I Love Xbox360!


That is why I haven't been online recently - I've been playing Xbox360! Hooked up to Xbox Live now (as you can see from my Gamertag at the foot of the page), and having great fun trying to thrash everyone (but failing so far) at PGR3 only managed to have one game of Full Auto on Live, but I won that by a country mile!

Going to the United Stadium a week tomorrow to savour the atmosphere of a rekindled Yellow Army, and I'll probably be there the week after too, can't really afford it but I haven't been enough this season so getting a quick fix!

Howdy

Watching the NASCAR Busch series race on Motors TV at the moment, there's been 8 cautions and the race was stopped for roughly an hour due to snow - and it's only lap 143 of 300! I'm also discussing race on the Motors TV forums and I got a name check from the Motors TV commentator whilst the Yanks were on their ad break - well happy!

Jim Smith has returned to OUFC along with Nick Merry - the new owner - and the new regime got off to a flying start today with a 1-0 win. Splendid.

I Got Me A Blister On Me Finger!


I should be preparing my room for the arrival of a 32" widescreen TV tomorrow, but I've decided to be an alcoholic and help myself to an early grave by getting drunk in front of the TV and PC.

Really gutted as just after I've blown a load of cash on an Xbox360, a long weekend in Oxford, paying a load of bills and lot's of crap, a non-turbo Nissan 300ZX comes up for sale on the owner's club website for £1600, with a full MOT, all it needs is the heater fixing. A guy on the OC called T Pot has provisionally bought it - and he only lives a few miles away, seen him in his TT loads of times.

Only problem with drinking is it gives me the munchies and I'm fat enough!

Peggy is still trying to hump Chewbacca at every opportunity but all he wants to do is bite her legs - just like Edd The Duck used to!

Oh, the blister! Built the stand for Mum and Dad's new TV today, and somehow got a blister!

Anyway, I'm off for a shit.

Lazy Days

I'm sat here next to Dad (on the Laptop again - really need one of my own!) watching the rerun of the Malaysian GP, I watched it live, but I always watch the F1 with Dad so for the races that take place in the early hours of the morning I watch them twice! I'm not gonna write about the race as Dad hasn't yet seen it and I don't want to spoil it for him.

I've not been well since wednesday, in fact I've been quite ill, nevermind. I had to miss Matthew's birthday piss up, which I'm pissed off about, but couldn't help.

I've changed some of the Recommended page, as my tastes have changed somewhat over the last few months.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

We won! We bloody won!

Wireless Wonder!

Well I'm currently sat in the front room with my Mum's new Laptop wirelessly connected to the internet. Listening to Oxford Vs Bristol Rovers through earphones whilst Mum watches The Bill, Patto's first game in charge I don't think we're doing too bad, could do with a goal or two though!

Nicola has drawn up a plan for rearranging teamBBS HQ, just gotta buy some furniture and get a job now! Any offers?

Popped over to Banbury on Sunday to see Krisse and Sanjie, who have a lovely house that was thankfully easy to find! Thanks again for the chocolate cake!

The first GP of the Season took place on Sunday, the new qualifying format was mainly a success but I feel that the third session should be low fuel too - watching F1 cars cruising for fifteen minutes before blasting around the track once or twice is not particularly entertaining! Excellent performance by Nico Rosberg, with the exception of the first corner! Just hope he, and Williams, can keep it up.

We had to get Peggy some special pants today, they have a slot for fanny pads as she's on heat, she looks so sweet!

Happy Birthday Gemma!


Tomorrow afternoon I shall be driving east on the M4 to join my old friends in Oxfordshire for a few days.

Unfortunately Oxford Utd are away on Saturday, and I won't drive to Stockport after a night on the piss on Friday! They are at home on Wednesday, but that might be overstaying my welcome!

It's a beautiful rainy day today in 'Sunny' South Wales, and I nearly killed myself walking down to the Post Office and back earlier! Half a mile each way, only on the way back it's all uphill, and I'm not the fittest of people, so I was extremely out of breath and my back was killing me! Tomorrow, I shall drive it!

You may have noticed a few changes, I've cleaned up a bit by only having the latest post on the front page - you can still read any of the others but you have to go through the Archive. There's the latest headlines from This is United in the footer, This is something that the Official OUFC site should do, but they don't so TiU it is! I have also put my Xbox Live Gamertag in the footer, I am yet to take my Xbox360 online but when I move it upstairs it will be hooked up to the router and away I will go!

I'm a Happy Boy!

£404.98 and a day's wait for delivery bought me the most marvellous thing in the World!

Ok, that might be an exaggeration, but it is pretty damn special! I was looking to buy a car, but when I got the email from GAME saying that the Premium pack - with 20gb hard drive, wireless controller, blah, blah, blah - was back in stock I had ordered one within twenty minutes!

Wondering if I can afford the 42" TV to play it on now............
