UK Living....

What do unemployed people actually do all day?? Ive been unemployed for exactly 4 days now and I'm bored stiff having nothing to do but relax and eat :-).

Anyway, today we visited Southport for the first time in 3 years and the place has changed in a big way. Theres a lot of construction work going on down at the coast and they're putting in a lot of new buildings making it all look a lot more modern.

I wont bore you with loads of pictures but heres the New Marine Way bridge thats gone up linking the beach to the top of Lord Street, still has a lot to do to it but it looks good.

And heres a slighly more stereoptypical but "Arty View"

One thing that hasnt changed is the old bowling club thats been next to the marina for about 1000 years (I think some of the players today were the founding members) but its nice to see a bit of tradition being carried on, the most energetic thing I've done since I got back is eating a very hot Donner kebab.

Speaking of tradition, I'm staying at my sisters again and being bullied as usual by the brother in law Nigel. He has just passed his BGAS qualification to be a Site Coatings Inspector (he makes it sound really technical but I think he watches paint dry...). Anyway he has been making me break my promise to myself since I came back and has been forcing me to drink large amounts of alcohol each evening.....

Heres the bully in action, everytime he gets me into trouble I get the blame, it's just not a fair life...

More Soon...........
