The Last Two Weeks

2011-09-27T21:56:00.001+01:00

Well, I finished my Primary Placement. It was good. Unfortunately, during the unorganised nonsense that is University, I manage to not get a sheet signed that I needed to. So I had to wander down there again, and confuse people. Madness indeed.

Lessons have started properly now at university. It's odd... There's lots of lessons, and hardly any breaks. We had a five minute break today. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.. .But, yeah. Things are picking up, as we learn about behaviour issues, and planning. Obviously planning is good. Batman plans, and is prepared for everything. 'Nuff Said.

Other things. GAME finally managed to get Gears 3 to me. Such an epic game. It's a shame GAME managed to mess up the postage so much. I got it on Friday, when it came out on Tuesday. What fools. Especially since they changed my order from express delivery... Also, Play have messed up my Evile- Five Serpent's Teeth order and not given me my free patch. Odin shall be informed anon.

Yeah... Nothing much has happened really.

Here's a video about trains.

Primary Placement

2011-09-15T12:27:00.001+01:00

So... I'm on a primary school. On the second week of my PGCE stuff, I have to spent a week at a primary school. So, yeah. I'm in year 5. Stuff happens. I'm usually with the problem children, helping them do work. I don't think said problem children like my teaching style of demanding they do the work, rather than babying them. In other words "Man up and get the work done".

Other things have also happened. I should be getting new housemates soon, and they're most likely going to be fools. Humanity still hasn't regained my faith in it... What fools.

I think I may actually keep this up to date with all my PGCE nonsense. But I'll probably forget...

Be Excellent to Each Other.

New stuff

2011-09-04T20:15:00.000+01:00

So... Those current events...

I begin University again tomorrow. Yes. Begin again. Not the same course, mind, but a brand new one. Bricks I tell thee. So yeah. I'll be starting PGCE Applied ICT, in which I shall be teaching young 'uns about Metal and IT. Of course, the university has done everything in its power to mess things up, and have sent out reams of nonsense. So, I'll have to see what happens with their nonsense. Surely being organised isn't too hard? Oh, by the way. I'm special on the course. Really. They kept a place open for me. Obviously because I am so amazing etc. It was indeed a bit concerning when the head of the course said he thought I'd fit well on the course, thus the keeping open of the course for me. Madness indeed. It's me.

ANYWAY. I'm updating this again. As I type, I sit in my darkening room in the barren wastes of Clifton, Nottinghamshire. In my ears sit my headphones playing the most triumphant noises of Axel Rudi Pell. "Carousel of broken dreams, turning around in a circle. Carousel, you know what it means, making a fool outta me!!". I returned to my lodgings of... 4 years now, to find it in a most heinous state. It seems my housemates who stayed here whilst I returned to the manly lands of Derbyshire, and travelled to the the Southern wastelands of Herefordshire are incapable of looking after themselves. At all. Which is quite concerning really. You'd think that 21/23 year olds would be able to look after themselves, but no. Humanity quickly becoming a lost cause indeed.

I've been reading First Blood. That's the novel from which Rambo himself was born. This Rambo is pretty different from Mr. Stallone's version. Especially the part when he comments that Teasle's gun "looks good on him". What madness is that? Fluff your mullet Rambo, and get some violence done!
The odd thing is, the book is over forty years old, but it's full of typos. You'd think in 40 years, someone would have proof read it. Pretty bad stuff as well. "Be said" instead of "He said" and the like. Mr. Morrell seems to be failing on his punctuation too. What a fool. At least he created Rambo though. Manly to the extreme.

I'll get goin' now. Be Excellent to Each Other, and, of course, Party on Dudes.

2011-02-28T22:53:00.001Z

This blog here thing was started when I was about to go to university. Now, as I write this (DRAMATICALLY), I am hopefully near completion, if everything goes well. You can see that the tone of this changes quiet a bit. It starts out hopeful, and ends not really hopefully. So, what happened?

Well, firstly, halls of residence. At this time, I didn’t drink. At all. I flat out refused. Why? Simple really. I was never stopped from drinking. Not that my parents were negligent, but anytime I wanted a drink of their alcohol, I could have so. That gave me the impression that drinking was nothing special, and didn’t want anything to do with it. Now, at university, if you don’t drink, there is nothing to do. Seriously. At all. I went to a few things during the first week, and was bored out of my mind. Now, at this time, I wasn’t as ‘metal’ as I am now. I didn’t even own an Iron Maiden album. My collection was Crush 40, DragonForce, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Van Halen and a few others. Mostly, rock. My hair wasn’t that long either, but longer than most others. So, again the repetitive electric beats the students listened too did not interest me one bit. But, I manned up and got the welcome week over with, and started lessons. Things became a bit better then. I enjoyed the lessons, and they gave me something to do. I was away from my hall mates too. There was nothing wrong with them per se, but there was. We didn’t really get on. I can remember one of them thinking I was gay because I didn’t want anything to do with them. Obviously, she hadn’t seen her own face. Christ… Oh, and to attempt to be upper brow (What with my accent and all), she had a terrible personality. So, I did my work, and listened to my ever increasing album collection. I can clearly remember a time going to HMV and getting every Maiden album they had, because they were on 2 for £10. Good times. Building the picture of Eddie on the back… Which is oddly reversed…

Then came the second year. This was better. I got a decent house, with decent people, but now university work got stupid. One teacher changed the marking scheme in front of me so I’d get less marks, because he didn’t like me. Yeah… Good times. But then, good times began, after the last exam was done, I headed off to my first Download Festival. This was a most triumphant weekend indeed. I was into my metal proper now, and this got me into quiet a few new bands. The week after, I had my second interview at a place now known due to a fool as Copmunterland. I oddly got the job, and a week later I started. Thus begins my third university year. Coincidentally, thus begins my third paragraph. DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!

So, Copmunterland. There I met some truly most excellent people. It’s funny, because hardly anyone else has kept in contact with people from their placement, but I have. There, I became ‘Garth’, a being of supreme metal prowess. There, many a good time was had. Walking the three and a half miles there with my metal filled iPod, getting shouted at on the phone for a while, and then wandering home with my metal filled iPod. It was very metal. Here, also ‘Man up’ came up. This phrased was used many a time, against the unmanly. A good time was the quiz. We got an email around to form a quiz team. So we did. This didn’t go down too well with our team leaders, but we did it anyway. We surprised everyone by getting to the final. Management thought we were doing it for a laugh, which we were, but we were also serious. We only lost because of laughing too much in the final. It was good anyway. Then it was Download time again. Well, yes many other things happened, but I’m not going to list everything. “I think this guy’s a bit of a retard. Ohh, I need a poo. …Shit! I didn’t put him on mute!”- ©Mooncake Darryl. So, Download 2010. We at CopmunterLand talked for ages about the line up, and in the end only me and Paul went. Well, Paul didn’t… He was ill. Which he actually was. Yeah… So anyway, AC/DC! I saw them with their train. I then also saw some most triumphant bands.

Now, onto the final year. It’s madness. Still as badly organised as before. Of course, it’s our fault that all deadlines are in for the same time. Obviously. Also, students seem to be getting increasingly more stupid. Worryingly so. “I AM IN A LIBRARY ON MY PHONE!!!!1111” They even say the ones…

So yeah. Well, it started off good. I really am a bitter, old man aren’t I? “Garth, how old are you? Drinking Guinness…”

Nah. It’s not that bad. I can simply Man up and get over it. Things could be worse. My friends seem pretty decent, and put up with my strange ways. I even got invited to a wedding. Not as the groom or bride, but as part of the audience. I’m looking forwards to the epic guitar solos. Which there must be, if I’m invited… If you read this, Party on, Elms. \m/

Oh, Bulletstorm is amazing. Go and buy it. I just watched Mad Max 2. That was good too. Crumbly Lancashire Cheese from Morrisons is EPIC. Seriously. It’s Godly. By far, one of the best cheeses I’ve eaten.

tl;dr? Buy me some cheese.

Here is a picture. Good Bye.

Bah

2011-01-09T23:28:00.000Z

I have returned to the 'wonderful' place known as university. Ah well, only a few months left.

Today, I got a placement offer which I need for one of my modules. Hopefully it will go well, and I get it. Obviously, I may be too metal for them.

Anyway, being back at uni means I have to put up with a dodgy internet connection. It dies multiple times a day. It's most likely because people are idiots and download dodgy stuff from that there t'internet. Or it could be the DOS attacks we keep getting. HMM. It is annoying though. Especially on the Xbox front. You see, there's two of us with Xboxes. If one of us is online, and the other comes online, the first is kicked off. This happens a lot. I'm usually the one who gets kicked off too... I'm mostly too kind to repay the favour, as the phrase goes... What with being raised properly and everything... It is annoying when in the middle of an epic match of something, he comes on, gets me kicked off... "FUUUUUUU-------!!"

The boiler is broke here. As it is made of metal, I could use my supreme control over metal to fix it, but that would put the engineer out of a job, wouldn't it? Some nonsense about pressure, "I can't be bothered to fix it" stuff.

"This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man"

What ho?

2010-12-19T11:45:00.000Z

An update? What madness is this?

I updated somethings. Yes. It's all very exciting.

Hopefully more to follow soon. Right now I'm doing some programming in C# and listening to W.A.S.P.. Confusing indeed.

Epic Tiredness

2009-03-04T19:13:00.002Z

I'm tired... Really tired. It's 19:14 right now, and I've been in university since around 09:20. Which is around 10 hours. Which is crap. I've not had that much to eat either. Good ol' open days. There is food available for us to have for free, but it's horrible. I took me in some cobs... Well cobs with nothing in them... To eat, and get an overly expensive bottle of Coke to drink, but I'm still tired. Gotta stay here too 20:00 too. Well I don't have to, but I do morally.

Work's been dragging on... One thing after the other. Got to find a placement too. A lot in other words. Guh...

Ah well.

I tried to win a laptop but didn't win... Was going to install Windows 7 BETA on it for something to do. I could dual boot it on my current laptop, or even install over my current OS, but I don't really want to risk it. I could do it back at home on my old PC, but I only just got that working better (7 hour Windows XP installs aren't good) so I don't really want to mess that up. Currentally got Windows 7 running off my portable HDD though through Virtual PC, but that's not exactly fast seeing as my laptop's running both Vista and 7 at the same time. ...That's annoying. You could just say XP or Vista, but 7's gone back to the oldness of only sounding semi decent when you put 'Windows' before it.

Good God I'm sad... Talking about operating system names..

Onto better things.

My Name Is Bruce= Greatest film ever. Other actors are lucky Bruce isn't allowed in the Oscars cause of his superior talent. Otherwise they'd have to be renamed the Bruce Campbell awards. 'Nuff Said really. Gotta think what I want to watch tonight... Bubba Ho-Tep, Alien Apocalypse or The Man with The Screaming Brain. The latter's blurb is even funny so it must be amazing.

It's a shame really that Heath Ledger had to go and ruin the Joker... They should have had Jack Nicholson back doing it, or the mighty Bruce Campbell. Like Spider-Man 3, Bruce would have made an otherwise terrible film good. Batman's gadgets would be useless compared to the BOOMSTICK. But to be fair, Bruce's chin is too mighty to be covered by a mask like Heath Ledger's face was at the beginning. And Batman would lose badly to BC...

"Groovy"

Yeah... No more to say. Good bye :)

Cosmic Universal Fashion

2008-12-05T22:46:00.002Z

Currently I have a cold. One of them crap ones which make you really tired and your brain stops working right... Foolishness indeed. It seems to be the tail end though, cause I'm feeling better now... Well kinda better.

Guh... I've got too much work to do and it don't make sense... Foolish indeed... Needs a slapping it does. I need to be working harder me thinks. Which is a bit hard, with all the work we get... "DO THIS ASSIGNMENT BUT DO ALL THIS WORK AS WELL FOO'!" Madness...

They should open a Cabo Wabo in Clifton. Would be God Like. Sammy Hagar!! :D Even if you prefer Dave, you've gotta admit that Sammy's better than today's crap music. Sammy's in his 60's and still rocks harder and better than today's 'rock' bands. Nickleback indeed. "You should stop playing Guitar Hero and form a real rock band!" Yes. Just like you Chad... With Gene Simmons...

BANJO

2008-11-13T22:31:00.001Z

WAAAAAAYEEE!!!! Got me my code to download Banjo-Kazooie today. Amazingness indeed.

Gonna go see Paddy tomorrow with Ginger Chris and the leg-end that is DALE. Hopefully it's going to be God Like. Well it should be. Because I've just sneezed stupidly loud...

...That would be amazingly funny. Sneezing foolishly loud when Paddy's on stage.

That be all I can think of, so I shall stop typing now.

I'm Baaaaanjo!!

2008-11-06T22:33:00.002Z

Waayeee! Preordered Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts today. Hopefully gonna be God Like like the original. There's something a bit dodgy though... RARE, the people who make the game, are based about 30 minutes away from me... And it comes out in America first. Madness. I hope it won't be overly Americanised now that Billsoft took them over. Good ol' RARE games and their English humour which no-one else gets... I also hope it'll be good, unlike other RARE games since Billsoft took over....

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONIC HEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOESS!!!

I need to be catching up on work. I'm slightly late cause I had A weekend off. MADNESS. Guh. Hopefully I can get stuff sorted tomorrow, so I'm up to date for the next set of work this week.

I'm REALLY tired.. Well not sleepy tired, but my brain's stopping working. I think I need a bit more sleep. Last night, on my job, I couldn't even string sentences together on some work... That's bad. There's probably loads of errors in here too...

I kinda wanna write a new story... Or at least continue Penseri Corti. I've got a bit of a part written, but not touched it for a while. But I don't want to be stuck on the computer all the time...

Guh.. I wanna day off... :( I've got enough work to keep doing at a normal pace, but then not enough time to to extra stuff like research. Hmm... Hopefully it'll sort out soon.

But....

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLCOOOOOOOONE...
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUNCHHHHHHHH!!!!!

PADDY NEXT WEEK!!! Waaaaaaaaayeeeeee!!!!!!!! You might well quiver... Ya dirty little pastie!

OBJECTION!!!

2008-11-04T22:09:00.002Z

Phoenix Wright!!! GOD LIKE GAMING. Slow, but eventually becomes epic. Especially the later levels of the Phoenix Wright saga... "OBJECTION!!!!" Remembered how amazing it was, when hearing a remix of some of the music on Phoenix Wright. I wanna play it again now. I've only played 2-4 through once, so I should probably do them again... Or start again at one...

Tuesday. The day off. Got some work done. Had a meeting with year 1's for my job, and they didn't turn up............ ANYWAY. Then some foo' turned up for some survey for the government. Madness indeed... But he knew I was wearing a Black Sabbath shirt, even though it says nowhere on it that it's Black Sabbath.... Hmm....

Oracle SQL has foolish errors. TABLE DOES NOT EXIST EVEN THOUGH IT DOES. .....................................

It's been raining lately. When it rains, a drip is formed on the guttering. This drips down onto the conservatory below. This is below my room, and makes a loud banging noise. Annoying indeed.

Dirty Little Pastie

2008-11-03T22:48:00.002Z

Good ol' Paddy...

Been awhile... AGAIN... Since I updated this. Yeah... Ah well.

It's COLD here. Plus to make it worse we can't have the heating on much to save electricity. Damn you On Power or whoever you are!!! MADNESS!!! I want me free electricity!!! We live near a power station, so it should be cheap...

Power station with a golf course that is.

Well... In Victoria Centre, home of Tesco Metro, there's a new shop opened. It sells Godly t-shirts! Litterally. God me a Dio involved shirt \m/. It sells some DVDs and CDs and stuff, but mostly merchandice. Like belts... And wallets... And other clothes. Pulp= Godly. Plus it's got a cool, animated sign.

Bringin' your daughter... To the slaughter...!

Yes.

Work seems to be at a steady pace. Like enough to do, and have to keep doing it in order to keep up kinda level. Plus one module which makes no sense at all, which is always good. Especially when the teacher says, and I quote "I don't know what answer is"...

COLD

On the 14th, going to see Paddy McGuinness with the gingerest of ninjas and the legend that is Dale. Should be amazing. PADDY!!!!!!! "Nothin' from Wigan is goin' in my mouth!"

IN-
DEED

Exactly...

2008-06-13T20:42:00.001+01:00

Well... Back home now. Been sorting stuff out. Like getting rid of really old work, from as far back as year 7. That's about 7 years ago... It's a bit worrying having been in school about 15 years now... Ah well...

2 weeks until Smash Bros Brawl!!!! And also 9 days until Rambo is out!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaayeeeee!!!!!!

Today I installed another operating system on my computer to dual boot it kinda thing. Wasn't too pleased when it looked like I'd erased Windows... But then it was still there, so all was well after it check disked for a while. And I do mean a while...

Good lord my CD drive is making a lot of noise... Isn't it annoying though when iTunes doesn't work out what a CD is, but then it has it in the store? Madness it is! I'm sure even Microsoft would manage to do that. Apple....

Germany vs Poland in Austria is the greatest thing in the Euro stuff. I bet who came up with that laughed...

Wort...?

2008-06-03T11:27:00.002+01:00

SWEET BABY JESUS THAT EXAM WAS HARD!!

Indeed... Terrible it was... Hopefully I've passed it with my limited intellect. But I think I might have worked out one question which others thought was an error. Obviously cause I've got a Wario statue thingy standing on top of my telly. I'm a gonna weeeeen!!... But it's probably gonna be more like: I lost, to a buncha losers!!

Good ol' Wario....

Good lord...

2008-06-02T23:09:00.001+01:00

Been a while since updated this... Ah well. Uni year's nearly finished, so no more crap music, and raw sewage leaking into my room. Waayee! Plus back to people who know what a gnat is. 'Black Fly' indeed... I know they are black flying things, but they's gnats, not flies...

On a short note, though I didn't watch all of it, I saw that dancing lad who won Britain's Got Talent. It says at the bottom of MSN that he's got a spine problem. I blame him for failing to dance around for long. Really... Fair enough he can do it, but people do that sort of thing for hours. He was tired after 2 minutes. Foolish boy! Needs from training from DLR he does!!

I need to write my ideas down... I've got an idea for a story but I've not had chance to write it yet... And I'll probably forget it soon... :( I've been wanting to do a Cyberpunk type story but I don't think I'm good enough... I'll have to have a go and see... Hmm.

The problem with Cyberpunk is, it's very complicated. REALLY complicated. So if I did manage to write some, would people understand what I wrote? Not putting anyone down, I just mean if they could understand my descriptions. But that might be the point... To make something really complicated, so it makes no sense, so the reader can draw their own conclusions. But then again, that makes the book look kinda crap if it's done badly. There's also the sheer amount of thought needed to create stuff, and you know how thick I am... Ah well. We'll see.

Uni-ness

2007-09-26T14:18:00.000+01:00

I haven't updated this in a while... Ah well... I might update it more frequently in the future.

Well, I'm off to university on Friday. Hopefully it should be good. Been getting stuff together to take, and I've already made contact with one person who's going to be in the same 'flat' (How is a corridor a flat?) as me. I'm gonna do Computer Studies which I've often confused with Computing cause it's exactly the same course but with a different name...

I've watched up to season 9 in my SG-1 boxsets, but 10 isn't out yet! I wanna find out what happens! :( HOW MANY TIMES DOES TEAL'C SAY INDEED AND/OR BEAT DOWN MITCHELL?!??! I've started Atlantis now though. Got seasons 1 and 2 for cheap in WH Smith. :D £25 each. Amazon's selling season 2 for £50. Wayee! Season 1 seems loads better with no trailers and half of it missing a la Five. Crappy Five... Messing up season 8 of SG-1 too by starting Atlantis early... And 4 messing up the return of Shanks in season 7! AND SEASON 6 FOR EXISTING!!

What else? Well it's slightly cold... And it's goin' dark outside. Probably gonna rain. I keep hearing banging... Hmm...

VAN HALEN REUNION TOUR!! :D Waaaaaaayeee! *Glares at them to come here and to actually stay together for more than 5 days*

Holiday again

2007-09-08T11:59:00.001+01:00

Writing this on the floor in my room. Indeed. I be on holiday in Northumberland. I took my laptop for something to do there. I can’t get on the internet though…

Been here since Friday afternoon and it’s now Saturday afternoon. I’ll update this thingy every so often. Maybe… I dunno… Summat to do.

I’ve got this big double bed thingy. Problem is I’m too tall for it… And I’m average height… Madness it is. The pillow’s pretty poor too.

Anyway, today we went a big walk in a circle and went to this castle. Nothing really happened… Well, a sheep made a strange noise but that’s about it. Yeah…

The website said that someone who’d been here said that the telly was big. It’s a 17” TFT thing… That isn’t big…. Now if it was 17’… *Thinks of Spinal Tap*

Sunday- We went to Alnwick toay. Was supposed to go to this castle or a poison garden. However, these cost a rip off price, so we didn’t go in. We went to Morrisons though… That’s about it. Oh yeah, we went to this massive second hand bookstore place. I got me a book there. Hmm… I watched some Stargate today too. Season 9.

Yesterday I watched this “Tommy Lee goes to college” thingy. I’m sure he’d be 40 odd… Was odd… Diamond Dave or Dio should of done it instead. Would have been loads better. But they wouldn’t have done it, so ya know…

Typing lying down is hard…

There’s a notice saying to email there owner of this place if there’s a problem. However, there be no internet. Well, there’s phone sockets so you could use dial up, but you’d need all software and cables… Madness… (Yes I know you can use mobile phones but texting is the devil’s work).

Monday- Went to Newcastle today. Thus I am listening to ma new CD… Heaven & Hell Live. The mighty Dio with Black Sabbath. Dio still sounds amazing and he’s got to be several hundred years old by now….

Anyway, this is the third time I’ve actually been to Newcastle. Every time I went to the Baltic Art Gallery too. Don’t worry, it’s still crap. Speaking of going to Newcastle, it means I’ve been out of the country 3 times this year… Once to France, once to Switzerland and once to Newcastle. It’s not in England… It’s separate…

I got the 1^st Ghost in the Shell manga too. £5 off you see… Still a bit expensive, but ya know. It seems to be pretty good. Some pages are coloured too. A few dodgy pages so far though… But then again there’s a bit were the author says he can’t be bothered to draw the next section. Amazing that.

I’m kneeling today, cause I don’t want to mess up my ‘Scarface Mario’ shirt. Imagine the poster for Scarface but with Mario on it instead. T’is amazing. Unlike Scarface. That was poor when I watched it… A bit like The Godfather…

Geordies don’t speak English… Oh yeah, this foolish idiot tried to laugh at me. Was amazing. He was a short fool with a poor haircut. He turns to me and my parents and looks like he’s going to laugh at me. I put on this semi-glare kinda thing. I didn’t blink, or do a hard stare. The lad about soiled himself and turned back to his friends. Was funny. Thus is the power of… THE GAZZA.

Tuesday- Didn’t do much today. Went a walk around this hill place, and then went home. Then spent time reading and watching the RAF fly around in jets and a Chinook. Jet’s are cool. Helechopers the size of a bus are crap. Names were taken and asses kicked up at their golf ball headquarters.

Wednesday- A lot happened yesterday, didn’t it? Hmm… Well the outsight light than can be seen from my window finally was turned off (It wasn’t ours). That’s about it really.

Today, we went to this island. Can’t remember it’s name… L summat. There was a castle (…) and the remains of a church thingy. That’s about it really. We had to go over this bridge thingy to get there. It involved waiting for the tide to go out. It made a German woman cry. Well not really, but she was crying. Probably couldn’t find any Axel Rudi Pell stuff here (God like German band).

I’ve had a few ideas for stories too. Wayee!

Thursday- Went to a castle today. Was pretty poor. But I got a birthday present for my mum and cut my chin open with a biscuit. Damn ginger thing… Made a funny video of it though. It was meant to be a joke, but then it turned out even funnier with me being cut in it. All is well.

Last day here, and then we finally go home. WAAAYEE!! :D

Can’t think of anything else… Oh yeah, we went on a boat today. Was good, even though it was stupidly slow…

Well, I'm back now, writing this right now. It's Saturday now. Get back to 2 letters and several emails. Yeah. Not much, but still. Ah well...

University

2007-08-16T08:19:00.000+01:00

About 20 minutes ago, I was on UCAS site and found I got into Uni. Yeah. Dunno my results yet, but still...
I'll be going at around 9:30am to school to get my results and meet up with people again.

Nothing else really to write, apart from I nearly killed myself on Monday whilst on work experience... Messing around with turned on computers is not adviseable... Dunno why I did it...

CHF 18.40

2007-08-08T11:21:00.001+01:00

It's been a while since I updated this... Hmm...

Well, what've I been up to? Last week I was in Switzerland with my friend Richard. It was hot. We went from Monday-Thursday. Ya know, go on Monday and get back on Thursday. We went around with a friend of Richard's dad, and his family. Was good. Even the poor "Smoke on the Water" references... We went to Lake Geneva you see. Fireworks over it equals smoke. Smoke on the water...

Many strange events happened there... Like the American Race Team incident. We were watching this bike race thingy, and the Americans were getting thrashed. So they decided to cheat. American driver goes into this Russian one on a turn. Russian bloke flies off his bike, lands on his face smashing all his helmet up, and then flies into the barrier and scrunches up. There's an interview after with the American driver "It's a pretty hard decision... I don't think it was my fault" 'Nuff Said really.

What else happened? Hmm... I tried lots of new food. Yeah... Me being a fussy eater and all. Wednesday night was the second time I'd ever had chips... How's that? National dish thingy and I've only had it twice... Takes skill that. Anyway, some of the stuff was good, some of it foul... Like this salad thingy I had on Thursday... It had vinegar on it or something. It was terrible. Names were taken.

Oh yeah... "CHF 18.40". I'm pretty sure that's 18.40 Swiss Francs. That's how much I spent in one go. Yes. CHEAPNESS. That was for quiet a lot of stuff too...

Enough of that... Stuff that's happening back home. Well my internet's going CRAP! It's going INSANELY slow and continually dies. Which isn't good. Crazy foo' blackmailing ISP... Can't complain because of damned outsourcing too... Not happy about that...

Results day next Thursday. It better go well... Otherwise...

Can't think of anything else to write about, so I'll stop now... *Wanders away*

Wayee!

This morning, I checked this Google news thingy I got set up for Van Halen stuff (...Sad be me). Anyway... "According to MelodicRock.com, VAN HALEN is preparing to hit the road in the US beginning in September" WAAAAYEE!!
Dunno who's the singer though... It'll probably be Diamond Dave *Listens to some classic VH*, which may be good. I've kinda seen Sammy Live. Well kinda, because of DVDs rather than bad quality You Tube videos which I've seen Dave on.
Anyway. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEE!!! They best come here though... With the Midlands being "the spirtual home of *forgets... and adds in bit* such music" Plus apparently Monsters of Rock (The one that was at Donnington) was the last perforance with Dave... So do a UK tour!! T'is a better place. It's smaller so it won't take as long you see. Roads have probably gotten better to (Dave didn't like English roads or summat...).

I'll shut up now *Hears Dave saying he forgot the words to what he was singing*

"Indeed..."

Gasp! Some stuff's been happening. Yorkshire just above where I am now, has had places flooded because of heavy rain fall. Which is not really very good, with lots of people's lifes and stuff being ruined. Hopefully things will get better for them *Shakes fist at the rain*

Anyway...

Not been doing much. I've been helping out at home when I can, but I did inquire about a job kinda thing. They haven't got back to me yet though... Which is good...
I need to be writing some stuff (I write stuff you see). I've got this competition entry to do, and someother stories. One I haven't done anything on since about December... Hmm. I have to get round to that...
I blame school work... It's broken me. I want to do stuff I want, but I kinda feel like I have to be working...

I'll shut up now. I'll think of something worthwhile to stick on here sometime.

Ay up!

Hello! Trying out this blogging thingy. I thought of setting one up for both a place to keep random things I think of, and also so that people can find out what I be doing now I left school.

Well, THE GAZZA. A combination of a nickname, and a typo. I don't know how long I'll keep that name, because I think I can change it... It's in captials to make it look more pompus, to send it up. That's all really... There's nothing really special about it or me...

Stuff I like... Playing games, reading, writing, listing to amazin' music. Helping people is good too, as well as being with friends either on the internet or in real life. I like films too. Well good ones. Rubbish films aren't really very good...

Anyway, left school now. Finished A2 levels, and I'm hoping to go off to university. Yeah. It'd be good if I get in, especially since I worked that hard on my A Levels. I know I'm not that bright, but I still better get some decent marks.

Right, I'll shut up now, and look at some other stuff I can do here... See ya!
