Other Blogs
Since it is my Blogs Birthday today I thought I would make my blog feel proud with itself.
So I decided to find the shittiest blog on the Internet ever. I think I found it too. So as a present to my blog I give you "The Shittiest Blog Ever" (Warning: Gross and probably NSFW)
Now how shit is that? Maybe I could start to take daily photo's of stuff too.
Hmmmm? Has got me thinking. Any ideas :-) JOKE!

It's My Birthday
Well it's not exactly my Birthday today but to be more precise it's my blogs Birthday.
Yes it is 2 years old today. I started it on the 27th October 2003 (for those of you who couldn't work that out for yourselves). I can't believe I am still doing it. It has gone through loads of changes and has had some problems but one thing that hasn't ever changed is the black background and red text. I don't know anyone who actually likes the colour scheme apart from me but hey! It's my blog :-)
Here's to two more years!

Cunning Stunt
Better be careful how you pronounce that title!
Say it out loud and quickly and i'm sure you get my meaning.
Anyway, on with the post. I tried this game and managed to score 1772.61 meters.
Why not see if you can beat that. Bet you play it for freaken ages too :-)
Just to prove my score ('cos I know you would want me to) I have taken a screen shot for you. You can see it here.
So go and play Kid Canyon's Cunning Stunt now and let me know if you can beat my high score. Also let me know how long it took you :-)

Cleanliness
Here's one for you. I seem to fill my washing machine up twice a week. That seems far too much for a single guy doesn't it? I get home after work put on a T-Shirt and Jeans, wear them for one night and then throw them in the wash basket. Ok I might wear my jeans for 2 nights in a row. What I want to know is:
What is the acceptable amount of times you can wear your clothes before you wash them?
Go on, tell me what you people do. Are you like me or will you wear your clothes for a whole month before you think about cleaning them?
I know I have some students that read this, so it should be quite funny.

Rat Man
What would you do if you came face to face with a real life Rat Man? You would probably react a little like this bloke did but hopefully with a more butch scream (if you are a bloke of course)
This is another set up from Scare Tactics. It isn't quite as good as the Bigfoot one but comes in a close second.
It had me in stitches, so take a look at the Rat Man Movie and see what you think.

Friends
I don't normally put stuff like this on my site but I just received one of those chain email thingy's. The ones that ask you to forward them on to 20 people in your address book and it will give you good luck in 24 hours or something. (I don't do that by the way) Well this one hit a nerve so I thought I would share it with you. Just hits a bit close to home for me in more ways than one. Probably isn't a true story but I know stuff like this does actually happen.
So after cleaning the email up from all those 1000's of >>>>>>> and correcting the layout, you can read it in the extended entry.
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend’s tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives."
He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends
He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
"He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
When we were seniors, we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
"Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began.
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mum and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

Ethnicity, Religion and Pot Heads
Surfing the web and found something quite interesting just now.
Went on to the governments statistics site and found that in the 2001 census for England and Wales there were 390127 people who said their Ethnicity and Religion was Jedi
You've just got to love the English humour sometimes :-)
Now one for any Pot heads out there.
For years Mums and Dads have been telling their kids that smoking Pot kills brain cells and make s you thick. Well get a load of this Mums and Dads. Tests have showed that it can actually help the brain grow larger! I love science me :-)
So my conclusion on this post is:
Smoke marijuana and become a Jedi. Xlnt.

Rhetundo Island
Right then, here we go with latest game. I will warn you that it is bloody hard though. It involves a fair bit of clicking and a load of swearing. I will be impressed if anyone manages to sus it out.
The one thing you will have to do before you can play it, is download the latest version of Flash Player. Flash Player 7 doesn't work with the game so go and get yourself Flash Player 8. It is free and you might as well stay up to date anyway.

River IQ
This has had me stumped for a while, so I thought it is the exact right thing to put on my site to annoy all of you lot too :-)
The instructions are:
1. Only two people on the raft at any time.
2. At least one person is needed to operate the raft.
3. Mum can't be left alone with the boys. (as in, without the Father)
4. Dad can't be left alone with the girls. (as in, without the Mother)
5. The thief can't be left alone with anyone unless the policeman is there.
6. Only mum, dad and the policeman can operate the raft.
Click on this link, then the blue circle to start. Click on the people you want to put on the raft and then click on the pole on the opposite bank to make the raft sail.
Have fun...... NOT!!!!!!!!

Mammalian Protuberances
Ahhhhhhh, it's Friday again.
The start of the weekend. What will this weekend bring I wonder?
Hope it will be as good as the last one.
Tonight should be a good laugh as I am going to a race night. (Must remember to get some cash out) The night consists of drinking, eating and gambling. I don't know whether you have been to one before but basically you buy a horse or put some money on one and you watch a film of a race. If you win you get a little bit of cash back. It's a real laugh but can get quite expensive too. Depends on how pissed you get really. So looks like it is going to be an expensive one for me tonight!
I know someone who wont be spending much money tonight and that is Rob. Reason being is that it is his last day in his "Mega Comp" job and he has his leaving do tonight. Hope you have a good one tonight mate. Sorry I can't be there. I will have a few drinks for you though :-)
Good luck with the new job.
And now for a classic:
Man Utd T-Shirt: £38.
Computer for daughter: £775.
Dad accidentally walking in while his daughter gets her mammalian protuberances* out on webcam:
Priceless (Click on image to enlarge)
* Tit's for those of you who didn't know. £1 on a horse tonight to the first person who can tell me where I got that phrase from :-)

I am alive
Honest, I am alive. I have just been really bogged down with stuff recently. What with work and the house etc.
I now have a lodger who has moved in, that will make the mortgage repayments a lot easier to pay. Some of you know who it is, it's Tony P from the Mary's.
The bank haven't quite yet told me what is going on with the mortgage but they assure me I will know by the 21st of this month. I can't possibly stay on this variable rate mortgage. It's murder, put it this way I am paying close to £2000 a month at the moment! That will go way down once I fix it (hopefully).
What else has been happening? Erm? Oh yes, my Brother had some bad news this weekend. He brought a horse a month ago and has just had to put it down. It's front leg was kicked by another Horse and it was broken. The vet could do nothing to save the poor critter. How sad is that? You break a leg and have to be put down because of it.
Anyway, just wanted you guys to know I was still around.
Now for something a little more amusing.
I give you "The chastity belt of the 21st Century".

Blue Screen
Have been working non stop today. Plodding away with the more technical side of my job. Basically calculations and a lot of them. I was writing them onto a word document for hours. 7 to be precise. Then what happens? The dreaded Windows Blue Screen comes up. "Windows has suffered a severe problem and had to be shut down"
FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I nearly had a heart attack. Sat there with mt head in my hands for 10 minutes.
Hoping I had saved the work. Started windows back up, opened the file I was working on and..................
Was it there?
YES THANK FUCK
Luckily I have a habit of pressing the save button every ten minutes.
Now I am going home 'cos that was too much to handle.
Byeeeeeeeeeee.

Just a little bit of useless information for you guys.
Just because I found out.
Did you know that in most watch advertisements, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10 so it makes it look like it's smiling.
