Apr 15th 2008 F*ck the BBC

For some reason this never posted!

Some of you that know me, know that I don’t watch TV, its true I don’t have a TV in my room because most of the time there’s just total utter crap on it and that’s just the BBC. I don’t like the BBC for many reasons mainly Propaganda and the shi*te they air out to people, and yeah believe it or not people watch it and enjoy it, Why? Well it’s beyond me.

Last week I had my first experience of telling the BBC to piss off, Amy has got free view fitted in her room now so I bought her a free view box from Tesco, I’ve done my research and I know that shops tell the BBC your details - NOT MINE. I decided to go-to the self service… I distracted the woman to take out the security tag while she was doing that I pressed ok on the screen to cancel the message about taking the details, she then simply entered her pin and I paid for it - Woo.

I hate my personal details on company databases unless I allow it so this gave me this massive sense of achievement. As I walked out of Tesco’s bracing the free view box in my arms I shouted “FUCK YOU BBC” and proceeded to walk to the car. I think Amy was embarrassed.

The weeks been slow at college its crap as normal and Thursday was valentines day I popped round Amys for the night to see her for a bit and exchanged gifts and then have a play fight with these heart things, valentines day is very commercialized these days, they sell glorified xmas crackers for valentines day now, whatever happened to the simple rose and a meal (possible reward at the end of the night ;) ) ? Anyways these crackers was just like Christmas ones, they still go bang and u get jokes in them with red hats and key rings - joy.

Oh well it was a good night but it shocked me how valentines day is now a big con for the big businesses to get more money out of people, even the little corner flower shops didn’t get as much as they normally do because Tesco and Asda etc was selling roses so much cheaper then the little shops - bless them.

Cars going strong plenty of 307 mods bringing the phase number to 3.5 lol and cam belt is getting done pretty soon then a checkup on the general running of the car, service etc ready for MOT in June. Weather has been terrible down here the past 2 days thick fog covering the main roads has made traveling a nightmare, especially at night, frost and ice has been make life hard too. Can’t wait for the warm weather to get my splitter painted and fitted :) decided I’m probably going to get angel lights for my birthday with is coming up fast :)

Oh damn just realized I’ll have loads of assignments to do dam it! Right better end it there then :(

Mar 11th 2007 And so week 12 begins

Last week was pretty boring we didnt do alot just some college work and we started out City & Guilds work too, I plowed ahead to try get some work done, but i’ve still got Sad 2 to finish and to tell the truth im kinda stuck on it now… Web dev aint a problem thats straight forward and i think thats what i’ll get done hopefully by friday!

Pete is now back at college he is very loud :P we aint been used to such noises in weeks lol! Didnt see alot of shelly this week :( but we did see each other as much as possible :) She is on placement this week so I may or may not get to see her depending on how our breaks fallin with each others so i hope we do get to see each other abit more, im going round hers on sunday :D

Bless her :P

Its been a interesting week at work too! The power station is off for a month and work started this week I was up in control  room and well theres not a great deal of work to do really not as bad as i thought it would be. The system is currently being upgraded this i found very interesting because its actaully seeing what i’ve learn in college like SAD the current system would of been analysized then plans drawn up what whats require and now there implementing it and bug reporting as its bespoke software.

I have a funny idea its  either VB or C++ too I really wanna learn more buI aint the most talkitive person at work like I am at college… all in good time :) Also I have been experimenting with php and mysql and made a user login system then expanded it to a posting system too :) if you feel a  need to try it out heres the link its pretty basic though!

Mar 7th 2007 Bored not alot has happened!

Well this week its been boring really what with my portable hard drive dying while backing up it just aint really been my week. Its starts off with last week i’d got all my assignmnets near enough completed and deleted the old backup on WAP (grentz PC) to make room for the new backup (WAP has only got 300mb disk space left) Goto run the backup half way through it spins down… windows starts moaning about it… not being able to read it…

So i unplugged it and popped it back in nothing… totally dead no spin up nothing… so i preordered one from PC Worlds site and drove to Kings Lynn bought it for £20… urgh then drove home. Got home openned the case and there was a hard drive inside already… wierd… so i took that one out and popped mine in and nothing… i started to panic because i’d lost all last years work and more importantly all this years work i was nearly at crying stages at one point.

So i calmed down and started looking into Data Recovery prices ranging from £100 to £1000, i got a quote of £145 to have my data recovered but decided it would be faster (and cheaper) to redo it again so here I am redo’ing SAD , BIS 2, and web dev! Well having a break at least! Thats all i’ve really been doing

Friday was my birthday i had my mate pete round because everyone was busy or they live too far away which is fair enough. Me and pete had a pretty good laugh we didnt go out just sat in the living room watching old school tv programs like… Crystal Maze while getting pissed lol! pretty fun time Saturday was interesting, i was n bed and at 7am theres a phone call… (im still recovering from friday) answer it and theres an emergency next door… i’ll let the pictures answer:

[fa:p:id=409960972,j=l,s=s,l=p]

Yes thats a flood in the front garden from the previous nights heavy rain the mina sewage pipe got blocked and so my aunt was getting everyones sewage in the front lawn as the day progressed more water just kept on coming until anglian water turned up 4 hours later! I got sat nav for my Bday which is pretty cool for when i got out to places, like to see shelly.

Worked sunday didnt do alot though monday… see shelly and my mates lol that was pretty cool but i didnt get to see shelly much :( same with tuesday but she looked so fit seriously it made me think to myself wow i’m going out with her i feel like the luckiest guy alive (i know you will all laugh but thats how she makes me feel, she is so hot!

…and here we are together :D

Jan 20th 2007 I have a job!

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 :(

Anyways i’ll post in the week when i’m in the right mood to blog… I started writing this at 6pm and its now 11.57… oops! Oh and I just noticed i been blog for… 4yrs :| thats just…. shocking!

Dec 2nd 2006 Christmas Approaches

Yes guys it coming to that time of the year again and tomwrote.info has got its Christmas decorations upto celebrate the best time of each year, sadly our govement is playing down Christmas all over the country because of the muslims getting offended, b*ll*cks to them.

While where on the subject of ranting about the govement, bastards have decided to try and put a pay-as-you-go road tax kinda thing into our cars which we would have to pay to be fitted costing over £200.

It was stated on the news yesterday morning (27th November 2006) one of the reasons this proposal has been suggested was to raise money for possible road building and improvements to existing roads. It should be noted: all the money currently collected by the DVLA for road fund licences, only 23% - 24% is actually spent on road building and improvements!

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect an NIP with your monthly bill.

The gov have got a petition on there website to try stop this from getting passed its madness… so if you got a car then click this link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax and try and stop them fat cats from getting even more money to run arround there jags and jets. B*stards - Put proper details in else it might not count.

College is going great loving it still and got a shock the other night at parents evening… I’m doing better then what I thought I was going which was great! We start our new time table monday (yes i’m in on mondays) and we have got Wednesdays off again like last year… Which I found was better because it gave you a break throughout the week.

My driving is going great still looking for work i’ve applied at so many places but getting no feedback is kinda depressing now :( Currys seemed really interested in me and I spoke to a man called mark really nice guy took all my details and i filled in my application form.. and i’ve heard nothing from them.. :(

Spoiler has turned up and i been priming and painting that, this is what it looks like right now:

[photopress:DSC00090.JPG,thumb,pp_image]

Not bad if I don;t say myself!

Foxy brought this rather dusty computer round to be fixed so I been fixing that, took that back today.. and thats about all thats happened… last week was catch up week and we got a little bit of work done but me and rich find it easier to do our work like assignments and stuff at home… guess we can actually consintrate that way.

Wednesday night there was a car accident just up the road from me and the lad driving it died he was only 17 one minute you can be here then next your not. R.I.P Josh I didn’t know you but my mum knows your dad and I know your ex i’m related to her, take care chels.

I think thats all for now, take care all.

PS: No video this week nothing decent has been found this week. Sorry.
