Happy New Year!

Well a merry - if a little naughty foodwise - Xmas was had at teamBBS HQ, I finally got to see 'Cars' and it has to said that it's an awesome film, really enjoyable - even Nic liked it and she hates cars in real life! Also got me an HP iPaq 6340, and due to sign al constraints I may be switching to the Vodafone network soon to maximise the iPaq's functions - and so that I can actually be contacted! I'm havin g problems hooking it up to my wireless network, but when I can be arsed to do it properly instead of just fucking about with it, I'm sure it'll work perfect!

I'm part of F1 Racing's Reader Panel, and I've been randomly selected to explain my answer to last months question for possible inclusion in February's edition of the Mag, however I can't remember how I answered! Nevermind, I've got until tomorrow to reply, so I'll think about it again and answer as I feel now, and hopefully that will be good enough!

Well on the 3rd January 2007 (ie. four days) Celebrity Big Brother will come screaming onto our screens on Channel 4 and E4, so the 'blog will be starting up again in the next few days. Unfortunately, I will be the only one contributing (if any of the team members want to post, you'll have to move to the new blogger) as Christine is in the US at the moment and the rest of the team are too damn lazy to write anything! Lots of rumoured names and I ain't discussing that here - check out Digitalspy for the latest names....

Xmas Dilemma!

Well I think I've been doing well with this healthier eating lark, of course I won't know exactly how to eat with regard to the diabetes until I've been to the clinic on wednesday - most of the food I've been advised to cut out is because of my high blood pressure - but I'm trying to be good!

The Xmas Dilemma of which this post is named after is to do with what I get for Xmas from my Mum and Sister, I asked for a few DVDs and a little radio controlled Helicoptor, I also put a Nintendo Wii on the list but at £179.99 this, I thought, would be far too expensive. But as I've got a little cash stashed away (well, about £100) I've been looking at getting a new phone, as I still can't send or receive picture messages due to using a Fresh Mobile SIM in an Orange phone.

So I've been looking for a cheap SIM free phone, and yet again my eye turns to Pocket PC phones (such as this), as they start at about £100 on eBay for a 'nearly new' example - £100 isn't cheap, some of you are screaming, but it is for a PPC I retort - anyway, I'm looking at a few and the ones I like are going for a little out of my price range (ie. double!) so I'm being a bit loud and miserable. "Hang on a minute" says my sister, and leaves the room. Upon returning she has this to say

Mum and I were going to get you a Wii for Xmas, but we can't get one, we are willing to get you one of them phones. So would you rather wait for a Wii, or get a Pocket PC Phone?

So that, after rambling on for far too long, is the dilemma! Do I get a PPC with phone capability (that I have wanted for years) or do I hold out for a Nintendo Wii (that I was likely to buy myself eventually anyway)?

Fucking Doctors!

Well, yesterday I was a healthy, if slightly overweight, man with high blood pressure. Today I am a diabetic, with high blood pressure and high triglycerides!

Thankfully it's only type 2 diabetes that can be controlled by changing my diet, which will also help my blood pressure, triglycerides and my weight.

No more Dr. Pepper, no more pies, no more chips, no more burgers, no more steak, no more chocolate, no more crisps, no more bacon, no more sausages and no more anything that tastes good! Oh, and I have to cut down on my alcohol intake too!

Rock N' Roll!

So Sunday just gone myself and Nicola went to see Status Quo play the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, and what a night, much better than in July - although I thoroughly enjoyed that gig too, this one had more going for it. Whether it was cos it was a standing gig, or because the venue was a lot smaller or purely for the return of Forty Five Hundred Times, I don't know, but I loved it! Didn't mind the mile or so walk to the venue either - even in the pissing rain! Support band were good too.

So onto last night, it was Nic's Xmas do at work so I gave her a lift to Swansea, and whilst waiting for the call to go and pick her up again, I watched Ghost Hunting with Girls Aloud on ITV2, pure genius TV! I'm a sceptic, but ghosts and stuff do tend to freak me out a bit, but last night I laughed so hard a little pee came out - purely because it was so funny watching the Girls getting so scared!!

The Truth Is Out.....

The Best Thing in The World.......

Just got back from picking Nic up from the Bus stop and she's got me some Toffifee to say thanks - I fucking love Toffifee!

Hmm, Could Still Do With A Beer

Well the lads managed to get it back to 2-2, but when you consider Stevenage only had two players sent off, you can't help but feel disappointed!

I Need Some Fucking Beer

Half an hour gone and we're two nil down to ten man Stevenage - WTF?!
