2005 Archives

Reinstalled my PC last night.

This is different. My best score is 1764.

Lifted from Mark A's Blog.

I took my nephew to watch the WWE Friday Night Smackdown tapings last night.

This made me laugh.

How fast can you punch the monkey? 315mph is my best.

This is cool and tricky. My highest score is 17130, on level 6.

A collection of Comic Strips.

Just recently changed the processor in my PC.

Tasha, my dog, had a stroke over the weekend.

The new American TV season is upon us.

How tired am I?

Drove down to Manchester yesterday afternoon.

This made me laugh.

The Stupidest Things!

Finally got round to buying Half-Life 2 today.

Wanna listen to some music over the internet?

Taking a leaf out of Mark's book I've completed my own version of his meme. Going through the list there wasn't much that really sucked in 1988 and there was at least 3 or 4 I could've picked as my favourite.

WWE are touring the UK in November and I'm taking my nephew to see Smackdown live in Sheffield on Tuesday 22nd November; the same week as the next Blackpool Pub Meet.

September 19th sees the release of a new album from Queen.

Just upgraded to MT 3.2 and what a pain in the neck it was to do.

BT upgraded my local exchange yesterday. So, a quick phonecall to PlusNet and 2mb broadband goodness for free, well £21.99 actually, which is £8 less than I was paying for 1mb.

Just added a 3rd hard drive to my system.

Taking a leaf from mcphee. I made a quiz too.

Take my Quiz! and then Check out the Scoreboard!

I'm home and had a great weekend.

Had a knock in my car today.

Drove down to Folkestone yesterday.

Less than a month after my Mom dies and both my sisters have ended up on the same ward.

I finished work early yesterday to go and see Rammstein in Newcastle.

Yesterday was my first day back at work.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of children.
- William Makepeace Thackeray, 1811 - 1863

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.

My mom passed away this morning.

I thought I had a handle on it until I wrote that line...

Download was just as good this year as last year; if not better.

It's the Download Festival this weekend.

Meh! Who cares?

With the General Election just around the corner I thought people might be interested in a Political Survey.

Drove down to Donnington on Sunday to watch the BTCC (Touring Cars). Was pretty much a good day; fine weather and some good racing. Saw 3 rounds of BTCC, a Seat race, a Renault Clio race, a Porsche Carrera race, a Formula Renault race (slighty smaller version of F1 or F3), and a drift/slide demonstration.

Been rather busy the last month and a half; especially with the end of the financial year. Lot's of preperation work for the year-end audit; and I got a pay rise and promotion. Although promotion is probably a misnomer; it's just a change in Pay Grade.

Came across a techie blog yesterday; whilst searching for a code for Sky+ on the One-For-All handsets. It's called Tech Digest. Pretty good reading.

My uncle died today; he was in hi mid-60s.

Back from London.

Will be travelling to London in just under a week to see Rammstein. Driving down Saturday morning/afternoon, going to the gig Saturday evening, staying overnight in a hotel and travelling back Sunday morning/afternoon. Really looking forward to the gig, not looking forward to driving through Central London on a Saturday afternoon.

Well, 2004 has been consigned to the history books and 2005 is now upon us.
