Just when I thought it was safe......
Hell, escape from hell has been a sucess - only to be posted to Motherwell Area Control Room....Well, at least it aint N div in real terms!!!!!!!!
Yes, thats right - Another post - Its a miracle really....
I flew into London on 16th August for 2 days - primarily to see the We Will Rock You Musical with friends - I was only going because Brian and Rgoer were there and there was a slight chance that they may play something. In the end they did not play but the accepted some awards and made some speeches.
On arrival in London I called up Jamie [From the tour ] WWW.LIVEJOURNAL.COM/USERS/MYPRETTYCABINET [refers] and we went for lunch. We ate in Garfunkels in Tottenham Court Road. It was ok, nothing special.
After that we went for a walk and ended up walking to Hyde Park and lay out under the trees at the same spot where we had queued only 4 weeks earlier to see Queen. We could still see the markings on the ground where the stage had been.
The eather was amazingly warm and it was so easy to forget that you were actually in London [It is not normally easy to forget being in London]. After a while we decided to go to the Diana Memorial Fountail which, cheesyness aside, is actually really pretty and exceptionally relaxing.
We took off our socks and shoes, rolled up our trousers and dipped out feet in like everone else - this is encouraged. To describe it as a fountain is actually incorrect as it is more of a large circular stream with flowing water - very relaxing.
Jamie and I with our feet in the water
Me looking cool as always - complete with rolled up trousers
I made comments about various people - the three homosexual muscle men - obviously foreign and the man in the red shorts. Jamie took a shine to a man reading the same book as she had just read and we both laughed at the couple having the closest thing to sex without actually having sex that you could imagine.
The 3 Homosexuals!!!!!
The couple having sex!!!!!!
We then moved on and I spotted the adonis of the day - Bicycle Boy - hence the title of this post. He was gorgeous and was stripped to his shorts, leab=ning against a tree with his bike beside him. He was obviously a courier taking a break but he knew how gorgeous he was and he knew what I was doing when I went for a closer inspection. A truly gorgeous man and I never even spoke with him!!!!
See, told you he was gorgeous!!!!
After that we moved on as I had to meet with my friend Charles whom I was staying with - it was a shame to leave such a nice place.......
Thanks to Jamie for all the pics of the park.

Ohhh nearly forgot......!!!!!
I start my new job on Monday 22nd August 2005 - have no idea where I will be working as yet but hey, It is away from N Division - thats all that matters.
The BBQ and other ramblings
Dels BBQ was a good day and although I suspect he had a slight inclination that something was a foot, he seemed to enjoy it. I mananged to avoid speaking with Dels father all day which, I imagine, suited him as much as it suited me. His mother wass her usual self and we had a brief conversation.
Fee was ok despite the pain in her leg and hip but her mother was not too well so she left with her husband early on. I spent most of the day speaking with Stewart and also with Fees father - all very interesting.
After it was all over, those of us who were staying, moved into the house and continued the chat and drinking. I eventually went to bed as I was tired and also since one of the other people there, the maid of honour at the forthcoming wedding, was becoming a pain in the arse aand I really could not stand it any longer.
No photos from this event.

So where the hell have I been???
Sorry for the lack of posts but life has been the usual whirlwind of traipsing around Europe and generally just following Queen+Paul Rodgers everwhere.....stalkers of the world unite.
Applied for another job within the Police and I have been succesful - Oh how I love the smell of success. Don't know the start date yet but I will be the supervisor at the new area control roon soon!!!! Yipeeeee
Also, been to Holland and London to see Queen+Paul Rodgers - London was sad as it was the last night of the tour but was made sadder by the fact it was shortly after the London terror attacks and there were 5000 members of the emergency services there.
Going back to London to see We Will Rock You on 17th August with the usual crew - Brian and Roger are there so they may perform. After that - Off to NYC in October to see Queen+Paul Rodgers again with all the usual suspects.
More to follow if my life actually gets remotly interesting again.
Ohhh nearly forget - Off to Dels surprise bbq tomorrow.
