For those of you who don’t bother with the nation’s favourite waste of time – otherwise known as the social networking website Facebook! - this is the second part of a compilation of my ‘status updates’ on Facebook from the last few weeks.
Given that I don’t seem to ever find the time these days to update my blog here on www.softbulletin.co.uk, this will give those of you who are sufficiently interested in my antics a vague insight into what I’ve been up to lately…

Rich is up to £69.57 in sponsorship for his moustache! Big thanks for everyone who's dug deep so far! However, Rich is still £10.43 short of the £80 he needs to be eligable for a ticket for the Grand Moustache Ball in London - and the event takes place this weekend, so Rich needs to hit his target pretty soon! Www.richisgrowingamoforcharity.euwingamoforcharity.eu if any of you want to ensure he shall go to the ball..!

Rich is still buzzing from Thursday night, when he went to 'An Evening With Billy Davies' - BD being, for those of you who aren't footy fans, manager of Forest. It was a quality event, with BD very funny! When asked his views on Derby County, who he managed prior to Forest, his response was priceless: "Fuck 'em"!

Rich & Em went yesterday to the Good Food Show, & got to see Gordon Ramsey do a cooking demonstration! Best of all though, Em ended up taking part in a Masterchef 'Invention test' cook-off against nine other people, hosted by Andi Peters! Sadly she didn't win, but judges Gregg Wallace & John Torode both tried her chicken & cous cous and said complimentary things…cous cous & said complimentary things!

Rich is sorry that the weekend is over. As well as the excitement of the Good Food Show, Rich & Em also attended the Grand Movember Ball in London - Rich having managed, at the 11th hour, to hit the £80 sponsorship target required for him to be eligable for tickets. It was a mental night - 4,000 people with moustaches all in one place is certainly not something you see every day. Except, possibly, in certain parts of Iran..!n one place is certainly not a sight you see every day. Except, possibly, in certain parts of Iran!

Rich , now the month of 'Movember' is officially over, is as of this morning free of moustache! Thanks to everyone who coughed up sponsorship money, Rich's lip thatch raised £97.50 for the Prostate Cancer Charity. All in all, Rich & the other 129,999 men across the globe who grew taches for Movember have raised, according to latest figures, a staggering total of £8 million for charity!o latest figures, a staggering total of more than £8 million in donations!

Rich is finding that life without his Movember moustache is taking a bit of getting used to! He keeps finding himself involuntary stroking his top lip... only to realise that his lip thatch is no longer there! You can still sponsor Rich, and read the final instalment of his 'moustache diary', at http://www.richisgrowingamoforcharity.eu

Rich has had a crap evening. First he had a really bad migraine, and thus had to miss a gig he had tickets for by one of his fave bands. Then, Em went out in the car & got crashed into by a drunk driver. Fortunately she's okay, but the scrote who crashed into her has probably got away with it - as when the cops went to his house half an hour later and caught up with him, he told them he’d drunk six pints since he got in.house half an hour later, he told them he'd been sober... but had since drunk six pints.
Friday 4th December 2009
Rich is still furious about the drunk driver who crashed into his car on Wednesday night - the flames of his fury having been fanned by the fact that him and Em both ended up having to spend ages on the phone to the insurance folk yesterday, trying to get everything sorted out. Drunk drivers are selfish wankers and should be lined up against a wall and shot.
Saturday 5th December 2009
Rich has an exciting day about to unfurl itself in front of him today. First of all, him & Em are off out to buy a Christmas tree! Then, after that, Rich is off to watch Forest hopefully trounce Leicester. It may not be cool or rock'n'roll - but with it being so bloody cold, Rich is gonna be taking a thermos flask of soup to the match for half-time!
Sunday 6th December 2009
Rich has just enjoyed watching last night's 'Football League Show', which he recorded so he could see how the five goals Forest put past Leicester yesterday looked on telly! The pained look on the face of the programme's Leicester-supporting presenter Manish Bhasin as he introduced highlights of the game was priceless! Just a shame Robbie Savage wasn’t on the show this week as a guest analyst… a shame they didn't have Robbie Savage on again as guest 'expert'...
Monday 7th December 2009
Rich salutes his Scouse pal Mikey B. On Saturday, Mike went out in Liverpool - but couldn't get a cab back to the Wirrall. So, in a moment of drunken wisdom, he decided to get home by WALKING DOWN THE MERSEY TUNNEL! Alas, he only made it part of the way before getting busted. Unbelievably though, far from getting hauled over the coals, Mike actually smooth-talked the feds into giving him a lift home! Legend…r the coals, Mike charmed the feds into giving him a lift the rest of the way! Legend...
Tuesday 8th December 2009
Rich can confirm that festive madness is already in full swing at his school! Tomorrow is the Christmas Fair - & guess who's bloody been roped into being Santa?! Rich acquired the obligatory red suit and fake beard yesterday - & for a laugh decided to take it home so he could spring out, in full costume, on Miss Brown when she got in from work! Hopefully the kids won't be as terrified tomorrow as she was!
Wednesday 9th December 2009
Rich is pleased with the mighty Forest, who extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches last night with a gritty 0-0 draw away at Sheffield United. Strangely, Rich is actually going to Sheffield United's ground this evening - for a comedy night being held in one of the conference suites there! The do is being put on by Rich’s pal Max to raise money for the British Red Cross. Good luck mate – hope it’s a big success..!l Max to raise money for British Red Cross. Good luck mate - hopefully it'll be a big success!
Thursday 10th December 2009
Rich did a lot of 'ho ho ho'-ing yesterday! A considerable amount of the 'ho ho ho'-ing was done at the British Red Cross comedy night, which was fantastic - well done Max! Of course though, most of the 'ho ho ho'-ing took place prior to that at work, when Rich fulfilled the important job of being Santa at his school's Christmas Fair! Was lovely to be gazed at by the kids with awe for a change, instead of contempt!stmas Fair! Was lovely to be gazed at by the kids with awe for a change, rather than contempt!
Friday 11th December 2009
Rich is starting to feel ridiculously Christmassy, what with him & Em having been to the Nottingham Arts Theatre last night to see one of Miss Brown's friends star as Buttons in a panto production of Cinderella! Was a really good show, though during an audience singalong of 'Winter Wonderland', Rich accidentally, out of sheer habit, started singing the Forest version!
Saturday 12th December 2009
Rich is glad that it's the weekend, following a hectic week at work. Last few weeks have seen Rich teaching his class about the Aztecs, and it's a topic that's given Mr Fisher his latest tenuous excuse to put music on in the classroom - with his lesson about Aztec human sacrifices having begun with a blast of... yes, 'Sacrifice' by Elton John!
Sunday 13th December 2009
Rich encourages you all rage against the machine by... um... downloading some Rage Against the Machine! If enough folk buy the song 'Killing in the Name' by the legendary American rockers between now & next Saturday, it'll top the charts & keep whichever chump that wins the X-Factor off the Christmas number one!ebook group 'Rage Against the Machine for Christmas Number One' for full details!
Monday 14th December 2009
Rich & Em were out & about yesterday, & spotted who else but the drink driver who totalled Rich's car the other week. What's more, the idiot in question was... yes, behind the wheel of the car. It's highly reassuring then to know that the police are clearly so committed to keeping such scumbags, who pose a threat to everyone's safety, off the nation's roads...
Tuesday 15th December 2009
Rich 's workplace is building up to a crescendo of excitement, what with this week being the final week before the Xmas hols. Yesterday saw the infants perform their Xmas play to the rest of the school, & it was tremendous. Alas though, for all the brilliance of the performance, the one thing everyone will probably remember was an ‘unscripted’ moment when several members of thed cast decided to flash their pants at the audience! was an unscripted moment when a couple of the cast decided to flash their pants to the audience!
Wednesday 16th December 2009
Rich knows he shouldn't laugh really - but nevertheless, as a Forest fan, he can't help but chortle at the pantomime that Notts County seem to be laying on at the moment to provide a bit of festive entertainment to the public! All we need now is for Notts to appoint David Platt to fill the manager's chair that was vacated yesterday...
Thursday 17th December 2009
Rich is looking forward today to what is unquestionably the gig of the year - yes, his school's annual Xmas carol concert! Mr Fisher's year four kids will be bringing a smattering of rock'n'roll to proceedings by performing 'Merry Xmas Everyone' by Shakin' Stevens! This was actually a 'second choice' - the original song they were going to do was ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham, but it got vetoed for being too depressing!y were going to do was Wham's 'Last Xmas'... but it got vetoed for being too depressing!
Friday 18th December 2009
Rich is pleased to report that yesterday's Christmas carol concert at his school was a riotous success! Thanks to the efforts of our language guru Miss Harris, the kids' performance included a Christmas song sung in Spanish! Rich had to stifle sniggers though at one part of the song that includes the word "Bellen!" [Spanish for 'The bells'] - as it sounded like the kids were all singing "Bell end"!
Saturday 19th December 2009
Rich, now he's a full 30 years old, has decided he's reached that point in his life where he probably needs start solving DIY problems for himself... rather than taking the easy option by simply picking up the phone and going "Daaaad..."! As such, he's now off to B&Q on the hunt for light switches! Carnage surely awaits…
Sunday 20th December 2009
Rich is pleased to report that he successfully fitted a light switch yesterday unaided, and without electrocuting himself! He's also pleased about the fact that TV's 'Strictly Come Dancing' is over and done with for another year after last night's grand final. This means Ricky Whittle will be off the nation's TV screens, an.d Rich can go back to beikng his girlfriend's favourite man in the whole world..!
