Where will it end?

I just saw an advert on the tele for a Wilkinson sword quattro titanium which is a FOUR blade razor.... how ironic I should talk about this now.... I can't see the point in there being 4 blades, its staring to sound dangerous! So my question is, where will it stop? Razor companies must make lots of money in getting people to buy the latest razor hence they bring out 1 blade, 2 blades, 3 blades, 3 blades that take batteries! and now 4 blades!!! Will there ever be 5 and 6 blades?!? or perhaps a face mask filled with blades so that you just put your face in it, sneeze and you've just shaved. I think they've reached their max number of blades now surely, and will try to work on gimicks like the battery one.

Rant over.

Back by popular demand.....

Cutie one...


Awwwwwwwwwws...

Getting Old?

About 8 ish years ago, I helped my mum and dad dig up their whole front garden which was about 2-3 times the size of my back garden.... yet today I felt really tired just digging up half of my back garden! So why? The only conclusion I can come up with is that i must be getting old, past it, over the hill.

Perhaps if I ask my lovely girlfriend Lizzy really nicely, she will help me put the new one down once I finish digging the rest of the old one up? I probs wont put a new one down for a couple of weeks, leaving there enough time to make sure there are no weeds left in the ground... I might put some weed killer down just in case too.

Happy Easter

Some you win, some you lose...

1) Starts bad then gets better..... After my horses performed like vegetables on the grand national, I found out that ladbrooks didn't actually have my details correct on the newly created account I used to make my bets.... so they sent me an e-mail asking for my billing address again... hehehe oops.... I might forget to reply to that one!!!! £30 not lost after all :oD

2) Starts good then gets worse..... After getting my free tea and hot cross bun today from work, I managed to put the tea bag in the bag that the hot cross bun came in and begin folding it many many times.... after chatting away, I noticed my trousers had tea all over them as I had managed to wring out the whole tea bag all over them! D'OH!!!

I think that confirms the pleasure/pain theory.... now time to use my power drill....

Whats your limit???

Here's the clean version.....

For £1,000,000 would you kill a horse?

Pros
With the money you would be able to save many other horses! And even people from death, disease etc.

Cons
The horse will be dead and you will have killed it.

Remember, killing the horse is a bad action, but deciding NOT to kill the horse is another action, and that action would mean that you would not be able to put the money to something that could save many horses/people etc...

Personally, i'd kill the horse.
















...oh yeah, and i'd give the money to somewhere that would actually save peoples lives.

Time for another post...

Haven't blogged for a while now... just been a bit busy/lazy! So here's the catch up of shiney items, garden plans, how not to move shelves and football. Sorry for the Huge blog!

Some of my recent purchases have definitely been worth it and I can't believe I didn't buy them before, such as sky + and surround sound. I think sky + has actually made me watch less TV, because I can record loads of stuff really easily, so that I only watch decent stuff on the TV. I'm clearly watching loads more random football too! Surround sound is awesome, I just need to tune the system so that my back speakers are slightly louder, and the subwoofer needs turning down slightly as its knocking paint of the walls...... if only! The few.... larger bits I still want to buy is a new digi camera, got my eye on the nikon P3, Tom Tom (waiting for the new product line in April), DVD recorder for copying stuff from sky down, new shiney mobile with bluetooth headset (should get off old contract as its expensive and I don't use 50 free mins a day anymore!!!) , new bike so I can continue to improve my fitness and consider triathalons, huge external hard disk, to hold all my photos and mp3s and movies etc, maybe a digita camcorder, new bedroom furniture and possible rearrange the spare bedroom, huge rug for the lounge and other minor things too! phew.... i need a pay rise!!!

I now think I know what to do with my back garden... it involves taking a week orf from work, digging the garden up, putting decking down, relaying the lawn, putting a new shed up in the far right hand corner of the garden, and putting down big stones to the shed and gate in the other corner of the garden. I might then decide to dig out a couple of holes in the middle of the garden to put plants in or have shingle stoneys down the right side to put potted plants on.... anyway.... enough talk of gardening.... football talk soon....

Question.... How can moving shelves from one side of the lounge to the other side of the lounge require a complete room paint?
Answer.... Get me to move them.
What happened.... Well shelves were taken down.... rawl plugs removed from wall.... holes polyfilled and sanded.... then painted with what I thought was the right paint, but it was actually the old lounge paint mixed with a darker sample pot ages ago when I painted the spare room.... then go to B & Q to buy a small sample pot of the original colour.... paint over the patches and say to self, wow, thats spot on.... with confidence in paint overwhelming, paint other patches all over the lounge.... cry as when the paint dries, it dries far darker than the original.... hence whole room needs a re-paint :o(

Football: I'm playing loooooads of football at the moment, and my fitness is getting loads better, as is my actual playing. I'm going to Keele (between Manc and Birmingham) on 21-23rd April for a weekend football tournament which i'm really looking forward to.... finished 2nd last year which is the highest as yet. The mighty Royals will be playing today at 3 against the foxes knowing that a win would mean they are playing premiership football next year!!!!! Everyone must keep note of the Reading score and cheer when they make it..... BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!!

So off to B & Q to buy some paint to paint over the patches between my patches!!!!!! So long!

iPod car attachments

I've been looking at some car attachments to play my iPod in my car, but unfortunately my best bet, the iTrip seems illegal :o( Might buy it anyway but the other options all seem a bit too much hastle or too rubbish.

Anyway, had a fun weekend, mostly doing D.I.Y round Liz's and mine, bits of painting, clearing up and shelf putting up. As well as time to chill out and laze around.

Well if that don't put the dink in co-inky-dink

£50M stolen from Kent.... most of it has been found.... I go on a wild spending spree.... unrelated? Perhaps...

Spending spree: Wireless router, Sky+ subscription, 30GB iPod video, iStation, loadsa portable telephones!
Still to spend: Sat Nav, surround sound system for TV, iPod car accessory thingy, new shinier mobile with bluetooth headset.

Reasoning behind spending spree: Don't know.

All donations will be gratefully accepted.

Feeling like I'm coming down with a cold :o( Looks like I'll have to watch some TV at home :o)

Other news... My lounge is now the opposite way round to the way it was last week! Feels a bit strange now, but somehow there feels like there is more space! I'll have to find a gadget to buy to fill it up ;oP

Help Wanted

Wanted: People who are hardworking, don't mind working for nothing, do what they're told, never complain and work 15 hours a day.

As the days get longer, and the evenings get lighter.... I can see the mess that is my back garden for even longer. I need some volunteers to dig it up and put something low maintanence down that looks good. I will of course be around for supervision and management issues, to ensure all goes well.

Thanks in advance ;o)

The rant begins...

Sports that shouldn't be called sports.....

Snooker, Darts, Archery, Shooting, Baseball, American Football, Golf, Curling, Croquet, cracker eating, Cricket (questionable), pie eating and finally weight lifting.......whats that all about.

These should be called skills. Similar skills are knitting, flicking, snoring and sneezing.

Rant over... it had to be said.

33 games without losing.... and out

Reading lost their second game of the season on friday :( Ahh well, we'll be in the premiership next year all the same! =D URZZZZZZZZ

Feeling a little ill at the moment, but still had a fun weekend! been doing loadsa gaming, eating loadsa pizza, and even did a spot of painting! (D.I.-Si). Geoff came over on Friday night which was really good fun coz we haven't had an evening of beer, pizza and gaming for a while now. Managed to win the world cup too...... which was nice ;o)

4th post.... I'm on a roll

Been to see my little niece again today and my how she's grown.... in the last 7 days!!! Took her for a walk round to the lake with Gav and lou lou - twas really cool! Saw Reading play the saints on friday which was good fun, especially as I made more money out of them in two bets! (Lita to score first and reading to win 2-0) ;o) That brings my total earnings up to 140 squid! Felt lucky so bought a few lottery tickets on the way home. Hmmmm, its on now... but they're playing some silly game rather than pulling balls..... I'll update sometime later with my winnings :oP

Valentines night approaches... I think I'm gonna cook something really really nice, I've got my menu sorted, but who shall I share it with ;o) You decide...

3rd blog entry.... don't feel like my heart's in this anymore!

Well quite a lot of things have happened since my last blog, only a few inches below this one! Most of which I wont go into but hey, there have been ups and downs. Biggest up has been a new arrival of my little niece, Nicole. Well thats enough for now... more to come maybe, if I can be bothered. See you soon.

2nd blog entry... starting to slow down already

Well, this is my second blog entry, nothing really that interesting to talk about. Especially the football. Makes me wonder why i'm even blogging at all... Does anyone actually read this?!? Are they as sad as me for writing it? Who knows... Anywho, just thought I'd make an appearance.

One small blog for man, One giant trip for maple-kind

Well then gelder made me do it.....

I've posted my first blog.... now i'm getting scared..... time to go!

Out to Lunch
