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:

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 1st 2007 [RANT] Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone hope you all had a good time, i personally just stopped in and got pissed with my brother at the end of the day its just another year whats the big deal? Just an excuse to get pissed and I don’t really drink that much anyways. I told Alex last night that i thought it was best we get to know each other abit more before/if we get together for some reason I just don’t feel right like all the other times what the hell is wrong with me?

I really liked her from the start but then it just grew… cold?! i never knew what to say to her and she hardly speaks either so that didn’t help in the end we had the same convo as the previous day or didn’t talk at all so I had to do something I was pretty upset that I had to tell her this but something had to be said else it would of just got worse. Of course these days you can’t do anything without anyone sticking there nose init and saying some crap for there own personal (sad) amusement.

Take this for example:

“well i erd u onli liked er cuz u wanted t get closer t me n ****”

I aint getting onto nobody but that I will claim as the best bullsh*t for 2007 whoever said it… well you could of at least say something that could possibly been belived geez. if you have a problem with me you come see me not go making up childish rumours like that lol I really can’t be bothered with it.

So thats the first piece of news and that happened while we are not even at college whats it gonna be like when we get back? “Tom goes out with Alex and cheats on her by sleeping with a dead cat” well the way people beleive things that really wouldn’t suprise me. Yeah i’m pissed off if you can’t tell.

And all of that happened in a matter of what 2 or 3 days? imagine what week of this could be like. Anyways moving on… welcome to January 2007 and this year will go fast just like 2006 before you know it, it will be 2008… damn.

Well we all go back on Thursday back to college, I can’t be bothered to get the bus anymore nobody talks anymore… just remembered I got one more assigment to do… if i ever meet that bloke who thought the students want more smaller assignments i’ll soon give him my piece of mind.

But I think it be nice to get back to college away from here ok its not too bad but its just really boring I need a laugh (then I wouldn’t be ranting as much) now that I think about it maybe what i said to alex was a mistake i kinda miss her right now… so guess thats my well week or couple of days…it was so nice to see our stuck up side of the family go… they didn’t even say bye to me lol.

We went to PC World today to take a printer back and get some advice I have been trying to tell my grentz since christmas day well.. I can;t complain gdad bought me some earphones :) i guess its my job to buy this “Compact Flash” card off the internet now gives me something to do I guess…

thats all for now I leave you with a video… of CRAZY Arab drifting

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
