So yesterday i said goodbye to my 22nd (and probably worst) year and hello to my 23rd, and i realised something, new years day isn't the 1st of january, it is the start of your own new year. Mine started with a lie in. It continued with some rubbish presents to see in this new year, an average meal in some italian down near the pantiles in ( Read more... )

I don't quite get what is up with these big companies like MPAA, RIAA, FACT (federation against copyright theft) and others. There is a viable alternative to a distribution method and they aren't using it. RIAA reluctantly aggreed to a 99p per track charge, but MPAA and others aint going for the £5 per film offer for online distribution. And they ( Read more... )

I had a weird thought yesterday. While brushing my teeth i realised just how tough a farmer's job must be. Not one of them arable farmers who get away with planting stuff all day. The ones who have to watch animals get born and grow up and stuff, and decide which animals die young, which die old and which become the mothers/fathers of the future ( Read more... )

I got a letter from my uni today giving me a run down of all my results over the 3 years i went there. Now seeing as i was pretty miserable when i got the results last year, it was no surprise that this letter today made me feel worse. Not even the knowledge that i passed every single test, coursework, exam and whatever else (my lowest pass was 48 ( Read more... )

This week has been a bit rubbish. I was going to do loads, like do some driving, but tuesday put me off. I was taking my mum to work very early, driving down some coutry roads when i got my wing mirror clippied and my mirror cracked badly. I'm not sure whose fault it was, but it just put me into a rubbish mood for these few days. I shall try and do ( Read more... )

Just been driving on the M25, probably for the first time with my dad in tow (not literally, he was actually sat next to me), but he didn't look nervous at all which was nice. He did occasioanally move his foot as if to brake but i find myself almost doing that when im in the car with him anyway. It's funny when you know how to drive properly and ( Read more... )

1. How difficult can it be to keep 6 fish alive for my brother? Surely not very. Then why is it that in the last 3 days 2 have died? There has been nothing i can do, they just seem to either have committed suicide by destroying their tails on the plants or the other fish have killed them or something, which isn't as likely because i've been ( Read more... )

Just listening to this years eurovision contestants on uknr. So far highlights include germany with some texan country music thing and some half-decent music from other coutries. Low lights? Obviously dan sampson's english entry, but then you have iceland with "congratulations" which obviously isn't heartfelt because it sounds shite, then you have ( Read more... )

Aint it funny what you notice when shopping. I went to m&s yesterday to get something for dinner, and for some reason couldn't take my eyes off the people in front when i was queueing. Then when the customer was handing over the cash the cashier had to call over the manager because the customer was sure she had given £40 to the cashier. I had ( Read more... )

I saw Mission Impossble 3 yesterday. Now maybe im missing the point in the film, but i just found it annoying how tom cruise centric it was. Sure, the bad guy put in a good performance but his character could have really been fleshed out more. Instead we get fobbed off with the news that he has managed to stay hidden for so long. The whole film ( Read more... )
