Lord of the Rings!

I reckon this is pretty much Lord of the Rings without having to watch 3 weeks worth of extended edition nonsense.  I'm so busy I just don't have time!

Haven't watched it in a while but I'm pretty sure that's how it went down.

Chill Out Fail

Fancied a bit of Chill Out music on my ipod speaker thing to start the day.  Dial up good old Bloom.FM and hit the chill out section.  Get this-

The title of "Fuck Buttons" might have warned me

It plays away, liking it.  Gets into some distorty type bass guitar or something which I also like but not very chilling (more like my NIN and alternative metal) then five minutes or so a guy starts screaming Death Metal! Christ on stage, I'm now totally not chilled out and feeling quite anxious about the day ahead, for no other reason than I've just been screamed at.  

I love the song but not first thing in the morning.  

It's gone all tinkely again so I may survive the day.  

Bloom.FM, you're adept at psychological torture, aren't you?  Cheeky one.

Slightly Nervous

The mess above is making me nervous.  It's the battery out of the 787 which has grounded the fleet.  I'm meant to be flying this thing in a couple of months.  A plan B has be instigated (out in the desert where I really don't want to be) but the whole process has gotten on my tit end.

Boeing know how to make planes so I'm sure they will be flying again very soon.  After that, I'm hoping to have photos up of my inane grin with some nice tech in the background.  Preferably not smoldering.

A collective crossing of fingers please, so that it's resolved quickly and I can start in gainful employment again.

Unfunny post I know.  Have 2 funny gifs to balance our Yin and Yang.

I love SF

San Francisco!  Also Sci Fi of course.  This lovely vid combines both in a very sympathetic way (SF always seems to be the target in Star Trek.  Leave it alone!  Try Glasgow, nuke it and it won't make that much of a difference).  Had one of my best holidays ever in SF.  Although a tramp shouted at me.  That wasn't cool.  Otherwise a very nice place to be.

I've always felt sorry for the Empire.  Really well equipped and organised, they really should have  prevailed.  Gives Hippies the idea they can win.  Perhaps they can but I can't abide the wishy washy pseudo science and shite that comes out of their mouths (spend a little time with the clientele in No.78 and you'll see).  Good music, I'll give you that. 

Being a square can be onerous sometimes.  Although I skirt dangerously close to hipsterish behaviour (in my mind), the reality is that I get no where near.  Even with a beard! (Something of an experiment)

The Puma is Dead

Long Live the Puma!

The poor thing sprung a leak and I then obligingly cooked the engine.  What a great little car that was but I was only going to keep it for a few more weeks before I head of on my adventures.  My plans for world domination remain on track.

I could bore you with the story of the recovery guy who made out he was a horse dicked sex god but was in fact a big fat blob.  He meant well but he should have picked up on my nervous laughter and lack of eye contact as a sign to STFU.

So now to lots of walking and cycling and the occasional hire car.  You can see it will only be occasional because this is what they gave for a couple of days-

Eh...

I felt special in a "taste the colours" kind of way driving this thing.

Again with the Zombies

Watched Cockneys versus Zombies last night.  Thought it was alright.  Disappointed they never said the c word in that humorous London way (as in "cut the caant's head off!!").

The plan A was to watch Decay, which is a zombie film set in CERN and the LHC.  I was babysitting at a pal's house and his media player wouldn't take the file.  I'll watch it tonight.  It's available here to download for free (100% legal!).

In the meantime, have a rap video based on zombies.

Blood and Chrome

This one went under the radar a little bit.  A prequel to the Battlestar Galactica series following a young William Adama.  Check out the pilot on Youtube here.

Certainly got more promise than that shit Caprica series.  WTF was that all about?!  Teen angst as far as I could tell.  What a waste of everybody's time.

Hope you enjoy the pilot show, I certainly did!

I love spaceships!

Fixed.....

Things started off well. Even a cup of phone death next to the work area. That was my level of confidence.

Back up phone ready, just in case it goes horribly wrong.  Not sure if I could work physical buttons any more.  Why did we not realise we were living like animals 2 or 3 years ago!

Brute forced the thing apart and had a look around this wonder of the modern world.

Going well so far, whip that bit out at the bottom and replace it.  Couldn't be easier!  Job done in mere minutes.

Slap it back together and here is the result-

My fishes are swimming happily again, no random buzzing and all is good with the world.

But

If we look at the phone signal at the top....there isn't one.

The phone has since been pulled apart and put together a dozen times to fix.

Still not working

Update: Got new parts and it's now working.  What a pain in the tits that whole episode was.  Don't put your phone in tea.  Just don't.

Phones and Tea

They don't mix.  My beloved Samsung S2 was had a brief dalliance with some tea.  Turns out, actually, the whoring thing spent quite a long time in tea as it got trapped in the "protective" case which let it stew for a while.  Green tea takes a while to stew as does an S2.

From that moment on, it randomly buzzes as it thinks it is getting plugged in for charging.  Not for long!  The part is ordered and hopefully by the end of the week the thing will have been expertly teased apart and lovingly restored.

Or it'll be torn asunder clumsily and the thing will be completely fucked.

I'm excited at how it's going to turn out.  Aren't you?!

I promise pictures.

West End Hotness

Doing a top 5 hotness rating for West End joints. (No, I'm not in any way addicted to hotukdeals.com)

Add heat if you agree:

1- Firebird! Food and booze and they know what to pour when I walk in.  Perhaps that isn't a good thing.

2- Dukes! Asahi on tap.  And closer than Firebird

3- Bar Soba! Great Asian food and Kirin on tap (expensive beer in general however)

4- Ichiban!  Lovely sushi and lunch time deals.  Kirin on tap also.

5- Big Slope!  Sunday Roast.  Enough said. Sagres on tap is very nice too.


Saw some twat in a fur coat and a beard on Byres Road tonight just after and spicy meal at Bar Soba.  What an embarrassment.  I'm guessing lack of personality and tiny cock.  I'm pretty sure I'll never see him in my top 5 bars.

If I do, they will lose heat immediately!

Have some more- !!!!!!

And Obi Wan using the Force
