Just a load of random thoughts and stuff i've been up to, probably not worth reading...

Love Clarkson, Hate Caravans



I just found this really funny, seems they were being given out at some caravan and camping show.

Why!? They'll never win! I might get some made up that look exactly the same, but with the the phrase the other way around and go replacing them in caravan windows ;-)

Alton Towers

Ok, not that i'm being lazy, but, what he said! I don't reckon there's much not covered in Mike's post and as usual we'd end up writing the same stuff (just depends who gets there first! lol). And since Mike has well... um... how do I put this, some time on his hands during his working day... ;-)

Late Night Poker

It's currently early Sunday afternoon, but it feels more like about 11 o'clock sunday night! Had an all night poker session at Neil's last night and we ended up playing from about 8:30 in the evening until about 5:30am again! Still talked about the same old rubbish and made the same old jokes... Neil, Gaz... ;-) Nothing changes!

Although at least this time we didn't have to go into uni for lectures the next day! Hmm.. actually, i'd put up with that if it meant being back at uni to be honest!

Wasn't quite getting light this time, but the birds were definitely singing when we went to bed... The reason i'm absolutley knackered now though, is because we got up about nineish because Neil was off to play football this morning - yep, rather him than me!

We played two full games right through to winner takes all, didn't win either this time sadly (bad luck of course!), but only spent a tenner for nine hours of entertainment so can't complain really!

I'm not too bothered about being knackered now though, because i'm off mon, tues and weds this week :-D And we're off to Alton Towers on wednesday - about time! Almost didn't make it this year! No doubt more to follow after wednesday...

Another electronic gadget!

Couldn't resist, i've bought another electronic gadget to add to the collection!

Been wanting a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) for ages, because when there is anything on TV (very rarely I know!) it always seems to all be on at the same time! Problem is every one I found seemed to either have absolutley rubbish reviews or not do what I wanted. Finally found this one by Humax though, partly from recommendation and partly because of its price and reviews!

Still quite expensive but it's going to be completely worth it, it's so useful - ok ok, very cool too :) to be able to pause live TV! It's got 160 gig hard drive too, so i think i'll be recording every single Top Gear for one... Which apparently has started filming again by the way! - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5409608.stm :-D

Can transfer stuff to the PC as well, so i'll be able to keep stuff if the hard drive (ever) gets full! Because it has two tuners you can do all the stuff like picture-in-picture etc too. Still got a bit more playing to do with it yet.

I really have too many electronic "toys" :-)

What else have I been up to... not much really! Off to Sheffield/Chesterfield next week for what will probably turn out to be another epic poker night with Gaz and Neil, if the final year at uni was anything to go by!

Went to Media last night, which has just re-opened and is now owned by Gatecrasher :-D Although last night wasn't quite Crasher... more the usual kind of student cheese night, but it's all good, just not Love Shack though, nothing ever can be! And for some reason it was dead! I think they really need to promote it more... most people probably think it's still closed... Crasher's on in a few weeks... must go, must go, must go...
