Good morning...

...and welcome to another Monday. So what did I get up to at the weekend? Took Jake to the driving range Saturday morning which is always good, then on Saturday afternoon played a round and three quarters of online golf with a friend in the U.S! Very cool. We used Tiger Woods '07 on the Xbox360 and played 18 holes of stroke play on the St. Andrews course. We played about 15 holes to start with, I was leading and Scotts Xbox apparantly 'developed a drive fault' which meant the game crashed! (I still want a stewards enquiry on that one!) Anyway, we re-started and he kicked my ass, I played like a fool and he played well to win. The result didnt really matter (*cough*) but it was such a good laugh. Hopefully we'll be arranging to play again soon.
Saturday night I was round my parents for a ruby. Sunday I had a golf lesson at health club that the wife is a member of. It went ok, but he changed my grip(!) which is always a nightmare because it takes a while to get used to it. Not to get too technical, but if you think about it your grip is your only interface between you and the club, so if you change what you have been used to for ages, its gonna feel completely weird. Im off up the driving range tonight to keep practicing it. Sunday afternoon was spent sat around doin naff all.
Anyway, not too sure of plans this week apart from driving range tonight, golf on Wednesday, football Thursday. Have a good Monday all.

Really loving The Enemy's album

Im listening to it constantly, which is a bit of a worry as I dont really wanna do the 'overkill' thing.
Playing football tonight, golf tomorrow then its the weekend. Cool.
Busy-ish day today, working on quite an interesting little Domino project. I should have enough changes to it tomorrow to make the day go quick which will be nice. I was up at 4.25 this morning.. just clicked awake and didn't really get back to sleep properly, but I've been on a couple of cans of red bull today so Im sort of tired but buzzin...

Anyway, have a nice evening all, more postage tomorrow.

Good day

Its a good day today. Not a fantastic one, but a good one. The reasons being:
a) Its payday
2) I have work to do, and its quite an interesting piece of code
c) Im playing golf this afternoon
IV) Ive got a new album that I bought on the spur of the moment, and I like it.

So thats all there is to report today really!

Soundtrack of the day: "We'll Live And Die In These Towns" by The Enemy.

Where are all the comments I used to get, by the way? Come on people, communicate with me. It gives you the chance to send anonymous comments, about anything, and I will always publish them! Peace all.

Update: Someone sent me this link today http://www.geocities.com/fang_club/lego_grail.html

Update: Mentalist alert!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6915262.stm

I heard the news today, oh boy...

On the way to work this morning I heard a report about a man who had attempted a solo flight across the atlantic, but it "ended in disaster".
Now at first glance, although that sounds bad, it doesn't sound too out of this world...but when you hear the details it makes you think "what the f*ck!?"
First of all he crashed 5 minutes into his flight, into a block of flats. So a journey that was going to take him around 30 hours ended in just 5 minutes. Secondly, the journey was going to be done in a light aircraft..."OK" you think "Its been done before" but the aircraft was home made! I mean come on! The poor man (he unfortunately perished, rest in peace etc.) must have been some kind of mental patient. (The article on the bbc web site here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6912431.stm
doesn't say that the plane was home made, but according to the news on the radio this morning it was). Anyway, it tickled me (not the death bit, but the idea of it...)
I also had one of those out-of-the-blue emails this morning from a friend I haven't heard from in ages. A good friend of mine called Rodney Miller, who lives out in Australia. It was totally unexpected but a really good start to the moring, rather than the usual toss I get in my inbox. If you're reading this Rod, G'day bloke!
Right, I have some work to do today, which is a nice change, so the day should go quite quickly. Oh, and I finished the new Harry Potter book yesterday. The people who die are &l0en3BH8 n88N3-WS02 and wmbfU83-'£% 2UIswyn$&( (bloody keyboard... sorry about that). Peace.

Im back

I was not well all the back end of last week, or the weekend really. I was coughing up stuff that could have run away and started its own business. It was not very pleasant. I managed to feel fit enough to go out for our planned beer 'n' curry night on Friday and I really enjoyed that. Apart from that, not much went on. I managed to watch quite a lot of the golf, (disappointed that Garcia lost out in a playoff, he's one of my favourite players), built a new desk for Jake, got down the driving range on Sunday morning (again with Jake). Its Jake's last Watford training session tonight, (Emma's taking him) and Im playing golf on Wednesday. Work wise, as I've been off for a few days, I need to do some catch up which at least means I shouldn't be sitting here bored today.
Anyway, I'll hopefully be back to regular updates this week so stay tuned listeners.

Update: Soundtrack of the day: "The Police" by The Police (Greatest Hits album...) ROOOOXanne...!

Apologies...

... for no post for a couple of days. Im on a sickie today, I feel like total 'merde'. Headache, sore throat, voice like Barry White and a messed up nose.
No much going on really, apart from a boys night this Friday night Im really looking forward to - a couple of pints, then a curry, just the lads. Can't wait.
Feeling like this, you just dont wanna do anything, so sorry about the short post, but Im going back to bed. Have a good Wednesday listeners.

Back to the slog

So its back to the daily grind today. C# Day 5 was a bust. We finished the course on day 4, so we could spend day 5 going over things that weren't on the official course, and seeing as the only thing I will be using was covered first, I left the course at 11.00! I then went and spent over £100 in Nevada Bob's golf store in Broadgate Circle... the guy I've been playing golf with said I should go check the shop out as it was so close to the course, so I did, and thats how I accidently spent the money. I bought some new golf balls that were on sale, and a new putter. Mind you the putter is VERY nice.
Not much happened at the weekend. A pretty quiet one. This week, its my turn to take Jake to Watford on Monday, playing badminton Tuesday, golf Wednesday, football Thursday and probably golf Friday again.
Finally, I was actually pleasantly surprised this morning, as I have been out of the office for a whole week I expected my desk to be covered in crap and all my stuff to be moved. But I came back in and everything is how it was when I left. So I guess people DO learn. Have a good Monday all.
