Limpetboy's Old Ramblings

All was going well with my computer until I thought the time came to upgrade my graphics card. Fairly straight forward I thought, apparently not. I was going to go for a top of the range one, as I thought why not, plus it would last longer. Then I find that computers come with different power supplies units and mine wouldn't be strong enough, bugger. Then I find out you can get new ones with more power, sorted.....apparently not. I have a Dell, which I thought was a good make...... apparently not. Yes those bastards at Dell use a lot of bespoke kit so you cant easily upgrade your computer with non Dell parts, so a new PSU wouldn't fit, arse. So I have had to buy a cheaper graphics card that is rather rapidly becoming obsolete in the wake of games like Doom 3. So next time I get a computer I'm going to build the bugger myself.

Well nearly there anyway. After having my computer for month i have finally got round the dvd rom problem on my PC. I was a totally bizarre problem in that it would play everything else includung dvd movies and even burn dvd roms but not play them. I finally stumped up the courage to open up my computer and put in the old dvd drive from my old computer (glad i kept that). Low and behold it works, not bad seeing as i really don't know much about computers. Lovely now i can play Deus Ex 2 after having it for 4 months. Horrah.

All is quiet on the blogern front, but thanks to popular demand (a couple of requests anyway) it is back. Sadly it has been quiet due to my severe disabilities, well procastination and a short attention span. well here is to a new more regularly updated blog........hopefu..............(oh look new DVD's)

So lets start with the good........ Got the expansion pack for Call of Duty (what class), come on everybody lets go kill some Germans (please note this is the aim of the game, not my psychopathic wishes, as this game is based on WWII as started by the mustachioed mental German, Hitler). Ah what fun. Also saw Hero which I really liked, it was less of a film more a piece of art. Now the Bad....... Our water tank decided to start leaking and created some nice wet patches all over the house. Fearing hundred of pounds worth of plumber bills my sisters fiance came to the rescue and managed to fix it all the about £5......phew.

Ah Fridays how I love thee so, you are my most favourite of days, except for Saturday and mostly Sunday, But you are my most favouritest working weekday. Work sucks, what idiot invented it. If only I could win the lottery, but that requires you to buy a ticket. Surely the government should set up a scheme to fund chronically lazy people such as myself so we don't have to work, we're not productive to society anyway.

Yes I am posting the final Slag of George's Week post (as frankly even I'm bored of it now). And I really can't think of any more really disagreeable George's so back to the Bushmeister himself. The man's retarded with intellect of an oxygen deprived fish that was born with learning difficulties. A plea to all Americans of voting age, please don't vote for him, he's going to destroy the world (he's like Godzilla on the rampage, only more dangerous. Plus at least with Godzilla he was entertaining to watch, but with Dub-ya as old Roy would say "Frankly I'd rather stick a fork in my eye") . I would carry on using as many words to portray my feelings for him but instead just go to www.thesaurus.com type in moron and they'll do it for me.

I forgot I am supossed to be ranting every day and also i declared it slag off George's Week, only i have run out of Georges to slag off. So at the lack of anything else I'll pick George Forman and his over priced grills. I'll tell you those adverts used to get right on my tits, and now he does loads of other stuff as well as his grills. Like his lean mean toasting machine, it's just a f*****g toaster whoop-de-doo. Thank you, rant over

Just thought I would say that the bloke is an absolute legend. I don't know how he does it, he seems to have sum total of all survival techniques stored in his head. If you ever get lost, you want this man with you. Get stuck in the middle of nowhere with no fire or food, give him a couple of hours and he will light a fire and rustle up a nice and nutritious plant root and insect soup......Lovely. If only they sold mini versions of him you could store in you pocket incase you ever get stranded in the middle of the wilderness. "Mini Mears" the ultimate survival pack.........It would make you a fortune.

Forgot to say that at the Beer Festival I nearly Broke Carls arm in my drunken stupor (its not good to bundle people half your size when you about 15 stone), but do not fret I had email from Carl today and with some the aide of the drugs he is well on the way to recovery. I say it was his beard of power that did the trick, as shown below by his demonstration models that he takes everywhere with him.

The Star Wars trilogy finally came out on DVD yesterday.... Hurray!!! but not the original theatrical versions.... Boo!!!!! I'm afraid to say i succumed and bought them (damn my impatience). After watching Star Wars last night i fondly remember the brilliance of it, but all the needless additions almost spoil what is a timeless classic. George Lucas is an arse (obviously that is my own personal opinion not a matter of fact, although some of you may disagree). Why can't the insane fool leave his work alone. I mean i don't mind a bit of re-editing, adding deleted scenes or even slightly tweaking the effects to clean them up or whatever, but the Jabba the Hut added scene where Han walks over his tail is just stupid and so obviously computer enhanced it nearly ruins the whole film. George just leave them alone, you finished them nearly 30 years ago. As for the prequels, again George Lucas is either a visionary of the digital age and total genius.....or has gone totally insan...

Norris McSquirter chews the fat as he eats the scaps from the floor. What a great night, nearly in a fight with a crazed Liverpool fan (loon) and then violently sick most of the night afterwards. Marvelous!!!!! Roll on next year.

Finally after having a computer for about 5 years i have managed to create somthing for myself, took me long enough. Lets hope I manage to keep this regularly updated with the drivel that is my life, and maybe a few photos along the way as well. Don't worry more to come soon, not that you are worring of course.
