Wonderful News

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 22, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 22, 2007

Some chav ran into me as i was parking up in Oswestry after work this evening around quarter to 9. What happened was I was pulling up, pretty sure i indicated to turn left, swung out slightly to the right to turn left which perhaps i should not have done, and just going through the gate when i felt the bump and the car skidded around.

The swift’s left side is quite badly damaged and the wheel was hit but like to be still on. The other guys car looked worse off, so he must have hit with some force. Phoned the police, got the incident number, they wouldn’t come out as no-one was hurt and the road was not blocked.

Had a word with the guy and I apprantly indicated to turn right, not left. And moved without warning. So it was my fault. However i didn’t see him in the read view mirror and didn’t even know he was there until the hit. Didn’t see him coming.

Have his details cortesy of his dad, and his dad said he’s got to learn to slow down, even though it is all my fault according to the chav in question.

I am being a git about him, as his darling girlfrined turned up, being protective of him, and saying how his car is banged up, GEE FUCKING WHZZ, so is mine!! And other chav girl people drove past around and around gorping and having fun, finally stopped, talking to the chav and he was going fucking this bastard that and the other. Cheers mate, you a great guy who should have a prize. He didn’t say anything back about this when I said “Thanks mate, saying fuck this fuck that, really helpful.” I can’t believe this was all my doing in the least. I feel so angry right now, and hell the worst part about it is i don’t remember half of what was going on, so for all i now know, he was 100% right. Or He was a speeding nonce who couldn’t brake in time. Got to try and think what happened properly.

Fantastic, eh? My first car “incident” with another car. What a joy that is. And goodbye to cheap insurence in any case, they always stick the premium up regardless who it was.

LOL, you know i said I wanted a new car, looks like i have no choice in the matter, which now kind of screws up the rest of the year financially and beyond now. Great.

Brief

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 19, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 19, 2007

Long Weekend. Lots of goings on in Personal Life. Failed to do any work on Uni, falling way behind on that, beginning to worry me greatly. Saw Natalie, had alright time and found out i had offended rather badly. Not the first time offended anyone but this was rather serious. Saw mum on mother’s day. Feel depressed at the moment. Shit. Podcast being recorded now.

got home!

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 14, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 14, 2007

well got home just now in no short order, watched the last ever episode of Stargate SG1 was wasn’t as good as I was hoping but then again, the DVD Films will be out later this year, so maybe it will get no holds barred.

Even got hold of Dave and Chris while at work and hopefully getting something sorted for friday and beyond. Talked to Glyn on MSN, while the copy process continued, so all in all, it wasn’t a complete wasted night at work! Tommorow will bring uni, and let’s see what happens. Might even get a shock. Who Knows? Well Good night people, take it easy and I will update soon.

24: The update of updating on the art to date up on…

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 14, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 14, 2007

Sorry, i am still at work at 6:30 in the evening despite working since 8 this morning, and I am annoyed. Annoyed frankly at people’s ablity to fob things off when you need help the most, in fact the real helpful people have been at all places: Microsoft, have been on the phone with their support about a really nasty problem with a crap piece of their software called Application Center 2000.

In fact as we speak I am preparing the full log files etc to upload to some workspace created by their Product Support Reporting tools, which you only ever use if you have to raise a case with MS. Isn’t this dull and boring the pants off you? It certainly is me!!

Anyway, the weekend was a hectic one which i will leave for the podcast. survice it to say there were a change in the ol plans, of which i have said sorry for missing out on Mandy’s Birthday Bash. Seen Natalie for a chat about things, and regretfully the majority of my time has been spent on bloody work. AGAIN! At least i will get some money and maybe even a promotion on the horizon, according to my boss as it appears I doing very well. Never mind.

I still would prefer to be doing other things really, and not even the uni work, ugh still have that to do after all this rubbish. You see this is the problem with aspirations and ambition. It appears there is far too much work invloved with it.

Still I have some good plans ahead for the weekend, including recording the podcast which will take a slight detour off what i normally ramble about, but it should peak your interests at least. Bye Kids!

Brief Update

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 10, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 10, 2007

Yes I know as i write this, it is 6:21am on a saturday morning. Ever so brief update really, My voice is begining to return, though still needs some way before I can do karaoke!! Saw nat last night for a very brief hello as i didn’t leave work till 8, a nice round 11 hour shift becuase of some numptys unable to do their job and we were getting the blame for it.

In fact I leave for another long day at work today, and possibly the same again tommorow. I hope the money is good, (may charge extra for some ice cream or something, may as well, remember that news story which told us what we all already knew? People fiddle their expenses!! SHOCK!)

Podcast stuff is still on hold for recording until my voice is back in fighting shape. Listened to some of the music My good mate Glyn recommended from the free website licensed under the creative commons license method, and i tell you it’s not half bad. better than some of the other poo out there. Go to his blog by clicking on Mr Russell “Fighting round the world” Crowe! Good one sir!

And hopefully I will get to see the film Spinal Tap this weekend, as someone from work lent me the DVD, saying it was really good. Apparently it appeals to my sense of humour…. 🙂

24: So much for the week

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 9, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 9, 2007

Well campers, the laid laid plans etc. I haven’t began recording yet, as my throat has decided to go off the deep end, as i am convinced that as a result of standing in a datacenter for days on end with hot hot being blown about, this has resulted in my throat becoming sore, and i can bearly speak.

Some people rejoice at that news. Gits.

Also the time spent in birmingham and one of my plans there would be fantastic as it seems too good to be true, however I may be scuppered due to the degree, which of course is wonderful. I haven’t been this bored for quite some time, assignments abound again on stuff I don’t care, nor having the ablity to write about it as it is pure guess work / coping from wikipedia and one textbook.

I fail to see the benefit but then again this is why i am not in education.

Saturday looks decidedly shacky for the social, so may abandon the night out in chester, just have to what tommorow brings really. Friday hopefully, out with natalie eating and what-have-you. Let’s see how we go and who knows, I may have some good news for a change soon!!

Feel like chicken tonight. Hmm, nice. Oh, and I must have a word about Prison Break, it just seems to go from bad to worse for the two brothers, and I really can’t wait to see how it ends for this series. Great telly. Hotel Babylon is another show i really like, last weeks show with the footballers was great. You knew they were going to get their own back, but it was nice to see them get “done in”. Seems telly is getting slightly better now. Just wait till April now for the return of Doctor Who. Proper bo.

The Myspace page btw is still going well, and i got in touch with someone from school there, Rod who is living in birmingham running a successful business which is fair play. May even get the chance to meet up and chat.

24: Things coming up

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 3, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 3, 2007

Monday: See Natalie for first time in ages.
Tuesday: Appointment in Birmingham
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Uni Day, and messing about mainly
Friday: Gym
Saturday: Overtime, and someone’s birthday bash thing.
Sunday: Back to Work again and messing around.

There we are, the overview of the coming week in brief form. There are other things afoot for the summer now, and i am kind of stuck now in terms of how to proceed further on a few bits. So much I want to do this year, and so little money. What a complete bugger it is. I can either go to one thing or go to another, both on the high priority list, and it is do-able. However it does mean losing more weekends to work. Considering that that what i want to do will be hopefully good experiences so it will be worth it, I reckon.

Work on the next podcast begins next week as well, and will be released shortly after with more details on lots of nice things, along with other happenings over the past couple of weeks (it will be a lot shorter, trust me!). Something which gets me, is that these posts are a lot shorter as well, I tend to save what I do for the podcasts now, does this bother anyone?

Anyway, it keeps me away from the spar, drink White Lightening, wearing a hoody and getting all street. Word, and innt gov’ner. Wait that’s a street urchin. Bugger it I don’t know, seems i’m out of touch. This was kind of clear last night, as it seems I am having less and less in common with people i used to know really well a long time ago (not long in the grand scheme of things) and now we can say hello and what have you, but really you get kind of lost. This has happened a lot and really I have no idea what to do.

But then again this is always a two-way thing, and it requires effort on behalf of everyone if it is to stay alive, in terms of friendship and beyond of course. It seems that people will only do things if it is covienent to them. I.e. they wouldn’t have to move away from their doorstep or cost them anything. I have fallen into this catagory as well really so am just as guilty. It’s a sign of people moving on and apart. I know it happens in life, and frankly i should accept it. Bitter pill to swallow though.

24: Just got in.

Lord of Leisure Posted on March 3, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMarch 3, 2007

Hello campers, just a note to say I have just come back from a night out on chester with Sian, Laura and a load of other people I never seen before, it was someone’s birthday or something, and i will say this now. I got bored. The talking bit was good, as at least i can do something. And it seemed everyone else was a lot more lively in Weatherspoons thatn anywhere else.

But got to reflex, (with the legendary sticky floor, made it even more of a legend by getting actual sellotape stuck to my shoes!) well it’s the 80’s stuff. It really is starting to get on my man breasts.

There was one time i go nuts for it, but now it really is beginning to annoy me, and now when i see people going ape over it (that “best days of our life song is one to be singled out), i just wonder why, it’s not that good to me, I would prefer a bit of aerosmith, or Madness, there you go, better suggestions already.

The upstairs was a wee bit better, but the DJ guy they had, said Kasier Cheifs wouldn’t go until after 2am, and until then we were stuck with the well known and loved by all “Generic Beat Music” which sounds all the same to me and bleeds into one another. But i don’t care, i dance all the same.

Got ripped off by a pinball machine, with only one working flipper, and got bored enough to come home early.

My word, i know it looks like it was pure s**t, but it wasn’t really, I had a good laugh with Sian and Laura, talking about all sorts of sillyness. Good to see them again, and well god knows when the next time will be, but i suspect it will better. Chester is not renowned for it’s nightlife. And it is so easy to focus on the negatives in life.

24: Once more we find ourselves here

Lord of Leisure Posted on February 28, 2007 by The Lord of LeisureMay 10, 2007

[display_podcast]

Well while I am here, may as may well try and plug the next cast, using a well known tv theme tune to further the cause. If you can’t guess what It is, well you are silly!

Right since monday, those texts stopped so someone got the message, I have been messing around at home trying to sort things out for one uni assignment, only to be told today that one I haven’t even started is due tommorow. Oh woe is me. On the plus side, spoke to Natalie today and she is looking forward to Sunday as that is when she is back in Blighty.

Also the myspace page is recieveing some attention now, remember I set that up a long time ago, well how good is this, I can count Simply red as one of my friends!?! I know it doesn’t mean anything but still it feels warm and fuzzy inside. My ipod went funny Tuesday in that I could not play anything. Restoring the thing to health requires work and most of tuesday night was spent trying to resurect the bloody thing!!

There we are all nice and boring at the moment, but it appears there are social gatherings over the hill, not the ever so elusive monster as in that song. Possibles include friday in Chester, Weekend After, Paintballing and another birthday bash, and all sorts of bounty.

Let’s rock!
