'Not going out' pointless crossover.

'Not going out' is a comedy show on bbc 1. I used to watch it as I am
a Tim Vine fan, and he used to be in it.

I haven't watched it for a couple of series, since Tim Vine left, but
I had to watch the 'Pointless' crossover episode, being a massive
'Pointless' fan.

It was really funny watching Alexander and Richard playing themselves,
and the Lee and Richard feud was brilliant. And Daisy flirting with
Richard was brilliant, too.

It was really funny, one of the best episode's of the show I've seen.
I may even buy the boxset just for THAT episode alone. I really
enjoyed it.

And my mum and I really wanna go on 'pointless'.

The transgendered cat.

Another post about my time in hell.

There was a guy who lived here. At first he seemed ok, a bit OTT about
cleaning, but ok.

Then he met the cat.

Yes, he became obsessed with a cat. It was a lovely cat, but it had an
owner. And several people feeding it.

It really didn't need any other people feeding it.

This guy would go out EVERY NIGHT in order to get this cat that had a
home (sometimes several times a night) to go and get the cat that had
a home, that wasn't allowed in here because it was against the tenancy
agreement.

He would wrap it in a blanket and take it to his room and drag
(literally) people to sit in his room, looking at a cat.

And then during the day he would deny any knowledge of the cat when
the management told him to keep the cat outside.

One day he decided the cat was pregnant. He took 'her' to the vet to
discover that a) she wasn't pregnant and b) she was a he.

He still didn't listen. He was last seen stealing money and getting
into a taxi, with the cat, and never heard of again.

I have no idea why he decided to kidnap the cat. He obviously liked
cats, but kidnapping one is a bit extreme.

I am going to post about some of the bizzare thing's that go on here.

I've wrote before about some of the insane thing's that have happened here.

And I also mentioned that I was going to write a book about the events
of this place. Well, I've changed my mind.

I don't need to make money from my stay here. I'd quite like to forget
about this place when I do leave, and I have much better idea's for my
best selling future novels lol.

So enjoy all the future bizzare post's I make about the insanity I live in.

Dylan Keogh in 'Casualty'.

I am so glad that Dylan is back in 'Casualty'.

There's about half a dozen character's that I love in the show's
history (Dylan, Zoe, Nick, Ethan, Ruth, Jay, Ash, Lily -ok, 8) but I
think Dylan is the best character in the show's history.

He's arrogant, sarcastic, anti -social, grumpy, impatient. He also
hates patient's.

Yet he's one of the most 3 dimensional character's in the show's
history. He's a divorced man who lives on a boat with his dog. He's a
brilliant character.

I want an Ethan / Dylan friendship (both are socially akward but in
totally different ways, and I love both character's for their social
akwardness) as their scenes together will be really funny.

When I heard Zoe would return with a former doctor, I was either
hoping for Dylan or Nick, so would have been happy for either. I would
have loved a Dylan /Nick scene, too.

I'm a very happy fangirl, and I'd rather watch Dylan, Zoe, Ash and
Ethan over sleazy Cal, alcoholic cured in 3 episode's Rita preaching
to everyone, Lofty and Robin being annoying and Dixie being a bitch.

Off topic; Dixie has turned into a bitch since Jeff died. She had NO
right telling Ash he should have died instead of Jeff. I dislike her
now.

Hopefully Dylan will give her a famous Keogh putdown, and put her in
her place.

How to do a 'cat's eye' with eyeliner.

I love eyeliner. I hate liquid eye liner. I'm useless at applying it.
Give me a kohl eyeliner and I am a happy girl.

I have a friend who loves liquid eyeliner. She has one in every
imaginable colour, I think. In complete contrast to myself, she hates
kohl eyeliners.

One day she decided to email me a list of instruction's on how to get
a perfect 'cat eye' and I decided to share her list with you.

1. Tilt your chin up while looking down.

2. Sketch from the inner corner along the upper lash line.

3. Wing your liner towards the end of your brow. I assume you stop
sketching somewhere along there, otherwise you'd draw up to the brow
line.

4. Check both eyes are even. And tidy up any mistakes.


And that's it. That, according to my friend, Is how you get the
perfect cat eye.

I actually really enjoyed my work.

For the first few week's I really did enjoy working where I am volunteering.

I was learning new thing's and it was something I felt I was good at.

Ha. Now I feel like crying when I even think about going to work.

If you went to a place where EVERYTHING you did was the wrong thing,
wouldn't you not feel like crying?.

I mean, I put a cup on a saucer the wrong way, for god's sake. How can
I do that the wrong way?.

And, the really ironic thing is, the place I'm at is promoting
building confidence in returning to the workplace. I think I got the
reversal of that.

This week is actually ok in term's of shifts, and I may ask to take a
break if my housing thing goes ok tomorrow, as I can use that as an
excuse.

I really do love where I work, but maybe the cafe just isn't for me.
Maybe I need to look into other oppurtunities in the orginasation.

I really do like my voluntary work....

But I was under the impression that voluntary work was meant to boost
your confidence.

It's actually deflating mine.

I have decided that I really don't care anymore. I'm the girl who
makes a cup of tea wrong (apparently) so I'm never going to be able to
win.

So why bother?.

When I do the job then I am feeling confident. But then the nitpicking
start's and it just deflates my confidence.

In the last few day's I've:

Made tea wrong. Apparently I'm putting the cup, saucer, spoon combi
wrong. How I dunno.

I'm wiping tables wrong. Yet I'm doing the EXACT same thing as everyone else.

If I put washing up liquid in the sink, I get wrong for it as the
washing up liquid 'sticks' to the dishes and it overflows the
dishwasher. I also get wrong when I don't use washing up liquid, as
the dishes don't get clean.

The till always go weird for everyone who uses it for discount, only I
get told to 'be more careful'.

If there's dishes in the sink, and I try to serve a customer, I get
told to carry on with the dishes. If I do that, then I get wrong for
not serving the customer.

If there's a queue of customer's (which happens 90 % of the time) and
people leave while you're serving them, you get wrong for not cleaning
the tables. Well, I get wrong.

The really annoying thing is that I am pretty much convinced I won't
be needed there next week. I'm sure, with the way thing's are going,
I'm going to get told when the woman who's sick comes back, I'm going
to be told I'm sacked.

The way thing's are heading I wouldn't be surprised. I'm just not able
to do anything right. Everyone else is doing the same thing, but only
I get told it's wrong.

Maybe this thing just isn't for me.
