the Theory about coffee 3 sips and your addicted, today i got the chance to test this theory as you all know i don't really like hot drinks.

My Team Leader Chris went and got a coffee for me and himself and got in trouble by our manager Colin, he comes to me gives it to me and tells me he got in trouble.

A few moments later Colin walks past me and says "I don't think Chris put any sugar in your coffee" i reply with "Oh well i don't like coffee" he laughs and walks off.

So i thought well i'm cold i might as well try this theory.

1st sip: this tastes bad
2nd sip: still tastes bad
3rd sip: this is awful

I thought i'd give it the benefit of the doubt and try a 4th sip

4th sip: awful not taking another sip

So looks like that theory is a bunch of hogwash

Pedal Boats



If you follow my blog and or read my blog you'll know i ranted about pedal boats in a big way, or most of the boat related "rides" (I use the term ride loosely).

Well in a stroke of pure boredom on the pedal boats i managed to save 2 dragonflies from downing or reproducing gone wrong, so i took a few photos,
Pretty bad ass Dragonflies, at one point i had one on the end of a stick flapping its wings then it flew away, i felt like the insect god.

All of this was helped by the fact it was the middle of the week and there are no customers so i stand around entertaining myself.

Woah Wait A Second


You think i'm finished well i'm not, i have one more complaint.

The new Ranger, or the Nuggets which the found in the stupid bin, all of them are soooo sooo stupid, including the blood foreign ones, as Andy Put well

"The Foreigners don't talk and the English ones are special"

I really couldn't agree more, i wish i was joking but one of them looks like Luigi
If we had green uniforms he would look completely like him, the only downside he is a complete moron, and confuses me with another worker after telling him my name more than 3 times, i learnt there stupid names they could learn mine.

One more thing these bastard new people work on all the good rides where i want to be, then management says we need people to run these rides, you hire them a few weeks before the season train them up on most of them not 2 or 3. so that me or someone else has to do Bumper Boats twice a week.

But with bad comes good right?

Well yeah there are still some good staff from seasons past, and all of the foreigners from last season who returned are capable and a good talk. There is only one good new Foreigner and thats Norbert (But pronounced Norbear) Doesn't speak much english but when he does hilarity ensues, and always greets with a handshake, not thats how you want to be greeted.

And if you ask why i still work there after all this complaints, i say this.

Easier than being a waiter, and more fun than washing dishes.

And of course the title 'Ranger'

A Wild Post Appears



I really don't have much to blog about anymore my life is in such a routine that everything is the same and here it is.

Sunday: Bumper Boats
Monday: Pedal Boats/Toboggan
Tuesday:Bumper Boats
Wednesday: Some Random Work Area Normally A Lame Location
Thursday: Relax
Friday: Band
Saturday: Relax

As you can see i am a boat master at work, and I fucking hate(!!!) It so much, And i have

my reasons, Incoming bullet points.

  • My hands getting destroyed from the ropes and poles.
  • Being allergic to a random oil
  • Leading to lots of skin rashes
  • All the boats coming in at once and then getting off without me helping
  • Being on my own all bloody day
  • Getting wet with water which can be best described as 20% animal faeces
  • Dealing with fuse after broken fuse
  • Having Lady Gaga stuck in my head for hours (that one is soul crushing)

To be fair i'd rather to the pedal boats over the bumper boats requires less effort but more pain. Its a double edge sword. However there are some good points.

  • Getting to watch the ducks all day, getting all the ducks are swimming in the water stuck in my head all day.
  • Not having to interact with the new stupid rangers, or nuggets as they are known
  • Not having someone tell me what to do
  • The nice scenery at pedal boats
And i think thats it really.
  • NO ONE HAS THIS MUCH FUN ON THE BUMPER BOATS, EVER.
See what a nice view, kinda.

And thats the end of my rambly complainy blog, hooray.

The Reason I'm Back

So on Friday i was just relaxing at George's house on his iPad and googled myself and i ended up at my blog and started reading it, Duffield arrived as i was reading it. At that point me and him decided we should start blogging again.

But that nights adventures didn't end there.

After all that we played some Mortal Kombat but me and Duffield suck so much, we then went to The Vigilance and had some pints while there i had a pint of Beast a very nice 6.6% ale the best taste, and 3 pints of Fox at 4.6% which was even better cause don't you just love fox's? no just me. I was only a little bit Tipsy but George Duffield and Mike (George's friend) were pretty drunk, while walking home we said to George you got any canned pies this started a mass debate of canned pies being good Mike said they can't exist they must be terrible, we would have proved him wrong if George wasn't so drunk that he was carrying them and said "Quick someone take......*drops pie*.....Too late" we laughed pretty hard, then Duffield asked George to put his on a flat surface he dropped it instantly we laughed even harder so hard that Duffield had like a panic/asthmatic attack which was scary but solved in time. Was a memorable night.

5 Months Later

So my last blog update was 5 months ago so lets see whats changed.

I just remembered i already blogged about my 'new' hairstyle so i'm already out of ideas.

Well something interesting that happened in those 5 months for 2 of them i stopped drinking, which i said i could do and i would show Izzy i could, which George and Duffield said was a near impossible feat, and well i kinda did it. I kinda failed in reality and only just about lasted 2 months as i had my first pint at 11:40, but after midnight me and George got a milk carton filled with green ale it was really tasty and it settled nicely. That night was interesting as we went back to George's and listened to Dubstep stupdily loud and danced like idiots. Thats how we roll.

Of course Ricky and the Pigeons is doing amazing, lots of gigs some paid some not. New songs all great and make you dance.

And on my break of not blogging i started playing Minecraft and spent a lot of time on there i've created a sweet house, underwater base, 2 pyramids and a portal to the nether and that took a lot of time.

Also i went to a pretty awesome party a moustached themed party, of course the greatest themed party ever, nice one Izzy. But this was still during my no drink phase so i stayed sober while everyone else got rather drunk was kinda interesting, Ivan introduced to me Dandelion and Burdock, It was love at first sip and i went through the whole 2 litre bottle which was insane. On that night i went on several runs and danced like a fool to music i don't normally dance to. But alas there was one upset that night a certain Jamie Duffield thought drinking 2 bottles of port would be a smart idea, he got too drunk and decided to walk home good thing i stopped him with bread and water. But all in all it was a good night and it was enjoyed by all.

Its weird to think thats all i've done.
