Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:51:07 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/218568/ I just had a thought, when watching a favourite film of my youth tonight, which is just how distrubling similar my life has been to 'Jimmy' (the central character). Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:21:19 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/218432/ Its a long time since I have posted a blog, but I thought this topic would be very apt for this site. Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:31:57 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/208233/ Just bumping the thread on the Uk events board. Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:50:44 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/207074/ Just thought I would share my excitement for 11am tomorrow! Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:38:20 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/205250/ Hello all, This is a shameless plug/bump, for the thread on the UK events board for the Teesside much. Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:33:29 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/202801/ Well after what seems like an eternity (well 3 months) of boredom and general idleness, I finally rejoin the gravy train tomorrow. Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:17:02 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/197487/ Well for those of you who know me as a republican, activist antiestablishment sort of bloke. I have a shock for you. Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:06:41 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/197115/ An update, I had an interview today and got the job, things are finally looking up :) Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:10:20 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/196105/ Hello to all, Just thought it would be good to blog something positive about me rather than my normal self pity! Not much else going right but this could be the point where I turn the corner I hope. Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:43:05 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/194718/ Sat by myself tonight in my local inn with my Flat cap, whippet, pickled egg and my bottle of Dog (well I am from the north east and only do whiskey when boro win!) Thu, 15 May 2008 13:12:16 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/192125/ Hello to all, Only my 4th day out of work and I have an interview for a proper job, not a contractor, unusual, in my line of work these days and its in smogland (teeside) too, double result! Also got an appointment with a pyschiatric nurse, for evaluation before I get too low! On a lighter note I have found out my mother thinks the TES (Times Educational Suppliment) is a periodical for out of work steel workers! work that one out if you can as I am at a total loss! So viewing this period now as an extended holiday (hopefully) Fri, 09 May 2008 21:21:27 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/191480/ the mother in law's funeral was today here is a prayer for a good, tolerant, woman Tue, 06 May 2008 23:25:18 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/191073/ Hello all, And thanks to those who replied to the first blog, and thier concern! Well I think its good manners to say thankyou publicaly and update you all. Firstly the Ex wife's mother's funeral is on Friday morning, really do not like seeing a person who I still feel for feeling so distressed, but I have to consider me in this too! Do not get me wrong I am there when wanted, but keeping my nose out where not wanted! Secondly my now former employer has agreed a good out of court settlement, with no blemish on my employment record and I have been asked for my CV by several friends in the industry, so hopefully not too long for the next job too! They legally have to give me a good reference, So new job and a new flat this year I hope. Finally, changed my medication and feeling more level, check up with G.P. next Tuesday. Sun, 04 May 2008 00:26:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/190680/ well hello and thanks for all the supportive messages recieved this week, just a pity those passing laws against us cannot see this side of the community, instead of thinking we are just out to exploit the innocent and the vunerable. I will continue to blog from time to time, but will not bore you with every detail. Thu, 01 May 2008 20:07:15 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/190327/ hello and thanks to all that showed concern, i am truly greatful! anyway to the point, i have not sat and wallowed in my own self pity and have seen my doctor, on an emergency appointment, she is reviewing my medication. also got terms of severance from my employer first post this morning considering i did not leave until late afternoon suggests that the decision was made before the meeting, they are actually making me redundant offically, seems to me they do not want to fight so i have consulted my union and also taking legal advice have an appointment on tuesday. As well as this I have got my cv sorted and ready to go as well as making a couple of phone calls, so the irons are in the fire for getting a new job. no word from the ex today, as she is taking care of her father, making arrangments etc. just waiting for the funeral date. still feel crap but fighting back. Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:39:31 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/190189/ hello all, those of you on my network will know I am a whinging pain in the arse of late! not the normal state of things just things are not going well, I must add I am greatul for everyone's time and patience. well this morning got a phone call from the ex telling her mother was about to die, she passed away at 9.45 this morning jaundiced and riddled with cancer so bad it had gone through her entire body. and this afternoon I go to work get told I am falsifying figures and sacked, couple that with the breakdown of my marriage and two overdoses in the last two years and I am wondering what is the point. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:24:26 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/188498/ much as I cannot stand her daughter (my wife) the poor woman is dying so hence. Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:29:35 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/181915/ Having from New York on Wednesday morning I promised my perverted cousins from the other side of the pond I would post this, active club scene there appears to be in almost terminal decline, even people playing in the club I visited (paddles) were dressed in a vanilla manner and those that did wear basques etc got changed inside, lots of fetish wear available to wear but frowned upon in public! When I went to watch the mighty smogmonsters play liverpool in an average new york bar I found almost open hostility to people who are into the scene after asking a couple of gaurded questions, even in this most liberal of american states things seem to be regressing for us perverts. must say hello to a fantasic man I met from the bronx (he also asked me to post this but remain anon!) Thu, 09 Aug 2007 02:33:01 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/155753/ really must need my head examined 12 hour days until bank holiday monday why!
