The APC Song

For those of you who were fans of the JCB Song released in the UK over Xmas, and also those of you who play Battlefield 2, you'll want to check out this video. It's pretty damn funny, especially if your a FPS geek, a bit like me...

A Real Live Ninja!

Yeah, a real live ninja! Living and breathing like everyone else! Well, not everyone else, if we all lived and breathed like him, then he wouldn't be anything special and no one would ever get anything done, we'd be too busy jumping off stuff and doing cool flips and things. There'd be no food, no new building, no money, no tv, no computer games. Phew, it's a good job we're not all like him isn't it?

Check out the footage here!

House Stress

I know people say buying a house is stressful, but I think that mainly comes from people trying to screw you over all the time.

Viv had been in a bit of a flid the last few days, as we've just found out we have to pay Stamp Duty. Now I know this is also normal, however when we first agreed to buy this place and put down a deposit, the first letter we received from our solicitor told us we wouldn't have to pay this. That was because we were in a 'Disadvantaged Area'. Well it turns out that was bollocks, and we do have to pay it after all.

So suddenly we have to come with £1300 and we can't back out of buying the house now as we have already exchanged contracts, meaning we now legally HAVE to buy the house.

So you can see where the stress is coming from.

Needless to say we are having words with our solicitors about this, although we're probably gonna have to get the money from somewhere.

I'm sure it'll all work out though...

I am Evil

It's official, I'm Pure Evil!


How evil are you?

This has only served to confirm my suspicions, the true extent of my evilness will be revealed over the coming weeks as my plans come to fruition...

Ooops, I've said too much!

Illness sucks

Yeah, I've been ill since last Tuesday. I got a bit of a cold on Monday, which turned into a full blown daddy cold on Tuesday. So I got to stay at home and watch crap on the TV while everyone else had to go to work. I was feeling better by Thursday, but stayed off work as I was still feeling rough in the mornings. I didn't drink on Friday, leading to one of the weirdest nights I've had in a while. Then I drank on Saturday night.

Today I was feeling a little bad, but I reckon it's probably just because I can't be arsed to go to work again. But here I am. Well now I'm catching up on emails and my reading, forums, blogs and suchlike. I still don't have much work to do though, guess that's a reason not to feel too guilty about missing work :)

False Alarm

Yep, that's right. It seems I've been hit by a bunch of fees I had no idea we were supposed to be paying. In fact up to this point we didn't even know they existed! I'm sure they're making this up, I mean, why should we be paying the seller's solicitor's fees? They're nothing to do with us, if they want to sell the fucking place, they can damn well pay their end of it.

A few other things have 'gone missing' from our contracts, or have been 'forgotten', so Viv is phoning them up to find stuff out.

Update: As I was writing this I got a phone call from Viv and it turns out most of what we were worrying about has in fact been sorted. We now have a much cheaper mortgage and our repayments are about £50 less per month! Hello Sky TV! :)

On a better note check this out, Best. Game. Ever. Zombies Vs Ambulances

Plus I just told Viv Metallica were playing at Download Festival this year and she nearly wet herself, had a stroke and collapsed, but instead only wet herself a little.

What Would *Insert chosen Gods name here* Have Done?

I found This articleposted on the LSN Forums, as people had been discussing the recent muslim reactions to those Dannish Cartoons. Personally I don't see the problem, it's not like other religions don't regularly get the piss taken out of them.

But the article provides an interesting muslim viewpoint on the incident, both on the cartoons and the reaction to them. It's well worth a read, even if it is just to reassure yourself that not all muslims are going to try and kill someone.
