big bother
'Celebrity' big brother started up again tonight. Just one thing missing...the celebrities. I know a few from this same sort of prog...they're famous cos they're on things that you have to be famous to be on.
And I know Dirk Benedict, cos he's wicked cool and all the 'kids' were whispering as he walked in 'liek zomg, it's Faceman and/or Starbuck!'. And instead of a limo, he arrived in a replica A-Team van.
In other news, our job today bore so little resemblance to what we thought we were there to make, the architect asked if we had drawings for the correct contract. We did, sadly.
So today we've been to Cheam in/near London, we've been to Guildford, we've been to Crawley, we've driven from Crawley to Pease Pottage with the back doors of the van open (ZOMG, The moment I turned to Ph and said 'You did shut the back doors, didn't you...' will remain etched on my mind for some time.....lukcily nothing fell out, despite the doors flapping open.) Started work in the yard at 0545, finished at 1910. Going back to London tomorrow.
And we drove down a gloomy country lane at dusk, saw a stick on the road that was lit by the headlights and both mock-yelled 'SNAKE!' at the same moment...then looked at each other, then both said 'we spend too much time together' at the same moment...then looked at each other again and didn't stop laughing for about 20 miles.
Also, every time I try to make a phonecall at the moment (to my Osteopath, to the sex clinic, to people I need to speak to on business matters etc...Ph sneaks up on me and literally SHOUTS 'EEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAAWWWWW' in a perfect donkey-impression down my ear. Two different receptionists now have actually asked me what I'm doing....he does it so loudly, and it is so donkey-ish, and then he just follows me wherever I run to try and escape the noise. Even when I hide from him he finds me. It's hilarious and I can't stop laughing. NOT very professional or grown-up.
