RIP Richard Whitely

It has been a long while since my last post. During that time I have been to Croatia and South Africa. The second of these trips was certainly one of the best trips I have been on. My mate Rob wrote a pretty good email to everyone about it so instead of writing my own, I'll just copy that one in another post.
Also in that time I was offered my position at work on a permanent basis; which I accepted. Subsequently I am a rather busy man at work at the moment and so I have not had the free time to update my blog as I did in the past.
Also in that time, I met the girl of my dreams - more on her in the future.

Today however I am having a duvet day - well I was feeling a bit shit this morning and I really couldn't face up to sitting at my desk all day and so I called in for my first sick day. So today, after my biggest fan again enquired about the absence of any posting, I am making a come back (again.) I bought a laptop a couple of weeks ago, so I can now post at home, which is proberly where I will be when I do in future.

And so, to the point: A few weeks ago Richard Whitely the host of one of the longest running shows in Brtitain; countdown, died. Countdown was the show to watch on a weekday afternoon. Anyone who may spend a day at home through temporary unemployment, sick days, or duvet days will tell you that it is just not the same without countdown. They will not replace Richard and the show will likely never return, this also means that we will miss out on everyone's favourite hostess; Carol Vorderman. At this time when Countdown should be on, I feel empty, something is missing. I haven't had lunch though so that might be it, but I would more accurately suggest it is the lack of me not being able to work out words with more than 5 letters in while those on tele always seem to manage 8. Oh well, I should really be at work anyway. RIP Richard Whitely
