I got my first ever white card this week, go me! What for? For saying the word bloody lol! Yes that’s right people last years voted Best Academic Performance Award guy on white card for doing his work! Well I guess what I did was wrong but I feel that being put on a white card for what I did was completely wrong and maybe just maybe because of last weeks rant about Business?

So there I was it started off a normal day in biz and I actually started work – yes I actually did some work for once! And well I can sometimes talk for a whole lesson and not get any work done but that day I got into doing this assignment and I was getting along fine! The lecturer was talking but I was doing my work (not making any noise, when others was).

So the lecturer interrupted me from my work and well without thinking I kind of shouted “I’m trying to do my bloody assignment” now personally I didn’t mean this to be in anyway offensive I was just pissed doff at the fact that I was doing some work and I got interrupted. This kind of kicked thing off for the whole day!

They run off to go tell tale to my tutor who puts me on a white card (totally over the top) Everyone agrees this was over the top and I have been treated unfairly too, I think if they really wanted to kind of tell me to shut up swear back at me other members of staff do! nah white card, that really did piss me off.

So I walked in class with this white card and up comes my temper now I walked out of the class for the reason of that if I didn’t I would of probably caused a lot of damage so I did a U turn out of the room and went straight downstairs to go calm down with a councillor, 15 minutes or so and I’d calmed down.

The councillor took me back upstairs to say sorry and I did say sorry to the biz lecturer but my tutor? No I just starred at him lucky I can actually control my anger really isn’t it?  I was anger at the fact of the PETTINESS of this white card, which I ant really taken any notice of I’ve been good doing my work as I do having a laugh every so often.

I bet if you read that white card it will probably have good stuff on it because I’m a good student, I must reliable in some way because I’m a student rep and I’m helpful too like Thursday I and 3 others moved a room about for a open evening or something I am not a bad student! So I don’t deserve this card!

And even knows if I don’t agree with something I will moan like hell about it, So this is the attitude I’ve taken… They put me on white card (some kind of way for monitor me like big brother) I will just ignore it and do my work, deal with it I get to my lessons on time 99% of the time with pretty good attendance, and handing in most of my assignments in on time (business is a exception to that because I didn’t understand it).

Putting me on these kind of things are not going to help in fact I was actually just planning not to come in and lose my EMA and attendance but no why should I do that? I’ll just do it how I normally do it because I’m still getting the work done and being there on time too! So yeah that’s my rant about the white card! Its not going to change anything I’m still going to do my work and attend college too, all it does is just piss me off and disrupt me!

Now Wednesday was a very important day! Valentines Day  A lot of things to do Woke up early went up town to draw money then came back put in £20 in the tank cleaned inside and outside the car and changed my near the legal limit tire for my spare steelie until I get it sorted out (probably next week).

So did that but I couldn’t get the nuts undone gdad came out to have a go and with jumping on the hex kind of thing the bolts started to come undone, the wheel was stuck on so I had to kick it until it came off! anyways swapped them round and did them back up the hex bent pretty badly that’s French stuff for ya!

So gdad gave me this strong ENGLISH (London taxi) one which I popped under my back seat this is were problems arose, because while putting it there I lodged a cable (my earth cable for my sub but I didn’t know it). So I went to work at 2 with no problems finished at 4.30 then drove to Boston!

As I was driving the electronics (mostly radio and brakes) was coming on and off when this happened the ABS kicked in! ignored it and carried on to Boston picked up Shelly and drove home… it didn’t do it at all then! got home and me n Shelly spent some time together then got read to take Shelly out!

So we drove to Spalding no problems! Got to the restaurant (The Mermaid) and got our table which I booked for about a week in advance and they had a special menu which was 2 courses for £19.95 not bad so we chose what we wanted and that was that.

The meal was very nice but they canned me on the drinks me thinks! Shelly enjoyed herself and then we went home, the car played up like mad all the way back getting worse as I was coming back then as I turned into the yard… BOOM! Total Black out! The car was dead nothing at all.

Lifted up the bonnet and took off the plus and popped it back on and there was a spark from my + to the sub that means bad earth so I dc all that and it’s been fine since! Shelly really enjoyed being round here and I asked her out

Today I have done some overtime at work for over 3 hrs every little helps cleaning windows that’s all I started at 9 and didn’t get home till about 12.30 lol and now I have a week off college excellent!

That’s all really! Got a video you as normal! Basically a group of chav’s go to rob a shop with… glow sticks its all downhill from there – Enjoy!

I HAVE A JOB! Yes its true its working in a power station cleaning offices pays not too bad £5.75 a hour for 2hrs every night the people are really nice so far so i feel I will enjoy it I start monday, cant wait really it be nice to get out lol.
If you live in the UK you will know it was VERY VERY windy like gale force wind and rain, and who drove to college init? Me yes silly me i really should of got the bus that day but well a bus is more prone to blow over so I went out in it. Cars, vans, and loads of lorries scattered about in trees, lamp posts and dykes.

3 lorries blown over just along the A16 then theres the rain… and lots of it some roads in boston was just flooded water upto 5 inchs deep… in some parts then there was part of the college’s roof tiles flying off, amazing to watch but also very dangerous. Thats all really aout the weather now the snow is gonna come apparently!

Anyways I have a new life rule… NEVER drink and go on eBay… you end up buying things which… to be perfectly honest you won’t want when your sober… for example a 400w Vibe subwoofer… I aint got the car fully wired up yet to test what it sounds like… my guess it what its gonna sound sh*t!

Tomorrow will be fun because i’ll be fitting the power cable to the battery then into the car and into the boot… loads of fun! And just now I got this really random email which was really interesting to read! Aparently theres a guy at my college who come accross my website and have a browse arround, he has a 306 and has a dint in the same place as me… wierd aye?

This guy has lived in a different country called france… where as i lived in spain… i’ve never been to france maybe one day! Hope you recieved my email back mate the postmaster said know to your main email addy

Seems just like last year when I was typing up 2005’s christmas post, and we even got snow last year too!
Hope your all having a great day, I am! I got this wicked new 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor for my hackintosh, but i looks better on windows then is does on mac… i think it needs to be tweaked… then I got some money errrm an Apple keyboard that brings my total Apple products owned upto 3 lol!

My grentz brought me the brush thing that you attach to the hose pipe to wash my car… but im abit worried since it feels like it migt scratch the paintwork… hmmm… They also bought me a mirror which was nice and a power surge protector… oh and ofcourse I got some socks lol, then some shower gel and stuff

BUT theres a change this year… my grentz have there stuck up side of the family over… these people have had something against me and my parents since we moved to spain as if I am the devils child (maybe ) but seriously what on earth did i do wrong I have no idea! Anyways they came over last night and we sat round the table joe went to work leaving me alone, i tried all the time I was round the table to make conversation but they just didnt wanna know, i even said hello, and I didn’t get a reply… hmmm.

Oh well so I went upstairs and lived up there for the night until they pissed off back up the travelodge, then I went downstairs. Christmas Day come round yay! i laid in bed till 10am until i was woken up by my brother jumping on me (urgh) so i got up I went downstairs to say merry christmas to everyone individually… the grentz said merry christmas back but these two people god neither of them even said merry christmas… so i was pretty annoyed.

So me and joe sat in the kicten then she blurted out to her husband “When are we going home?!” what the hell you only just got here, I thought. Anyways we got all arranged and got the presents dished out, they never said a word to me or joe, so yeah they was being a**holes. funny thing is 30 minutes in she asks “Who are they??” Ok… so you have no idea who me and joe are… I give up!

Anyways after we got all presents open I took mine upstairs and then only come down when it was dinner after that i’ve lived up here having a good old drink, setting up my monitor etc. So yeah christmas has been alright, just wish our guests would actaully talk to me and joe!

Mum rang up just before dinner had a good talk to her which was nice… and I rang up my uncle last night to thank him for the christmas money he had posted so all in all its been good. The new theme is complete! and will be launched on 27th December I will post on that day too so if your subscribed then you will be notified

i’ved even got a YouTube video for you all this week!

And you know what? I can’t wait no really last week some things kicked off well I guess I should explain well I forget what day it was but basically me rich and marshall went off leaving pete aaron and katie alone well they went to tescos and i dunno where we went exactly… Katie was having a bad hair day bless her and somewhere along the lines aaron took the piss out of her and (from experience) this really upset her as it brought memories back up from school.

Aaron went over the top and really upset her and she didnt hardly talk all day we all noticed something was wrong, she told me about this on msn that night, I fort well i’ll have a word with aaron about it because I didn’t think it was very fair… I pulled arron aside and spoke to him and his reply was “I don’t care!” well I was pretty shocked at that and he walked off.

That was it didn’t hear nothing about it until the afternoon some how amy decided to get involved which had nothing to do with her… hell she isn’t in the same class… now the next thing really confused us… she was gonna go after katie… WHAT THE F**K she didn’t do nothing wrong!

So at that point I said to amy if u touch katie we won’t have nothing to do with u since katie was inocent she’d done nothing wrong to deserve any trouble… amy then sent me this rather nasty txt which upset me… (theres more to it too) so basically that was it, amy then started to fall ut with other people then what happened was a classic.

Somewhere along the lines aaron said something that was wrong or katie said something i’m not sure but amy realised what she’d done and attempted to get everyone back… uhh uhh WRONG!!! After saying all that she expects us to come running back to her… forget it. And that was it… so that was my wonderful week… BUT things are improving!!

My love life is getting a little bit better, its gonna take a little while to get back on my feet but i’m getting there… i’ve met a new girl called Alex richs gf’s best mate the first time we met we didnt talk hardly at all 3 words in total. Then I rang her up one night and we (me) spoke for 2hrs…she doesn’t say alot she is shy bless her then she rang up one night and we spoke again.

Friday night I drove to Donington (got a little bit lost and rich had to find me lol) picked her up and we drove through to Boston and went to see Casino Royale and we got a little bit closer… it was a pretty good film i enjoyed it then I drove her home in the rain (PISSING IT DOWN) I then drove home in the rain I got in at 12, pretty good night out I must say.

Ooooh and Christmas will soon be here!! a week Monday woo the new design will go live about 27th decemember its about done and its just going through optimization stages… that means i’m trying to make it supah fast loading! I can;t wait to get the design live, its now easier to expand with this design compared to what i’ve got now… which has grown old after only 3 months of being live… yeah I know…

I guess thats it really if you wont be back to read the Christmas post, I hope you all have a good Christmas and a Happy new year! Which reminds me… I need to buy my gdad a present still… and I need to wrap them… GREAT!

No videos this week nothing interesting lol

Help were being over worked at college 98% of us are falling behind because of this bloke who think he knows what the student really want got his way – Multiple assigmments, this means breaking the assigments in 3 or more smaller assignments thus we fall behind ALOT easier.

Yeah including me… yes I am fallin behind I dont know whats gotta be in out whats been reffered and i’m normally pretty organised but this setup is just messing things up… so as a student rep guy would do… we did something about it! First a poling vote was put on on the colleges intranet, now we have done a petition to get these stupid small assigmments slapped into 1 big one why makes thing alot easier to manage.

This pettion was pretty simple it had there name, signature tick yes for 1 big assignment and no for… loads of them then comments… the outcome was basically only 2 people disagreed (smart ass’s ) and the rest of the class well aid yes they wanted 1 big assigment. Today I just sat in “SAD” head down… lost no idea what I could do so i decided the best I could do was setup some kinda speadsheet to try and oranise the mess this guy has made for us all – t*t!

Moving on christmas is gonna be here soon… great and as every christmas i’ll feel down because well christmas is a family time… apart from my family isn’t exactly a family… mum and dad will be in spain sure i’ll have the grentz thats cool but my parents *sigh* and well i have no idea when i’ll see them so thats gonna be on my mind for awhile…

College is ok just this work which is bugging me right now.. we got a new timetable no real problems with it just yet. Home is ok nans not really p*ssed me off for a while so thats alright. Love life? don’t go there…
