I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve had very little time to write up my weekly thoughts let alone anything else. At work I am training other people to do some of my jobs in order to take the pressure off me, which leaves me mentally exhausted towards the end of the day! Right now there is a critical situation where one of our products has started failing horribly - as there’s a multi million dollar contract for this item, sorting out the issues has made it a top priority for me.

As Season 3 of this ultra boring, overhyped up series gets closer, the parodies are already hitting video sites around the net. Here’s one of my favourite ones I’ve stumbled across, featuring the legend that is Locke! What a guy!
What next? Neon colours?
So, here I am pondering as to why the new current trend for electronic gadgets, is to have them PINK. I mean, it’s a crap colour, is an eyesore and will NOT attract members of the opposite sex, if that should happen then they’ve clearly escaped from the loony asylum. I cannot even comprehend to understand who would buy such items, let alone why.
So, recently of late there has been quite a few toys appearing in pink form:
A Pink Playstation 2
A Pink Playstation Portable (PSP)
A Pink DS Lite
and a Pink Creative Zen Vision:M
There was a time when white was the cool in thing after the flood of iPods, but now that has been replaced by the most pathetic colour ever. It’s not fashionable, it sucks and anyone who uses such a colour is a pleb. So, if you know of any gadgets that have recently gone PINK, let me know. Let’s name and shame them!
Went shopping earlier this week and stumbled across these, and I couldn’t resist! They taste good too! 
My new baby!
I’ve been after the Creative Zen Vision:M MP3/Video player for a long time now, to replace my aging iRiver 6gb H10. Last week I saw them going cheap for £180 on Play so I jumped at the chance. The player arrived yesterday much to my excitement and just as the reviews have stated, this thing is THE nicest and arguably the best player on the market due to it’s wealth of features.
I was shocked at the size of the thing at first, it’s much larger, thicker and heavier then my H10 but that display and its 262k colour palette means that the video display is so vibrant in comparison to the iPod Video

Dear all, this is my first ever post! I don’t normally do this but Darren is too busy in dreamland after falling drunk at his first ever Funday event at our workplace. Funday is a day set aside for employee’s to bring their families and relatives to a fun fair event organised by yours truly. There’s food, rides, drinks etc available and everyone generally has a lovely time! 
Hell hath no fury then a woman scorned
This weekend, Taz chose a film that we could go and watch as I was too tired to bother. My hopes of seeing the Miami Vice remake were dashed when I saw the tickets bearing My Super Ex-Girlfriend on them. I feared beforehand that we’d be going to see this though. You’re not going to get much of a review from me because this film was frankly crap! I did fall asleep while watching this as I was tired, but aside from that I just couldn’t believe Uma Thurman could sign up for something this poor. Dearest Taz, next time I choose the film
So, to recap, Luke Wilson who plays Matt meets Uma Thurman who is Jenny and all is going well in their relationship. When Jenny lets Matt in on her secret he’s ecstatic as he gets to join the Mile High Club without having to board a plane… He decides that dating Jenny and a super hero will just not work. Big Mistake! She goes all bunny-boiler on him and makes his life a misery as a result. He then turns to G-Girls sworn enemy Professor Bedlam played by Eddie Izzard to get rid of her… - hopefully off our screens forever.
One of the most talented artists to emerge from the UK since Richard Ashcroft
James Morrison has to be one of the UK’s most promising artists in a long time. His incredible blend of blues, soul and alternative rock is mesmerizing. At just 21, he has an extremely promising career ahead of him too. Absorbing influence from greats such as Cat Stevens, Otis Reading and Van Morrison, his debut album Undiscovered shows off the many years of work he has spent on this album.
Undiscovered landed on my doorstep this morning while I was at work of all things! 
I rushed home today, ripped open the packaging and flung the cd into my Xbox 360. Ah, sheer bliss it was I tell ya! You can catch two tracks from the album right now on Uk radio - "You give me something", and "Undiscovered". This is what British music is about, none of that manufactured garbage. You can find him also on Myspace.com
No I’ve not died…
I’m still around and haven’t forgotten this blog at all. With summertime being a complete scorcher over here I decided to take a break and spend more time with some close friends instead of gaming, blogging etc. Last Sunday 30th myself and my parents went up north to Leicester for the first time in ages to see who I would consider as the only true family we have in the UK. There are five sisters up there who I miss terribly and haven’t seen in just over a year. I can’t even explain how good it was to see them as well as their parents once again - to the point where I didn’t want to leave the place. What’s even worse is that I want to go back there…right now.
