This is just something i wanted to briefly put down. Its amazing how music can change your mood, it gives you tremendous feelings, be it good or bad. Happiness or hate, can get you relaxed or fired up! The reason i say this is because i am currently listening to an album by someone i have never heard of (lissie). I had the mis-conception that i knew none of her songs, half way through the album this song comes on and immediately i feel really sad. Really confuses me why, the song shouldn't be familiar and yet it is! half way through the song i realise that i know it (kind of) from the end of one of my favourite TV shows of all time. I believe it was the very last song that was played on Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. The ending was a happy sad ending, i think mainly sad for me because the show was finishing way before its time. Quite an emotional ending too. And even before i had realised this was the song my brain recognised it (without telling me......pfft cheers brain!) it was quite astounding how the feeling of sadness just swept over me after 5 seconds of the song. Its amazing what the brain is capable of. Y'unno they say we only use 10% of our brain (although i swear some people i know use less!). Imagine what could be achieved if we used a lot more! I'm not even sure why i posted this, i just wanted to write it down for some unknown reason. Also, i'm now listening to the song on repeat, although its sad, its bringing back memories of the show! damn i'm sad "The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them." - Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) Alan.

I have just heard the new Jimmy Eat world song and i have to say i am in love! if this song is anything to go by i am INCREDIBLY excited for the forthcoming album (released on the 28th of September!......just after my birthday) if i get any money (do you get presents and money for your 24th or is it just another day?) anyway if i do get any money i know what i'm spending it on! also they're touring the UK, i NEED to go. You see i have always been a Jimmy Eat World fan, since i very first heard them. And even now i class them as one of my favourite bands. Excitedddddddddddd! also i think yesterday was just a negative day as far as work goes. Today felt incredibly productive and i enjoyed myself, quite a lot strangely! i think its like most jobs, it depends on the attitude and mood of the people you interact with, for the majority of yesterday it was miserable, rude and somewhat sarcastic people, yet today i don't think i came accross a single rude person, infact the complete opposite. And everyone in the team i'm in seemed to be in a good mood. Sara looked at the Audi A1 today, not sure if she will get one or not. All i can see is that it is difficult to weigh up the pro's and con's between that and her Audi TT. If i was in her shoes i am not sure what i would do. However she is far more intelligent and a million times better at working out what is good for her than i am so i am sure she will make the right decision! also she's way better looking (just thought i would add that......no idea why) I do shifts at work (dont worry i'm not going to talk about work again!) if i do either the 7 o clock shift (in the morning ) or the 830/930 shift on my way too and from work i listen to radio1, Chris Moyles and Scott Mills entertain me greatly! however i was stuck upon what to do if i do the 11 o clock start, i am not a fan unfortunately of Fern Cotton, nor Zane Lowe. The latter i enjoy listening to but usually after around 10 minutes i find myself turning off after hearing 1 good song followed by something dreadful! so to combat this i have been listening to AudioBooks (yes i am actually a old man discuised as a 23 year old!) damn me they are entertaining! i finished listening to Michael Parkingson's Biography today, some of the tales that man can tell are brilliant. He is certainly someone who has lead a good life and hopefully long may he continue too! Also another person who i have enjoyed listening to is Danny Wallace. He seems a brave individual, saying yes to everything he is asked, trying to create a group and tracking down friends he had as a child 15 or so years later, if i havent made this sound entertaining then i apologise, i can honestly say that buying Friends like these was one of, if not the best decision i have made this year! INCREDIBLY entertaining and funny! also it's made me leave lots of voicemails on martins phone consisting only of the word "potatoesssssssssss" (you will have to listen to find out what i'm talking about!) Anyway that is all for now! this was only intended to be a short update to say that i enjoyed work today Alan.

Small update on what has been going on with me (or if this is future Alan then this is an update about what happened to you) i feel unsettled in my job this week. I guess everyone has up's and down's? i think its lack of understanding? i felt incredibly confident in my last job because i felt i was good at what i did and i knew i worked with a good team that would do whatever they could do help, i have to say that Sarah was incredibly good to work with also. She was very organised (where as perhaps i wasnt so much) and anything i couldnt work out she usually could and visa versa. i also classed the majority of them as good friends, maybe with time i will feel the same at this current place? time will tell i suppose. its a completely different atmosphere, don't get me wrong. They are nice people at this current place, just not in the same. Hellfrauds was more fun. Yet at the same time a completely awful place to work. Fairport happened last weekend! i completely loved it! spent the majority of my time in the pubs with Pob, on the Friday evening we managed to get one of the bands to play over an hour encore! They were pretty damn awesome! Status Quo played and were entertaining! Weather was awful on the last day! which was a shame but didnt dampen my spirits! unfortunately Rozie got cold though so we left early, i think it did get really cold so cant blame her for wanting to go, i was fortunate enough to be wearing something warm at the time though. I drank on both the Friday and the Saturday, it seems that drinking throughout the day makes your hangover not so bad? maybe i was just fortunate! was nice to catch up with Pob too and i thoroughly enjoyed myself! had a damn good laugh! especially watching him put his shoes on the wrong feet for a madness song, then drunkenly try and correct himself but in doing so putting them back on the wrong feet! managed to persuade Seb to come down on the Saturday too and from what he says i think he had a good time! i'll be honest, it was really nice to see seb too! don't seem to see him too much? i guess that sentance applies to most people i know from times of old though I think thats it, had a pretty damn awesome evening with the lovely and amazing Sara on Sunday evening! we went to the hanwell arms, decided not to enter the pub quiz as there was only 2 of us, turns out we probably should of! We would of done well, and how we got some of the answer's i will never know! Sara knew the answer to one question straight away about a famous landscape gardner - i didnt even realise such things existed. No harm done, after this we went back to her's and played Call Of Duty - Modern Warefare2. I don't know if i mentioned that she has moved? if i didnt then i have now! She's moved to a nice house, further away than her last house and not as fun to drive to but she is worth the extra wait to get there! Thats all from me! Definately time to sleep.

Well here i am again! 2 days on, the reason is purely because i missed some stuff turns out i havent mentioned RoadTrek09! Well here goes, Roadtrek 08 was the trip of a lifetime, driving from Liverpool to Fez in Morocco can't be bad? however! Roadtrek 09 was just as cool (if not even more cool!) this one consisted of driving 2 beetles from Liverpool to The Arctic Circle in Norway, there was a lot more preperation with this one, having meetings with companies to get sponsorship, doing car boots, and also going on local radio and being in the local paper! Colin's car was totally re-built and Martin's beetle had a new roof put on it, i think its fair to say i gave quite a lot of time helping out i'm going to be completely lazy now and paste in Colin's summary of Roadtrek 09 to save me writing it all out (it would take me forever) Current Sponsorship money raised stands circa Ł3155 but it's not to late. www.justgiving.com/thebeetlebums Well The event was another success with masses of fun had by all parties. To say it went smoothly however would probably be an adaptation of the truth if not an outright lie! Both cars were 'ready' for the challenge they faced but it was cut a little fine. The black beauty was mot'd about a week before we left and mine(the blue scarab) was pronounced road legal 2 days before D day. On the Friday, a routine oil change on Martin's revealed a possible engine failure and a trip to Tuthill porsche confirmed that. Burning the midnight oil Alan and Martin successfully changed the engine and after packing (organisation at it's best) We left for Liverpool, only 14 hours after our target! We arrived in Liverpool 2hours late and subsequently missed the start, still we got some bonus points in our absence. A side road saw the first carburettor change of the event as well as dizzy cap and ht leads. with running problems on the Blue scarab ironed out we set off at 1pm on the 6 hour journey to catch the 7pm ferry, needles to say after copious fuel stops, more running issues, a flat tyre and the M25's notorious reputation we missed our connection. Still we were able to see Dover's 100 year anniversary of the channel crossing. Every cloud.... The following trip 'up north' was an interesting one from here on in. A short list of issues in no particular order. Puncture number 2. small oil leak with burning carburettor change 2,3 and 4 larger oil leak Clutch judder (understatement, reason to follow) Missing core plug from carb due to it being ejected out by a backfire, 'fixed' using a 1 cent piece, super glue and plumbers stop leak. Massive hole appearing in my exhaust spark plug ejection from cylinder head with thred removal- PTFE tape,locktite. Brake shoes disintegrating Distributors coming loose ignition systems in general (condensors) 3 Spark plug changes Clutch bearing falling off- Engine removal at the arctic circle. overheating. major oil leaks- top up with more oil not bought from Norway- Ł90 for 4 litres!! Gearbox rubbers leaking. window wipers breaking/falling off drivers window stuck down- remove winder and bolt window up. As you can see we had out fair share of breakdowns and trouble, but then both cars are 40 years old and we did cover and impressive 4500 miles. Don't ask how much fuel was used but lets say Europe's economic downturn has taken a steady boost from us! Don’t forget that during this minefield of mishaps we were competing against the other teams to earn as many points as possible. The list of 101 challenges ranged from collecting as many flags as you can, drinking a yard of ale to riding a horse over a jump in fancy dress, swimming it the Amsterdam canal, building a human pyramid on a ferry and having a sword fight in a Sweedish Ikea. They really did range from the sublime to the silly. I have included a few photos for you enjoyment here but if you would like to see more then there will be plenty on face book and our website soon. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=6008931260&ref=ts www.thebeetlebums.co.uk In a round up, The cars and occupants did very well, we got there and got back and let's face it, if it were plain sailing it would be boring!!! That is Colin's round up and to be honest i could not word it any better, its such a wonderful experience and to be able to say you have driven through 4/5 countries in 24 hours in a car that does a max of around 65 is pretty cool! Everyone in Europe was so friendly to us, people always waving, flashing their lights and beeping at us, the beeping was constant and was always followed by people waving! this is brilliant APART FROM WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO SLEEP AND A FAT LORRY BEEPS! lol some of the challenges were very cool too, a personal favourite is Colin trying to ride a cow - i have honestly not laughed so hard in a long time! sending Anton into a packed mcdonalds in Sweden wearing swimwear (including childrens sized goggles and snorkel) and hearing the walkie talkie in his pocket saying "i have a small penis i have a small penis" (courtesy of Martin) was brilliant! also driving round stockholm was amazing! such a confusing yet beautiful city. The surprise for me was Copenhagen though, i can honestly say its probably my favourite city ever, lovely people, lovely location and generally beautiful. Something for everybody too my friend Paul is getting married in 2011!? (the creator of this site, he put the Drage in Dragefiles!) Strange times! although i think this is a good decision where as certain people i know getting married in the past has been something which i have thought is less than a good idea (if that makes sense?) if you read this, good luck to you Paul. I hope you and Becki are happy, im more than sure you will be I refer to it as strange as Paul has been a good friend since i was 10/11 years old and its strange to think that i am now at the age where people i know are getting married (think i mentioned this in my previous post) its especially strange for people i have known for what i consider to be a long period of time. Rich is organising the stag do for Newquay i believe, will be interesting to see how it goes! the idea's i have heard from him have been pretty damn good (some hillarious though) ahhh Car yes! I think the last time i wrote this i was driving the impreza? That is no longer mine, sold it on ebay for Ł465. Amazing to think how the price of cars deteriorate, i mean a few years before i paid just short of Ł3000 for that car, i think it has gone to a good home though which is a massive positive for me, the lad who bought it is a mechanics student and wants to do the car up to drive it! so now im driving an audi, bit posh for me maybe? i try and keep it as clean as possible and think i am doing okay so far its a 1.9TDi Sport, i seem to love buying cars with the name "sport" in the model description. i'm loving this car! and its economical which is brilliant! i think this was all i wanted to added so ta-dah! this is complete Alan out. Sol Campbell has just signed for Newcastle? strange. Alan. "i cannot think of anything to put here."

Hello! Welcome to 2010 (i can't actually recall the last time i wrote in this, i can imagine it was quite sometime ago, i will just guess!) So whats happening in my life? First and foremost i am feeling older. Sounds like an obvious thing to say, i am quite clearly not 17 anymore, however much i feel like i am. People i know are getting married, getting houses, having babies (although....to a certain extent that happened also when i was 17!) It probably shouldnt but it freaks the hell out of me! i don't really understand why, i'm 23 and not 48. I think its just a fear of the unknown, am i meant to act differently? be more grown up perhaps? not drink as much? The one thing it does unfortunately mean is people seem to loose interest in doing these "random acts" that used to be something that we just did. I mean years ago i would happily go with a few friends to Witney/Oxford/Birmingham/a pub in the middle of nowhere, it was easy! easy to get everyone in the same place and even easier to organise. Now its more people making excuses or having to do the same thing as their partner/fiancé/wife. I dont know, its probably wrong for me to say this is a bad thing, i don't actually remember the last time i did something not planned. Literally just meet up with people and decide from there. I just dont think it would work now, makes me wonder how much things have really changed?! All i seem to be doing is ranting so far? im not sure why....or even what my purpose was going to be in writing this. To be fair i cant complain. I'm completely happy in the relationship that im in. I see more than enough people. I drive a nice car (imo) and enjoy myself. On the subject of seeing people i joined something around 12 months ago. Its named the RGAIC (Royal Gentlemans alcohol imbibing collabaration) to this date i still dont fully understand the definition of imbining, however all i know is i enjoy this! What is the RGAIC i hear you ask? (or maybe not....as it will probably just be me who reads this(Hello 85year old Alan)) The RGAIC is a bunch of people i used to work with at Hellfrauds (oh yeah i left Hellfrauds....will get onto that later) and what do you do? well i'm glad you asked! (or maybe you didnt ask? maybe you just dont care!) we meet up once a month and drink. Simple as that, its good fun, and although sometimes it might get slightly out of hand generally speaking its good to meet up with a different bunch of people to my norm' great bunch of guys who sometimes share different opinions to hillarious conciquences (cannot spell that word for toffee) and i always seem to look forward to the first weekend of the month to catch up with this bunch. So thank you Rich, Ben, Boo Boo, Ken, Face, Matt & John! Also linked in to that, Rich and Ben have decided they want to bike from top of the country to bottom of the country (logic in this being that as its going down the country it will be more down downhill......personally im not so sure about this logic but i'll roll with it) and i fancy this (although i dont want to let on too much that i am) anyway i am digrassing. I have started working out twice a week, semi in preperation for this and semi because i now work in an office. Wierdly good fun, never in my life did i think that i would enjoy fitness. But i do! Me Martin Rich & sometimes Paul do whats called "Fat Club" generally consisting of running 1.6miles and then doing some weights/cross training/rowing/situps. I mention this on here as i am intregued if next time i write in this i am still doing this. Bad thing to say but i anticipated we would fail after a week, we started in March and i am writing this in July and it is still going strong! This is also my early on training for the bikeride. I managed to run 5k last week, i think this is the first time i have run this far since i was about 16 years old (as i'm writing this i heard the words 3 way behind me and couldn't help but laugh, im such a child!) (if you are interested Alan in the future, you did this in 35mins you fat barsteward, next time do it quicker!) i guess i should also mention my job. I think this place used to be the place i put down words explaining my feelings on hellfrauds, be them good or bad. Generally speaking they were the latter though. In March 2010 i left, 5 years 4 months after beginning. Strangely wasnt that sad though, it really was time. The company was changing too drastically, and although this was a company that changed regulary, this change was one step too far for me. To this moment i am still shocked and how awful that company is willing to treat its staff, so many people there have so much potential but in my opinion a lot of this potential will never be realised because the company will not put the money into training and to supporting its staff. So i got out, along with many other people to my knowledge. So now i'm in IT, working on a helpdesk for a large Publishing company, "finally doing what i should be doing" were the words i heard yesterday, which i guess to an extent is true. i think im enjoying it, like everything there is good and bad days, seems like a brilliant company (watch this space!) lots of nice people, not as friendly perhaps as staff where i have previously worked but that is probably down to the length of time i have been here. Customers are just irritating but i guess that will be the same where ever i go! The actual team i work with is small, nice bunch to an extent though (one or two fruit loops and a one member who would fit in nicely at a crazy convention) The downside to this job? its based in Didcot which means for me anywhere between 40 minutes and an hour and 15 minutes drive each way (not fun!) This very second in time i have just noticed something too, office politics are incredibly different to retail politics! I think this is also a reason i am feeling older. I think in retail you talk about younger things, going out at the weekend, getting drunk, more personal things to an extent. And generally you seem to be able to get away with being a bit silly! where as in an office they talk about things like "the wife" or meals, stuff which probably went on in retail but wasnt discussed as much. I guess what im saying is chat is more grown up......and everyones frigging married! wierd! Photography! Totally forgot to mention this, i had actually finished writing this before realising that i hadnt mentioned photography at all! i have found a passion/hobbie i REALLY love and enjoy, part of me really wants to go into that industry but i could also see it being very repetitive and dull, for now i will ignore this idea! who knows though, when im 30 mayb this will change lol. I have just had a photo published in the Banbury Guardian, which is a really wierdly proud feeling! also i have been asked to photograph a wedding in September. I am actually petrified about this and bought a book yesterday so i can get it as right as i can. On a website called Flickr i have an album too which seems to get good responses, cant be too bad. I love photography so much. I think i've now covered the major things in my life, my friends are still the same to an extent, some im not as close to. Some im closer to than i was last time i was here, same as practically everyone on this earth im sure. Recently i have been to Austria for the third time! really love that place, this year it was 36degrees! boiling hot, also Alan in the future, you were made to walk up a mountain in flip flops, you did not find this very amusing. Also i saw Toy Story at the imax with Sara last week, loved it! 11 years ago i saw the first one (11 years?! doesnt time fly!) and enjoyed this one just as much as the first one! good times! also went to Alton Towers last week, stoopid time of year to go! There must of been 26 school buses full of little sh*ts! had 60 minute queues for everything. Still though it was awesome! For now that will do me, might try and update later on tonight. I have just used up my hour lunch break writing this and have totally forgotten to eat anything. I should probably do that! everytime i go on here my intentions are to keep it updated, if that happens then brilliant but i guess i shan't hold my breath unfortunately. If i see the older posts and havent mentioned in the past road trek (this one to the arctic circle in Norway then i will mention that also) Thanks! Alan.

hey hey hey! (krusty the clown voice?.......) lol okay mayb not! anyway, hope everyone is okay im currently in a pretty good mood shocked face ay! its been quite some time since i think i last wrote in this its shocking! so i guess i should talk about how i am and what ive been up to first thing i guess is Sara's birthday, that composed (is that the right word?) of a couple of things! the first thing i shall talk about is the meal, now whenever you have your prom you see lots of people in limo's and vehicles such as that, personally i had never been in a limo before and i believe neither had Sara. Anyway for this meal Sara's parents had kindly paid for a limo to pick us up and drop us off....omg sooo cool! was brilliant, free champagne too! cant be bad although was a pink limo on the way back but y'no that didnt really bother me cos it was still cool to be in a limo the seond thing was London, me and Sara went to London for the weekend and stayed in what i think was a pretty fancy hotel! before i stayed in London for the weekend i had a really dull opinion of it, not a particulary big fan of cities and the idea of staying in a city for a period of time didnt really appeal, this weekend appealed more because it was with Sara, the way it turned out was awesome tho and my opinion of cities has changed, London is actually a really cool place! mucho respect to london town! really enjoyed the whole experience, went to Harrods, thats one cool place! would like to have a credit card with no limit and go there during the weekend we did numerous things, shoppin in harrods, goin down oxford street, enjoying the underground, Leicester square cinemamamama, that market which name escapes me! and other thingss was all in all a really coool weekend and i managed to get up for breakfast everyday! what else? Halloween happened and i think its fair to say that it was a success! had loads of good photo's from that even and i think everyone had a good time, i have loadsssssss of alcohol left over from it tho! yay! people had such cool costumes too, i spent soo much time organising the event....not too much time choosing a costume tho, i managed to go as a mexican in the end, not so scary but still i made the effort went to a house warming on saturday, antons moved in with mags, wierd wierd wierd. Spoke to his dad this evening, kinda felt sorry for him now, must be wierd having his son moving out leaving him with just women in the house, house warming was pretty good, but as it always is its not easy to mix new people with old sorta thing i heard a funny story and this will only make sense if you've ever seen/done airkix at milton keynes. Mike who i used to work with but still meet for lunch quite frequently went and did it, you get two sessions at 2 mins each i believe, anyway the first time he tried it he was rubbish apparently and just couldnt stay level, the instructor guy tried to keep him next to the camera to take a picture but every time the instructor let go mike would jus wobble and fail. The second time he did it he was like a duck to water, so the instructor said to the guy who controlled the wind to let him go upwards, shooting mike above the glass, mike then got intregued to how far up he had gone, now the thing about airkix is to keeep yourself steady you need to stay as flat as possible, now here we have intregued mike who wanted to see how high he had gone......so mike decided to look down, he did this but not only did he move his head, his whole body followed sending him rolling over and smacking his head on the glass, the instructor tried to stop him....mike ended up knocking the instructor over also and found himself on his back on the netting at the bottom.......amused me anyway! im currently on my dodgy touchsmart pc, big thankyou to paul who's been fixing it, been a confusing one! somehow its currently working and im hoping it stays this way! oooo i have my new bike also, tis sooo cool! carbon fibre frame, 27 gears, hydraulic breaks, ajustable front suspension an yeah its jus cool! tis just unfortunate its so bloody cold! otherwise would be out there riding it (mayb!) been talk about goin to all sorts of foreign countries to go riding which i think sounds like a really awesome idea but we shall see what happens guess i will mention work, hellfrauds is now a joke! i think i actually should start to chuckle to myself everytime i hear the name, we have a new deputy manager, im starting to think he's okay, he's been told to leave the duty managers to do what they need to do and obviously now that includes me, makes my life easier and i get to work with him instead of him tryin to tell me what to do! he shouldnt be there though, they have moved my old (decent!) deputy manager to a different store, now the reason for this is.... the area manger doesnt seem to like him as much is the way i see it! that may not be the case but thats how i see it and thats the way ive been told it! apart from that work is ok doing quite a few stereo fits at the moment which is coooooool! sure there's lots of things ive missed out but i only planned to make this a short one so i guess thats it for now still need to think what to put in moonalan! suggestions ppl!

hey everyone! (or no one, guess that depends if anyone ever reads this lol) i seem to be making this a monthly thing, i should really keep tabs on what i do each month! like notes so i can jus go "ahhh yes i did that!" i might miss things out but ill try to remember most bits but still keep it short....ish! right first of all, september for me is my birthday month! so i just turned 22, kinda feeling old now, well not old but not young either....probably doesnt make much sense when i word it like that but i dno i reckon you (the perspective reader) will understand that feeling in time so what did i do i hear you ask! i went for a meal....how original ay! personally i dont mind birthday meals, tis a nice way to be sociable and enjoy some food! felt like a chineese this year, realised hadnt been to top wok on the high street for a while so the logical thing for me was to go there all you can eat for a decent price, cant be bad! had a pretty good turnout also! tis a wierd group of friends now, but i dno, think there will always be a group of people always willing to do something when it matters and i guess thats what makes a good group of friends. Went out on the saturday night also which was a laugh! (i think!) didnt go to many places and surprisingly i dont think i spent much either started out at the exchange pub, where the comet lot were, mannnn some of them are disturbing! was a laugh tho rachel rozie martin and Flynnbob joined later but didnt really get to speak to them that much after a while a couple of us moved on to Que Pasa, tbh i thought que pasa was a laugh WORD OF ADVICE THOUGH....dont try drinking a pint without your hands! lets just say the pint slipped and people got wet laps, thats definatly a nono! after a while me Sara Colin and Anton left, dropped Sara off and Colin me an Anton went and got some food, headed back to mine and watched a bit of a film whilst they drank coffee! what else? ooo presents, i now have a new Camera, tis very nice! a digital SLR camera takes beautifulllllll pics i jus have to find things to take pictures of now also i have a website (www.moonalan.com) thanku Paul its awesome, like a blank canvas, can put like anything on there, its just deciding what tho! i always mention work so why break the habit i've just had another payrise! 3rd this year! (this one everyone gets but still means more money for me) lookin for my 4th though, i now seem to be getting even more responsibility which is nice! running my own shifts and locking up and opening up the store tis nice to know im now trusted to do things like that, on the downside of it the manager seemed to screw me over on the second shift leaving me with incredibly in-experienced staff what else happened..... saw a few films and have some good memories also september was the month where i visited alton towers for the first time in a very long time, was BRILLIANT! surprised that we dont go places like that more often but there we go! was a very wierd day, got a lift there and back with someone i hadnt spoken to in a very long time! someone i went to scouts with when i was younger but hadnt really seen since then, when your in that situation having not spoken to someone in years it tends to become very awkward, not this time though, was only us two in the car and it was a laff! we got lost and given fake directions from a postman in Burton! bar steward! when we got there it was nice weather and short queue's (GET IN! ) was all in aid of Steph's 21st, hope she had an awesome day, she seemed to pub wise, havent gone out that much this month, been loads of controversy over the pub quiz at hanwell which completely sucks! i used to really enjoy quiz's but i no longer have any interest in going to one with my group of friends for things like that, tis sad how money divides people! also shows people's true colours to an extent. I guess the less said about this the better, grinds my gears tho! causes sadness and totally discusts me. well thats about it all sure there is loads and loads i've missed but memory like a sieve at the moment which is odd for me! looking forward i hope october improves! only one day in and its a completely crap month. managed to organise a halloween party for the end of the month tho! who knows, might bring the group more together and has the potential to be a complete laugh! might try and organise a couple of games for it too! Alan. "dont deprive a man of hope, it might be all he has."

this is goin to be a wierd way to start a post but....... ever hear those songs and think how on earth did u not fall in love with it the first time you heard it? mayb you dont realise the quality of some songs until your in the right mood for it? see here's the thing....i've heard the breaking benjamin albums a couple of times, focussing my attention on particular songs and payin minimal attention to other ones i guess, anyway the other day whilst listening to all songs on shuffle this breaking benjamin one came on and i loved the sound of it, forgot to remember the name and have been searching for it, finally found it today! and havent stopped listening to it! its called "forget it" if anyone's interested anyway, back to the real entry! i had the most fantastic weekend! in a way i wish it didnt have to happen but i had the best time! As some of you might know Colin McRae died last year tragically in a small plane accident killing himself, his 6yr old son and two other passengers. Its been in the pipeline to do some form of the memorial for a while now but nothing seemed to happen with regards to it, until a couple of months ago that is! to cut a long story short it happened last weekend and was breathtaking! there was always a lot which were meant to be turning up but i dont think anyone anticipated the amount there was, the motorways were flooded with impreza's and every bridge seemed to have people on waving at them, such a nice atomsphere, and on the sunday we drove from prodrive in banbury to prodrive in warwick and spelt his name out on the test track there! was brilliant, saw some very very special cars too! including "the gobstopper" which is a 800bhp car! me and Sara even took the drive up to Keele services on the saturday purely to drive back down to Banbury with all the cars what else have i been up to? well just this second i have come back from ahyno! blimey that place is not a good place to drive today! 3 cars have come off the road in different places thru that village! Nice impreza in the hedge on the way into Ahyno, then a bit further up an Audi A3 has gone into a wall and according to my brother there's another car thats come off the road the other side of Ahyno seen a few films recently too, get smart which was really good! was impressed with that film and also Babylon A.D which was watchable! been lookin at camera's today, should be getting a digital SLR for my birthday which im pretty excited about currently the winner is the Canon EOS 1000D, sounds like a really nice camera and felt nice to use not sure what else to write about sure i've missed out loads and loads and loads!

Hey, kinda forgetting where i last left off but there we go! thought i'd leave this a while but in doing so i guess i've forgotten half the things i've done! hehe my big one is holiday i guess went on holiday to a beautiful part of Austria, a country which previously i had no interest in going to, never really became too taken on it from the pictures i had seen of the place, never came up as one of those places i'd particulary want to visit. Going there was fantastic tho! did things i've never had the oppertunity to do also, did proper mountain biking! biked down the side of a mountain in Kitzbuhel! mahoosive rocks everywhere! also did a tandem paraglide from the side of a high mountain, wow that was an amazing experience! never experienced anything like it, really want to do more things like that now! Sebs going Sky Diving on Sat and im v jealous The hotel was really cool also! had a nice room, tv was mostly English programs but with German Dubbing, that was amoosing! had a pool, sauna, gym, crazy golf, tennis courts, table tennis and some wierd crazy golf mixed with pool game there too! sooo much money in that area of the world also, Porsche's followed by Bentleys! saw more Audi Q7's that week than i'd seen during my whole life time guess i've got to talk about work too, cant remember where i left off! its good is the short answer! i have more responsibility and more pay, never bad! Ben unfortunatly is leaving, he's been workin there for 4/5 years at a guess, been a good bloke to work with! and helped me out quite a bit which is good! he's going to a company called Pug1off in Brackley, good luck to him what else? hmmm fairport! this years fairport kicked Ass!!! probably fair to say it was my favourite one ever! had a few people going this year, and a lot of cider drunk on my behalf damn that was good cider! Supergrass were the band on thurs, damn they were good live! never been a big fan but they were flippin good live! i had wayyyyyyy too much energy and was dancing all over the place! ended up crashing at Sebs house that night also, think i cooked myself pasta but ill be honest i forget if that was a dream or if it actually happened! (would be a wierd dream?! dreaming of cooking pasta?) on the friday Sara joined to see what the fuss was all about with Fairport, think she understood pretty quickly saw The Levellers that evening! they were good but ummmm......to me most of their songs sounded incredibly similar! apparently a few people i spoke to thought the same thing so im glad im not the only one who thought it! traffic during fairport is fun! i managed to walk to Rozie's house which was about a mile and a half? down the road jus as quick as martin could drive there! amusing! The Saturday i had to work but went down to Fairport Straight after work! the weather was shockingly bad on the Saturday! looked more like Glastonbury than Cropredy there was a guy playin called Midge Ure, i had nooo idea who it was, turned out he was part of Ultravox in the 80's and sung one of my favourite songs of all time! was awesome! never thought i'd hear Vienna sung live was a great moment! also later in the evening there was a song playing which martin pointed out was a led zeppelin song! sounded very much like the real thing.........we then heard that it was the real thing and Robert plant who was the lead singer from Led Zeppelin had come down was brilliant! very good fairport and had some awesome pictures! brought a daft hat like i do every year i go Steve's birthday i could mention, was okay went to MK, fun journey there and back! i found somewhere that sold extra strong strongbow! was wierd stuff! think Steve had a good night and thats all that matters in the last week i've been given a mac from Anton which is very different! very awesome thing to be given im just getting used to it and will probably keep you up (whoever you are!) on how i get on with it! also not sure why im excited! might be getting something next month! but we shall see if that happens im keepin it quiet for now tho just incase it doesnt happen!

just a quick one as im passing thru! i saw bon jovi live at the Ricoh arena in coventry! was very very awesome! me and Sara had "golden circle" tickets so ended up about 10 metres away from the stage! twas an incredible performance! loved it! thousands upon thousands of people there too downside was my legs! stood in the same spot for about 6 hours and by the end of it my legs felt like they didnt belong to me and someone had just attached them to the bottom of my waist was soo worth it tho! the lineup was good, started off with a local band from the banbury area called Richlife, then had the feeling playing, damn if the lead singer isnt gay then im shocked! definatly came accross that way they played a good set tho shocks me thinkin about it, bon jovi as a band have been around for longer than me! they've done over 2500 gigs as well its just amazing, and also loads and loads of women find him really attractive too when he's old enough to be their dad's! he's like the luckiest coolest guy in the world hmm what else have i done! ooo work, ill update on that, its good really! finally got my "powers" hehe am now a full supervisor WOOO WOOO waited a while for that makes life easier for me, think im startin to enjoy it all again, decided to work sunday for them again too, used to hate the idea of workin sunday but i dno, its appealing more to me again also saw wanted last night! very good film in my opinion as long as you go into it thinkin its goin to have a partially warped version of reality like matrix but not? i dno watch it, you might like it! ohhhhhh and and and, i dont usually find angelina jolie hot but wowzers she was pretty hot in that! (mayb it was the kick ass girl with the gun thing? mayb thats attractive? or scary? ) tryin to work out what to do tonight now, have a few idea's but cant decypher which is the best to do sure ill decide Alan.

Hey All! i write this whilst in an odd mood, listening to Goo Goo Dolls, damn i like that band but for some reason never listen to them, am i the only one that does this? has music they really like but just never listen to them and couldnt sing/name half their songs? meh who knows! also obsessed again with Jimmy Eat World, cant stop listening to Dizzy from their 3rd? album i dno (chase this light) one of those things where i really wna work out what the lyrics mean, i keep thinkin it must be about an ex or something where they both deny their feelings and appear angry at each other yet when their eye's meet they cant deny the feelings they conceal inside (wow that was deep for me!) love the line as well "you said you never have regrets, is there someone yet who got that wish, did you get yours babe?" think its the way it was sung or summat! something v awesome happened this evening! something i dont think ive mentioned on here previously, as you all know (i think) i live on a farm, we have sheep (two sheep and three lambs at the moment) one of the lambs was born with a absys or something on his back which caused and infection stopping his rear legs working, anyway weeks have passed and me and my family have been out their at various times trying to make it walk again, this lamb has an incredible thirst for life! always wants to be made a fuss of and is always trying to improve! been trying to run away from me to its mum too, previously its tried this with no success, its rear legs dont work and it just falls over, today it actually managed it! was so so amazed! took it off its bail to walk it and to my shock it started tryin to move its rear legs and kinda did! it ran from me! (quick little thing too) and stood up eating the grass, sounds kinda small and mayb even pathetic for me to say but to me that was massive and shows that it wants to improve was so so so happy to see that this evening! far from okay but definatly improving Right! so onto what i've been up to! wow quite a bit shockingly! most of last week was spent working, work is good really, getting more what i want have a department which is now my responsibility and its good! have a couple of people who have been really odd to me about it but generally its good Friday however was my day off slept for a lot of the morning from memory, but saw Sara for some of the afternoon which was wicked! went and had a walk round mk but didnt actually buy anything we came up with the idea of goin to london on the sat to go shoppin (well Sara came up with the idea and i decided it would be a brilliant idea!) so we just had a wander round a couple of shops, had a pret and headed back damn im addicted! been introduced to the Tuna sandwich's and the bacon and cheese baguettes (think they have ham in too) and their heavenly! im addicted also had some elderflower juice, ever get a perception of what somethings goin to taste like but find your totally wrong? expected it to taste totally different to what it does but still really like it Sara if you read this ever, thanks for introducing me to pret did a very very different thing that evening! Colin's birthday so mags? decided to organise punting! very very different! kind of fun i guess think it was because we were tryin to race tho! although on the downside felt v much on my own, when everyone was chatting it just feels like im with a completely different bunch of people to what i used to know, some people like Seb Bartlett and Colin i dont think will ever change too much, but i dno, feel so much of an outsider to everyone else, which should shock me and upset me but doesnt to a point, think its just the way things are going. I dont know, could be totally wrong! Hope Colin had a great Birthday didnt really get the opertunity to ask but seemed like he was enjoying himself, thats another thing that annoyed me about that, shame more people couldnt go, annoyed me also about how i think the selection process went! but ill be quiet about that. looks like Spain are about to go through in Euro 2008, not sure if thats good or not not really fussed about it now, Holland are out and England were never in! not many other footballing nations that i'd like to be sucessful to be honest anyway where did i get to? scrolls up AHH Saturday! the most bestest awesome day woke up early (for me!) an went to Sara's for 11? and headed for the nations capital! London! we had a route of where to go which Sara's dad kindly drew for us, twas directions for a good place to park we actually did incredibly well and found it with no problems! headed down Oxford street to do shopping, was relativly quiet down the street at that time of day, went thru a couple of shops with no luck! managed to find some sunglasses in The officers club costing me a whole.....Ł4.50! yup im the last of the big spenders after a few more shops went into Selfridges, damn that place is gianttttttttt! sieriously big, had some REALLY nice things in there! although as usual, with really nice things you get the nice price tag loadsa different designer clothes, Sara managed to find a couple of nice tops including a Superman top! and a couple of firetrap items which reallly looked good! and they were in the sale too! sorted! myself, i had been unsuccessful all morning, decided we wre both hungry and headed to guess where.....yup my new favourite place to eat, PRET! whilst in there realise there was parts of Selfridges hadnt checked, went back to selfridges and i found some tops One firetrap top and one Energie top, spent more than i usually do, but REALLY liked them tho! after this we basically just walked round, Sara found a pair of shoes that were v v pretty! after a bit of umming and arring she decided to get them, which was a damn good choice! that finished off our day of shopping and we headed back to banbury, not gettin lost on the way back either when we got back to Sara's we decided fish and chips were required! yup thats right we didnt want them! we NEEDED them! searched on the internet and it turned out one of the top ten fish and chip shops in the uk was in mk! would be rude not to try it really wouldnt it?! Sara's mum was nice enough to let us take her new tt and said i'd be allowed to drive if i wanted to Sara drove us to mk and we found these chips, i had a nice meal of Sausage and chips! and went to escape where we ate them before going into the cinema to meet Rich Rachel Laura and Steph to watch "the ruins" WOW was a completely aweful film! i expected something partly scary, but it wasnt! it was complete waste of time! was about vines that can mimic people and kill people. Im really not goin to waste anymore time about talking about that, ever get the chance to watch it.....dont! avoid it after the film Sara offered me the keys to her mum's car, was one of the moments where your thinking "wow thats sooo awesome! although do i trust myself enough......." decided i would forever regret it if i didnt! and it was SO SO SO SO SO awesome to drive! i want one! handling and power spot on! loved it only car i've ever driven with 6 gears too, i now want a new tt on way back thru town from Sara's to mine saw someone who i hadnt seen in ages also, Matt who i used to work with at Comet, was really nice to see him again, shame tho cos sounded like he'd had a pretty crap evening! that finally brings me to today! worked....thats it sorry about such a big post! hope anyone who decides to read this is still awake!

heyyyyyy again, sat at home tonight bcos quite frankly i'd rather bite my arm off than go to the pub! (never thought i'd hear myself say that!) really cant be bothered! more drama than corrie and i personally think a lot of it is riduclious! certain people who will remain nameless are just doing my head in with what they're doin at the moment, and a lot of people, some of whom i thought were semi decent people seem to be the worlds biggest hypocrites (sorry dont think i can spell that) with minimal sense in their "brains" sorry rant over for now....i think kinda a good job minimal people read this otherwise i could get in trouble for writing that but tis my thoughts and opinions. back to what i've been up to then hmmmm starting off on Friday, was meant to be my day off......... worked the morning which tbh im not goin to moan about, was pretty good met mike for linch and had my usual 10 Oz Gammon steak.....mmmmm gammon steak, YUM! finding spending lunch with mike once a week pretty cool, means we get to catch up an he's a good mate who i wouldnt wna loose after that went and got my hair cut, EVERY time i go to get my hair cut its someone different cutting it, sieriously bloxham barbers must have a massive turn over on staff although cant complain, i like the way it was cut and didnt cost too much at 3 o clock met seb to go bowling, had a couple of games of bowling, me winning one game (somehow!) to word it simply, Seb thrashed me in the first game second game it looked like he was goin to beat me, until towards the end where the scores got pretty close, on the last go i have no idea what happened! i had a strike and a half strike finishing on somethin like 145, seb was on somethin like 138.......he then went and missed with both throws was very odd and even more unusual for seb! ah well then we went into town, he needed to give some sign up form to his hairdresser for canoeing and we then went to costa (lot ) for drinks and to sit down and chill, twas cool after this we went back home, i then realised i should probably get some of my clothes from morocco from martin's house (he lost my fake armani sunglasses NOOOOOOOO) so went to martins and chatted for a while and picked up my clothes, he had a phonecall then about the 306 which he bought off my brother, to cut a long story short we went back to mine, cleaned the 306 and then he sold it in the evening me Bartlett Seb and Martin went out to Witney for drinks there (well we were lookin for a pub somewhere else....kinda got lost and ended up in witney ) was quite amusing really, then went to oxford so martin could get chips with curry sauce, walked round Oxford for a bit and headed back (i was asking people why they were wearing flip flops in the middle of oxford too which was apparently embarrasing....whoops!) i did practically nothing on Saturday in the day dont think was v bored! cleaned car a bit and think thats it! in the evening went with Steph to Jenny's shin-dig in town for her Birthday, wasnt a bad night me and Ally danced like sunshiners in Que Pasta which ws amusing! Sunday i finally did the bike ride....muwhaahaha was pretty good i sent everyone a text saying "meet at mine at 1 o clock" poor steve mis-read it and arrived at my house at 10, wasnt a problem tho, we started watching superman returns which looks like a pretty good film! wil make a note to watch it if i ever see it advertised on tv people started turning up at 1, we didnt actually leave til close to 2 tho heading first of all to Milton where we found the pub there is actually quite nice then on to Barford and had some cake at the garden open day thing (was good cake!) then onto South Newington for another pint at the duck on the pond pub (where we randomly bumped into Jenny!) then had the muddy part of our journey onto Great Tew pub (was pretty knackered by this point!) and had what turned out to be a really good pint, by this point everyone was pretty tiddly, made it all pretty amusing, the unfortunate thing is that as ya start biking the effects wear off so ya sober up pretty quickly, ahhhh well was still a laff half way between Great Tew and Deddington Paul joined us and Anton and Seb went their own ways (seb biking anton getting a lift ) me Steve Rich Martin and Paul then went for a chineese in Deddington, dang i ate a lot! whooooooops! was pretty good tho! (ya had to pay for forks, how wrong is that!) biked home in the dark with no lights which becomes pretty intimidating but got home okay an thats the main thing that brings me to today! work today wasnt bad! spoke to the boss and looks like im goin to stay at hellfrauds now, think its a good thing, would of been awesome to move to the motorist Centre but unfortunatly with the costs of fuel and everything just doesnt seem cost effective or logical for me with a car that likes to break but with hellfrauds i get what i want (and a slight bit more i think) i become a supervisor which is what i want, i get a nice pay rise and i get more responsibility, have my own area now! and im meant to take charge of some of the staff and try to help them out and kinda train them up i guess and should be sorting a full time contract half way thru next month downside is working Saturdays! im not a fan of working the weekends but guess i've gta take the rough with the smooth! Sara comes back sometime tonight from Monaco too, i've missed her soo much (sorry yes im soppy sometimes ) will be awesome to see her again! sounds like she had a pretty good holiday too which is awesome think thats it from me!

wow got quite a lot of updating to do! im sure ill forget half the things i've been up to been out quite a lot since i last wrote on here! ohhh the major thing to mention first of all is my job, handed in my notice errr last sunday? got offered a job workin for Sara's Dad's company, thing is the job is in buckingham, i would much prefer to work for them its just the commuting with petrol prices etc it makes my decision v v hard, hellfrauds have offered me practically everythin i want so i guess i might just have to stick with them, kinda happy about it and kinda sad, if i would of changed jobs it would of meant more responsibility which is what i guess im after, and it would of meant a new beginning working for a new company! think i would of liked that but alas guess its probably not goin to be sutible! who knows my mind might yet change so anyway back to what this diary should be about, time for me to tell you what i've been up to over the past week and a bit? (well at least the bits i remember to say about anyway!) dno where to start been out in Banbury a couple of times, people seem to be goin out more often now which is good! having some pretty good nights too imo which i didnt expect to be completely honest! but im certainly not goin to moan about it, was meant to be going out last weekend for Carol's birthday but alas nothing seemed to happen about it sux! this is one of those wierd things, i know i've done loads of things but just cant remember what! THINK ALAN THINK i mowed a field with a tractor that was random! finally after months of driving with different alloys on i actually plucked up the courage and got them sorted, the garage next to hellfrauds said they would offer me a good deal and they certainly did got 3 kuhmo? tyres fitted for Ł150 which im happy with! even gave me the motivation to go and clean the car spent quite some time cleaning it which is shocking for me, it even looks red now! OHHHHHHH cant forget my random friday last friday! hellfrauds has a stock take coming up and i was sent to go to the otherside of birminham to pick up the thingy's we need to do the stocktake with, meant to be picking up a big stereo on the way there from hellfrauds in cov, but to cut a long story short, the communication in that store seems to be crap! they sold the stereo we we're meant to be having! anyway picked up the computery things for the stocktake and headed back to banbury when i got back found out Sara had some of the afternoon off, so went over to middleton to pick her up and we headed to Bicester village! i found some trainers i wanted for work and bought a Vans jacket which was work from like Ł55 to Ł15 which im really happy with! wooo! Sara bought an awesome jacket too from bicester village! her's was a bit more than Ł15 tho but suited her soooooooo much! anyway! after this we decided some grub would be a good idea! and Sara remembered there's a good fish and chip shop in woodstock! after getting lost and parking on a stand for the "new mini clubman" we found this chippy and damn me it was good! v good sausage and chips, oooo not forgetting the onion rings too, they we're yummy! sooo what other random things have i done? well the other day me and Sara went to Stratford in the evening, was v v v v nice although they're making the theatre there mahoosive! also looks like they've got rid of some of the trees in the park where the bandstand is (Where i used to work) which really really sucks! also spend a evening v similar to this last night in henley (henley is such a nice place!) felt really safe there and the grottiest pub looks just as nice as the nicest pub in banbury! (struggling to think of a nice pub in the middle of banbury but thats not the point ) oh and they had the coolest cash machine! twas in an old door! wont be goin on any random trips like that for the next few days Sara's goin on holiday in looks at watch about 2 hours! goin to Monaco for the next 4 days the lucky girl! will miss her loads! OHHHH THE BIKE RIDE! yeah this is an idea thats been put together, basically biking from pub to pub getting more and more drunk! i think its genius quite frankly! lookin forward to it quite a lot! and the last thing ill mention is goin to the pub the other night, went with Sara Steve Anton Martin Rachel Mags Rich Rozie and Tommy B, tbh not much to say about it, not enjoying that even close to as much as i used to, people i thought i knew just doesnt seem to be the same! people all have to watch what they say, lots of whispering between people and semi bitching! its all become a little bit too.......i dno really, cant think of a word to sum it up, ahh well! life changes i suppose! right its tired, im goin to sleep! late shift tomorro, not sure what to do with my evening tomorro mite see if anyone from comet is out Alan.

here i find myself again writing into the abyss of nothingness although it makes a really nice reminder of whats happened in the past (when i read this in the future) (does make sense...right?!) anyway, my week! hmmm guess im goin to touch upon somethin i mentioned in my last post, Indiana Jones, in my opinion it was an amazing film! wierd to think that harrison ford can make films of that quality with that much action in 20 years since the last one! i was 1 when that the last one was out (mayb not even that old) what seems to have annoyed me is having a conversation at work earlier on this week, i was having it explained to me about how it was a bad film......from someone who hadnt seen it jus really cheesed me off! anyway rant over and back to the real world! Tuesday was amusing, got to hellfrauds at 9 in the morning to find everyone stood outside...turns out the electric had gone off and not come back on properly, causing the shutters not to work meaning we couldnt get into the store, anyway to cut a long story short we were stood outside til 11 waiting for people to come help us get into the shop, i had a football in the back of the car so went and kicked that about for a bit! Last night went to Chacombe for Mag's Birthday, was good! saw quite a few people including some who i havent seen for a while! had some nice birthday cake too hehe that pub even has its own facebook group?! how wierd is that! i have a problem, i have a great idea jus no idea when to do it! next sunday i was thinkin? having a bikeride whilst visiting pubs on the route, would be good, see if can get a lads group to do it, might be a laugh?! watch this space an see i suppose not sure what else to talk about really, hope your all okay Alan.

my last few day have been odd - there is a statement you probably hear from me far tooo often, i basically say them when i cant decide if they've been good or bad. Now mainly its been full of work pro's - money, nice people (mainly) con's - where do i start.......its hellfrauds?! and its got forkin miserable customers generally speaking BUT i've had some other things goin on, first and foremost my knee hurts, decided biking to work had to cause me pain somehow, think its kharma? its helpin me out by gettin me slightly fitter so at the same time has to hurt me sux! random story, i could of gone anywhereeee on a train yesterday? (was it yesterday) but knee was actually hurtin quite a lot and didnt fancy too much walkin also left it late BUT in the future i sooo wna buy one of those tickets and jus hop on random trains how random would that be! back to today (wow my english teacher would of killed me for layin it out like this, swappin talking about days like i swap my....socks!)(wouldnt really care if she did moan anyway, never liked her ) this evening was meant to be goin with colin to see the dude that was the lead singer of Led Zeppelin and Allison Krauss, unfortunatly i didnt think i'd be able to make it because of the time work finished and thought someone else should enjoy it with colin jus so that no one missed out because of me instead had a mahooosive pizza hut with Sara, twas awesome! and watched Stardust (yes i should be highly embarrased by admitting that, but it was acrually BRILLIANT!) so yeah if anyone ever gets the chance then watch that film oh and Sat night out, moulon Rouge theme - WTF do i wear?! suit? i think thats the general attire for moulon rouge men? meh ill see what happens, ill prob look like im ready for a business meeting whilst everyones dressed casually Alan.

well as i started yesterday i thought i may as well continue tonight mayb fill in some of the bits i missed out from yesterday and just generally rabble about what i've done today Ever start something and think.....hmmm wonder how long this will last! today for the first time in years i biked to work! this meant that i A)had to wake up earlier an im not one for waking up early B)Was completely knackered by the time i got to work C)had a really wierd pain in my ear d)i was cold there was a few pro's to it though, although i know biking isnt a major fitness thing (dont know how to describe it better than that ) i do know that its helpin me to get fitter and the way i see it i do it 3 mayb 4 times a week and those miles start to add up. We'll see tho, watch this space! what else happened in my day? hmmm the usual, some arsey customers some really nice ones, thankfully more nice ones than nasty ones today (unusual!) this evening i've decided im gna have a night in, after morocco funds have been well lacking, goin to africa in a 1966 beetle with 4 lads doesnt come cheaply, especially with todays fuel prices although when i'm 40 ill probably be claiming that the prices weren't that high in 2008 not really sure what else i can put in here so guess ill leave it! kinda a boring post but meh ah well Alan.

right i decided it was time to leave a new message, 2 and a half years on! i would try and describe whats happened to me over that time but tbh i havent got enough time, so ill try and make it brief, reading my last post it seems i was looking for a new car. Well i found it, and shockingly still drive it. Ended up buying a Subaru Impreza Non turbo in the end and had lot of enjoyment out of it, also had a lot of times where i wanted to kick ten rounds of sh*t into it so what else has happened in my life, i left college....admittadly it was a year after i was meant to! thankfully the lecturer's were'nt as in-human as i thought at the time and let me continue a year after i was meant to, meaning i could complete the course! (achieving a pass grade) guess i should talk a bit about work, well i left comet (by mutual consent) guess my time at that place had merely come to an end, they were gettin fed up with me and i was getting fed up with some of them, think it was for the best though, made some awesome friends thru that place and hopefully will stay in contact with some of them for a very long time. Still end up on some nights out with some comet staff....when you go on a comet night out you'l realise how hard they are to beat! which leaves me working full time at hellfrauds, hellfrauds is good, but at the same time still lacks something, not sure how much longer ill stick that place out but knowing me it'l be quite a while yet! im rubbish at leaving places what else has happened in my life? well i guess the main thing to mention is i found a girl an fell in love an to me it feels great, words i never thought i'd see myself writing down in a diary type thing but there we go! makes life feel better when it doesnt feel too good, i know what i mean but i dont think i worded it very well should mention friends and changes really, since i left my last post its fair to say i've made new friends and also lost some good friends, which is unfortunate but the way life goes i suppose! adapt and evole? somethin like that anyway, tis fair to say the old group of friends i have aren't anywhere near as close as they used to be, and dont do as many things as often or nowhere near as random as we used to do! guess thats part of growing up though. Cant remember the last time i had a party with everyone. Sometimes it crosses my mind about throwing a party where people can crash over but i dont think it appeals in the same way unfortunatly. and just the random things i've left out, well i've travelled (a bit) did a charity trip in a old 1966 beetle a couple of months ago which was certainly interesting, covered about 5000 miles around europe and africa. The fair way to word it is interesting, did some wierd challenges on the way! going into old trafford with a liverpool flag?! tis nuts raised some money and saw some parts of the world i never thought i'd see. Also seen me do stuff i never thought i'd be doing, some good some bad. Same as everyone i guess think this is pretty safe to fall into space and time, Well i dno if anyone will ever read this but feels better to write it Alan.

(copied from MSN MySpace) ok ok ok... i think i finally killed my car now i dont know what to do, dont know what car to get etc, looked at soo many but cant decide, spent practically the last two day looking at every car possible i reckon anyone got any suggestions? sporty, quickish, nice looking and not too expensive (up to Ł3000) anyway apart from that i suppose i should explain whats been going on in the world of me College, finished college juneish time but have to go back on Thurs to do my IVA, bcos i have to do that i havent bothered to go get a full time job, not sure what sort of full time job to get eventually though, Comet's goin gr8 at the moment anyway so im not in a rush for a full time job, get kinda bored sittin at home a lot though. Halfords is also good ohh yeah anyone who has seen my new comet uniform will know how err different it is, i prefer it to the old uniform and dare i say it i think im starting to like it (mayb im the only person in the world who does?, Bright orange shirt rly doesnt work on its own!) kinda sat here nervously, gotta go to the dentist in a min, i can guarantee i will come out there feeling numb somewhere (dont take that the wrong way!) always hav to have stoopid injections (alan doesnt like needles, dont get me wrong i dont have a massive phobia, but i generally just dont like them!) Weekend was good, kinda find myself going out in Banbury more and more often, Sat night went out with a bloke from work, Laura, Paul & Dan, saw a few people down the club, few people who i know from a couple of yrs ago then there was people like Denis Gangi and Sean who we saw, kinda had a bit to drink that nite, not a stupid amount but enough to make me do a "chair" dance and stick a stool thing on my head and start walking around with it, hmm Gangi's fault! (Laura found it funneh too so cudnt be too bad) had some pole dancing there too which was interesting ahem. On the way back to pauls house, some chav asked for 30p, we were trying to work out why 30p (sounds kinda little) Mike (bloke i work with) thought it was because when ya pull money out your pocket he slowly says more and more eg "ohh i see ya hav a 50p peice there that'l do" or "ohh you hav a Ł5 note, that'l b nice" Paul (i think it was) thought mayb that wud buy one fag or something? me....i just dont have a clue! 24th and 25th of September, what are you doing in the evenings? as some of ya know, its my 19th on the 25th, so here's my plans 24th Probably jus go out around Banbury on the 24th, as this isn't everybodys thing will do something on the Sunday too...Everyones a winner 25th Planning on going out for a meal, probably pizza, chineese or something, wudnt mind a indian but i think im going to be inviting too many people for that mayb? think thats just about coming to the end of my first blog, if your still reading...congratulations to ya, either you wanted to read what i had to say, or your like me and really bored Alan.

Managed to run Pauls ankle over, hehe shudnt laff, hope its alright now geeza, was just a shock at the time, as i was going along! in tesco's he decided to try and get out of the vehicle, for me to hear "OWWWWWWWW &^" (thats my way of censoring swear words btw) Hotel was alright, mine and Ally's door was erm...different in the fact that it didnt work properly and was a slide along thing, but u wud slide it close and it would slowly start moving back open so everytime we wanted to use n e fin in there would have to take the door off the slider, push it against the hole in the wall (where a door was meant to be) and stick a chair up against it, one time i ws luky in the fact that everyone was out the room and i'd just had a shower, i thought i propped the door up ok....but didnt, half way thru drying myself saw the door fall in what seemed like slow motion thinking ohh no please dont let n e 1 be in here, luckily there wasn't, literally a minuite later Steve n Ally walk thru the door and by that time it was all ok, i ws lucky!!! On the way back me and steve were singing (and dancing in some cases) to Queen and otha stuff, was mad and random, entertaining though, some songs if steve didnt know the words he would erm, make them up or hum loudly to the sound of it lol all in all was good though, would i go bak, yeah prolly wud mayb (i think im probably the only person that wud though hehe roight what else, got my car waxed yesterday, it was shiny for like....2 hours! ws soo pretty (Sexy car!) was crazy on the way home frm work someone who i went to school with decided to race so was going quite madly from Banbury (obvioustly legal speeds though! ) hehe work yesterday though, we had the "clean air" stuff ya spray in computers, i managed to realise if ya turn it upside down it actually sprays out liquid but its v cold!, sprayed the warehouse guy on the arm for a while, and it ended up burning him whoopsydaisy also locked the manager and one of my colleagues in the office for a while which ws gd , Halfords on the Wednesday ws good as well, duno why just went quickly, found out someone i work with had scratched his windscreen when putting something into his car. Ahh works gd at the moment Yesterday evenin me Anton n Seb decided to go to a random village pub, after a bit of searching we went to the new inn in Middleton cheney, so took Emma out with us to have a drink, wud b a fair thing to say that martin got a little bit tiddly and started spouting out Random crap, t'was amoosing, nice little pub that we even managed to find a table woweeeee instead of Bartlett Tuesday on Tuesday we went to the service station which ws nice and Random, saw Kylie n Hannah, me Martin Bartlett Laura n Ally went, t'was nice and fun next Sundays whats known as FITP (Fiesta in the park) so i shud be taking my car up to show it off there, that shud b good, quite looking forward to that, ahh im soo sad...but ya love me really anyone know of n e fin coming up that mite b interesting? im listening to the Keane album, never really listened to it all before, his voice sounds too similar for my liking, each track on its own would be ok i suppose, but all of them togehter, just not really my cup of tea, sorry for anyone who likes it Dans floorfiller album in Wales had some really good tune, and that Krazy frog rly annoys me now!

Hi everyone, how are ya all? at the moment im sat in a office printing letters to send to people. Im having one of those days where it drags on slightly, had lunch with Anton, went to bugga king after Anton went to Halfrauds and i went to Comet to check what hours im working this week. As ya all probably know im doing work experience this week, work experience combined with two jobs is a nightmare, im doing 9am til 8pm every weekday and then 8:30 - 6 on Saturday and 10 - 4:30 on Sundays, doing that for two weeks without a day off v tired now, Sat night went out with Dan & Paul, t'was gd, went into Yates put it was packedddd so went up the bowling alley, had a game of pool n stuff til about 11:20? and then went to the Exchange, i did pretty well in there, free entrance (bcos im lucky) and then had free drinks although i was only on softdrinks but that didnt rly bother me, there is a scheme they're doing there where you hand over your car keys and they give ya a keyring which ya get free softdrinks with, although your only meant to get cokes and Orange juice's, i kept managing to blag J2O's off one bar though (Paul thought the gurl was pretty new to it and didnt know that she wasnt meant to give me them ) me and Dan watched Paul dance next to this quite big bloke and it was pretty funny i gotta say, Sunday evenin ws going to do the normal Ally Laura n moi thing but Laura ws doing assignment and Ally ws sleeping?! didnt rly feel like doin owt n e way bcos i felt soooooooo tired, still do come to think of it. works sucha gd laff at the moment (Comet) i managed to "take out" one of the big David Dickenson signs, me and anuva bloke who works there were lobbing stress balls at each other down the shop and i had two really good shots at him and then one not so good one, where it missed him and hit one of the big signs on the ceiling, then you see the sign fall down onto the ground and everyone start laffin sooo much (wudda hav to of been there i suppose) but its rly sad cos people are leaving people i get along well with too, wil miss workin with them, one is leaving cos he doesnt enjoy the actual work n e more, and the other is leaving to move down to Brighton. Had a quite random thing happen the other night, was sat with Laura n Ally in a lay-by and Martin Seb n Anton randomly drove by and stopped, so we went with them to the service station, drank hot chocolate n went home what else can i say...hmmmm we need a group thing soon. Valentines day next week, who was valentine? was it a person? i think im actually doing something on valentines day with...more than one girl, sounds gd hey lol ohh yeah because im soo loved (ok mayb not) think thats the end of this, anything im forgetting? ohh i got a load of foto's developed so if anyone wants to see them just remind me when ya see me next, they'l prolly stay in my car for anuva week or so. ohh yeah Carol, your post sounded sweet, but dont forget your still married to moi, hehe Alan.

suppose i should write about my weekend if i actually manage to get all of this written without getting told off about it, i suppose i should just write about the weekend, maybe a bit longer..... Friday...ummm Carol came to college, wow t'was quite random, her and Nat had fallen out, hope thats sorted now went to the cinema that evening, the woman that works there was being a complete biatch! before the film had started lee ws foning me so was on the way out to answer the phone, got just by the door and had her saying "dont answer that phone in here go out to do it" which strangely enough was what i was doin, so i answered the phone outside, then came back in and Denis asked me to go and get some food with in, whilst we were out there heard the woman talking to one of her colleagues saying "there's a whole group of them in there, they keep giving me evils, one of them even tried to answer his phone in there, i soon told him off though" so as soon as i got to the counter i started laffin, Denis asked me what i was laffin at, i just replied "Just the things you hear" the woman then stuck her head down in what seemed a embarrased manner the movie wasnt all that and a bag of crisps but t'was alright i suppose, the woman banging on the TV scared me soo badly, sounds like i wasnt the only one though On Saturday i worked at comet, had a good day really, one woman bought a Dyson hoover and sold her a 3 year warranty on it, then she explained how she needed a cooker, tumble dryer and fridge as well and she needed them delivered, she didnt go out expecting to buy them on that day...but she still paid me in cash, lets just say it was a purchase over Ł500, crazy! i did pretty well on Saturday, sold Ł3,500 worth of stuff, the closest to me was someone on Ł2,800 so i was pretty wait for it.....chuffed (gd word me thinks) while at work i got a text askin if i wanted to go out in the evening, i thought i would just to see if anyone could get in anywhere, after getting refused at a few places we managed to get into chicago's, t'wasnt that good there really, but ahh well after that went to the exchange pub bit, didnt stay there long either, so thought we would try to get into the pub bit, Martin luckily saw his mum and was like "MUM MUM WAIT" and goes running past the bouncers which didnt stop him, laura quickly walks behind. Androo gets stopped and shows them ID and Ally follows behind, she had her head down and the bouncer tried to see if she was old enough but couldnt catch her quick enough i suppose. I managed to get in for free which ws gd (had my name put down on the guest list) i knew the bloke by where the tickets were taken so he said to shove my name on the guest list which ws nice of him it was pretty good in there, one of the blokes that worked behind the bar recognised me and the last time i had spoken to him must have been ten or eleven years ago, how crazy is that?! t'as gd..all the dancing....ohh yeah the dancing, how we ruled at that lol wasnt really quite sure what was going on with Androo's Seatbelt/starwars? move but ahh well, and Martin the arm one (cant really explain it, u shoved your arms above your head and swung them around, nah makes no sense.....but it was good) and the "beyonce" bum thingy, ahh that ws funny left there at about 1:30? ish couldnt hear anything, ears were well screwed up! Ally and Laura went and then got burgers/drink and i started taking them home, everyone here should know what my driving can be like, in the end Martin ended up smacking his head against a window and i skidded to a stop because someone said they were going to be sick, they were'nt and i think probably got a odd luk from the bloke in the petrol station when we got back to androo's house Ally and Laura decided they felt sick...hmm wonder why that was, but they were'nt, dropped everyone off and got home at about half two, got woken up in the morning and did nothin until had lunch, had some family over for lunch, my uncle and cousins, in the afternoon went and did some shooting with my brother and Dad, my Dad managed to shoot a starburst off the top of a post from about 15 metres? away, did pretty well! did some assignment work and watched the Football, later on in the evening went out with Ally n Laura, saw Anton for a bit, VERY randomly my mum told me to take laura's mum a plant, something to do with my mum remembering me telling her about a convo i had with laura's mum about plants or something i dunno v odd. Anywho went to Antons and luked at some old foto's from yr11 and such. Bowwed a DVD from Antons dad which luks gd. Had a work experience interview this morning, luks set to happen now at a place down by the college, full two weeks working with computers, ahh well. That brings me to now, spk to ya all soon unfortunatly i wont be going to Dans next Sat but hav fun everyone Alan. "boooooooooooooooooooo."

Hi everyone, havent written on here in a while, so i suppose i should now started this twice and forgot about it so this time ill finish, lol hmm anyway i suppose ill start with this weekend, Friday evening went out with Denis & Paul, went to Tommy Flynn's, The Exchange, Bowling alley (before getting kicked out), Yates and Rylands, slightly eventful evening, Paul "thrusting" a police Riot van to annoy em, Me and Denis not realising he had done this Riot van stops and police get out, ask Paul what he did, Paul says he doesnt know, then he says ten seconds til he takes him in so paul shows him, they say a few words then leave, drove round for a bit with Paul also screaming out the window while me and Denis are cold! went down by the Police station and saw a bloke i work with who has a really big mohecian, he cud hardly fit in the car, gave him a lift to his house when he remembered where it was! On Saturday i worked at comet, 9-6, had a hour in that where the selling was amazing, had some rly gd customers too,one bloke came in and walked up to me explaining how he wanted a home cinema system, and said how well do they sell, i said that i cud promise him that i had sold two panasonic home cinema kits in the past twenty minuites (which i had) so he said hmm ok, printed him out a feature sheet so he could see about this one he liked, explained to him how the sound quality ws really gd being 1000w so i said something along the lines of the proof is in the pudding, shoved a CD in there, within five minuites of it playing he clicked his fingers and said "box me one up" so i did then his wife went ohh i want one of those eye things, i was confused at first but she said for the playstation, worked out she meant a eye toy, so got one of those, they also said they needed a Scart Cable, i showed them the monster cable's, one at Ł45, the bloke said that was too much, then saw another one which didnt have a price on, asked the manager bloke to get me a price on it, he said Ł65 to which the woman replied "we'll take it" so that ws gd went from like Ł700 to Ł2000 within a hour because of some good sales sold a good amount of stuff for the week really that evening went to Tommy Flynns again bcos there was live moosic (4 bands to be precise) heard one and then left, went to Sebs for a while, watched a odd movie and went to Antons, Seb & Paul left Antons at about 12:30 leaving me Martin & Anton left, Anton then fell asleep at about 1-1:30 so me and Martin were saying "hmm we shud do something to him" so luked thru the draws for a pen and randomly found a permanate marker! so started drawing on him, was rly hard not to laff, he then woke up looking like this i then burst out laffin blaming it on some guy on tv, dont think he suspected much, Anton said that he wanted some sleep so me and Martin were leaving, got into the hallway, where Anton was on the stairs Anton starts staring into the mirror, then his face suddenly changes and me and Martin burst out laffing, Martin leans back against the door which wasnt shut properly and he falls backwards, meanwhile im laffing with tears, my god havent laffed so much in ages Today went with Paul to Scrapyard, randomly got my car a new backbox for a tenner, fitted it, luks a bit long but ahh well it'l do for now right one of the reasons i havent posted in a while is i wanted to wait to get alloys so i cud put a photo up, here it is finally got them, almost had them for a cruise/meet i was going to but the company scratched the alloys (still wanted to charge me full price though!) i just told them to order me a new set, which they did got lots of plans for that car, luv it right what else, ohh yeah work i was only Christmas Temp for Comet, stocking shelves n all (boringggggggg) so a week over Xmas i thought, their busy and i was asked to do some days selling, i did exactly this and made the company over Ł10k for the week i think the manager must of noticed this because it went from "he wont be here late January" to "would you be interested in staying on......as a sales assistant" so im happy there Halfrauds, seems to be incredibly quiet in the evening so in a way get paid to sit there and read magazines, we had the electric cars and bikes out which are made for 3yr old out on Wednesday evening, soo much wheelspin! blimey the last time i posted was Christmas Day, hope everyone had a good Xmas and New Year, i spent mine dressed as a cowboy in a pub drinking J20, while i was having someone explain to me they were'nt drunk. Visited Androoo's parteh on the way back and gave Laura and Lissy a lift home thinking about going to Barcelona on the 14th May, hopefully wil, depends on a few things , wanna try and get tickets to a Football match over there, probably wont be able to get tickets though Also plannin a "tour of wales" in the easter holidays hehe money's a vital factor in all of this though. College is pretty rubbish at the moment, came incredibly close to leaving during the Xmas holidays, but got some sense from somewhere, although i really cant see myself passing the course wonder what this year will bring, more happiness i hope, so far so good havent been able to top my fone up though top up card expired. i think thats about it for now...muwahahaha ohh yeah Happy Birthday to Lee for the other day, sorry wudda sent ya a text but had no credit as i just explained ohh and Dan & Ally Happy Birthday coming up, duno wot im going to do yet, wil try and see ya both (if ya want ) Anyone got any plans about meeting up?....o crazy idea, anyone who remembers that big photo taken by "the square" someone mentioned the idea today of just over a year on, kinda a update one, i duno how to explain it, but what does everyone think? Alan. "hello."

Supposeeeeee i should sum up 2004 first of all merry xmas everyone hope ya all had a good Christmas! right anywho back to summin up High's There was a good amount of high's this year (if i forget anything will people please remind me in the comments section, ta!) hehe well i guess the best thing about this year for me was my 18th, took a lot of organising and it was the best time i have ever had really, i enjoyed myself soo much, thanks to everyone for making it what it was, the music dancing and everything was just something im not going to forget, Anton's car breaking down and me spinning the car on the road doesnt nessecerrilly sound good but those things really didnt bother me Bartlett and his "your a funny Man" and the congo? line all the dancing, Martin, Lee and the "Sausage" dunno what else to say about that really, just thanks again I guess being as this is a summing up thing i have to mention cars, i remember back early 2004 hearing from Martin about a friend of his who's brother was selling a Fiesta Si, now i knew at the time i couldnt really afford another car and heard how he couldnt decide how much he wanted for it, originally he was going to sell it for Ł500 and just thought "ahh well, not for me then", then after a strange twist of events i could have it for Ł20 (i think i owe Martin a big thanks there ) so after a trip to Coventry i was the owner of a Fiesta Si, first time i saw it i knew how much i liked it, i could see it had a bit of work needed to be done but didnt really bother me, well months later and a summer full of sanding and now its on the road, smoothed boot and waiting for a nice set of Alloy's (should be coming v soon) what else could be mentioned for the high's, i suppose there is quite a few really, its just thinking about which one's to mention, i guess i have to mention the things with me laura and Ally in Deddington, just randomly sitting and chatting about anything and everything! oooo and one major thing that i've missed, passing my driving test, thats the wierdest feeling all year, its the moment after you have taken it where your waiting for his answer, personally i was sat there thinking "dammit i cant of passed" but luckily i did thats where my life changed, blimey the feeling that you can go anywhere, its pretty gd another thing i would like to mention because i just thought i shud mention it is paintballing, kicked ass that night! (i think i finished off 3? of the games, one where bartlett was still alive with ammo, i was lucky ) OOOOOOOOOOOOo and earlier on in the year going down to Bournemouth for the day, that was something that was memorable. V gd day, lovely weather and a really gd time blimey mind remembering everything now (although im sure its missing loads) Northampton, all the cruises up there, been sucha gd laff definatly a experience MAX POWER LIVE: whoa that was good, the amount of models i had my photo with was really good, thanks to Steve, Paul, Rich & Denis for making it good especially Steve for taking the photo's and being patient, also running with me for a while to catch up with Lucy Pinder (one of the biggest Models in this country (literally , and im not talking about stomach))) The final thing i will mention in this bit is my trip to Paris with my family, t'was good fun, v gd bus driver and a city thats oozing with culture The Middle (yes Sara i mentioned it ) hmm i think in this bit i should mention the summer, not really that special this year, not that good but then again not that bad. Spent a lot of it working on the Si, smoothing the boot, seemed to take hours, driving the 205 round fields and the morris minor, i thought that thing would never start but somehow martin magically got it going. Summer seemed to come and go, college should be placed in the middle i suppose, its had its good moments and its bad, i really miss the people that were there in year one but its nice to see the new faces that have just started, we hav some good times there, and some....not so good times, but thats like most things i suppose. The Low this is the part that i would prefer to be small, hopefully it will be, depends upon what my mind thinks of first of all debt, managed to wind myself up into over Ł1000 worth of debt, cars have a habit of doing things like that, now it seems to be going down quite nicely and the sale of my first car & getting two jobs did me favours. Another low i will mention is death, personally i had never been to a funeral before a couple of weeks ago, as some of you know my Aunt died of cancer about three? weeks ago, funerals are something i dont really want to go to again, not the nicest of things, makes me realise that im not the strongest of people when it comes to things like that. As mentioned earllier a low for me is people leaving college, hasnt been too bad, have seen them every now and again so that could be worse, not as close to some people now as i was twelve months ago, but change is inevitable i suppose. New Beginnings Jobs, in November i opted to go and find a job, i always liked the thought of working in Halfords so i thought i would get a application from them, didnt get a response so thought i would have to apply for somewhere else, took out a load of applications and thought i would just see what happens, got a application for comet and got a reply from them within a couple of days, a day after comet responded, i got a interview at Halfords and got a reply from both about the same time, so thought "why not take both" had a few people saying "you'l never manage to do both jobs" but so far so good, met some nice people at both jobs and have learnt things from both, Comet contract ends on the 8th Jan and Halfords is til whenever also meeting new people through other people Endings the selling of my first car, happy because i got the asking price for it but sad because it was (obvioustly) my first car. Most Random event of the year This is probably the night out the other week, was at work and got a text from Katie (a girl who i know thru a friend of a friend i suppose) asking if i wanted to go to the cinema, i was bored and thought why not, i think a lot of you have heard this story so i wont mention it all, basically it ended up with me Dan & Ally being sat in a House in Solihull at one o clock in the morning with some people we had only just met watching Robbie Williams sing jazz! Hopes for 2005 This year we hav to try and get some sort of holiday/road trip sorted. that would be good fun. I'd like to get my Si up to the standard that it is in my head (hehe) i wouldnt mind a relationship of some kind, not particulary desperate but wud b nice err dunt know what else to say here, just a good year really Just randomly want to mention music, there has been some goood songs this year, and my music tastes have possibly changed as the year has gone on BLIMEY i've wrote a lot! thanks if you have read Roll on 2005 i suppose!

wow what a weekend Friday night was well ok i suppose, thanks for everyone after youth club, if ya went you will probably understand what i mean. tried to get into Tommy Flynn's to listen to a madness tribute band but Colin & Bartlett didnt have ID, shame cos it sounded gd too, drove round for a bit and then just sat outside Whately hall for a while chatting and listening to music loud, also having paul asking Chav kid's if he cud help them Rich's dad then randomly appeared and were talking with him til about 12:30, Work the day after was really quite gd, i was working in the warehouse moving stuff about for a while, then randomly found this box which had decorations and tinsle and stuff in it, as it was Christmas and we had got all our jobs done we thought "lets make this place look christmassy" the guy that works out there is pretty funny, there is like this board which is there with a couple of page 3 models pictures on the manager complained about it, so he took it down and moved it to the wall behind and then we made it look festive we put tinsle everywhere and opened one of the disco lights and got it going, shoved on christmas music put quite a lot of tinsle on the door to the warehouse and a couple of ballballs?! there is now a little note on the window sayin "merry xmas from Santa and all his little helpers in the warehouse..." hehe Paul helpfully came and took my car so he could clean it in the evening went to a cruise in Northants, took Denis and Paul. It was awesome! to start off with it wasnt that good but it got better as it went on, when we were going into Northants was following Tom (this bloke with a Si) and he almost spun it on a roundabout, then we all sat in TK MAX carpark in Northampton, looked awesome, there was a long row of Fiesta's one bloke had his sound system playing nice and loudly there was a really nice foto of my car and someone else's car taken, i really like it then there was the line after those photo's were taken it got interesting, we were going to going to morrisons "just around the corner" well, basically some of us tried to go to morrisons but got lost eventually we found where we were meant to be going, not after having to turn round twice, this video describes it all click here for video also trolley racing TROLLEY RACING (right click save target as if you want to save it on your computer ) unfortunatly as we were going into the morrisons carpark the lad in the Si infront of me (the one who was parked next to me in that foto i like) smacked into a kerb and punctured his tyre, after a little bit of work he had a steel wheel on , while this was happening another bloke in a Red mk5 Fiesta (newer than mine) was driving round the carpark with Tea trays under his back wheels, t'was funny and entertaining, sparks flying everywhere and spinning around after a while we all left and went our seperate ways, went back to Banbury and decided to cruise around for a bit, was in the matalan carpark and this corsa drove around, thought nothing of it and then left the carpark, a bit later we left the carpark and saw them again at this set of traffic lights, they flashed the warning lights and then we went the same way as them, followed them around by hmv and was messing about, then they let us go infront and followed us for a while, did a lap of Banbury and went into Matalan carpark again, was going in and out of the lamposts, she was following quite well while i was hearing Denis and Paul going "there's three of them....and they luk fit!" then decided i wanted to Take Denis home so went up to Cherwell heights, they were following where i was going, so took Denis back and then they went infront, they would go in the direction i would indercate (basically they didnt know where they were) she was then being clever (quite gd at this) and going round and round and round the roundabouts, i followed for a while, then she went up a road she obvioustly didnt know and kept indercating left then right because she didnt know where she was going, i would then indercate and she would go that way, went back into Banbury and back into Matalan, the car then tried to reverse out the exit and misjudged it and went up the kerb, i think that embarrased her so she then decided to slow down and we left them dropped Paul off then started going home, going along the Bloxham road saw these Blue flashing lights behind me, thought to myself "im not speeding", so i pulled over, the police officer then comes over and says "i didnt like the way you pulled out of the top of queensway, you accelerated a bit quickly" something along those lines anyway, then asked me if i owned the vehicle, then left! today i worked at Halfords 10-5, t'was quite boring really built two bikes and collected a few, did some work for the parts department and just generally did jobs for people.

right this is the second time i've tried to write this, last time i got cought writing it so had to stop. Frosty the snowman was a happy likkle dude! anywho, what shall i write about, My Weekend, Friday Night, well started off at about seven, went over to Antons house and went up to Bicester, we were meant to be going to the BCC Social but decided we couldnt, this was for a few reasons, one was that we just wouldnt of fitted in, and would of stuck out like a saw thumb because obvioustly we dont go to BCC (Sounds like we did miss out though, some girl was there in a rara? skirt half way up her ass hehe ) so went up there and apologised that we couldnt go, explained that we'd try and come back later. Took a trip down the M40 and ended up at Middleton cheney, saw Sara to make sure she had long hair (dont ask!) and indeed she does sorry thats random i still didnt see the BMW Mini though! then headed off to youth club thingy which ws gd i suppose, chatted kicked a football around (i really dont do that enough ) someone organise a football kickabout in spiceball or something, wud b gd! anywho after that was meant to go with Anton for someone's 18th ended up with Colin & Martin at the bowling alley somehow though, stayed there for a while listening about what happens at Anne Summer's party's! then decided we would go to a pub, was going to go to Yates but they wudnt let Colin in, so we were walking around and noticed that Tommy Flynn's pub had live music coming from it and it sounded rly gd so we went in, it was good, stayed there for about a hour? prolly go back there this Friday while we were in there Anton was sayin "im at 52's and r u ready to go to Bicester yet" so had to leave, me Colin n Martin sat outside the cinema for about 10-15 mins waiting for Anton to come out of 52's then realised that he was actually hammered! had to give his friend a lift home so took her to Grimsbury, then went and filled up with some petrol, told him what i was doing, all i got in reply was "oooohhhhhhkaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy illllllllllll pppprrrrrrrroooooobbbbbbaaaaabbbbbbbbbllllllllyyyyyyyyyy fffffffaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll aaaaaaaaaasssssssssllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppp" (okay ill probably fall asleep) came back and was chatting to Colin and suddenly heard dripping water, thought "ohh no he's playing with the petrol pump" he wasnt! there was steam coming off my car door, off my dash off anton and off the floor, he was sick everywhere! sorry thats yummy i know. Saturday i worked in the day, delivered a oven for someone in Souldern, they had a big Vauxhall Zafira and i had my Fiesta Si, how come i had to take it!? she had the bigger vehicle, some people gah, just didnt want her vehicle damaged i suppose, massicired one of my speakers delivering it In the evening went with a girl to the cinema to watch the incredible's, not a bad movie i suppose cudda bin worse. After that finished went and met Ally n Dan at the bowling alley, and Dan's mentioned the rest of it really, and how it envolved us ending up at a house in Solihull drinking coffee (water for me) with some people we had only just met whilst watching Robbie Williams sing Jazz at one o clock in the morning (yes i know, not random at all!) Sunday wasnt a gr8 day, some people will know why. In the evening went with Laura & Jenny to the cinema to watch Bridget Jones (Sucha Chick Flik! nasteh!) Sorry about that Sam (u'l know what i mean) hope ur feeling better now. Yesterday (Monday) had the day at college nothing speshial really in the evening went with Anton Martin n Seb to the service station, me and martin wer quite hyper i'd say, was dancing around whilst some girl ws on the Dance thing! (got some odd luks) did u know they now sell flavoured oyxgen now, how random is that! erm Stayed there for a while then went our seperate ways (home) Today didnt have any college this morning, so got a lie in and managed to do a couple of favours for people and try to clean my car (sort of), on the way into College gave Anton my car keys (dangerous or what!) and he's guna go clean the mess he made Soo who's going to Paul's party? i wanna see a lot of people there! and the more people in santa outfits the better (sexy santa's rock! (im talkin to female's there)) im going to another cruise this Saturday, shud b a laff also might be buying a merc (mercedes) for Ł50, project with Martin, we'll c what happens about that though Gah i hate decisions ive decided, dont really like my life at the moment because of having to make all these decisions! Jobs College Life and other things, its not nice and its starting to get to me, ahh well it'l get better i hope (sorry that bit was depressing) Can i now say! (as Nat just pointed out to me) BLIMEY THIS HAS BEEN A LONG POST THING! COR BLIMEY GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY N ALL THAT Alan. "good things come to those who wait"

Hi, how is everyone? gd i hope blurgh dunno wot to say Coheed and Cumbria - Blood Red Summer (i like, dunno wot anyone else thinks, had to listen to it about three times to like it but now i rly like it) heheh yesterday worked in halfords, accidentally set the alarm off and had the police in, you know when someone says "if there was a red button, wud u press it?" i did basically underneath the tills in halfords there is these two red buttons and i just thought i would see what happened if you pressed them, nothing seemed to happen until about half a hour later when three police officers come in and say a alarm had been set off, my manager then shows me where the alarm was and i then admit that i pressed it :$ went out with Martin Seb & Anton last night, was driving along the Bloxham road when we noticed Rich's mini, so followed Rich bak to his house and stayed a while, Martin ws playing with Brick phones be rly gd if one works they needed "speshial codes" though weekend ws different, work ws ok on Sat, i was actually allowed to sell stuff (for a while) because we were one person down and the store ws very busy, made the company some money, and they will get some more soon i should imagine, one lady was nice to me and asked if i wanted to take her purchases to the counter because she thought i got comission on them Pauls party on Sat night ws ok, i didnt rly enjoy it dunno why but nm as long as everyone else had fun gah i got college today..got one assignment that should be in this afternoon, might not have a lunch so i can get it dun, undecided. Yesterday i was described as a Golden boy this year, such a change to last year! i rly dont like change ive decided, things seem to go from close to perfect then whoosh change and then blugh bad, then get better and get gd again. And then blugh go back down to being bad (this isn't making n e sense is it?) well i betta be going hope to cya all soon Alan. "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for the next"

Hi Everyone, ive just finished work, Comet n Halfords Halfords ws really good, shop was empty so this bloke from the bike bit brought one of these electric scooters down and went around the carpark on it, i was quite worried at first, when i first got on i was a bit un-sturdy but as i got used to it it was rly good, nippy things too gd laff Comet ws ok, ran out of things to do though was moving the fridge's and things about, then the bloke i was doing it with walked off so we stopped! hehe anyway rewinding to the beginning of the day, college....im just feeling like a cant be bothered with college, thanks Diana! but ill get thru it was chatting with someone from comet about it and they couldnt work out how i was doing it all, i cant work it out either but somehow im (just about) keeping up with college work and the jobs. Might have somewhere else to work as i was reccomended (highly reccomended i think) by two people for the job, not sure what i will do about that one though, my contract at comet runs out on the 8th of Jan so ill just see what they say. Anyway after college finished (sorry went of the subject for a bit there) went down the police station and brought Denis along with me (if anyone wants to know why i was there it was because paul was being a ass in my car! (no offense paul but u were ) and i got in trouble for it because i was the "owner of the vehicle", had to go and hand a load of documents into the police station) went twice infact because the first time i forgot to take the MOT certificate with me. Max Power london this weekend, can you believe we didnt have a single copy of Max Power in Halfords ! i dont think im going but if anyone is interested in going let me know and i might change my mind, someone i work with halfords was saying about it and i was just thinking about the one in brum we went to and thinking what a laff it was so might be taking a trip up, very undecided though. If do go it' prolly be Sunday, what are people's thoughts? what else can i mention? n e idea's? nope me neither! ooo first time ive used my foglight tonight, its soo calming driving through Banbury in the fog its odd, although cars go wierd they first decide to indercate right and then they change their mind and indercate left! two cars in a row did this to moi Alan.

Also went to pick up ma fone during my lunch, saw a couple of people in town whilst picking it up, its wierd thinking about how many people you can see in such little time! hehe work was strangely good today (mentioned before) i think im actually starting to enjoy working there its kool! it has its ups and downs i guess (just like anywhere) what else to mention? hmmm Anton's birthday thing tomorro, everyone's invited me thinks, text him for details (07753492600) ooo Si update (because im sure everyone loves to hear it) boot has all been professionally resprayed, it luks soo nice, spoiler has been professionally sprayed and fitted too and goes on a charm, took it to a cruise on Saturday night (hav i said all of this before?) gd laff, luking forward to the next one need to go out more, town seems gd, but only touched the surface, also need new years party, anyone got any idea's? wud b nice to have one alltogether, i dont want to have this one as well, and dont really want one outside again i think Paul wanted a new years party early, so we might have to think about that....IDEA'S PEOPLE!

wow im quite tired, been a busy sort of couple of weeks last night was really good, went to a fiesta cruise. I enjoyed myself, i went up in my Si (with recently resprayed boot) and Colin took his mum's zetec-s there was 17-18 car's there, some really nice one's we stayed in sixfields carpark for a while and then some of them decided to go up to the bowling alley bit, that was the more faster car's really (RS Turbo's & a XR2 with a 2.0L engine and Nos) almost ran into a Chrysler in the carpark....whoops only a couple of people had gone up to there so me & Colin took our car's to get the other one's, then we were all at the Happy horse pub opposite Bowlin alley. Left , there after about three quarters of a hour and went into Northampton, it was good cos there was a line of fiesta's, it was funny cos people kept popping into the bus lane (wudda had to of been there to find it funny) found this carpark and there was a random 1.1 that luked sort of modified so we all parked by it, in the corner of this carpark, the exhaust tailpipe thing was held on by string after a while a couple more people came, this one guy was crazy its great every time he went anywhere he wheelspan off, there was a couple of modified car's that kept driving around the carpark, there was a mini that was doing laps, we were going to clap it but it didnt come around again whenever this Clio came round one of the guys who was sat in his car would just shout "its sh*t!" funny but again i think you would of had to of been there, had a older fiesta come down with a 2.0L engine and Nos apparently he had a laptop in the seat controlling the engine, krazy! left after a couple of hours and went to a petrol station for photo's to be taken n stuff, then drove home. Not a lot else to say, both me and Colin were going too fast on one roundabout but nothing bad happened really wow i took ages explaining that, the night before that went to a party, the party itself was pretty good, could of been better, walked back to my car to find that someone had ripped my numberplate off! that was annoying, i had got the car back that day from the boot being smoothed and sprayed, that was the first time it had gone out with the numberplate there! ive been working quite a lot recently, need the money, Halfords is really good and Comet aint so bad ooo went to the fireworks a couple of nights ago in Bodicote, not bad not bad dunno wot else to say really, how is everyone?

hehe had a pretty good night last night. Started off quite badly, got off motorway, went into Bicester, got to where the party was and some bloke decided he didnt like me and Paul and threatened to put my window thru, Anton was then unsure where to go so we went and met him at Tesco's and drove to the right tesco's (there's two in Bicester) Then it got interesting ya cud say.....i thought it would be sensible to cut accross the Rugby playing fields so we were going to jump over the fence, stupidly i jumped without thinking so i thought yeh ill get on the grass the otherside and start running....that didnt happen what actually happened was i went over the wall, no grass there instead a Ditch which went up to my waist! Paul and Anton stood there p*ssin themselves! i then decided i needed to get back so Anton just said come back the way ya went in, so went back into the freezin water, and tried to grab anton's hand, the wall was higher than i realised it was wierd, took me a while to get a foothold and climb up...i was soo lucky though, Anton had a change of clothes! sucha good idea Paul also had a good idea and said that we shud put the clothes on the bonnet, so we did Then went to the party, Martin & Bartlett joined us a bit later after my fone had died from being wet so i spent a quid on foning them from tesco's to find out where they were. Soo random but Nat was at the party had a good time danced a bit, and a couple of slow dances which people kept giving me wierd luks and trying to make me shove my hand on this girls ass! After this drove back to Hannah's and stayed there a while, got fed and fought for a sofa but thats a different story. Took Paul home and finally got home at 2:00 this morning. then was woken up at 8 something this morning and had to go to work at comet, got to comet at just after quarter past nine and got told what to do, finished my first job by about twelve (at a guess, didnt have a fone so was just guessing) then had a different job for the afternoon, Paul randomly came in and cudnt say a lot cos was busy, sorry m8!. The people there seem alright, quite helpful gotta go there again tomorro at ten til god knows when also have my OTHER job at halfords which starts on Monday only doing about six hours at halfords though, dont think im going to have much of a social life anymore, we'll c though ahh krazy, im going to be soo tired tomorro, got a tiny halloween thing going on tonight, that'l b interesting hehe, think thats about it. Sorry if i've forgotten anythin Alan. "Sometimes the hardest part is getting started."

Hi everyone, good day yesterday i suppose, went to college in the morning but got told we wud have the afternoon off because our teacher was ill so me and Denis took advantage of this and went into town, got Paul his b'day present (Xbox) hope ya like it m8! hehe and we went into matalan and asked this guy if we could have some of his cardboard boxes he gave us such a odd look it was funny, then my mum foned and asked if we wanted a lift, so walked to morrisons (Where Denis works!, i really hope someone saw him with all the boxes) got home nd did bog all for ages really, then Martin foned and wanted to come and work on his car, so he came down, then i was saying about how i REALLY wanted to drive the Si, and my brother randomly said he could lend me the money, so i said yeh sure, drove the Si to Deddington and got some Tax and was like Wow! i can actually drive this for real, its sooo much quicker than my other car, and apparently it passed the paul test in the evening went to Paul's 18th thing, we went to topwok, it was pretty nice rly i think i had 2 starters (although my first plate was bigger than it shudda bin i think) and then 4 puddings, Jellllllly!, dunno how many courses Dan had but i think he was doing ok. Got the bill....bit more than i expected but ahh well, after that we decided to go to the bowling alley, me Seb Paul Colin & Rich went to get the car's, Seb & Paul wanted a go in the Si so they did and we ended up at the bowling alley, had a few drinks, games of pool and woteva, then decided that we shud actually have a game of bowling, t'was quite funny to start off with, Steve was first on the lane next door (we had two lanes) and went and bowled down our lane instead, t'was quite funny i dont think i did too well at that as i was messing about a bit too much, was trying to persuade people to dive down the lane but no one did thought Dan or Paul might but nah no one did! hehe, stayed up at the bowling alley til they closed and people left blah blah, that left me Paul Steve (although he went home pretty much straight after) Dan Denis Seb & Colin, we thought we wud try the clubs but everywhere was pretty tight on ID, then Colin & Seb left. Me Denis Paul & Dan tried a couple of places but no luk really, then watched how it took about 6 policemen to take one guy down, we just went and sat on some bench by the cross and was just watching what was going on. Some guy then walked up to us and explained how he thought he had been hit by the police, we dunno if he had been or not, his face ws bleeding n e way. Dan was alright to drive still so let him drive my Si to Denis's. Then he gave me a lift from Denis's to my house & that was my night ova, i prolly shud mention the Rabbit in the middle of the MAIN road Dan basically made a mess of it hehe Alan.

right more news about Friday, i just booked the table for twenty people, she said i could change that for more or less closer to the time though. Err right as far as the night goes it looks like we're going to go to top wok and then for anyone who is interested we will be going out drinking after, we might have a game of bowling after the meal but unsure about this as i guess a lot of people probably wont be able to afford this. if anyone wants to leave there thoughts or idea's then please feel free to. Thanks Alan.

woo what a night, was rly good Yesterday worked in the morning, and saw Laura, Ally, Crip and Chris i think it was?! we went round town for the afternoon, in the evenin Denis wanted to do something...we were going to go round Denis's to hav a party but not enough people were interested so we decided to go round town, which was rly gd, it was me Paul Colin & Denis, first of all we decided to go to the bowling alley!! woo woo, We got there at about 8:45? and booked a bowling lane for 10, the person who worked there said we might as well stay about, have a drink and come back when it was time, which we did, i think we had a couple of pints in there, Denis tried to chat some girls up, they came and sat with us, Denis got one of the numbers when they left. Skippin thru time, it got to ten so we started to play, lets just say its a challenge to play when ya hav had something to drink, cor blimey!. Colin, Denis and Paul got worried bcos first of all i went and got some money out, then went to the toilet and they were'nt sure where i was hehe i think i got 88 altogether which wasn't soo bad got a half strike too. Colin won with 117 or something. After the game we decided to go somewhere else, went down to the Toad? i think thats what it was called, pretty nice place very packed, i thought (as did everyone else i think?) the barmaid was asking to see our ages, but actually she was asking how long we had been waiting , Paul just said "colin's been waitin all his life for you" t'was kinda funny at the time. Ł3 entrance fee to get in there and we stayed there for about 20mins?! that was a bit silly. Went down to the exchange but couldnt get in, so then walked around a couple of places, Went to some place opposite Chicago's, it wasn't that spectacular really, only just got in, me and Denis obvioustly had ID but he wasnt sure if to let Colin & Paul in, what we didnt know was this place was just about to close, had a quick drink, me and Paul danced to some really random song which had...interesting lyric's, i rememba something about a "wa**ing bear" and then us singing it to the best of our abilities. After that place Paul decided to go home, and had a rly nice burger which i had some of! on the way back we were screaming "Oasis - Wonderwall" while going down the high street t'was gd Denis bought me & colin a burger which was nice of him, cheers m8! the onions in it were owwible so i put them on the floor and spelt my name with them (quite nicely dun too, got a pic on my fone) we decided after that town was becoming dead (this was about 1 in the mornin i think) so we went to Colin's car to go around town for a bit, on the way there we saw a load of police so i cleverly said that colin shud get breathalysed just to check that he was ok to drive, he was luckily, so we drove around for a while, coming down the road by the police station we were following three pretty nice cars(modified Beamer, MG and some other sports car), They got to the roundabout near morrisons and stopped, Denis says out the window "you alright fellaz" something like that anyway, they were looking for the town centre so colin just told them to follow us, They did and then we took them down the high street and down by chalky's, stopped there and chatted to them, they had come down right the way from london and wanted to see how good Banbury was or something, i dont think they were impressed. We just left them there for a while and just drove around, then decided we wanted to see if they were still about, found them again by Debenhams, they were just on there way back to the motorway, drove with them for a while then they got on the motorway so we left em. I think thats about it, Went back to Denis's for a bit watched sum TV, chatted then colin took me home. Alan. "A day without sunshine is like, night"

finally i have broadband, thats my one good thing my week has been odd, i think thats the best way to describe it, Finally having got broadband after waiting 3 months for it is stoopid! my car finally decided to die this week, and will not be working for about ten days apparently (t'is a bit of a biatch that) The ignition has gone on it (cant turn the key basically) The suspension mount has gone on it and apparently the rear shocks hav gone on it (wouldn't surprise me) anyone who's advisin me to scrap it...don't! i still wanna get sell it i need to get money from it to insure the Si ohh the Si is meant to go to a garage on Friday to be MOT'd we have started fitting the Air Filter i got for my 18th, it wasn't quite the right one but i think we worked out it was ok. Randomly bought a spoiler for it which luks ok i think, just need to get a few bits sprayed. Went to see Wimbledon yesterday (fort i was going to watch that collateral movie but ended up that someone got the times muddled) That was also random that i watched that, just watched it...bcos no more driving for me for a while, its owwible really i don't like bein a passenger i prefer drivin and my mum wont insure me on the 307 thats a shame cos that wud b kool to drive. hope everyone's happy n ok College is different still, havent got used to it agen yet. still can't stand a large amount of the teachers Thanks for taking the time to read hehe ohh does anyone think Autotrader is a good place to advertise my car?

I saved two lesbians from being killed (yeh i shud b a national hero i know) they were going to walk in the road when a crazy bus was coming and i pulled them outta the road woo! - Evening life has become slightly earlier now (earlier gettin home) because of college but still hav sum gd times, - the nights coming in earlier is a bit of a biatch because it means kinda less things to do, still wanna see people tho' - Anton has now passed his test so i get driven most places now which is gd bcos saves me money..BUT its howwible being a passenger, i just love to drive basically - my Ł20 project car is coming to a finish, shud b taken to a garage tomorro and sorted out, then MOT'd...It'l be awesome when i can drive that, can't wait rly i guess i shud just finish with another thanks for yesterday guys it was gd and nice to see ya all. Gd to see ya all thanks for coming and making it a night to rememba ohh and if people still wanna add to the "Young gifted and skint" box, they're welcome to, thnx if ya hav contributed already!

i havent posted in agesssssssss i wud say i dont have the time which is partly tru as i strangely seem to be out til like twelve/one each morning plus i dont actually have the internet at the moment, at the moment im payin to write this which is really bad. Well dun to everyone who got their GCSE results bak yesterday hope everyone got what they wanted. Personally i got one result back yesterday and as paul said "WE GOTTIT WE GOTTIT.......WE GOT OUR D" hehe was very funny to hear peoples reaction's woke up early yesterday and went with Paul to get Steve from Banbury Bus Station and Carol from her ikkle village miles away. we all got to college about 12 and all got the same results, me and paul ran the envelope's over before we opened them....strange thing to do i know but hey seemed a gd idea at the time, basically just spent the rest of the day about town and pauls house, pauls mum very kindly bought us all lunch in the evening went to Adderbury for the party thing there, it was erm different ill say, i guess it was alright but just had some things happen which were a bit bad. well i havent posted for like a month so ill sum other things up. - The bank im with have lost Ł150 of my money - Been working on the Fiesta Si, hope to get that insured in October (late) got two new Tyre's for it (Ł70 for the both) fixed a gd amount of things on it, only have to change the indercator stalk now and the fog light then it shud b rdy for its MOT, very excited about possibly being able to drive it, for anyone who doesnt know, its quicker than my one at the moment, my car at the moment is a standard 1.1 and the Si is a 1.6 Twin Cam 16 Valve Injected thing and its gr8 - Went to Cropredy festival, had to mention that, it was fun we didnt have tickets so we stood outside on a trailer and danced basically. That was fun people were clappin us and Lee just seemed to fit in perfectly with his hair - Spent nights at service stations drinking Hot drinks and chattin which is random but gd - dont think ive had a early night in agess, seem to be out til like 12 doin god knows what - Went to Northampton to See Arthur (the movie, not some dude called Arthur that lives in northampton) i really liked that movie but i think i was on my own there as i think it wasnt everyone else's 'cup of tea' - not long til my 18th now, blimey its worrying! - am i the only person that thinks this summer wasnt as good as the last bcos of the weather?! - Waitin for Broadband, it shud b here by the 3rd of September so anyone who is wondering why im not on msn, that'l b ur answer i think thats about it, i've probably missed loads out but no matter i think i forgot to mention my party which i had yonks ago, cant rememba if i mentioned it b4, went well n e way and randomly went to Stratford with Laura & Ally a couple of weeks ago and had fun Alan.

Last night went to Kylie's with Anton and ended up watching a movie, t'was pretty gd rly. Happy Birthday Steve! Happy Birthday to Martin tomorro duno wot else i can say, had a couple of gd days rly spending time with random people, yesterday ws v gd Alan. "All things grow with time, except grief."

Not sure what else i can say, just to say hopefully this summer wil b excelent. Alan. "What you are capable of achieving is determined by your talent.

sorry i havent posted in a while, been too busy really :$ first of all i guess i have to mention the end of the college year, hated breaking up because i know next year will be different whatever, The head of the course has already said to Steve that he can't come back which in my oppinion is very harsh and i think u shud complain steve, ur choice tho' Carol Won't be there next year cos she's planning on going to Oxford College so gud luk to ya! Nat Might not be so if ya do go to Uni or whatever then gud luk as well o now my favourite bit to mention, MAX POWER basically for anyone that doesnt know Max power is a car show for modified car's and has lots of fine Women walking round in...well not much really i had my photo taken with about 50?! women including some slightly big models like Lucy Pinder, Lelani, Jenaii and the Cheeky Girls. Photo's can be found at http://www.e-swoosh.co.uk/hoes that day ws a gd laff, cheers for lettin me use ur camera Steve some pretty noice cars there including a Porsche 911 that had been modified by a company called Charisma who have also modified a TVR Tuscan in the past last week (i think it was) went on Holiday to the Isle of Wight that was alright i suppose, a week without driving though is torture! bought a digital camera while we were there which is now annoying people things r expensiv there, Red Bull - Ł2.50 for a can in one place wasn't the worst weather in the world only rained one one day i suppose Update on Car: This week got a new Chrome Tailpipe for it which was slightly confuzzling to fit but in the end it turned out alright, Debadged the boot and then decided to put the fiesta badge back on but in a different place, also fitted the 6x9's properly so that there aint wire's lying about everywhere and also got the correct connectors this time been spraying interior bits even more :$ hehe sprayed part of the rear wiper body colour which is probably a mistake but ahh well, i sprayed it partly silver first but then ran out of spray (whoopsy!) got told the interior luked smart yesterday which ws nice other things that i've been up to recently have been Crippy's birthday at Adderbury which ws ok i guess, for some reason i was quiet for most of it, i duno just a quiet day i guess, also on the same day i think Seb & Anton came down and we were going thru Deddington and randomly saw Laura & a couple of other people so decided to join them for a while they then biked to Adderbury so me & Seb drove there, we waited in Adderbury Park for agesssssss waiting for them (slow bikers n all) Stayed there til Seb & Anton had to go, then Me Ally Laura went back to Andrews house in Adderbury and played Pool n table tennis, by the time we finished it was dark and cudnt exactly let Laura and Ally bike home in the dark with no lights sooo cleverly fitted TWO bikes in the back of my car with three seats being used, only slightly damaged the door so not too bad really . Was meant to be in Newquay this week with Rich n Paul but after a lot of thinking i decided i couldnt afford it so didnt go, sorry guy's hope ya had fun, im sure ya did i worked all on my own in Adderbury on Sunday instead of going, and that was alright i suppose, i did it all on my own which was slightly hectic but a good experience. Had one guy confused about charging but i think we got that sorted in the end, not many kids there so it was quite laid back. The Event was something to do with lukemia, people walked 14 miles and raised money, i think all together they raised something like Ł6,000 which was really gd. Done quite a bit of driving this week, seem to have been everywhere, been busy i've started organising my 18th which is in September so that shud b planned in good time (i hope) Laura's off to France today for twelve days so hav fun i think thats about it hopefully this summer wil b gr8, if its anything close to as good as last summer then we shud all hav gd fun Alan.

half a day....luckily, didn't get much done (how unusual!) this afternoon we decided to do something, so me and Paul went to Deddington to decide what to do, after a while we decided to go to the prettiest place in Oxfordshire (which was actually in Warwickshire) we picked up Ally & Laura and went to Steph's house to pick her up and she was actually at Sainsbury's, so we went there the place we went to was actually rather pretty after that (because the prettiest place was actually a lay-by with a pretty view) we went on to Shipston (where there was also nothing) so we went to Lower Brailes where we went to the park, it was actually a really nice park with some good "equiptment" we chucked a ball about for a while (til about 5) then i took ppl home. When i got home i saw out brand new car, its very nice, jokingly i said to my dad "Can i have a drive" he said yeh i could take it along to Warriner's, so i called his bluff and started it and reversed it out, he didnt stop me so i took it along, it was actually quite nice got a fone call from Anton asking if i wanted to go play Football at Deddington, so i did, me Paul Rich & Anton played, i think i went thru each time (we did Final's things) left there at ten, Anton gave me his rear speakers which are ok Alan.

today was random...couldnt find the room for the tutorial this morning, so went into town, saw sucha funny thing a "Ferarri", well.....Toyota actually looked very much like a Ferarri but it was just missing "something" me Paul Dan & Steve were up in Lakeside (Bowling) and a car pulled into the carpark which luked like a Ferarri, pretty much straight away me and Dan noticed something wasn't right with it, so when we left the bowling we went for closer inspection, we noticed the interior was a Toyota interior and on the tax disk it said "Toyota". It was actually a MR2 so Paul stuck a note on the window saying "THE CAR INFRONT IS A TOYOTA, FAKE FERARRI", we sat down for a while seeing if the owner would come back but unfortunatly she didn't so we just went round town (like we do) going thru town i noticed the people that owned The Toyota Ferarri (good memory) so we followed them for a while, Paul and Dan were in a book shop with them and Paul screamed "Dan look at this Ferarri!" in some book and apparently they got a right odd look from the Toyota Ferarri owner unfortunatly we lost them though, wudda loved to see there faces when they found the car on the way back to college some random drunk was saying stuff which didnt make a lot of sense, so people started saying stuff back (Dan & Paul really) Then he just screamed "C'MON THEN!" and started runnin at us hehe Alan.

not much to say about today, this afternoon i went into town with Ally and got the photo's from yesterday developed also got them put onto CD so that was a easier way to upload them before i went into town waited outside Ally's for a while for her to wake up (everyone seemed to be tired today hehe) so bought nuts, its still gr8 when we got into town the car park was very full, had to park right on the top, in town we couldn't think of a lot to do so just randomly walked round waiting for foto's to be developed. When they did (eventually) get developed decided to go to Halfords to meet seb, he wanted to look at a few things so we went there, he didnt know the size of the speakers he wanted though (nice preperation before), me and Ally were "play"fighting in there and she has baaaaaaaaaad nails which my arm now knows. Took her home after a de-tour to the co-op and thats just about my day over ohh Holland went thru on the football which is gr8 Alan. "Never give up on what you really want to do.

today was different very different, busy busy busy i had a lie-in this morning which was nice, then this afternoon i pretty much mowed a field with a tractor, odd really. Then my mum asked me to do a delivery to Steeple Aston this evening it got interesting first of all i was going to get a lift with Rich in his mini to watch the prom and we were going to pick Anton up, then i foned anton to see if he was ready and it was actually him Seb & Kylie that wanted a lift so i thought i better take a extra car so i drove too At the prom it was very nice, everyone looked very beautiful in their dresses and smart in their tux's (that makes sense, right?!) got some nice photo's (well paul did, i felt outta place with fat camera so paul tuk all the photo's) pictures can be located here: Prom04 after they all went in i gave Seb, Anton & Kylie a lift back to Anton's house then off to youth club, played football for a while, used my spork to eat ice cream and played a game where you had to work out what the other person would answer (dont ask! ) then after that i remembered Anton & Seb were at Kylie's so i went and popped by for a couple of hours and watched some of 8 mile i think it was, quite good from what i saw, Saw that and chatted til about 12:20 then on my way bak home i remembered that people were having there after prom in Adderbury so i thought i would say hi, t'was quite odd being there but nice really, got a nice hello from people stayed there til about one when i thought i betta be heading off hope all you yr11's had a good day Alan.

gah second time. Woooooooooooooooo Happy Alan im really really really Happy, can't stop smiling Today college was hmmmm so so got let out early though so that was a bonus (brucey bonus!) This afternoon wasn't up to much til i got a fone call from Martin "can you give me a hand tipping this mini over in the scrap yard, i need part of the exhaust from it" so i thought ok, i told my dad i would be out for about twenty min's while i help martin, walk in the house about a hour and three quarter's later explaining it took longer than expected (whoopsy!) after the scrap yard i picked my brother up from work experience (they do they're work experience in year 10 now, that's.....different) on the way back i went into the post office to get a form to get my Si taken off the road, the guy in the post office own's a very nice fiesta so was chatting to him, he explained something interesting to me, my fiesta is not a mk3 but actually a mk3.5, the other day when me & Martin were cutting hole's for the 6x9 speakers we noticed that there was a bar in the middle, mk3 fiesta's don't have the bar's there (so are easier to fit speakers to) where as mk3.5's have the pole along them. this evening i thought i would try a game i havent played in a while, you have to pay for it now but it does have a free trial, i thought i might try the trial, unfortunatly the trial didn't work, soo..... at seven o clock i thought "stuffit" i phoned my dad up and asked for permission to use the credit card, i was allowed as what i was doing only costed about Ł4 ordered the game and went to a event this evening, it was such a gd laff, i hadn't played in about 8 months and everyone seemed to remember me (i was resnably well known hehe) some people remembered me but i was unsure who they were (whoops!) t'was a gr8 laff though, made me smile and to top off the day Holland went thru and Germany went out! YaY! Ohh and just randomly, everyone listen to this: be happy and keep smiling, if something seems bad its probably not as bad as you think, usually a cloud has a silver lining and even if it is slightly bad when a door closes a window might open /Alan's wise words are over.

Wahey England won! well done lad's! Today was rather perquiliar (can't Spell) this morning went to my dad's work to take them some thing's, my dad couldn't go because he has a bad back or something, i filled up my car on the way back. This afternoon i took Ally to some place beyond Bicester, can't remember the name of the place, quite a pretty place with like a massive house and garden centre, we decided that we would go into Bicester and meet Crippy & Laura and we went round there for a while, When we got back to Deddington we decided we didn't have anything to do so just sat about for a while then went and picked Laura up, Laura wanted to go to Burger King so we did, Laura & Ally had happy meal thing's, Laura didn't get the toy she wanted so i went and swapped it for her then somehow worked out that i was her and Ally's father really odd, then started pretending to tell them off very very odd. Picked Crippy up and went and met Paul to go to youth club to watch the football, They had a fat projector and we watched it on that, it was really good, we won 4-2! yay After the game ended me and Paul went driving round "Beeping" went round Banbury first and got a pretty good reaction the best one in Banbury (in my oppinion) was these girls who shouted England at the end of my beeping , then went round Random village's, Even milcombe had people cheering, then on to Chipping Norton (sucha random place to visit) went thru the first time with a couple of people cheering, on the way back outside one of the pubs there was a line of people cheering, some even on the road, and i had to pretty much stop so i didn't hit another car, On the way back from Chipping Norton Laura foned up the Radio and requested a England song, when i dropped everyone off they finally played one gr8 night Alan.

Today i worked at a lovely place in Bicester everything there was gr8 the kids were very well behaved and i had a really kool conversation with a kid who must of been about 4 or 5 dunno what he said really The people there were very nice to us and brought us food and everything, the house was lovely, it was quite big with a decent sized garden which fitted the assault course in nicely (and thats 115foot long) The atmosphere there was very pleasant so work was really enjoyable today. Adults were racing as well which is always entertaining! its gr8 we did have bits of rain where i was meant to test the slide, when it gets wet it gets very "Zippy" i went down it and there's a wall thing at the botton which is meant to stop you, i was going far too fast and flew over the wall! hehe After that these adults went on and said something quite wierd, one said she didnt want to get her top wet so was going to take it off, then one by her pointed out that it was a children's party, ok that probably didn't make sense on here but at the time it was kinda odd Alan.

today i worked t'was pretty good really Worked at a place called Chesham at they're carnival, first of all we had a bloomin van parked in the way and he didnt come back for a while, we had the full assault course which is a lot of work and is really really big Me My boss and a guy called Joe ran this, it was ok, had a lot of people although they didn't think we did and they might of conned my boss at the end (i dunno either way) During the event i was at the top of the slide for a while and far too many people were at the bottom, Joe was meant to be at the bottom sorting them out but he had gone for a wander, so i was franticly Radioing my boss with no avail, i was having to control everything, there was a girl at the top who was scared of going down, so while sorting everyone out i was having to persuade her to go down the slide, i didn't realise but my boss had actually lost his Walkie talkie so couldn't hear a word i was saying, a while after that all got sorted out i was at the bottom and kept pressing this "call" button and i could hear a very very faint sound, im very surprised i heard it but eventually tracked it down, it had somehow made its way underneath the maze nothing happened really til we were packing up, my boss had gone for a wander and again dropped the walkie talkie, meanwhile some adults that had had too much drink broke the fence and were jumping on the slide, i think Joe asked them to get off but didnt get much of a response. Eventually my boss came back but by this time they had left, again i was left to find the walkie talkie Alan. "A slip of the foot, you may soon recover.

First of all Congrats to Paul for passing im sure everyone will have to watch out now (Hooligan!) This afternoon i went bonker's my car was in for a service (getting wierd noise fixed) so while that was being done i decided to destroy my parcel shelf, i decided to cut them to peices so i can put 6x9 speakers in, this didnt go too well, Martin did the first one and the measurements were a bit bad so it was bodged, hehe I picked my car up and it cost me Ł35 which wasn't bad, it sounds fine now Saw Paul n Steph for a while, Paul had to go and pick his sister up so we went down the grove with him, from there me & Seb went and met Anton and went on to Deddington, us three & Ally & Laura went to Castle grounds for a while which was ok Alan.

today was different...thats what ill call it n e way woke up at about 8:30 this morning and i knew i was going to drive to work, anyway was ready to go and thought i would get some things outta the boot. while doing this i stupidly left the keys in it and my mum decided she would give me and a guy i work with a lift to Stratford, luckily he foned and said he was going to be a bit late so went home, within about ten minuites of being home i managed to break into my car without damaging anything perminatly, i wont tell anyone how i got in because they might copy me i only did it though because i knew about the car and where it was a bit venrable. Anyway finally picked this guy up, on the way up he was on the fone trying to find out what he did the night before hehe. when we got there it was incredibly hot and throughout the day it was probably too hot and scared people off, quite a few kids got burns from the Slide. we packed up at about six?! and went for a couple of drinks at a nice bar near where we were, one of the people i worked with decided he wanted to live in this seat because of the view and how everything was just so nice. After this the car wouldn't start so i got a push start, we just blamed this on the starter motor or something. By now the football had started and the first goal had just come, i turned the radio on to see who scored or woteva, the radio kept cutting out (unusual i thought) but i kept driving anyway then when i got to Ettington i pressed the brakes and realised what was going on, when i pressed the brake the radio went off so we turned the radio off and just had the handheld tv on. As i was coming into Banbury i noticed that when i braked the seatbelt light came on. Then when i was in Banbury it got even worse, when i braked the car actually started stopping so at a set of traffic lights this other guy i was with actually got out and started pushing, one road we went down had a speed camera and because it was on a hill i couldnt use the footbreak so the handbreak had to do. Lukily i got him home but when i got there we lifted up the bonnet and after a while it overheated (doesnt it just get better and better) i phoned by boss and he was going to come and give me a tow, no one had rope though so Dom (The guy i was working with) ran to his dad's house to get some while i stayed at his house and watched England lose the football (unlucky though) he had been saying for ages he thought England would lose 2-1 and he was right. When he got back my boss was there and we started towing the car, it snapped three times on the way home (once on the top of queensway) but eventually i got it home, will either have to get someone out to have a luk at it or just take it to a garage.

woke up quite tired this morning, went to sleep at 4:30 and woke up at 8, one of the first things i saw was Dan walking down the stairs i think, then he explained later how he went to sleep downstairs on the floor or wotva and woke up upstairs by some wooden brick things, quite odd really, lucky you were still in the right house though Also this morning dan had a shower in a paddling pool using a hose (the pictures will probably circulate soon) got to College and wasn't really tired, so just kept doing what i was meant to do in lesson, can't really rememba what the first half was about but i think it was something to do with the assignment some tick sheet or something. At the break Paul & Denis went home and me Steve Dan Carol stayed although most of us seemed quite tired. We then had some woman for the second half which made us write something about ourselves on the board and write our name & somethin to do with Presentation's (yeh how....different) bleh! had to do our own little presentations towards the end too, i chucked a peice of paper at steve and he threw it back, the teacher didnt notice when i threw it at Steve but when he threw it back it hit her so she "kept us behind" after the lesson i took Steve and Dan back to Brackley, was quite cruel to a car on the way hehe slowinggggg down for the corners quite considerably. After i took them back went to luk at these computa's my dad was telling me about which he MIGHT get (probably wont though) i got two cheesy flags for my car too got a couple of hours sleep this afternoon and then took Colins car to garage in queensway (well my dad took it) pretty much straight after that went to Banbury cinema to meet Seb & Anton, we went to Brackley, picked up Steve Kylie and Hannah and then drove onward to Northampton, at Northampton we had a while til the film started so we went and played with a mini rugby ball, it was fun really when we watched the film it was really, good, great effects and some of the younger actors have sucha a bright future ahead of them, in the car park at the end i was trying handbrake turns and another fiesta noticed and wanted to race, i said no (i wouldnt stand a chance in a 1.1) so took Steve home.

Diana's lesson this morning was boring agen basically i was doing assignment work i think i actually managed to complete a assignment amazing really, not much else i have to say about that lesson. I got another hotdog today, the nicest type of hotdog in the world i feel i have to add (Rollover) this afternoon we got letters back from the people we sent these things too, me and mark got a gd responce i guess (7 replies back) there was one guy though who was a one man buisness (we called him Dave) and we were meant to be sending them out to manufacturer's but unfortunatly about 4 out of the 7 pointed out that they didnt actually manufacture anything (thanks to Yell.com for the information ) this evening was Denis's Barbie, gawd that was interesting gd laff basically most people drank too much (as ya expected) i only drank like one can though so i could drive in the morning, Dan and Paul kept waking Anton up although he didnt know they did in the morning, they also tried to put his fingers in warm water so he "has a little accident" but paul couldn't do that and ended up pouring it over his arm. there was a remote controlled Thomas the tank engine which even when turned off would slightly move when someone's fone changed signal or something. Anyway i got so annoyed i took it upstairs and shoved it on the bed with Steve then once i got downstairs i started controlling it and it went into a wall Alan.

today was odd went to College this morning thinking that i must revise for the test this afternoon. Went to first lesson and asked if me & Steve could be excused so that we could revise, we actually did too we went to e-21 and started revising its amazing, we did that for about a hour?! then i thought i was really screwed because i didnt have the pink sheet of paper we needed to get into the exam, anywho went home to find it, shock horror couldn't find it there so i just grabbed a couple of other sheets of paper which had details on, luckily when i got to the exam room i was told it was ok and basically sorted everything out, the maths exam itself was i dunno really, i didnt know what to make of it i think it was ok, but i probably didnt do n e gd This evening i went to Deddington to see Ally Anton & Laura to be perfectly honest it was bad, kinda Fell out with Ally, it seemed like she didnt want to be there, she was on her phone soo much and when she did actually say something it was only something negative, i dont think i was the only person that was slightly annoyed by that tonight. I dunno, i went to there to relax after the exams and instead i got stressed, ahh well. Alan. "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."

maths today, Paul just came bak from Download so was asleep Steve wasn't there as he had just come bak from Greece James....dont have a clue where he was Carol.......dont have a clue where she was (i guess she was just being lazy!) so i was stuck in maths on my own.Blah! This was in a boiling hot room with about 5 other people, so at ten thirty i guess it was i went home saying i was going to revise paid Paul the money i owe him and gave him the Top that i got bak from Crippys from yesterday. This afternoon i went with Anton to Bicester, we met Kylie for a while and went and picked Carol and Nat up, first of all we went round Bicester, then round Bicester village (there was sucha nice TVR on the way) after Bicester village we decided to play football in this park we found, t'was fun after we finished playing everyone seemed thirsty so i offered to go get some drinks, that was a mistake! Bicester village was closed so i thought i would get something from tesco, i walked all the way around bicester village looking for the exit and how to get to tesco, after walking up Bicester village and bak down thats quite a distance ill let ya know, i found tesco's and got a drink my next problem, i hadn't got the faintest idea about where i came from so walked down this road and onto a path which i thought might take me back, so i just kept walking and walking and walking eventually i foned Nat to explain where i was (5 miles from Kidlington) but she didn't know where i was either so after walking down this track for about twenty min's?! i ran back and found Nat and Carol agen, had the drinks and went home what a interesting walk Alan.

ok im describing today because Paul was lazy and didn't want to today we went on a adventure to the motorshow, i sat in lots and lots of car's including Mitsubishi Evo VIII Ferarri 612 Scagiletta (summat like that, its not released yet, v nice) Jag S and X Type Honda NSX - Nice car, dodgy gearbox Pugeout 407 Nissan 350Z Honda S2000 Mazda3 - we locked ourselves in that Subaru Imprezza WRX Citroen C2 & c3 * some odd version which was actually ok Ford Fiesta - Wahey! some Ford Funbus which was quite gd LandRover thing's Volvo thing Vauxhall Astra (New one) and otha cars too many to rememba when we got there i tried to test drive a car, ya were menna b 18 but i thought i would try and see if they noticed n e way, unfortunatly after i signed the sheet and woteva, i showed her my driving license and pretty much straight away she noticed loads of stands there and some giving away some half decent freebies. There was a stand with a modified 306 and the guy was explaining about how he bought the car as salvage and has done it up, now it luks really nice in my oppinion. Also saw the max power stand for their show, i really wanna go to that!. I finally bought another mod for my car, sorry my mistake, Paul bought it and i owe him i have a UV light in the passenger's footwell now, it luks ok, ya cant notice it unless ya put something white underneath it Paul also bought some Lexus style rear lights which luk pretty smooth. Saw the Mini adventure too, that was gr8 the mini's there were driven very well, lot of handbreak turn's Me and Paul very cheekily snuck into the Ferarri stand, there was a massive queue to get in, and there was a maserati Stand by it and they were joined up, basically the queue was for both stands so there was a massive queue, anyway we went round to the mazerati stand side and basically jumped over the barrier when no one was looking and jumped the queue soo badly and got to sit in a luverly Ferarri Not much more i can say, gd day out really.

today i worked, first time in a while At first i was controlling the front of one assualt course and the beginning of another but i got changed. While there i was speaking to a guy called Steve Cunningham, he set's world record's, for instance i think he has driven a car the fastest for a blind man, and speed boat. He was explaining how he is now doing something in a plane. I had to control the bouncy castle, this doesn't sound hard but trust me it wasn't easy, croikey! it wasn't really that bad today most people would listen to me, one woman was complaining because she didn't think her child had had five min's on it, i explained how she had so she went and made her husband complain to my boss. not much else i wanna say about the day really, i finally earnt some money Alan.

*PRAGUE TRIP DAY THREE* Final full day im enjoying this place, this morning we didnt really know where everyone was so me & Anton got a tram into Prague and did some shopping, pretty wierd considering they have shops like Marks & Spencer's, Next, Carphone Warehouse (equivilent), Mothercare and best of all Tesco! that's right a tesco's in the middle of Prague. That was really odd we found out later on that people were actually trying to get in touch with us in the morning but they were banging on the wrong door, they were knocking on Room 913 and we were in 916 hehe. Out of luck we saw some of the people when we got off the tram and they told us when we were meant to meet etc. This evening we went out to a posh resturant. Unfortunatly i started laughing which got the whole table laughing too :$ whoopsy! Natalie actually recorded it which was evil after the resturant we went to a jazz club which was a really really nice experience, i really liked that place there was something about it, so calm or something i dunno, took a few pictures in that place, this evening actually managed to get the right tram although it was crowded, on a bus they wouldn't of allowed that many people, honestly ya couldn't move hardly, when we got on this Czech guy asked one of us which country we were from, Estelle replied "England" they said ohhhh Queen Victoria, then she replied " yes and prime minister Lionel Blair" then she realised what she said and corrected herself but at the time it was funny Alan.

*PRAGUE TRIP DAY TWO* after a late night last night had to wake up nice and early today we went to Prague castle, such a beautiful place, i had taken a camera with me and i think the film had fallen out so i needed to get a new one, i decided to buy one at Prague castle, i was warned it would be slightly expensive but i didn't expect quite as much as it was, i paid 730 Kroner's for it i think which would work out at about Ł6-Ł7 i think it was, quite expensive but Prague castle was very very pretty, inside it was lovely the colour's and decore?! was very good, must of taken them agessss to build considering how old it was. There was a place me and Anton walked down with a lot of steps and thing's to buy on the left, some nice peice's of art, there was a really nice view of the city from the castle because its so high up, there was some kinda scary Woman that went up really close to Anton and we were'nt really sure what she was doin, she was from Norway. After we had gone there we all walked to this Eiffel tower luking place, took ages to get there, it was quite a long walk! stopped off at a church place the top of the eiffel tower thing was really high, Prague has two stadium's which i didnt expect, i knew one was a Football team's ground ( AC Sparta Prague but i dont know what the other one was. On the way down from this tower there was a guy infront that stunk, don't think he had ever heard of Deodrant, the three people who went up the tower with me were commenting on it too. In the evening went out to a mexican, was really nice the food was good and the service was exquisite (really good) got directed there by a guy with a massive sombrero (is that right?! massive hat thing) then when we finished there met up with a few other people from the group and the older people we were with left and we went onto a pub thing, i tried a horrible cocktail thing with Fruit in. And had another one or two drink's, we were going to do a Kareoke but they said they didn't have any English music (which was rubbish as Will Smith was playing) so we went onto another club which was quite small but it was ok, Came out of there after a while and then everyone was goin to another club, on the way there something very funny happened but i think its betta if i explain that in person (if your interested ask me) me & Anton decided to go bak to the hotel and got a Taxi, the first taxi driver wanted to charge us 700 Kroner's which was quite a lot for the distance, the second wanted to charge 500 but haggled him down to 400 which was good, it was quite odd when he was setting off i dont think he realised we were English and was saying something and staring at this police car, dunno exactly what was going on.

PRAGUE TRIP DAY ONE this was my first day, very good really it was the first time i had flown in a 737 (only flown in small aircraft's before) it was interesting i quite enjoyed it Prague's a nice place, the hotel looks bad from the outside but its actually quite good inside, the room me & Anton are in has Eurosport and CNN and a load of foriegn channels that have dubbed English programmes This evening went out to what i think was the centre of Prague, very pretty place, there was a castle whcih luked like summat out of a disney movie, really pwetty though, as this was our first night here we didnt know what to expect, we went into Prague on trams which is a interesting experience. We sat in a place by this really kool looking town hall thing with a clock that was meant to do something clever, unfortunatly it stopped doing this at a certain time, basically when it got dark, there are a lot of suspicious people that stand underneath it then occasionally you get them walk up to you offering stuff and advertising thing's, mostly it was people who would say "Strip club that way, here you want card" then it was us replying no thanks not interested, i think we had to say this quite a lot as there was quite a few selling it. Also when we were walking around had two girl's walk up to us and asked us where we were from (nothing suspicious about that, yeh?!) then they started saying other things which made me and Anton realise that they were actually prostitute's, basically me and Anton just ran because they were pretty scary! As i mentioned earlier our transport into Prague was Tram, what no one seemed to mention to us was that at 12 o clock the tram number's change over, so at three o clock in the morning (ok this shud b put in tomorro but i can't b bothered) we were stood by a pipe with a gas leak waiting for a tram that wasn't going to come (we waited between half a hour and a hour) then just all decided to get a taxi as it was a lot easier, it was really odd going in the taxi as it was backwards, i sat where in England the steering wheel would be.

WOOOOOOOOOOO my Ł20 is really gd my day, hmm started off ok, didnt do a lot this morning this afternoon decided i wanted to do something so went and visited Laura, Ally, Crip & Aiden, we went to the park in Adderbury and messed about , t'was a ok afternoon considering i wasn't planning on doing anything. This evening went to Coventry and picked up car, the AA directions were pretty good so got there quite quickly, The car itself is pretty good, when we got there it wouldnt start but that was because it had a flat battery, we then pushed it down this hill while Martin started it, luckily it started if it didnt then it would be a hard push back up the hill, This evening me Martin Seb and Anton were testing it out, its really good, quick (Twin Cam 1.6 16valve). The car has a few problems with it, mainly because Martin's m8 nicked bits off it (including bonnet release which was a odd thing to take ) anywho betta b off Nite All i now own two car's 1. Ford Fiesta 1.1 2. Ford Fiesta Si 1.6 Alan. "Skill is stronger than strength."

ohhhhh great day so un-ordinary, woke up at 5:20 this morning and got picked up Me Seb Anton Ally & Kylie went far away from here such nice weather today the Beach at Bournemouth was lovely, everyone seemed so friendly when we got there, got there and some woman just said "good morning, luvly weather is'nt it" so first of all we went slightly in the sea and got a bit wet but not very bad i think i got everyone else more wet than me We went for a longgggggg walk when we finished, Seb was in search of breakfast, i think we must of walked about three mile's?! somehow found our way back to the beach after that and found a gr8 place to stay, this time we went fully into the sea, it was freeeeezing! but nice enough, didnt take long to dry we also played frisbee and me and Ally dug hole's, i couldn't really throw frisbee's but i had a go anyway randomly during this the college foned and asked if Anton want's to go to Prague next Wednesday, luks like he's going when we had enough of the beach we went along back to the car There was a place we visited after this which was called Brownsea Island, it was rather pretty and had animals and bird's on it AND FRIGGIN EVIL MASSIVE ANT'S which bite! the sea there was warmer which was odd, we had to get the ferry there and bak which was good. By this time it was getting a bit later so we decided to head back home (by the time we could get out of Bournemouth, kinda confuzzling place) on the way bak everyone was twisting what i was saying and making me sound like a, i dunno really, just making me sound bad so then when we dropped Kylie off me and Ally played a little joke on them which went soo well, i will never forget the look on Anton, Seb & Kylie's face, v funny and we even had the really good touches to it i wont explain, lets just say it was really funny at the time, thanks Ally that worked well Day ended up going really well, thanks to everyone that was involved Alan.

Whoa what a gr8 evening anyway ill start from the beginning this morning was a bit boring, i woke up and had a shower (as ya do) and then got bang's on the door "GET OUT UR BROTHER NEEDS A LIFT FROM DRAYTON" so i had to rush out and drive to Drayton, got there gave him a lift ooooo saw a fewawwi (Ferarri in English).... then when i got home i had to give him anuva lift (difficult people) in the afternoon i worked on the double-decker bus which was fun this time nice people we worked for too, i think the woman was American or Canadian or something and the man was like half Geordie and half Welsh cudnt really tell finshed work at six and got a bonus because the woman gave Gary (my boss, or General manager as he was described as hehe) extra money. Went to Deddington this evening and met Ally Laura Lissy & Anton, we went to Castle ground's it was fun, me and anton were kicking a ball about for a while, then me and ally somehow started a grass fight and grass went everywhere (grass is veryyyyy itchy) it was gr8 fun though i really enjoy the castle grounds with people its gd to hav a laff with Alan.

Heya Everyone, not a busy day at all i did nufin much in the day, day cudda bin sooooooo different but wasn't to be i guess. This evening was fun though, me Anton & Seb went to Kylie's, had to give Anton a lift from Banbury, he was being set-up or something and he didnt like it, at Kylie's went into the pub for a while, it was me Kylie Anton and Kylie's friend Hannah, we were trying to pile card's up, i was pathetic at it but everyone else could do it really well, although i think Hannah was the only one to get them piled up all the way, i used to do it with the beer mat's there but someone's swapped them over to round beer mat's! we also took the dog's for a walk, we were walking thru this field thing which i thought was oil-seed rape so i pushed seb in it to hear him going "oww oww oww" then he punched me and explained they were stinging nettle's WHOOOOOOOPSY stayed at Kylie's til late just chatting and watching some movie on Channel five i think it was.

We managed to speak to most people, although some people kinda spoke in gobbledygook, Sam thanks for the gum ill go bak to the beggining of my day now This morning did a presentation in Anthony's lesson which was pretty good, came out better than i imagined it would most people in the class did them and some were pretty interesting. When that lesson finished went down town to pick some foto's up and got myself and Paul marker pen's At paul's house found his car jacked up with some guy underneath it which was quite odd really. Me & Paul then went and picked Paynee up bcos we were going to go say bye to the yr11's at Warriner. Paul & Paynee are like little kids, so somehow we worked out i was the parent and they were my children...how odd, yeh?! Anyway at Warriner's saw a few people although some people didnt come and say hi! signed a few shirt's got a couple of foto's taken. Gave Jo a lift to her house as she was running late then went bak to Anton's for a while. Paynee really hate's camera's i think was noticed hehe. On the way bak taking paynee home i had to point out the name of the road in King's Sutton to everyone , if ya dont know what i mean go and hav a luk for yourselve's , This evening went to the youth club thing which was fun, everyone was playing on the instrument thing's drum's guitar e.t.c while some people were messing about in the kitchen, if the white goes in BEFORE the black do do you still lose a game of pool?. I did that and lost and i think it's a harsh rule!.that brings me just about up-to-date so nite everyone. Alan. "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

Heya all today at college was pretty bad, Diana was as usual a pretty annoying teacher as i think most people have pointed out, the teacher this afternoon was alright though he let us go a little bit early which was nice of him. I met Ally after college, literally saw her for five min's before her mum arrived, hope all the yr11's have a good last day tomorro, keep smiling guy's. Me and a few people will probably come to see the end of your school year's at 3:30 tomorro i guess ya cud say the 14th May 2004 bring's a end to one adventure but the beginning of a new one for you lot!

Yawn, The lesson this mornin was pretty dull, i think Diana, although she does know her subject well just cant keep calm enough to take our class, we aint a bad class in the slightest but she just need's to keep a little bit more focussed on teaching and less on causing trouble for people. This afternoon i finally wrote a letter complaining about the grove road and hopefully summat will be done about that soon. Whilst writing the letter Colin Martin & Seb came ova we didnt do much really just went and luked at the car trailer, i took a few picture's of car's and Seb put trailer on the Vectra and reversed it round this corner thing so my mum could fill it with plant's.

After that my boss took the bus and parked it pretty much outside his house so his kid's could play on it and i went to Deddington to meet Ally & then Laura, we saw Louise & Jo so spoke to them for a while until we decided to go to Banbury, on the way there went to Hempton so Lou could get summat, me and Ally kinda hid from them while they were there , t'was good, then we went into Banbury and i parked in the car park where it was only Ł1 for parking woo, we had gd fun in Banbury, Tk-Maxx was gr8, me and Ally were trying hat's and sunglasses on, we shud soooooooo be model's for that company. I dunno how many people wil understand but cark park's where the writing has been rubbed off is damn confusing but in the end i got my head round it. then i took Laura & Al Droopy home.

today was longggggggg, woke up this morning, i didnt do much until 2 when Paul foned me to go to Swindon, so we did that, was meant to meet this guy at some paintballing site in Swindon at half four, it said to head to Caversfield?! i think it was, anyway we were meant to go by a industrial estate and it was 50 yards on the left, we found a industrial estate in caversfield but no paintballing site, so we drove round and asked a couple of people for direction's they all said to go to this place called Perton so we did and eventually we found a sign which said "Paintballing", so we followed that which took us to a very muddy field which was interesting to drive on as the car was slipping all over the place, anyway got to "the car park" and walked down this track, on the right was a sign saying "Danger shooting may be in progress" so we just carried on walking anyway, this paintballing site seemed pretty abandoned, we found a tent and a trailer and stuff but no one around , so Paul foned this guy up and he explained we were at the wrong side of Swindon, we then carried on and followed the new directions we found we went wrong again and by sheer luck we went down this turning and found it, we got in there just as the guy was leaving, so we got the Alloy's and off we went, got bak into Banbury, i had about five second's before i had to go out again, anyway went to give Colin & Martin a lift and found there wasn't really enough room with Colin, Martin, Paul & the alloy's & Colin's crutches, after some shuffling around we finally made enough room, we then took Paul back and went to a "Gig" in Banbury, the people there were pretty good, the main act sounded quite good really, three guitar's and drum's mixed with her voice and sometimes a keyboard worked well, me & Martin were dancing to it and on the final song Colin joined in, t'was a gr8 laff, after that Martin came bak to my house til about 11:15 and then i took him home, the end of my day, wallah Alan.

Heya, i betta keep this short, today was meant to be doing presentation in the morning lesson but hardly n e 1 was ready, this afternoon Anton came down and in the evening we went to Visit Kylie, it was fun , we went to little chef bcos Anton took a interest in one of Kylie's friends so we fort we'd go visit her, i think Anton found it embarrasing as Paul kept saying stuff to embarrase them , ohh and Paul was making all the sign's wonky, was funny , then after that went to Youth club 4 a bit (about half a hour) finally got my coat back from there, Nite All Alan.

Newcastle are out of the Uefa Cup stoopid Switzerish (whatever it is) Ref! anyway my day, ohh by the way, yesterday i forgot to mention the teacher keeping me behind for a very stoopid reason and not being too pleased also Top gun being on and thats a gd movie anyways, bak to today.......... my day didnt start out well, almost hit a car this morning by warriner's i was going to pull out and there's a bit where you cant see beyond cos its covered with Weed's so i was pulling out nicely and then anuva car was coming along and nearly hit me (it was my fault for pulling out i guess) but luckily we narrowly missed each other. Got to college and the first lesson was dull, the IT teachers at the college aint the greatest motivator's no disrespect to them, they know there stuff i guess, the rest of the teacher's ive met seem to be really good so i dunno. At lunch Denis got a black and white photo which turned out to be green hehe. The lesson this afternoon was a lot better, the teacher was a lot better and showed the group a lot more respect, generally taught us better and let us leave slightly early after college met Ally like i usually do on Thursday's we didnt do much really, i learnt a note on the Flute (woo go me!) and just generally sat there/tilted seats bak, my seats are really rather comfterble when leaned bak, if i eva need to sleep in them then that will be ok Ally kindly bought me a Stacker thing Dearylea or summat cant rememba wot company.

Salt Sweat sugar on the asphalt - gr8 song (Jimmy Eat World - Salt Swear Sugar) today was so so hmm what can i say really the college part of it was really boringgggggggggggg but after college it was gr8, had the afternoon off and didnt do a lot until 3:30 when i went to meet Ally & Laura, they wanted to go to the petrol station so did that first then went bak to moi house, played a few games in the games room (as the game wud suggest) unfortunatly for the first time ever Ally beat me at pool but congratulation's i guess after that went into the house and played this game with a inflatable ball thing and i think we beat the top score but not 100% sure, and also looked at photo's, some of which were embarrasing but nm, i could mention loads more but blah. Then gave them a lift at the Jubilee so they could watch Ally's Bro play football. Alan.

Yawn Alan tired right here's a little rundown of what i've been up to, Yesterday evening went to Pauls house, it was ok, some of it i really enjoyed and some bits i didnt... but i guess you get that everywhere, all in all nicely dun Paul i was meant to be working this morning but the weather seemed howwible so i tried to get some sleep which i managed pretty well til the fone rang...then it decided to ring every five minuites :@ then after i woke up and had dinner i thought.....im bored i wanna do something, so i did got on the internet and spoke to Steph, who was also bored! so went and visited her and went on to Deddington and picked up Laura, we then decided to go and visit Crippy and Aiden in Adderbury (yeh we went round a few village's) while in Adderbury we walked to the park, on the way bak my dad foned me and asked if we wanted to go bowling with my brother and Ally's brother (Barry) i then drove to Banbury to find that the next avalible lane was a hour and a half wait so fort stuffit, we tried to get into fast eddies but was too packed..bleh! so drove bak and dropped off Steph,Crippy & Aiden and was taking Laura bak to Deddington when my dad foned to say that he had booked a bowling lane for 7 and i could invite a friend. So went and picked up Ally and was taking Laura bak to her house, on the way there saw about five or six Luvely luvely modified car's including Audi TT, Mitsubishi FTO, Citroen Saxo, Pug 306? and other car's, there was another nice one at the front but couldn't tell what it was, i think it was a celica but cudnt be sure. forgot to take the turning to Laura's house so followed them for a while just gawping hehe. Then went bak to Banbury and had a game of bowling, i came third i think not bad, i got a couple of strike's, then after gave Ally a couple of game's of pool (i won both). We then went on the dance thing's (not something i've ever done before and probably wont do it again) obvioustly i lost but i didnt do too badly, thats probably just about my day ova, saw a tractor this evening that i thought was one which was stolen cos it looked identicle to the one where i live but it wasnt luckily.

Heloooooooo, wow sucha busy day, had to wake up early to get tire's changed on the car and get tracking sorted out, the tyre's were on special offer, they were pretty good one's as well, the tracking was sorted out as well (scarily it was about 6mm out! i blame the Grove) that cost me about Ł50 went to Oxford after that, drove Crip, Laura & Ally to the park & Ride bit and tuk the bus from there, Oxford was fun, i enjoyed it, there was a moment where i felt guilty so i was sad, but i cheered up agen after a while, does anyone else do this? walking thru a shop i was speaking to laura behind me (kinda) and asked her a question (can't remember what it was) turned round to find someone who i didnt know looking at me blankly :$, there was some nice food there, this pizza slice thing for 80p was nice there was some "bouncy" moosic being played so me and crippy were walking while bouncing (if that makes sense?!) and gettin odd looks from people . hmm wot else can i mention, on the way bak i have this dance song on CD so we turned volume up and turned Bass up and went thru a village getting odd looks got home and had something to eat, then had to help my dad load van up, with plant's, then pretty much straight after that Seb arrived in the C3 we went on to Fritwell, we were there about a hour before Kylie finished and the pub was crowded so me and Seb decided to go visit Carol & Nat in Bicester for a hour or so that was pretty gd, we had a piggy back race, of course me and Nat won ohh and we went and watched the cars on the motorway hehe, went bak to Fritwell and was watching these guy's who were singing live there, i swear they were from Australia but cant b sure. After Kylie finished went bak to her house, got a nice welcome from the dog's but the cat didnt like me , stayed there and chatted for agesss, t'was a good busy day really. Alan.

Some days your the pidgeon and some days your the statue i've just started listening to a really gd band, they're called Hoobastank, they're really rather goood well what did my day consist of i guess your wondering (or mayb ur not) either way im guna tell ya! college cudda bin better, but still if it helps me buy a Ferarri when im older i dont mind. I minded my own buisness for most of Diana's lesson, Paul hit me with some IT Mag so i found a bigger one by me and hit him bak then i got moved she tried to move me a couple of computers along but i argued slightly, she still moved me, then the computer didnt work ahh well, ohh and Denis was eating some M&M's peanut thing's today, Diana came over and told him to put his nut's away (ok not funny, but...) the next thing i heard was look put them away, you will get sticky hands!, i couldnt help but burst out laffing, anyone who knows my laff will know that was a baddddd idea , speaking about Nuts i got that Mag today i spent my afternoon working on the presentation that im going to attempt to do tomorro in lesson. After college went and met Ally and signed her leavers book (even though im not at school ) t'was good, random story thing's and me confuzzling my words up :$ went to watch my brother play for his league again tonight down at Banbury United, t'was good, although not as good as the other game after that thought i would go and visit Jenny and write in her leavers book and just generally visit. Fixed her computa as well now im just sat here thinking about the presentation and other thing's Alan. "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."

Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday.... well what can i say.... Bleh seems to describe it the lesson this morning was soo bad i almost walked out, til i got taken out the lesson and spoken to "do you want to stay on this course, can you take anything sierioustly" questions like that sorry but i have to add this, i went into that lesson really happy but due to the mix of Diana telling me i was pretty much stupid, and Carol & Nat saying i was annoying i left it really down and depressed couldnt have that much of a gr8 conversation with them two this morning, anyway thats in the past now, didnt do a lot this afternoon, produced a couple of professional looking flyer's for where i work, im pretty proud of them , they're guna b all around soon went and showed my boss about half five then went into Banbury to meet Seb, he cant drive at the moment, his car's kinda knackered (involved in a bump, he wasnt driving though) we then went and met Anton, on the way there we were playing the drum n bass cd i have, seb was embarrased (not really surprising ) we then went to the little Chef where Kylie works, wow they have extaucionate (cant spell, meant to mean expensive) price's Ł1.99 for a coke, jeeeeez we went to Sebs after that and i managed to actually bully Anton for about a split second not much else to say Alan.

Today ws alright i suppose, didnt get up to much, Maths ws boring as usual, after Maths went down to the Whately hotel to see this guy doing a auction, he seemed to sell a load of stuff really cheap , after that had a driving lesson (Pass Plus) which is where i went on the motorway, that was interesting, hard to stick to the speed limit kinda, was going about 85mph at some stage's, oopz it was interesting learning how to drive on motorway though after that went to where my boss store's all his stuff and took back the bouncy castle, we were cleaning up the place kinda and noticed a bouncy castle which he had owned for about a year and a half but never actually opened, it was actually quite gd, smelled slightly but still quite good this evening went to the auction again and it seemed a bit dodgy to me, but the auctioneer was very good at his job, i dunno Alan.

Today ws ok, had its up's and down's i guess, most of the day was lazy, basically i spent it sitting about or driving about, didnt wake up til about 11 which is kinda late for me didnt do anything really til about half five, that was when i went to pick the bouncy castle up that i delivered, the people i picked it up from were really nice, it was the headmistresses family and they were really nice to me, by the time i got there it was all ready, e.g the bouncy castle had been folded up, i was helping the guy take the bouncy castle to my car and kindly his wife opened my car so we could fit the bouncy castle and the rest in, they were bringing stuff to my car so i could put it straight in, basically doing most of my work for me then when he paid me he gave me Ł5 too much so i asked him if he wanted change, he said nope it was alright that went well not much else to say really Alan.

Happy St George's Day! today was excellent, best day in a ages (well from 12:30 onwards) Anthony's lesson this morning only had six people in which was odd, after that i went to town to pick up some photo's, on the way there Carol decided we wud listen to Bewitched going down the high street, so i bet we luked odd to say the least! this afternoon ws great though, weather was good and Steve, Denis, Carol & Nat got a lift with me bak to my house and i showed Steve & Denis around (showed Carol & Nat before) well.... me being the cruel person i am saw a fire extinguisher filled with water lying about and thought it was such a hot day it would be nice to soak someone, so rushed in saying "come and look at this" as soon as someone walked outside i sprayed them, the first person out was Steve, got him kinda wet then he got the fire extinguisher and i got a soaking, hehe thought it luked like a nice enough day so put a bouncy castle up, that was gr8 fun, some bits were slightly "awkward" we all fell on each other and cudnt really help what happened the bouncy castle was up all afternoon, Anton & Paul joined a bit later and added to the fun later on we went in the games room and played a few different game's, i played pool & Table football i think, probably threw a couple of dart's at the board as well, but cant rememba Seb joined us while we were in there, and we started kicking a football about outside, that lasted a while. We then started using hands so went in the garden and just played volleyball instead over a Badmington net This evening me Seb & Anton went to Fritwell & visited Kylie which was good, we wandered down the pub which Kylie's Stepdad? run's, it was nice there, me & Anton played a game of pool, apparently i potted the black, but dont rememba doing it, ahh well, we had fun n e way whoreva won, i was trying to stack the coaster thing's but i wasnt great at it, typically Anton did it first time got a chineese from there as well, sucha good idea mixing a Chineese & a pub together, it was nice food as well actually back at Kylie's chatted for hours about Random stuff, there was three dog's there and they seem to love Anton, they were even protecting him some things were funny, but you would have to be there to understand so i wont explain, left there at about 11:30 so that ends my good day, ohh and thankyou to everyone who said the nice thing's about me, it was a pleasure seeing you all Alan.

Today ws average i guess, drove to college for the first time eva Diana's lesson ws not interesting really, was finishing off binary, Denis forgot his and we went to get it at break, she let most of the class go 15 min's early but sum of us had to wait, then we went to Denis's house, croikey he has to walk far in the morning got back to lesson's a bit late but wasnt really our fault, the other lesson was just confuzzling, stayed in college for a bit to do binary work (well stayed for ages really) then fort "ahh what the heck" and gave Nat a lift home to Bicester, t'was hard finding my way round, croikey thats a confusing place, knowing which rundabout to go over or whatever, on my way bak had a evil learner who wouldnt let me pass, it would go slow where i couldnt overtake, then when i could, i would go by and it would match my speed :@ basicaly it wud do 45 in a 60 then when i go to go by it matches my speed, first time i tried it, had ages to overtake but couldnt do it because the car would speed up, in the end had to pull bak in cos a fat lorry was coming the other way, n e way havent dun a lot this evening, had to do some work for parents so they will pay for new tyre's for the front.

It was nice to be bak though and see all my college m8's, kinda missed college in the way that not seeing the people, how odd This evening me and Seb swapped cars and went for a random drive, ended up in village's like Drayton & Cropredy, t'was good, was sat in Morrison's car park at nine o clock when it was closed hehe Alan.

today was gr8 didnt do a lot this morning apart from driving to Banbury to get my tyre's checked, on the way into town i was following a Aston Martin DB9 sucha luvely car, was sat behind it at one set of traffic lights then was by it at some other light's, damn i want that car! did some work this afternoon, put up a ikkle slide at Grimsbury community centre i think it was called, also got given a bouncy castle to deliver tomorro, that'l be good because i get comission on it, driving's gr8 so gotta deliver that at about 1 tomorro, had a bit of a lazy afternoon, sat at my boss's house eating food and watching tv, picked up small slide late afternoon then started sorting out what i was going to do in the evening, Anton came down to my house and we went down to the cinema in Banbury where we met Seb & Colin, and drove down to Brackley where we met Steve (when we could find his house ). Then down to Sixfields in Northampton, lot of dual-carriageway down to there, got to the massive cinema there and found out the next showing of the movie we were going to see was in about a hours time, we went to Northampton on the right night really, the fair was there, and every ride was 50p (sieriously!) so me Steve & Anton went on this ride that spins ya round, they have it in Banbury but this one lasted about double the time that the one in Banbury does and it was cheaper (how confuzing!) Northampton is a very pituresque place (people who went wil understand i hope), had mcdonalds there to eat, The movie was Really really good!, had most things to make a good movie, best movie i've seen at the cinema this year really, the screen was massive! very gd cinema, a lot better than Banbury. T'was worth going the distance to see it. got out the cinema about ten to eleven (i think) took Steve & Anton home, and got bak to my house at about twelve, and thats my day done (and what a good day it was ) Alan.

Was asked todo a delivery to Steeple Aston this afternoon, thought i would pick Anton up on the way there on the way back we decided we wud go for a drive, went to no where really, on the way to no where my gear knob became very loose so had to find somewhere to fix it, we went into Middleton Cheney but no luck there so went to Anton's Grandad's factory where he had a allen key to fit it then on the way bak from no where we decided we wud go to Stratford cos Seb seemed bored, so we did that, got to Stratford and helped Seb & my boss fold all the inflatable's up, did that and went to get something to drink (non-alcoholic, i was driving rememba ) went to Cox's yard in Stratford which was really nice, nice place, got Anton home for six, i only said we would be about a hour if that, and ended up being about five...oopz! picked my brother up from football training this evening as well, which was also odd. ahh what a greatttttttt day I PASSED!

Last day of college before easter, shud be actually seeing people from college sumtime during the holidays which wil b nice , anyway today was good i guess Started off with Anthony's lesson this morning, a whole SEVEN people there the lesson ws ok i guess, did mini presentation thing's infront of the group. At break i got chased round the college with Nat threatening to throw water over me (which she eventually did with some help from Steve) what i have to add though is that first of all she said she would pour water over me and i kept saying she wouldn't eventually i pushed Denis into her to get her wet, so she chased after me to get revenge (dont know how much that made sense) this afternoon been sorta raking a field been doing whats called chain-arrowing with a tractor, t'was alright realised the tractor has dun 48,000 miles though this evening went with Martin & Bartlett to visit Colin which was gd i guess Alan.

Heya All, The lesson this morning was boring with a few slices of interest in it, like when Diana said to Dan something about giving a example of something, the last thing she said was "Can you give me one?" Dan then said "no, i dont want to" sounded funny at the time but i guess you wudda had to of been there to understand The lesson this afternoon was actually alright, Did some questionaires which have been sent to companies around the country. doing the envelopes was kinda interesting, i leant some things . This evening had my cousin/uncle (cant rememba which) came down and drove him around so he could see how good my driving was, think it went ok, went to Banbury then Deddington and round, quite a good distance thats my day ova Alan.

1+1=0, it actually made sense this morning Worked with Nat and she was quite helpful with that so thankyou. dun most of that assignment had a driving lesson this afternoon, did a really good parralel park (im saying it was good because it was just shockingly good for me to get it correct like i did ) started work on my new project today, got a old trailer that seems to be rotten so im going to knock it down to base level (just the metal and wheel's) and build it up so my car can pull it (trust me its a small trailer) Yes i know my car doesnt have a towbar...YET! hopefully this will go betta than my last "project" which was also a trailer. At about 3 Seb came down to collect Rotavator (thing that flicks mud about to make soil loose) played game of pool n stuff, then went to pick my brother up at the same time Seb was picking his sister up, got to Warriner to find the rotavator had leaked petrol in the boot, luckily we had Compost bag's down so they just leaked on them. Then coming along the grove met Anton on his scooter, he came bak to my house and we decided to invite people along, Jo being the closest came down, on the way there, had two cheeky audi drivers which were annoying (NOTE: Dont mind audi drivers in general, but those two were just...odd) anyway Jo & Anton stayed for a while, was just talking really , Anton gave Jo a lift on his moped thing, lets just say the look on her face was priceless , think i did something this evening cant rememba wot though, ohh Watched the Italian job on DVD (saw it at cinema as well) i really like that movie although i think quite a few people disagree with me, it seems to stick in my mind when i watch this, basically when i saw it at the cinema thruout the movie Paul was going "FITTTTTTTTTT" about Charlize Theron or woteva her name is! thats about it, my brother went to watch England Under 19's this evening at Northampton, sounded like he enjoyed himself. Nite All (p.s i could mention the moment with Steve walking out the other door this morning in lesson but i think someone else will ) Alan.

didnt have college this morning , got to have a lie in didnt have to go in til 1:30, saw some photo's this morning, some of car and some of other things such as the sleepova thing i had scanned them in n stuff, then went to college, met Dan n a few otha people just before lesson, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh i didnt explain, didnt go to lesson this morning cos it was tutorial Point One - We dont have a tutorial and waste of time being there with a different supply teacher each week reading something off a sheet which we can finish within 15-30 mins Point Two - It was meetings today so didnt have to go in anyway anyway bak to the Real world, The lesson this afternoon was pretty dull i may have lost my internet access but dunt think i will have hope's basically i was on Launch Yahoo (Music Video's) and the teacher saw me do it, that was the first time i had actually luked at the page within about a hour, i had just been listening to it, and i got cought, apparently she could tell i was doing something wrong cos i went quiet, hehe think she was joking though (hope so anyway, im not noisy am i?!) Lalala This evening Seb came down, I drove his car along the grove, legally T'was nice to drive, sounds nicer than mine. Went to visit Colin after that, was there chatting for a couple of hours, Anton came there and met us, left at about 8:45, Seb & Anton came bak to my house for a couple of mins, going along the grove was funny but i cant really explain, one of those things where ya wudda have to of been there, there was two lucky bunnies, Seb did really well to avoid them! they had some kinda death wish but came out living . Not much else to say, picked my brother up from football training and thats the end of my day. Alan.

Hmm Paul's competition seems kinda odd but nm I WANNA WIN, RIGHT?! they have to be funny and interesting do they? four people in a plane Tony Blair, David Beckham & a oap and her grandaughter, the plane is crashing, the pilot and staff hav left, there is three parachutes among the four people, Tony Blair jumps out first saying he was the most important blah blah, then Beck's goes next saying he's second most important, then the oap says you go first deerie, ive lived my life, you have so much more to come, the little girl turns round and says "no need grandma, we can both go, David Beckham took my schoolbag" ok mayb i dont stand a chance, yes i know it was a incredibly poor joke but i tried, alright! . Anyway back to reality Today. Finally did some work again, went up to Stratford and put up a assualt course & Big Bouncy castle, weather wasn't great so didnt get many people but i think there was just about enough thought, starting to pay debt off which is good, had a nice chicken tikka wrap today as well, shame they dont do then anywhere i can find in the middle of Banbury. Ohh i forgot to say, my boss bought a double decker bus which he has filled with stuff like ya get in funtasia, its really gr8, really gd, even has a ball pit in it, hehe tonight was meant to be going to the cinema but ur all lazy , if anyone is interested in going tomorro txt me or fone me or summat, or even message or email me Alan.

Heyaa, Lesson this morning ws ok, managed to get a top score on snake was the highlight of it took me ages though, didnt get up to much this afternoon, this evening was alright, gave Anton a lift to the youth club thingy i go to, had to go about a hour early so got dropped the other end of town, when i say dropped i mean i stopped at traffic lights, my dad got out the car so we all did, he got in the drivers, asked me if i needed any money and left, didnt really notice if the lights were Green or red really, mayb it doesnt sound odd on here but at the time it seemed a odd thing to do, going thru town random drunken women and just women were randomly speaking to Anton. Tonight was fun i guess , i have work tomorro so if anyone's near Stratford, come visit me! Alan. "Though it may be the loudest, it is not the whistle that moves the train."

Nuts is a good mag, i reccomend it to anyone who is into that kinda thing, some sick pictures in today, but everything else was gr88888, Elisha Cuthbert was in it Alan.

Heyaz everyone, today was alright strangely, Diana wasnt in this morning so Anthony was covering, lesson was nice and laid back, this afternoon would usually be a afternoon off but strangely i stayed in college did assignment, which was actually quite fun , went into libary and no one can keep quiet in libary, Nat was just funny, not sure what she was going on about , think someone put something in her drink, she seemed slightly i dunno how to describe it really, just giggly , college been phoning me today about going to Prague, the thing is i wouldnt know anyone so im not sure about going. This evening Anton came down to get some moosic, then Seb came down as well, Seb being the lucky guy cud drive, so me & Anton went for a drive with Seb which was alright his car seems ok (Toyota Corolla). Night all Alan. "The further we look back, the further we can see forward."

something Paul just said made me smile Dario G - Sunchyme, reminds me of something i used to do which i enjoyed soo much(Roller Blading), forgotten how much fun i had i guess , anyway bak to reality today, got a lift to college (well Pauls house) then going thru people's park Paul got a text saying maths was cancelled so walked back to Pauls house and his mum kindly gave me a lift home. When i got home i fort hmm i need something to do, as i was thinking this my mum walked in with this Tv saying so this wont be any good for Playstation 2's, i explained it wudnt because it didnt have a Scart, so my brainwave was to put it in the Games room, did that and then realised i needed to find a Arial, as it happens there was a Spare one lying around in the loft (Dont ask) so then i took it out and realised it wasnt high enough, so then i found a pole (oddly lying around as well) and fitted it to the top of the pole and then turned it around to get signal and whatever. Still reading?! then i needed to get the wires into the Games room and managed that, then later on i thought hmm lift it off the floor, so made a Shelf for it , realised it was all going well then when i put the Tv up the picture went funny then realised it was by these lights which have massive magnets in which screwed the picture up badly. Well thats about it for today. Ohh forgot to mention driving lesson was cancelled because car's getting gearbox fixed. Alan. "Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass."

today started very early for me today. Watched "the Crow" which was ok, as Laura put it "sweet" ending , Seb slept on the Trampoline hehe, i think he managed to get sleep as well, but when ya go to sleep at like 7 in the morning ya probably are quite tired , people left at different times, some left early becuase they had work, Anton got quite a bit of sleep so probably wasnt tired for work but Jenny got hardly any so im imagining she was pretty knackered working today, when everyone left i fell straight to sleep and slept until i was woken up for dinner, then after i slept again til 4:15 when Martin came to move his car into a different barn, when i woke up for that i wasnt that tired anymore which was gooooood , didnt have much tidying up to do after this one (for anyone who knows about my last one will understand what i mean) everywhere seemed pretty tidy which was gr8 , erm cant think of anything else to say ill prob go get some more sleep, ahh Lazy dayz Alan.

well today was ok, getting better as it goes on This morning Anthony's lesson was ok(ish) bit dull but with what we're doing i dont think im going to find it interesting. I spent all of my afternoon cleaning the games room for people tonight, took me 5-6 hours to get it ready but it was worth it. fixed the pool table . Had a driving lesson at 6:15 today which went ok, Driving test 4 weeks today, nervious. Well tonight went to youth club, had some kids walk in off the street so played football against them, that was ok i guess. After that (had to leave early though) went home and had a few people come over and sleep the night. Laura Ally Jenny Seb and Anton are Staying and Martin & Bartlett left early, enjoying it , been playing pool and table tennis in the games room and come inside to watch DVD's n TV and stuff, i can imagine im going to be tired in the morning .

only nine mins late this morning, i know it sounds pathetic but its hard to judge what time your going to get there with the Warriner traffic so i was late yesterday by 19 mins and today by 9 so getting better i guess. The lesson this morning was alright i guess cudda bin betta i suppose. Went to lakeside for lunch had a game of pool n stuff, nice up there went bak to lesson to find other people in the room we were meant to be in so we fort we might be in the room we are in on the other day and someone got it mixed up, and the other room was locked so basically waited round town for a bit, then at about 3 went to Colins house to help Seb move colin's car's so he could get a wheelchair down the path we managed that eventually hehe. Then we were walking bak to my house and it poured with rain got soaked, but then it stopped (wow i bet this is sounding interesting), waited with Ally at Warriner's til her mum came. Didnt do much at my house, Seb got to drive my car along the grove which was quite wierd, him being able to legally drive on his own on roads. Well Friday tomorro, should be fun i hope.

Hello everyone , ive had a alright day today. This morning was about 15 mins late for college (ok probably more but i was close ) got into the lesson and quickly sat by the table, then realised i hadnt got chair, so crawled over to get a chair trying not to be noticed, then noticed people look at me, then look at the back of the room, then i got told there was a inspector there, OOPZ!. She thinks i need help with the work we were doing but i dunno mayb i do. Went to visit Colin in hospital in the afternoon as well, He's done some stuff to his leg, i wont explain on here, takes some explaining, lets just say his Right let below the Knee aint in the greatest condition. Went for a meal this evening, t'was nice, nice place and good food (The New Inn, Nr Wroxton) the place was empty pretty much, My dad, Uncle and my Uncles Wife's brother went Horse racing at the Cheltnham festival today so came straight from there, it took them two hours just to get out the car park! so they were late for the meal, didnt matter though, i've worked out its unfair, One of the guys that was with us was American and he was explaining how they get to drive from a young age in America, shame they dont do that in Britain really , he has a massive Chevrolet V8 truck as well i think so that would be pretty nice and powerful .

Its a monday, guess what im going to say! Maths was boring, hehe ahh well, after maths had a Ambassador meeting which was discussing where we're planning to go for a holiday thing , seemed alright, some places suggested sounded quite nice, places like Prague, Barcelona, New York, Florence, the good part was that the college pays for some of it , after the meeting i did some driving, drove to Oxford which was good practice not a lot else to say really.

Just been to cinema, well a while ago now. T'was ok i guess, the movie was predictable, but then again it wasnt really hard to guess what was going to happen with Jenny sat behind saying "ohh he's going to fall over now" and stuff like that , i guess most of ya know, my laff is odd, and during the cinema i laughed quite badly :$ and its kinda embarrasing, but i dunt mind really . Snow today, that was good, built a snow creature thing was going to build one big snowman with my brother, but the head was just as big as the body, so we stuck them together and made a smaller head, kinda luked like a duck! hehe, well i could say about the dentist which i had to go to AGAIN! grrrrrr stoopid injection's ahh well, bye all Alan.

im in sucha gr8 mood, its snowing which is odd but great , Newcastle won 4-1, which was a great match second half Shearer, Robert, Bellamy and Bramble making it a good night in Geordieland, Newcastle were only the second English team to beat Real Mallorca , well anyway rewinding bak to this morning. Got to college after waking up at 7:30 as usual, got there to be told the lesson was cancelled and had really nothing to do for 4 and a half hours!, went down to the Bowling Alley and had a game of pool and had a race thing on some random police game, Steve & Nat had a go on the dance machine there, incredibly funny! Steve on it was gr8 nice1!, was also watching the car park and what people were doing and watching the cars park, seeing which one's would park first. Sue's lesson this afternoon wasnt anything special really, ahh well. Met Ally after college, the grove was absoloutly freezingggg and was walking along it. At my house we then devised a sorta-game thing where we were hitting this big inflatable ball to each other whilst being sat on the floor in quite a small space, might sound easy but wasnt as easy as you would imagine, the ball wasnt allowed to touch the floor and ya couldnt really move very much, we managed FIFTY SIX! "passes" i guess, cant think of a better word. Hav i mentioned im in a really good mood? everything seems to be going right for once , Got nuts today and it said Elisha Cuthbert is going to be in it next week, and as some people would know she is pretty nice! (She's my desktop background at the moment)(she plays Kim in 24 if anyone doesnt know who she is, and if what i just said doesnt help, then wow your missing out ) ooo as well i really Reccomend "Jimmy Eat World - The Middle" sucha a good song, its kinda a "feel good" song as well, i dunno why, croikey lonnnnnnnngggggg post. Hope ya (whoever you are) are still reading, 1-0 to 4-1 up, c'mon Newcastle! Alan. "Hear and you forget; see and you remember; do and you understand."

i had sucha good morning, went to the under 17's driving thing with Seb, got driven round in Modified Volvo, which didnt hav a nice spoiler but sounded soooo nice, two 4" tailpipe's me think's with dump valve and nicely sized engine, also Modified Corsa which also sounded nice and had nice bodykit on it. ALSO VW Passat 2.0Litre Chipped with about 17" alloy's and lowered which was noice, lovely car, cant exactly pick up what was so nice about it but it was really really nice. Decided i like the new mini as well, the interior on them is pretty good, not keen on the speedo being in the middle but apart from that its gr8, also went in Sebs dad's C3, good car but not quite up to the others , ohh i didnt say, Seb was driving me round in all of these, and went round with Colin and Heather (Seb's sister). Its quite scary really, none of them are old enough to hold even a provisional license but are really good driver's. There was whats called "linework" this afternoon, but i didnt get a oppertunity to go in a car because they all needed instructors with them to do with there grading , ahh well. Got to drive back some of the way which was gd Alan. "a stranger's just a friend you havent met."

its dead the green flame died today, v sad time poor flame lasted quite a while i guess, 4-5 months i guess, t'was fun for a while, anyway bak to reality, today was erm ok, Maths this morning, me being stoopid was unprepared for it and only had a pen, luckily borrowed things from Pauls family and borrowed a calculator from the college, the exams went alright i guess, first one was ok second one was quite hard i think. Went back to a lesson with Diana, lesson was a bit mad, me & Paul decided to put feet on chairs and see who could spin round 5 times first, i got to about 3 i think it was to see the teachers face go slightly angry and start walking towards me, then by the time i got round again she kinda rugby tackled the chair to stop it, i cant really explain it but it was quite mad , she then made Paul sit on the floor & when i did the same she told me to sit on the chair , after that she said "do a presentation with Carol on viruses, you have about ten mins to get ready" (she thought she could shock me i think, and thought we wouldnt be able to get one prepared that quickly), straight away i said i would do it, stood up infront of the class and said about viruses, lets just say she looked shocked Alan.

What a good lunch today had two hours for lunch which was nice , went down to the Job fair at the town hall which was alright, some people were under the impression i was 18 or 21 which i dont look anything like i duno, places like the new Gym at Banbury Rugby club seemed ok, but the one i really liked and think i will try to do when i leave College is Vodafone Customer Services in Adderbury which is working in a call centre with computers sorting out people's problems on mobile phone's with a salary starting at Ł12,500 which would be nice. Also got a free keyring which is a bottle opener as well , After that went to Lakeside bowling (which is no where near a lake as far as i can see and played a couple of games of pool, and then Steve and Denis had a game of air hockey which luked a bit mad , Anway thankyou for reading (if anyone does still read my ramblings?, am i talking to myself because that would make me mad wouldnt it ) Alan.

Baz Luhrman - Everybody is Free, good advice in there, something good to listen to. Anyway today Maths this morning, one word - "Bah!" ahh well it'l be over soon, after that, got to drive home which was good. Had a laid-back afternoon going out to kick a football about occasionally in the sun which was nice to see, felt partly summery today which is the nicest feeling i've had in a while, picked my brother up from school, and drove a bit stoopidly on the way back, accelerating as much as i could before i started and everything, ahh well it was Fun . This evening drove about a bit, B&Q Tesco e.t.c, my dad then went and put Ł25 worth of petrol into my car filling it up also filling my debt up, didnt really want that much in the car because it just means i owe more (i owe TOO much as it is).

Today was really good actually, The lesson this morning was a bit of a waste of time, infact it was a waste of time, shudnt of woken up really , still the 1+1=0, gah, anyways afternoon was betta, went from college to driving lesson which was good, did some work on dual carriageways and stuff, Seb was in car while having driving lesson, and was v quiet, after lesson Seb stayed at my house because he couldnt be in the next lesson cos it was the guys first lesson. We watched The Transporter (Gd movie!) and played ping pong and stuff , Then got picked up later during Pauls driving lesson, In the evening went for a meal in the church house, i'd heard bad things about it from people, but personally i thought it was very good, couldnt complain at all really, the starter i had was "potato skins with cheese & bacon" now i expected this to be not very big....it wasn't - Croikey it was more like a couple of jacket potatoes! v gd. I didnt say before but i was there because the college were saying thank's for all the stuff to do with yr11's, wahey free food & drink also bearing in mind i didnt know the people very well it went really well, was only about one time where it was silent , got a lift home in a merc as well , and it managed to get down the road to my house (for people who dont know, that is not a easy thing to do!)

Ordinary day at college really not a lot to say, good to see some people from there agen after a week away, Tutorial today, as usual ended at 12, why dont they just ask us to come in half a hour later?! doesnt make sense to me (for people who dont know lessons are meant to end at 12:30) we arrive at 11 for tutorial and it ends at 12, how pointless is that, if we came at 11:30 then we would finish at the right time , ok perhaps it wudda been betta if i didnt say that.

Finally did something, went to the cinema with Laura Lissy and Jenny, did kinda expect more people to go but ahhhhhhhhhh well. Movie was ok, Jenny decided to turn up about 20 mins late and miss the opening (clever ) not a lot else to say about today, the movie was the highlight of the day Alan.

Today was v boring again! come on people i need to do something! Short Entry long cleva thing Alan. "A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. "Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that really matter. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal." "Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." But then... A student then took the jar which the other students and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar making the jar truely full."

Valentine's day...Pretty much the same as any day for me, didnt do a lot today really. Went to Colin's this afternoon to help him roll his beetle over, got there to see his new car, a Austin 1100, 1969 or 1970 or something, in really good condition, it runs and seems to be quite nice bodywork and interior so good luk with that , me & Martin went down his street with it and it seems alright . Not sure what else to say about today really, convieniently changed excersize bike so that i could sit on computer and use it, ended up biking about 15-20miles on it today which killed my leg's (was pedalling for agesssssssss), Well Happy Valentine's day everyone, i hope ya had a good un' Alan.

gr8est day in a while , had to wake up nice and early again to give people tour's round the college, got into college about nine o clock and got given tickets to give to people to say wot group they're guna be in, also got given a peice of paper with my group numba on, basically we we're meant to give it to people as they came into the door, i went out and gave it to a few people i know, oopzey, so basically went round with people i know, that way it was a lot easier, could talk to people i know better and basically be a better guide. That went well then i walked to pauls house at about 11, he wasnt in so walked down town and got summat to eat. Then after that went back to Pauls and this time he was there , then from there walked and met Crippy & Ally in town, and went bowling , i got i cant remember in one game & 122 in the second , then played pool at the table's there, i lukily won because Ally accidentally potted one of mine. Had some slush puppie thing which i havent had one of in agessssssssssss. Then from there went round town for a bit and then went for driving lesson, to say the driving lesson was "busy" was a understatement, driver's were just dangerous today. Went to turn right and then someone decided to overtake me on the right, almost hit the car, not my fault. Then going through Bodicote went round a "parked" car which suddenly started moving with no warning, again not my fault. Also going thru Bodicote again, there was a car going too fast and had to skid to stop. This evening went bowling agen with the youth group thing. I didnt do very well at that, but the guy that won was pretty good, he got summat like 178. Gave Martin a game on this Arcade thing which was pretty poor cos i couldnt get any speed up. Alan.

That was alright , had to take yr11's round the college this morning, was kinda worried about it before but it turned out alright basically we all got given cards according to the group number i would be taking round (i got the number 3) and people on the way in were giving out cards to the people on the way in, somehow it got messed up and people were'nt handing out there own group number though, me and someone else decided to join groups up because it would be easier, everyone was getting nice small groups so we thought it would be a good idea, when our number's were called out half the people stood up! so had to get everyone outside and other people offered to take some of them just to make groups smaller, Found parts of the college i didnt know existed , then after that i got asked if i would help out with a yr11 class, it was more time off lesson so thought i might as well , it was actually alright, i think it was a taster for either A-Level's or Sociology. I knew nothing about these things obvioustly so anyone asking me questions i had to pass on to someone else. They did a teambuilding excersize which i could help out with which was ok and i did some other stuff, not really worth mentioning though, Had "buisness basic's" this afternoon which was ok but not a lot to say about it really.

elloooooooo, had a...ok day today, had some technician guy for tutorial this morning, was ok i guess. This afternoon Buisness basic's hmm warm room, first time i think ive been in a t-shirt in 2004 , for some reason it felt like summer today, as i was telling steve, but he didnt seem to agree. Mayb thats just me I WANT SUMMER ALRIGHT!. Was agessss getting lift from Paul's (got a lift in the morning because ma brother was going to hospital to get his fingers checked on) on the way by Warriner's noticed Steph & Jenny waiting and fort, betta check to see if they're ok, they were . Done a bit of driving this evening, drove my brother and his m8 to football training (My brother plays for Banbury United under sumething's but was training with Deddington tonight for some reason) while he was at that just went driving round, went and visited Paul to give him & his family some tickets to some race night thing my dad's doing down at Banbury united, if anyone wants to come btw its Ł2.50 per ticket and includes food basically my Dad's trying to get people to gamble down there on some horse thing, i dunno. Anyway after Paul's went to some relative's, on the way back from there was testing things on the car, the car works well , then unfortunatly ran ova a rabbit (well think i did) feel guilty about that. Then picked my brother up and went home. Alan. "You can't expect to get somewhere until you know where you've already been."

Today...didnt really get much done, had to get a new exhaust after yesterday, that cost Ł30, (i dont have Ł30 so now im in debt), played football again today, my brother managed to give me a dead(ish) leg while doing that so it didnt last very long, done quite a lot of driving today but cant remember where i've driven, apparently my drivings quite gd now , went and took my brother to snooker place in banbury tonight, and picked him up, and on the way back went on a really wierd route, kinda like a detour but a massive one where we just drove round, to see how i was doing i think. Today wasnt very interesting really. Alan. "Life is a journey you should fill it to the brimb"

hehe, quite warn out, been playing football and it was tiring! i scored one or two goals i was proud of, also managed to start moving stuff about with another guy called Mark, e.g Seb & Martin would be playing pool and would be expecting me to take the Pool ball's but while they were focussing on me Mark would take a pool ball, managed to do this 4 times sucessfully , also people were doing some cooking things and we kept movin them about and it took them ages to notice , Earlier today went to college for the morning, had a erm "interesting" time, was told to solve a murder on the internet then write a report about it, yeh normal lesson , then drove Paul from Banbury to Warriner so he could get some things from the IT guy from there, then drove him back, while this was happening my car reached its first 1000 miles under my ownership ...then the exhaust fell off now gotta get a new "backbox" for it, ahh well Alan.

Second time lucky, today was hectic (this is a shortened version) drove to college this morning, nine o clock traffic is...interesting , had a strange lesson this morning. They were trying to teach us that 1+1=0 (c'mon how screwed up is that )they also let us take computers apart , that was ok, then on the way out either me or someone else turned a old apple mac on, the teacher told paul to turn it up, i walked up to the computer and switched it off at the wall, lets just say she "wasn't amused", drove home at 12:30, then had driving lesson, really strange going from my car to the instructors car, e.g one has Power steering and on one the clutch is higher and stuff, but i got used to that, went bowling at 5 today that was fun, went with Seb, Emma & Hannah, i didnt do any good on the first game but ok on the second. Walked to college from the Bowling thing in Banbury, ohh yeh cant beleive the bowling is in banbury, its soo decent , yeh anyway college, got to college at 7 (it ended at 8) and was basically sat there for a while, i mentioned that i had no idea about the Art part of the college, so another ambassador showed me round there left at 7:50 and got back at about 8:10, when we got back everywhere seemed to be closed which was wierd. Anyway, Razor (Neil Ruddock) got voted outta Im a celebrity which aint fair! cos he was entertaining. anyway that concludes moi day Alan. "To see the light sometimes you have to risk the dark."
