Nov 8th 2006 Finally an Update!

Guys first of all I am really sorry for no updates for over a fortnight! i’ve been pretty busy.. mostly going out from mini cruze’s round Long Sutton and looking for a Job… A JOB!?! Woah.. Yeah I know.. I found out very quickly that to run a 1.8 you need money… thats means getting a job…

Ok so I’ve been round the shops in Boston first HMV they gave me a form.. but it was too… advanced to fill it in.. out of my depth like so I decided to look for somewhere.. errm easier and right up my street.. PC World.. I’ve been there loads of times and theres been time when i’ve wanted to correct and employee when they have said something wrong too.

So I got my CV all updated with my new qualifications.. which I must say are pretty good (the new ones that is) got all the form sorted handed it in.. I really hope I get called up for an interview because I feel with my current knoweledge I know quite alot then most people.

Car is driving about great… love it… but it drinks petrol…like most cars lol. anyways thats a pretty small update I aint really got much else to say…

Oct 24th 2006 Passed driving test! [Part 2]

This is Part 2 if you missed Part 1 read it here :)

Alright Where was I Friday… well Friday I wanted off because I aint actaully been able to spend one day alone with my mum which quite honestly I wanted to talk to mum about stuff, girls mostly but oh well. Friday we basically needed more time to finsh our NCFE off so they gave us a hour or 2 down the lib I managed to get alot of work done too.

We then had to goto a few lessons and do well… work lol all the other said how nice and quite it had been without us lol I see shelly in her breaks and stuff then we did NCFE in the afternoon.. after awhile cross referencing I managed to get EVERYTHING sorted complete done.. *party*

Said bye to everyone and went to spend some time with Shelly (what a suprise) I mean i’m not gonna get to see her for a week :( so that was Friday. Friday night I drove upto Ruskington nobody seems to know where that is so heres a google map – yeah.. nice place.

We went to see some friends who have a place next to my mum and dads place in spain we had a chinky I have beef curry which was actaully quite niceI had a few pints so I didnt drive home, mum did. Saturday I didnt see mum at all.. nadda. She took joe to blue lake or something (near london) shes only being fair since shes been out driving with me most nights and that so its only fair.

Sunday Sunday Sunday what did I do… well my other nan picked me up in her Metro and she drove the Wisbech.. damn I didn’t feel safe at all… after she hit this kirb and we had only just got out the gate… it amazed me the other week when she backed out into another car and decided to drive off!

Anyways slightly shaken I finally got there and see my mum we was having a meal with the rest of the family and that we was basically having a slightly early Christmas meal.. so we had the turkey and all that it was very nice too. Joe finished work so I went to pink him up at 8 so drove back home then back to wisbech without any problems.

Oh yeah popped the petrol station to fill car too.. anyways when i got back to wisbech I noticed my iPod earphones was missing.. I mean sure they sucked (hurt my ears) but they did the job I searched everywhere but couldn’t find them :( after we had a good laugh nice meal, then I had to go home :( nan took me home.

Monday oooh the big day! So I woke up at 6.30 couldn’t get to sleep so i laid there trying to think of a trip round wisbech and what signals I needed to do what lane I wanted to be and that got bored of that so got up.. time soon flew by and di picked me up at 10.40 Got a big.. wierd.. shaky “hug” off my nan (she cant hug properly for some reason… shes getting better though).

So we got there i went through all the normal stuff then I have to do parallel parking… messed that up first time asked if I could do it again and I did I still thought i’d messed my second try up but I only got a minior anyways when it come to the end I got in the car parker expecting bad news but he told me i’d passed with 12 minors heres the sheet for you all to read. and the certificate.

Oct 23rd 2006 [Long Read] Passed driving test! [Part 1]

Yay I passed my driving test i’m so happy this week has been an amazing week i’ve loved every bit of it! Friday the 13th (oOoOoOo) mum come over from spain I did’nt see her that night but I see her the next morning. Saturday mum come to see me and joe I just ran upto her and give her the biggest hug ever we spoke for awhile then mum said that she would take me for a few driving lessons – Excellent!

I could’nt find my L plates so I only ended up going up and down the back roads which wasn’t too bad because for the first time ever I was getting a feel for my car – Which well I love So after about 2 hours of driving about we went to my other nans crashed there for abit then off we went again we got abit lost though :( I did basically in the end a days worth of driving arround the countryside… see some cows… moo!

Mum told me to find my L plates so I could venture further on the road which I did, I put them on sunday… Of course my nan decided to moan about where it should be placed… her spot was stupid no really it was… Grrrr. So we had a drive about Long Sutton and surrounding areas which was nice.

Monday I went even further I had to goto Boston College to drop in some silly assignment (damn CSYS + binary = OMG HARD) anyways I drove to Boston managed to handle the traffic well first got to college parked up near Rich’s corsa then went to hand in the stupid assignment. Met up with Rich and Storer also see Shelly gave her big hug then went to show rich and storer my car they fort it was a nice motor… No sign of marhsall his Rover was being a b*tch lol.

Then I drove to PC World to buy some ink cartridges had a look at iPod stuff but they was selling the old nano’s still!! :S Oh well then I drove through town parked up near sam newsom and went shopping for clothes :) – You can never have too many clothes.. unless your names Joe Parker xD.

After that I decided to drive to Spalding to pick my bro up from grammar.. hehe I parked in staff car park listening to my ‘ardcore banging tunage – Yeah mate init! lol. Joe showed up and I drove home. Tuesday errm What happened Sisco picked me up in the morning and we got the college I cant remember much what we did tuesday but no doubt we had a laugh! I see shelly spent some time with her… yay.

Just if your wondering me and shelly are not together but when we are like with each other we both get mistaken for bf and gf cuz how we are arround each other lol. That night mum showed up and a cant remember much else, Wednesday Oh yes… Tuesday we was told that we had the day off wednesday to do some NCFE work from last year no problem – lesson starts at 10 @ 148, so we decided to go up McDonalds!

So we went up there for a breakfast meal woo, well i didnt have much money so I bought this cheese and ham toastie thingy well they took my order and put this bag on the counter which I thought was mine… So I took it to my suprise it wasnt my cheese and ham toastie thingy it was a bagle or burger or something.

Behind me was this man and he wasn’t happy he was making scene at the counter something about his food… whoops. So that guy stormed off all of a sudden just before I decided to eat it it was whipped out of my hands and i was given this toastie in return… *sigh* although it was nice!

So we got back to college and waited outside 148 then we got told that it was a mistake and that we was back on lessons for the day *sigh* We got told that Thursday we would be doing our NCFE…ok not a problem. Wednesday night we went round my nans for toad in the hole (hahahaha…i’m so immature xD) that was nice :)

Thursday I was waiting for my bus.. oh yeah forgot the mention theres a GIRL and my bus stop all of a sudden guess I should speak to her when we get back lol she just seems anti-social… :/ Anyways I got hi-jacked! by no other than Mr Amazing. There I was inocently sitting in the car waitin for the bus when this blue escort passed me… I knew who it was he come running to the car asking if I wanted a lift.. what could I say? I had no way out so I went with him.

OK He isnt a bad driver at all but he didnt have any radio – WHAT NO TUNAGE!?! So the ride was pretty boring and the top it off guess what time we got into Boston… No really this isn’t funny.. I got in at 8..Yes f**king 8am, i’ve never seen the car park so empty in my life! So anyways I went into college there was nobody…ok a few wierd geeky people but thats it in the end…

After a little wait the college soon filled up with people and rich turned up so I went to go see him ooo I see Jack too stood with him too. Rich was with Aaron, Big Jim and his gf Saz we all went up town I think the orginal idea was to go play snooker or pool or something but we had to be back by 10 lol so we walked back to college.

For the rest of the day we basically did NCFE, NCFE, NCFE, oh and NCFE I guess that the end of the day its an extra certificate and it could get me into a decent job one day… :) Thursday night drove to Sutton Bridge and had spag bol with my other nan w00t!

Thats all for this part the next part well be soon possibly tomorrow so check back or subscribe for new posts

Thats all really for this post come back soon for Part 2

Aug 4th 2006 There will be no Part 3

Spain wasn't that good I can't remember much else but it sucked. I was gonna stop but my dad got all sh*tty over it he was sh*tty all the time. So theres Spain out of the way, England flight was delayed by 1 hour that wasnt too good. Theres been alot on my mind which I really must get out.

The first thing is my dad really has changed for the worst, I won't go into details but it hurt me in a way that i've been been hurt so much to see him in a state like that. Really is hard hitting like me and my bro have both agreed on that we both feel sorry for mum.

Thats one thing out of that way without saying too much the second really did make me angry. Someone I have respected for years has lost my respect… My Aunty Jayne, she isn't my real aunty i've just been brought up that way to call her that. She is infact a close family friend.

So what did she do to upset me? Well she didn't just upset me she also upset my brother and my mum. Well I guess I better say what was said well basically she went to spain with my brother went to my rents house and said to my mum "oh your a bad mother" and also offended my brother my dad of course didn't stand up for my mum.

They was only in spain for 2 weeks and she come back and started feeding me all this bullsh*t too but I wasn't having it. So after that my mum rang me up crying and I couldnt do nothing about it until I got to spain well I got to spain and got mums side of the story and my original plan was to use Jayne for my free driving lessons and then after i've passed etc throw everything at her… (this is why its a bad idea to be on my wrong side).

But no I came back and I asked for my car back (no i stil had not got my car back) so she came round with my car and log book EXCELLENT!  I thought tomyself well she holds nothing against me now so I gotmmybrother down and we had a bloody good arguement for what she said to my mum and what she said to my brother.

I left with "Oh thanks for my car" and walked up stairs.

Thats about it really had to fix a roof the other day that involved abit of hard work taking th old one off then i went to job centre nobody wanted me though lol thats all

Jul 3rd 2006 Failed driving test

[Update: I did pass eventually read the 2 part special p1 - here and p2 - here]

Thursday was the day of my driving test I sat there in the waiting room, out comes the most boring person i’ve probably already met in Wisbech for a long time this middle aged man with this… single tone boring voice got this the car and i was already shaking got the car started and nearly stalled it eventually got out the yard and the round about was choco geez.

So I sat in the line wait for my turn eventually it was my turn and I was there waiting for a gap oh god all these cars lorries buses started coming round it was 11.41 and the roads was so busy after 2 minutes or problem more with sweat dripping down my face I eventaully got onto the round about already knowning i’d failed it.

He told me to take 4 exit (dual carriage) sure no problem so i did that.. thing is i’d never done it before and what lane did i stay in? the right… damnit! then there was some people on the road so i slowed down and they was still crossing so i stopped but the lights was green…but there was people on the road so I thought it was best to stop then run them over.

Got off main road then on a calm road and he said “In the interest of public safety I am stopping your test here” F**K OFF YOU TWAT! Sorry but that really annoyed me. I only had 15 minutes for the whole test, bastard.

Erm heres the test sheets might aswell upload it it cost me £50!

[photopress:testsheet.jpg,thumb,pp_empty]

So that really pissed me off… Saturday night went to pub to watch the england match fucking lost damnit oh well. I went to the pub with sam and his bro’s was at the pub too. Sunday went out to go see dani and char which was night dunno if im going tonight or not..

And thats it really, blog got 124k hits last month :D so i’m fairly proud of that added some more bits like a ch@tbox on the webcam page the history of tomwrote some tweaks with code and stuff so it will soon be all complete few errors in Internet Explorer which need to be fixed… all in good time :P

Car still aint turned up which is a bitch not as if i need it :( won be long till I go to spain either. Oh yeah I got “tagged” by another blog but have no idea how to tag other people something to do with 4meme (no idea) need to do more research! but this blog emailed me saying that i’d been tagged how do I do that?

I guess thats it really hope your enjoying the weather its bloody hot 8)
