Blog Friday 6th May 2011 – Easter Hols, Emotional Breakdown and more!

Its all been a bit much recently if I’m been honest with ya. Well, we left off before the holidays which in many ways ya know were a bit too much to take, I’ll probably get to the reasons why pretty soon, but first I need to put some new batteries in my Magic Mouse, give us a minute … there we go, took about 20 odd seconds to do, some Duracell if you’re bothered! Hang on, that has to be the first live battery changing of a Bluetooth mouse to feature in a personal blog ever!!! … Nah, its Apple someone else’ll of done it, but hey, first for me!

Back at College

This week started pretty good as missing Monday for a bank holiday meant I only had two College days which was shweet! Tuesday was pretty alright to be honest, Josh wasn’t here apparently ill, which was annoying as I specially remembered my harmonica for him, ugh well. But to be honest I’d missed alot about College and realised why I kinda go, the people. Mentioned before how I feel about the course I’m on, we won’t go there again, case there watching evilly whilst wearing ski masks!

Thursday was a very interesting day at College though, Josh was here and immediately started coming up with a cunning plan to make the tutors get mixed up between and Sam with a hat. … OK theres two Sams at College, one wears a hat alright. And the hat was the same one, so it made it more convincing right? …. …. No. But it was fun watching them trying really hard to convince. Dinner time was when things got very interesting, for some reason Aaron never came out at College, so went down with Josh, Sam, Sam with a hat and some others. Bought some randomness from Lidl, well they did anyway, then hung around and had some laughs. Headed of in to town by myself after whilst I’d time to get some nice Sausage Rolls from the Greggs, whilst in town though who’d I bump in to than Aaron and a guy they were all looking for to called Danny, I know. Anyway, had a few laughs with those guys then walked up and we all met up at Lidl car park. Then it got very strange, Josh is very err… different the way he transports himself around and it didn’t pay of this time at all. Instead of going up some metal steps he decided to take an interesting climbing route, however this led to him actually bashing his head incredibly hard on a metal pole. Didn’t know whether to laugh or go Oooo, but when I saw blood, alot of it, I sort of started being sympathetic, I already crinched whilst it happened, oo makes me shiver thinking of that bang noise. Anyway, he ended up going with Sam with a hat to A&E at hospital, so that was an interesting morning then wasn’t it!

Afternoons on Thursday are quick anyway, and after nearly 2 hours the day was over, but hey, despite some Casualties along the way, OK one, had a very fun week to be honest! Fun but painful, more can you ask for … well Josh probably might ask for not having a bad headache right now!

Easter Hols

Minus the breakdown I had (see next section to get depressed) the holiday was a bit of a dim one. Not much happened during the holiday, but here are some of the highlights.

-We started filming for our upcoming Hutton thingy that keeps changing its name, me and Grandad Lee did acting, yes Lee did acting! OK, we only filmed about 5 minutes, but its not that bad of 5 minutes, and we’ve decided that the theme tune is going to be “Chill Anthem” taken from the Debenhams single, click that title text to get the single for yourself. The filming I’m not going to go in to, obviously we want to wait until its actually reached completion which knowing us could be years or never, but we’ll see eh. As usual with when I put news of possible film productions, they sound promising, then never happen, we’ll see if this one is different won’t we. My album following the Debenhams single, that will happen, probably late 2011 – early 2012 though, working some songs I’ve been writing through the years takes a while and I want it to be good.

-Rob’s Birthday occured in the holidays as well, which if I’m been perfectly honest with ya, as soon as I found out that it did I wasn’t happy, not that it was Robs birthday, but the fact that it took place in the holidays when I was just recovering from (see next section) and I kinda wanted to relax to be honest, it was the last week of the hols on a Thursday, I just wanted to sit at home and relax, but hey, went out with low expectations of the night if I’m been honest with ya. The birthday had a similar format as my 18th, but annoyingly no one decided to torture Rob like they did me on my 18th, bastards. But yeah, alot of people turned up, few faces I didn’t know, few faces I didn’t want to know and saw Kai and Jess who I haven’t seen in a while, and a while again as I’ve not seem them since that day … I lie, I saw Kai a week back, but hey. The night was actually quite a laugh to be honest, I always have a laugh with Jess, Grandad and Caddy (for the time he was there) were actually a laugh, never really spoke to Rob much which you never really do on birthdays but ya know, not a bad night. I was one of the few that ended the night earlier than the others who went of to Bradford to the Casinos, but I didn’t feel like it, or had enough to do so, so didn’t which I don’t regret at all to be honest. But yeah good night, needed that to be honest. I also ignored Rob’s relationship advise for reasons I won’t be harsh to mention, Jess mentioned the women from next section as well, but just said I didn’t want to talk about it and the subject was changed and we had a few laughs. But yeah as I said not bad night.

-House was free at Caddys again and me, Caddy obvously, Grandad and Kai, eventually Rob had a few laughs, all I’ve got to say about that to be honest. Found out Microsoft Kinect doesn’t acknowledge my existence, typical Microsoft eh. But yeah, had a few laughs, played Debenhams single on the Jukebox, pretty good night.


Emotional Breakdown

I kinda want to rush this section to keep myself in a good mood, and the pitch of this blog in a happy sorter reading way. … yeah! Anyway, the holiday was very uneventful to be honest, nothing really happened as in going out events weren’t interesting, OK they were a few, but for a holiday the “few” part was too big sadly, but hey. I was more annoyed that not enough stuff was going on because I could have done with many distractions over the holidays as I was pretty much doing what I’m good at, being crap with women. I am what I shall define as a “Sweet Ugly Bastard” when it comes to women, I’ll explain. I’m one of those guys thats nice to women, unless their chavs can get on with them … although if their chavs I sort of don’t get on with them in the way I avoid them at all costs. Anyway, what I mean by that is I’m nice and get on with most women, but when it comes to getting involved in something like a relationship is where I fail, and whats even more annoying about that is many women have told me that I’m a good flirter (I’m not in anyway) but not someone who’d they’d want to go out with, gee thanks! Basically what they are saying is you’d be a good boyfriend, but …. its you! Thanks a chuffin lot you bitches! Anyway, seen as I’ve been sort of noticed mentioning people with names before I am going to do everything in alias terms this time. Well, the holiday started with the women I’ve become SO CLOSE to finally getting what I’ve been dreaming about and wanting for over 5 years … her in a relationship being dashed again, but more worse with someone who is a twat I’ve known for about 10 years, I know, fun right. Whats even more annoying is that he claimed that he always fancied her and stuff when they used to hang out, all I’m saying right now is, back in those days he’s on about, when the women lived near where I do (which is also near where he lives) he never paid her a percentage of attention, if anything avoided her! Anyway, suppose I will always be this failure with all this love to burst out that will have to STAY concealed. Huh. The stupid thing about it even more was that she actually continued to flirt with me to and fro, was constantly having arguments with the one she was “supposed” to be going out with, then said she loved me more, and to be honest it all just annoyed me so much I just went in to a bit of a meltdown to be honest. Suppose the advantage of adding statuses and talking via text is you can pretend to be in a good mood through sites like FaceBook, but trust me, throughout the holiday I was concealing so much hate and depression. The problem is it wasn’t just from her, it was from consistent repeats of this same situation with one lass, then another, then another, and to be honest the main reason why I haven’t had a girlfriend in so much time … well apart from set point, what I should of said is why I’ve not been trying to get a girlfriend is basically because every single relationship I’ve hads been a failure and has actually made me quite scared of women. Seriously, there the one thing I love more than anything in the world but at the same time I don’t fear anything else more, and to be frank, I can’t take anymore heartbreak. What this time proved is that all the heartbreak, depression and sadness from previous relationships is struggling to stay concealed, you could say the bubble is truly about to pop any time soon.

She eventually saw through him and they broke up a week and a bit afterwards, reasons were not mentioned, but I oddly wasn’t in anyway chuffed about it or anything, why, because I knew that she wouldn’t turn to me. I wasn’t the reason she broke up, or if I was it didn’t show. She’s now going out with someone else, although this person, despite not knowing them, I know that they’ve known each other alot longer, or atleast are a lot closer and that both sides actually love each other which is ‘oh so freaking sweet’ isn’t it! I’m sorry, I really tried to carry that sentence to the reality, but come on, takes the piss. For the millionth time of trying to go out with her, failing, falling out, getting back again, we’re back to been friends. Oh joy.

I know what you’re thinking, you’re probably thinking stuff like Ben move on, well the fact of the matter is I actually love her, if you don’t know what that means then you’ve never loved someone before. Theres a massive difference with “Liking” someone to “Loving” someone. That always seems to get very mixed up with many people. Everyone I’ve said ‘I love you’ to in that order I genuinely have done, in fact I broke up with a lass … ooo its a few year back now, but we broke up because I couldn’t tell her I loved her, we were going out all fun and happy errr… thingy, but did I love her, no. There’s about …. wow, about, I know the freaking number, there’s two people in my life I’ve, well still do love. Both of which have bothered me, or made me happy or whatever else to make it into my blogs, but I will never stop loving them. Would I say I love the latest one more, absolutely, why, because we’re close friends, see her in person quite a bit, know where she lives! Its hard dude.

Took me a very long time to pack all that pain that we’ll probably never be in a relationship in to that ever f***ing growing bubble of emotional pain, and seriously I want to thank many people who’ve helped me get my happy up, oddly that comes from the people at College, seriously though thanks guys, even though I know you don’t read this blog, but seriously helped me through it and respect you alot for that, good friends man, especially Josh, which is actually his name, only women get alias’ in this blog.

Back to the present, and near the end of the holidays I saw her in person and we had a massive hug, didn’t say much but we’ve had chats and seriously she’s too much of a valuable friend to me to let this take me over, which is probably another thing thats helped me through it, I’m always here for her no matter what, I’ll always love her more than anyone else, and she knows that now and we’ve both ya know, dealt with it in quite an adult manor … I know, don’t get much of that do you! All in all though I do love her and always will.

Other things happening!

I know what you’re thinking ya thinking Ben I haven’t seen this before, well because its new and its a simple way to go over things quickly when my hand is tired typing.

Royal Wedding: Couldn’t care less, nothing I hate more than two peoples lives going so well.

Osama Bin Laden dead: Is he really, because proof is very limited and US stories keep changing, apparently the other side have confirmed it, but still seems fishy to me! If he is then, well, good. Only Beiber and Miss Black to go now, oh the lolz.

New iMac Update: These things are awesome, you can go up to 3.4GHz Core i7 (newest versions), AMD graphics up to 2GB, Ram up to 16GB, 2 Thunderbolt ports, 2TB+256GB SSD, and more, come on! Awesome

Little Dragon: Thought I’d mention that I’ve been loving Little Dragon recently, purchased both their albums thanks to featuring on Plastic Beach by Gorillaz and some of the songs are amazing, love em!

Vangelis Gift: My Dad had a Vangelis best of album CD when I was younger which I sort of stuck under my bed and snapped, but I found it and downloaded it and remembered how much I actually loved it. And actually now I’m more grown up I love it even more. ‘So Long Ago, So Clear’, that song makes me cry sometimes, OK it did when I was depressed with love problems, but seriously an awesome song.

Well thats ya lot to be honest, if you’re in a good mood you’ve obviously skipped that massive paragraph, had to get it out there to be honest. Anyway, till next time!

Blog Friday 3rd December 2010 – Snow, -20˚C, alot of it! and … what not!

by

0

Well its definitely been a while since my last blog hasn’t it, but if I’m been perfectly honest, we’ve reached that stage of the year where nothing kinda happens until the 25th, then kaboom, its a new year!
I’d be lying if somethings haven’t happened recently and I’d also be lying if I was to include them all in this public blog, but hey, read on and you’ll find out.

Snow!
This week has been College-less, nearly. Well basically last weekend came this incredible mass of snow, which unfortunately wasn’t enough to stop our Monday of College, even though there were barely anyone here, but then it kept going and snow it definitely has, plus record temperatures overtaking -20˚C which is just ridiculous man, ouch! This did of course result in multiple sledging visits through the snow, and a surprising number of trips to Grandad Lee’s bar as it were. Of course I’m talking in past tense, it still is very cold outside and the surface is white, so who knows. I was actually very glad actually, for some reason since coming back from the holidays I just haven’t been the same me, less willing and what not, hopefully a break will bring back that … I dunno, umf! Although it hasn’t been that bad going to Grandad Lee’s drunken duck, apart from the fact its always absolutely freezing down there anyway, even with what is lets face it a useless radiator. Been playing on the Wii which has actually been pretty fun, had a great laugh last night as well with Caddy, Grandad and eventually Kai, some disagreements put the mood down for a minute, but when Kai arrived, we were back!

Mini Blogs
I’ve decided that every Friday, literally, I’ve to write a little mini-blog, bought time this thing had a schedule, of course if something does happens and the keys keep typing for a long time then they’ll be a proper blog, so there you go, kinda always a blog every week!

MONKEYS!!! About!
No one likes PG Tips, or did like ITV Digital, but you’ve got to love the monkey. So I’m following MONKEY on his adventures, of course this is FaceBook friends of me only. I may … only may, post these on a public mannor, but currently are available through my FaceBook page. Follow the adventures of MONKEY on BookFace friends.

Meet up with an old friend!
I’ve no idea if I mentioned this before, and for the love of god I’m not going back to check now, but I recently, which is a month ago, got a request on BookFace from what we’re going to call on this blog D (thats not her name, I just don’t know if she’s mind been mentioned), who is the sister of James H, ya know, James, that guy who used to come around when Aaron used to … never mind. Anyway Di… D, was his sister and to be honest pretty awesome back in the day, of course being her brothers friend kinda meant we didn’t become that close of friends, and the fact I actually had a crush on her at the time probably didn’t help, especially as this was the time of the whole “Mary” fiasco. Anyway, we had some very … interesting chats on FaceBook, which led to texts, then last week actually meeting up in person. Now, because I’m a man, I did some things stupidly, like telling her I actually really “like” her few days before actually meeting up, although she seemed to respond rather well to that, which was a bit of a shock.
Anyway, we met up and due to my previous outburst of loveness, it kinda left the first few hours and minutes rather awkward, but when reality struck home that I was in all fairness with an absolutely beautiful women who chose to turn up to see me, ya know you’ve kinda of got to just roll with it man. We actually had quite a laugh, I enjoyed myself, telling if she did was many times rather debatable, you can never tell with women. Well basically I told her that I love her, which I really do, and ya know, well, she didn’t leave put it that way.
What I love about when we met up was, the entire snow weather didn’t occur until that day had ended and we’d said buy, even the weather wants us to be in a relationship, I sure hope so. Although she’s been pretty quiet since then so I’m still kinda on the fence on whether it all went as well as it seemed, although I know she’s got quite the troubles of her own, which I’m definitely not going to go in here! But hey, if she’s looking for someone who loves her, and will support her through any lows, me’s ya man!

I’m really loving Blur right now!
Now seen as age restricted me from been a pure Blur fan, kinda because Leisure album came out before I did, if you know what I mean …. wow that was a bit nasty. But seriously after getting all 5 Blur albums, and with rumours of a 2011 project, I’m loving it, in comparison with Oasis, Blur are just gods. Seriously though, if you want cheering up listen to a bit of Blur, well, except Think Tank, thats the lovey dovey depressing one!

Christmas Songs 2010
This list will probably be updated later, but here are all NEW Christmas Songs that have arrived this year!
COLDPLAY – Christmas Lights
HURTS – All I Want For Christmas Is New Year’s Day
MARIAH CAREY – Oh Santa
This list is sure to grow. I’ll be adding our classic collection of Christmas songs soon to the RKUK Media, and all Christmas songs on RKUK Media are available here!

RANDOM SIDENOTE: Does anyone spell Grandad correctly, seriously you’re supposed to spell it Granddad!

Well thats all folks, E-Ya Later

Blog Friday 5th and 6th November 2010 – Holidays, College, Trips Out, Data and more!

by

0

I really need to start keeping up my blogs, been nearly a month ouch! Coming up in this blog, yes we are now a TV show, week holiday, which in itself I catch up with an another old friend, Mt Desolation and ooh so much more!

So, lets get to it. Before I start I must say what I’m changing in my blogs, my blogs like this one (may) have/has two sections, one for Life and one Other, life for life, Other for tech stuff and more, so yeah!

LIFE

Holidays
Well, week holidays, woo, a million miles of activity should be going off right. Well, kinda not really. To be honest I’ve been spending most of my months adding music videos to RKUK Media, but something did happen in the holidays which put a nice smile on my face, a nice catch up with an old friend, Diza. You might remember a few months back, we’re talking May/June time here, I caught up with James Hodgson, who I hadn’t seen for ages, and to be honest haven’t seen since due to that thing that everyone seems to do, the “see you soon mate/gimmie ya number I’ll call you” scenario … no you won’t basically. But anyway, Diza is his sister, who I did not fancy to bits when I knew her in school, cough triple cough lol. Now I didn’t really obviously get to know her as much as James as I was more James’ friend back in school, but enough to know she’s pretty awesome, my type of person, random and all-in-all awesome. So, we had a bit of a catch up on the Thursday before the holidays (holiday started early, mention later), then saw her in Dews the day after, although annoyingly it was in passing in a hurry. Unfortunately since then haven’t seen her in person, we’ll have to arrange because we seem to get on so well and I just love her man. So, yeah, Diza, lovely! I would be lying if I didn’t censor some of that.

College
As I kinda mentioned above, I finished for the week holiday a bit earlier, that was due to something that went on that apparently will go on another 2 times this year, review week, essentially the same as review day, but in a week, although still has the same concept just the fact that they randomly just cancel all lessons in a week, I know, its really bad. So yeah, kinda finished for the holidays, dinner time on Wednesday before, so week and half holidays it became. To be honest thats all I didn’t mention since the last blog, yeah nought really happened since my last blog College wise.

The most Pointless Trip ever
This week I came back to College from the well needed holidays, if I may say so myself. But one thing that did annoy me is interrupting my schedule, Wednesday and Fridays are my days off and they always interrupt them, but this time it was just ridiculous. I spent my day off traveling to Hudd on two buses, get lost and start running for an Award Ceremony! The very small excitement that may have started for me when you read that out really should stop right now as I went and ended up getting incredibly bored and picking up an empty sheet of paper as recognition for going and I actually will have to wait for a certificate for something in a way I’d no choice but to do, and which no one failed. So yeah, starting at 10AM, arriving home about 4:30PM for lets face it no reason, great. Although I did for the probably 3rd time this month see Richard Whittaker, who claimed when he was in bullsh** mode say he lived in the US and was a millionaire, YYEEAAHH! Love finding out people are bullsh**ers, AHH-HAA!

The most AAARGHH Trip ever
And we reach the present. Today I spent going to IKEA, which I actually had a bit of a laugh with to be honest, went with Grandad Lee and Caddy, and when I was over the fact they’d woke me up it was kinda fun to be honest. We went to Birstall Retail Park, and I there failed by test, if I could not have McDs in a week by having some, although getting there Caddy did the most incredible and fantastic fall ever, although when we got to McDs he was actually bleeding all over so we kinda felt a bit harsh for laughing our eyes out but hey, I think he’s lying to say he wouldn’t of done the same to me or Lee. Then, we pondered on to IKEA, where after looking around, having 4 IKEA Hot Dogs, why I don’t know, probably because they were the best piece of plastic I’ve ever had, left with 4 Stools. Now, these are for Grandad Lees awesome bar, but carrying them home through 2 buses is quite awkward to say the least, but fun never the less. Then got home just in time for the week end reward, some nice chippies!

OTHER

iPhone 4 Data Test
When I purchased my iPhone 4 (SIM FREE) I decided to continue my Vodafone SIM I got my terrible HTC Desire, terrible when I discovered how bad Android is. Anyway, I had 500MB of data usage each month for my iPhone, and well, is that enough. Well, I can say after using my iPhone 4 36 days I’ve used up 240MB, so quick answer, yes. In that time I’ve uploaded a YouTube video (on 3G), updated FaceBook/Twitter regularly, e-mail and quite abit of internet use, and of course watched a view videos. So, in a nutshell, its enough.

Well, thats it, I’ll be back to more regular blogs now, even though I said that last time this time I really will be, trust me!

Blog Friday 17th September 2010 – End of Hols = Last Minute Trip + New Timetable

by

0

Well hasn’t this been a wait. In light of all the excitement going off during the holidays we’re finally back to a prompt due schedule, be it a new one, but the whole mo jo is still the same.

September So Far!
September has been a rather interesting month so far, quite some things have happened, I’ve ventured off on an unexpected trip, heard about having a second, and the usual banta of having a holiday of course.

Unexpected Venture, well holiday!
Well, whilst on multiple trips out with Rob and co I learned about their trip to holidaying out, well this one in particularly ended with me with a train ticket to go their! The holiday itself, be it in Bridlington, was actually something I wasn’t too sure about, wasn’t sure whether to bother or not, but hey paid for ticket now, so kinda have to. So, we’ll see how it goes.
Anyway, the Saturday arrived to set off and, obviously I did, set off on my own unexpected epic journey of traveling on 1 bus and 2 trains. Be it the first time I’d taken such a major trip, as in length and due time, rather nervous but made it, rather annoyed about my 40 minute wait in Hull, which I thought I’d occupy by walking in to Hull and looking at the iPhone 4 deals, but NO every phone shop was closed, whilst pretty much all shops were closed their still was a suspicious amount of people around, hmm!
Arrival
When I arrived in natural train time, which is actually bang on time, eat that bus services … yeah told them. Any way, few minute wait and was greeted by Rob and Helen, why I named them in that sentence in some random fatal case that it wasn’t them and this was some sort of trick by an Egyptian man to kill me! … … Well! So, yeah, after that we went to the massive nearby, very convenient Tesco, then went round “Night Bridlington”, wooo! Got a pint at the local Weatherspoons, yes I know, they are everywhere! Got an Hot Dog, which was bluddy lovely, then after a tour round Night Brid, went to the area of residents.
I have to say I was rather impressed with the place they’d got for Brid, which was a house rather than a Caravan, less Beach house more Farm house, but had had some work on it so it was pretty good. One of the rather good additions to the place was indeed the highlight, a hot tub, jacuzzi thing! Two words that mean more or less the same thing, everytime I mentioned it I had to chose in my mind what I was going to call it that time, but hey, enjoyed using the Hot jacuzzi Tub.
Day Out, and then … Out, shoo!
The next day, after spending the night in a surprisingly large bed, we headed in to “Day Bridlington”, I must stress for foreigners that these are not two places. Anyway, got some doughnuts, the iPhone info I wanted to get in Hull on the way their, and then went on two rides, Twister and the one where you get very wet, unless your Rob and sit in the back.
Then, before you knew it, the day had past, had a pint finale headed back on what was to be the journey back.
Un-Arrival … leaving then … shuttup!
The way back was a lot more troublesome than going to be honest, as the reason I had to go back was the same reason alot more people had to go back, jobs and education. Despite been stood up on the longest of the two trains I had to take, then having to take a bus which takes longer in which diverts you on to another bus making the journey last 5 hours, it wasn’t that much of a troubling journey! … Yeah! From tea time to pitch darkness my journey took me. Come on guys turn on the epic music.
No, in all seriousness had a good time, which is very very swell!

College and ought Else!
The day after my journey back from my … journey, was to College, oh joysee joy. After finishing a week of the new timetable I have to say its pretty much the same as last year, so like last year I will not bore you with the info, longstory short, 2 rather than 1 day off on Wednesday and Friday, which is why I’m in a better mood today, so overall, very good.
As for anything else, well saw Grandad Lee and Kai a few days after, which was a pretty good night, especially as Grandad on Wednesday took my trip to see Rob as well in Brid.

But that leaves us at point nemo. Obviously as we’re no longer in the hols, more things’ll happen, meaning mroe regular blogage! ooo goody.

But for now, E-Ya Later

Blog Friday 27th August 2010

Well since my last blog, crazy woman in takeaway place, home randomness, cancelled barbecue and all in all stuff.

Before I start I should probably mention that it is the holidays which basically mean I don’t know what day anything happened on, but … … they did basically!

Weird Random Woman
The only problem with this story is writing and conversation can’t possibly give it justice, but we’ll try. Basically the end of the night basically as it always gets you have a few to drink then suddenly you quickly have an appetite for absolute garbage .. with salt on. And this night was no exception, seen as at this stage of the night there was only me and Rob, we decided to bring in some company, in came the saviour, the man who embraces the Clubcard point and can rescue glasses from the highest of buildings, Grandad Lee. Well as nights go we embraced the british pint then as the Weatherspoons closed we went to the closest food establishment. Whilst we all waited for the food to arrive we took a seat and got on waiting. Then came about 5 people all that had come from the recently closed Weatherspoons including in which was this woman, which we thought nothing of. But as the minutes drew by and Grandad got his cheesy chips the crazy one took a shine to the saviour that is Grandad Lee, but we all quickly found out that their was quite an in-depth history between these two individuals, I know, utter shocker!!! Long story short, they were married and Grandad Lee of all his previous accomplishments, left his only child with this woman, I know, double shocker! And … oh yes there’s more, when the woman tried to make amense with Lee, he turned her down, I know, triple shocker! BUT THERE’S EVEN MORRREE! Once Lee had finished his Cheesy Chips in an incredibly quick way and left he ran away from the Woman as she ran after him up a public street in Cleckheaton, I know, quadruple shocker! … … phew. Right, now I know this is a lot to take in so we’re gonna give you a minute to take all that in. (minute). < told you.
So, yeah, interesting night.

The Drunken Duck!
Sticking to Grandad Lee, we move on to the cellar of excellence. Grandad’s cellar is rather quickly going to be turned in to a masterful bar, which has been geniously named by Kai as ‘The Drunken Duck’. So far, there’s … one drink. But we’re getting there, bar, more drinks and more its all coming together. Although it may take a bit longer whilst he goes on a two week holiday. But yeah look out for The Drunken Duck.

Objective Obsessions
As you may or may not know, I’m a very very big fan of certain objective obsessions, in which are microwaved fish fingers, which in a recent experiment on an 800watt microwave, 7 Birds Eye fish fingers are actually incredibly tasty 1:50 (first time) then turn around for 1:40, then yumm, but stick to Birds Eye, other brands have gone very wrong.
Anyway, there’s also the scones, in question either TESCO or ASDA’s brand of All Butter Scones, don’t even bother with other Supermarkets, especially the one with the M.
Oooh, and not to forget SMITHs amazing Bacon Fries.
But recently I’ve had a new obsession … NO NOT THAT, we already knew about that, no I’m talking about CARLING Premiere. That Premiere is very important. CARLING by itself is a very average Lager, but put Premiere at the end of it you not only gain 1% of alcoholic goodness, but smooth and to be honest the only lager that is 97.3% beer like. So check it out ….. if you can find anywhere that sells it.

Weeks Alone
Now Weeks Alone normally come to pass when members of family go on holiday, had mine a few weeks back and rocked out to Damon Albarn’s amazing music expertise, including music from his creations including Blur, Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and the Queen. But this time it was Rob’s turn and today marks the last day, which based on the fact I’m writing a blog today, nothing happened today. But, well to be honest throughout the week has been getting drunk, watching … TV, and well a very manly week, but with the twist of randomness that we bring to every situation, so yeah not bad week to be honest. Although we had to cancel a big barbecue that we had that was a bit of let down, oh well.

Ohh, Laughing Gas does effect me!
Had a dentist appointment this week and a filling which was for the first time with the Gas of the laughing. Now, I had a previous test to see how I was, and I was fine, to be honest didn’t realise (part from the smell and noise of the machine), but this time I was alive dead, if that makes sense, I couldn’t move and was seeing sunshine in my temporary double-chin, and to add to that don’t remember a thing about the filling, well, obviously you’re reminded when you look in a mirror and notice (once I found one that didn’t shatter upon my appearance) that your face is lopsided, but yeah, and all through the day really I was just … happy, for some reason, nought happened, all I remember is a random invitation to go places which resulted in Shortbread biscuits in a cupboard, so err.. result!

Copyright
You always end on a low don’t you, well skip the paragraph!
Yeah, just when I thought Copyright was out of the way, RKUK Media got a music request from a few labels, long story short, I’m having to revamp music on RKUK Media so bare with us, it takes a while to re-upload 2,040 (and growing every week) music videos. We’re getting there, in time. On a low note, MP3ME, the service that allowed certain artists to be listened to through RKUK Media has been forced to completely close, more information in thePRESS section of RKUK Media.

(Sidenote) – We must for the stupidest of individuals that this was purely a drunken joke and Grandad Lee has not run away from his marriage with one child.
Grandad Lee = Lee Tonks, not really a Granddad.

But to be honest, thats the load for a while, till next time, E-Ya Later.

Blog Friday 25th June 2010 – I've gotta stop doing this!

by

0

So, whats happened in a month, well turns out quite a bloody lot and I have decided in my laziness to make it painful to write a long blog, ugh.
Oh well, we must move on. Tell you what I’ll section it out, make it a lot more easier that I think.

College
Well College was stressing two weeks ago as my College tutor decided, ya know what we’re gonna finish this Friday, this is 30 minutes left on that Friday! Gee, thanks. So, me and many others got passes where they could have got merits, and merits where possible distinctions could of lied, ooo how I love pakis. “Hey, Ben thats racist”, yeah funny how its racist our way but not theirs, that is true racism. But hey, nothing else to say about College now, I’ve finished for the extremely long holiday ahead early and did eventually succeeded in finishing my course in time … just.
Took an attempt of the Maths test this week as well, hopefully passed, oh! and thats another thing. How come, for one I’m the only white in the class, and two that everyone has had 3 attempts and I’m on my first, seriously we live in a broken Britain. Anyway, enough about College, things like this just stress me out, especially not getting EMA because of a Funeral, I mean thats just sick, the government should be ashamed.

HTC Desire and the Whole eBay Thing!
Now, as you know I can’t stand the HTC Desire that I was forced to buy from the Carphone Warehouse, seriously never go there, they’d bought it before I even said I wanted it. It and Android are just terrible, even Google’s Eric Shmit, which I guarantee I’ve spelt wrong there, said Android isn’t good yet.
Anyway, being trying to sell it on eBay, Brand New even has VOID stickers on the box, but with an 8GB microSD rather than the 4GB standard. Got hacked 12 times IN A ROW!!! on eBay, all purchases asking to ship to Nigeria, then suddenly an e-mail from eBay “Suspicious Bidder Alert”. All I’m gonna say is if anyones actually fallen for these they are completely stupid as its obvious, soooooo obvious. I’m new to PayPal but I saw through that, especially when on the iPhone OS if you tap the so-called e-mail address it will show you the address their using to essentially hack you, plus there’s a space or symbol in the address, which you can’t have in an e-mail address making it OBVIOUS!
Anyway gonna try selling it through my mates 100% Possitive Feedback eBay Account, and block users that don’t have positive feedback, that way if we’ve a bidder, it will be a genuine purchase! Getting bloody fed-up of this!

iPhone 4

I know I wrote an entire blog about it, but yes the iPhone 4 is out and it is indeed awesome and yes I will be getting one, eventually, and for a lot less than you’d expect, more on that in my next blog after this, see what I did their, tapping you to view more hehe! Anyway, yeah I’ll be talking about the best UK deal on the phone and more up-to-date info on the phone, so yeah look out for that blog!

Our Big Dr Who Production
This weeks just been in general a stressful week, as you know by randomly finishing early last week did mean I could make it to the Dr Who Production by us, script read through, or so I thought. Yeah, turned out hardly anyone turned up, and when one of the lead characters doesn’t even turn up then you know you’ve got issues, so if this continues we’ll have to make a replacement, oh yeah, anyone can be replaced, don’t ever think because your a quote on quote “main character” you’re not replaceable!
Yeah, so quite annoyed about that, well, no more than the other Ben who arranged the whole thing, so yeah! Hopefully we’ll get some extra stuff done through the hols such as of course the big trip out to those arranged locations, time will tell.

World Cup
Now, I’m not much of a Football guy, I don’t even support England that much, why? Probably because we suck, I mean come on we drew against the USA, a country that know nothing about Football, they don’t even call it Football, they call it Soccer as Football in the US is basically an overhyped version of Rugby. Well, here we are so far anyway.
ENG 1 – 1 USA
ENG 0 – 0 ALG
ENG 1 – 0 SLV
And now we’re pretty much likely to be out after this one;
ENG vs GER. The World Cup is turning in to bloody WW2.

Ought Else…
Tell you what was interesting, this week as I was leaving College on the Monday after checking I’d finished my course, I bumped in to James H, haven’t seen him in centuries (slight exaggeration) we ended up having a trip round Leeds, wasn’t a bad way to finish the day, rather good!
Oh, and I saw the first episode of the new series of The IT Crowd early, even though its on tonight on Channel 4, 4OD had it exclusively, it rocks, can’t wait for the rest of the series.
Apart from that we haven’t really done much, but hey expect more regular blogs in the coming future alots happening as it the hols, kinda starting tomorrow with Heather’s birthday, yeah!! So yeah, rock on, and err…

E-Ya Later

Blog Friday April 2nd 2010 – Trip 2, Theatre…ish, HTC Desire, I Hate Maestro and more!

by

0

Well, happy Friday to you all, todays been quite a boring day for many reasons, which I’ll get to, but before all this … other things have happened.

Wednesday
Wednesday was our last day of College, as such anyway, in reality we finished on Tuesday and had something to go to on Wednesday which involved no work so was more like a trip. It was a massive improvement from last Tuesday. Got a tour around and more. But to be honest whilst it was better it doesn’t deserve its place in the blogersphere!

Hang on, did I just get a HTC Desire a Week Early!
However one good thing about this trip, despite it also meaning the beginning of the Easter 2 and a bit weeks holiday was the time we got back, last Tuesdays trip led us back to nearly 5PM, I know. But this week I was back by just after 2PM, which gave me time to do things. Now, as you know I’ve been high on the heels to getting myself an HTC Desire and Carphone Warehouse said yesterday (I went in my dinner hour) that they would have more information tomorrow about contracts etc. So went in basically to get some more information i.e what contracts are available. Now I had looked on their site and had my eyes set on a £30/month contract with Vodafone, the reason I wanted Vodafone was because its well sooooo much faster than O2 and Orange, the other options for the device, oh and T-Mobile, which would be great if T-Mobile had anything over … a bar, in anywhere I go. So, went in, and asked a guy (never got his name, although I believe its written on my reciept) about the device and to my rather surprise he said “Oh, yeh we got one in”, I was like “WHAT”, seriously even today, 2 days later writting this blog the device is still “Coming Soon” on Vodafone but available to Pre-Order for the date, Vodafone are stating 14th April to arrive. So, yeh. I think the shock just brought some intense momentum in my body that made me buy it then and their, oh did I mention that “one” was just the one they had. So, after convincing him rather slowly due to his intense persuasion that I didn’t want to go on O2, 3, T-Mobile, Orange, Virgin, I wanted to go on Vodafone, and I didn’t want a £70/£50/£40/£35 a month contract I wanted a £30, and that I didn’t want a 24 month contract I wanted a 18 one. I eventually left with the device. Based on the contract I had to pay some upfront, which was nice. So yeah, got it now. I’ll be doing a review next Wednesday coming, which funnily enough is when its available to buy from Vodafone, LOL! All I need now is a memory card (microSD), I was going to get a 32GB but their over £100 as they are so brand new. So, 16GB microSD to replace the 4GB it comes with and then err… yeah! I’ll be no doubt posting my first impressions review as I mentioned next Wednesday.

Thursday
Thursday’s always seem like rather dull days in my life, basically because its always my day off, but no one elses ugh. But today despite having the dog over, yeh didn’t mention that from Wednesday to possibly next Wednesday we have a dog, which I completely enjoyed sleeping … with. No this was not an April Fools joke it actually bluddy happened!

Theatre…ish
By Theatre I mean, not at all, but there you go. Anyway there was a performance we went to see at Ben’s College (not me, Ben Hunter), think it was Twelve Night, anyway we went to see it. And I have to say it was err… well if I had to rate, I’d rate it probably 6/10, why? Well, bad actors ruining it for good ones. Their was some absolutely amazing actors in it, especially the two playing drunk men, very good, yet their was this err… well not to be racist but everyone who was black, which was one man and a woman, were absolutely terrible, dreadful acting, when they were on stage with actually alright and good actors it just ruined everything! So, yeh get pretty much a new 40% cast and ya sorted. The parts that included good actors were very good have to say. Having said that I couldn’t tell anyone anything that happened, but yeh!
Then it was time for home, we were taking Ben with us home, so they was me, Ben, Rob and James (Rob’s brother) who ended up going. It was surprisingly late when it finished have to say.
The night ended with multi-stress between stuff going off, family matters between others which we will not publicly mention, but led to visits to Premiere Inn. Got back about 00:15 so, apart from missing the first part of the first of double-bill of Two and a Half Men on VIVA I was OK.

Friday (Today)
Well today has been pretty so-so, haven’t really noticed I haven’t gone to College (due to it have finished) but the day started a bit later than yesterdays 8:30AM thanks to the dog. The day has been rather boring actually hense why I’ve time to do the blog so early, even though EDIT I left it so it seems late.

I Hate Maestro
Now, don’t think I’ve mentioned I’ve got a HTC Desire in replacement to my iPhone 3G in which I’m planning on selling, but I do have one major problem with the Android OS and thats that like alot of online services Google have stopped supporting the Maestro brand of Debit Cards, yeah triff. Now I was already against them when I couldn’t pre-order HeartGold SoulSilver as GAME had stopped supporting them, now I’ve just reached breaking point. And to add to that its a bank holiday weekend from today till Monday, so I’ve to wait till Tuesday, ugh! So, yeah, no debit card needed.

Ought Else
Well if I’m been honest mate, no!

Random Sidenote: The new YouTube layout is absolutely sh**.

And thats all folks, E-Ya Later

Blog Friday 5th February 2010 – Birthday bash, Oops, and more!

by

0

Not to start the day on a low note, but is it me or was everyone either missing today, or just extremely moody, have no idea why, I know it rained but thats just taking the mik, anyway, back to a more exciting subject eh!

Birthday Bash
On Wednesday, been February 3rd was of course my birthday, thanks to who sent messages you know who you are, how?, well basically if you don’t know what I’m talking about then … it wasn’t you. Now we’ve got that sorted out let us move on. As you know, I did something I’ve never done before, wrote a 10-day review of something I got for my birthday the same day and that was of course the iMac, makes my Christmas present look pretty rubbish actually, HAH, beat that Jesus, anyway, now we’ve lost all christian audience I’ll continue, ps Hello foreigners and atheists. The only downside in having the iMac early which trust me I couldn’t think of anymore than one, was the fact that on my birthday it didn’t feel like my birthday, to top that it well, basically nothing happened, although it did snow … for some reason.

Thursday arrives my day off, and guess what? Now the party starts, ugh, bluddy hate that, Wednesday was so perfect as I could of got wasted and arrived in at home whilst my Mums walking to work and wake up at 4:30PM as if it was a normal Thursday, but no. Nah, wasn’t that bothered actually, turned out to be a very good night to be honest. We didn’t do much out of the ordinary, me, Rob, Caddy, Grandad (lee) and Jordan, Jordan is who I met during the Rob and Beth fiasco … I mean scenario … obviously, did I just type that out loud? Annoyingly for Rob the night started by automatically foiling one of his birthday plans, for everyone to wish Happy Birthday at the doorstep, but my Mum answered and said to Rob, come in, LOL! (Oh my god I said LOL in a blog) But as soon as I left I was greeted by a sound of low-key vocals singing happy birthday emerging from a dark alleyway with a brand new camcorder, not your average walk to the front gate of your garden! Anyway, “and the night, goes on …”. We ended up trailing round Cleckheaton starting at the good ‘ol Weatherspoons, then touring far and wide, well we went to another pub then back again, but it was at that other pub where it all started to kick off. All I’m gonna say is, drink + free shot from manager + every pack of Bacon Fries (including the Card Board) = Happy Ben. Turned out Kai worked at the bar which made it kind of a bonus to be honest. Rob kept getting his video camera out, all I’m gonna say is I’ve no idea what they’ve filmed but its gonna be bad isn’t it.
Then it kinda of got weird, had my bacon fries, saw the sky had turned purple after the shot I’d had, but both Ben (Hunter) and Kai both never returned, apparently they were supposed to meet us later but they never arrived, weird.
So, we arrived back at the Weatherspoons after Jordan found out he’d missed his last bus, which of course had to go for last resort being a taxi. In the Weatherspoons I don’t know what we played, oh yes, 3 people, sh*g, marry or holiday, all I remember is picking Cheryl Cole for sh*g, by the way the others chose the 3 to chose from, then it just got weird, I’m sure its all on bluddy video.
I was going to go straight home when it reached 12, but y know what I decided to stick to it to the end and you know what I’m glad I did, we had some chips, the kind that are only nice if your pi**ed or very close to being, so at the time they were lovely, whilst ordering we stared at a newspaper with a woman in it, say no more, we’re male and human. Then we went to what had to be a very silent visit to Grandads due to his parents been asleep and we went in to the cellor, don’t judge, its been done out, its now more of a drunken courtyard now, thats actually not a bad name for it to be honest, I’ll have to remember that. Jordan was not impressed with Robs homemade brew, as was many apart from Rob to be honest, oh and Lee, but to be honest he can’t tell the difference between Vodka and Water. Oh yeh I didn’t mention, Caddy went home after Weatherspoons incase you were following wondering. During the walk to Grandads, Ben rung and well, I don’t know to be honest, Lee said he wanted us to meet him or something, the answer was definitely a no if for anything been we went to the Weatherspoons for him to meet us in max 30 minutes.
Had a ride on Lee’s exercise bike, yes you read right, actually it was the only seat I could find. Jordan left in a taxi and Rob mentioned something he’s probably forgotten about but kinda hope he hasn’t, he said he’s going to re-write Dr Conrad and you could be seeing more of Dr Conrad by Q3 2010, look out for that then! We’ll see.

Anyway, I think that’s all, probably remember something else, I’ll post it in a future blog if I do.

E-Ya Later

No I don’t know why I did that either, but at the same time I couldn’t resist, well I’m sure we’ll find all sorts of things like that in our lifetime! <<WAT! Anyway, on that note we return to the matter in hand, this blog! Now in my last few blogs I have been bragging about how much, well, nothing really happens, not saying thats particularly changed, but, well, a few things have happened over the last few days I thought I’d share with the world!

We’re off to see Nickelback!
I know what you’re thinking, damn Ben why didn’t you add that in to your blog title, thats pretty epic, dude, or something, but well the reason I didn’t is … well, let me explain. On Wednesday night I got a phone call from Rob asking if I wanted to see Nickelback, and I was like, well, yeah of course, so agreed that the details would be filled tomorrow, which would also be when it would happen, put the phone down. So, I’m like, yeh, Nickelback gig, rock on! Then, I later found out that it actually was the Christmas Light switch on at Leeds, which would be still alright had it not be for my Mum informing me from Real Radio, who just so happen to organise this event of epicness, so yeh brill, trust me the replacement is worth waiting for!
So, me, Rob and James (Rob’s brother) set off to the bus stop where we met Ben (not me obviously) and set off to the bus stop where we we’re to go to Dewsbury to meet Trish, who’s Trish, well its Rob’s new GF, don’t you read my blogs, arrrghghh! ….Anyway, so, bus to Dewsbury, train to Leeds, wooo train. I actually got an extreemly cheap ticket for the train, I had £10 and it was like 30-odd pence, yeh love carrying that change, then my ticket never got checked so in reality I could of probably just not got one and enjoyed a light pocket, but I now had a determined challenge to spend my change through the day, wayy! So, we arrived in Leeds and who did I see, well, on Rob’s birthday I saw Ashley from College, well this time I saw Michael from College, when I’m saying from College, I mean last year when the course wasn’t full of di**s. So, had a chat to him, turned out he was off to the same place but was meeting his girlfriend, so yeh, so eventually I joined the gang and continued on to the rather expectedly large crowd. It was absolutely chucking it down which was bad, the Nickelback not performing was confirmed, ugghh, but Pixie Lott is still coming, wopty flipping duu, refrain me from doing summersaults in excitement, OK maybe that was harsh, if anything she’s quite good looking, anyway, and my age + 1, I know, bonus, anyway again, but the fact that Nickelback wasn’t here meant they’d to fill the gap and who with, well the first was the crap X-Factor singer who had that hideous dress and was fat, link at the bottom of this blog of a YouTube link. But then, ooo it all started to kick off, on the stage came Loraine Kelly!!! OH MY GOD, IT’S that one from LK Today thats on when I’m either not awake or at college, or have much better things to do or watch. Then when they filled the rest in with idiots dressed in costumes singing ‘Frosty The Snowman’ which call me rather weird I don’t actually know the words to, I think we’d had enough, definitely Ben had, Rob later said it wasn’t happy that Ben didn’t like it, but, Rob, seriously, face it, it wasn’t the best of shows! Anyway, so, where to go now, well, we ended up tracing all the way back to Cleck and going to Weatherspoons, then James had to go home, and huhh, so Ben took James home and I was left with Rob and Trish, who later had probably the biggest fuss to going home I’ve ever seen, seriously if I had a Guinness World Record adjudicator with me, we’d have a record on our hands, all I’m gonna say is he wasn’t like that with Beth, so thats a good sign, anyway, look at me talking about people on here, oo! It’s not like I’ve revealed that some people **** in the toilets and shout it on an almost full bus or anything! I think we’re even. Anywho, so yeh, so I went with them for the journey and ooo it was indeed a fun journey, to Dewsbury, then in the Red Corner, Rob “Fore the Taxi” and in the Blue Corner, Trish “I’ll walk I’ll be fine”. I’m not dissing them, I’ve just never seen someone have so much fuss over each other, anyway, when the night ended we got home, on the same bus as well, ooo! But then came a bluddy other trouble, just as we were getting close to our stop, the bus lights turn off and he goes the otehr way, ARTGHH, so we ran out of the bus basically, we almost got deported!
YEAH! Anyway, oh yeh I spent my money on McDonnalds, I got Large and a Small portion of fries as their just isn’t enough in the portion of large, don’t you tink, oo and some Munchies! Spent rest today on Lucozade and toast, woo living the high life me!
When I got home I gave my Mum a heart attack which was kinda funny, it probably wouldn’t be if it was an actual heart attack but ya know what I mean.

Anyway, just gonna finish by letting you know that Windows 7 Review will happen when it happens, the RKUK Toolbar will have an update soon with Yahoo! Bing and Dogpile search added, thanks for the requests guys. We’ve got a proxy site, oh and Selection 77 is out. Breath it, breath out, it is indeed all starting to happen. Such a pity its gonna absolutely pi** it down all weekend … bugger. Oh well, I’m a Celeb starts on Sunday and of course X-Factor where surely Lloyd should go now!

Anyway, thats all for now, E-Ya Later

Blog Friday 2nd October 2009 – Single, Olympics 2016, iPhone on 3 networks and more!

by

Welcome to the life of a guy who can’t have a decent relationship over the period of what, a day, which lets be frank is longer than a lot previously to be honest, but ya know what I’m still happy, to be honest you should always leave a relationship with a positive attitude, I mean lets be honest I’m not yet the age to be thinking about a lifetime relationship so its time for a bit of fun and I had that with Lucy, yes I found out her name, woo! All in all I had a great week simply because of that, well, another’s coming up … yeh right, but ya know what, if I can say anything is that I was for one not expecting it, and the first face I pulled to her probably didn’t give her a good impression, but that toast was burned so I’ve decided to blame the canteen staff at Dewsbury College for me been yet again single, Damn Crows … Damn Canteen Staff … yeh doesn’t have the same ring to it, but it’s gonna have to do!

Olympics 2016

So, where not even set in the UK for 2012, but it was announced today that the 2016 olympics will take place in ‘Rio’ in Brazil, just thought I’d inform you with that valuable information!


If you hadn’t guessed from the images, O2 will no longer be the only network in the UK to have the iPhone, from the end of 2009, Orange UK will join the crowd, and then in early 2010 Vodafone UK will also join the clan! So, when the next iPhone comes out you’ll have more choice than ever before! Now, they are many things you need to consider here, and thats that Orange, out of the three has the best 3G (overall) reception which can only be a plus, but Vodafone was the first of the three to get 3G in the first place so they are probably more experienced, oo I don’t know what to do! The next iPhone will have three networks to choose from, which for us Brits is too much to think about, although I’ve always had the best experiences with Vodafone overall based on customer support etc, plus I still have a SIM with possibly the easiest number to remember ever on Vodafone, so next year I may be changing networks and still having an iPhone, oo how exciting!
What about you, leave a comment below if your in the pickle I am about the iPhone network deal!

Anyway that’s ya lot this week, E-Ya Later

Blog Friday 13th March 2009

Oooooooooo, 13th ……. on a Friday, the world is going to end, arrghh ……. get a life!

This blog returns me to my old ways, this is a 100% off the bat blog about things that are bothering me or praising me up in life and what not, yeh … what not!

iPhone Event Next Tuesday
If your a current iPhone or 1st gen iPhone user, or even an iPod touch-er, or just a guy interested in tech, you’ll be interested to know that on next Tuesday Apple will host a special event, this time for the iPhone. The event is rumoured to be mainly based on the new iPhone Software 3.0, as you know the current version is 2.2.1, I’m pausing my blog to check that is true ….. yes it is. Ironicly something which no one believes me for, is that I got software version 2.2.2 and had it for a week and the bugs were incredible, nothing but bugs, and guess what, next time I synced I was reverted to the older 2.2.1 which today is still the same version, maybe I was secretly beta testing for Apple, who knows.
In light of this event and what happens on any few weeks, months, sometimes even years before an Apple event are the rumours, WoooOOoooo! There’s a rumour going round that in May O2 will be selling 100% free iPhone 3Gs in set for the new ones coming out! The reason why I don’t believe this rumour is that, the closest month to May is June and that is set for WWDC 2009 which is all set for an “all Mac” day, meaning the release of Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, plus the whole free iPhones, seriously you wouldn’t be able to even look at the O2 shop if that was true.
Rumours for the 3.0 software, soon we’ll be able to see if any of this is true or utter bollocks. Copy and paste, MMS and err note taking is all thats been mentioned. Personally I think thats a pretty poor assortment of rumours, especially when you look at the difference between software version 1 and that of 2.0 with the App Store and what not, nope we don’t have a clue to be honest, Apple are either predictable like what they were at MacWorld 2009, or which is 80% of the time unpredictable, and Apple are also well known for not stating whether a rumour is true or false until it can become certain to all.

Friday 13th
Unlucky for some, I’m not superstitious, mainly because I’ve more important things to do rather than sit at home estimating when the planet will implode, seriously I’ve heard them all, never true. Today wasn’t really unlucky, today was more glum to be honest. Still now I feel something is missing that’s normally here on a Friday, I mean Friday’s are supposed to be my favourite day yet I find myself pretty disheartened by the whole day. I also just realized this second a delete shortcut on the Mac, if you press ‘Command’ then the delete key, if will delete an entire line of text, yeh! Anyway, back to the story. … I’ve even checked with others I’ve seen today and even they say that they are feeling abit low, is it Friday the 13th, I almost put 12 for some reason, or is it just a few college guys who had too much beers the other night, lost track of time and went to sleep about two hours before setting of to another day at college … you know you guess is as accurate as mine. One thing I did like about today was some tissues, bare with me on this. Sam has this awesome tissues that smell just awesome, he got me a pack of them and I don’t use them I just smell them, the only problem with that is I look like I’m probably doing drugs, but you know what, I’m cool with that. Imaging the embarrassment in rehab, Amy’s on Cannabis, Pete’s on Cocaine, Ben’s on an odd pack of tissues … yeh not cool.

PSP2
Just to finish off, I found out today that Sony will be releasing another PSP pretty soon simply titled the PSP2. The device is said to be a slider and Sony are apparently gonna make it capable of playing PS1 games, which to me is just awesome, cause if you think about it they’re still some awesome PS1 games, such as Disco 2000, which I was never off, and I think there’s a Crash game which I recorded the theme on my phone and had as my ringtone.

Anyway no more today, thats all that mattered to me this gloomy 13th, E-Ya Later

SideNote : I could’ve sworn a girl winked at me today, and it was one of those, heh heh winks. I’m hoping you read them the way I wanted otherwise you may get a whole new idea on this, anyway Laters.
