Colour blind CD burner

Completely weird and random technological hiccup discovered today… for some unknown reason, my CD burner has a problem with the psychedelic PNY technologies coloured CD-Rs I have. Well, some of them. In a particularly random occurrence, my burner will only burn to the Yellow and Pink ones, all the other colours (Purple, Blue, Red…) cause big problems!

Very very weird…

Colin “Team Coach” Pillinger

Why on Earth (or should that be Mars?) does Colin Pillinger insist on using Football analogies for every bloody thing he says? It actually gets quite comical after a while…

“We were out to play a two-leg match and both of them were away…We’ve travelled 250 million miles and we’ve got a one-nil result in the first leg…” (source)

“This is not the end of the story; we have many more shots to play…We will play to the final whistle. It only takes a fraction of a second to score a goal.” (source)

“I’m expecting the team to play on to the last whistle” (source)

Apart from looking a bit like the professor out of Back to the Future (“Great Scot! We’ve missed an open goal!”) , he’s got to be loopy!

It’s so juvenile, but…

…I’m sorry, I found this to be very funny. Poo jokes and toilet humour are ALWAYS funny!

It seems like such a good idea…

Perhaps this is the real face of p2p download networks?

Random linkage

I was just looking through my logs, and noticed that someone totally random is linking to me. If you’re that person… thanks (why not introduce yourself…). If you’re someone else linking to me, then why not let me know by emailing me… It was quite a pleasant surprise as the vast majority of hits (read 99%) are people looking for help with the DaVinciCode (which can be at www.matt-thornton.net…)

I’ve also noticed that I’ve only posted gibberish lately, so I’ll try and get to it with some real stuff soon. I’m just so busy at Uni… PhD transfer submission date has been set… not long to go now!

Some people

Grr. I just had a go at someone in the car park of Safeways. And he was one of those people. The type that really piss me off.

This twat had parked his car in the bay that is clearly marked motorcycles. So I had to park my motorcycle elsewhere. As I was preparing to leave, he was just packing his car up.

I went over to him and asked if knew what “Motorcycles only” meant. He sort of stared blankly at me. So I told him that it meant only motorcycles were allowed to park there. He sort of said “Oh right.” whilst carrying on with packing his car. A bit pissed off I told him I was surprised he didn’t just park in the disabled parking spaces. This was funny because this middle aged man looked away and said “Why don’t you” under his breath much like an 8 year old might.

This git was so irritating. I left him asking him to be more considerate next time, he said he would. In a voice that I knew meant he was barely listening to me let alone actually going to do what he said.

People like this really bug the shit out of me because he was nothing. He wasn’t apologetic, nor was he aggressive toward me, either of which would have been preferable. He was a pompous middle aged dickhead who thinks he’s above everyone else. We seem to have this belt of people in the mid-50’s in our society and I fucking hate it. At least the pikeys and dropouts are living in the real world… this fucknut was just oblivious.

Grr.
