Took 21 boxes of notes to Computer Lab & MSM.
Around this watched Sky News speculating randomly as part of their coverage of the hostage situation in Dammartin-en-Goele, where the murdering barbarian scumbags holed up with a hostage in a printing plant.
As watched the police/security forces decided whether to bomb the factory into pebbles, news broke of another shooting by another cuntbag in Paris, who holed up with hostages in a Jewish supermarket.
Hope they take all alive, make them stand trial naked while building a new Bastille on a pacific atoll/island (preferably Bikini), surrounded by robot machine gun nests, just for them. One cell on every floor, one twat in each, lock the door, switch on the robots & sail away.
In domestic matters, it was announced that the private company, Circle*, running Hinchinbrooke Hospital were trying to weasel out of their contract because they weren't making any money. Should make the shamabolic, robbing bastards see out the remaining years of their contract or get the equivalent money out of the twats.
*Doesn't say much about the comeptence of Circle that it's taken them 3 years to realise that they can't make enough money from the state to make money on the low bid they made to run the hospital & the utter horlix ear they made of doing so.
Update: At 16.00 police special forces exchanged fire with the scumbags in the printing company. Reprtedly they came out firing and ended up as corpses. In Paris, the police also stormed the mini-market but, oddly, this operation took place 15-20 minutes later rather than at the same moment. According to police sources, 4 hostages in Paris were killed.

Wednesday 07/01/15 - #JeSuisCharlie
Lots of work but all inconsequential compared to two smegheads in Paris killing people.
They aren't muslims, they are murderers.

Busy day at work for Ian.
10 boxes worth of printing done, including 6 boxes for 1 job (103 pages x 282 copies)!
Gloomy pretty much all day but brightened towards sunset. Introduced Lou to "Good Omens" (which Dave had told us about on NYE. Listened to the 1st 5 episodes and saved the last for Wednesday (coz it's an hour long).

Back to work for the first full week of the year.
Bruce back & discussed with Kate timing of purchase of new machinery.
Also mentioned to me that "there were some eyebrows raised" at me taking the whole month of December off & that 'we need to plan holidays more carefully' when we have a new chief. Pointed out that there's a lot of graduations making it difficult. Maybe I'll just bugger off in a way that's most annoying, leaving Mac & Loren etc to pack photos....
Away from a slow day at work, Liverpool just about managed to overcome AFC Wimbledon (and their hulking (prop) forward, Akinfenwa) & Cambridge United were drawn against ManUSA in the 4th round. The roar in the pub was probably audible in the heartlands of MUFC's support - Surrey & Shanghai.
Also said 'bon voyage' to Victoria who is off to SE Asia for 4 months.

Weekend
Saturday:
Pissed down all day!
Went to the Mitre for breakfast. Sat at the table in the corner & started to feel drips. After looking it was either a leaking pipe in the aircon unit or the rain forcing it's way inside. Moved tables.
Went to Sainsbury's, came home & then went to Isaac to dry out in front of the fire!
Sunday
Very foggy/misty out + some frost.
Got up late and went to Sainsbury's for stuff for a butter chicken curry, essentially green pappers & green beans (already had quorn + paneer). Will do this again as well tasty (may add some more spice next time).

Back to work or ...
... Why, oh why, didn't I take the blue pill?
Ian went back to work after a month off on the 2nd of January and was quite busy in the morning doing lots of proofs for Material Science that Bruce didn't have time to do before Christmas. Hardly anyone was around as most, including Emma at MSM, had taken the day off. One consequence is that many hundreds of documents need proofing & printing in a week for the start of term. And that's not counting the Computer Lab stuff.
Also had to call an engineer for the colour machine that Bruce broke the handle off on the 19th of December (too much OJ at the Xmas party?).
Luckily it was quiet in the afternoon & did get to see 1 of the family of rats that have moved in under the air-con units,
Lou spent all day in bed, finally venturing out after Ian got home, for cat food & beer.
Big news of the day was Gerrard confirming he would be leaving Liverpool after 17 years with the club. The end of an era & 1 of out greatest ever players who dragged us to new levels, scoring in every domestic & European final and taking home the trophy each time. Just a shame our defence fell short at the end of last season & Gerrard couldn't have the 1 winners medal that always eluded him.

2015 Day 1 - food fails
Slept way into 2015 (1st time in many years I've slumbered into a new year).
We'd planned to go to the Mitre for breakfast. Checked opening times of pub online & also of Sainsbury's as needed food for Friday. Both said they were open. So we headed off about 10.30.
We went to Sainsbury's to find it was closed (as was M&S) then back to the Mitre. Ths was also shut (there was sombody who looked like they were the cleaner inside).
So no breakfast & no nosh for return to work. Arse.
Also Lou managed to smash yet another wine glass this evening. She really is the doom of silicon dioxide products.
