Note:
Just a quick message from me. Have been going through a bad time recently and haven't been inspired enough to put up anything here. I am going to take a break from everything so will be back in a couple of weeks. Hopefully a little more re-charged :-)

Panty Pulling
You've heard of Happy Slapping. Now let me introduce you to the Japanese version. It's called Panty Pulling. Seems a little put on to me but I will let you make up your own minds. If it is real then I think there is going to be a bit of trouble in Japan soon. Still, it is quite funny to watch.

Technology
Don't you just love it? I certainly do. I just love gadgets. I couln't live without my computer or mobile phone. I know quite a few people who do hate it though. The older generation for example. No not all of them, even my Grandad has an email address, but the majority of them I would imagine. How many of you have heard people saying something along the lines of "We used to manage without them so why do we need them now?". Well there is quite a simple answer to that. Because we can.
I mean, could you imagine the world without computers and mobile phones?
There are so many people out there that simply don't know how to use a computer. I can understand how daunting it must be to them as well sometimes.
Just recently I have come across 2 examples of this. Two things that should have been easy and straight forward to sort out.
The first being my mobile phone. I am trying to set it up so I can send emails. I go into the "setup email" I enter all the required fields, you know the ones? Username, password, pop3, incoming server etc etc. Then I try to send a test email. Nothing happens. So I call my isp and they can't help me either.
The second is really sad. I need to update my subscription service to "Symantec Norton anti Virus". Now what could be hard about that? Have done it loads of times before. So I click on the update subscription button. Sounds easy. Up comes a screen saying something like "enter your Subscription Key. If you don't have one then please call this number." So I put my subscription key in and press "NEXT".
Sorry key invalid!!!!!!!! AAARGHHHHHHHH!
Mind you, I had had a few to drink :-)
Technology! Don't you just love it?

Moving Again
Well it looks as though my blog will be changing again. So in the last 2 weeks I have been using Blogger, Movable Type and now I am going to change over to Wordpress.
I have been mucking about with Wordpress today and it does seem the way forward. For one, I can get all my old comments back. I just have to redesign the thing again now.
Stay tuned and watch this space. Mind you if I do it correctly, then no-one should notice much change anyway.

I was right
It was a mad weekend after all.
My head is thumping today.
Friday was a reasonably quiet one really. Went down the Local and then back to my place for a few drinks. Only thing that went a little pair shaped was the fact that I had 2 bottles of gin on the bar and one of my Uncles mates thought that one of the bottles was Tonic water. So he was pouring triple gins into a glass and topping them up with even more gin! No wonder I was pissed. We managed to crash out at 3am.
Saturday was the real session. Went down to the Goose on the Green at 6pm then off to The Bistro Soleil for dinner. That was xlnt. Then up to the Mary's and back to my place for another party. Can't really tell you what the party was like. Let's just say most of us had a good time :-) That finished at about 7:30am. I did take some photo's of that one which you can find here
Sunday was the day that finished me off. Down to the Old Court House at about 2pm then off to the Moulin de L'Ecq then the Prince of Wales then back to the Moulin. By then we were all worse for wear and decided to go to mine for a "Life of Brian" and Chinese Take out night.
That was it. Now they are back in England and I am left with the scars.
Roll on next weekend :-)

Mad Weekend
The weekend is once again upon us. Looks as though it is going to be a good one again too.
Firstly I want to wish Robert a Happy Birthday for today. Hope you have a good weekend mate.
Now on with the weekend plans. My Uncle has come over to Jersey this morning with 3 of his mates. They are staying at my place for the weekend. They are all into having a nice party as you can probably tell by the photo's from the last time they stayed.
Don't know what the plans are for tonight but I am sure it will include a beer or 23. Tomorrow we are going out for lunch down St Aubin way and then up to St Marys Country Inn and then probably a party back at mine. Then Sunday is probably lunch and more of a session.
You may notice I keep saying probably, this is because nothing is planned we will just go with the flow.
Wish me luck. I will try and get some photo's of us lot this weekend.
Hope you all have a good weekend.

Terrorism
It's sick, just plain sick.
Who gets hurt? The innocent.
What a bunch of deluded chicken shits they really are.
Nuff said.

Olympics 2012
We won the bid for the Olympics in 2012. Now that is great news. I do feel sorry for France though. I mean all the effort they went to and all. I really feel sorry for the merchandise team too. They are going to have one hell of a job getting rid of all those T-Shirts.

Want to kill somebody?
So you'd like to... KILL SOMEONE, and get away with it (Maybe).
Well if the statement above is how you fell then it seems that Amazon in the U.S.A can help you out. You can buy books on How to Kill people, Hiring Hit men (if you're a punk and can't be bothered to do the dirty work yourself) and buying special sheeting to cover the carpets so no blood spots can be traced once the dirty has been done. That pesky luminol can detect blood anywhere, no matter how hard you clean! They have loads more stuff besides.
It can only happen at Amazon.com

Road Block
It's about time I gave you guys a game really. I came across this really annoying one the other day called Roadblock. I know you will like it. It will annoy you but you will all finish it. 22 levels in all. Have fun.
Level 20 is the easiest.

Here it is
The T-Shirt for 2005. It has the normal logo with '05 and 40th for the Rats anniversary. With the letters C.R.A.F.T at the bottom. It will be printed on a white T-Shirt. There are 2 reasons for that. The first being it is cheaper to have white and the second is last time we had black ones and they were too bloody hot in the sun :-)
Hope you like!

Shirts Done
Ok, I had to do them in extra quick time :) They look good. Well they are a similar design to the "bRATS" design really, go figure! I have put up a poster in the Mary's for anyone who wants to order one, please go and fill it in if you want one. Or alternatively (Big word and probably spelt it wrong) you can order them online on the Jersey bRats website! I need to get these in pretty quickly, so please don't delay. I will put a pic of them up on the bRats website tomorrow.

Mobile Stuff
It's Friday, I have finished my work in time and now I have time to muck about a bit before I piss off home. Am going to finish the T-Shirt this afternoon (hopefully) but before that, I have other important stuff to do. Like get some really sad sounds put on my mobile. I have been searching on the Find Sounds Webite. What an xlnt site, anyway I have got quite a few now, so I can really annoy people tonight. Here are some of them:
Orgasm
R2D2
Star Trek Communicator
See what I mean? How annoying am I going to be?
Also I want to just say congratulations to Sararararah for getting the degree results that she wanted. Will no doubt see you up the pub tonight for a drink :-)
Now to go and do some T-Shirt designing.
