Back once again. . . !

New Year - New Post!

Better late than never I suppose. My last post of 2005 was a sad one, announcing as it did the sad death of my Grandad. That was back in November and of course since then we've had the festivities of Christmas and the coming of a brand new year to contend with. Blimey, that was hard work!

Hello you!!

Bloody hell, thanks to all this livejournal related shenanigans the worlds gettin smaller by the minute!

Nice to hear from you (and that you remember little old me - as I recall we spent most of our formative years either asleep, hidden in a cloud of smoke or obscured by tubes of Pringles. . . ), I'm living up North in Warrington now and working for IBM in Manchester. Don't give me that look, I need the money. I shacked up with an impoverished musician more's the pity and am reliant on the Man to pay the bills. Despite all this I am still an outrageous techno-weenie and in fact my fella and I met when he was attempting wrestle my hapless laptop into working after I had royally messed it up. . . again.

Consider yourself friended!!

Alright sarky-chops, my techno-weenieness has never been in question! However I must admit I've now personally repented against PCs completely and embraced the sheer joy that is a stable unix based operating system - Apple's OSX. You can have my Stinkpad but you'll never get my ibook!!

You're lucky with the memory, personally I've found that great swathes of my memories seem to have been burnt from existance. I kind of jump from age 19 (I remember first meeting you and Jon round the back of the hungry horse (the Beacon?) pub in South Ham upon which you immediately corrupted me. . . if you know what I mean hur hur) to age 24 where I find myself in a tattoo studio in Reading being scarred for life by a nice man named Ian. . .

Perhaps its for the best.

I never touched the PS3, honest. I was no where near at the time. You can't prove nothin ha!

The North isn't so bad, its just full of scallies (Northern chavs), and they eat mushy peas and put gravy on their chips. Weirdos.

Hows Reading working out for ya?

Hee, I expected a derogatory Mac comment. I heard all the arguments for and against, made my decision and will never go back! I don't even know 'how' to turn the ibook off. . . I've never needed to. Still I guess it helps that my guy is a bit of a geek (last night he attempted to explain binary to me and was met by a looong blank stare), used to build his own PCs and all that then opened his own recording studio, for which the mac is pretty much industry standard equipment. He was a hesitant convert but has grown to love those fruity little pooters. Being a geek he of course now knows everything about em so my questions are immediately answered - manual, what manual ( ... )

It is a bit of a trek to Reading, but one which I have to make about once a month. Although I'm working for IBM in Manchester, my team is still based in Basingstoke you see and I have to come back for monthly team meetings. I usally stay at my Aunt's house just on the outskirts of Reading (Shinfield).

Therefore I've cultivated a massive loathing of the M6 and M40 motorways but at least I get paid expenses for the trip!
