Eurovision Is Coming!!!!

**Sticky Post**

For all your Eurovision needs check out my post here.

So....

I'm back. Tired and ill but back. I had a great time and I'm more than a little unhappy to have to return to this country. The grass is always greener I suppose but I'd love to really test the theory that absence makes the heart grow fonder and leave this country for a while... say 20 to 40 years ;)

Eurovision is this week!!!!!!! Tuesday is the day of the first semi final and don't worry... I'll be doing my usual live blogging updates... I love Eurovision...

Things are going to be changing around here... as you can see (if you actually visit my blog, which I recommend!!) come back to what you know has been retired for a while (I always end up coming back to what I know, trust me) and this blog is now called Dreaming of Chong Nonsi.

My new title is an expression of my current wistful longing for change in my life. London has been fun but honestly I need to move... 3 years of London has made me even less tolerant of others than 6 years in customer service. Plus I'm getting old (25 next month.. :( ) and need to start thinking about what I want to do with the rest of my life. Plus I'm fatter than I've ever been before and this has got to change!! And I must stop drinking so much alcohol as really I'm getting a bit bored of it...

I was drinking half a bottle of JD a night on holiday... ouch!!

And Dear Constant Reader I have one thing to say to you for all your patience with me... kop koon khrap.

Jae Kay Is Away!!

So I embark on a plane journey (not my favourite thing in the whole world!) but I should return on the 17th May... I'll miss you Dear Constant Reader!!



Remember to check out my blogroll for lots of interesting blogs.

Ok I tried not to write anything about the Jensen Ackles pic.. but I must. *Swoon* He is sooooo lovely. Oh to be a fly on his trousers, as no one I know says... ;)

What A Carry On!!

The two alleged blackmailers in the Royal gay sex case are now saying they were attempting to warn the royal involved of their employees "gay sex predations".

Now given who the Royal is, I'm pretty sure such warnings would only have encouraged this behaviour! What a laugh, what an IDIOTIC defense. I have a feeling that if this is the best the defense can come up with, then these blackmailers are going down... Greedy, intrusive bastards.

And oh look... our "moral" friends over at the News of the World had their grubby little fingers in the pie. You know, I think the News of the World is more dangerous that any terrorist. It's time News of the World employees were placed in detention for as long as possible for the sack of our country!!

One More Sleep (Ish)

I leave the house for my trip abroad in the early hours of Tuesday. If you do want access to my, restricted, travel blog you will need to email me asap. Thanks to those who have already requested access.

Hypocrite Tories Make Me Laugh

The News of the World and the Tories both go on about traditional values and then break their own rules constantly.

I hate living in a world where 1) a Lord having drug filled orgies is worthy of reporting and 2) where a Conservative politician thinks it's ok to have drug filled orgies and remain a member of a Conservative party hell bent on enforcing faux "values" upon the citizens of this country.

Wake up! Sex and drugs have been here forever and will be around forever. The conservative movement is pissing into the wind if they think they can change things by espousing tougher laws and values rather than trying to enact more progressive change. Look into the past to harems and the Opium trade and you'll see how things never change...

The Sontaran Stratagem: Doctor Who 4.04

Sometimes I can't quite believe that they brought Doctor Who back. And I mean that in a good way. This episode reminds me how lucky we Doctor Who fans have been.

This is another brilliant episode, with scheming Sontarans, MARTHA!!!, Donna and the Doctor being funny, UNIT, cute soldiers and good pacing.

I just love the new confident Martha and it's so sad she isn't a regular any more. Bring her back!! The Sontarans look isn't great but their attitude befits their warrior race ethos, and I can't wait to see how the Doctor foils their plan to poison the Earth. But I'll have to as I'm out of the country for the next three weeks! :(

Also... someone came to this blog last night searching for "Doctor Who porn blog"... why???

Holiday Time!!

Friday night and work was over!!! I met Jim at Waterloo and wandered along and across the Thames to Drury Lane. We went to the Lowlander, a "Grand Cafe". It was nice and we were shortly joined by Mark and Jo. We had a couple of drinks, caught up and Jim tried a Banana flavoured beer (which, to my surprise, was absolutely delicious).

We then popped over the road to Great Queen Street for what was 1) a birthday meal for Jim, 2) the second of our monthly trips out, and 3) a meal to say farewell as all of us were about to leave the country. The service was good, the waitress knowledgeable and the food was delicious. I had crab on toast to start, followed by a truly awesome Pigeon and Foie Gras Pastie. Who knew pigeon was so delicious??

I avoided the desserts as they looked a little poncy and I like my desserts simple and honest.

Halfway through the restaurant was visited by some American army guys, one of who was quite the dish... Mmm...

Well and truly stuffed we went and had a few beers outside of the Lamb and Flag in Covent Garden. There we were accosted by a couple of tramps, and Mark and I even got a nice hug off one guy from Tanzania looking for money. He told me I was human which was nice, but alas he got no money from us...

We got the train back to Greenwich and had a night cap at the local, where Jim got given a bottle of Champagne. Lucky boy.

It was a lovely night out.



Saturday brought an early start as we headed down to Lympne to see the folks. My uncle David was back from Mexico with his girlfriend Cecilia who was very nice (although a little quiet, probably because she is a bit shy with her English skills). Had a nice time, with a nice meal ala Jim, some lovely gifts from Mum, and a nice drive.

Bad point: hitting a pheasant with the car. :( It flew off but still...

It's been a busy few days... time for sleep!!

Freedom Day!!

It's freedom day today!! My last day at work for three long weeks. Praise the Lord!!

Last night the office headed out on the town to LVPO in Soho. We went there once before and crashed a private party, but this time we were the private party!!

It was tres dull with many long speeches about stuff, my presentation wasn't so bad and it got a few compliments. Afterwards the presenters had to "recruit" members of the company to join their teams and I am extremely pleased with the people I've got on mine now (offers of cakes, trips to the zoo and many other promises may have been made... see I'm a nice boss!!)

It's Jim's birthday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY oh gorgeous and beloved one. He is 19 I believe, or at least that's what I've heard!!

What Will They Do???

I know I am not what keeps the company I work for together. I go away and I come back and nothing changes. But sometimes I really wish I could find out HOW that happens as the amount of silly, stupid and darn right lazy requests that are passed my way whilst I am here have to go somewhere don't they???

Oh to be a fly on the wall to find out where people go to ask "What is the address of THIS building?" or "What's our phone number?". I really wonder what poor smuck has to put up with telling people that the best way to solve their computer issues is just to restart it.

Only 1 more day to go... one more day until freedom... except I've gotta go out tonight in Soho and do some presentation in front of the whole company regarding the company wiki I helped create. Oh well... free alcohol.

Then tomorrow is freedom day... just tidy my desk, leave early and head off for a birthday dinner for Jim with our friends Mark and Jo. The holiday starts there... let's not think about the cleaning and tidying that must occur this weekend...

Watching Reaper...

Move over Zack... make room for Bret... Hmm.. got a real thing for cuties at moment. Who needs muscle when they look as sweet as this....

Oh Be Nice!!

Here is a piece of spam that made it's way into my inbox today... the depths the spammers go to is amazing!!

"Hello, jaekay.


Listen to me carefully, i don't know what your name is, but i'll find you and i'll cripple you, because this is you who tempted her!!!
She has already gone to hospital, you're next, this is evidence: insert link to porn here"

And no I didn't click the link to find out it was porn... I've got Arwen at work to do that kind of thing for me... :)

Zach Braff Redux

Spending way too much of my lunchtime at work watching Scrubs. Zach Braff is pretty...

St WHO??

It amazes me, in this country (and when I say country I mean the UK!) with so many great Britons, that we still look to saints to represent us. In the case of "England" the veneration of St George and of some "English" culture (trust me the legacy of the English is the legacy of the violent, genocidal Anglo-Saxon invaders, not exactly a glorious past!) is even more bizarre as he never even set foot here!

Here's my proposal... let's have a Winston Churchill day. He was at once equally magnificent and flawed. A human being whose life is so interwined with the recent history of our great country (from battles in what is now Sudan, through the Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War and the early stages of the Cold War). And it's a day all Britons can celebrate together, a day of unity and celebration and of remembering the history of our islands.

I was trying to tell people today that St George never set foot in this country and they didn't believe me. If you are celebrating St George's Day today, have fun but make sure you know a little about St George.

And don't invite me!!

*Two seconds later* Grrr.... just found a St Georges flag taped to the back of my chair... someone shall pay!!! *sends out email with Union Jack on it*

Zach Braff

I've got such a crush on Zach Braff at the moment... he makes me all grrrrrrrr....

Voting Day And Other Rubbish

So today I cast my postal vote... of course I selected Brian Paddick as my first choice for Mayor, with Ken Livingstone as my second, tactical, vote. Hopefully if the polls are right and Brian sadly doesn't get it, my vote will help ensure Mr Boris "I Like To Allow People To Be Beaten Up (allegedly)" Johnson doesn't get in.

My vote for the local candidate for the assembly went to the Lib Dems again but in the interests of plurality I cast a maverick vote for the Green Party on the Party list vote. I'm not a big fan of a lot of Green policies but I do like a few of them and I always think it's good to mix it up a little when voting.

I'll laugh with you at the candidate list I was sent later and some of the appalling adverts in there for such people as the BNP and Christian Choice. Bless them.

Work is horrid today. I am counting the seconds until home time... and until my holiday.

The Trouble With Girls...

... is they want to be woo'd.

Prince William would not need to fly a helicopter into my backyard to woo me. He's managed that and I haven't even met him. ;)

Yeah... ok the problem really is... I'm easy... there's nothing wrong with the girls!
