Ok so most of us here are fans of Apples ipod and most of us have one. And we all enjoyed many good times with our ipods on lonely winter nights. The world was a better place with them. They gave us back the will to live.
But lately Im more than a little pissed at mine.
1. My ipod is consistanly dying and I have to keep upgrading system software. Its wank
2. DRM is a fucking bitch. it means music I buy and have rights to, i can only play on my fucking ipod. Bollocks if I buy a Cd i can play that shit where i like, why does this have to be different? I want to stream my music to my xbox but half of it dont show up cos its drm'ed. btw there are ways around this cos its not apple that put the drm on its itunes and you can now download direct from apple using other software and avoid the drm. doesnt solve my existing music though.
3. itunes is wank. fucking java stinks. eats up all resources on my pc. Fuck off java you tossers.
4. volume is piss poor on ipod. I want it fucking louder!!!!!
Good news is microsoft are at last releasing what they are callign death of the ipod.
The new player called Zune will include massive colour screen, wi-fi, bluetooth, 30 GB, connectivity to xbox live to play games, xbox, no drm and looks to die for and will be cheaper than ipod. Hooray for MS.
strange video but you can sign up for newletter now
www.comingzune.com
Im getting one, then putting 5 10" masonary nails through mine and im going to enjoy it immensely as my ipod makes that stupid "I'm broken again" face and then dies.
As for Apple, curl up and die like you should have done 10 years ago.

Does anyone else spend ages on this or is it just me?

In the spirit of Tosh here are a few to look at!
Modern Toss 1

4 Days to many
Only been at work one day and already i want it to be the weekend again. Even with the bonus of a Bank Holiday yesterday the week seems to long already. I think everyone should work a three day week and have four days off. or maybe just do a job you like would be the solution, but i am yet to find someone who is willing to pay me to doss around all day, unlike the Barrett Brothers ;)
Morning!
Hello everyone!
How was everyone’s weekend? Did you make the most of having an extra day off?
I didn’t do much, I just went to Bristol on Sunday to IKEA and Cribbs for something to do…as usual spent lots of money on stuff I didn’t really need but looks nice. Other than that just went for a few drinks and a curry on Saturday night.
One week left here before the start of another academic year and enrolment, I’m dreading it already, we are starting to get busy now and I’m not looking forward to it!
Is the blog going to be quiet without Tosh this week?

My Feet Hurt!!
I must have been drunk!! I just jogged from Gloucester Centre to my house in Highnam. Started jogging at 2.30 and got back 20 mins ago. I went the wrong way and ran out to cattle market then back across it past tesco and then along the by pass to highnam. At least I have ran the majority of the alcohol away. Now I am going to pass out !!!!

a Riddle
"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

its a blinder - well kinda - ok its not
A newly married couple arrive back at their bridal suite after their wedding celebrations. They begin to get intimate with each other until the bride pulled away slightly.
“I have a secret, which I must tell you before we go any further. I am not a virgin. I once had a brief fling with Tiger Woods”
The guy raises his eyebrows, but allays his new bride’s fears by saying, “That’s ok darling, we all have a past. It’s our future that is more important.” With this the couple embrace and make passionate love all over the bridal suite, screaming the place down as they reach their peak. Exhausted, but very pleased with his performance, the groom gets up and pads over to the telephone and picks it up.
“What are you doing?” she asks.
“Calling room service, I’m a bit peckish now.”
“Tiger didn’t do that.”
“Oh? What did Tiger do?”
“He came back to bed and made love to me a second time.”
With that, the groom put down the phone and joined his wife back in the bed and put in another sterling performance. A little while afterwards, he got up and walked over to the phone and picked it up.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Well, I’m still peckish, so I was going to call Room Service.”
“Tiger didn’t do that.”
“Really? What did Tiger do?”
“He came back to bed and made love to me for a third time.”
So the groom replaced the handset and rejoined his new wife in the bed and put in another excellent shift. A little while afterwards, he again went to the phone and picked it up.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m starving now love, I was going to call room service for a bit of nosh.”
“Tiger didn’t do that”
“No? What did Tiger do?”
“He came back to bed and made love to me for a fourth time.”
A bit weary now, the groom put down the phone. He was so eager to please his new wife that he rejoined her in bed and put in a bit of quality overtime. A short time afterwards, the groom got out of bed, walked over to the phone and picked it up.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m calling Tiger Woods to find out what the bloody par is on this hole!”
“I have a secret, which I must tell you before we go any further. I am not a virgin. I once had a brief fling with Tiger Woods”

Hello!
Hello guys!!!
Am trying to write up my blog entry sneakily since my boss is here sat next to me. Thank god for flat screens and Word…I am working, honest! It is taking ages tho…plus I want to read through the other blogs and check all my Hotmail emails!
Well as you can see I’m back from my hols! I’m only looking brown because I have applied lots of fake tan, I certainly didn’t have very good weather for most of the week!
Still, I managed to go to North Devon for a couple of days where I went to the beach – I didn’t go in the sea and spent most of the time huddled under my towel to keep warm! Went to play golf one day, thought it was going to be crazy golf but it was 9 rounds of normal golf. I’ve never played golf before so my score at the end was +28!! Even the 10 year olds I went with did better! Also had a bbq and general mooch around up there.
Came home and went up to see my mum in her new crepe van at the forest outside of Exeter, it was lovely and sunny and I got to have a free egg and baked bean crepe, YUM! She doesn’t live in it before you say anything, it’s her work van!!
Then I spent a couple of days chilling out back at home. Have that Monday feeling x1000000 today! I really wish I was still in bed, I think I’m still in shock at having to get up so early today!!
Now I have got to make up some points on the quiz…ok start today!! Will check the Fantasy Footie later, didn’t see all the matches this weekend so no idea how I did!

Friday night i cooked dinner form yvette louise and then finally when my mum and Jim came at 10 i cooked for them. we sat up for a bit and chatted then we all went to bed.
Saturday i got up and went down to see bristol city V Blackpool with J and the Barrett boys (dad and mike and of course Russ) the game was poor - but did see 6 goals - unfortunealtey 4 were for blackpool. Hearts also lost too and liverpool drew with Sheffield Utd which made up a wank day for footy for me.
Saturday night the family wathed the sentinal (coming to cinemas near you soon) we watched US DVD - so no dodgy copy. it was very good - usual storyline - guy gets framed, best friend tries to capture/clear his
name but was good, michael douglas and jack bauer were in it.
Sunday played in our leagues version of community sheild, at bishops cleeves ground. Was hard work fitness or lack of was apparent, but a 1st half goal from drew set up by J and an own goal in the 2nd half secured the sheild for us for the season yet again. feeling the effects today - 1st 90mins since about 5 months ago. i was knackered. but we won and thats the main thing, my bor and wife came to watch too so had all the family there :D
last night after everyone left yvette and i watched 3 episodes of the F-word and went to bed - all caught up with it now :D poor pigs.

Lampard
Well done Frankie for the goal, even if it was helped with a deflection.
Confirming he is indeed one in a million, or at least his goal to shot average is!!

Test Your Battery Jay
Jay go here Exploding Batteries and make sure you don't have one.
I found one at work but they will not let me leave it in the machine to watch it explode. There are only 1m in the EMEA area so since that is Europe, the Middle East and Asia chances are slim that you will have one.

My weekend
Friday I went out with work, a guys leaving do - actually the guy whoose job I am basically having. We started off at out Chief operating officers house for a BBQ which was nice. Then we went to Copa (JD peppers in old Skool money) and then onto blush.
I didnt get much sleep and because poor Yvette got up for work i got up early too. So i was therefore still wasted! Drew picked me up with James to go into what i thoguht was going to be town - but he wasnt going towards town "where for art thou we going driver" i said to Drew- "bristol" was the reply. hahaha i said and still jabbered to myself in a pissed up stuper. But we went towards TGI fridays i said i need to meet yvette at 1:30, drew said "we wont be back in time" so i said "no really where are we going?" "Bristol - Cribbs" was again the reply "oh" i said. Better ring Yvette then to tell her.
So we went to cribbs everyone bought something apart from me. but it was a good laugh.
Got home and made tea for yvette and i then we went to residence meet everyone as it was Annies birthday - Jonno was there too so was going to be a cracking night - except yvette and i wernt staying out for very long as she had work again yesterday (doing 22 days in a row :( ) so we went home. and everyone else got battered.
sunday watched the footy and then went to james for tea with J Yvette and my sis. was very delightful.
today i am in a shirt and trousers as i am going to a meeting to find out what my new job will entail.
not actaully sure why i told you all this- the only person that didnt know what we did up until yesterday was Amy and she is away all week. pointless really then. waste of time.

BA has cancelled all flights to America
BA announced "I aint getting on no god damn plane you crazy fool"
Morning!
At last it's Friday!
I've had a couple of stress free days in the office thanks to the boss being away and i've got next week off. I'm not going abroad (shame), i'm just going to spend a few days in North Devon and then catch up with my folks and my mates! Oh and have some lie ins, i've not had a break from work for 4 months so I need it!
Of course I won't be blogging next week since i'm so behind the times (or poor) I don't have a computer at home, so that also means I won't be able to do the quiz, typical since I'm doing ok so far! Oh well, there's always next month.
Hope you all have a fab couple of weekends and week and i'll be back to report on my holiday on the 21st!
Bye xxx

Free Broadband
Well since i changed my phone package with Orange i get free Broadband for life with it, only problem being i live to far away from the exchange to get decent connection speed, only up to 512kbs. It is free though so it will let me get emails and look on the interweb when at home, will see how much lag i get when i connect the Xbox, not to fussed about speed as it is free and to get a good connection at the house i would have to use an infer-red line of sight to the local business park which would cost £30 a month, bugger that free Orange Livebox thanks, slow but free.
Did i say it was free at all? :)

Change of Plans in Canada
OK So my Sister got tired of being worked like a slave and getting stabbed in the back by the rench manager. So she quit, Drew and I will not be going to Elkin Ranch, but instead should be going to a Ranch called Dreamscape, it is where she spent her first winter in Canada. She says its the same deal there's chainsaws, tractors, horses etc etc, but it is closer to where she lives only a 2.5 hors drive from Hope not a 8hr drive like Elkin Creek. Also it means that Drew and I should have more time explore and stuff, also give us a better chance of getting a photo at the bridge from Rambo. Oh there is also a drop zone near by in Kamloops, so we may even get to go Skydiving with her boyfriend Mark the Paramedic.
This Sat
Who's going to be out on Sat night for Annies b'day?
I'll be up - and I'll hopefully get the chance to belatedly party with Ben and Drew.

Archie nods approvingly.
"Heavens, I've even bought a kilt to be married in!" continues Jock.
"A kilt?" exclaims Archie, "That's braw, you'll look pure smart in that!
"And what's the tartan?" Archie then enquires.
"Och," says Jock, "I'd imagine she'll be in white..."

ca va?
went to see Miami vice on Friday with James and Ben and j,- got one of the unlimited passes too :D Film was ok - entertaining, lots of beautiful people, fast cars/boats/planes, violent but storyline was weak.
then went to Q's for a drink, Ben and J then went to Moda, seeing as tho I wasn't pissed like a fart (what does that REALLY mean!) I (and James) decided to head off to our respective homes. I stayed up until Yvette came in, she was out with the girls.
Saturday I took my car to get MOT and bought a pair of Oakleys as legends is closing in chelts- someone bought them out and closing it down! barstewards!
Saturday night I cooked dinner for Yvette (1st time for everything) and then watched King Kong. Yvette liked it (I had seen it before)
Sunday Ben came over and we watched the sopranos Sharpe had a lovely roast cooked by Yvette and the best bit - we watched Hearts beat Celtic :D
and back to work this morning - almost in a crash, some young prick decided not to stop at the mini roundabout at park campus and decided to keep going - luckily my cat like reflexes made me stop and then my anger reflexes made me shout abuse at the petrified wanker.

DADDY! HOW WAS I BORN?"
"DADDY! HOW WAS I BORN?" Junior asks his dad,
His dad, who is a software engineer sighs and replies,
"Ah, my son, I guess one day you would have to find out anyway!"
"Well, I saw your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on
MSN. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a
Cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother
Agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to
Upload, we discovered that neither
One of us had used a firewall, but it was too late to hit the delete
Button."
"Six weeks later your mom sent me an instant message
Saying that her operating system was showing signs of unauthorized
Program activity from a self extracting file which had implanted
In her BIOS. Then nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared
And said:
You've Got Male'!"

So very tired....
... went round to watch the football at Tosh's yesterday and was planning on going home afterwards, however, I am informed that Helen is down for the night and is in the pub with Annie and Emma. So Tosh, Jay and I go down to Residence to see them. Drew is also at the pub, he had been out for a meal with his parents. So I have a sneaky pint. We chat and remember times of old. Tosh makes a very wise choice and goes off home for bed. The rest of us decide to go on to another pub, Helen is down after all so I stay out for a bit longer. So we end up in Moda on "Cheese" night, the boys and girls drink some more, I had work early doors and needed to drive home so I stopped and was on the cola. Music, dancing and merriment all round, it was like a flash back to college. Time passes and I think to myself must go home in a bit as it is late. I must also point out that for some reason they had a Christmas Theme night going on, 4 months early yes but what the feck. At midnight they have a fake Christmas and throw loads of Santa hats and antlers into the crowd, so we end up with a Santa hat and 3 set of antlers for us all. I again think may be another song then I will head off. Jay and I go downstairs to dance, which is way to busy by the way. We boogie for a while and head back upstairs, Drew has made the second wisest decision of the night and gone home as he has work this morning too. Jay, the girls and I stay on still. Another fake Christmas countdown goes by again at 1am. Before we know it its 2.30am and the night is over. So Jay and I say bye to the girls and start walking back to Tosh's house where we left our cars. Get to my car at 3.10am and have the another 15mins of driving to do to get home. Finally get in at 3.30am get into bed but don't fall asleep till 4ish. 3hours of sleep and its time to get up and go to work, What joy, I am also the only one in so I may be busy, but once I am asleep I won't hear the phones.

Is there a master plan for the earth?
Whilst wasting time at work today I began thinking about alternative means of providing energy for the world. It the suddenly dawned on me! Is it just coincidence that the majority of energy is produced by Crude oil, or has a higher being moved us towards it. Think about it, Crude oil was made over millions of years from tiny plants and animals, called plankton. The plankton on the left would form oil in about 150 million years time if the sea bed is not disturbed.
The plankton that lived in the Jurassic period made our crude oil.
This was the time of the dinosaurs. It was about 180,000,000 years ago, humans were not even on the scene, yet today this is one of the major commodities in the world!!
Coincidence I think not.

Tuesday and Back to Work
Well my weekend was very much the same as everones, but i drank way too much on Friday and spent too much money. Had a wicked nght mind. Saturday i was clinically dead until i got to eat at the picnic, then ran about too much and felt sick. Sunday went to pub for lunch, but then went to see my mum in Desborough (outside Northampton) had a nice Sunday dinner and slept on the couch. Watched top gear and the Truman Show. Monday i had off work so stayed at my mums and had breakfast and dinner with her and Selwyn. Drove back to the boys in the afternoon with a detour to my Dads to drop some stuff off. Got to the boys at 7ish had tea, then we watched a bit of TV and went to the Pub to celebrate Drews good news. Went back to the boys after and crashed on the floor in the spare room for the night.
