Bowl O' Alpen

Apparently Frank McAvennie's been spotted in Arbroath. Someone told him there was a bit of fanny floating about...

Realise this is probably the wrong place to post this, blah blah blah... But I was just having a browse of Ticketmaster and there's been last minute tickets released for tomorrow night's gig...and I just got 2! So go quick! Right now!

Pun intended!?!

Got a job with the Samaritans last week. Tried to phone in sick yesterday but they talked me out of it...

Mine had engine power...boom boom

Aww...I was after a bargain Rolex, but now feeling a bit disappointed.

I went for my 21st and fancied being a bit of a Flash Harry, so went for the Ferrari option. Have to say even though it was expensive, was worth every single penny (and there was quite a few of them). You get there, you 'check in' and you sign something, the jist of which was 'if you die, it's your own fault'. Then you get sorted out with a helmet. I was kinda hoping for a full-on racing suit but alas, no. Then you go out for a few laps in a Seat Leon Cupra R, which isn't exactly a slouch when you're tearing along the back straight at 120mph, just to get a feel for the track and try and get used to when to brake, when to turn etc.. Then the first instructor guy took me round showing me what a good lap looks like (basically just really fucking quick) and then what a bad lap looks like (basically just really fucking scary). I kinda assumed there'd be more training for controlling a 350bhp car but no, they just told me to get in and wait for the next instructor mannie. Turns out he was some ex-racing driver but anyway... You get 5 or 6 laps depending on how fast you are and how good you are. There is like a dual-control brake thing but the guy said he only uses it if things are about to go seriously pear-shaped. Highlight had to be going 160mph in 5th and knowing that you could go 200 if you really wanted to... I'm still smiling just thinking about it. That sounds a bit sad...

WOOP WOOP!!! STATING THE OBVIOUS ALERT!!!

I find it pretty hard to believe that Apple would be able to release and distribute iTunes with a 'Rip Music' function if it was illegal to do that... That's like saying 'Oh Windows has a new thing, press F12 eight times and your computer can see in the dark' and then not letting you it out. OK maybe not the best example but you get the point... p.s. This is not a real trick for Windows. At least I don't think it is...

Hmm...sounds suspiciously like one of those "Well I've got a friend who's in this difficult situation and needs you, who has never met him, to give him some advice on what to do..." things which actually turns out to be thinly veiled attempt at trying to get out yourself of a sticky situation. Like when a guy at work told me about "his mate" who Veet-ed his arse (not just cheeks...) for the smooth look. And then proceeded to tell me the all the disadvantages of this hair growing back ("He couldn't sit down for weeks, it was all stubbly. Oh and it was really itchy"). The mind boggles...

I miss Jolly Ranchers... By that I mean the sweets and not some high-spirited cowboys.

It's some guy called Neil Burgess. He's supposedly an actor but I've not seen him in anything apart from one of ex-Westlifer Brian McFadden's music videos. Don't worry...I cried when I found he wasn't real too. edit: how ace is a thread about the pros and cons of household cleaners!?

Why's he suing them though? Is he garden some kinda secret?
