Holiday, Conor’s Birthday and Spanish Turkeys.

It was Conor’s fifth Birthday yesterday but as both Suzanne and I were working, he got to open a few of his toys on the morning (including Spiderman 2 Lego) and then he was taken to the Cinema by Mel (Suzanne’s Mate) and one his girlfriends Aimee (Mel’s Daughter) to see the Garfield movie and after that off to McDonalds. We hadn’t give him all his presents on the morning as we wanted to save some from when we returned from work, but he fell asleep on the way back from Mel’s and slept until this morning, so he got most of his presents (including Super Optimus-Prime), a day late. Obviously the does not include the presents he got early like half a Gameboy Advance (which he shares with his dad) and a trip to Legoland (including Lego and Lego toys).

I’m off to the match tonight. Yes it’s that just before the season starts so it’s the “Boro V Some Spanish Turkeys” match. The only Friendly Match at the Riverside of the year (probably), I hope it isn’t rubbish and we score loads.

I have plans to put up the pictures from the Ireland and Legoland Trips in the Gallery, add few features to the site (comments for each blog entry and maybe picture) a CSS redesign, I’ve got some stories to added to Broken Inglish and I’m also considering the future of Konnie Huq’s pages.

Back from Holidays

I'm back from my holidays now… We had a week and a bit in Ireland taking in a wedding, and then we also had a few days in London to go and visit Legoland. I'll upload a few pictures for the gallery soon.

Please excuse the last update as it was done via a crappy Internet box in Belfast airport.

London Turkey

Oh, I forget to update about London, Me and the wife both had a nice time, it was just nice to spend time together doing what we want for a change. We went to Bombay Dreams at the London Apollo, it was very good I would highly recommended that you go see it.

Week off

Yeah, I've got a week of work and nothing to do, (except fix the car and do the garden, etc) so I'm going to use a bit of this time to get all the various sites updated.

Weekend Away

I'm back, and we had a nice time. I'll update you all in more details in a bit.

Back from a short break.

Well we got back tonight and Jamie did notice I was suspended on his forum and fixed it with 2 hours to spare, Wahoo!

A short family holiday

We are on holiday from Monday, We are going to be getting on a plane and flying over to Ireland for a couple of Days.

You think by then Jamie will have noticed I'm suspended on his forum?

Away, Away. It’s a holi-holiday.

Again I know I haven’t updated for ages, so I bring you up to date with
all the happenings you have missed.

Last month was probably the most successfully in this site history probably down
to the posting of the pictures from the Staff Night at Tall Trees, and I intending
on building on this with number of additions and changes.

Congratulations is due to Dave and Deborah who have had a little baby boy, have
decided to call him Spencer instead of the bookie favorite name Longford Stern.

Another Interesting fact, my gallery page has top listing on goggle for some popular
Web searches including `Newcastle night out` and `Rotterdam stag

If you were following my Ebay auction, you see I sold all of my items at pretty
good prices. So I’ve splashed out a replaced the sold XP2100+ processor
with a new XP2800+, replaced the CD-R/W and DWD drive with a single Sony Combo
Drive which of course if much quicker 48x24x48x16 and while I was there I thought
I splash out on a work floppy drive and a few case fans.

I order on Saturday, paying for next day delivery for delivery Tuesday (as this
was the only day the wife was off), I was told on Tuesday that the Part haven’t
been sent I would delivered Wednesday, so I release the wife from house arrest
and a short period after she left the a delivery attempt was, so it was off
the Local delivery depot to find there were just attempting delivery of just
the processor (without heat sink and fan), nothing was delivered Wednesday.
On Thursdays they attempted to delivery but of course no one was in, so after
picking Suzanne up from work we rush to Local delivery depot so we can wait
thirty minutes for the last driver to return will my missing bits.

When I got my PC rebuilt and give it a test I did get a big shock. A Gay Porn
shock, when the PC was booted up it started to display pictures of man have
sex with each other, which wasn’t very nice (not my cup of tea). It appeared
a file I had downloaded from emule had infected me with a rather homosexual
virus. A few file deletions and a little regedit and it was gone, but not before
it had rename two of my hard drives “Gaylove” and “Gaysex”,
it also renamed Internet explorers title to “!!! Gaysex is great !!!”
Which of course may be true, but I don’t want Internet Explorer to tell
the wife and son.

I’m away on Holiday from Sunday (please don’t try and rob my house),
when I return a may post about my new two month fight with my NTL web space.
