Hammersmith Apollo last night.

Now I'm a fan of charity comedy shows, you can get together a taste of the current crop of artists and out of that you can pick future gigs to go to,this is one of the things I miss about Edinburgh and the comedy festival which that town offers up every summer,I asked a friend to join me at the hammersmith apollo last night for a "big night of comedy" Ben Elton disappointed but he does patron the charity  and he wrote Blackadder,so I guess we have to endure his soft "anger",I guess how he is now is what Paul Merton meant when he said this what he was always like behind his 80's right on persona.I think the lady sat in front of my friend was allergic to him as she trumpeted into her hanky every time Elton came on stage,my symptoms differed but were equally timed. Note to self:avail yourself of the bar or turn up late when ex big brother contestants turn up to do a spot,Paul Tompkinson making derogatory dog/sex/nagging wife noises irritated,obviously pandering to the forty something  crowd,but you got the feeling this was just a filler for better things to come I just didn't think that the better thing was the tube journey home, listening to Danny bakers radio show on my iPhone. Then Richard Herring re enacted his old sketch "the girl who smelled of spam at school" cringeworthy the audience were confused,you could feel it. My friend left early as the lighting was too low for her to read her  issue of private eye that says it all we searched for clever satire that night,we got a tired insipid night bereft of entertainment. Free from criticism is doc brown he entertained and looked a step apart from the others I would  happily pay to see his own show.

The Photo?

The Lighthouse I have featured is the Bell Rock,Britains oldest beacon and my fathers favourite lighthouse,he was a lighthouse keeper for the northern lighthouse board www.nlb.org.uk before automation in the 90's shortly after his retirement he passed.

The Bell Rock recently celebrated it's 200th anniversary and i keep this picture showing a beacon for the safety of shipping in that part of the world as a beacon of hope for me that one day i may find a job that i will love as he did his.

Recruitment Agencies

Uncomfortable Prada shoes on,shiny black suit on back sleeveless shirt on (so what its warm who will know)

Last night in a stark realisation that i have spent the last week and a half  of my holiday not applying for a new job, I blitzed throgh various job sites,firing off my C.V. like a serious shoot em up gamer. I must admit toward the end of my sortie on the job market I didn't even care what I was applying for just noting the location wage and job type.

Then when I get there they inform me of the need for a driving licence which I don't have,I asked why they thought not to ask this when they were trying to register me to their agency a blank look told me all i needed to know.

They just want numbers on their books.

I feel stupid for not getting out of my current job earlier 10 years is 5 years too long if i'm honest i could have done a degree,travelled whatever but i'm stuck and at the mercy of these recruiters who you wouldn't normally talk to.

i will take the first thing thats offered to me and i will leave my current job as i cannot bare to see that company be run into the ground by ego ridden teenagers masquerading as managers (most of whom will be found guilty of fraudulent activity within 3 years) and a team of part time staff who have there own priorities (rightly so) i can see in 3 years that company won't be on the high street so i'm looking to leave as soonly as possible.

Introduction

From this place i shall write observations, I also have a basic blog about mobile phone advice on www.dicksonp.blogspot.com,there is a link on here for it, I got fed up of people socially asking me questions about their phones,like i cared ! so this blog is a referral point leaving me free to think of comic prose.
