I was watching a documentory about the Royal family and I suddenly started wondering does the Queen actually do anything these days?

I’m not against the Royal family in anyway, I feel that they are one of the main reasons England bring in so much money every year from tourists.

The reason I ask is because there are a growing group of “republicans” who believe that the Royal family should be removed as they are obsolete.

The laws and governing the of country are dealt with by the Prime Minister and Members Of Parliment and not by the Queen, as was the practice if you read your history books.

If anyone knows what she actually does then please leave a comment and enlighten me.

I forced myself to go clothes shopping today, I just wanted to get out of the house because I was told that my aunt was coming to see my dad and I can’t really be bothered with the whole family thing these days. All they do is nag and moan at me anyway because at 27 I have managed not to father a herd of chavs like the est of my family.

I got myself a new pair of jeans (that actually fit this time), a top with an amusing slogan on (This Is My Drinking Shirt) and I bought some socks and underwear as I had not bought any in a while.

It turns out that she and her pikey kids are coming up tomorrow instead, so it looks like I’ll be heading off to the local pub for a couple of hours tomorrow. One of them is old enough to drink so I had better nip off sharp or he will try and bum free drinks off me.

They are the kind of people who will come into your house and just start picking things up and asking if they can have it as they put it into their bags. (You don’t like this jumper do you? I’ll give it a good home)

My loving mother came bouncing back into London today, I have not spoken to her since the incident last year when she forgot to tell me she had met some bloke and was marrying him and told the rest of the family not to tell me.

She bought me a jumper which he obviously thought would make things OK again.

Apparently I can expect a visit from my aunt and her chav kids on Thursday, oh what a joy that will be. I think I might just bugger off to the pub and leave them to talk to my dad.

I really can’t be bothered with my family these days.

Why do friends feel the need to set you up with people just because you are single?

Let me rephrase that question slightly…

Why do friends, who are also single or have many failed relationships, think that they know the kind of person you go for and are always trying to set you up with people?

I went to my local Jobcentre today, I have not stepped foot in that place in about 5 or 6 years, to ask them to take me off ICA and put me back on JSA so I could start the arduous task of trying to find employment with hardly any experience.

In the end I just looked at the jobs, I did not speak to the angry-looking lady sitting behind the desk, I wimped out and decided to use those computer things to have a gander at some of the vacancies on offer. I swear the jobs have not changed since I last went there!

The reason I wimped out is because I spoke to a friend last night, who has a good knowledge on the benefits, and he said if I go back on JSA then I will be about £30 a week worse off. I don’t know about the rest of you but taking £30 a week from me will leave a massive hole at the moment, it is just short of a third of what I get now.

I went out with Reiss, Jen, Alfie, Adrian and Mark on Saturday, we went to a pub called The Dolphin in Hackney to do some karaoke - well I didn’t get up and sing but the rest of the party were only too happy to get up and make arses out of themselves in the name of fun.

It was actually a good night until the end when Mark started having a go at Reiss over something he had said. I have no idea what it was, Mark refused to tell me and Reiss claims he does not remember, but Mark was almost foaming at the mouth with rage.

I tried to calm the situation down but Mark turned on me and started effing and blinding and telling me to “go fuck myself” repeatedly. His brother Adrian even tried to say something but Mark just tore him apart verbally until he backed away.

Mark said something to me, I can’t for the life of me remember what it was (it was probably nothing serious) but I do remember it angered me enough to tell him we were going to settle this outside like men. The exact phrase I used was “Right! you and me, outside now!”

When we got outside the pub he tried to square up to Reiss but I pulled him out of the way and Mark then squared up to me, I should have punched his lights out but instead I tried to talk to him again but I eventually got sick of him and basically told him to fuck off before I do something I regret, I’ve never seen anyone move as fast as he did down the road.

I did not want to fight him because me an Adrian are quite good friends. I ended up going into a shop with Reiss to give them time to get a bus or something but when we came out Arian was standing there on his own, his brother had tore him apart verbually for not standing up for him.
