I've survived christmas

Well I can say this I survived Christmas here at the ranch although it was a close run thing let me tell ya. Well I had 5 glorious days off work. Had Friday off, the weekend I don't work weekends :D, and Monday Tuesday off as well. So All in all not bad, sat back, chilled out to my vast music collection, played World of Warcraft but in a totally chilled out way, decided my 2nd Skills such as First Aid, Fishing and Cooking needed to be upgraded as well as my main Professions of Mining and Blacksmithing so with this in mind I set about fishing for some of the strange and wonderful things you can fish for in the various parts like Mithrel Headed Trout and Deviate Fish - hmm Cooked Deviate fish has a party trick up it's sleeve so to speak it turns ya in to a pirate for 30 minutes and your pretty immune to certain spells and the like. Christmas day was fun got up late well 11:00, had a shower. My older sister and BIL arrived so I got them their presents while waited on mother coming back from church so presents could be opened kinda thing. Although parents had already opened the ones they had gotten from me and other people. Mum did like her Phantom of the Opera DVD box set :D, the stuff I ordered from www.lush.co.uk and the Jim Reeves CD. Dad loved his Clint Eastwood DVD Boxset as well in fact he even managed to put it the DVD player and play it amazingly. Well left for a "few" hours to see my other sister and nephew since well you know they ain't on speaking terms yet. Nephew as per NORMAL was spoilt rotten but he's worth it (most of the time). Hmm amongst other things he got a Gameboy Advanced + several games to go with it, A Robosapien V2 (this was to make up for last year when the Robosapien he got didn't ****ing work - dispite a new controller and that being sent - this year it was tested before hand ;) ), a table football game which he set up on the floor and played with anyone that came too close (bending rules to suit him of course), and various other things like a MegaBloks F1 Racing car that well he'd hinted at just a little while ago hmm guess someone heard him (major Kudos to me:D). Instead of 2 hours I ended up staying 4 - oh well had dinner there as well which was much more fun than dinner at home would have been (trust me on this one folks!).
Oh what did i get hmm well 2 litres of Bailey's Irish Cream :), a Winter Car Care kit which is coming in real handy right now (it's gonna be cold tonight -6C [21F]), a powered hand shaving kit, hmm smelly stuff as per normal and a Suduko Computer Game and after me getting my digital camera - I didn't get very many photos hmm shall have to work on that one..
Oh notice anything different about the blog? It's a clue to another gift I got, but can you work it out?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my readers. I'll still be around but hmm I think Im busy christmas day. I wonder why, hmm i think I'll be too busy taking photo's of my nephew opening all his presents with my new camera and eatin' and things like that to blog. I may even take a walk and try and get some nice shots of where I live need to take it out for a test drive anyway ;)...
Your in my prayers you know you are
"May Peace Walk Beside You and In Your Heart Always."
I know that could be hard but remember you may just make someones day with a smile.

The act of giving...

I'd like to thank Sharon for the lovely christmas card she sent me last week, I did meant to say I'd got it but erm forgot with everything else. I'd also like to thank my good friend Katt for her card. I'd also like thank Heather even although I don't have her card just yet. Hmm but it's not the actual act of recieving a card that matters even although both times and one more to come it did put a smile on my face. I mean simple things in life like a card, letter or phone call that can brighten someone's day even if they are the electronic versions of these e-card, e-mail, and voice chat. It doesn't matter the distance, the next street, the next town or 1/4 of the way around the world just remember it might just make someone smile :).
I use Aim, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger and hang out in Computers Lobby:1 you can find me on any of them if you know who to look for ;)
Merry Christmas all

A Quiz of Sorts

Well I listen to Radio 1 and the Scott Mills show has a part of the show called "Rate My Listener" which is exactly what the rest of the listeners do, the listener sends in a photo of themselves, it's put up on-line at bbc.co.uk/radio1 and you follow the links normal - this is a direct link. He also gets the dear listener on the phone and asks them a few questions about themselves etc.. Im going to attempt to recreate this quiz kinda, your answers in comments please, this is a random sample of questions asked.

1. What would your ideal date be?
   


2. If I was coming round for the day, say bottle of wine, watch some TV / DVD, what you cook?
   


3. Who would your ideal man/woman be?
   


4. If you had to "bat for the otherside", who would your ideal woman/man be?
   

Im sure I'll think of more to add...

Got an Early Christmas Present

A Question of Raindeer

You can blame Moogie for this.

You Are Comet

A total daredevil, you're the reindeer with an edge! Why You're Naughty: You almost gave Santa a heart attack when you took him sky diving Why You're Nice: You always make sure the sleigh is going warp speed

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Breaking News..

This just in, I've been updating a few files and well one of them was my Greetz list which now works in IE, Firefox and Netscape (most of the time) might wanna check it out see what I've done with it ;)

Have ya Heard?

They gone and done it now, the Politically Correct Brigade has gone TOO Far this time!
Why I hear you ask?
They've gone and Messed with the Winnie the Pooh stories.. They are replacing Christopher Robin with a girl who's more of a tom boy than a girl - FFS your messing with a classic..
Please leave yer views on this on.
Good Idea or Bad Idea, ie would A.A. Milne be happy or has the planets orbit gone a bit wobbly since he started spinning in his grave. I mean christopher robin was the writers son how can they MESS with this?

I did have a post to write about

I did, honestly have a good post to write but hmm as is oh so typical - no blogger didn't eat it, I was writing it and doing 3,4,5 things at once and the poor thing just locked up and thus had to be reset so thus lost the post. I don't think I could do the post justice right now but I'll think on it and well post about it at a later date. See I am still alive and posting.
