western medicine has failed me!

It seems that i am not longed for Western Medicine as they have no idea what is up with my left calf so after months of deliberation i decided to dish out the cash and go to see an acupuncturist!!

it filled me with content when i went into the room that the woman "Dr Li" had english as her 2nd language!! the real Mccoy.

so after being proded with needles she covered me up with a towel and told me she would be back in 30mins!...this i was not planning on... what was i to for 30min covered in needles.... and told i "couldnt move"

I SLEPT.

as i woke up she was removing them and then proceeded to sell me an ointment for a following £15 which apparanrlt is essential in the treatment!... hmmm am i being 2 cynical!

However on a positive note i did get a cool tickling feeling down my left side of my body, or that may just have been a mild stroke from the hurendous evening at work the night before!!

please leave your views on eastern medicine!!!

t-minus 5days before the firework night!!

The Village People

after a few months of hard grafting it would seem i only have a few shifts left at "the village pub"

am i pleased? yeah!!
will i be returning with my head down at xmas? yeah!

here is my little tribute to the village staff from days gone bye! ITS BEEN A BLAST!

Oh No It Isnt!!...

Can i first of all just thank Harvey for this great photo, which i may use as my new headshot!...check out my completly natural shock in the photo..no pose, %100 reaction!
Waking up to a voicemail from my agent was great, however then discovering it was for a PANTOMIME was a little disheartening...anyways it seemed like quite a good gig and i did for about 5seconds get giddy, however it was soon dashed when it turned out they didnt want to see me for an audition in the end!!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST...
but im not destined for pantomime..something far greater im sure is just around the corner!! (im sure)

Only 11 days left till i move back to London, im looking 4ward to getting started on a new show called C54 with some great talent from central aswell as securing some high flying job in a local pub to keep the ££££ roling in!!

The annual JACKSON BONFIRE night is starting to get underway in my house, with my dad collecting random amounts of dry wood and slying giving me £10 notes without my mum seeing for fireworks. We have had to mvoe the date forward a little due to me leaving for london however its going to be bigger than ever!! i will keep you postedp

So as i journed to work i new that i would be working in the restaurant 2nite.. SALINGERS!..ok working the bar here was going to be fine, i could almost say relaxed. However i arrive into the restuarant and hear the news that a member of staff hasnt turned up and they have a new guy starting and i was to work "The Pass" for those of you who are fans of Hells Kitchen will know what this is. For those that dont imagine actual hell and you will get a clear idea of how it is!!
(its the metal hot plates where all the food is put for the waiters to take out 2 the tables (me and this new guy being the only waiters)

So the resurant has a million tables (ok 32) and i have no idea where any of them are so i create for myself a table plan....with this plan surely it carnt go that wrong, however 4mins later im told that it isnt "appropriate" to have this so i do quick gage of the tables and hope for the best!

carrying food randomy around a resturant is fun for the first 20mins but then it just becomes embarassing!

The Chef was patient with me which is one blessing however it was perhaps the most stressed i have ever been! starters, main course, side orders, room service, more main courses...burnt fingers, regualr abuse from the KP'S (kitchen porters) many of which carnt speak english so were insulting me in their own language.. however 6hrs later the last of the food i take out and the night is over!!
RESULT - £6 tips!

NEVER AGAIN!!

Woodie is a go go

After visiting American theme parks i was beginning to have doubts about the future of our themeparks here is good old England, ok so Thorpe Park is striving forward with loads of new rides but it would seem Alton Towers is being left behind........UNTIL....

I confirm that Alton Towers is building its very first Wooden Rollercoaster that will break world records!! It is going to stretch along from UG LAND across the forest into FORBIDDEN VALLEY and will be ready to ride 2008!! ( start counting down the days)

Enough now enough!!

I got very excited today aswell as i ordered my copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3! it should arrive 2mrw as i paid and xtra £2.50 for xpress delivery!!... Enough now Enough!

Damn i made a nice dinner tonight, liver and sausage casserole with potatoes 3 veg and yorkshire pudding. i think it was fair to say i was full after!

Verdict

The verdict on the new chinese "De Fresh" im going to give it a 6/10.
not as good as the Regent, but better than Akina! i got free china tea as i waited for the food! snazy!!

Working tonight, half way through my 5night run of shifts, 2weeks left to go.
Am i relieved when i leave? Yes...
Will i be returning again at xmas? Yes...
Damit!!

My thought for the day is.....
i know its illegal to drink and drive... but..
is it illegal to drink and ride a bicycle?

Lifes a blog

Here are two of my favourite rollercoaster. THE HULK at ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE and DEJAVU at SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN!!.... Both steele coasters!

i was thinking about the state of my blog...popularity is improving i think however if i were to compare it to say Emma Baileys then it pales in comparison.....!! anyway.... i will persisit!

Just got my hours for this week at work. i am working 4 evening shifts in the bar, g-d i carnt wait to leave that place, it stresses me out the fact that the same people come in like routine everyday!, what also stresses me out is the fact that it doesnt matter how many times i take orders for food i will NEVER remember where the tables are for service!

GOOD NEWS!! and the excitement today is that i am getting a chinese takeout from a new resturant opened near me!! in the Moor Allerton centre!! carnt remember the name however i think ill take some photos of it and write a review later!

Life behind a bar..

so i have just finished work, it is 1.30 am... it was busy tonight in the bar, and we had a group of lads in who said their house had burnt down so they were staying in the hotel with the insurance paying for all expenses....
5bottles of wine and numerous drinks later i checked with reception only to discover that the insurance are paying for their room ONLY gutted!!! that was the highlight of the evening...
oh and as usual the MILFS were in force and i made a £4 tip!!
