Well, it finally happened. I have moved to Manchester… Well, Didsbury to be precise. I now reside in a 5 bedroom house shared with two couples, Ross and Han, and Dani and Tristen… Who I don’t have links for :-P. So yeah, it’s a nice house - I’ve got a pretty big bedroom on the top floor… I’ll get Ross to take some pictures with his fancy new camera at some point.
In other news I’m currently some form of ill, not really sure what so the doctor seemed to think the best thing to do was the steal my blood.. Which made me feel like I was dying. Louise looked after me good n proper though, so all was not as bad as it could have been… Which brings me to the bad thing about moving away, it puts a massive 57 miles between Louise and I, which.. Well it sucks.. Or doesn’t? Well either way it’s bad and I don’t like it! (The absence, not the sucking!)..
I’m actually writing this blog from the new house - we don’t have internet yet (god knows how long it’ll take BT to sort out a phoneline, then we have to wait up to 3 weeks for Be to active us!) but a nearby-ish neighbour was kind enough to share their internet with us via means of a somewhat reliable unsecured wireless network.. Only works in one room too, and not that well… Hopefully if we buy some kind of antenna it’ll be at least stable from the back room and I’ll just have to buy a long piece of network cable
Other things currently annoying me include Quake Wars: Enemy Territory being moved back to August, my Wii making funny noises so I have to take him back, being out of the house for 13 hours a day because I work in Preston and the trains are shit, the cables I’ve had to use to connect my PC’s TV Out to my Amp appears to be of poor quality, and I’m skint ‘cos I don’t get paid ’til Friday and I just had to give Wren Properties ¬£950 last weekend (hopefully it’s Friday, if it’s Monday I’ll be pissed off!… I hope my Boss reads my blog.)
I think I’m all ranted out now, but stay tuned because I’ll update with some pics as soon as Ross gets his arse into gear.. Gonna go watch some media.
Don’t know why I decided I wanted to know this, but I set about finding out some stuff about China’s “Great Red Firewall” and I came across www.greatfirewallofchina.org so ran a test on blog.willboyce.com, only to find out that it is blocked from within China! What, exactly, is on here that the Chinese Government deem unsuitable for their population, 20% of the planet’s population? It’s a bloody stupid practice if you ask me… Still, wouldn’t mind seeing a screenshot of my site getting censored by the Great Red Firewall..

Edit: I was just browsing my W3Counter and it claimed I had 3 visitors from Hong Kong and a further 2 from elsewhere in China. I’ve read some reports of www.greatfirewallofchina.org being somewhat unreliable (read: complete bullshit), however http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html appears to be a lot more reliable, reporting that my website is accessible and that sites such as Wikipedia, are not. Sorry for any confusion the first site may’ve caused!
Some of you may remember Louise’s previous racist quotes featured here… Well; she’s done it again!
Louise says (15:29):
haha It is not bullying when:
• There is no intention to hurt or harm i.e. behaviour is thoughtless or accidental
• There is a one-off fight/argument between pupils of equal stature or strength
• There is a good reason why others cannot be included in a group activity
the last one..
because they’re black
its a good reason
Edit: But in her defence, is it any wonder we’re racist when I’m reading things like this in the news:
Iran’s parliament today approved the death penalty for “persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies”
Apparently I am suffering from both of the above. How not-cool is that! I only went to the Doctor’s because I was feeling a little off-colour and I’ve been labelled as Stressful and Anxious! I don’t even consider myself that stressed! I spend most of my time watching TV and playing Nintendo Wii, how stressful can things really be? What do I really have to be anxious about?
I feel a bit like she’s taken the easy route. “Hmm, could be something complex… or…… Yeah, you have Stress! Next patient!” (Okay, I’m sure it’s not like that - but that’s how it feels… How can you diagnose someone with Stress in less than five minutes I ask)… Anyway, that’s enough ranting for me. Gonna go home now too, drink some cocoa and de-stress.. Maybe I’ll draw myself a nice bath
Oh yeah, on a completely unrelated note if you would click the google sponsored links at the bottom right on your way out, it’d be much appreciated! Cheers
I don’t know how many of you have heard of Heron, so I’ll fill you in. It’s one of those Frozen Food “Supermarkets” that sells everything for <¬£1 and probably has AIDS… Makes Kwik Save look like M&S Food. Am I painting a clear enough mental image here? I hope so! Into said image add me, grabbing some tea bags for the office. In walks someone else, a scruffy git. He walks straight towards me “‘Scuse me mate, where are your Red Bulls?”. I stared, in disbelief. “Excuse me, these clothes are worth more than this fucking shop.. And don’t ‘mate’ me you fucking cheeky twat”… I was actually speechless. He obviously doesn’t know me…. Or much, for that fact.
