6 days till Christmas - does it feel like it to anyone else?
We're playing at the Union in Saltash on Thursday in case anyone didn't know - come along and support us (perhaps literally; I intend to get massively drunk in order to compensate for the fact that I can't remember quite a lot of the songs). I think we'll probably start about 8:30-9ish, so get there beforehand for a few 'looseners'.
Also I now have a new PC, which I built myself on Sunday after an all-day drinking session at Billy's. Surprisingly, it even works. It looks strangely like a Mac (especially with the speakers I bought yesterday. It isn't though - I can tell because it didn't cost way, way too much money, and you can play games on it.

Bloody christmas!!! ah! Christmas gig! ah! oh no! I need to stop time for a week to catch up with everyone! Christmas parties, VH1 classic christmas songs, stupid lights in my garden!, children singing, snowmen, cliff Richard! Ah its christmas! Please help me get excited! I am dreading it! Think i may go away and hide some where when christmas doesn't exist! Don't get me wrong I really do love christmas, but not today!
I'll try and make it on Thursday, thats if i'm not stuck to the wall with PVA glue or crushed in a shop in the city centre, in Jail or in some mental institution due to the collapse of my mind and sanity!
You are very clever in order to make a computer. I made a telephone once when i was in year 4. It was made of cardboard boxes. It didn't work! I tried to fix my computer button once with a screw driver as it wouldn't push in! I ended up snapping it off! I stuck it back on with blu tack and no one knew it was me until I broke down and confessed as no one could get the computer on!!!
What am i doing? Right best get off to school for the christmas party! Joy!

Carly, are you one of those people who ring up computer help desks because they've got a disk stuck in the wrong drive and then tried to free it using butter?
Building a computer is not that hard actually. All the bits are pretty much made so you can't put them in wrong. Anyway, if I'm in any doubt I just ask Neo, who seems to know where everything goes even when he's drunk.
Which is a good job, because he's always drunk.

lol, yeah thats me!!!
Well I do try and fix it my self first! A screw driver is very handy! I got a floppy disc stuck once and attempted to free it with a screw driver. Well the disc never worked again and the computer had to go to the computer hospital! Dad went mental as he came in and saw me sticking a screw driver into the computer!
I think i may change my carrer and go into computer fixing! I think i may try and build one one day!

Did I hear someone mention Cliff Bloody Richard?!... shiver.

oh dear pablo you they are not watches more of a geek invention to make something easy hard to do again and there is not working parts...though they look cool but not great in my opinion
On Tuesday 19 December 2006 at 22:41, Rach said:
You only have yourself to blame there Pablo... you did ask.
Is Neo actually getting to you that you have started looking up watches on the net in your free time?!! Seek help immediately!!! Must be the dead rat fumes getting to you...
And.... did Neo just complain about someone creating something 'geeky'... I have no words.

those watches arn't as good as the one i am getting! In fact they scare me!!! Pablo keep your strange watches and dead mice to your self!
Love you really!
Rach, Cliff really does scare me... I'm sure he died in the mountains in the plain crash with abba in 1994! But he still keeps coming back! So I am thinking that he didn't really die!!!

Is Cliff actually still alive or is he dead? I need to know!!

This gig can herald the start of my sensible drinking campain:
I would like to remind all to drink sensibly this religious holiday. Alcohol can affect your health, doing damage in both the wallet and waist line areas. So I have put together this guide to help you drink sensibly.
Calories in Alcohol
Baileys, Irish Cream, Original
2625 Calories per bottle (15.7 of fat)
And you WILL be sick. So therefore the only no calorie option available
£9.99 ASDA various offers available
Bitter, Canned
Calories in a pint of beer: 182kcal
Good however you will look older than your years.
From £2.49 a four pack +
Guinness, Stout
Calories in a pint of Guinness: 170
Guinness really is good for you. lowest beer alcohol count
In my local £2.70, not cheap though
Champagne,
Calories in a bottle of champagne: 570
Champagne is only drunk by idiots, homosexuals and me.
15.99 For 750ml Moet and Chandon at Tesco
Gin, 40% Volume
Calories in a bottle of Gin: 1565
Remember the RDA is 2500 calories for men and 2000 for women. So keep it under two bottles of Gin a day.
Calories in a shot of Gin (25ml): 56
Bombay Sapphire on offer in Sainsbury’s, I can’t remember how much however.
Lager, Stella Artois
Calories in a can (550ml) of lager: 221
Stella’s in cans now, the drudgery of walking back from the pub in all weathers to beat the wife can be avoided.
Weatherspoons Price £2.40 / less than half that for a tinny
Sherry, Sweet
Calories a bottle of sherry: 1020
Valuable information if you ever become homeless and are looking to start up a conversation with fellow Hobos
Wine, White, Medium
Calories in bottle of wine 555. Not bad however the Stella drinks also in Weatherspoons may beat the living crap out of you.
Prices start at 2.99; however this is the stuff the Austrians use to de-ice runways.
Vodka, 40% Volume
Calories in bottle of vodka: 15540
A Coke additive distilled from potatoes for those that Stella can get up to full punchiness
Calories in a shot (25ml) of Vodka: 55
From 1.50 a shot in Pub.

I would like to take a leaf out of Jose Mourinho's book and apologise to Pablo.
Pablo. I have the utmost respect for you, your manager (hi ol), and your players (marky, ol, ewan, tom, martin, chad, nick, bar, me and anyone I have left out).
That's why I mice in my sink them and especially at Goodison Park, where the atmosphere is magnificent.
“Secondly, after the mouse I was clear and said Andy Johnson is a great player and I never used aggressive words, like some managers did against my players in previous seasons, or like some others recently said about him, the mouse and Ronaldo.
“I never used the word 'cheat', or 'rotting'.
“After seeing it again on the video, [mouse] Mr Halsey did wonderful work and both decisions for penalties were correct.
Did the mouse try to avoid a collision with my goalkeeper? It seems now the answer to that is yes, so Everton, his manager and Pablo deserve my apologies.
I tust this matter is now closed. (Remember, 9pm for Les Fantasticos tomorrow - you love it).

I must apologise for being so drunk, i'm not actually sure what happened. At least I made it home! The last thing I remember was licking Mark, sorry mark. If I licked you then i apologise. I don't even like licking beards!
I am having problems with seeing and sitting up, so will sort the photos out later and will e.mail them to people.
Well done everyone. x
