We’ve gotta modify the van

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 19, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureJanuary 19, 2009

What I need is an elite team of commandos. Shame this is real life and none actually exist.And in true fashion after the weekend, where were all the lovely posts that I was to write about various exciting things going on, the review of 2008, which is increasingly looking like it will be 2010 before I’m done with that, and maybe we will have written up about 2010 just in time for the London Olympics to fail, in which we all complain bitterly, maybe throw a chair at someone.

The point is, I’m basically not doing very well with trying to write. You see, where I currently live, it’s become increasingly difficult to write, and this is mainly because people are seeking attention all the time and when you finally do muster up the energy, then people are instantly noisy, looking at the caveman dribbling on the wall and wondering what could it mean, aside from the fact that he’s a bit thick.

I’m one of those writers who basically cannot write when someone else is around, simply because I don’t want anyone to see the finished article before it’s done. Try to explain that to people, and they look at you as though you’ve just told them you’ve had their mum over a desk while slapping the dad about with the sex toy that was just in the mother. Err…anyway it appears that in order to return to the old ways, which basically happened while back in Oswestry over christmas, I must further step up the efforts of finding a place of solitude.

And not one of those “Studios” which isn’t even big enough to have a poo in. Yes, I saw two of those the weekend in various places and it did not make for fun viewing. The race is on, the stage is set and if only I had another thing to wrap this sentence up, it would be very good. See, can’t even string a clever sentence together now, such is the state of things.

RUN AWAY!!!

Dun duh duhhhhhh…

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 16, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureJanuary 16, 2009

Since Saturday’s experiment with installing Windows 7 on the EvilBeast of woe, a fair amount has been going on, and once again I’ve failed in actually writing up any of it.

Hopefully the weekend will bring about lots of time to catch up, and also to finish that handy review of 2008 which started so well when back in Oswestry and then fell apart when down in London. Seems to be a pattern here….

Windows 7, here I come

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 10, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureJanuary 10, 2009

Before I destroy the EvilBeast’s Hard Drive with the beta of Windows 7, I figured I’d write something profound beforehand….nothing springs to mind.

Self contained luxury madness

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 9, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 3, 2010

With the new year rubbish it’s only fair to update ya’ll on a few things which have been serving to annoy more than anything. For example, I’ve now got to the point where I don’t like where I live but can now move somewhere to sort that out.

So you get on all those countless websites offering large studios for £345345 per minute and basically what you come back with is something like this:

Heaven is a car park off the A34....

it seems that around this fair old capital of ours in Englandland, people are more than happy giving you 6 inches or room and then robbing you blind. So currently the plan is to pretend I’m hiding from bad people, say Daddy touched me in a bad place and hope that Social Services are so upset that they offer me a penthouse for £5 a year.

But when it comes to actual location, it’s rather tough as most of London is pretty much the same except for how much wee has been left in the telephone booths. For example I wandered around the other night, (as I often do often asking people if they have spare change) Shepards Bush in the West, the reason was there were a number of studio flats going around that area for around £170 per week.

Look, £170 per week for a studio is actually reasonable going here around Zone 2 it seems. Granted I could for £295 per month get a two bed house in Oswestry….balls.

Papa’s new toy

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 9, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 3, 2010

The problem with geeks is that we want to try new things all the time without the fear of breaking things which work perfectly fine right now:

Enter Windows 7…

The desktop of Windows 7. Err....

Yep. Nothing better to do.

But moving on from that bitter sweet moment of truth, Microsoft tomorrow releases the beta to the public that are hpoing that Windows 7 isn’t as effing awful as Vista was.

And before anyone says anything, I use Vista at work, things are still broke even now such as Group Policy Management console freezing, the slow response from network resources, the hard drive still grinds on occasion despite the service pack, high memory usage and the drain on the poor crappy Intel graphics chipset is more heartbreaking than those silly adverts to sponsor a donkey.

So there, I win. All hail me.

2009, one more than 2008

Lord of Leisure Posted on January 1, 2009 by The Lord of LeisureDecember 31, 2008

Nice pretty picture for new year!

Happy new year everyone who can still read after getting far too drunk on various substances of their choice! Yes, we leave the train wreak of 2008 behind for the pretend idea that a new year will mean fresh starts for everything.

Thing is, I will be one of the sheep who will go to the gym in the vain attempt of thinking this year I will get fit, get bored after 3 weeks as it cuts into my sleeping time, and then just go every so often till the subscription thing they sign you up for runs out, basically just to ogle the ladies there who let’s be honest are just putting themselves on the meat market to be seen.

And here’s to the post written about the gym which will just end up repeating what I just said in this one!

Ooh, hark at him all high and mighty…wait, what I am saying? Ah who cares, it’s all silly anyway and let’s hope it remains a load of old kneecaps so we all still have things to laugh at like we did last year. Take it easy ya’ll!

2008 Review of the Year: March

Lord of Leisure Posted on December 31, 2008 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 3, 2010

March, I’m tried to think of a great rhyme for March that didn’t have either starch, larch or the grossly overused word: Arch. Sadly I couldn’t.

The scene as the lord of leisure arrived...I suppose this was when the pain started in one than one way, as the foundation degee I was doing at the time, was taking up huge amounts of time. All the while this was causing me to fall asleep due to endless boredom with the whole endevour, so that’s when we also started to see of the more creative and dare I say, more random blog posts I had ever written. Even got Episode 2 of the podcast out during this time, so I guess it’s not all bad.

Each one was coming up with more and more ingenious things about being lost in the Artic tundra, which became the theme of the website as I posted so little at the time. There was the post which went into immense detail about simply meeting two ladies for a coffee.

Other things which went on, was the bout of “Banaglore Belly” which basically called off a needed break from it all back to Manchester. Mind you looking back I spent a fair amount of time with Glyn, Kelly and Christine from Manchester over March as they also came down for a visit as well which was a welcome change.

2008 Review of the Year: February

Lord of Leisure Posted on December 30, 2008 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 3, 2010

Wow, February. Err….

Remember him? We do, and he's back soon too...Actually a fair amount was going on this month of all things too considering as I said about January, not a lot’s meant to happen at this time. It’s all the hangover from last year with the big spend normally that’s the reason for this year, there was nothing in the slightest.

For instance, our good friend Matt Seymour had enough of England and decided that his time would be best spent in Aussieland with other people where he would engage women in sexual intercourse at least 15 times a day. He left and then informed us that he was detailing his adventure out there on his own blog thing.

It died on it’s arse in August but still, he was out there living it up. But despite my questioning as to why, (possibly he been possessed by the devil and had been vomiting green sludge) Matt is returning Feb 2009 and from then on, he will be thinking about what to do next.

2008 Review of the Year: January

Lord of Leisure Posted on December 30, 2008 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 3, 2010

It seems the right time to do something like this as most websites, TV stations and anything strapped for anything worthy to do, compile a list of things in 2008.

Basically, a list of the dead is normally done, big events that happened and best of, I don’t know, dishwishers are all created for you to consume while the lazy broadcasters and writers are still gulping down that 15th bottle of vodka wondering why they are still alive. So with that in mind, let’s take a look back on the year of 2008 from the perspective of Ooh Sometimes.

To put all of it in one post would be criminal as one thing I have learned is that long posts with writing tends to put people off their tea and dog biscuits. So let’s start with January…

Now with added cigar for extra hardnessJanuary brought a number of things about into the world of wonder, such as the hopes and dreams of the coming year, trying to do great things.

As we all know, this fell on it’s arse later on but that’s getting ahead of ourselves. Some more friends were leaving shropshire for pastures new, The funky Starcraft 2 figure finally arrived in the post after 4 months, which was a massive signal that I needed to get out more.

The first podcast of the new year came out and it was quite something, featuring a load of rubbish as usual, but about trying to be uplifting because at the time everyone was so upset about the state of things all going up in price. Actually that financial downturn theme popped up time and time again in other posts, and recently it has made a re-appearance on these pages, as if it never went away.

Who knew?

Lord of Leisure Posted on December 29, 2008 by The Lord of LeisureNovember 4, 2010

Some credit cards. What an amazing way to illustrate credit cards.As you all know the only thing I do is read everything I write on OohSometimes.com because why on earth would you want to read anything else?

It seemed like a good thing to do to go back a year as basically I am leading up the new year article to see what resolutions I had made and failed, make up new things and round it all off with a review of the year. It was a nice trip back to the past when I wrote a hell of a lot more, and was basically a lot more funny than the bitter husk of a human being I’ve become. Then I came across a post which made the spider senses tingle.

Only wish I had some effects for everything to go wibbly-wobbly

Excerpt from “And We’re Back!!“

Either that or go mad for the sales which upon arriving back in the UK, seemed to be the top story that everyone was queuing outside the shops to get products which the shops couldn’t sell at rip-off prices before so they are selling to the gullible numpties convince they are getting a good deal when they are still being fleeced within an inch of their lives. They gave one example on the radio where a woman had bought a handbag for £200, convinced she had a bargain because it was down from £650.
