It turns out that many people are still under the belief that Barry Scott made famous by the Cillit Bang advert) is real. The truth is that it is a big fat lie, Barry is actually the cousin of Steve Bruce, a man by the name of Neil Burgess. Bang and the dirt is gone!
At the moment I just can’t stop winning, last week I played bowls 3 times, and 3 times we won. On Saturday I went to the pub to watch the Sunderland game, and they won. Finally last night I played Cluedo at a bbq, due to the number of people there I was in a team with Phil and again we were victorious. I don’t think we started that well but a little perseverance goes a long way, as the story says slow and steady does indeed win the race.
If you’ve been listening to the Scott Mills show on Radio 1 this week you would have heard him talking about ‘Chocolate Rain’, well he is right it does get in your head.
Just because I was bored here is a link to a very pointless website, you should join in the phenomenon.
Is Vista a piece of cack? Have your say here.
Well that’s it, after a rather busy weekend of reading I’ve just completed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was a rather good read, I’m not going to say anymore, if you want to know more you will have to read it.
So what a weekend its been. Supposedly its summer but there’s been no signs of that in the weather. I guess I should start by mentioning Glastonbury the worlds greatest music festival – I want to be there (maybe next year), I’ve been making the most of the BBC’s excellent coverage which explains why I was so knackered yesterday having not gone to bed till 2.15am.
Anyway when I did get up, I had all intentions of getting up and being productive, my first task was going to be washing my car, unfortunately the council were relaying the footpath on the street with tarmac so I couldn’t park my car outside to wash it. Never mind I thought, I’ll do it later. But later the rain began. I was in need of another task, so decided to setup a Sharepoint server, I found some instructions and set to it, it took hours, but finally the server was complete. The only problem now is that I’m not sure what to do with it. When you look for any Sharepoint documentation, its all very complex. Although I configured a server its only because theinstructions told me to, not because I know why I did it. I think I might need to do some more reading. Another problem is that my Sharepoint server is actually running on a Virtual Machine. The actual host PC is actually quite slow so my VM is unbelievably slow.
Thats about it for yesterday, I never did get my car washed, but did go to the gym then settled in for the night to watch Glastonbury.
Today I went to help Scott move a shed, washed my car, ordered a 500gb external HDD, went for another run and am just about to have my tea.
(PS. My new blog theme makes use of tags for each post, I’m having terrible problems working out what to tag entries with, should I just have a few predefined tags, or should I set up new ones for each post. Also how indepth do I get with my tagging. In this post I mention tv, running, technology stuff and Glastonbury the greatest gig ever. But does it really qualify for 4 different tags?)
