Norway a distant utopia

Hello again fellow readers





I am in john lennon airport awaiting for my flight out of country and back into Norway where i have been meaning to visit for a while now. I am looking around at this airport and as you may or may not know Liverpool for some reason has become Europes capital of culture 2008 and the question that i ask myself is why? Because there is nothing in Liverpool for it to be deserving to have a title like that. All i am seeing in this airport posters and quotes from the beatles and that is it and to me that seems its all Liverpool has got to offer as a city and also them stupid bananlamb things which was not even Liverpools idea in the first place and due to this the actual artist is now sueing the city council for not asking permission to use these daft things from the beginning.





So i am looking at this screen to find out where my gate is and this fat stupid scouse guy stands in front of me obstructing my view of the screen and anyone who saw him standing in front of me would of approached that man and said "Hey as you can clearly see that the guy behind you was looking at the screen and you have just blocked his view of it". This annoyed me because he only was looking at the screen very briefly and for the rest of the time he stood there eating a sandwhich from the airport cafe but that was not my main problem my problem was where he was flying too that day. He was only flying to Glasgow which was only a 3 hour commute by train and he has probably been at the airport 2 hours before departure and the plane was not ready for another hour and a half and plus the 30 minute journey time also.





30 minutes later my gate appeared on the screen and i so i approach my gate and then later i board my plane and sit next the window which was not as it used to be because i am around 6,3 6,4 and i have to crouch to see clouds now. An elderly couple were sat next to me for the duration of the flight and they had not been to Norway since they were 17 and they looked around 70 to 80 years old so it was nice for them to get away from it all. It was nice talking to them but i have never seen such elderly drinkers because they bought a 6 pack of vodka bullseye and this was quite extrodinary yet quite disturbing to see them drinking so much whilst 30,000 feet in the air.



We landed in Torp (oslo) 5 minutes early and i met up with my uncle and set out straight to the shop to work. Once i was at the shop i was working on placing the DVDs back on the shelves when i heard the noise to alert the shop assistants of people entering the shop and i looked around and saw a couple of people wearing grey pajamas and at first i thought well this is norway a place where people don't really give a dam to what people were wearing , however even for norsk standards it was weird because some shoppers saw me and then were interested to see what i was seeing and then even they looked confused to see two people wearing pajamas in the shop but what made it more wierd was the time they were wearing them and it was not even before 5 pm that this little parade took place.

After i had finished work i then set off home to have some tea and this was around 11:30pm. My auntie was at her friends so it was just me and my uncle left to our own devices when i came to making something to eat and because my uncle is useless to cooking and i had no clue what to make at the time we ended up eating bread and natural yogurt for that night with a glass of orange flavoured water.

The story so far....

Its been a while

Not been on for a while been working allot lately. i have been working for about 2-3 months now with the Royal Bank of Scotland as a data entry clerk, And to be honest its quite a crap job sounds good on paper but practically crap. I mean the people i work with are great, there are one or two that are pains in the arse but you always get idiots at jobs these days.

So 1 month from Turkey Cannot wait to get there got my money saved up just need some holiday clothes and then im set to kick back and relax for a week and have some fun in the sun. Its going to be quite fun although we have already kicked someone off this holiday but she deserved it . Any way moving on as far as i know its going to be in Marmaris a very lively part of turkey and our plane sets off from Manchester airport at 3:30pm and we arrive at 8pm i think.

i am also "Hopefully" going to be going to Dublin.Ireland in September with my brother and his and my friends for one week also in a 10 man cottage although there is not going to be 10 people going. Thats if i am not at college by then. I decided to go to college to study Web Design and Development at a college just outside the city which i go to the open day on June 28th.

But I've got to go i have a driving lesson now, Oh yeah thats another development in my life so far "Driving" the roads are going to love me.

Goodbye all.

Turkey

Hey everyone sorry not been on here not much has happened. Well im off again on my travels this time im off to Marmaris in Turkey on July the 12th . be back on here when im in turkey. good bye

Major change of plan ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Right so during my second week in norway instead of staying here for one month im staying here for 2 weeks and 3 days now because i was planning on staying here for a month but that did not go to plan then i was going to go a week on sunday but then i found out my mum was throwing a party and wanted me to be there and that was on saturday so i was gonna catch the flight back on friday but there was no flight on that day so then we tried thursday and same again no flight so we checked Wednesday and now im coming back next wednesday.

but at the moment im not doing hardly anything so i think its better for me to go back and start looking for an education and plan a night out for my birthday.

So i'll cya soon this is going to be my last post from norway so cay when i get back into england

BYE!

Week 1 in Norway

So i am in norway after giving up looking for another job which will only lead for me being redundant again! anyway so i arrived in Norway on sunday evening and the flight sucked big time i was too tall for the seats and my legs could not fit behind the seat because although ryanair are cheap and always on time (10 mins early) but they are not award winning when it comes to comfort. Anyways i have not been doing much just helping my uncles out doing oddjobs and keeping much more fitter than i was before just going for long walks and eating like 5-6 fruits a day and i have just recently signed up with a gym over here which is good. The weather so far is not the best but instead of snow its has been raining but for a couple of days now it has been sunny and also today its clear. its nice and chilled out here nice views unlike some parts of england if only england was like norway with a small population no polish people in sight and always cheerful. But i guess if we were all the same the world would just be boring. I had a big talk about my future yesterday about what i should do because i have been offered to stay here until summer and help fix up and work in one of my uncles new bars or i go back to england find a job or go back there and pursue an education.

Well i think im going to go back in a couple of weeks and start looking for an education i think thats important. I speak to so many people who say "hey your lucky your earning money and im here getting a sucky education" well take it from me i am 16 turning 17 in 2 weeks and already since i have left school i have been through 4 jobs already Roofing,volunteer work in holland ,marketing,and telesales. Now that is alot within about 7-9 months of me leaving high school and i cannot go anywhere higher because my education is crap. So this is why i am going to have an education because i need positive and stable future. So i advise that an education counts even if its boring that boring stuff you will learn will give you a house a car and a family. So don't rush your life in education like i did because it could ruin you and your family.

Cya later guys im off to the GYM!!!! (and keep fit and stay off junk because suicide is not and option)

Hello all fellow readers

Hey everyone im back. So 2 months out of school i started a new job with a "Professional" marketing company called P&G marketing and they apparently were selling big named products to the public e.g Disney,Vivitar,Crayola which is true because i saw the products for myself but i was tied into a new division within the company and we were selling a car care product called FW1 or Fast wax 1 which was a wash and wax in a tin and was apparently HUGE in the states. So on my first week i made about 20-25 sales and my trainee manager thought i was a pretty cool guy infact to be honest i had 2 guys helping me and they were called Jack and Ian. Now on my 2nd week Not so good making the same old sales but then i came to i think it was tuesday which was my last day with the company but i did'nt know that. So i was told to go to the far side of manchester and do some pitching to customers at a texaco garage. And i was with another newbie called Robbie he was a nice guy but a snitch but i will get to that in a moment. Anyway here is the reason i got fired is because a man in white van pulls up and i went up to him to try and sell this product and he said something like " i would'nt think about doing that my lad" i say "why not?" and he goes because this my son is a military vehicle and if the army finds out what you've done they will slay you for it". Now at this point i burst out laughing at this customer think WHAT A TARD! and so we get kicked off the fuel station and had to go to our trainee managers area where he was selling. And Ian grabs robs and goes something like "How was amir today" or something like that and he really dropped me into and got the sack because of that ass. But i got the better winnings because he gave me his notepad with everthing he needed to know in order to teach others and i forgot to give it to him. so i still have that book well just blank pages the reszt of its in the bin and he would of probably had to start from scratch OWNED!.

Now 2 weeks after i get fired i found another job with a company called Communications Direct now this was based in the nice modern area of Salford (Harbour City) and in my first week i met so many cool people and they were called ,Chris,Bilal,Joe,Anthoney,Ryan,Kerry(who left on something like day 3,Amanda,Qasim, and err oh yeah not forgeting peter. now the only person i had a problem with was this peter guy the gayiest guy i have ever met now he was a nice guy to talk to but his voice was so annoying it was unbelivable and another problem with him was he was way way TOO OPEN about his sexuality and i had a problem with that and i tried to avoid him as much as possible but he clearly was Puff of the year 2006 no doubt about it. Anyway so we were given one weeks training and then after that week on our first official day we all got off to a great start and i got some sales early in the morning which i thought was impressive and so a few hours later at around 4pm if i can remember this guy comes running in to our office and goes "OKAY GUYS I WANT ALL 8 OF YOU TO LOG OFF AND HEAD TO THE 7th FLOOR PLEASE DO IT DO IT NOW PLEASE THANK YOU" HURRY UP" and so i thought are we this good that we get to go home early because our shift was supposed to be 9am-6pm.

So i am at the 7th floor we are all wondering what the hell is going on and then you've got anthoney complaining about the weather and talking about a vending machine. He was a jamaican guy very very funny and a really nice guy to talk to. so at about 4:30pm we heard this short fat welsh guy say "Can you all crowd round please all of you" "Our administrators from head office have told me that the manchester office is not making its target and we have been told to cease trading immediatly" at this point i was bang on the phone telling my dad what had happened there were quite a few on the phones as soon as he mentioned it and it was like being in a stock exhange or somthing. Then some other woman who was from the admin of head office said " We cannot say how sorry we are and those who are wondering about their pay you will have to make a claim off the goverment" and as soon as she said that! a huge ARGHHH was let off in the room and everyone had to collect their redundant papers. during while all that was happening a few people was heading downstairs and disconnecting computer moniters and mouses and completly dismantleing the office i would of took a moniter but instead i took a mouse for my laptop because i had no room in my bag.

so i headed home after all that but i e-mailed the guiness world records a day later to ask them if i am the youngest and fastest person made redundant in the world they said they will contact me within 4-6 weeks to confirm that. So who knows maybe it will.

So now i am going to go to norway for a while for vacation because im getting really annoyed about getting a job never keeping it for more than a month.

so i will keep you updated while on vacation and take some photos of my journey in norway,

Cya later
