Ghosts of Xmas past

It has been some time since my last blog post, but this is more a reflection of my philosophies than inabilities. It has been a very many years since I started blogging and it has largely been my belief that I’ve only ever blogged when I’ve had something to say. Not necessarily important to all audiences, or for that matter any audience outside of m head. And I’m sure that if I ever bothered to read through some past posts it would be surely cringe-worthy.

E-on are useless

I was welcomed home today after my trip to Scotland via Manchester and Cambridge (more of that another day) my a final demand notice from a debt collection agency apparently sent on behalf of E-on for a sum of £54.19 for the house in Beeston (Nottingham). Better yet the dates on this were from 26th July til 4th Nov, so the day after I moved out.

My immediate thought was that someone has managed to spin a fine yarn, having managed to change the supplier to the house in Beeston but then kept my name on the account and managed to charge me thus. After 8 minutes of being on hold I noticed that in fact the period in question was actually 2008.

Gilette: the best a man can get

Does anybody notice the beautiful irony? Everyone seems to think it is weird that Gilette, one of Tiger Woods’ biggest sponsers is standing by him despite all the cheating. When other sponsers like Gatorade dropped him so fast it musta hurt.

But at the end of the day. Gilette: the best a man can get. And the best he could only get was 7 women and 2 porn stars.

Wedding bells and living hells

So since I last wrote a few things have generally happened. Namely I appeared in one of Doug’s dreams as a zombie killer, I’ll let your brain run with that one. I’ve also done some things in reality. In this respect I think I’ve gone to Manchester to see E for the last time (hopefully in a long time) cos let’s face it there are only so many ways to pass 9 hours of train travel in a weekend. This is of course because I get to get on a train this Saturday, head down to Cambridge and empty a van / build ikea furniture.

Nearly there

So, today is Wednesday. And university is all but past tense. He says with his fingers crossed, for Friday we find out if I actually have to do a viva next week. Which if I do then there shall be 30 minutes of hell next week on Tuesday or Wednesday but then it should all be over.

For those not in the know, a viva is essentially an interview where they ask you questions from any topic that you have studied in your time at university. Typically given to students that are borderline candidates (ie 59%), to determine whether you are actually worthy of being bumped up to the next grade boundary. So potentially a very stressful procedure.

A new beginning

Hello and welcome to my new blog. Some may remember my original blog that was hosted for many years on a certain social networking site. Unfortunately it was lost to the ether as a result of an argument with a particularly crazy girlfriend and as a result of the falling standards of said social networking site to a level where everything was in pastel colours and aimed at telling the world what band you thought was hot.
