everything hates me - i think it does it cos its evil and thinks its fun Mar 15, 2005 No Comments
oh sod it, im in a bad mood and i feel like a rant...so off i go to a forum which i seem to be taking over, its called golivewire. i seem to be spending rather alot of time there, and the one time i want to have a good rant and there is NOTHING to rant about! ARGH! i am not impressed. it is late and im tiered and im trying to find a blog script that i can use for my site...i intend to update it and LJ at the same time with the same content...so i find a really nice blog script...and after a bloody long time and via another rant (at ) i find out where to get it...so then i start looking around the site some more and discover that i have to pay for that...my heart sinks....and then...a small amount of good luck..they make a free version ("yay" goes my mind) so off i go to download the thing...as i go to do so, they want my email address so they can feed me spam (as is always the case...so they get one of my addresses for just spam) and away goes the download...10 seconds later, i un-zip the file and put it in my IIS root, only to discover that i havnt got my server set up to run cgi files...and its so late now, and i cant think...im really not in the mood for fixing it now...and i can fix it tomorrow morning as i have to do a report for college, and i cant do it in the afternoon as i have to go to college and i cant do it in the evening as i have a meeting to go to...AAAAAAAARGH! i am not in the mood for this!hmm, well, i cant think of a subject for this....

well today has been a fairly pointless day....woke up...way too early
went in to work (im a primary schools IT tech on one of my college days off)
discovered there was no point to me being at work as the guy i work with was off sick
went home
sat in front of the computer
noticed i felt crap (head ache and sore throat)
still sitting in front of the computer
ate food
did some boring, pointless stuff
went out to beavers (where im one of the helpers/leaders (this is much harder than it sounds))
got home
ate food
waited till dad got back with the car
drove off to fix a friends computer
came back
landed in front of the computer
.....and now im here.
wasn't that fun.
On another note, the product referred to here has found its way back into our fridge, and as far as im concerned...it can bloodywell stay there.
Sainsbury's scamorza cheese and sun dried tomato tortelloni
if you see this product...smite it.

On Thursday night a very good friend of mine died. She was a woman at my church who was at one time one of my Sunday school teachers, she was a huge part of the church drama group (which I do techie things for like lights and sound) and a life long friend of my grandparents. She, although she seemed (and acted) very young, was reasonable old (although not the sort of age that she should have died). Last year, or maybe the year before...in fact, thinking about it, maybe even the year before that, she had cancer. She fought this off rather well, and was in hospital recently to have some kind of operation (not quite sure what it was for, but it wasn't life threatening). She was expected out very soon. While in hospital (I assume) she caught a chest infection and this caused her death on Thursday evening. My question is, why do people have to jump all the big hurdles to fall at the final little ones? I don't understand this. This seems to happen all the time...just when you think someone is through the worst, just when you think they are getting better, they seem to fall at the last fence. This is so unfair...people put in all this time and effort in their lives and always seem to come stuck up against what seem the smallest of things. She had lived a very interesting life, she had a huge number of friends and did so many people so much good. She was single with little family, but there are so many people to contact that her funeral isn't going to be for another week, and I don't know how on earth they are going to fit everyone in to the church (and this is not a small church by any stretch of the imagination). I wish that I would have such a full life to celebrate, I very much doubt I can every come close to this. I look forward to her funeral, I think it will be nice to hear all about her life. I think she should be glad, she has managed to touch so many people and has done so much she will be sorely missed.

Today, for my dinner, I had the most disgusting tasting bits of pasta. It was some kind of quite nice pasta, with this disgusting sun dried tomato paste inside....plus some crappy herbs....anyway, it was horrible....one day I will find out what it was. All I know is it is a Sainsbury's product, and it was not worth buying
Belbin Test Feb 21, 2005 No Comments
I recently did something called the Belbin test. This was devised by a bloke called Meredith Belbin and was first suggested in a book which he published called "Management Teams". He decided upon 8 types of people that were needed to make up a good team, and a good team must contain all these types to function properly. These types are quite separate, so most people find themselves being a mix of several, although, not normally more than three. I came out to be very strong in the direction of a "plant". This apparently means im an ideas man. I'm also a bit of an "Implementer", which means I get things going, but am not quite so good at the finishing......I would like to point out that im writing this from memory, so im not fully sure......except i defiantly was a strong plant. If you would like to test yourself then you can find the test on Belbins wedbsite, although unfortunatly you will have to pay.bloody idiots - should all be shot Feb 15, 2005 No Comments

Right...this is a reply to a person known as Doubble Dutch on this forum here.It is a reference to this post....the one at the top of the page
By reading your post, it is quite easy to tell that you are an American. Not only do you talk crap, but you complain about something you use. Have you noticed that so far (14/02/2005) you have not a single person siding with you! I love seeing those who think they are so smart fall flat on there arses. And what an arse you have to behold...it is quite astonishing quite how much excrement protrudes from within it. The English language is the most widely spoken language in the world by quite a way, and is soon to become the language spoken by the most number of people (second only to Chinese and this is debatable as there are thousands of different dialects in Chinese, many of which are so different, they are virtually unrecognisable). If you were to take in to account people first and second languages then you would soon discover that it is more than just popular...it is considered the language of the world. Now I agree that some of this is down to the English empire of the Victorian age, but a language cant just become this universal without being quite good. Its is also considered the most widely descriptive language in the world. Now, to those who use the example of Eskimos to counter me...please bear in mind that they may well have 24 different words for snow, but, that is just one thing, the rest of the language is very bland (and before you ask, I have done my research, so I know). The wonderful thing about this language is that it allows such great description. For example.... Stairs are inside, steps are outside, except when there are several, when they are then called steps. A single step, is called a step, not a stair, even when it is inside. You can of course have steps inside as well, but these are again normally when there are a few, and normally between rooms, not between floors.
This is just an example of how great it can be, if used correctly. When used correctly, it leaves nothing to interpretation, so, if used properly, it is not possible to misunderstand someone, so it takes away ambiguity, which makes it the best language in the world, as the point of language is to communicate a point or idea.
Anyway, to the next point in hand....you said "Classical Russian poetry outsells its Americian (you typoed the name of your own county! What a prick) equivalent over 40 times". Anyway, America doesn't have a equivalent to Classical Russian poetry, America is far to young to be even close.....as has been pointed out so many times before, America has no history, let alone any good linguists.
Next...." Written Arabic has passed unchanged to the entire middle east since the writing of the Koran, even today it is a travesty to soil it with forgein words or the common tounge". I love the way this person proves what a prick they are with there very own words. The reason it is considered a "travesty" is because it is the holly language, which is no longer spoken...as pointed out that there is a "common tongue"...some people.
Ah yes...what a point you made here..." Modern American rap is 5 minutes of undecipherable crud"....firstly, ALL rap is crap, and secondly, how has this point helped your point...as has been pointed out later in the page, it is dependant on what language the rap is in...if you have heard rap in French...which I have....i can asure you....you would never say another bad thing about English rap!
Now here you managed to sum up your intelligence...." Modern English academic works are incomprehensible passages of gibberish and complex jargon". If this is the case, then you must just be stupid...simple as that...I understand them, and I'm hardly a genius!
Ah, and to the next point "President Bush got elected despite the fact that he'd probbably fail a second grade reading examination ['but me are learning']" Now this one is a real cracker....you spelt probably with two b's....what a prick! And then you go on to say "but me are learning"...well by this evidence, you haven't!. (and just in case these words were spelt incorrectly deliberately, well, then you also need to learn to be consistent, as later in you post you pointed out that the mistakes were deliberate!)
"Truly English is a language loathed by all its speakers" wrong again fool...everyone so far on you forum thinks your wrong...so again, its just you....go on loner....fuck off!
"Anyone who attempts to write or speak grammatically correctly is some kind of stuck up showoff" well, again, your just wrong, and you know it! As I pointed out earlier, language is to put across a point, and it has to be correct to do so. If these grammatical rules were not needed, then they wouldn't be there, fool!
Oh and what a quote you found...(I would say you made it up, but the point it tries to get across is not one the likes of you could ever comprehend). Well, here it is..." According to a modern report 'shcool should focus on provyding texts to studnts that ar consistntly mispelt, as this wil allow them to see the nonlinerity of langage and the diversty of other cultures.'". well, this is bolocks...people need to see correct use of their language to allow them to get it right themselves....then I wouldn't have to even post things like this to people who don't understand the language they use...poorly! Then you followed it up with "Yes, those were the origional spelling mistaikes, and they were inserted in the entire repot to illustrate the point". To be honest, I'm not sure if you meant to miss spell original, mistakes, and report!
And now we come to you signature...well, this was a pure stroke of genius! "98% of teens have tried smoking pot and drinking. If you're normal, copy this and put it in your Signature" well, if your normal, then you would find a better one, something more original instead of copying some crap written by a poorly educated American

this is a note toyou may have noticed the crap post all about sushi....well, I have been meaning to get rid of it since I read it in the morning..it was a whole load of crap.....this is what happens to me when im too tiered...I tell you, the keyboard can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of someone like me at the wrong time. anyway, I decided it wasn't something I wanted on my LJ...(me sounding like a prick)..so its gone.....so is your comment....no offence meant. anyway, im going to leave this up until I know my apology has been accepted, then I will get rid of this, and post something less helpful, and perhaps a general rant...im brewing one about milk cartons....oh well, ttfn
