In my last post I promised I would post a little more regularly and well as you can tell if you keep an eye on this thing I haven't kept that promise....but in my defence I have stupidly busy with work, it's been the end of year school party season and I've come to the conclusion that I dislike school children with a passion! I think I may be in the wrong job!

So it's been nearly a month since my last entry, that's a long time for you poor people who read this to wait for an update to my life.....well if my reading figures are true there are a few out there who do take the time out of there busy lives to read the drivel I come up with, so to those people thanks for sticking around and I promise to be better at updating in the future!

So where to begin with this one?

One of the biggest regrets of my life was when at the tender age of 15 I cheated on my then girlfriend Kel by kissing her best friend Lauren when she was away on holiday. I did it on a drunken Friday night at the Town Hall and before you all question how it was allowed that a 15 year old was drunk, let's just say they played fast and loose with the law and besides it was a different time and the world was very much a different place, how else can you explain how they'd get away with playing Children of the Night at least five times a night for us?

It was Benjamin Franklin who said the only two certainties in life are paying taxes and death. I've been on this planet for 43 years now and I can attest to the first one on  an almost daily basis, but lets not dwell on the amount we all pay. The second one not so often but recently its hit home a little bit that we are on this planet only for a finite time and that eventually we all leave this mortal plane.

It's been a while since my last post and a lot has gone on, some bad but mostly good, some sad some funny, some involving drunken midgets and that isn't a joke but that's for later.

I love a good practical joke, during my younger years I was very proficient in pulling off some that looking back were how can I put it not very nice. Laxatives in drinks, putting a nine volt battery upside down in a urinal so that when the urine stream hit it the person using the facilities would get a little shock in a delicate area, sending a video of a clown via Facebook Messenger to someone who was deathly afraid of them all rank in the maybe I shouldn't of done those but it seemed funny at the time.

So this week saw me complete another trip around the sun and add another year to my total. I've never been a huge one for big birthday celebrations and this year was no different. I've never felt the need for big parties or big events and normally I treat the day like it's any other. This year wasn't much different. I spent my actual birthday watching some of my favourite films of all time The Naked Gun (original not remake), Hot Fuzz and The Goonies, after having lunch out with my mum, nan and two aunts, yes I had officially joined the Furnell females club! 

A new year is upon us and I think everyone has that little look back at what has occurred to them during the previous twelve months and try and see if it'd had been a good one, a bad one or one that could be improved on. Well that is if my facebook feed is anything to go by anyway!

On a recent meet up with the legend that is Emma, we went to the cinema to watch the new release Eternity starring Elizabeth Olsen and MIles Teller. It takes a simple concept in the afterlife you have to choose one thing to do for eternity. It can be anything, now obviously the film isn't as straight forward as that, they is a love triangle involving two husbands  who both had the same wife, one for two years before dying whilst away at war and one for 65 years. Both had different ideas on how they wanted to spend there afterlife's with her, 

One thing I've learnt in the past couple of years is that friends are important. I don't honestly think I would be here today without them all.  Whether it be from the drunken escapades with drunk phone calls to the other side of the world to the endless chats about anything and everything, I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm not going to name names they know who they are and how much I value them.  It's been great not only looking to our shared past but also making plans for the future.

The title of this post says it all really and yes it's to do with my lump or Rameses as I've come to know it as. It's gotten bigger which is bad, more fluid build up which is also bad but the good news is that I finally got to see a specialist and he has decided to slice my head open and remove the thing instead of draining it and hoping it doesn't refill again. Which is in my opinion is good news. Well maybe not the slicing open bit but the removal part YES YES YES!!!
