Well my holidays are well and truly over, as I returned to the working world today. The holidays where good, even if I didn’t get everything done that I wanted to do. My Mother and Sister were visiting Middlesbrough during this time, so I spent a far bit of time visiting them.

During Easter we usual try and get Conor as few chocolate eggs as possible, so we buy him a little present instead. This year he got ‘Wii Play’ with a Wii remote, so we can two play games (like Wii Sports) together, and with the money he got from relatives over Easter he bought himself Classic Controller so he can play his Virtual console games. Pokémon Snap is a favourite of his, as he is quitebizarrely still Pokémon mad.

Oh, I gave myself a big of a treat over Easter too, Ebay give me one of the those vouchers of my next purchased. So I bought this;

For the less geeky of you, it’s a ‘Transformers Animated Starscream’ which quite a difficult figure to get hold of (I don’t even think they are out in the US yet) and thanks to the Ebay vouchers, I got it a very reasonable price (about 13 quids).

Finally I’m still working on the new design for the blog, which I’m pleased with so far and it should be ready quite(!) shortly.

Well Hello, just a quick update while I’m in the mood.

My Holidays are almost over, It’s back to work on Monday and I’ve not caught up with all the things I wanted to do while I was off (surprise, surprise) but I did get the C64Glen show episode #5 finished, and launched the new version of ObscureInternet which is no mean feat.

One of the jobs I didn’t get to was to make reasonable progress on the new blog design, oh well, I’m sure you can await.

I got an interest message on my facebook wall, this would have bothered me in the past as I was a bit obsessed with trying making everyone love me (which was obviously a totally lost cause), but no I’m just amused. I’ve offended someone on theInternet.

Anyway I’ve always hate people who say ‘Get a life’ because it usually used by comment trolls on YouTube (who surprisingly haven’t posted any videos) and it means nothing other than ‘Try and make better use of your time’. Thanks for the information, I’ll enrol in a time management course straight away.

It's finally here!

I’ve missed some good opportunities to blog over the past few weeks. I regret this, mostly because I can’t remember what I was going to blog about.

Anyway, I would probably have blogged about the Football, as since the last update I was at the Middlesbrough home FA cup games against Sheff Utd and Cardiff, as you probably are aware. Boro blew away the best chance they’ve ever had of winning the FA Cup being performing against Cardiff like a bunch of dead haddocks. This was with out doubt the most disgusting, disappointing, and embarrassing game of football I’ve ever seen.I suppose the only bright point was the Cardiff fan, who sang a number ofhumourous chats during the game, mostly anti-English and pro-bestiality.

I’ve also fix the comments RSS feed (again) it was breaking when because if could not handle the way some comments had paragraphs or double spaces, I’ve made it a little less sensitive about such things.

Finally, the main news is it is near the end of the year at work, and I’ve got a load of holidays left. Since I’m not allowed to carry them over to next year or sell them, as of tomorrow I’m on holiday until the end of the month. I plan on catching up on few jobs I’ve got behind in, the garden, the c64glen show #5 and the new designs for ObscureInternet and this blog.
