The life of an addict day 3

Arrghh just ooone more lap of project gotham racing! I’ve become an addict already playing it over xbox live! For two days upon returning home from work I have played for hours non stop and completely forgotten to eat some dinner. It’s so bad that I may not even work this weekend, must get a faster car!

Xbox 360 withdrawal symptoms

Feel cold and sweaty while I await my VGA cable from play.com, just so I can actually use the sodding console on my decent TFT screens instead of a piddly 14" TV with a mono speaker. It’s so bad that I cannot bear to play Project Gotham Racing 3 in such horrible fashion. Urgh! Bring on Tuesday 13th!

Some photo’s of the devastation that occured at the depot in Hemel Hempstead.

Sleeping through a Fuel Depot explosion…

So, I’m snoozing away at 06:00 this Sunday morning completely unaware that half my street had woken up to the sound of a thunderous explosion. Houses as far as Watford shook, and I’ve no idea about ours but I somehow assumed it was the phone ringing so I went back to sleep. Meanwhile my father is running around thinking there was a car crash outside due to the colossal fog. The Fuel Depot in exploded sending out plumes of smoke which could be seen for miles. Photo’s can be found at Flickr!

Update!

I’m still busy making changes to the blog, as well as learning about PHP and other malarky to modify various files here and there. Now that December is here, I’ve suddenly got myself a crisis! Too much to do, and bugger all time to do it!

Five Xmas parties from work alone!
Still have to buy presents!
Still have yet to send out xmas cards!
Still can’t find a flamin Xbox 360! – Got one!
Still need to find a nice black, dark and dangerous shirt to buy for said xmas party…
Electricity, Phone and Gas bill arrived this morning.

Oh and because it’s all cold over here in the Uk, getting a bus on time that isn’t packed to bursting is about as hard as finding an Xbox 360 right now. Packed with squabbling children who get in for free, packed with old people and their giant zimmer frames or buggy things, either that or it’s packed with women shoppers who carry around half of Harrods in their hands! Don’t you just love December?
