Finale

Thursday, October 30th, 2003

I should be happy, as tomorrow is the last day of that job it has been a long 20 weeks.
But something is stopping me, I think I know what.

Anthem

Wednesday, October 29th, 2003

There is this guy in Edinburgh, who is calling for a new national anthem for Scotland he has said that the present anthems were an “embarrassment” to Scots. He also said “they are no longer appropriate to 21st century Scotland” So what’s next, do you want to replace the castle with shops? Another quote “ungrammatical, backward-looking and vindictive” about Flower of Scotland. What about The English anthem, 6th verse that’s pretty vindictive as well don’t you think?

This idea is ridiculous, why replace something with character lets have a pop song as out anthem, yeah right that would be an embarrassment. It doses not matter if it is changes, people will still sing Flower Of Scotland. You know who you are you are an idiot!!! News article here

Darker

Tuesday, October 28th, 2003

Well the nights are starting to draw in now, getting darker earlier and earlier, although I don’t mind the winter I hate the lack of daylight. On my way to work today I saw more fire engines belting down Princes St, Looks like there was something happening in the shop next to boots chemist (forget its name). Been a few fires in Edinburgh recently but suppose it could be worse.

My mums computer has had a problem recently, was taking about 3 min to shut down initially I thought it could be a corrupt profile, but was not. changed the group policy / maximum retries to unload profile. this seems to have worked, but I am still not happy with it have to look more when I get time

Bus

Monday, October 27th, 2003

The buses in Edinburgh still piss me off, a sure way to be late, never get there on time. They want people to give up there cars for this unreliable way to travel!! not gonna happen. Even if the bus arrives on time, it will stop somewhere for no apparent reason just sit there for five mins or so making you late. ughhhh

Hmmm, wonder whats happening outside, Fire Engines, Police and an Ambulance. Might be nosey and have a wee look.

To be Scottish you have to be a good loser, lets face it our football team could be better (hey I got to as many games as I can, that’s most home games, maybe more) and well our rugby team now sucks too. I think today proved that France 51 - Scotland 9. I remember the day we had good teams. Where did all the good Scottish sports people go? But as long as there is a good atmosphere and beer to be drunk a good time will be had thats the main thing, is it?.

Did anybody else notice when the Scottish anthem was played today, everybody in the team had a twitch as soon as the camera went to them it was like the had a nervous reaction

Monday, October 20th, 2003

That’s Max Payne 2 out, I want to get this game. But it looks like my PC may not have the power to run it, is a game worth a hardware upgrade? The First Max Payne game was great, only took me six days to finish it and that is without cheating, and I am not very good at games

Apart From That I am bored! really bored! with everything. I need to make a few changes do something different, but hey How long have I been saying that for? :roll:
