I am Thomas, I am the Webmaster (among other things) of Cumnock Rugby Club.
I like TV and cap news (and other stuff sometimes), I like WWE but not soap operas or Jeremy Kyle. Enjoy
Well I have been trying to stay quite this week. My appointment down at East Ayrshire Community Hospital in Cumnock went well yesterday, I aint there next week. I spoke to a friend called Frank who I haven't seen for a while and I am going to (probably) have lunch next week with him.
My sleep patterns seem to be getting better which is a relief. Wednesday to Thursday was only twice and Thursday to Friday was straight through. I did karaoke last night as well with Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day which was my usual way.
On the rugby front the fixtures appear to be done now but now I hope the members get paying their memberships as I have started to do the list. The preseason games start in a couple of weeks. Apart from that I have tried to do nothing at night.
Well what a few days. Thursday 6.30 went to rugby training (as most of you should realise I don't goto Rugby Training to train, I go to talk to people. Then we set a few tables for Saturdays Burns supper. We were getting there. At the end we had 80 people at the burns supper on Saturday (we cant really take more than than).
Friday afternoon I did some shopping and Friday night we finished setting up for Burns Supper. I had already agreed I wasn't heading to Cowal for rugby Saturday. I stated in the poster the club would be open (I wasn't the only person who agreed to that) for all 6 nations games.
Saturday I headed down for 2pm, so I got there just before 2pm. The 1st XV won 50-10 and now face Isle of Arran next Saturday (when only a couple of senior players are in Cardiff for Wales vs Scotland). So they were heading back. I watched the Ireland vs italy game, the 1st 6nations game. It wasn't great but I had predicted Ireland would win and they did. There was only 1 PERSON watching the game with me.
The five oclock club came in at its usual time and so did Jennifer. I had been on bar myself to that point. When the next member of staff Amy came in at 6pm I headed for a shower and get changed. The trip and the telegraph pass which wales did during their game cost them. After I had got changed Catriona got here (after being to Cowal) and we got ready for Burns Supper, everybody says it was a great success. i had scotch broth, haggis neeps and tatties and stake pie, carrots, peas and tatties and I was full after that. There was a large mix of men and women there. I was on the "rugby Boys" tables, which ended being the Rugby boys and girls and Tommy (me) table. In the breaks I helped on the bar (it was only 10 minute breaks, I was drinking cold water all night). The events finished at midnight, it only started just before 7pm, VERY QUICK. Unfortunately my taxi only came at 1.30am. I wasnt walking home, so I was in Cumnock RFC for 12 hours yesterday.
I went to bed fairly quickly but I kept waking up almost every hour. I got up at 11am. I had my coffee and toast and had checked my email and watched euro 2012 draw (SCOTLAND AINT GOING TO QUALIFY, England will) when the phone rang this just after midday, wondering if I could let someone in weight room for 1pm. I was heading down to club for 2pm. I got my gear on including scotland top and headed down. At 2.15/2.30 I started getting busier behind bar again. It was just me today. 3pm the game started. Scotland KEPT on kicking the ball away and France were better than us. There was a point in 2nd half Scotland had a small breakaway from a lineout and "KICKED IT AWAY". A lesson I learned 15 odd years ago is "YOU DONT KICK YOUR POSSESSION AWAY (yes that ex coach was in club today), I told him that after full-time, where I get the Cumnock Bill McLaren line again. Harry and Morton were making and selling pies at lunch time and I had organised a float for Harry and I paid for my pie and told Harry to bring my pie through as I wouldn't get through for it. I only got to eat my pie 10 minutes into 2nd half as I was constantly busy until then (it was only me).
The game finished and only slowly the members started disapearing, but 630 if was quite, the five oclock club and ian and sadie had came in.
I closed the bar at 8pm, and so I had spent another 8 hours today, that meant I had done 20 hours VOLUNTARY WORK over 2 days. Because I havent had any beer and I wasn't cooking tonight I went to the chineese 2 minutes walk from home for chicken chow mein and I enjoyed it.
Well I thought I was going to relax today, it happenned for a couple of hours. After getting home at about 10.30 last night I was tired before midnight so I headed to bed, I have recorded The Parole Officer from BBC1. I didn't even see the Keane press conference after midnight when he signed for Celtic.
I got up at 8am and I started on my 6 nations poster for rugby club, I wanted it colourful. I did it and loaded it up. It didn't look the same way I did it.
Next the phone rang (about 930). I discovered that everyone has to go to Haven Open Day if they want their job. I then had to phone a couple of my old staff. I got one of them and told her about it. When I phoned my boss he said hadn't he said to me. I said NO. After that I went a did a little bit of shopping down at Tesco, just to feed me for a few days, I march on my stomach. Google Chrome also got extensions and I have zemantha loaded up again and a new twitter feeder. Its going ok so far. I also had a response to my consultation already.
I then just watched a bit of telly from 2ish to 4.30.
The new league rearrangements had appeared on SRU site and we got the date we expected for Clydebank RFC and I sorted the other 2 postponments. Then I saw there was a 230 kickoff for one of the teams and I remembered they all said 12 noon. I checked them again and they said 2.30pm kick off for us. So I phoned Alex as you do.
I have had some bacon sarnies and fish cakes with noodles and juice for dinner and I feel quite full. So thats today. I am heading down to club soon to do bar.
Well I have a day off today, I was busy a lot with the rugby sites. I was also busy with the tv capping sites and discovering I was 2nd last in predicting american football results this week. Its been good to relax today and just play with the pc. I had took my pc to ayr over my backshift weekend and it didn't work their or at home last night. I was glad when i discovered it working this morning. I am now heading to my cousins to watch Glasgow rangers vs Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League Group Stages.
This past week has been busy at work, still no sign of Rachel. Leonie, we are getting there. Claire stays on till as normal. Ann and Myra very busy with me. It's the Glasgow fair so yes the shop is busier then next Tuesday we have the Head Office visitor again and Steve wants a lot of new stuff in before that we also have a lot of redoing of stuff over the weekend. Cumnock Rugby Club - had main committee meeting Monday and I have some membership stuff to do and a little bit on blogsite and chatboard.
Ive been on ebay this morning and bought a mouse as my current one is playing up. Ive even topped up my electric and gas as well. Now I am going to listen to Chris Moyles for next couple of hours. I can't guarantee I will get Golden Hour.
Ok the Andy Murray vs Stanislas Wawrinka game started at 6.30pm (just when I got home from work) and so I started twittering on it. Riggwelter said he was at a meeting and needed updates, so I did that. then came the 4th set where I tweet every score. i stopped doing it then Zammi asked me to continue. I did but then I discovered there is a limit to the amount of tweets you are allowed in an hour. and so my updates stopped being posted. So I am just watching the game now and hoping murray is just about to win the match in 5th set. Thats Murray just won, game set match final set 6-3 YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
