Sigh

The unrequited one from my almost local . Damn it why do some women just have that smile and eyes thing?  By no means is she the most attractive one there but she’s the one that has “one of those things”.  This mean that she HAS To be a psycho, anyone who follows my blogs know that mentalists are attracted to me. Not in the way of attraction as in hello kitty but, ah a fellow mentalist that I can box the ears off. (this is the gribz edit..)

Sega republic at dubai mall now open

Sega Replubic's Winking Sonic

Well after months of waiting it’s finally here, Sega Republic is finally here.  From the first impressions it’s big, very big pretty much like most things in Dubai being honest.  It was still quite odd that it just opened, no fanfair, no major press release, a major entertainment centre just well… opened.  The only way that I knew it was open was by the video boards in the mall that had changed and that was it.  The new cinema in the Mall has had massive coverages placed here and there promoting it.  Anyways click the link for a gallery and my thoughts on the Sega Republic in Dubai Mall.

The world seems bigger on some days

The last few weeks have been tossing between being ill and now I’m pretty sure, when visiting the airport, I had all the symptoms of swine flu, down to a tee.  Like with all things working away from home, the mind rambles on and you find yourself getting into patterns and routines of things.

Mine starts off with wake up, shower, dressed,  down lift, catch taxi, tell taxi driver where to go and how to get there even tho he is in Dubai for years on end, get into the office, eat dinner from a bag (tuna), walk 1/2km up the road to get a taxi to go home, get in a quick swim or nap, out to the mall for a wander or food, back home, tv, sleep and then back to bed.  Mundane just to say the least but then last week I had some company over and things just seemed, I dunno… a touch brighter when you have someone about to talk to…

Quick Dubai Update

Ack what a few weeks, liver problems, kidney problems and now Im just about sick of being here in some ways, then again what do I have to come back to the UK for. Its like being trapped between the devil and the deep blue see.

Dont get me wrong its nice here but its the same old for me personally, no friends, no family and Im just getting a touch bored of my own company for to talk to. There are only so many places you can walk to on your own, eat on your own and its not like theres a decent bar around here where “someone knows your name” (not quite the cheers reference there I was after)

As I’m sat here now I wait for a phone call from Australia to get them to check over the mail server that’s installed here, when thats done, sign off and one step closer to get away from going into the office everyday as per the norm. The london job im not sure on whats going on with that, less money, not sure about the hours but closer to home (wherever that is)

Right time to skulk off to the server room for a kip, gotta have some advantages here

OO and if anyone has the topless pics of lady gaga, send em over, seems that jennifer aniston topless gets a massive 40 + hits a day still!

A dubai update – world biggest indoor dish tank

Hmm just got my iPhone the other day and trying to blog on the go…. Now how do I insert a pic in my post, well got that figures out.

This post is for you gribz I’ll get some more shortly and post them up.

Something quite serene about bloging whilst being in the mall, at least I het to sit down and digest my food before trying to find a doctors. Last might all the servers in work went down after a power cut, now after staring at a screen for six hours straight I seemed to have strained my eyes and don’t have he ability to look left a d right without moving y entire head. Oh yes topping it off is a lovely chest infection. Have been drained for weeks so tomorrow it’s off to a hospital to se a doc, it’s different to the uk u go there just to get a check up. A fun filled day to say the least. More updates later

Drunken Rambles

For the first time in over a week I hitthe pub and had , well, about 3 whch was more than enough to say the least.  Its odd because at the moment drinking just doesnt do it any more for me, doesnt seem to fill a void.  Its more intersting being sober on a daily basis and seeeing what person I am when sober rather than being hammered andthen being in a comatose hungover state each and every day.  A message from someone always makes me feel better (thanks CL)..

Othello syndrome

Whoa, after a few weeks of non blogging my hits have sky rocketed to about 70 a day. Thats impressive for me to say the least, still off the heady days of over 200 a day.. Aah yes the old marxworld. Anyways today’s randomness came about reading a very obscure article regarding something called Othello syndrome

Rampant Mumblings

Well, what a morning so far!

Woke up late, got to work late to then be bugged by people pestering for things that I have nothing to do with, the very people that are trying to stiff me on my mobile bill whilst working away.  One month is being paid for and then out of the blue im paying for all personal calls which is fine but then ALL work calls as well. The very calls that are stopping downtime in the company. 

Does bad luck really come in three’s ?

After a meeting yesterday that didnt for once I dont feel that Ive come out on the arse end of it and subsequently feeling none to bad about things, today is rapidly becoming “one of those days” From the moment of donning some jeans to look smart for another presentation today its all gone a bit pear.

I should explain that here its 9.45 (6.45 in the uk). Its a fairly unexciting routine in the morning consisting of

Wake up
Shower
Potter
Get dressed (partially)
eat
check mail etc

Just that today when getting dressed my nicest set of jeans, also known as the only semi decent pair that fit me as I refuse to spend a shedload of cash on them, ripped. Not just a small hole but a hum dinger of one just where the right testicle nestles. Great. At first it was a small little thing, not the testicle but the rip and then it grew. Ok so that easy to put down to one of those things.

Getting into the office to chat to management to put the facts right that issues are sorted, before Ive had a chance to breath, sit down, get a brew Im handed a mobile phone bill from accounts. Its only 200 notes which isnt really that bad considering im calling the uk a lot but still I know the real reason why its come up, weve entered the corporate politics world of us vs them.

Perhaps I should explain a little. The guy who is supposed to “work” with me is one of those slippery types. Always working behind the scenes, empire building, keeping tabs on anything, never making a decision but quick to point out that such and such is broken. No real value to what Im trying to do.

It shouldnt of come as a surprise that I got stung with the phone bill as accounts are out to pretty much “get us” as they are in league with my colleague. Its the little things like no longer saying hello, the lass who makes the tea never making one any more and when someone walks past you and not even registering you by looking in your eyes. Yep, something is amiss here. Still they havent seen the report thats been drafted up about all this.

I wouldnt have minded as much but the woman who gave me the bill is a notorious blabbermouth and as I write its gone from me paying some of the bill to all of the bill, even the stuff thats worked related. So what next? Get my old sim back that was lost originally and hit the payg up. If people ask why im not in touch with regards to work then its simple, im not paying for work based calls.

So thats 2 things which is making things feel just a tad crap. Think Ill go home for an hour later.

who is the stig. Now we know. The stig is revealed

Well it was promised today by Jeremy Clarkson himself that the Stig for once would be finally revealed to the British public

And the stig is none other that michel schumacher. It all makes sense with the swagger and the attitude. What a way to start the series
