T shirt update

Ok, so surprise surprise the t shirt didn’t get added because it wasn’t good enough (read: too crass). However the good news is that Han is home!

Hi everyone how are you?

You may (or may not) remember a blathering post I made on here about how shitty my router is. Well, my new one arrived the other day and it has been nothing but plain sailing. Fuck you in the face BT. If you are really interested it is a Linksys WAG200G, or in picture form it’s one of these:

Rather exciting as you can see. Good news is that it works. :D

I’ve also got a couple of new toys. Firstly there was the router, but my latest is this really cool freeview usb stick for my computer so I can watch digital telly on it using the miracles of Windows Media Centre. I always wondered what that was for… You might be thinking it’s a silly idea to use slow old USB when i could put a PCI card in but the truth is that i’ve run out of space with my DUAL GRAPHICS CARDS ahehahahaha.

Other big news is that i’m almost totally moved into my new bedrooms above the garage. Cool thing about this is that I get a living room and a bedroom next to eachother so it’s like a mini house but without the kitchen or bathroom. Only down side of it being like a real house is that I get all the moving in rubbish which comes with… well… moving in. I’ve been living amongst unpacked boxes and sleeping on a sofa bed for like 3 weeks or something! Still, it will be worth it in the end. I’ll keep you posted on this super exciting news! :trex:

Last Saturday was George’s 18th birthday and in true Essex lout style we went out on the town and got totally shit faced, especially George. He had found this drink called an Irish Car Bomb on the internet somewhere and decided to try it out. The recipie is as follows:

  1. 1 shot of Irish whisky in a pint glass
  2. top it up almost to the top with Guinness
  3. float a shot of Bailies on the top
  4. Throw up
The whole thing cost about £8 so he won’t be doing that again, it tasted like Guinness milk shake which was cool but the Bailies curdled which is not cool. Whole night lasted till 2am when George was too pissed to drink any more and went home. Good night out, here’s some photographic evidence:

Great.

Miscellaneous news is as follows: I’m still enjoying college, even if I know most of the stuff they have tried to teach me so far. Oh well! Team Fortress 2 is totally kick ass, especially as I can now stay connected for long enough to play (god bless you router). Max is off to uni on Sunday and i’ll miss him, boo hoo :(. Han seems to be having a great time in Africa and should be starting out on her main journey next week. I miss her a lot :huggle:

Love to you all.

:runaway:

Router Woes

I’m currently using the Bt Home Hub “router” at home as my old voyager2100 broke down and this one came with the new package or something. Anyway, it was fairly mediocre for a while which I can live with but then gradually got worse and worse, cutting out randomly and most irritatingly it disconnects me from tf2 most times I try to play, unassigns everyone on the network’s IPs and stops anyone from accessing the control panel. Cheers BT you bunch of FUCKS. I’ve got a new proper router on the way but it wont arrive until tuesday at the earliest so no hardcore gaming for a while… how annoying.

Golf on the other hand is going quite well. I’m starting to get semi accurate and can now either wallop it really far in a straight line, or chip it into a 3 yard radius. Woo! I’d say I’m well on my way to becoming a pro.

TF2

So, like I said yesterday i’m totally getting into this game now and we’ve even got a little w&b group going. Here’s some stats about me:

here’s a link to my steam ID and a link to all my TF2 stats. This game comes with the Orange Box and if you preorder before October you get on the beta, which equals an extra month of playtime before the proper release on October 10th (provided they make the deadline, which they won’t.) My only gripe so far is the lack of linux dedicated server but that should appear tomorrow ish.

Sorry for the Lack of Blog

Yes, as usual i’ve been neglecting this here bloggypoos but don’t you worry as I haven’t died. I have however got to level 66 on Warcraft, but i’m bored again now so I have come crawling back to you guys for friendship and forgiveness. I’m not just asking for this in return for nothing, oh no, There are some lovely gifts at the bottom of the page which i made, just for you (might be a lie).

Good news: May Fair is back on for next year. Woo! We’ll just have to do something exciting ourselves for 2007. More good news is that my birthday is in 22 days and I’m getting (I hope) a new lens for my camera (50mm F1.8) so I can take some lovely new photographs.

Bad News: Teh Blog isn’t working. I can’t work out why but it keeps getting a 500 error. I am still working on this.

Love and such.

Starting Over

I used to use this blog Quite a lot and then totally forgot all about it so I’ve decided to start from scratch. I can put most of this absence down to an addiction to World Of Warcraft (i’m level 64 now) but the last few weeks i’ve hardly been playing.

I should probably start with what I’ve been doing… I have been on short holiday breaks, twice. They were really nice and relaxing. I’ve been having English Literature tuition at home which is also nice as it means I should have an A Level by the end of this school year. Woo! That leads me nicely onto my year anniversary of being diagnosed with M.E. which isn’t really anything to celebrate apart from I’ve got a lot better compared to how I was a year ago. For example I can now sleep at night. I’ve seen a dietician and I’ve got a second check-up with this consultant dude on Thursday so hopefully things will go well.

Christmas. I got an iPod to replace poor old Arthur Jr. (RIP). Grandma and Granddad came down for a few days and we were all like “mm, this is fun. merry xmaz” and stuff. New years’ was at Matt’s house and we raved it up big style. January seems pretty hazy for some reason but that probably just means it wasn’t very interesting. Since then I’ve had a trip to Durham with Maxxy Pee to see our good pal Paulie Walnuts and got absolutely twatted 3 nights in a row for very little money at all. This has confirmed my desire to go to uni. Since then I’ve been to a couple of parties and got pissed, nothing near the Durham scale of things but still quite nicely tipsy. One good thing (of many) that came out of our little trip is that Max can now handle a lot more booze, thanks to me pennying most of his drinks.

Han has recently got a job at B&Q so she can afford to buy me things and she is also very happy about it and today she served Jamie from Pimp My Ride UK. He’s the one that looks like a twat with highlights and stuff (No, not that one. He’s Westwood.).

Linkdump: Lots of photos have probably been added to my Deviantart gallery and i’m now part of Facebook as well as good old MySpaz. Also, Teh Blog is still just about running.
