Hey Guy's,
After a very boring law lecture I have dropped by to talk to you, its been a tiring week though I have got next to nothing sorted. After a long and annoying time I finally have a washing machine again so YEY on that front atleast.
I have been trying to keep up on the Libyan story as I think this will be one to watch, with the development so far and the civil unrest I am worried with the americans getting involved. President Obama has said that they are speaking to many Libyan groups to try and stop the unrest and topple this horrible dictatorship, does this sound familiar to anyone?. I have no doubt the Americans have some good intentions but is this going to end up in another siutaion where they end up trying to put a drone government in charge and then supply them weapons?. The Russians have gone with the easier stand of just stating that the violence must stop which of course is a bit of a DUR moment, though you have got to think if the Russians got involved in anything would many country's stop them? I doubt it.
Well that's my thought of the day, remember if you dont share your opinion do you really have one?.

Well more bullshit appears
Hey Guys,
Well I have been slow in posting once again, though now as part of my personal effectiveness I have to write a blog. Interesting not like I wasn't doing that before but o well now I really do need to do it, well work is offering me more hours however it would mean I would be working 6am - 10am then a few hours off before being back in for 6pm - 10pm and I have to decide whether to take it. Hard choice as it would mean I would pretty much be a shut it for the next year or so untill I have finished this course at least, what a pain it all is but having money to save would be nice and I wouldn't be spending my money on going out and getting drunk.....though I like going out and getting drunk.
Either way on to more news which I actually wrote a article on a while about for Rogue Tomato magazine, its about the false stuff they put on labels so that they can increase prices. Such as saying certain meets come from UK and that it is "organic", well looks like they have been caught out again with 18% of claims of local produce being fake. Another 14% being unverifiable which in my mind says that at least a large proportion of that number if not all is lies of local produce as well. Please someone explain why these companies are allowed to get away with this crap when obviously they are using the excuse of "local produce" to charge higher prices when they are totally full of crap.
Really just gets me angry.
Thats just my thought of the day

Memory's like a knife in your mind!!
Hey Guy's,
I have been having some laptop issues so I have been a little behind on everything this week including posting, my laptop got to the stage where it was refusing to do pretty much anything so I have to completely clear it and start again.
Or so I thought....
Acer laptops have a system installed where if you just press delete while it loads up you can go to a menu, in this menu you have the ability to completely clear the windows and start it again without effecting your other files. You have got to love advances in programming when they write software which understands windows slowly falls apart over time, I don't blame windows for this as it has always been the same. Now it does remind me of the old days where you had to carry a whole pc and monitor over to your friends to play some games, when your computer got bad you had to grab a 98 floppy disk and a 98 install disk and say good bye to the next 6 hours of your life installing. Then of course after all those hours of arguing with a computer that cannot argue back you had to start looking for drivers, so in essence a computer clear could take anything up to a day just to do a reinstall.
These days it took a hour for a complete reinstall with all drivers in place and changing the system to my desktop preferences.
Does anyone miss the old days?
That's just my thought of the day, give your opinion on here or on FB. Remember if you don't share your opinion do you really have one?.
