Back off the wagon over the weekend. At least we can only presume that is the case as Dave ignored our questioning over his smoking habits, oh so weak without Keith and I to give him strength.
Dave is modelling a new new hairdo, but I'm not convinced it is what he wanted. He has stated that "it had to be done" but I think he would have liked to have kept it slightly longer and just had it tidied up instead of cut short. Apparently a shorter cut "lasts longer" too.
9:58 Another addition to the swear box, usage of the word S***.
10:39 - hole in 1. Dave shoots, he scores, paper from his desk straight in the bin. Woop!
10:40 - Dave has swapped tea making duty rota slots with Keith for the day, so makes an early 11:00 tea.
Chicken and bacon pasta back for lunch (for 2 of course). There has been a high incidence of fruit consumptions today, an apple, some grapes, and possibly some pineapple
Dave has also put forward his theory that we can survive on this planet, without that pesky Oxygen, using Nitrogen in its place. I have pointed out that there is no Oxygen in Nitrogen. Discussions continue...
Dave quote of the day "I can never get my head around this planet. It doesn't make sense..." Wise words, you heard them here first.

The diet of a king, appetite of a horse
Dave's eating habits are something to be amazed by. That someone can survive and maintain a body weight by eating what Dave eats is a miracle of nature. This morning he has devoured an entire pack of Cadbury's fingers (minus the 3 that I ate) an apple, and for lunch he had a baguette with double bacon and sausage. Heart attack territory. Although add into that a whole pineapple and I suppose there is some kind of dietary balance.
Sticking with the food theme for a minute, Dave's desk still looks like a supermarket shelf at the moment, with the fruit piles, food wrappers, and chocolate packages. I've no idea what anyone walking in the room must make of it!
Dave went to the cinema last night to see the film 'Monsters', his one word review was 'rubbish'. Wont be going to see that any time soon then.
RPS score Karl 6 Dave 1.

So today is Dave's 6 month anniversary at the firm. How that time has flown by. I asked him for comment on the matter but he wasn't very forthcoming. Personally I feel he has come a long way in a relatively short time, and integrated well into the team, as well as the firm. He has bought his own unique personality and diversity to the company.
We have had a fair few incidences that have resulted in money going in the swear jar so far this week. Dave seems to be forgetting himself fairly often but that should hopefully result in there being at least a couple of pints available by the time we go out for drinks.
Dave's OCD seems to be getting worse, earlier this week he sorted the segments of chocolate orange Keith had given him on his desk, and today he has made pyramids out of apples and bananas and then didn't want to eat any of them as he would ruin the pyramid.
I predict we will soon be witnessing the return of the whole chicken or double rack of ribs as Dave seems to be tiring of his microwave meals for 2, today's is chicken and bacon bake.

Apparently we're back to non-smoking
Dave finally scored himself a win late in the day yesterday on the ole RPS. I put it down to the fact that all my mental powers were focused on sending him positive energies to help him not smoke.
According to Dave, he is back on the non-smoking wagon, but I'm not sure whether he can be believed or not, due to the fact he so blatantly lied to us yesterday. That is a wound that only time will heal, trust takes a long time to build but mere seconds to destroy.
On a positive note however Dave kindly shared with us his Mini Rolls, which we enjoyed with a cup of tea which Keith made, very kind. But I am worried Dave is lining himself up to be a diabetic later in life. He seems to be addicted to chocolate at the moment, and has a large bag sitting by the side of his desk at all times. He was even trying to convince me that it is good for you and has no negative health effects.
The Asda boycott still seems to be a distant dream, as Dave still goes there nearly every day (he only doesn't go there when we are rolling on). Threats of using Tesco home delivery are still flying around but don't seem to have materialised. Todays lunch - pasta bolognese bake for 2 microwave meal.

Dave is on Twitter now?!
Rumour has it (from a reliableish source) that Dave Rodley has set up an account on the Twitter. I have to say though I have searched and cannot find him...
Upsetting news
We had some rather upsetting news this morning. When Dave took his phone out of his pocket, I noticed a packet of cigarettes which I immediately questioned him about. He tried to discard the evidence on the floor but I caught him red handed and confiscated 2 lighters and 2 cigarettes.
Keith and I then spoke to Dave of our upset in knowing that he was smoking again, after telling us a couple of weeks ago he was trying to quit. We expressed our pain at the fact he didn't approach us to let us know he was being tempted into smoking again.
He managed to find the cigarettes again when I was out of the room, but fortunately I managed to drag him back in from outdoors (kicking and screaming) without lighting up the devils own cancer stick. I'm not convinced he will not sneak outside and have one behind our backs however.
Dave made the tea at 13:23.
