I’ve just spent 12 hours downloading the trial demo of World of Warcraft, and then another hour to download a 500mb patch. I’ve now registered and it seems that I can’t actually create any new characters while they do server upgrades – gutted.

Worse
Filed Under Diary, Running | Leave a Comment
I don’t know what was worse, having only been to the gym twice this month, or deciding that today was the day to have a third visit. I think it may have been a mistake to have so much time off, but it was definitely a mistake to go back. I feel so fat. At least there’s only two more visits before I have an excuse not to go, another trip to Leeds, this time to the Faversham to see Larrikin Love so hopefully a good night and a few beers will be had.

When going to gigs in the capacity of designated driver, don’t drink too much coke and the stand near the front right next to a speaker. The result of caffeine overdose, lack of sleep and loud music results in something much worse than a beer induced hangover. My ears are still ringing now – perhaps some earplugs may be necessary.
On the plus side Freds = good.

Catch Up

Its been a while since I posted anything meaningful here, and I’m not quite sure why. I suppose I am busy, but not with anything important. At the moment I always seem to have something to do, or somewhere to be, but I don’t think even with all the activity I’m actually achieving anything. Take for example the past month, I’ve:
- Been to the gym twice
- Played bowls 5 times
- Went 10 pin bowling
- Been to 5 gigs
- Got drunk numerous times
- Watched the world cup
- Ran the Blaydon race
- Celebrated two birthdays
- Went to a BBQ
Now as the total achievements of a whole month it’s pretty poor. Next month isn’t much better, but I will try much better.
Anyway since this month has been a bit of a waste really I’m not gonna continue writing this drivel, am gonna go get ready for the football and then go to Leeds for some more band action.
Until the next time.

World Cup
Filed Under Funny | Leave a Comment
It is just before the England v Brazil match. Ronaldinho goes into The Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. “What’s up?” he asks. “Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important but it’s only England. They’re sh*te and we can’t be bothered.”
Ronaldinho looks at them and says, “Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself-you lads go down the pub.” So Ronaldinho goes out to play England by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads “Brazil 1 – England 0 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes)”. He is beating England all by himself!
Anyway, a few pints later and the game is forgotten until Someone remembers, “It must be full time now, let’s see how he got on.” They put the teletext on. “Result from the Stadium ‘Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) – England 1(Lampard 89 minutes).”
They can’t believe it; he has single-handedly got a draw Against England!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldinho. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands.
He refuses to look at them. “I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down.” “Don’t be daft, you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!” “No, no, I have, I’ve let you down…I got sent off after 12 minutes.”

Not much I can say about this, women can’t drive and this proves it.

If you’ve visited one of my sites over the weekend, you may have noticed that its not been accessible. This is because the server on which this site is hosted was suffering from a DDoS attack. This problem has since been resolved and the server rebuilt, the data centre is also having some new hardware installed tonight which should prevent these issues from occurring again. Hurrah.

Dude, its hot (Part 3)
Filed Under Diary, Running | Leave a Comment
Went to a BBQ yesterday, it was good, it was very very hot, I was very tired, I wasn’t drinking and I ate too much. I think that covers it all really.
