Let Me Introduce you to......

Chewbacca
Or Chewie for short. He's five and a half months old, has never gone for a walk - as soon as you put a lead on him he flops on to the floor and won't move, he's never used stairs before and he's started to chew everything!

I Should Be In London Right Now...

...Getting pissed for Christine's Birthday, but being pikey scum means that I have no cash to do that - but I have had a can of Stella in her honour!

Oxford United. I have given you twenty years of my life, and the top of my right arm. I can only hope and dream that you give me League Football next season.

Pics Now Online!

So I've taken inspiration from Krisse puuting his Wedding Photo's online, and put a load of pics up on Yahoo! Photo's. The first album contains the pictures from the weekend of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last July, and the second is a collection of the cars I have on Gran Turismo 4. A bit boring maybe, but perhaps some slightly more interesting ones - for the masses - will be appearing soon!

Formula 1 2006

I'm watching a DVD of last years Brazilian GP, they're just on the warm up lap as I type this, and I guess it's just struck me how different it's going to be this year.

2.4 V8
No Jordan - becomes MF1
No Minardi - becomes Scuderia Toro Rosso
Honda Racing F1
Williams Cosworth
BMW Sauber
Red Bull Ferrari
Super Aguri Honda(?)
No Spa GP(?)
Several Driver/Personnel changes

Makes you wonder what's gonna happen this next season, could be a good 'un - can't wait!!!!!

Big Brother 7

Open auditions for BB7 are starting soon (I would go Wednesday 22nd February – Cardiff) , and although I said I wouldn't go for it this year cos of the World Cup, I'm still tempted! But also not sure cos of what it is becoming.

Opinions please!

Audi R8

So a little while ago, I was reading the MX5 Owner's Club forum and the unmistakable noise of a helicopter comes roaring into my room, I look out of the window and see the shape of a big helicopter flying about, very low! I couldn't make it out properly as the sun was right in my eyes, and knowing the area I assumed it was a Police Chopper as per usual, anyway, I was wrong, it was a bright red Air Ambulance that landed approx. 500m from the house, just out of sight cos of some trees. A few minutes later it takes of and flies off in the general direction of Llanelli!

Well that was a bit of excitement! If I find out why it was here, I'll let you know!

eBay Frenzy

I've put some CD's on eBay.......

Here!

Formula GT

I'm a little less cynical than I was last time so don't expect any rants!

What with Alonso signing for McLaren for the 2007 F1 season, the question is now 'What of Kimi?' Has he really already signed for Ferrari - as per rumours from the middle of last season - will he stay at McLaren, or, as latest rumours suggest, is he talking to Toyota? Ron Dennis has been talking up JPM this last week, saying "I, and the whole system here, have a lot of time for Juan Pablo" (source: Rueters) seemingly stating that JPM is likely to be with them for a while, but he could also be making him look more attractive to other teams. After all, if McLaren-Mercedes have a lot of time for someone, they must be pretty good.

The WilliamsF1 Team's Interim Livery that they've been using for testing looks good, really good. It harks back to the design on Piers Courage’s Brabham BT26 in 1969, which Williams ran. But it apparently won't be on next season's FW28, which is due to be launched on January 27th which is also when the team announce their 'rebranding'.

Happy New Year?

For some, yes. For others, unfortunately not.

The latest edition of Top Gear magazine popped through the letter box this afternoon (it's a very rare day that our post makes it in the morning), and I was getting all excited about reading the feature on the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide - a four-door DB9 - when I read Jeremy Hart's coloumn. The first proper tribute to Richard Burns that I have seen. It scared me mid-2005, when I suddenly realised that Richard Burns hadn't returned to the WRC in 2005 like I had expected and thought I wonder how he's doing? So I spent half a day trying to find something out, all I did find was a piece on his appearance at Castle Combe in August. A couple of months later, I read on BBC's Final Score that he'd passed on. He could, and should, have had many more years in Rallying, Ok the Peugoet years didn't work out for him, but he was headed back to Subaru when he became ill. My thoughts are still with his family and friends.

On a lighter, and slightly more selfish note, why is there a shortage of Xbox360 consoles?! I actually saw one on eBay on the launch date sell for £1200 - makes me wish I hadn't cancelled my preorder! One wonders how Microsoft can justify installing 1000 'Play Pods' in gaming stores across the UK, aswell as supplying them to the companies that are offering them as prizes, when they can't supply enough to meet demand?! Surely the paying customer should have priority? But then seeing as they apparently make a loss on each console, maybe they don't care that much.

SKYdigital = shit.

Why does the BBC bother with Top Gear? I think that the series that has just finished lasted for all of 7 episodes, one episode being pushed back a week cos of Snooker, and the final episode being pushed back cos of Xmas! The amount of money it must cost the BBC to make this excellent programme cannot surely mean that it's cost-effective?! But of course, the amount of money it must cost the BBC to make this excellent programme means that the series cannot last for more than about 7 weeks!

Bloody hell, I feel a bit better now!

Oh, and I spent all day yesterday, gutting my bedroom, throwing loads of stuff out, cleaning underneath my bed (even behind the chest of drawers) and yet I've still got too much shit! As soon as the Job Centre get off their arses and give me my money (they were supposed to phone me this morning, but haven't) I'll be putting lots more CD's on eBay - I want to get rid of about 200!
