all was having a laugh and jokin about in an msn (wlm) chat and all of a sudden one person mention chicken and that hunger disease spread amongst us like wild fire! so it was decided we all need to meet up and go munch

This is at 3 am in the night, not many cars empty roads, so you know how it turned out to be more like need for speed rather than need to feed

So i finish work 7 hour shift at 11.30ish at night, walk about 2 mins to get to the car and as i get to closer to where its parked i see that i left the parking lights on (dumb i know)

You probably guessed it the battery = flat

So yeah my car is 1.7 and i know pretty much most of my friends cars are 1.1-4 at the most but recently my boy Samson bought a ford focus 1.6 so he was pretty much the closest there is to a successful jump-start.

I remember reading this tutorial before i passed my driving exam :O

After about 20 minutes of looking for some one with jump cables we got the engine started and went on a 1 hour high speed road (motorway) trip around manchester city to recharge the battery lol

6 Minors, the two manouvers were “Turn in the Road” and “Left Reverse”

what more can i say?

Back to the African Nations Cup i guess

Happy New Year, I’d hoped for it to have started a bit better than this

So on Friday i did another exam, almost certain i was going to pass it

About 15-20 minutes into the lesson the examiner hadn’t made any marks on the test sheet (showing i had done no minors/majors so far) so im slowly thinking “yes today is the day!!”
then at a T-junction he ask me to turn right and he starts peeping over to look at the dashboard as if he has just spotted something strange. “Can you pull over on the left please” he says, im thinking its going to be a “turn-in-the-road mounover or a stop and start thing, but he then says “thats the ABS warning light”, this warning lights has been on ALL DAY! like allllll daayyyyy and all through the exam, i actually knew it was on but didn’t think nothing of it but this guy all of a sudden felt like i had a gun to his head. After we discussed how long its been on for because i kinda knew what was going to happen next i was haggling (not begging, me, never) with the guy to try to ensure him theres clearly nothing wrong with the car.

His next words were “I’m not happy with this test being conducted in this car, sit here and wait for your instructor to come and get you” (20 minutes into the test, basically halfway through) and the $%^@$&* steps out the car and walks back to the test centre.

After a while i see my instructor gets in, first words “That examiner is a £$%&^%$@!”. My instructor then explained to me that there is nothing actually wrong with the ABS on the car, the light has been on for the last 2 days and he came to the test centre the day before and gave the supervisor a letter from a car garage confirming that the actually fault is the ABS sensor is damaged and is keeping the light on and it would take a couple of days to order the replacement part. The supervisor said that is was alright to do the exam and that he would inform whoever was doing my test, which obviously he didn’t, which he basically admitted and told my instructor on the test day to right a letter to the DSA to get my £48.50 fee reimbursed

So yeah, thats whats happening so far for 2008 lol

So yeah finally got round to paying for hosting, got a pretty sweet deal from Hostgator

What’s New?
Summer was all good had less work hours + more play time so yeah you get the point, I got a sweet pay off from my shares in the Corus Group, meaning less work wasn’t an issue.

In august I got myself an ex-police Vauxhall Astra Mk4 (yes its white and no it doesn’t have no police stickers etc (why do people ask that :S)) it’s a S reg 99 registered bad thing is that its done just over 100k miles haha but as its an ex-police car its had more than double servicing so its all in good working order and it’s a diesel.

After getting the car I finally got round to doing “paid” driving lessons (yes after I got my car lol) at the end of August to this date I’ve done 25 hours and 1 exam which I failed, got 3 minors for clearance of obstructions; if you don’t know 3 minors of the same thing counts as a major, basically the examiner said every time he took me down a side street with cars parked on the left he feared I was going to hit the wing mirrors of all the parked cars so yeah that was my 3 minors. Personally I think it’s a messed up reason considering I’ve been driving since summer with different people and not one person has said this to me so its obviously his own opinion that failed me, and the fact I didn’t actually hit the car mirrors doesn’t that then mean I have good control of the car lol??? Ah well, have to rebook another exam (another £48.50) and that’s in January L I’m pretty sure any American reading this will be lol’ing to themselves, I get it all the time on IRC.

When I do finally pass, I gotta do what a man’s gotta do I.C.E, In Car Entertainment

Crack
Remember my cracked Zune?, I replaced the screen and soon later I some how managed to crack the screen of my HTC Tytn insurance company didn’t wanna do nothing so I bought a replacement screen which ended up FOA – Faulty on Arival (sigh), by then the HTC Tytn II had just been announced so i waited a couple of weeks and bought me one mucho mucho better than the Tytn I.

The Black Xbox
My black modded Xbox 360 got banned in the first wave of bans (when halo 3 multiplayer beta was released), theres nothing like coming home from a long night shift and finding your Xbox has been banned, what hurt more is that 90% of my games collection was real retail copies lol most of the copies i have i have for when there released on the web early, then when its in stores i put my money on the counter. 7 Hours after finding out i was banned about 10am’ish i went and got a preowned premium from Gamestation. For a while i had 1 banned Modded Xbox and 1 Legit Xbox, it doesnt stop there tho,in october i swapped my Black Banned Xbox for a legit Xbox + £30 to me . I got the good end of the deal dont you think?

Work
I got a 2 week suspension from work in October because of a serious accusation lol but yeah its all been cleared up

The funny stuff

And now for a couple of videos that was captured since the site has been down, don’t go crazy if you’ve already seen them before, its just a timeline.

P.S I didnt have a phone for a month of the summer hence the shortage of pics/vids
