Junkies - again I hate junkies, more now than ever. It's not good enough that they put their own lives and the lives of their families and children at risk, but they have recently(today) branched out into threatening council plumbers.

Yes, I got stuck today by a needle, a bent one, I have been informed this is how the junkies determine if it's one that's been used or not, meaning it had.

By the time you figure in the blood test, tetanus and hepatitisB(ouch) needles, results in four needless needle pricks. Not to mention that this just cost my employer(the cooncil) money in lost time, as well as the NHS in drugs and time. Note that both are funded with public money, which means that WE paid for my afternoon. I don't appreciate being forced into spending needless amounts of cash(I guess it's the Scotsman in me) I'm sure those reading this don't either.

Now I have a wait on my hands to get the test results back and be given the all clear. OK, the chances are slim that I have caught anything major but I'm still a little worried about it. I'm not the kind of person who gets stressed out easily, but this is trying on me a little.

Apparently my arm is going to stiffen up this evening with the HepB jab being STRAIGHT INTO THE MUSCLE!! So I'm typing this before I lose the ability.

I don't generally publish the addresses of the houses in which I work in my plumbing blog, but this isn't that blog so.....

To the previous tenant of 24 Ritchie Place, Tillidrone, Aberdeen,

You are a useless junkie bastard, giving myself and my family undue stress by your blatant disregard for the proper disposal of your paraphernalia. I am not against the use of drugs by addicts. I am against reckless endangerment of others who are not engaging in that activity.

I couldn't give a toss if you OD(or indeed have already OD'd) satisfying your need for a fix. I do care when my girlfriend and my children are forced, by your inappropriate actions, into a worrying situation which needn't have been.

You can rot.

I haven't told the kids and I am not going to, they wouldn't understand anyhow. What gets people into drug misuse? I can't understand it really, I mean I was always told to say no to drugs. I can't imagine anyone telling someone to say yes, so how does it start? Is the carelessness ingrained at the same time? Cunts.

My girlfriend is trying to kill me This is a long term thing, not a recent development however. She is devious about it, perhaps she doesn't want me to know (although the "I am going to kill you one night in your sleep," statements are a bit of a clue.) There are the numerous, "Watch, it's hot" incidents. The "foot shut in the car door" incident, among others...

One such display of this 'will to hurt billy' is displayed in the following picture...

Dad, the kitchen is full of smoke... ...is one phrase you don't want to hear on a sleepy Sunday morning. Yes, I know, I didn't know Sundays had a morning part either but there you go.

The title snippet was uttered by kid-thekid the first this Sunday morning though. I shot downstairs, stopping only to pull on my breeks, (the hoose might be on fire but seeing me in the all together could put my kids in therapy for life, Catty only looks when she has to,) flew into the living room, passing kid-thekids 2 and 3 and burst into the kitchen.

Aye, she was right enough, the kitchen was indeed full of smoke, but hang on, what was the black cinders in the hands of kid-thekid the second? Yes, she had been trying to make toast, using the toaster. This is a good development since nothing is in flames at that moment.

The amount of smoke was amazing though, for 2 slices of toast, which she concurred were inedible, although the bite marks showed she had tried. I opened the windows, gave the kids stern warnings about going in the kitchen when parentsthekid aren't around and closed the kitchen door.

Not a word on my parenting skills please....

Absent Friends I went into the IRC channel i've been in for ever to be greeted with the topic...

Rest in Peace mikee1, we will miss you! Nov. 29th, 2006...Please take a moment to send a prayer or a good thought to mikee's family

I fucking hate that. I know we need to tell people what's going on but just seeing it like that is like a kick in the proverbials.

I left a message on our channel blog about it so what I want to say here is....

Just because you might never meet an online friend in real life in no way makes your friendship any less important. When Rare died I was gutted, tears and everything. Now mikee is gone too. In fact I believe as I started on IRC the chan had just lost Kathryn to cancer. This disease is fast becoming my personal nemesis. It takes all the good ones.

To my online friends, I do think about you all. You all matter...

Buzzzzzzzzzzz We've been doing our Christmas shopping recently and found that we need loads of batteries for all the kids toys. Catty bought them yesterday....

Today I stupidly told my work'mates' at lunch: "Aye, she spent forty quid on batteries yesterday".

...I knew it as soon as I heard myself say it.

Flashing Lights Next person who flashes their lights at me in an agressive manner will be stopped at the next junction and have the error of their ways explained to them. See how quick you get to where you're going now, prick.
