Masters Football

At the weekend I took my dad to the Midlands masters football at the NIA, Tom and Max came too. A really good day out topped off by wolves winning and going for a curry at Jimmy spices.

I didn't do allot else this weekend and tonight I have the fun of putting together an 8ft x 9ft IKEA bookcase.

I've had a cold now for what seems like for ever, hopefully I'm coming out the other end now and getting better.

I did my second half of the MBTI qualifying course on Monday and Tuesday and got 7 out of 8 on both dichotomies in my feed back (RESULT!). I am waiting on the results of my written exam to find out if I can call myself a qualified psychometrist and tell people that they are crazy.

The past 2 days I have been trying to find a song to accompany the brand launch of OPP's new branding and I have narrowed it down to 4 choices. One by Queen, one by the Automatic, one by the Libertines and one by The Kaiser Chiefs. The Queen one fits best with the brand image but it is a bit cheesy, the Kaisers one has a very tenuous link with the branding but everyone seems to like the song, the Libertines one has a better message but is a bit messy in the recording and I think the Automatic one is a bit heavy and the message is a bit negative. Cool job but ruddy hard to do.

Today I am camera man for this 16PF expert that has come across from the states to give a presentation to key members of the business. We are doing the presentation next month too but the guy is going to have gone home by then, hence the reason for the video.

Taking my dad for his father's day present tomorrow, quite looking forward to it, I would tell you what it is but it's a surprise and you never know who may read this.

2 Quizes in 2 Days

Last night I was the question master for the fist ever OPP pub quiz, held at the Exeter hall at the top of Cowley Road. The night was a real success, there were plenty of people there and everyone seemed to have a great time. More importantly I didn't have to buy a drink all night - I think I'll be question master next time too.

Quite funny really because I went to Al's leaving do at the Admiral Benbow in Milton on Wednesday night, it was supposed to be an aunt sally night but it rained so it turned out to be another pub quiz, which (thankfully) my team won. It was good to see the guys from RM again. My old team, which was 7 before Christmas is now down to only 3 people.

I had the day off today. Went to the official opening of Owens Way, I saw the Mayor. This afternoon I took Ellie for lunch at the fishes and then we went to a garden centre and to Salisbury's where I finally gave in an bough a new microwave and a free view box for the bedroom (good job it was payday yesterday). When we got home we did a blitz on the house work and the house is sparkling.

I also just watched another uninspiring display by England who led Brazil until the 92nd minute and then let in a late equalizer. RUBBISH!
