Hello Everyone, Want an Update???

OK, OK, so it's been a while, well a looonnngggg while! I don't really know why I have not updated, I wish I could say it was because I was so busy but I don't think that excuse will cut it. I am still not working, by choice, am telling people that I am retired. I have not even looked for a job, it's not the situation I wanted to be in but when I realised that this is the last time in my life that I will not have any responsibilities, no bills, wife, GF, kids and that gubbens, with enough money put aside to live the same life that I have been, I thought I should enjoy it! So here we are.

I have found plenty to get on with, working through an PC Maintenance course with a friend, playing poker (won in Wolseys last night sorry Kayeso), hitting the pub and acting like a teenager every weekend, watching every movie going that I can grab, got Sky+ so am very flexible as to when I wanna watch TV (can't recommend Sky+ high enough), playing PS3 (bought lots of games), modding my PC (hard drives, routers, software, etc), pottering, blah, blah, blah. It's great just doing whatever and living anti social hours (can't tell if 6am is early in the morning of late at night)! The weirdest thing is that I am drinking less than I ever was before, I thought I would be drinking more but hey, that's a good thing!

This week I watched the Royal Rumble live with John on Sunday, poker last night in the pub, tonight is study night at Brian's, hair cut tomorrow night (been growing it and I look like a 70's throw back), cleaning, etc on Fri and then round to Two Beers, finally out on the town on Saturday night, dinner and clubbing possibly... Sunday chill and take my niece out for lunch!

I have booked a holiday to Costa Del Cardiff to see Jackie for our birthdays so looking forward to that and may try and get away somewhere else any offers, Malaga anyone?! lol

Little Amy bunny is up the duff, nothing to do with me... he he, but I wanna congratulate her and wish her all the best, she will be a wonderful Mom!

Should mention the new TV shows starting soon (the bloody writers strike is really messing up my TV as everything that I DL is on hold), Lost next week and Ashes to Ashes, boy that show has a lot to live up to! I am currently DL'ing all the hits from 1981.

My internet is screwed (something to do with the telephone line and problems on my exchange but that's my own findings), I use Tiscali and this is an extract from our last exchange, can you tell how stressed I am getting, lol. It's been going on for like 6 months now:

"Can you please explain to me why I was told by two of your 2nd level support team and 1 sales person why my line (after testing) could support 7.7mb?

I used to have 2.3mb broadband until I started having problems, traced to Tiscali but no formal explanation given, with a loss of broadband for 2 weeks and now achieving only a speed of 1.2mb. Can you tell me why you are now only saying it will support a slower speed (I have checked samknows to see what I can get), has my line been tested at all? Also I have had e mails confirming that the upgrade will take place and also it has taken a month for someone to get back to me on this despite various e mails to billing, technical support, etc."

I really need to change my profile here, it's been the same for over 6 months and a little out of date!

Finally today I have to mention Big Brother, I know no one watched it but you really missed out, it was fantastic and Big John deserved to win, what a lovely man. Special mention goes to Calista she is my ideal chick, to young obviously but she is fun, hot, intelligent, hubba, hubba!

Peace out!

The End Of Delivering Milk To Glastonbury....

Current Mood ::

Last week was the end of an era! My Mom stopped getting milk delivered to the house. Now I have no idea who still gets this done, I bet most of you buy it from Tescos or pick a pint up in the garage on the way home from work but never in my life (at home) have I had to do this. Milk and fresh orange have always been at our door every morning! I am sure that my rents in their 70 years on this planet have always had milk delivered, in fact it was probably the first form of recycling and I believe this is a sad state of affairs in our country. Apparently it was not paying the guys to do the run anymore, few people got it delivered saying the price was too high and so they had to give it up, they could not even sell it on!

TODAY'S BIG BROTHER THOUGHT :: All fairly normal really, hating the screaming little girls tho *Grrr*! The raver chick (I will learn the names as we go along) is my fav, the Victoria B look alike is the prettiest, the football chick is so far off the mark when it comes to being hot or a trend setter and that is one angry lady in the political protester! I would love to be the man going in on Friday, most of my time is spent with chicks and I can handle every conversation turning to looks, fat, eating or fashion! One final though, why the hell is the fridge beside the smoking area, I know they want intermingling but food and smoking together aint the best combo!

Sleep Deprived While Tiscali Limps On...

I am a bit pissed off today, not least that it's been like 2 weeks or more since I have managed to get to sleep before 2am and longer since I have had a nights sleep without waking 5 times! It just is not enough to function on properly at 9am in the morning! So just don't wind me up, OK!!

MySpace is still messing me around with the phishing accusations, so I can't post bulletins, which I know a lot of people actually read, unlike having a blog but there you go. Think it might be the fact that in any one day I am accessing it with 3 different operating system (Win98, XP and Vista) and 2 separate connections *sigh*

I got a NETGEAR DG834G really cheap, I know it is yesterdays technology and not the best piece of kit but Tiscali where not playing ball with my modem, I wanted wireless and it was just easier that way. Unfortunately my speeds have been awful in the last week and I know it's not at my end, I have also been complying with the terms under the fair use policy. Nearly half the time it's under dial up speed! They have asked me for speed test results in the morning, 6pm and late at night before they will look at the problem. See if they come back with some crap about drivers, firewall, Vista or router I am not going to be happy, I know all these things are installed correctly and compatible with Vista! I KNOW A LOT ABOUT COMPUTERS, OK!!

So the week ahead is fairly normal, seeing Dimples tonight, Wednesday is Kayeso's home game hopefully, Thursday is cleaning, Friday meeting, drinking, poker online, NEW Heroes, South Park and getting trashed!

Saturday is a big one, the last weekend before the Smoking Ban takes effect, so going out dancing as it's maybe going to be the last time I can go to these local places, it's the end of an era! Thank god my local pub has a little outside area, unfortunately I don't think it's managed that well and will not be made use of effectively but there you go, at least I can still frequent there and it must have one of the biggest smoking client an tell!

Anyway I am rambling, have a good day folks!

The body of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin is to lie in state in Moscow ahead of a funeral on Wednesday - RIP
