Confessions of a Dibberous Mind

Aight peeps? My parents are in town!! It seems that they got here on Thursday night but they haven't said anything. They are currently staying in a caravan park in Gowerton and hanging out with my brother and his family. I will no doubt be seeing them tomorrow because I HAVE A DAY OFF!! THREE ACTUALLY!! Then I have a 10 day stretch so things could get pretty stale in here . Che has finally hit Seattle after a trek across the US so, with a bit of luck, I'll be hearing about her adventures pretty soon. Joe and me were a little worried for a while because she was late checking in but we know she's safe so all is cool. It'll be good to have her back - the entertainment value index has gone up a few more points already . The blog over at W+B seems to be a success but, as the majority of people who care about it also read this, I will repeat that THIS is my blog so don't bank on the other one being updated as often as you would like. It'll never be the life-j...

Oooh 'eck!! I have just won a new blog on the weebl + bob website!! Don't panic though - it won't be updated as often as this one and it'll be filled with pap. Once I have the link I'll stick it up on the left. I didn't expect to get one to be honest but I seem to be a little more popular than I though. I left a particularly fawning message to everyone who voted for me. I've done very little in the last 24 hours so I don't have much to say. I have thought about my finacial position for the month and I think I'm covered so that is now off my mind and I have made an appointment to see my solicitor so the house will be sorted out on Monday. Don't feel cheated though because here, as promised, is the story of the Swansea Night-Team Night-Out: Apologies to anyone with a dial-up modem - This will be picture heavy... Due to the nature of shift work some of us had to work the previous night so the plan for the evening was: 2pm - Meet up in...

It's still sinking in... Me a home-owner? It sounds strange. I'm officially old! I can't help thinking about things like " the future " and " my place in the world " and I'm not used to it. I wouldn't say that my motto has ever been "Live fast - die young" but I have always thought of myself as a teenager especially throughout my twenties. I have to admit I'm kind of pleased about it because I have reached another goal that I had set for myself. To be absolutely honest I have only just realised that and it's put a smile on my face. My plan was always something like: Age Goal 16 - Pass GCSEs with straight A's and go to do my A-Levels 18 - University to do Micro-biology 25(ish) - Good job in Food Technology 30 - Move into first house with wife/long-term partner 33 - I'll probably be dead by then (bloody hell that's old) Obviously it kept getting revised and became: Age Goal 1...

Blimey!! Ok I have a lot to say but very little time to say it. I'll do a proper Night Team Booze-up entry as soon as I possibly can but there is other stuff to get through here. I think it's sufficient to say that the night out was a success and I got lots of photos. I got back from the booze-up and fell into bed. I had only had about 3 hours sleep before going out so I thought that I'd better catch up so I'd be refreshed for the start of the day-shift. I went to sleep at 2am, woke up briefly and thought "ok, I've proably slept in but I'll just get a few more minutes", went back to sleep and woke up fully at 4:30am - I had had 2 and a half hours sleep. I tried to go to sleep at various points during the day but I just couldn't get off - the result was that I spent the entire 8 hours of training yawning and being dull and lifeless. I suppose that's what most people look like while they are being trained though. Cut to this morning - I ...

Ooops, it's Monday... I missed out on the blog for yesterday because I had to reformat my computer. It's a boring reason I know but I had to do it. One of the most frusrating things about being "good with computers" is that it is almost impossible to be good at everything computational. I am great when it comes to the interweb and most other IT things and I can hold my own in conversations about uber-geek stuff like Linux. The trouble is, when it comes to other stuff I fall flat. It drives me up the wall when the PC starts doing odd things and I can't work out why but I refuse to get any help that can't be found on the information super-traffic jam. The net result of this is that I find myself having to format and reinstall Windows every few months. My big problem at the moment is that I can't get my DV camera to capture video to my PC which kind of negates the value of owning one. I have got quite a lot of blank tapes but if I don't start ca...
