Scan Computers

The only thing I’m waiting on now is the graphics card – it’s been ordered – it was due to be released end August, however there’s been a delay! grr!
I got the third monitor from Scan – a (i have to say) brilliant website, the tracking is fantastic, 100% true tracking indeed, absolutely brilliant. Well Done Scan. They even emailed me (and text) to advise that the monitor would be delivered today between 10.59 and 11.59am (yes – it’s Saturday today). Awesome.

I sooo wish the graphics card was available on the Scan website, now that would have me up and running today!

I also treated my computer to more memory too, so it’s now running at a full on 8GIG of ram, mega!!
(Don’t tell the Mrs…)
As usual – my memory came from Crucial – the Memory Experts.

Loved that comment – Nice one Kim!

Hi folks, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got 10 minutes before I goto bed, I’m shattered, however – I want to stay up later, it’s probably too late to have a red bull as I’d be still whooping about at midnight and 1am…!

I’ve had a pretty shite [...]]]>

Red Bull - it gives you wings,.... and more

Hi folks, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got 10 minutes before I goto bed, I’m shattered, however – I want to stay up later, it’s probably too late to have a red bull as I’d be still whooping about at midnight and 1am…!

I’ve had a pretty shite week to be honest, actually make that 2 weeks, as you know my boiler broke down, that’s cool – home insurance’s Home Emergency call out should fix that, no, will it f***, “£1500 will fix it sir, but it might happen again soon” So yes, I get a quote for getting a new boiler (and shower – as I later found it was the shower that caused the boiler to pack in), so new boiler and shower – £2500, well, it was a buy now and pay later kinda deal, a no brainer (as long as I pay it I guess).

So this week it was installed, nearly 2 weeks of makeshift showers, 40 pans of boiling water for baths, getting extremely smelly…. and finally it’s here – HOT WATER – ya f**king dancer, ya beauty…

What else can go wrong?  called up for Jury Duty,…! – thankfully not me – the better half! but it’s still a pain in the rear as she needs to take time off work, and so do I… and they are a pain in the arse when it comes to that too – NO was their answer! – ho hum… I sooo need to leave there…..!

What else? well – this morning, here I was typing / working away at my computer when bbzzzzzzzzzz my second monitor decides to go on the blink, although, zzzzz, it’s now not working at all… – I now have a 15″ TV hooked up as my second monitor… (how do normal people survive on one screen)! so no doubt that’s going to be another expense…

Thankfully nothing else has gone wrong, ah, well, there was actually, haha, nearly forgot about this one – outside in the garden on Thursday, sitting on one of the chairs, and what happens, yes, you guessed – a you’ve been framed moment – the seat bloody breaks, what rotten feckin luck….. I’m sure the neighbours saw it and had a laugh at my expense…!

Anyways – that’s my 10 minutes up, but just read on the BBc news site that a person in the UK has died from Swine Flu, H1N1 disease…
Now I’ve seen this umpteen times, – the person has (had) underlying health issues…
Can some donkey please say what this is… what is the underlying health issues….
Feck – some codger has died from Swine Flu here in the UK!!!!!
so much for Anti-Virals!!!
it’s the start of Armageddon!

well, I doubt it – but armageddon has to start somewhere…. and it may as well be with the blinkin PIGS, the birds had a good attempt, don’t know what it will be next, but we’ll just get the Antidote for it, and then there will be a “variant” of the disease!

I’m not alarmist, but we’re all gonna die….
(Eventually).

Speaking of deaths….
Such a tragedy..
David Carradine… RIP big man, legend.
Even if you were committing some sort of sex act in a wardrobe with a noose round your neck…. why oh why don’t people learn… surely it can’t be that much of a thrill…. surely???
and no – I’m not going to try it….

Anyways – that’s been 15 minutes, so I’m going to hit the sack….
Cheery bye’s everyone.
have a good Monday…..

I might even do a news snippet as well…..

What’s worse, being Politically Correct, or just being Plain Stupid.  Well, what’s my aim with this post I hear you say… It’s basically to throw you some news, in a more functional and “funny” way…

So let’s see, where to start, browsing through the news pages of the BBc website we see that Phil Spector has been jailed for at LEAST 19 years, he’s 69 now, he’ll be 88 when he gets out.  Personally, he ain’t gonna make it 19 years.  What’s even funnier for me is the fact that it’s listed in BBc’s Entertainment section, seriously – it’s not entertainment, he killed someone ffs. Phil Spector on BBc News

elsewhere… Slumdog child stars to get new homes from the Indian government and Director Danny Boyle – They must have paid them well then, nothing like cashing in on foreign labour, they had to live with relatives…. nice one Danny. (hope you made a rupee or two)(I’m sure you did/will). Slumdog Millionaire on BBc News

The Britains Got Talent final line up is complete #BGT (as the hashtag on twitter is affectionately known), do I care? NO. It’s nice as well to see the 180° u-turn on Susan Boyle as well, she’s now in safe keeping in a Safe House, that’s gonna settle her nerves…. get in there!!!  British Media – don’t you just love it.

Scottish news: HP ‘agrees to help’ job axe staff – fantastic….. you are not sacking them anymore… oh wait… you are still sacking them… nice… HP #fail..! (sorry twitter speak creeping in again)!

Party aims to ‘clean up’ politics – I thought we were all getting invited to a knees up! (alas no – it’s the same old same old)

US President Barack Obama has announced plans for securing American computer networks against cyber attacks. He said that from now on, America’s digital infrastructure would be treated as a strategic national asset.He announced the creation of a cyber security office in the White House, and said he would personally appoint a “cyber tsar”. – Craig Dearden…. no honestly – they phoned me last night on my secure line… which MI5 have tapped, bugged etc… and I’ve now been arrested…

Murray breaks new ground in Paris – it was Clay – surely he couldn’t break ground?? ah, I get it…. you meant he breaks wind in Paris

Tassel hassle – NOW THAT LOOKS an interesting link!!! lol – eek – just looked – it’s about strip joints… Burlesque…. that’s a bit risque!

Seven million ‘use illegal files’ – really? that low? – surely there’s even more now with the high profile Pirate Bay case, oh shit, don’t get me started on that!!

I think that should do for my first effort, it’s been a fun attempt…
More later tomorrow I think, I’m enjoying this!
