Update on the weekend

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 13, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureApril 13, 2007

Things are afoot my dear campers, hopefully all will be well and after next thursday it will be even better as both uni assignments will be in, and I won;t care about them again. Just the exams left (all bloody 3 of them) Hell I have now even started on the assignments!! Isn’t that an achievement in it’s self, well I have the headings and a couple of paragraphs for the introduction on both of them but hell at least I have now started them, and that can be the hardest thing!! I am typing this up at the early hours of friday morning, as really with all the crap this week, this is the first real chance i have had, so i got up extra early to write.

Hopefully a full blown update will follow the weekend, as I sincerly hope i have my new shiny ford car tommorow, but buggered otherwise, as the hire car wants the Polo back (sob, why oh god why?!!?!) And other treachery is afoot on other fronts. Yes I even mean the love life in that statement.

You see that’s what you do on previews, you build it up to draw people in and then you finally deliver the product, you pee people off at the severe lack of substance. Hell TV’s been doing it for years, so I am doing it now!?!?!

Bye good people!

Happy Easter

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 8, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureApril 8, 2007

Well on this fantastic easter sunday I wish you all a great easter, don’t have too many eggs, and I will speak to you all soon. Just doing some much much needed tidying up in the front room as it turned into a complete tip which is unfair to Aunty Bett, and later on will finish the podcast, and play more WOW.

And maybe, just maybe tommorow I will actually start on the last two uni assignments which I have just been putting off and off. It’s been a very busy weekend so far actually, things are progressing nicely it must be said.

Laura’s Party was on last night, had a jolly good laugh etc, and spent two days driving around looking for cars. Got one now (in thoery if they fix all that we asked) and I shall reveal more at a later time.

For now, go outside and enjoy the sunshine. It doesn’t happen that often in Britain so have fun!! Take care campers.

24: LOL

Lord of Leisure Posted on April 5, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureApril 5, 2007

I know, I said I would update Tuesday Night, and here we are on Thursday!! Well I said i was going to say stuff which is going on, but I am going to be a gimp now and hold some of it for mr podcast which should in theory be out Easter Monday.

Yes, it’s sooner than you think!

On a plus note as well I have all 4 days off which is nice, I go car shopping tommorow to see what is to be had at my price range, would really like an old Ford Focus or VW Golf, but again reality has to kick in somewhere. I have no idea being honest, just have to see. Saturday Night is Party Night in Telford again WOO! Which reminds me, must get birthday card!

WOW, wasn’t that dull? Can’t wait for the next update now, can you? Thought not! Bye Campers!

24: I have a new toy!

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 27, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 27, 2007

A brand new 1.4 litre VW POLO!! it had only 400 miles when it came into my grubby mitts. It amazed me when it turned up yesterday!! Now before anyone thinks what a good turn of events, it is a hire car provided by Swinton until all the claims are sorted out.

It is a great drive, has no real problem getting up hills, steers real well, it’s confy and well, I can’t afford one of these i’m afraid. But for however many days I do have with it, i will enjoy while it lasts. I just feel giddy at the moment. But the harsh realities will turn up soon enough I guess.

I have tommorow and friday off to do uni work, working friday night and Saturday, and then hopefully sunday get to have some more fun. Take it easy campers, and I shall update more soon.

Good News Everybody!

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 26, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 26, 2007

The swift is no more. It has been finally deemed beyond economical repair, and it appears a temp car is coming this afternoon to Oswestry.

I found this out after recieving a phone call, asking me to pop down with the swift, so off i go, driving from Work in Telford back to the repair place that was arranged by Norwich Union, they told me it was borderline, depending on the suspension. Before they had examined it, i was told it was roadworthy, but after they looked underneath, it was deemed unsafe.

Spent more time on the phone with people trying to get sorted out, and i was slightly concerned at that point as the garage said we don’t provide them if they are written off. Which for a while at least, meant I was stuck in the middle of no-where with alsorts of crap in the back of the car, and the MP3 CD Player (no damn way I was leaving that behind! It was a great present from Haydn, Dave and Chris for my birthday a while back), no taxis were avalible for a while, but alls well that ends well, the garage in their kindness, offered me a lift back. So here I am typing away on my laptop at home, after losing another day at work. Christ the loops you have to go through, borderline worse than the actual incident!!

Also got back to see that there had been a hub of activity on the ol’ myspace page, lots of bands suddenly asking me to be a friend, and a personal trainer from wrexham. I will respond in due course to comments good people, just got a few bits to sort out first.

24: An Update after the last few days…

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 25, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 25, 2007

Well Campers, i have had a few eventful days after the crash, mainly having a headache talking to the insurance people, as they try to establish who was to blame. I now know that the general rule of thumb is the person who drives into you is the one to blame. However the way i felt i didn’t know what to think, and I keep on thinking it is my fault somehow.

Was told to see the doctor to make 100% sure nothing was wrong and nothing was wrong save the old nerves. Tried to give my insurance details to the other fella on Friday night, but he didn’t want them. Seems bizarre but others assured me this was an admission of blame to not want them. Who knows? Come Monday this little tiny saga may flare up depending on the insurance companies or the other little scotum invloved.

Friday, I was also in contact with Work a lot over the work I was meant to perform during the day, with the duties taken over by Daya in the team, who sorted it all out in the end by rebooting one of the SQL cluster nodes. Nice.

Saturday, was given a ring by Glyn to make sure I was alright, and his mum gave sound advise. Many thanks to you campers, it helped a great deal. Mum and Kerry came around for Aunty Bett’s birthday and they were very supportive too. Aunty bett got a lot of flowers, cards and gardening equipment. A very good haul, and the best bit was the huge cake for her.

Saturday night, went out to a local resterante, the Queen’s Head, had a nice chat about things, had some wine, some fish. All good. Got home rather early but still felt a wee bit better.

The best thing I guess, as a result of all this recent trouble, is I got to do what I wanted to recoporate. I played WOW for the first time in over a month and a half and got addicted again just like before, replayed Psyconauts becuase i like the game, and even started on Painkiller. Just random shooting at Enermies helped a lot really, think it was resolving my pent up anger after what happened. Watched a lot of Futurama for the first time in ages, and even that episode of South Park, with russell crowe fighting around the world! This felt like a true weekend off doing work and not worrying about anything else. The only downside really, was that atm without knowing how reliable the car is, I can’t travel to see the lady friend. Don’t want to risk it just yet, in case something else happens.

The problem is, the worrying starts again Monday, as i have to go back to a “normal” rountine. Hopefully the wednesday and Friday has been approved, so a good concentration for Uni can be had. Think wednesday I will finish the Multimedia Assignment, about the City of Bath. Provided of course, it depends on how this car business turns out.

Plans are in the air atm, just a case of wait and see.

AND, about the last podcast. No feedback yet, however it is now featured on Crashing Cairo’s Myspace page for their followers to listen to. (http://www.myspace.com/crashingcairo) So I got some exposure now, wonder if more people will go for the rantings I do. Come to the UK, guys, we’ll have a beer and a good natter! After the last few days, I have enough material to say the least!

Well as it is late, and i do wonder what fresh hell awaits me, i am calling it a night. Take care of yourselves, and once again thanks to those who contacted me to see that I was OK. Made a real difference.
