We now officially have a new Prime Minister, after 10 years leading this country (and 13 years as leader of Labour) Tony Blair has finally been forced to step down and hand over power to Gordon Brown. It still amazes me to this day that people vote a guy into power and then straight away start demanding that he resign because he is not doing the job quickly enough for their liking.

There are several things that Tony Blair did that I disagree with, and yes the Iraq war will haunt him until he dies, but a lot of people are forgetting that Tony Blair also did a lot of good stuff, and much of these good things are quietly being swept under the carpet by the haters and hypocrites.

Yesterday I was walking down the street when two teenage girls (about 15-17 and were obviously desperate) walked past me and then shouted “Nice arse!” at me. I’m almost 100% certain that they were being sarcastic but I will choose to take it as a compliment and there is nothing they can do about it! HA!

I was watching a program this morning on BBC 2 called Rome. I’m not sure how accurate the research was as I’m almost certain that Romans did not use the word fuck as a slang word (”fuck off!”) and I am even more sure that they did not go around using the world bollocks as a way of saying something is untrue (”bollocks!”).

Two weeks ago I started doing my old weight training workout. Sadly my right hand has still not healed from the time I fell on it playing football over three or four months ago, a fact that I found out when I tried to lift my old weight of 140lbs and almost fainted from the pain shooting up my right arm.

I thought that the best thing to do would be to start up from scratch and slowly build up to my original weight of 140lbs, this would then let my right hand get stronger and possibly stop me from injuring it further.

So I started at lifting 10lbs and did the following every evening:

20 Barbell curls (Repeat 5 times)
10 Sit-ups (Repeat 5 times)

Yesterday I decided to up the weight a bit as my hand was not hurting from lifting 10lbs, so I added another 10lbs to it and I am now lifting 20lbs. I will keep this for the next two weeks and then see about increasing the weight again. I also decided to add bench presses to my little workout, it is my idea to add a new one every two weeks.

So my new workout is now:

20 Barbell curls (Repeat 5 times)
15 Sit-ups (Repeat 5 times)
20 Bench presses (Repeat 5 times)

I have a new laptop today, actually I got it yesterday. My brother brought it brand new a couple of months ago and he now has his eye on a better one so he sold it to me for such a bargain that I could be accused of stealing it from him!

It is very fast and is perfect for me to run Future Music Radio with. I spent most of last night, and early Monday morning, cleaning up the hard drive as he wiped a lot of programs but there was still over 10gb of shite to get rid of, I scanned the entire drive and removed a few viruses and lots and lots of spyware and now the laptop is running even faster then before!

I did not want to throw my old PC away as it still had a use so I put it in the front room and gave it to my dad, who did not even have the good grace to say thank you for it - but I should not have expected anything less from him.

I have started the ardious task of ripping the music from the CDs for the Future Music Radio playlist, this will take a bit of a while as I have around 30 CDs to review and then rip.

I’ve been playing Football Manager 06 for the past couple of days as it runs so bloody fast on my laptop that I can play an entire season in one single day! I’ve taken over Eastbourne Borough as I like taking over rubbish clubs in the bottom divisions.

I’ve got this thing about rubbish teams…

On Monday I went to The New Globe pub, in Mile End, with Reiss to watch Richard Herring perform a preview of his Edinburgh show. I was certain Reiss would enjoy the comedy styling of Mr. Herring but I was not sure if I could get the close-minded, penis doodling, sod to come along.

On the way to the show we passed some woman who said “I like your t-shirt” and Reiss immediately said something like “thanks” but the woman replied “No, not yours”. SHAME!

The compare (Tommy Mack) annoyed me by constantly putting the microphone on the stand and then removing it again and then banging it with his hand. During his act he asked if anyone had been mugged, I obviously laughed quite evilly because he looked at me and said “yeah, I remember that evil laugh” in an implication that I had mugged him.

I particularly enjoyed Ed Aczel, who just wonders on with no jokes and reads things off his hand and then gives his view on them “What can you say about the Spanish Armada? I’m not 100 per cent sure…” is just one of his lines. He came second in Comedy Idol, many believe he should have won it.

The other act was a newcomer called Toby French, who has the girliest hair I have seen since Snoop Doggy Dogg had that ludicrous perm!

But although they were good they were absolutely nothing compared to Richard Herring, I especially liked his gag about removing children from the world to stop paedophilia.

When the night had finished we went into the bar for a quick pint. Richard Herring came in and as he was sitting down he looked over at me, noticed my top and then nodded at me and I nodded back.

Reiss went over to talk to him and give him his expert opinion on how his performance went. Reiss then told him he wanted to be a stand-up comic and started going through his routine, and I know he did because Richard kept looking over at me and had this look on his face.

He was kind enough though to humour him and gave him a bit of advice, but I did notice that when Reiss came back Richard buggered off pretty sharpish. That’s right, Reiss scared off Richard Herring!

Reiss got talking to Toby French who despite being a West Ham fan came over as OK, I got annoyed at his mate though who was incredibly loud and rude, how many times did he need to tell me he was a Yeovil fan and why did he think I cared?

On the way home Reiss bought some onion rings and offered me a couple, I’d never had onion rings before but they were nice, I’ll be trying them again soon.

Football training was quite fun this week. At one stage it really did pour down and we were all soaked through, apart from Learnmore who came late and stood under a tree. It turns out I have been passing the ball with the wrong part of my foot, apparently you are meant to pass with the laces part of the boot and not with the side foot.

I tried my hand at some crossing but being 75% blind my depth perception is not as good so my balls were dropping short (oo-er!).

When the sun came out I took my top off (it was soaked anyway) to get a bit of sun on my body, we did some more crossing and I got on the end of some nice crosses and put them away.

I was knackered when I got home.

I went to The Camden Head in Angel (yes the same Camden Head that I should have gone to see Richard Herring on Thursday!) with Reiss to meet up with Alfie, Jen and Will.

Reiss bought me a t-shirt with the slogan “I Don’t Have Tourette’s, You’re Just A C*nt!” He said that when he saw it he immediately thought of me and bought it. It is exactly the kind of t-shirt I would wear though. I tried it on this morning and it is a bit snug (DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING MEDIUM!?” but when I drop some more weight it will fit perfectly.

Reiss was feeling a bit weird and light-headed on the way to the pub. He told me that he had a frappuccino and then a Red Bull, no wonder he felt odd drinking his fancy coffee! Nothing good ever came from Starbucks and their evil plan for world domination.

We had a quick pint in the Camden Head and moved on as Jen and Will were waiting for us in The Crown and were refusing to move. I managed to get lost on the way to the toilet and had to come back and ask one of them where it was.

Reiss got the hump because there was no Guinness and he did not fancy drinking any of the other beers, ciders, ales and non-alcoholic beverages on sale. I felt a bit weird drinking when he wasn’t, it is like stuffing your face when a bloke is standing next to you starving hungry.

We moved on to a pub called The Albion, which is apparently frequented by some celebrities like that cunt Pete Doherty. I liked it in there it was nice and quiet, maybe this is a sign of me getting old?

Jen and Will went outside to talk and when they came back Will triumpthently declared that I needed a nickname, in case they meet another guy called Dean I guess, and came up with Big D, which I think is a cool nickname I have certainly been called worse!

Reiss then demanded that they come up with a nickname for him and someone came up with Raisin. We called him Raisin for the rest of the night and he did not like it at all and got quite pissed about it. Serves him right, maybe next time he will not be so quick to demand things and try to take control of things.

I was talking to Will during the evening about Richard Herring & Stewart Lee, nice to know someone else likes them both together and as solo comics. I’m definitely going to get those two Richard Herring DVDs now and I’m going to see if Stewart Lee has any DVDs available.

I got lost on my way to the toilet in The Albion as well, that is twice in one night I have got lost on the way to the toilet!

We moved onto the Mucky Pup for a couple and Jen got the barman to come over with Reiss’ pint and say “There you go, Raisin” which I thought was bloody funny but although he laughed Reiss did not find it funny.

Alfie is doing another gig on Thursday, this time it is at The Mucky Pup. Alfie told me that this one will have more people at it, I thought it was a shame that there was only about 6 people last time as his set (and Harold Fergus’) was good. I am definitely going to go on Thursday - I hope I don’t get lost as it is not on a main road.
