Belfast, N.I., United Kingdom
I first got on the net over 15 (2009) years ago and have had my own site for at least 7 (2009) of those years (a place where I could dump the misery of my everyday life!), you can see my fist efforts @ www.freewebs.com/gad123 and my current blog @ www.gad123.co.uk . I am a kind person, smart, (I know that is subjective) and witty, the dry, sarcastic type! I am told that I am easy to talk to and am very laid back. I enjoy playing poker, listening to any music, watching movies & American TV shows, love going to the pub, dancing on a Saturday night and am a bit of a nerd as I own a Wii, PS3 and built my own PC! I am a creature of routine, love the night time when all the exciting things happen, am a bit of an insomniac and love getting trashed at the weekends! If you want, you can catch me on MSN @ graham@gad123.co.uk! Take care and enjoy you browse around this GAD123 Page!

Lost Perversions in Cars...

Here we go again, I post anything to do with sex, in this case the Imogen tape that has surfaced and I get a stack of hits and e mails. You are all perverts and I guess that makes me one too! I suppose this time I could forgive you all as it is just an extension of Big brother and the voyeuristic streak in all of us, though... It's funny that the internet has become so many peoples porn kick and equally amusing that only a few years ago that cinema was the only outlet and source of such things! I have posted before about what all this could be doing to society and time will, I assume, tell.

It's Tuesday, my car is at the garage, getting serviced - I will report back tomorrow how that went but I expect then to try and rip me off - tyres, breaks, etc. That's £300+ notes dead but at least it is out of the way for another year!

It's not often that I go begging... As anyone who is on MySpace will know, it's mad the lengths that people will goto, to get attention, asking for comments on pics, etc all the time, it's dam right annoying and I delete serial bulletin posters! Today is different though, today it would be nice, if you do come here regularly, to leave a comment of some sort. With stat's I know that there are the lerkers who keep coming back for more but I don't know who you are, if you have your own blog, nothing. So make me happy and make your experience that little bit better by saying "Hello, I read your blog"! Work, work, work *sigh* I will not discuss it here but understand that it's a fairly major deal for me at the mo, consuming my daily life, thoughts and generally weighing me down. Lets all hope that the resolution I want, is the conclusion I get!

Seen the final Lost of season 2 last night, as usual not much information given in the way of simple answers but thoroughly enjoyable none the less. Have more questions and will be hooked on season 3 I guess! Well that's you lot today folks, have a lovely day, I am off to continue with some research!

I am just looking forward to chilling out tonight and then hopefully Dimples will facilitate some very welcome fun on Saturday! What a week! Have a good one guys!

Big Brother and Miss Wales Imogen Thomas Sex Tape...

So a video of Imogen Thomas of Big Brother UK fame has emerged *sigh*

Imogen Thomas Sex Tape

Lost in the Sky...

Over the weekend I tried to set up SKY's broadband movie download service, what a shambles! First you need Windows Media Player 10, I have 11! So rolled it back and then had problems with the DRM (digital rights management) folder! Still can't get it to work, have tried all the fixes and to top it off now I am having problems playing DVD's! I also read this today, sort out your current sh*t first SKY, that's my advice! All very frustrating. Anyway staying with the movie theme do you all know you can watch the first 24 minutes of A Scanner Darkly online, free? Well you can, just by clicking here. It looks like a cool flick, totally me, through and through!

Lost was amazing last night, the last eps is next Monday and I want it to arrive NOW, hmmm on second thoughts I don't as then it's finished until season 3! Must say it's set the finale up perfectly. Staying with TV, I have no interest in Love Island but the arrival or Steve-O is sure to stir things up so if anyone watches, keep me posted on his sananagans!

I am so tired today, trying to turn my life around after sleeping all day and staying up all night is tough. So sorry if it's a bit rambley today. Hating this weather too, hate the summer anyway but this heat and sun is taking the p*ss. I can't understand why you lot are complaining tho, you prayed for a good summer!! 1 last thing, I am going to try and free up some time to look at secondlife.com, with MySpace now being more popular than Google and Yahoo, big companies and their agencies are struggling to understand the implications of social media mixed with online entertainment. A part from that I hear people are making a good living selling virtual flowers there!

Guess Who Is Back...

Hey folks, ya miss me? Nah thought not! I had a lovely holiday, well it was more like an extended weekend, full of drink, merriment and going to bed at the same time I got up this morning! Now it's back to the old grind stone, trying to eek out a living from within these office walls and for what, a fistful of dollars to purchase things in an attempt to lift my mood and forget about working in this box. A circle, not quite vicious, maybe more of a soulless circle. Yes, before you say anything I am down but remember I have been off for a week and it's Monday! *sigh* Normal service will resume tomorrow!

Free Swimming on USA Day...

I had a fantastic weekend, drinking, eating lovely food, the little break in the country, walking the Ulster Way, playing Crazy Golf, buying a new fish (called him Kanya), watching the football (Why is Rooney not getting more stick for being sent off and reacting like a twat?!), watching the F1 race (go on Shu) and generally having fun. You can check out some pics here, as I finally updated my MoBlog!

SKY TV called me yesterday - they always do at this time of the year as there is no football fixtures - offering me the movies and sports, the whole deal for an extra £10 a month for 3 months. Sounds great and every year I take it but it's only after that I realise, I never watch sports, I have seen all the movies and the ones I have not see I never find the time to watch! Well done SKY, you got me again!

I watched a great program on channel 4 last night, I can't understand why it was given a late night slot when it's target audience is probably teenagers and kids, it was also very entertaining, interesting and deserved a better time.

Channel 4 produced a program about this before, that one was shown maybe 3 years ago and I had heard of it before that. You may never have known it existed but I bet you have tried it! It's called Parkour or free running, that is, moving through the urban jungle your own unique way, fluid, like water if you will. It's all very spiritual but at base level it's jumping roof to roof, fence to fence, pillar to post by some very fit, skilled men (weirdly no women featured in the shows, well possibly 1 or 2, maybe their boobs get in the way) with huge balls! The BBC have a great page about it, with pics, video and history, click here to have a look!

To finish off today it's STAT WHORE TIME again:

January 2006 - 4985
February 2006 - 5398
March 2006 - 11100
April 2006 - 12965

Dyslexic Poems...

I have written about it before, I am dyslexic and in real terms it makes it tough when writing anything i.e. posting here. My spelling is rubbish and so is my grammar and working in advertising, putting together ad's I know it's nearly impossible to proof on screen ergo that is why things don't often read that well here or as they are supposed to. Anyway with that in mind (excuses made, lol) I started to write a poem for Dimples, I have no idea of structure, rhyming couplets and all that jazz though! This is what I have completed so far, it's crap and I know it, so you don't have to tell me but it is a little amusing:

Short and Sweet...

Short and sweet,
I said, she had fat feet,
It's my mistake,
I was wrong.

We met on the net,
You and I,
I was not prepared for what came next,
Per chance to make a nest.

Slowly, slowly,
We make our way,
Towards that big day,
'If' is what I will say.

I must also say that I download WWE Vengeance 2006 to watch at the weekend, along with ECW One Night Stand 2006 and while on the subject of the weekend I booked a suite at a local hotel in the country for Dimples and I on Saturday, just to get our heads showered! Played poker last night down at the Fortune Rooms (Pic to the left), 46 players and I came 22, was ok. Went all in with AA (average stack so not under pressure to do so) and was beat with pocket 8's when the turn gave him trips! Ah well. Have a good day folks!

Just Tweaking Plan B...

Oh what a gay old day. On Monday night I did some PC tweaking, just speeding up the opening of files, clearing out the bird dropping left by old programs in the registry and the like. It was a bit of a nerdy evening. I also updated my PSP Firmware to 2.71, messed about with the RSS feeds, download some demos and that. This all inspired the tech news bit that follows!

I like trying to make this site work well with the search engines, I have went through this in detail before but goal one was getting through all the sandbox issues, etc and now it's surviving the Google, Live, etc search engine updates. When I look at the stats for here, I particularly like the keywords section. Some of the words that link here and that people search on are dam scary! Anyway yesterday I seen this and it made me smile. My little blog must rank well and I must be doing the correct things, see the pic below, 2nd out of nearly 1 million (I am now first!) WoW!:

Male Rape Supports Developed World Economy…

Today I decided to make a respectable post, no space filling, just something witty and informative, probably. I want to highlight to every man that ever has and ever will live on this planet of ours, something that you must be made aware of, something that has probably happened many times without you realising it. It's a subject area I am sure we all have encountered but never talk about and one that we never recognise, until it’s to late. The following is a true account of what happened to me on Saturday and I intend never for it to happen to me again, hopefully.

Dimples and I wanted to get something nice for dinner on Saturday, I could not face some random McJunk food or carryout Chinese and had more than a little craving for Cesar Salad from Marks & Spencer’s. So that's where we went but instead of just picking up some salad I found myself at the checkout, with an empty basket, a mound of bags in front of me filled with items like pink Champaign, entering my PIN and without memory of what had just transpired!

How do women do this, I am neither dumb nor uninvolved but I had just been hood winked, surely? Did I really just spend that much on dinner?! It would have been cheaper to fly to Toronto and eat in the revolving restaurant at the top of the CN Tower!

Now that was only the start, because before I fully understood what had actually happened I was standing at another till, this time in a shoe shop (I know what you are going to say but I was not thinking straight after the M & S incident, caught off guard and did not have the wits to stand outside looking bored and uninvolved like the other men), handing over cash for a “cute pair of red satin pumps”! Huh??! The only real memory I have was Dimples saying she wanted to ‘have a look’ at the shoes. Surely there was no harm in looking??! Now I don’t know about you but I enjoy looking at stuff, gadgets, PC anything electrical really but that means, have a look, in literal terms. I commit to memory what is available, what is current and up coming so that, if the occasion arrives and I need or want one of these products, I will be well informed. Apparently to girls / women / ladies ‘looking’ actually means ‘your buying’ and it’s only taken me 31 years to realise this!

Upon leaving said shop I felt uneasy, dirty, violated, raped if you will. How did this happen, do women have one of those pen like devises from Men in Black to erase memories? Is it a case of X-Men mind control powers? Maybe it’s more sinister and the shops are in on the scam too, all smoke and mirrors! Whatever, I am determined to get to the bottom of this, can you help or is there a women ready to talk, naturally in confidence, about how the deception is preformed?

Now obviously I get something in return for this apparent kindness on my part but somehow an hour’s peace to play poker does not seem worth it!

I never really understood why gangs of men are to be found outside woman’s shops, I always like to take an interest in these things and Dimples, being a modern man but now I know how silly I have been. Men beware, women are dangerous, calculating shoppers and my advice is always, ALWAYS forget your wallet when you venture near a shopping centre, wife, GF, lover in tow! The word needs spread men and maybe a self-help group could be formed for those of us, like myself who have gone too far down the path, placing your entire wages in the control of your partner!

TODAY'S MINI REVIEW :: Harsh, difficult, gritty, catchy, intelligent, witty and highly enjoyable. Check out Plan B - Who Needs Actions When You Got Words. The CD arrived on Saturday and has been on repeat ever since.

Glastonbury Celebrations, in a Tent and that...

Been up to my eyes, ergo, to busy to post. Had a lovely weekend, X-Men on Friday night (very good flick) and drinking, started early on the Cider (Weston's Organic and the like) and watched the match on Saturday, while Dimples caught up on some marking. Passed out a 9pm after a mini pub crawl and dinner at Wolseys. Sun, guess what, yip on the drink again and a poker tournament, in which I managed to come 5th and in the money. It was a good showing but all down to being drunk and the bravado spilling over! There was no Wednesday night game to take the momentum and carry it through unfortunately but it worked out ok because I played in my toughest tourney yet, at a local casino, The Fortune Rooms (I never knew it excisted)! The game was a £25 freeze out and lasted late in to the night. The last hand I had was AQ against K9, I should have won it but was busted out by a pair of 9's, a well. Anyway, the guys from the Wednesday night game had a good showing, 6th, 5th, 3rd and 2nd! I always knew Kayeso's home game was of a good standard! Oh, I came 2nd by the way (had a great chance at winning as chips where 50/50 when I busted out), netting me £175!

Have another interesting weekend coming up. It's that time of the year when I celebrate Glastonbury! Yes I know there is no festival this year but I am off to a friends, as I have done for the past 9 years, making this my 10th, to camp out, eat space cakes, get drunk and talk rubbish until the sun comes up! It's just great and I get to catch up with all the people I have not seen for the last year. Dimples is coming too, hope she does not find it all to weird and childish! lol The weather is not that great but I love being in a tent when it's raining!

Glasto Weather 

Lets see, what else have I been at, bought a cool fan, watching the World Cup, moved my PC because it was over heating in this weather, bought War of the Worlds DVD because it was cheap, listened / watched Podcasts (Adam and Joe one is just like the TV show, very funny), played poker, worked, blah, blah, blah, you get the idea.

Have a good weekend folks and make sure you all download the Windows XP update as it's a biggy and fixes some major security flaws.
