My Dad found a baby Finch in the orchard yesterday, must have fallen out of the nest I guess! Such a shame, we took it in anyway, popped him in a box and gave him a few bits of worm my Dad had liberally torn apart. He lasted till the afternoon, guess he could have been outside for a while with no food e.t.c.
Anyway, at got a few really good photos out of it, so at least there's something that came of it. Cute little guy eh?

YBF
How crap is You've Been Framed nowadays? Oh, right, just me that actually watches it in the first place?
It is the only thing on TV on a Saturday night when I'm having tea (steak night wooo), so its that or nothing, I'm seriously considering silence over YBF though.
Non of the clips they play are new anymore, I have seen them all before and this fact is getting very boring. I myself have sent clips into YBF (us messing around at cadets) and one of my clips was shortlisted, but did they hell ever play it.
No, we have to put up with that stupid guy who crys while saying his wedding voes (seen it 4 times) or the budgie that sings The Adams Family theme song (seen it 3 times). Not to mention the endless 'fake' clips, not just 'fake', but OBVIOUSLY 'fake'
Can't ITV just put a blank screen and some music on for 1 hour to fill the time before the half decent TV starts? Vernon Kay's Game show Marathon is at least decent TV, especially when they do Bullseye!!!!

Politicians are dame con-artists
Jezz these guys piss me off, why don't any of them answer the questions they are asked. Did anyone see the Jeremy Paxmon feature today? Chatting about the house of commons trying to make themselves exempt from the freedom of information act, haha, isn't that just THE biggest load of crap you have EVER heard in your life!!!?!?! I could write a book on how loony that is, how contradictory and object defeating.
Anyway, this MP 'knob-jockey' was waffling on about how the new bill would stop people getting access to private letters sent in by members of the public, which is apparently already covered under law AND was the only thing he had to say for the whole interview. But he just ignored any question directed towards the fact that the new bill would ALSO make it impossible to find out all the 'tax-paid business trips' these guys go on each year, or how many million they spend on stamps selling stuff on eBay every year (stuff they nick when they go round Tony's house "genuine toilet paper used by the PM".
So yeh, that wound me up, why should these guys be voting on a bill to cover their arses, if only half of them weren't bent as the top of a lamppost, then it might get blocked!

Thanks for honest people
Just got back from Uni, and thank goodness there are still honest people in this world.
I had just left Uni and was about 5 mins down the road (driving), suddenly realised I had left my dame mobile in the shared computer room!!! I eventually got back to Uni after being stuck behind some old guy going at 30mph in a 50, and found my phone was no where to be seen, but a bag had been left at the same computer I was using.
So I made my way to the Computer Science office to see if someone had just handed it in, the lady at the office said there was nothing at all. But just behind me a girl also came into the office saying she was looking for a Martin Moores doing the systems analysis and design course!
My lucky day hey, so I said "well that's me!!!", she gave me my phone and I thanked her profusely.
It turns out she had found my phone, found the "Home" number in there, rang it of her own phone and chatted to my Dad, who told her my name and course e.t.c. My Dad forgot what course i was doing, so just read the title off an assignment sheet from my desk at home, hence the "Systems Analysis and Design".
I'm gutted I didn't get the girls name (calm down Sarah), just so I could give her a proper thanks in an email or something, but I didn't, so this will have to do. But the honesty and the fact that she even used her own phone to ring my house amazed me.
So thank you so much, to the girl in the red leather jacket (I think that's what it was).

The 'Clever' Eggheads
Anyone seen that naff quiz show, The Eggheads?
The brains of Britain compete against joe public to win a cash prize.
Trouble is, its completely fixed and obviously so. The competitors have the choice of which Egghead they play against, they choose based on the topic that has been selected for that round, supposidly picking the weaker player in that area.
So, whenever geography comes up, they always choose CJ (the gay one) to play against, he just so happens to be the best player at geography, whats all that about?!?!?!
And all the Eggheads are so dame cocky, they don't just know everything, they know they know everything and all of the questions that everyone else gets, its so irritating, their whole facial expressions when someone else doesn't know a question, "What an idiot, everyone knows that!"

Phew, home straight
Well blog watchers (Sarah), I know you've been awaiting my next post, so here it is
I have honestly been busy, too bust to even write a small blog entry, so here's a bit of catching up, not too much has happened really.
Firstly, Sarah's birthday present went well, I can now say it was a digital photo frame! Being inspired by the great people at Custom PC when they did an article on DIY digital photo frames made out of old laptops. So I got a custom frame made in Northwich, got a laptop and wireless card off eBay and with some help from my Dad (thanks Dad!!) it all works great, but will write a full review of that asap.
Apart from that, I've had two coursework handins last week, pretty confident about those, ones was databases which I've been doing for dissertation anyway, so that should be cool, the other was Fulfilment and Logistics, which like a few of my modules has little if anything to do with IT, but hey, it went ok.
So, now its just dissertation, who said you can't do the whole thing in 2 weeks? Well not quite, but it has doubled in size in that time, just polishing a few things off now, have sent what I have done so far to my tutor, hopefully will get some feedback from that. Just got to print and bind it, hand in is 12:00 on Thursday.
After that, few more assignments, 1 exam, then on the 5th of June, I FINISH!!!!!!!
17 years of education comes to a close, now that, I can't wait for.
Finally, I'd like to finish with a question, remind me why we all hate 'chavs'?
Oh yeh, because 4 of them just blew it past my house on the 'mile straight' at fuck knows what speed, side by side racing each other. I hope you all crash and burn, save the innocent people whos lives you are sure to ruin before you wake up, grow up and get a fucking life!!!
Rant ends

Dettol, FACT
I'm really surprised the NHS hasn't struck a deal with the makers of Dettol (household cleaner) for either the secret behind the product or some kind of mass purchase, it would solve a whole number of problems that might stop it going downhill. Quoting from the Dettol advert:
"Dettol kills MRSA, the flu virus.........."
WOW, that's quite a claim to make, no one else seems to have sussed how to kill MRSA yet, its killing all these people, plaguing the wards, yet a quick spray round with Dettol can sort it right out!
Lucky Welsh people for tomorrow with the smoking ban coming in, roll on the rest of Britain (only England left now!).
