After countless interview and hundreds of jobs applied for, finally been offered a job. Absolutely smashed the interview and don't think it could have gone any better.

Congrats. An example to myself to keep trying  :)

Thanks :0 Yep keep trying and stay positive. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Confidence in interviews is everything, as are small things like firm handshake, smiling periodically, good quality suit etc.

An old lady asked me to help her get her five peach waters in Morrisons as they put them too high up.

Happens to me a lot in supermarkets. My other half says it's because I have a friendly face. Guarantee that if there is an old dear that can't get something, I always get asked and always happy to help, it's no effort and they are always grateful.

If your moral compass is Piers Moron then I ask you to think whether someone who oversaw illegal phone hacking and published fake pictures depicting War Crimes is an appropriate person to look up to. In fact, I'd suggest you're a bit of a c*nt.

Sadly, back in 2005, I went to Rome with my ex and a bloke kept grabbing me in the street and shouting. I kept trying to get away cos I thought he was trying to mug me, then he started shouting 'Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney' in a thick Italian accent. I wouldn't mind, I don't even look anything like him! Took me ages to convince him that I wasn't him.

Might be the fact that my ex was 75 at the time that confused him  :o

Travelling back up from Colchester yesterday, just as we approached Duxford, a North American Harvard flew right over the road about 200 yds in front of us and landed at Duxford. Great sight to see as it's one of those planes you never seem to see.

Just glanced out of the windows while walking up stairs at work. In the delivery area behind the retail park next to us was a truck, the driver and mate are next to it, acoustic guitars out jamming away. Wish I could have heard them. Brought a smile to my face.

Oh, there certainly is a buzz when that happens...even after you realise you've spent £38 to get them and they choose a plastic cup and a rubber from the gift stall that you could buy for £2 at the market.....but you know you earned those tickets :)

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
