Aaaahhhhh, now I get it. Kind of like the fight scenes in the old Batman TV series.

Makes sense – thanks for clearing that up. Please don’t poink him too hard. We all think very highly of him.

Don’t worry just slight, he said he needs to wear a soldiers helmet

@Joe Maybe we crossed paths? I’m in the south of Spain right now. 

You probably would have noticed me though as I probably would have screamed “OH MY GOD IT’S JOE”- while my parents Look At Me with concern a-hard-days-night-paul-10

 

I read that ‘poink’ comment this morning and I had to restrain myself from typing something not very suitable for the forum. I’m proud of my self control!

 

IML: Nothing much is happening, my daily routine goes:

12:30am-10am: Sleep

10:10am: Drag myself out of bed, eat Rice Krispiesand surf the net

11:00am: After my mam has yelled at me for an hour to go outside, I reluctantly go to the pool (bringing a book with me) 

11:01am: Get assaulted with factor 10 sun-cream (Mam: Sure you’re not going to be outside for long, there’s no point putting a 20 on you!). I slide underneath a parasol and do combat moves to avoid getting stung by wasps.

1:00pm: ROAD TRIP! We go to some random tiny Spanish village about an hour away and hope they have a restaurant. We remark on the wheat-filled fields and the copious amount of goats

2:00pm: Reach some end-of-nowhere restaurant. None of my family speaks Spanish. 95% of the waiters don’t speak English- time for a mime session! 

4:30pm: A happier ScruffJunior family leave the restaurant saying how cheap it is to eat out than Ireland “€30 for a three-course meal for 3 people, sure ya wouldn’t get that back home would you ASJ?!?!”. 

5:30pm: We drive back to our little villa which is also in the middle-of-nowhere, literally we are staying next to a hen and goat farm and that is it! A mini siesta is had here

6:30pm: My mother calls me out to the pool yet again to bask in the evening sun, I say “I’ll be a minute”

7:30pm: I finally go outside, remark that there is a “nice breeze” and precede to clean the pool from all of the dead wasps, ants, little flies, leaves and other unidentifiable organic mess that has gathered over the course of the day. This takes about 15 minutes as idiot wasps keep on drowning. My dad watches a bootleg copy of all 7 seasons of ‘Only Fools and Horses’.

7:45pm: I jump into the pool…ahh bliss

8:30pm: I go back inside and commence spraying myself liberally with anti-mosquito sprays.

9:30pm: I’m ready for bed and go on the laptop where I shall remain until about 12:30am the following morning (I’m watching all of The Sopranos, it takes time!)

12:30am: Zzzzzzzzz

 

Lovely, I don’t know why I wrote all of that out but I just did….deal with it!

I really enjoyed reading that @AppleScruffJunior. Looking back you have a weird liking for them but at the time you wonder what on earth you’re all doing. The delights of family holidays.

@AppleScruffJunior We weren’t quite in the middle of nowhere, no hens or goats (or wasps) next door. Hope you’re enjoying the holiday!

Can buy me love! Please consider supporting the Beatles Bible on Amazon
Or buy my paperback/ebook! Riding So High – The Beatles and Drugs

Don't miss The Bowie Bible – now live!

Well three employment companies are now checking my references and background history to make sure i’m not some evil perverted weirdo with a criminal past. 

I might have a job soon.

That is great! When will you hear from them?

 

@AppleScruffJunior FACTOR 10? Man, I have to put on factor 50! I was just folding the laundry that had just dried, outside and it took me about 15 minutes and I already got sunburnt! Tis the curse of having been born as a ginger! Have fun on your holiday and try to make the best of it.

Can take up to 6 weeks. I already have a starting date for one (conditional on having passed the checks and references satisfactory) that is the 1st September. How do you tell a company who offer you a job and have done all the checks, at a cost, that you are declining the job? I dont like the thought of that.

@meanmistermustard
Just be honest. It happens more than you might expect, so you won’t be shocking anyone if you decline it. Good luck with the other offers. apple01

I will be. I would hate it more to leave them hanging, not knowing whats going on.

 

About to go put weedkiller down so have constructed a new sprayer (why are instructions always next to useless). In the instructions it contains the warning that gloves, face mask, goggles and suitable clothing must be worn when using – the picture on the sprayer however shows an old lady smiling wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt with no gloves, goggles or face mask using it.

I think I’m finally gettin’ over that stupid girl – of course I will relapse again eventually, but it’s dying slow and steady. Besides, I already fell in love hopelessly with a certain waitress, ofcourse she doesn’t know that brian-epstein. Oh and I manage to fall in love 10 times a day just riding the bus, but that’s definitely an improvement over self wallowing, right? paul-mccartney

 

Now I’m pretty optimistic about life in general, but still scared crazy about my final results. If I don’t manage to enter the university I want, that is gonna suck majorly. Now I listen to ABBA to drive away those bad vibes a-hard-days-night-paul-11

Just call or email them and tell them the truth. I actually had to do that with two of the organizations who offered me an internship. Now I think of it, I still haven’t done it with one of thema-hard-days-night-john-7

So what kind of job is it you’ll choose?
