So, following on, today I head out to Kia Autworld Service and Repair centre, with the strict intent on getting my little bulb problem fixed. My mum, who the car belongs to and is in her name, phoned up and booked in so that I could arrive about 9-ish, and hopefully be a short while and I could be on my merry way. So this morning, I had to wake up ( Read more... )

I just got back from Ruth's BBQ (which was very fun, but more on that tomorrow) but I just had a small panic because the police pulled me over at 12:30am. I was rather scared to say the least, as I've never been pulled over before. I knew I wasn't speeding, but I saw a van in my rear view mirror after passing him by, but when he flashed his sirens ( Read more... )

I was just gonna head off to the land of nod, but thought I would randomly spend two minutes here before I drop off. Tonight was spent completely unproductively - I didn't get any work done whatsoever, so I'll have to make up for that tomorrow and the day after. I watched another episode of Battlestar (can't get enough!) and played through a bit of ( Read more... )

Eck, if I hadn't posted today, I would have ruined my excellent record of at least one post each day since the 13th. Actually, you know what? That's really, really sad, and quite depressing too, actually. Ah well, ne'er mind. Yesterday was damned good - I woke up late, I had a nice pub lunch, I drove around in my mum's car for the first time, I got ( Read more... )

So, I'm finally catching up on my X-Files watching at last. Gone past 4x1 Herrenvolk, which is always cool thanks to Jeremiah (Does anybody remember my Sims character, Jeremiah Smith - he rocked! - quite literally, since his profession was rock musician) and the Alien Bounty Hunter. And now I've just watched 4x2 Home, which is probably the must foo ( Read more... )

One word: murnival. Randomness sure is sweet. And so, without further adieu:Even after losing three vital limbs, he was no less determined. Gambling certainly wasnt his forté, nor were cards, nor was money-handling. He was playing poorly, and on top of that, he failed to realise that the "Laws of Squibble-di-gabber" aren't actually rules at all - ( Read more... )

I'm not your puppet squealed the now-empty Coca Cola bottle to the Mr Sheen polish, before eviscerating the curtains of their pompoms. Of course, this was only the beginning of what would now collectively be referred to as the end of the start.

Looks like Gee-man is off even more, which ( Read more... )

Damnit, I got up early at 8, to be ready for (yet another) driving lesson at 9.15. Waited. Waited. Once it got to 9.30, I decided to ring up the office to ask what time it was. No answer. Waited. Waited. At 9.45 I rang again, "Your lesson is at 4.15." What the foo? Blast! Someone got me up really early for nothing! I could have been sleeping ( Read more... )

So, lately, things aint been going quite right. I can only hope I've had my fair share of unluck for the time being. So, yesterday was going pretty well. I drove to Buxton, I drove around Buxton, I did some maneuvers in Buxton. I had lunch in Buxton, I prepared myself in Buxton. And then, I went to the driving test center in Buxton. One person left ( Read more... )

FUCK FUCK FUCK. No I didn't fail my fucking driving test, I never even fucking had a fucking fucketyfuckfuck driving test. Fuck. Fucking DSA! No fucking examiner even fucking turned up! And now I've got fucking pay even more fucking money for fucking future fucking driving lessons and write angry fucking letters to complain and get a fucking ( Read more... )
