FFS!

Some bastard has nicked the ariel off my car,I wondered why the radio wasn't tuning in the other day,just as well I didn't see them or I would have lost it 'cos I am very protective of my car even though its old as the hills!
Christ,last time someone took the 4 miss matched wheel trims off it,leave it alone for goodness sake,and to the man with a van across the road (not 'white van man')who I think knocked into my wing mirror and bent it inwards,I am watching you,if I see you go near my car again,you'd better hope you have tax/MOT/etc!!!!!


*pissed off now*

this week so far

I've been mad busy the last few days so I haven't had time to update properly!

Firstly I heard back from the job and I didn't get it,I came 3rd out of 5 candidates for 2 jobs,so a not too shabby result but I feel a bit gutted,mainly because it means I am stuck where I am for awhile and I don't want to be here and secondly because I think the girl I mentioned in my previous post probably got it which is annoying because she is one of those people who is so self assured and is also a bit of a brainbox when it comes to law and she's everything I'm not really,down to the fact she turns up wearing a casual shirt and trousers looking her usual slightly scruffy self and I wore a 'court smart' suit and heels (I know what DI's like!).
It was quite a hard interview,even though I had done my research I was so nervous I forgot some things,and I'm not great at being put on the spot with law I'm more a hands on person,funnily enough I got one of the hardest questions right though!


*gutted*

Yesterday went on the march for a FAIR POLICE PAY DEAL,here are some pics,see if you can spot me!!I was knackered when I got back to work,so I nicked someone so I could have a sit down in custody (ha ha)



I also lost a tenner yesterday which I am annoyed about as its not near enough to payday for my liking and I hate losing money!I *think* although its a cliche,the cleaner has found it dropped on the floor and has kept it as I'm pretty much sure of where I 'lost' it,he's a right weirdo and I swear one day he'll be in my cuffs for something-theres something not right there imo.*mmmmmmmm*

so tempted to be spiteful

I just got a text from a girl I know at work who says she has the same interview as me and she's asking what to wear.Now,do I tell her to wear the right thing or the wrong thing?????????????After all,she is competition!

Slam it to the left..............

if you're having a good time.........etc


I went to see the Spice Girls on Friday!How brilliant are they?I don't care what anyone else says I think they were,and still are great!We had seats way up in the clouds-we were so high it was quite scary cos it looks like a sheer drop when everyone's seated,I kept thinking 'if I fall then I will hit every person going down and fall over the balcony onto the audience below',now that would be embarrassing!I forgot to take my camera so I dont have any pics to bore anyone with,although I did tell one of the sergeants at work me and my friend had dressed up as Geri and Baby respectively which has got his imagination going,and now he keeps saying 'oh you have to show me the photos!' as if we were going to dress up!
It was a real nostalgia trip for me as I sang along to all the songs,David Beckham was in the audience with the Beckham boys,apparently they have been there every night,and I bumped into my friend there as well who had also been on Wednesday and seen Madonna in the audience.....MADONNA...can you believe it?I love her,why wasn't she there when I was?The audience was also full of little girls-how on earth do they know who the Spice Girls are?Anyway,this is my little review of the night.......

Scary-massive tits and a great figure,she sounded quite good and did a solo song which was good fun
Baby-sounded really good but was a bit boring,she didnt do anything special.
Posh-actually did sing but sounded crap-luckily everytime she sang,the audience drowned her out by cheering,I never saw the attraction with her,even back in the day-I can remember when they were big,my boyfriend of the time fancied her and I couldnt understand it at all!waved alot to the Beckham clan and didnt sing a solo (thankfully)
Geri-looked amazing and sounded really good considering she's no singer.
Sporty-my favourite back in the day-looked good,sounded fantastic,especially when she did her solo stuff and kicked her legs alot,participated alot more than she did back in the day.I once saw her in the gym I used to go to.

hug a granny day,kind of.........

today must have been a secret pensioners day out or something cos I have seen literally hundreds of them out and about,and they were so cute!!!All of them were cheeky little grannies with curly grey hair and twinkles in their eyes rather than the miserable old git kind,and they all love chatting to police,especially when you pretend to be looking for them,its an old joke but they love it!
I also like talking to the oldies cos they are so friendly and kind of grateful for the chatter,plus I always think of how things must be so different for them these days and I worry about some of them being out and about with some of the riff raff out there!Isnt it funny how they always tell you their age too?One old lady who was wearing a loud fuschia coat said 'I'm 85 you know,and I look after the old folk!' and another one told me how her dead daughter had been in the job,and how much she supported the police,bless 'em!

interview

oooooh,I've got an interview for the job I applied for,I knew last week 'cos my sergeant friend rang me and told me,but I didn't find the letter they had sent to me until Saturday 'cos I just threw it on the coffee table and didn't even look at it until Saturday!
Its a squad so it'll be a big career jump if I get it,not sure what to wear to the interview though,I don't think tunics cut it these days do they,or do I go in uniform?God,it'll be embarrassing having an interview with someone I already 'know' rather than someone I have never met before,I hope I can answer all the questions and not clam up,my performance in interviews always seem to be dependent on how the interviewer is with me,I know the DI thinks I'm good,so that's an advantage but I am getting my contacts to find out who the competition is so I know what I'm up against!

Don't push me 'cos I'm close to the edge...........

...........................................
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under

Broken glass everywhere
People pissin’ on the stairs, you know they just don’t care
I can’t take the smell, can’t take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
’cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

Don't push me ’cuz I’m close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
Uh huh ha ha ha
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under

Standin’ on the front stoop hangin’ out the window
Watchin’ all the cars go by, roarin’ as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin’ in a bag
Eatin’ outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she’ll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
Down at the peep show watchin’ all the creeps
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got social security
She had to get a pimp, she couldn’t make it on her own

Don’t push me 'cuz I’m close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
Uh huh ha ha ha
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under

My brother’s doin’ bad, stole my mother’s TV
Says she watches too much, it’s just not healthy
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can’t even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
and scare my wife when I’m not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can’t take the train to the job, there’s a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin’ on my back
Can’t stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm goin’ insane
I swear I might hijack a plane!

Don’t push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under

My son said, Daddy, I don’t wanna go to school
'cuz the teacher’s a jerk, he must think I’m a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it’d be cheaper
if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
'cuz it’s all about money, ain’t a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can’t walk through the park 'cuz it’s crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
Hear them say “You want some more?”
Livin’ on a see-saw

Don’t push me 'cuz I’m close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
Say what?
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under

A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smilin’ on you but he's frownin’ too
Because only God knows what you’ll go through
You’ll grow in the ghetto livin’ second-rate
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You’ll admire all the number-book takers
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
Drivin’ big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you’ll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
You say I’m cool, huh, I’m no fool
But then you wind up droppin’ outta high school
Now you’re unemployed, all non-void
Walkin’ round like you’re Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
Got sent up for a eight-year bid
Now your manhood is took and you’re a Maytag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Bein’ used and abused to serve like hell
’til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...

Don’t push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
Uh huh huh huh huh
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
Huh, uh huh huh huh huh
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
Huh, uh huh huh huh huh…*

yesterday at work was spent singing 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five;singing it,reciting it as poetry-which was very apt whilst dealing with a furious crowd at 'a certain location',and then singing it again in stupid made up Burnley** accents.Then we went onto White Lines,also by Grandmaster and Melly Mel,full blast in the van.Brilliant!By the way,how camp are those last 2 in the pic?they were meant to be hard edge U.S rapppers,telling it like it really was!



*thanks to fab blog http://80sactual.blogspot.com/2005/05/dont-push-me-cos-im-close-to-edge.html,which is where I found the lyrics.

** you'd have to be there I think!

what I'm doing right now

well probably the opposite to most people,I was working 13 hours last night so while most people were out celebrating NYE I was sober and surrounded by drunken people,most of whom were nice and some quite sweet,a few morons but not too bad all in all.Anyway I slept as long as I could today,until 1pm which is not bad for me and mooched around all afternoon,now I suddenly have properly woken up and have cooked pizza and garlic bread and I am drinking Brown Brothers Pinot Grigio and have 'pump up the volume' on which is reminding me of my clubbing days,playlist here for 90's fans;
show me love-Robin S
Everybody's free-Rozalia
Ride on Time-Black Box
Dreamer*-Livin Joy
I'm Gonna Get you-Bizzare Inc feat Angie Brown
Pump up the Jam-Technotronic
Naked in the Rain-Blue Pearl
Its a fine Day-Opus II
The Power-Snap
Love cant turn around-Farley Jackmaster Funk


bloody LOVE this music,it brings back memories of going out with my mates,getting drunk on wine mixed with coke (cos I didnt like wine but it was free)and then terrorising the men in clubs and pubs around London!


I also have the new Killers cd which I cant get into at the moment,but keeping fingers crossed I can as I love them and want to like it as much as Sam's Town and Hot Fuss.



*one of my all time fave songs!
