Weddings

January 21st, 2008

I actually have an excuse for not posting. Ive been busy. More busy then normal busy. I, along with Jade and our parents, have been planning our wedding.

March 7th 2009 is the date, and I think we have found a venue, but keeping that quiet. We have decided on our best men, and our bridesmaid.

Its all very fun, strange but fun. I never imagined to beliving with my fiance and her son and then getting married so soon, but its all good!

And we are back.

January 3rd, 2008

Have had to switch host, due to money reasons… so have taken some time to switch over the site, also went back to the theme I had at blogscene, because I like it, still fiddling, but there are a couple of psots from before xmas which you probably havent read, due to me writing them, then taking the site down…

Happy new year!

Weird Spam

December 27th, 2007

I had a spam comment, saying hey, hows your dad - then said their address, and it was right - weird - and worrying. Came from someone with an email addresses at an insurance website :S

Possible they got it off nominet?

And a merry christmas it was.

December 27th, 2007

Another long time without a post, infact depending on if I get round to sorting it, this will all disapear soon, as I cant afford the renewal next week. Ive been offered some cheaper hosting, but not even sure I can afford that!

And the reason for that? Well as of christmas day, Im officially engaged to my partner, Jade, which means I have a wedding to sort out, or at least be told what to do for ;)

I got a lot of other cool presents, including a brand new digi camera, and a weekend away paid for with Jade and James which is pretty damn cool.

Jades sister also got engaged on xmas eve, so congratulations to her.

Christmas day was very enjoyable, spending it at both our parents, however on boxing day, xmas day night, we were all ill, very ill so we havent even touched xmas food, infact none of us even ate yesterday!

Anyways, I hope you and yours all had a good xmas!

Dave the Hen

November 30th, 2007

Dave came home from the pub late one Friday evening stinking drunk, as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.

When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white Robe.

‘Who the hell are you?’ demanded Dave, ‘and what are you doing in my bedroom?’

The mysterious man answered ‘This isn’t your bedroom and I’m St Peter.’

Dave was stunned ‘You mean I’m dead!?!! That can’t be, I have so much to live for, I haven’t said goodbye to my family. . . you’ve got to send me back straight away.’

St Peter replied ‘Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen.’

Dave was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A flash of light later he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking the ground.

‘This ain’t so bad’ he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.

The farmyard rooster strolled over and said ‘So you’re the new hen, how are you enjoying your first day here?’

‘It’s not so bad’ replies Dave, ‘but I have this strange feeling inside like I’m about to explode.’

‘You’re ovulating’ explained the rooster, ‘don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before?’

‘Never!’ replies Dave.

‘Well just relax and let it happen’

So he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him . . . Ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting…
‘Dave, wake up you drunken b#astard, you’ve sh * t the bed.

Monday Night update

November 19th, 2007

Im going to try and post an update most mondays and try and keep the personal stuff here. I am trying to post more, honest.

The weeks are seeming to go so fast now, and the house is getting more and more lived in, thats a good thing, we are buying bits and bobs and its starting to feel like ours now.

Last Monday I had to take my car back to Wolverhampton, it was making a squeaking noise when placed in reverse. I hate Wolverhampton.

Its a place where the roads make no sense, its got some dodgy areas (esp where the seat dealership is) and Ive never managed to find the town center.

Anyways, I got a courtesy car, which cost me £15 on insurance, and an extra tenner of petrol. Not happy, especially when they said nothing is wrong with it.

I like my seat, its comfortable, it shifts when you need it too - but its a shame its not a bit bigger, but taking that Im moving up from a smart roadster, it couldnt be smaller then my last car!

Didnt really do a lot else, merry hill on sunday for xmas, Jade is getting me organised, we have nearly done all our xmas shopping, well she has, I m going to spend a day at merry hill and just get it all. No messin, but apparently xmas eve is too late…

Had some friends of my m&ds around with them on Saturday, nice to seem them - long term family friends type people - I love showing off my house and family now.

James was up all last night, and Im so tired now, he wont go to bed now either, which is annoying as he is tired.

Right, Im off to watch Dragons Den, ttfn.

November 12th, 2007

A little page on the microsoft website hides a very useful tool.

The XP Powertoys are a group of added and unsupported extras from MS for the OS, there are a range of them and Ill list them below - but the one I always install on any system Im using as a main system is the image resizer, all you have to do is right click on one or multiple images and select resize, and the powertoy will resize there and then. Find out more here

The rest of them include:

Color Control Panel Applet

Professional-level photographers and designers know that getting consistent, accurate color from file to screen to print and beyond is a requirement for great results. This new tool helps you manage Windows color settings in one place. Download or learn more.
