(OU)R KELLY

In a roughly related R Kelly vibe...

A few years ago I found an address book in the pub and so I could figure out who it belonged to (and cos I am well nosey) I had a look through it. Most of the pages were empty with a only few entries under each letter. The letter O page was full, I kid you not hand on my heart this is true......

It read something like this....

O

Oliver 01625.....
Our Shelia 01625.....
Our Sandra 01625.....
Our Eric 01625.....
Our Peter 01625.....
Our Philis )161.....

I figured out who's it was straight away and gave it back to him. Bless, poor man died this year but at least I got to read the best adress book ever!

MORE R KELLY SHANANAGANS

After a few too many cheeky vimtos and black russians with guinness tops the conversation in the bar once again got around to R Kelly.

I put "Ignition" on and tried to make everyone dance to it like that guy on You Tube then (I said so what I'm drunk, its the freakin' weekend baby Im about to have me some fun!) *genius* I then put his finest ever work on...the mighty "Bump n' Grind". (its so bad its good) or as I like to sing "Park n' Ride" (a slip up I once made whilst smashed on wine singing it in the Drum And Monkey.)

T'wixt me, Linds, Kay and Welsh Tim we thought it would be a good idea to go through the phone book and ring up all the R.Kelly's in there and ask them if they really were in favour of the environmentally sound Park 'n' Ride scheme which so many towns have adopted.

Here are our findings.....not the correct way up, but you get the jist...



Shockingly most of the Mr R. Kelly's that we made contact with (at 11pm on Saturday night) were not in favour of Park 'n' Ride.Most of them told us to Fuck Off. Infact one of them, from Romiley I think rang Kay back and left a voice mail telling her never to ring this number again and called her a little slut.That is a definate "no" in the on going park 'n' ride debate. Linds has had 4 missed calls off of one she rang. I only rang one and left a message on his machine. Thankfully I 141'd mine cos Im a smart ass.

FRULI FOR BREAKFAST

Yes, Im there again.

Swampy returned from spending Christmas with her parents yesterday to find she had been robbed. The cunts have taken everything and turned her house upside down, even emptying tampon boxes. Theiving bastards, I'd rip there nads off. Besides that it was her birthday yesterday so I took the hight off cos it was quiet (well, not quiet but quieter than it has been) and I went out and got hammered, it tasted so good that Im having some for breakfast too.

COS IM THE GARBAGEMAN

Phew, well I'm glad thats all over.

I finished work at about 2.30 yesterday then went to my parents house with the hounds where I was the life and soul of the party. Actually no, I wasn't. I fell asleep in a big comfy chair then was woken to eat the I went back to sleep until 1am when I walked the muts hime.Merry Christmas!

I was going to open up at 8pm but I was far to exhausted. I have worked like a dog this last fortnight. Instead of continuing to moan about it I am doing something about it..... check it out...

LA CALETA RESORT AND SPA

I have booked myself in here for 3 days in January with my mate Claire. Im going to lay out in the sun and sleep. Swim a little and have so many massages and treatments that I am the most chilled out person I can be. I can not wait.

You know how when all the records you used to love are on vinyl and you have no record player so you dont listen to them. Well, I was in Music Zone when I saw a double CD of The Cramps (Off The Bone and Songs The Lord Taught Us) for a jaw dropping £3.97. I f*cking love that Off The Bone album, its soooo good, I cant believe I forgot about it. So I currently have that on full blast while I clean the house. I also must get around to making Frank Sidebottom tickets as its a week tomorrow and I have to sell 80.

Fingers Crossed.

Apparently he is playing at The Baths(a nice pub but no where as fab as here) in Macc in June or July and they have a poster up saying why go to Porters when you can see him there (I got this info from Bertie the postman who looks like Sonia from Eastenders when he takes his glasses off). Thats a bit rubbish on their behalf but I'm taking it as a compliment.

I JUST WALKED PAST THE TV

Christmas Mania was ITV.

Girls Aloud were singing on it.

I have now made up my mind on that pressing matter.


I really don't like Girls Aloud.

Really.

Really don't.
Yesterday was, with out a doubt the busiest day we have ever had, consequently it wasn't one of my favourites. I could moan for an eternity but I wont. Im just glad I dont have to a Mad Friday again, I hates them I tells thee.And then, next news its
7.23am.


7 bloody 23 am this morning the dray turn up. After the busiest day ever on Friday I still had to sort out the cellar so the beer will fit in.

It will not fit in, I've had to chain it up outside. I could cry.

Then, just to round things off the glasswasher decided to stop working this morning for no reason at all. My jeans are wet, I need to sleep but I think I am 75% red bull these days so thats not going to happen.

I've bought no presents and Im not going to. Christmas can get bent.

I HAVE WORK RAGE

I dont usually. Not rage anyway.

Apparently it came through in my tone of voice to the wife of the boss.

UN BE LEEVE ABLE

I cannot be doing with people that nag over nothing that I could help.
I do know my job.
AAAGRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

MKB

My favourite customer MKB was in last night. This should come as no surprise as MKB is indeed in everynight.

Now MKB has a problem with his memory, he has none. He is always asking me where his pint is. Where his coat is. Who he was talking to.... etc etc.

MKB has a blind friend (BT) who I have written about on many occasions. He is also hilarious. MKB walks BT through the bar to the gents about 10 times a night (Im wondering if BT has a bladder problem).

BT is also cool, he didnt mind when I accidentally left the 5 litre tub of floor cleaner sitting in the urinal which, being blind he didnt see. Pee'd in said urinal and it splashed back all over his jeans. He didnt know what was going on so assumed he wet himself!

BT wasnt in last night just MKB. But knowing his memory (or lack of)I managed to convince him he came in with BT who had been waiting for MKB to walk him back from the toilets for over an hour. MKB looks confused but spys the empty glass I put next to him (a handle pint pot.... BT drinks out of a handle pint pot) and looked all panicy.

Now he is saying he knew I was winding him up but I saw that unforgettable look in his eyes.

He well believed it.

WHEN NEWS WRITES ITSELF

After being there all yesterday and all morning,police are expected to be at the house of Steve Wright In The Afternoon.

Sky News genius!

OOPS

It has been pointed out to me that it is probably not the best thing for me to be accusing people I dont know of being a serial killer on the internet.

Appologies.

DCI CATH3RINE JULIET BRAVO

Ok, I'm still watching sky news....

About this 2nd man....

I know they haven't released his name yet but I am sure as eggs are eggs that it will end up being this man they interviewed on sky news on the weekend. I cant remember his name but his hair was a bit long (not long long but longer than short). When I watched it I got goosebumps-it was like when Ian Huntley did that interview before he got caught.

So, I shall be honest and tell you if it is him when they release his name/photo. I just cant remember his name but he looked about that age he was taliking how he knew them all, was a kind of jeans and blazer man with dark hair that needed a cut.

BREAKING NEWS.....
I remember his name now, its cos it is similar to another weirdo I know,

I think the man in the blazer and jeans is called *** *************.

Lets see.....

TOM STEPHENS

Tom Stephens (the man arrested for the Ipswich murders) used to drink in my pub and do my gardening. I have photos of him in my mothers wedding dress riding a horse.He often took my dogs out and washed my car every Tuesday until I caught him robbing £10 from the glove compartment.

This is of course all a lie, I just figured that he must be being googled alot and as there is nothing on tv at the moment I would entertain myself by watching my stat counter refferals page.

Appologies to all, ha ha ha.

BEEP BEEP

The automatic air freshener in the ladies has run out of spray. When this happens, and the battery is still working then the unit ommits a beep every minute or so to let you know it needs changing.

The company who 'manage' the unit for some reason dont give me a spare can, so it beeps until they come and change it themselves. It has been beeping since Saturday morning.

Now, one of my customers who is always in the ladies applying eyeliner (or so it seems to me) heard this beeping and came to the following conclusion....

"Liz" she says to Liz that works here
"Yes" replies Liz to this certain Sweedish girl
"There is a strange beeping in the toilets, (she leans in and whspers) I think is something to do with the flowers".

What exactly I dont know but I would love to spend a day in her head.

Meanwhile, in the Gents.....

The same problem is beeping but no-one has reported that to me. However some stupid bastard put a fag end in the fish tank yesterday. Some people are shitheads. Why would you do that?

In other news.....(observations from the bar)

Holsten Pils sells well at Christmas and here doesn't do too well throughout the year. This is, I think, because Pils is the drink that people that dont drink go for. Isn't that strange. We go from selling bugger all to 2 cases in a week, most of them have been to women and most of themm have had lime cordial in them.

God I'm beyond interesting today! I might go and buy some batteries today for my camera and start putting some pictures on here to break up the monotony of me talking about holsten pils and toilets
Here is the man they have arrested for the Ipswich killings.

REASONS TO HATE BEAGLES PART 3

You know I'm in a moaning mood......

Kitchen bin upside down and chewed up rubbish all over the place. I'm so bored of his puppy like behaviour.

Work was busy and I drank enough vodka to stop treating everyone like I wished they weren't there. Infact I may have even smiled once.

Sounds like (the never to be mentioned again) Paul may be reaping what hes sown. His wife(or ex wife now, I don't know) emailed me to ask if me or my mates have been sending him nasty text messages cos hes rang her asking her if she knows anything about it cos hes been getting them.
Now I know I haven't done anything and I know my mates wont have.....so seems hes spurned someone else.

Im not surprised.




How come when Cilla in Coronation Street lies about having cancer I dont mind but when Pauline lies about having it in Eastenders I wish her dead? Funnily (or more importantly not funnily) enough I know 2 people that have told me they have cancer and they didnt.
I thought they were sick twisted fucks, I still do.

Who would do that?

I hated Cilla in Corra, always did but now I don't so much.

Maybe I am drunk

WINTER PIMMS

Afternoon.......

Umm, its Brandy based (cup no. 3 as opposed to cup no. 1 - the summer one).
Anyway, I've mixed a whole load of it with hot apple juice and slices of clementines to knock out today in the most lovely bodum Pimms mugs that I have.

Hot booze rules.

Tomorrow I'm going to do mulled wine me thinks....unless the everyone is loving the Pimms.

Blah blah flippin blah.....sorry, I'm boring as owt today.

I'm a moaning machine.

I am not loving having to work all the time, my next night off wil be 3rd Jan cos stupid Cath3rine works stupid Christmas day doen't she. With any luck I will have a day off on the 4th, then I can sleep. So glad this is my last Christmas here. I proper hate this time of the year, anyway, I best put on some make-up and go downstairs and pretend to be all full of joy and happy christmas bobbins. I'm (surprise surprise) short staffed tonight so I have to do it, again.

Ok, thats all off my chest. Maybe I should just drink....yes, that sounds favourite.

MY OH MY

I thought next Friday was to be the busy Friday before Christmas.

Today was mentally busy.

Some woman who was all up my arse to begin with later made a pain of herself by nearly kicking off with someone. I was quite rubbish, I took no side in the arguement told her to ignore the other person cos I was too busy and if she still had a problem about it tomorrow then come and talk to me.
She wont, well, I hope she doesn't.


This other shaven haired guy was all over the place, he dropped his pint so I went to tell him that maybe it was better if he left. He was so insulted because he "hadn't had a drink all night" (he tells me whilst stumbling standing up and breathing stale beer all over me).If it wasn't so comical I'd cry.

"So Cath3rine", they ask me...."will you miss the job?"
Hell no.
Being responsible for drunk people is not my ideal job.


Elsewhere in the real world...

Go on Lou...the prossie still working in Ipswich.
Make hay whilst the sun shines, that's what I always say.
She's got the market covered now there is no competition.

No, I'm kidding.

With cameras on her all the time I cant imagine shes being kept that busy. Who would pick up a prostitute in Ipswich knowing the whole world was focused on them? I'm thinking its a publicity stunt (not the murders, but the saying she is still working)


I totally dont get it. I dont know if you watch sky news as much as I appear to be doing but they report "Lou" is still working the streets.

How, why and WTF?

In other news....

I've just had a veggie kebab and chips, it was immense.

CREAM OF SUM YUNG GUY

I went to my favourite place today.
Well, one of my favourite places.....W.H Lungs in Manchester.

I love the chinese warehouse. I bought a whole load of random cheap crap, half of which I dont know what it is. Some of those nice banana cakes, a bottle of tabasco as big as a bottle of wine, a box of strawberry chinese popping candy,A&W rootbeer and a load of frozen dim sum...oh and what I went for in the first place, namely roasted chestnuts and pizza flavoured bread sticks to sell in the pub.

Me and Mr James Lavin have been working on my new "menu" for the boozer whilst enjoying guinness. My new "menu" will be award winning I tells thee. I'll wait until its finished until I post it on here. You will have seen nothing like it before!

Congratulations to Sam and Dave who got engaged today, yay.



Well, I will have to go now cos Jeremy keeps putting his paws all over my keypad and its really beginning to tits me off

THINGS I WILL MISS ABOUT LIVING HERE....

1. Random strangers coming up to me in the street and giving me things.

I was just walking through town when this older man starts staring from across the road.He shouts excuse me and runs up to me. He asks if Im the landlady of Porters, I say yes and he tells me how hes been working in Wales tearing down Canarfon (sp?) Rugby Club. He tells me that he found some old rugby ball lying in the rubble and its the last ball ever played there or something.Apparently it has mud and blood on it. He said he knew that I had a lot of rugby stuff in the pub and that I could have it. Hes dropping it in tomorrow. Never seen him before in my life.
Over 117,000 live in Ipswich.

Over 150,000 live in Macclesfield.

Ipswich has a red light district so Im guessing Macclesfield must have one too. Do we? I am not aware of one but there must be one. A taxi driver once told me there were working girls outside the college on Park Lane but I think he got cofused with chavs waiting for the 38 bus.
