Sort of happy but a bit annoyed about this
In 2000 i left school and was sent to a training place called Taurus Skills foundation which i left in 2002. I did my Warehouse NVQ there and when i left there was talk on taking me on but there was two people who didn't think it was a good idea. Also in them two years i asked to do a computer NVQ and they said i couldn't do it and they wouldn't give me a reason either.
I went to the job centre today as I'm still finding it rather difficult to find a radio job, and spoke to someone on new deal. I was expecting an ear full like "You cant to that, think realistically" and all that. Instead i was greeted with a "You've come onto new deal... why do you think you haven't got a job yet?" i told him why and a bit of what i did in the past and doing now and said "I know a course that can help". Now the thing I'm not happy about is that apparently i need to go on a "Course to help build my confidence".
I don't need that, my career involves me nattering about a bunch of stuff in front of a potently high audience and I'm confident about doing that. The second, is that the courses I'll be on are going to be at where i used to train. The difference is though is that they have changed their name and that they do more courses so it would be good to see who's still there. Apparently they will put me on placement and if the people like me where i go they will take me on.
I'm not sure on whether that will happen because i don't have much faith in that system, i hope it does!

Housing
Swindon borough council arn't helping when it comes to having to be rehoused.
My Fiance is allergic to cat fleas and the doctor said that we have to move immediately as her health and the unborn baby's health is at risk. She gets a doctors letter to say we need to go, and a letter saying that we need to be gone from my dads by September (One month before the baby is born) and the councils answer??
"So?"
SO??? MY FIANCE AND OUR UNBORN BABY ARE BOTH AT RISK AND THEY AREN'T BOTHERED?? That's pretty out of order.
I spoke to two people and the council say "You do not fall under the "At risk circumstances" so your details will be updated but nothing with your account will change"
As far as I'm aware we do as health is seriously at risk. So that well pissed me off
COUNCIL WAISTING MY TIME
WOULD OF GOT MORE REACTION TELLING MY PROBLEMS TO A TREE

Walcot Wasters Pt 3 - Manic Monday
This has gone beyond a joke... And like rich says, "Jonks life is like a soap opera".
Im sat on my bed and Caroline was on the computer. We hear this noise on the window and a few bricks missing and hitting the wall. I open the window... knowing already who it was and start shouting.
Jonk: WHAT THE F***
Asshole 1: What
Jonk:WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Asshole 1: F*** you
Jonk:F*** you t***
Asshole 1: You wana say that to my face?
Jonk: you wana say that to MY face? T***
Asshole 1: F*** off you fat b**terd
Jonk: U gonna come here and say that then?
Asshole 1: No you come here
Jonk: OK then...
So i shot down the stairs and burst outside (No shoes on BTW). I ask caroline to "Call the police 'cos somebodys gonna get hurt" and to hold my glasses (I've already had glasses in my eyes and didn't like it)
I'm followed out by my dad (who was sent home from work from having a swolen gland in his throte) and Barry (our lodger) to confront the 3 wasters. One of them was walking back giving indication that he wanted no trouble, but still gets his weapon out whatever it was. The other two was giving us mouth, and one of them was the guy who attacked mat. When my dad found out he went completly nuts. He started shouting so EVERYBODY in the street could hear and a few even opened their doors to watch.
So about 3 minutes of this happened and caroline finished the call with the police on their way. The other 2 were showing their weapons ready to hit us if we scared them too much, one with a bit of wood and one with a Crow bar or something.
I'm there watching what the other two are doing when my dad seems to be the one running the show now, and i'm making sure that none of them go for my dad. The thing was though... they were still mouthing us and walking backwards at the same time. I tryed to keep them near by so they would still be here when the police got here but they buggered off and we told the police what happened when they got hereone minute later.
What the hell is going on. Its completly out of order and STILL nothing has been done about the attack on my brother. Not enought is being done, and i think it's time to have a word with the press.

Big Brother 8

All i've heard is some a$$hole thinking she's "The Bitch" Making a big deal about everything and it's just annoying. Her name is Charley . They got this girl out the other night, Shabnam... Dunno why but there was something about her... i figured it out. Something i call the curse of 84. She didn't seem too bad and shouldnt of gone. by the way
MY UNCLE BOB IS NOT IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE

Baby, Baby
Well we went for a scan the other day to see what the baby is... We don't know because the baby was moving around and then turned around (being a pain) so now we don't know if its gona be a boy or a girl so keep the Boys names coming in! Were trying to avoid names that might already be in the family or names of people we know.
Re-occurring Things
I'm not sure why but things have been re-occurring lately and i'm not sure why. Even before i left swindon these things wern't there. Most of it has been from the 1996 - 1998 period.
1. There has been Two Songs that seem to turn up in my dreams... One was off this advert. It goes (I think) "Shaboom shaboom - De dum de loolang shaboom a langa lang - Oh life is but a dream" which i have no idea whi but i had that before with the ki-ora adverts.
2. The other song i keep waking up to going round in my head was something that reminded me of Madonna's Dear jessy, Cyndi Lauper's True Colours, Corgies' everybodys got to learn some time and some phil collins song (Not true colours) it was always on the radio when i was at school in "Theme Club" but i couldnt remember anything about the actual song. I asked Will Truman (Worked with him at Swindon FM, but for a bit we went to the same school) if he knew what song i was thinking about... Obviously he didn't Know what the hell i was on about. In the end i found the song on a CD from the car boot at random... It was Donna Lewis - I love you always forever, which peaked at number 5 in September 1996... Which was a good guess because i remember being told to go to the shop to get some biscits and i found an extra £5 outside under the "Magic" Tree (I belive its magic anyway) and it was starting to get dark and knowing how playlists work that song was probably played alot untill December and i pin pointed october when all that happened.
3. I keep seeing people from school (Which i left in 1999). That includes Hayley from the BBQ post, and Sarah From last post. But I've spoken to Hayley and told her that i saw her but havn't spoke to her just incase she didnt know who i was and thought i was a weirdo.
I hated school because i wasnt interested in what they tryed to teach me and i wondered off and got detentions for not listening or doing home work so i skived and got expelled... But i remember the good bits and some of the people. All i wanted to do was go to Music, English, Drama, I.T and watch P.E . I keep seeing people in town. I know Leroy remembers me because i go past his house to go to baby sit and he saw me once and shouted my old nick name (I'll show you a pic if i can get hold of one and explain why)
I wonder if anybody else from school thinks about me? I dunno why but i'm curious about that because i'm pretty sure i have a fan who knows everything about me and reads these long blogs... u know, probably someone from school, one of those fans who has posters of me on their walls and a doll of me but when they see me they dont say anything to me and cower away. What the fuck am i going on about! can you tell im sort of bored but think alot? Anyway i'd love to know if i have any secret people who love me quietly hehehe. You would have to prove it though. I don't know why i've been thinking alot lately but its all in cupboards in my head and its all falling out... Little details and possibilities and its doing in my head but i dont wana sound like a wacko by telling my bird, so i tell the blog (Thinking about that, why dont i just tell her instead of telling the whole internet content world? naa she might think theres hidden messages) is there any hidden messages?
4. I keep bumping into eating Cheep mini Tescos pizzas in a sandwich and watching working lunch... the two things i used to do while skiving. Same thing with MTV and eating tomato soup. The difference is i've got my Fiance with me and our lump hiding away within her tummybox.
5. Anthony (Known him since the begining of time) lives infront of my old school and it gives me an odd feeling because i remember looking out of the Window at his house (Before it was his) and then remember everything else
Anyway theres other things that keep popping up but cant remember right now. One more post then i'm off to beeeed

Keyboard Learning
I don't know whats going on with me lately but i'm starting to do things i didn't used to do.
I've decided to start learning how to play the keyboard. I started a while ago when i was in my flat but it didn't work, but i got some different books today and i've learnt a little bit.
I Orignally started learning how to play the keyboard in school. I was ok but i got fustrated on how long it took me to learn and the teacher was really trying to rush me.
When the teacher said that if i had'nt learnt a certain thing by the next lesson i would not be in next weeks class i quit it. I still practiced in music though. Me and Sarah (Old school friend... We used to hang around the library) used to play Elvis songs together (There wasn't any reason for it, Elvis was easy because it said what notes to play in letters as we couldnt read music).
Lol i don't think she remembers me now, probably not because she's forgotton who i am i guess like most people from school. I don't approch people i used to go to school with just in case i look like a complete twat and they dont remember me (Although i'd rather someone i used to know from school would aproch me) . I see her in Town sometimes and apperently has a kid now. We were well good mates in school (Oakfield Secondary) before i left and used to hang around together at school.
I don't know why but lately stuff has been cropping up from when i was in school... hmm i'll save this for another Blog

Fitness
I'm gonna start loosing some weight it think.
Since i've been back i've put on a bit of weight so as from next week i'll be going out a bit more, Bike riding and running. I'll see what i can get from the car boot to excersise a bit more too. My eatings not bad now, A lot of salad and stuff (If i feel like munching something during the day it'll probably be a carrot or something).
Since coming back i just hav'nt had the money to go and do stuff and have spent most of my time writing sketches. I used to keep my weight down by working my ass off and dancing and getting well sweaty.
My cousin Sophie thinks im cuddley as i am (Awww...hehe Love ya) But im not a bear so the excess stuff has to go 'till im comfortable again.

Yawn
I can't seem to sleep properly in this double bed.
Last week Caroline and i moved into a different bedroom as the lodger and his son have moved into our old room. On the first few nights i had no problem in my new bed back with Caroline, but the last few days i was realy moving about all night and now its doing my head in. I'm not cold, Not too warm, Got the window open and the room's naturally hot so that evens out and i have my own blanket because i kick the blanket off when i get fustrated or to hot in my sleep. I'm not used to not having as much space though and have got into the habbit of automatically sleeping with my hands above my head. I tryed going to bed early, Moderate, late, Really late and its not working.
I hav'nt tryed upsidedown yet so i might try that tonight.

Annoying Police
Me and my brother Mat have called the police EVERY DAY since he was attacked on the 5th of June and STILL nobody has come to take a statement from him. The police have said that they will come and see him and every time they are due they don't come. They even arranged to meet him at work the other day and after an hour of waiting they still didn't come.
If the Police are just going to do nothing why not just tell us to save me wasting my phone bill, Wasting Mats time, my time and theirs. Everybody i've spoken to so far have said "It Is Unacceptable" What do you think?

BBQ
Oh i got pissed!
Completly hammered.
I ended up drinking alcoholoc Jelly that has melted back to water out of a boul and im supprised that i wasnt sick, although i wish i was because i had a bad tummy box all day Today.
I was also told that i was a good and rather cheeky DJ, Picking the right sort of music out and fitting it well together, and may now also have bookings!!!! YAY! It was going well till the computer went wacky, i put a CD on, Fixed it, Nobody knew that i had a problem, and carried on.
My other speciallity was my cocktails! A while ago when i was at coliseum, Halifax, me and my mate dave went out for a drink after working the day shift, where i went into this Oldmans Pub called "Royal Oak" and created a cocktail called "Rolling on the Blues" which consisted of:
Pint Glass:
2X50 ML shots of Blue Curaqau (I have trouble remembering that spirit)
3X25 ML Shots of Vodka
WKD Blue & Lemonade
This mixture left myself and my mate rather drunk. Every time i've made this it went down Very well so i made that at the BBQ. Someone Brought their own Brew of wine in aswell which was definitly high in alcohol, and turned out to be a great night. Mat sort of gave up cooking and it was taken by Alan (who works in catering) naturally found his way to the BBQ and started churning out the sausages (Thank you!!!)
By the end of the night i had drank loads of the home brew. We put the front room sofa outside and mat and anthony slep out side untill 6am.
In the morning... Well i dont seem to get Full hangovers but today something felt like it was sleeping in my guts, and it still does, i cant seem to get rid of it and tryed everything so i felt sick all day today and nothing worked to get any out. Oh and i was shattered because i didnt sleep for long.
Thanks to everyone who came & helped out!

Hey! Very long time no see!
I had a BBQ this weekend, I was the DJ, Mat was (Supposed to be) The cook. It started off quietly with Me, Caroline, Tony, Mat, Rich, Jon (Someone i had made friends with At Swindon FM) and my dad all cooking burgers and drinking alcohol. I decide its time to get the karaoke out so we have a sing.
More people turn up, and just as im playing music, Mat and Tony were being cheeky to this woman on the phone outside, and she could hear us through the windows. Anyway she comes to the door to have a go... And it was someone called Carol, who we knew from years ago, randomly on the door step ready to start having a shouting fit... but when she saw my dad the tone changed to "Bloody hell, I havn't seen you in ages!!"
We invited her in along with her daughter Hayley(I was in the same year as her in infant and Secondary school) and all their kids in to come and have a drink with us. It was good to see them again, i think the last time we all met was about 1994, since then it had been quiet, but it was cool to see them, Especially Hayley as she was an old school friend when we were little kids. It was Maaaad! Apperently my mate Tony fell inlove with her... lol
Are Good times in the Pipeline? :D

Dead Fish
Today the lodgers Son brought back a lucazade bottle back full of fish. (He's that sort of age where you go to the local streem and catch fish and frogs) Now He had 3 big fish (index finger size) and they all died (Looked like babe fish when they died) along also with a bunch of other little fish that had died cooped up in the lucazade bottle. There was about 6 little fish left that i had to sort out and pick the dead fish out. Fun!!!

Walcot Wasters PT 2 (Evening at the hospital)
Seems like the window wasn't the only thing these wasters wanted to smash.
Just as my brother Mat was going home, Not even 30 seconds away from my dads house, one of them who was involved in smashing the window had seen my brother and punched him in the head. Not only that but he had given my brother a gash in his Left Eyebrow, in within 10 seconds blood had gone completly down his Millwall Shirt. We Called the police and had taken my brother to the hospital.
Now my mum was called to come to the hospital and we have come to an agreement that things were probably best as they are between us both as she put it (Hitting the nail on the head) "we're both very strongly opinionated people" "and we have different views on things" and called a truce. But i think it only took about 20 minutes after that untill we started arguing whether (If the option arises) that my brother should Press Charges on the Attacker.
My View:
Matthew Should press charges, It will teach the attacker a lession and will put an end to the matter. The attacker is then less likely to do it again because he has been recognised and any further assult will be blamed on this person or people around him. I also know for a fact this person either has an ASBO or will get an ASBO or fine or accumulate to a fine/Asbo/Possible prison sentance if this happens.
My Mums View:
Matthew should no go to Walcot at all what so ever (Where my dad lives) and if we want to see him we should meet him in the Town Centre. He should not press charges and let it blow over because (Even though this person does'nt know where they live) she is worried that they will get the backlash of the incident. This also means that the person doing it gets away with it but she says that her view is the one that is with Mats best intrest in mind.
What do you think?
A lot of people put Walcot down, I dont blame them but thats not to say that everybody here are all Drug Taking Violent Theifing Assholes. I have many friends in the area and its not their fault they are here and it pisses me right off when people in other areas put the people of walcot down because of the reputation of a very small minority.
The way she was talking about it was like her area (Town Centre) is the best place to be and thinks its a higher level than walcot. But (Read the Adver) the paper always says about the latest killing or mugging in the town centre. You hear about stabbings and that sort of thing once in a blue moon in walcot.
So with this in mind i questioned my mum about what if someone did that in town to her? Everybody goes to town, especially alot of drunk people and i asked her would she had been assulted in the town centre, would she press charges? "No" she said. I dont know what you would make out of that, but in my view, for mats best interest he should think about him self on his decision.
Anyway most importantly Mats Ok. He got his wound glued up in the hospital (Even though it took Two People to put him back together) and was sent home.
On my way home from the hospital i called a taxi to get me home. While i was waiting for the taxi there was a taxi driver having problems with an injured drunk man. Earlier, when we got to A&E at GWH the same drunk man had been treated and an hour later he was sent home in a taxi. This taxi had pulled up back outside the hospital with the man inside afterwards and the drunk man was instructed to eave the taxi and a confused nurse was trying to figure out what to do with him. Anyway i called my taxi and waited in the main reception. The taxi that came was the guy who was having problems with the drunken injured man.
Dunno if you read lately about the Taxi drivers getting loads of grief from customers. Well this one had LOADS of it tonight! Poor guy, He was really distressed. I think he was glad to get a customer that wasn't an abusive waster. He was telling be about his problems with the Injured drunk man, With the man drinking cans of beer in his car, spilling it, Pulling the steering wheel, Telling the driver he'll kill him, Almost Crashing! Thats bad! He was telling me that he asked if he could only go on days because nights were stressing him out, and he had no protection from people like that and was seriously considering his job. He likes the sort of work but doenst like the drunk, Threatening or abusive customers. I told him i can kind of relate to that as i was in a similar position in my last job at the nightclub (No protection, drunk and abusive customers) but his sounds twice as scary. I hope he gets what he wants or that he finds a better Job.
Just as my brother Mat was going home, Not even 30 seconds away from my dads house, one of them who was involved in smashing the window had seen my brother and punched him in the head. Not only that but he had given my brother a gash in his Left Eyebrow, in within 10 seconds blood had gone completly down his Millwall Shirt. We Called the police and had taken my brother to the hospital.
Now my mum was called to come to the hospital and we have come to an agreement that things were probably best as they are between us both as she put it (Hitting the nail on the head) "we're both very strongly opinionated people" "and we have different views on things" and called a truce. But i think it only took about 20 minutes after that untill we started arguing whether (If the option arises) that my brother should Press Charges on the Attacker.
My View:
Matthew Should press charges, It will teach the attacker a lession and will put an end to the matter. The attacker is then less likely to do it again because he has been recognised and any further assult will be blamed on this person or people around him. I also know for a fact this person either has an ASBO or will get an ASBO or fine or accumulate to a fine/Asbo/Possible prison sentance if this happens.
My Mums View:
Matthew should no go to Walcot at all what so ever (Where my dad lives) and if we want to see him we should meet him in the Town Centre. He should not press charges and let it blow over because (Even though this person does'nt know where they live) she is worried that they will get the backlash of the incident. This also means that the person doing it gets away with it but she says that her view is the one that is with Mats best intrest in mind.
What do you think?
A lot of people put Walcot down, I dont blame them but thats not to say that everybody here are all Drug Taking Violent Theifing Assholes. I have many friends in the area and its not their fault they are here and it pisses me right off when people in other areas put the people of walcot down because of the reputation of a very small minority.

ANGER
Following on from the last post, my dad thought it would be a great idea to put the glass in a black bag hanging from the banester rail on the landing right in the way of peoples feet. GREAT IDEA!
He kicked it 3 times and never moved it, but had shoes on. i kick it once and tare my foot to shreds.
SMART!
Walcot Wasters
Some T*** through a brick through the window in the toilet at my dads house when i was out baby sitting.
Im gonna hunt them Down!

Doing my heeed in
I'm Ill today. Been dizzy all day and had an on/off pain in my stomach. I think its the Dilute drink again. I was gonna babysit again today but neither Caroline who had been up with a Baby kicking inside her all night or i was in any shape of looking after other peoples kids.
I'm really getting fustrated with the radio thing. Its really hard to get into this radio thing, i knew it would be hard but its silly and it doesnt help when people slag you off which can cause you to not get in.
As regards to my work I have sometimes questioned whether or not people just tell me what i want to hear, but then again i'm not sure because people ask me to do the odd show or jingle from time to time. I've been told my presenting is getting better (I regularly get other people to listen to bits of my show to see if im doing ok) but the other week i was really getting stressy about it because i'm never saticfied with myself! ITS DOING MY HEEEED IN!!!
I'm thinking on whether my demo's not good enough or if my voice sounds crap, or if i havnt put enough if too much personality into my work or if i need to try harder or if its not what they are looking for even though i know i can do it anyway.
If you wonder why it is so hard to get into radio/ Job at a radio station, there are a few reasons that make it harder
Time wasters
There are a quite a few people out there who waste time. People have this thing of thinking they are the best. A good example is the X-Factor. look at all them people who come on saying "My names Bill Ryerson, i'm from Stoke and i know i've got the X-FACTOR!" and when they open their mouth its a nasty out of tune audio mess. These people waste time because if they dont sound any good they wont get anywhere. You have to be honest with your self, Really you should get a few honest friends to tell you if your any good.
On top of that If anybody considering getting into radio is reading this, dont just think "My jobs crap, i'll try at this radio station because it sounds easy" you are terribly very wrong. You really have to be honest with yourself and you really should consider how much you want it because it is bloody hard. I would do almost anything to get into this medium. just sending a few CDs with something you havnt seriously thought about to stations wont work at all. The time wasters who do this make the Program Controllers so annoyed sometimes they don't even listen to CD's that come in and throw them away so not even the people with talent are heard.
Station Style
This one gets MY back up because this goes by how they want their presenters. You can't just walk in and be the next Kenny Everett, Phil Wheeler, Scott Mills, Dave Barret, Perry Spiller, Chris Moyles, Chris Evans, Chris Tarrent, Jo Wiley, Sandy Martin, Adam Smith, Steve Wright, Simon Hirst, Mark & Lard and do what they did/do because:
1: Your supposed to be your self. DONT TRY AND COPY ANYBODY
2: Most stations want people nowadays who only want the presenter to sound a certain way, maybe your voice or your style of presentation has to sound a certain way so you will meet the stations target audience (you wouldnt expect a Fun fast action packed radio show to be on a local BBC station because their listeners are on the older end of the scale)
You have to fit in with the radio stations Style. GWR for example only want someone who can read out something, Back announce the songs and someone with a certain voice. If you havnt got the Voice you dont get in. If you have too much Personality or too little personality or you dont say the words like they want you to, you dont get in and that pissed me off. I have a personallity and thats why people listen. I can paint a picture in someones head, It keeps people, but certain places wont have that.
Its Just a show
Well actually no. Mostly a show may be just part of your duties, the rest of the day you might have to plan your show, or answer the phones or you might have to be a news or travel gatherer.
People seem to want to apply for an on air job all the time which people think is easy. The Chances are that you will most likely do something like be a tea person, Door unlocker or studio assistant to start off with and not get on air at all.
At Swindon FM i did this for about a year before doing my first show which was Pre-Recorded first before i did a Live show, however i impressed station manager with what i could do on Cool Edit Pro and also had to almost run the station in order to get that far. You really have to proove your self. If yout not prepared to do that sort of thing then you might aswell have not even sent that first letter.
In Reality you lift the Microphone fader up, the red light comes on and then it hits you. You need to get your stuff together before you even think about getting on air because turning that mic on and saying nothing or stummering isnt going to sound very good to the listeners is it?
Luckily enough the station manager was very happy to have my help at Swindon FM and started letting me on air even though i wasnt station Style, (See Above) I did try!
Back to my Point
Its Really doing my head in. the only things i can think about that is that i wish that the station managers would open my letters and like what i do! Not only that but realise of how much help i can be to the station. I could probably make a station sound Ten Million Dollars if i was there. I dont know what to make of it!
anyway 03:30 on Friday morning, i'd better be off to bed.
