high tide, summer in the city the kids are looking pretty but isn't it a pity that the sunshine is followed by the thunder,
Word up bitches.
So it's September and I do hope someone remembers to wake Green Day up at the end of the month.
So yeah, sorry my last update was a load of old tripe, I just like to get a few words down so my timeline over there on the left hand side doesn't miss a month. Once it does miss a month then my OCD will kick in and I'll delete this blog.
So I've got my laptop sorted, I should have written about this in the last blog but I didn't so there, anyway the hard drive fucked up, I tried everything I could to fix it before I had to format it and start again which was a pisser because I lost all my files, nothing that was irreplaceable but you know, you get things how you like it and where you like it and then it's all gone, so I learned a valuable lesson about backing up your files that lesson is: always back up the files you want to keep and don't think losing everything wont ever happen to you! it will it's just a matter of when, however as it's happened to me I don't need to do any backups for, like, ever or something.
The laptop was fucked. I was looking online for a new hard drive so I could fix the problem myself, I found a nice 320GB for about £40 when the postman came and delivered a letter to me, it was from PC world telling my that my laptop warranty was going to run out in 4 weeks, I thought the warranty had run out already so this letter was a blessing. I got Matt to run me up to PC world and said fix my computer and I'll renew my warranty. A couple of weeks later I have a working laptop with a snazzy new 500GB hard drive in place of the 250GB one that fucked up, I asked how much it would have cost to fix if it wasn't under warranty and the bloke said about £130, so as soon as I got home I filled out the form for 2 more years warranty for £57!!!! cheap and worth it for that piece of mind.
So go back up your shit and renew your warranty.
My mate Jenny was on Eggheads the other day which just about goes to show how exciting my life is when in MY blog I talk about other peoples endeavours! she did really well and knocked out fat Chris, ,unfortunately she didn't go on to win the Jackpot but it was a good effort, here's a picture for those who don't believe me.
Job wise Harrogate is fucking shite. I actually managed to apply for every job I could possibly do last month and heard back from one job saying thanks but no thanks. It's really frustrating as it looks like I'm not trying for a job or don't want a job or you know, I doubt myself and get really depressed some days and it's just shit, then I go to the job centre and they say, "we have some bar work for you" and I tell them to stick their bar work up their arses, While I feel in a normal environment I will happily never drink again, if I was working in a bar I honestly don't know if I could trust myself to stay sober, so I'm staying away from that line of work, which is a shame because I used to be a kick ass barman.
Had an idea which I have shared with Jof about doing some music, I need to speak to to Mr Bullough, Mr Barker and Mr Chiu before confirming anything but a plan is being drawn up, if nothing happens then this is the last word on it, ok!!!
In other news, I don't have a car so I compensate this by having a massive penis!
