    Like the last few days of skool when you can bring your toys in and the teachers are thinking about 6 weeks off the booze, a long football less summer awaits.

    I am bored already.

    I need a weekend fix. Golf is tedious and cricket simply kills an entire day. I might try and go cycling but have no road sense and the stabilisers need fixing. I used to do something but what?! And something that Mrs Typical will not want to do either. So I thought about dogging but the cleaning bills are too high.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    I've got a couple of holidays on the cards:
    1. Copenhagen
    2. Amsterdam
    3. In Planning
    I've tried watching boxing, and it was painfully boring. Visited a castle, which was okay, they had quite a decent medieval battle reenactment.

    Jurassic World is out soon, as is Antman, so I guess there's some things going on. Pretty sure it's the Rugby World Cup this year too?

    A brothel is out of the question - well at least a good one. I could afford one in say Wales but the quality is poor and you spend more time reading their tattoos than anything else. And you tend to trip over the empty Kronenberg cans and I got bit by a dog with a limp as well.

    Join up with English Heritage. Book a few days at a hotel in Rye (Kettle of Fish chippy!) and visit Battle Abbey, the castles at Pevensey, Walmer, Deal and Dover, the Reculver Towers and Richborough Roman Fort. Take a sketchpad, water colours, pencils and some Elgar on your ipod and while away your hours amongst our country's rich and vibrant past. Take a ride on the Hythe railway, frolic in the dunes at Camber, and find spiritual calm at Canterbury's Martyrdom.

    Bliss in England's gardens. :emoticon-0152-heart

    Ah, the exuberance of youth.

    I used to sink a battleship 6 nights out of 7
    £250 per week on vodka and lager
    40 snouts a night
    A curry before and a kebab after
    Diabetes at 25
    House gone
    Job gone
    Organ failure
    Mental breakdown
    Depression, anxiety and self-harming
    Contemplation of suicide
    Near loss of limbs
    Estranged from family
    Scrapes with the law
    Fights and vandalism

    I'm 36 now.

    Five years and three months since my last drink.

    Go easy and be safe.

    Visit me in the Dominican Republic. The whole country is one giant brothel.

    There is a distinct line between madness and alcoholism. You're not much older than me too.

    If you want half a laugh, you should check out #cheekynandos that is trending on Twitter (and tumblr which I'm a big blogger). For example, this is some of the funny things going on... Joking around with the Americans is definitely going to keep my summer going till the new season starts Capture.PNG

    I've seen that too. The only problem I have with it is that no-one has ever said 'the Spoons'. It's just 'Spoons'

    I wonder what else can be done to subtlety annoy them. Been a good bit of free PR, as U.S. Nandos has been getting in on it too.

    I was speaking a couple of Americans at work, and they said that they don't use many adjectives to build up what you're saying. To them they think "cheeky" if reference to your arse cheek
