Good bye New York! Hello LA

Well, here we are, I've had a pretty horrid time with the work aspect of my life this week, I psyched myself up for the second meeting of this whole disciplinary process for 8pm last night when I was told that I was going to have the meeting. I was told by my leader (bad cop) that she wasn't ready for me, that it would be a little while yet. Eventually we had the meeting at around 10pm. She informed me that it was a Stage One disciplinary, no more incentives (not that I have ever had any!) No more trips, so I can kiss goodbye the trip to New York later this month and the trip up to Hambleton Hall in September! No suspension though (well it would leave the team short staffed!)

I have the right to appeal the decision in writing, within 5 days, to the manager of the whole department, however, my manager doesn't recommend that. The last guy that did that, was hounded out of the company. Each time he appealed, he won, yet the very next day, they found another reason to invoke the procedure, he won on three appeals but after the forth it was all too much for him!

I don't know if I'm going to appeal yet, however, I'm going to raise a completely different complaint against the company on the way I have been treated. Fairly, not a bloody chance, so I'll give you more on that when I've done the complaint. Of course you do know that if I'd have been straight or a woman, then none of this would have happened.

Now, hey lets get on with some happy, non work related stuff, it's hello LA from the Beckhams! Oh yeap, the Beckhams made their very public arrival in the Californian sun and he new footballing home, LA Galaxy, opps, just like Beck's I've slipped up there! It's not football over there is it? Nope, they call it soccer, Beck's hasn't got used to that yet but am sure he will. Posh was there as well, playing Hollywood at it's own game and winning. But by god, doesn't she look slim and thin and below her supposed size zero. Ya know if you dont look too carefully, these days she's looking more and more like a 12 year old boy wearing false tits! She milked the limelight and the attention, by posing for the assembled mass ranks of photographers and Hollywood hacks for a good 5 mins. It was almost the same at LAX airport when they arrived stateside, this is obviously the Hollywood publicity machine working overtime and at full speed!

David, still looking good even at his age, OK, yeah yeah he's younger than me - just, but you know what I mean. For a football, strike that, soccer player, he's in the final couple of years of his playing life. But, hey having said that, he did wow the crowds in the last couple of times he's played for England, so who knows, there is still a lot of life left in that old dog. Although, how his new team mates react to him in the knowledge that he earns more in a week than they earn in a year is any ones guess.

It is kinda strange that one of the World's largest countries, isn't, up until now, been pretty much in the World's most played and popular sport! Maybe Becks will change all that, by the hype surrounding his arrival, he might just succeed.

Get ready for another round of Potter mania as the latest blockbuster movie in the series hits the big screens. SB, a friend from the other side of the puddle has always seen in and has loved the latest exploits of the boy wizard. SB and his movie going pals, all donned Harry Potter glasses to watch the screening, which must have been a sight in itself. I must admit I'm not a huge Potter fan, although I have liked each of the films, it's just I don't wet my nickers over them. Although, I did happen to see him, Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe running around naked on stage in the West End play Equus a few months back. Which could be describe as a little bit of fandom behaviour, I suppose, so I'll probably go see the movie.

Beck's and his Mrs are not the only Brits hopeing to make it big over that side of the Atlantic. Nope, Matt Lucas and David Walliams are to make a US version of Little Britain, it was announced today! The pair have landed their own show on TV channel HBO. The series will feature a mix of brand new characters and Little Britain favourites - although American audiences might find themselves completely gobsmacked "yeah but no but yeah but know but yeah" teenager Vicky Pollard and "I am the only gay in the village" Daffyd. David (knobhead) Walliams said: "The new series will be a sketch show set in contemporary America. "We are taking some existing characters and writing new material for them, as well as introducing new characters and ideas. " We're very keen to take Little Britain to as wide an audience as possible, so we're looking forward to working in the States."

Finally, something to make you smile, a friend emailed me and advertisement regarding a new product from McDonald's! Hummmm I wonder!
