Apr 18th 2008 [Rant] Petrol Prices + normal crap!

Hey its me once again in a full scale ranting mode, today its petrol prices I think its a common subject and worry on most people’s minds these day’s. Well yesterday petrol was at a “affordable” 106.9 I got paid today and its just cost be £40 for half a tank @ 109.9 this is now killing me i’m worrying about getting to college now and further education might have to be cancelled due to extra living costs and all that general crap thats just really annoying the fuck out of me.

BUT apart from that everything is OK i guess the car is working 100% and have maxium mpg right now Im tempted to start stripping out unwanted weight to improve mpg that means bye bye sub :( The car had a full check up last week while having zorst and tyres sorted oh and tracking  which means it looks like its certainly going to pass MOT ;)

I don’t know if I mention the new recent stuff I have been doing with chris and matt its called urbexing or Urban Exploring, looking at old bulidings and taking pictures etc its been pretty good travelling to unknown parts of the area looking at some really nice bulidings :) pretty cool but its a shame that 28dayslater.co.uk closed the forums a few days ago :( so we need to find a new home oh and the fact petrol has rose means its going to cost more to travel to these places too.

Been doing a few calculations and its costing roughly £8 (50 miles to and from college)  with the rise in price its soon not going to be worth going to college the prices are set to rise to 1.50 in august too so nah i’ll probably stop driving then. i’ll get some little bike thing or something, something has really gotta give.

House prices can’t afford a fucking car let alone a house fuck that. so yeah end of had enough college work has seriously got me down i did 4 assignments this week and the flash drive decided to do  “WRITE ERROR” AND MESS UP give up now.

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 its 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 reserch and I know that shops tell the 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 database’s unless I allow it so this gave me this massive sense of achievement. As I walked out of tesco’s bracing the freeview box in my arms I shouted “FUCK YOU BBC” and proceeded to walk to the car. I think Amy was embarrassed I was ready to run if people came after me for my details though.

The weeks been slow at college its crap as normal and I have little motivation to do anything but work, in-fact thats all I seem to be interested in is doing my work and earning my money thats the point of life right? You earn the money then die. Thursday was valentines day I popped round amys for the night to see her for abit 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 keyrings - 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 somuch cheaper then the little shops - bless them.

Cars going strong plenty of 307 mods bringing the phase number to 3.5 lol and cambelt 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 dammit! right better end it there then :(
