Yes that’s right, bonnie has landed, so i have decided to give her a blog of her very own.

She has picked up the whole blogging thing quickly, quite impressive to say shes a puppy.

http://bonnie.dog-blog.co.uk

In other news, god damm its hard work having a puppy. Crying, pooing and eating lots.. Its like having a baby except its probably cheaper! (and less painful for gem!)

She has settled in well, and is learning by the day. She knows what NO is now, and were working on afew other bits and bobs now. She hasnt poo’d once in the hosue either! Always in the garden!

Shes a good puppy!!

I have found myself ringing 123-reg a fair few times over this last year, and to be honest it was annoying knowing i was being charged 10p a minute because some clown couldn’t be arsed to put their backside in gear, and answer the phone.

So i used the fab website, www.saynoto0870.com, and found the following number that is EXACTLY the same line as the 10p per minute contact number.

01782 605 399

Do not get stung with a £3 phone call, especially when your on hold for most of it. Use this free number for 123-reg, and utilise your free minutes on your mobile, or your “Evening and weekend” call plan at your home.

As i write this, im actually on hold to 123-reg, as they have had some problems with changing nameservers on .com domain names. Its most annoying, especially as i thought it was something that i had f**ked up!!

Dumbasses!

I have a general love for good rap music, not so much of this crap that is released now, but some of the older stuff that was released a few years ago. Im talking the Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, DMX, Cypress Hill.. etc etc.. Red and Meth when they get together too, they flow off each other so well. If you’ve seen the redman cribs, you’ll know that he aint like other rappers either that or he’s a fantastic marketing professional!

Anyway, i blogged the end part from the Wu-Tang track Gravel Pit as it was cool, and it was hard to find so i thought id blog it to keep it in existence. I was listening to another similar track, this one is by Meth and its a self titled track. Here’s the beginning, which i have always laughed at, and seem to remember it being used on a rave track back in the nineties? If anyone knows, then comment

“Method Man”
[Intro Part One: Method Man (album version)]

Yeahhh, torture motherfucker what?
Torture nigga what?
What?
I’ll fuckin, I’ll fuckin tie you to a fuckin bedpost,
with your ass cheeks spread out and shit,
Right?
Put a hanger on a fuckin stove and let that shit sit there for like a half hour,
Take it off and stick it in your ass slow like, Tssssssss.
Yeah, I’ll fuckin, Yeah I’ll fuckin lay your nuts on a fuckin dresser,
Just your nuts layin on a fuckin dresser,
And bang them shits with a spiked fuckin bat,
Ooooohhhh,
Whassup? BLAOWWW!!
I’ll fuckin, I’ll fuckin pull your fuckin tongue out your fuckin mouth,
and stab the shit with a rusty screwdriver, BLAOWW!!
I’ll fuckin, I’ll fuckin, I’ll fuckin hang you by your fuckin dick,
off a fuckin twelve sto-story building out this motherfucker,
I’ll fuckin, I’ll fuckin, sew your asshole closed, and keep feedin you,
an’ feedin you, an’ feedin you, an’ feedin you….

For someone who has never heard the track, they’ll probably think im psychotic. Haha.. You have to listen to Meth and the other guy to find it funny.. Hah

I found this on News Desk Special, and was shocked to think that it could be the truth.

“A lawyer for one of the so-called Tapas Nine has confirmed to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo that their client would like to speak further to the Portuguese police but feels reluctant to do so because of Gerry and Kate McCann’s powerful political allies.

The London-based lawyer, speaking anonymously, claims that the client in question wants to “reveal the whole truth” about the McCanns, but is fearful that it will attract the ire of the many politicians and lobby groups who have attached themselves to the case.

The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell has called the report “utter rubbish”, saying all seven of the friends who ate with the McCanns on May 3, the night Madeleine disappeared, share the same lawyer.

The unnamed lawyer however claims that the friend in question broke ranks and secretly consulted him in September. He repeated allegations to El Mundo that once Madeleine had gone missing in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, the police were not called until the parents had discussed the legal ramifications of having left their children alone for the evening.”

So their4 year old daughter is snatched, or whatever.. and straight away they were more bothered about what people would think of them for leaving their kids unattended, than actually finding their missing daughter.. It makes me sick!

I hope she’s found soon bless her

Ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you.. The smallest hobbit-like wotsit in the world.

The bigger one is a normal sized wotsit, and not only was he found to be picking on the smaller dude, he was also found to be using anaboloc steroids, for which he was removed from his packet and eaten.

The Hobbit wotsit was later found to of committed suicide and, was subsequently eaten as well.

I had been informed of second life by a mate of mine a while back, and i had tried to install it then, with no joy. Im using a Toshiba Satellite S1400-203, and its not the newest laptop in the world but it manages to run pretty much anything i throw at it.

But not second life.

When i install it, and run it, i get the part at the bottom of the screen to log in, and the top part remains blank, where there should be tree’s and second lifey stuff. At first i just presumed it was something to do with the fact my laptop is gettin on a bit, but then i tried it on my girlfriend brand new Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, that is running vista and runs anything you throw at it better than most..

Still wouldnt work.

After a few google searches, i found that i wasnt the only person having problems getting SL to work on their machines. It appears that even though SL work closely with Intel (the people who make processors and graphics cards and stuff) their game/program is not supported by most Intel graphics cards!

Whats the deal with that??

We can run everything fine on that laptop, Sims2 included.. Yet she cant use SL cos the graphics card used by her brand new laptop, isnt supported.

I wish my blog could reach the people of intel/SL and i wish it would make them recode their application to support all intel chipsets, especially the mobile 965 one I just cant understand how something so huge, doesnt support one of the most common forms of modern graphics cards?!

At least im not the only person in the world that thinks it sucks!

On Saturday, many of us got together to celebrate the Marriage of Helen and Phil.  I have known them both for many years, and i was not about to miss their most special day!

I arrived with Gemma and HSB, and there were already many people there as they had all been to the actual wedding in the daytime.

Im not gonna go into too much detail about what happened, or who did what. I just wanted to blog about the awesome atmosphere there was. Everyone was getting along, and everyone was speaking to each other.

Recently there has been quite a few disturbances in the force, many people falling out, and its just generally been shit. But for this one night, probably so as not to ruin the newly wed’s occasion, everyone got on fine. Everyone was talking to everyone. And it was awesome

It upset me a bit if im honest, as surely everyone can get along all the time?

Isnt life too short for petty arguments?

I guess people will do what they want, and will like and dislike who they want.

I just wish that people would play nice and get along all the time. I know that there will always be the little sub groups, but when all together like at the wedding, or at a show, it doesn’t hurt to say hello to that person that your not really all that fond of. It doenst hurt to make the effort,and show everyone that your a lot more grown up than everyone perceeves you to be.

NB - this is not directly aimed at ANYONE. Its just a general observation of a situation that occurred.

If anyone who has beef with another maxxd member reads this, then just reassess the situation please. What do you have to gain from being stubbern and holding this grudge? Can you even rmember what started the disruption?

Please, end the war. Lets be friends.

I have never liked the brand “Starbucks” - I feel paying so much money for a cup of coffee, is just criminal. So when i read this entry on Forbes, a smile crept on my face.

In a nutshell, Starbucks is going BAD! The fact there are so many competitors, and the cost of dairy products going through the roof causing starbucks to have to put their prices up twice in a year, means that many people favour cheaper alternatives from Maccys or other coffee outlets.

I know i eat at subway, and they do just basically sell sandwiches for twice as much as anyone else does (like starbucks does with coffee) but these two companies are in different leagues. You cant buy a subway style sandwich from anywhere but subway. You can buy a cappa-frickin-chino from tescos.

Whilst searching for starbucks logos, and other such crap, i stumbled upon this little gem from a guy who discusses the history behind the starbucks logo.

Its mad what you find on the internet!
