Time Flies.....

Been so busy recently that I have not put anything on here at all!

Whats happened in last month....

• Saw Thunder in Bristol, and did another Meet and Greet and got guitar signed
• Car went in for big repair to clutch & flywheel (they left the engine cover off it when I got it back!!)
• We got a Nintendo Wii from Amazon for £179.99 the week before Christmas, so f$%k you all the companies out there like the Dixons group who are trying to cash in on the popularity, I mean one of their offers included a pink PSP with it, what the feck??!!?? Money grabbing bastards, won't see me in their shops ever again!
• Saw Thunder again in Rock City (Nottingham) for their annual Xmas Show, it was superb, and no fog this time for driving home!! Although I did have a kebab with no pitta bread, whats all that about!!
• Emma's bedroom is painted and she is in there at long last!

I ought to put some pictures up here, and I will... I promise....

Happy New Year to all......

Xbox 360

Forgot to say 360 came back last week.

Spent all the time playing Call of Duty 4, wow what a game!

Emma's Bedroom

What seem's like a long time ago when I started it.... anyway enough of the past... the plasterer is coming tomorrow!!! That means all being well I can paint the walls pink for her, and get the electrician to finish off the sockets.

We will be going to Ikea this week to get a bed for her, and a mattress too (not Ikea as it's so damned expensive!).

She hopefully will be in there before Christmas all being well :-)

Ford Mondeo (current one)

My ongoing problems with the clutch on my Mondeo has finally been tracked down to the Dual Mass flywheel, which is apparently a common problem on the TDCi engine with Ford!

It's symptoms include the clutch slipping in all gears, sometimes when just putting your foot down. Also auto acceleration, which is mighty frightening when you take your foot off the gas and it keeps going, and accelerates with it too!

Still can't wait to get it back, as I am in an Astra 1.4 Club hire car, jesus is it gutless! The stereo is so tinny, I am sure my mobile phone's speaker has more bass!

At night I have never seen such a dark dash, there's just no sodding buttons lit up, cos it aint go no options! It's got windy windows in the back, WTF!!!!

Only plus is it's silent, compared to my Massey Ferguson beating clack clack London Taxi engine!

Thunder ... I am a lucky bugger!!

Cracking news!!! I am lucky enough to have won a pair of Meet and Greet tickets!! That's 2 years in a row, and I am not feeling at all guilty about winning them either, it will give me a chance to get my Fender Stratocaster guitar plate signed (as I couldn't find it last year!!).

Roll on Wednesday next week, for a cracking gig, and a superb meet and greet... photo's to follow

What's Been Happening

Update for this week....

Well British Gas let us down with the washing machine repair, firstly they turned up with no part, even though they knew which part it was. He rescheduled for Thursday, and guess what never turned up because he forgot to order the part. So he is due back Monday 12th, so we will see what happens!

Emma has been mega grumpy this week, don't know what is a matter with her.

I've been busy writing some custom provisioning software for work using VBScript/HTA.

My compensation of Wireless Headset and Call Of Duty 4:Modern Warfare, but no Xbox 360 still!!!!!!

Come on Microsoft, get the bloody thing back!

Bournemouth City Council

I have paid my £30 fee for the Bournemouth CC parking offence.

I shall never darken their door again, bollocks to the bastards!

It must have cost them more in admin etc to reply to my appeal with all the printouts of photos of my car etc, bunch of Hitlers.

Stuff Bournemouth!!!
