Dinesy come back!

biddy-bye-bye-bye-bye, biddy-bye-bye-bye-bye!

Thought I'd start my message with some nostalgic 90's tune as I know you love them. I can't understand why my name would come up like that its a perfectly normal name hahaha

You seem like you are having a ball. Everyone at work is missing you but at least our team is getting a regular slice of Dines by reading your blogs. I've moved now and am sat next to the Hop and opposite LP so I can keep my eye on them. Me and Nat are having an engagement do next Month and I'm going to dedicate an hour of 90's tunes to you, "The Dinesy 90's power hour!" What do you think?

Well best be off, hope REM rocks and keep us filled in.

Right.... somehow (do not ask me how!) the last 2 albums that i have put on here both seem to be full of other peoples pictures.. and none of my own! This has puzzled me quite a bit. Anyway - i am just in an Apple store in Buffalo waiting for a train to Chicago tonight so i will try and put the pictures on again in the next day or so. I will delete the 2 albums now as god knows whose pictures they are! Thanks Helen for pointing this out - i bet you thought we had all well changed in the last 3 weeks ha!

Hey u :)

Cheers for writing on my wall! sounds like your still having fun, even after travelling 27hours!

Yeah i will keep you posted with things about work (even tho they may bore you :P)... Nicola,charlotte,adam,oliver and zoe have moved from our team to another... as they have more teams now after the TL recruitment.. So also me,paul and phipps are sat in the same place, but right infront of opps and champion as they have moved to where we sit!!.... Told you it wasn't very interesting....

Also by the time you get back, you will have to make me a new rayjay name plate :P Me and kyle are planning our wedding! In Cyprus.. Only in July 2010 so another 12months after you get back... But a lot of planning to do... So you will have to jet out for mine n ky's wedding.. Mr phipps apparently is being our vicar.. he's going to get a license from the internet and everything!! Hahahaha

Rightio just a short one today, got to rush for work

Bye hun xx

Oh and dad - please dont tell me you went to Raffs?? Oh but maybe there is an OAP night one night so you could go along to that mwahahaha!

Ruth thanks for the Bug advice - although hopefully i'll be bug free from now on (fingers crossed)

Pete - when i typed your surname in on my bog it came up with **** - they obviosuly hate you on here! It also confused my sister as i called you Mr ****... very mysterious. Hope you are getting used to being back at work after your time off!

Right bed time now definately - i've not really slept properly in about 27 hours now.

Just thought i'd write a quick message on here.. even though its my own site - just to clarify - mum you sent me 2 messages - 1 was an email and 1 came through on this message board thing. When you said Gerry had a heart attack i didnt know what you were talking about - but then i realised - Corrie. Phew..Oi Helen - less of the porky digs haha - but yes i have been eating well - especially the last few days with liz's cousin - it was constant food! Loved it! If i dont write agin before - to all the family have an ace time at Centre parks - make sure the pics etc go up on facebook so i can see them.

I noticed in the paper today that the kid who won Britains got talent is the kid that does all his break dancing outside our work on Market street - i always knew he'd go far haha.

Yes mum i would of course like to sponsor you - let me know how! Can i do it online?

Georgie - i love the story about the tramp - could only happen to you really. I loved NY as well, could have stayed much longer. The pendulum album helpded get me through lots of my massive train journey today - i love the first track.. and the one that talks about 'your brother.. your mother' makes me titter.

Bulmer - burning food???!! Tut tut on you! I've had loads of good american food recently such as ribs, BBQ chicken etc.. all GOOOOD!

Gemma i love the sound of the sexy robot song.. that sounds like one definately for dancing on my bed to!

Sarah M - didnt get chance to go to that place you mentioned but had an ace time anyway - love NY!

Off to bed now, cant wait to explore Toronto tomorrow - we got here late so my bed got booked out but now i have my own private room with double bed so well happy!

Well yes, I did get it wrong - suprise suprise. Don't know if you got my message yesterday but will recap briefly. Gerry has had a heart attack, his wife has come back and is a bit like Cilla. Dad did something to a bunny that I can't tell you about. Helen has told you everything that I was going to tell you. Really like your pictures. Can't believe how clean and tidy you all look. Bet you don't look like that in another 6 months time. Bet you will have a beard down to your waist. I must agree with Helen - you are looking a bit porky now! Helen and I are doing the race for life next month. Would you like to sponsor me? Amy is going on her German exchange soon and dad is away so me and Buster are going to party party party !! Off to Centre Parcs on Friday where I am going to try belly dancing at last. Might do horseriding as well. Hope that your not too worn out after your long trip to Canada. Helen and Amy have put marker flags on the map in your bedroom. Better go now as I'm at work. Speak to you soon. Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hay Matt,

Photos at last! They are great. Ooh, I would give anything to be on South Beach/Miami Beach, whatever the hell its called! Washington & NYC look great as well.................oh & I'd really love to watch a baseball game! Can you tell I am very jealous!

Thanks for writing on my wall - oh & thank Liz. Sorry I haven't replied yet - never written on anyones wall yet. Thats sad isn't it! I sound like mother! Speaking of which, she was supposed to be sending you a meesage last night whilst she was working - can't see it though! She wasn't very confident about it - maybe she's sent it as an e-mail. We had the mad Dines's round for a BBQ on Sat night & watched "Britains Got Talent" It was very exciting! We missed you though! Off to Centre Parcs this weekend - will really miss you then. Me & amy will have to sing & dance wildly without you - it really won't be the same! I actually thought you only sung & danced wildly with your sisters, but apparantly from reading your blogs thats not true! You must inflict your madness everywhere you go!

I did notice you had a little role of flab on the pic of you on the beach - Gran will be pleased - your obviously eating well - or is that just the beer! I am only joking! Don't get a complex - think its actually just you skin as your bending over! You still look lean in your other photos.

Have you time in Canada.

Bye for now. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey! I have only just read all you blogs in one! i don't know where I was when this group reading of the blog happened! Sounds like you are having an amazing time, I'm very jealous. The stir fry sounds good, I'm glad you haven't forgotten to update me on the food situation. I got extremely wasted on friday and attempted to cook potato wedges when i got in- fell asleep when they were in the oven and they were like charcoal when I woke up I was gutted! Oh well. Mr Phipp's has replaced you know on advising what to have for tea- he's quite good! Hope you aren't missing us all too much! take care x

I forgot about Pendulum! Yes, I am RELISHING the new album :)

Had to drive to Leeds the other day to pick up some paintings and I listened to Pendulum all the way there. Coming back however was a whole different kettle of fish as there'd been a massive accident on the M62 southbound and traffic was backed up to Leeds. I had to go home via Sheffield (it took 4 hours!) swearing profusely! Luckily I found a Levellers mix tape and had a mighty good singalong, cackling like a maniac when my favourites came on!

Dog Train made me laugh the most, didn't we used to do sit-ups to that?

Hello!

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it over there so far! I particularly liked the disgusting bug story.......... If that had happened to me I would NOT have been able to get back to sleep and I would have been all itchy for days!
We had a great time over in New York and the highlight for me was when a tramp talked to me Sam and Rachel as he nonchalently stole two MASSIVE cans of lager! He just slipped them under his see-through plastic poncho whilst talking to us about the price of a flight to England! When we left the shop he was peeing between two cars............ Got to go somewhere I suppose!
We were in a 'Duane Reade' pharmacy, sort of like Boots except they sell BEER!? And they sell MASSIVE cans of Budweiser and Fosters etc, nearly as big as Faxe. Remember Faxe? I took lots of photos of myself with the massive can of beer!

When we arrived at our hostel we looked in the cupboard for a blanket, found one, then I saw something else, pulled it out and it was a crusty old towel that someone had WEEED on! I have never smelt anything like it! I wafted it in front of Sam and Rachel's face screaming 'Smell This!'. They were horrified! I was horrified! The toilets are only in the corridor! There's a bin in the room! Surely it would have been better to just wee in the bin!? What kind of person wees on a towel then hides it!?
We put the towel into a carrier bag and got in the lift which was FULL of people and we tried so hard not to laugh or draw attention to the towel! Then we gave it to the girl at reception who was also horrified by it!

Heyya

Im so jealous of you, i wanna be in NY
So how are you ?
Mum still hasnt wrote her own message ( silly billy )
Buster says He misses you a lot ( like me )
Amy & Boo <3 x

Hey Matt :)

Just to let you know, the team enjoyed your blog,and laura delivered it very well, with such emotion :P and said "ACE!" just like you :P.

It sounds like your having such a good time, and were all very jealous, be cool to see your pics when your able to put them on!.

Miss the random dances and random songs... The only one's i get to listen to now, is the odd one from pete and paul..but there just simply not as good or entertaining.. we did have a bit of music time t'uther day actually, remember all the old uns... and suprisingly i think you would all have been 'your favourite songs' and ones you would just have to request on a night out! lol :p

so yeah glad to know your having a good time, and just a quick msg to let you know, were all missing ya here!!

Take Care matey

Bex xXx
