WTF

September 30, 2009 · 1 Comment

Ok. I’m liberal, open minded and generaly think that kids have it though with all the press that hoddies have gotten them in resent years.
But I have just read an artical on the Register (one of my any favour site) and it made me sick to my core. Its about thinks called shag bands, here is the artical.
How the f*&* does a 12 year old girl now some of these things??
Ok I admin most of what youths get up today confuses the f*(& out of me and I have no idea what they are say have the time, but I vagely remember beign that age. I know I didn’t know about half those things, but my interest in girls was starting.
This should be kick in the ass right now. Childhood is short and resonably come to every to soon to everyone.
Normally I wouldn’t call for a website to shut down as I beleive in Freedom of speach but something needs to be done about this site at lest put a F*&^ing age verifier on the site it as simple peace of code.
The reason that this has sicken me is that in a year or so I could have a child and I know that if they where doing things like this I would personally beat the crap out them for being so F&*^ing stupid as to put themself at risk with stupid things like this.

Bloody Right to bear arms

September 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’ve just an artical on the Register about Walmart running out of bullets, and it made me so mad I had to post this.
If they are that short on ammo, why the hell dont they just come over to Ireland and tell the ira that they want there bullets back.
After all they only funded a terrorist war 20 odd years, they must be entitled to some sort of refund now we are in peace times, and lets face it they got f*&^ all out of that war.

I not bitter or twisted. Ok not that bitter or twisted but when I read stuff like this is me wont what f%&*&£g sence of reality the bloody yanks live in.

BMW Drivers

September 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As everyone know the Majority of BMW drivers are w*&%ers (with the exclusion of Streak) now i used to think that it only applied to car drivers but I was wrong.

Yesterday I was on my way home and this short f*(kwit on BMW 1200 something or other was at the lights infrount of me. We both took and got past the traffic, then I got past said twat, at this point I was only thinking he was a bit of a prick as he had bought the bike matchign BMW canfus protective gear and helmet that matched the bike. Then as I was going past traffice that was stop he was right my ass. I mean his wheel was a cm from my back one. This is a bit off putting as I had reached a point where i decided that I didn’t want to be in the middle going onto a round about he did. So he blows past me.
Being on a sports bike I pass him on the next streight and then he sits between two cars trying to pass them both, to get passed me again and then he switches lane with only inches to spare.

Then this morning another BMW (online using the in good weather) rider blow past me, after blinding me on a streight that realy is very dangerous. This rider had thought I must show I a c%$t and buy all the BMW gear as well.

If you want to ride motor bikes get a desent one and not a f*&^ing BMW.

got to love microsoft marketing approach

September 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Ok so Im a slave to the system, I work as network admin using server 2003 and windows xp. I’m pritty much a Microsoft user at home as well.
All that aside I still dont like the microsoft approach to things, it like being part of the borg from star trek. But at lest Micosoft do come off with some appsolute amazing marketing tacktics. The lastest one I’ve read is about how they are better then Lunix.

Ok so lets look at how microsoft are not better then Lunix.

  • Virus are more common on Microsoft OS across the range.
  • Microsoft have a history of relsising software that is not fit for purper, ME and Vista (full range)
  • No one in the IT industry want to tuch a microsoft of until at least SP1 is on the go
  • crashing.
  • Marketing department forces software out and trys (badly) to make Microsoft look like the dogs ball, and uses bulls*&t facts to get the job done. My personal favour was with vista trying to tell the world that it was good and there was no problem with it.
    Ok Lunix is an open source OS and is constaly being up date but it has two major advantages ITS FREE and it WORKS.

    Wake my up when November ends.

    December 3, 2008 · 2 Comments

    Ok so November has just past.  Probable not one of my grater months this year.  It had some really good hi points, and on the other hand it a few lows.

    As I’m one of these people who doesn’t really see the point in good news first lets start with the LOW.

    I only made it to about 3 training sesions, due to a number of facter mostly life getting in the way.  On one occation I was in england removing the computer from a company that had gone under.  Missed another two training sessions due to have a havey cold and I couldn’t breath while walking let along trying to run.  The rest tie in not so nicely with november.

    What else went wong.  Last week I fell off my beloved motorbike.  OK so it the replacement bike I’m riding while mine get the engine over hall, bit I love that bike as well, it is ssssooooo sweet to ride and is a bit of a huligan when its want to be. 
    Anyway I fell off due to hitting the brakes to hard. I took my eyes off the road for a split second in rush hour traffic and then i look back the brake lights of the 4X4 in front came on, I hit the bracks, the bike start to lock up, I release them to stop a slide. Thought to my self more back and less font I can controle this. But I paniced (classic school boy error) pulled on the front to hard and lost the font end.  On some damage to bike, like the gear leaver, indacators.
      To put it onto perspective i was only doing about 10-15 mph.  Luckly I didn’t put the handle bars into the petrol tank.  I got the bike start and had fot it into first gear, that was a fun rider for about 8 mile with only first gear only getting to about 20 mph.  I walk away with a few bruses but a least I walk away.  And to top all off it was Tuesday night, yet another rugby taining session missed.

    Then on Thursday of last week my Shower started to leak.  I got a call from a very distrought wife as it was leaking into the kitchen.  As her dad was collection her for work (due me having the car because I felt like jumping off my bike on Tuesday) he agreed to come round on thurdays night to look at to.  We tryed to see if there was any way it would be selant around the shower but no joy. We then realize that we would have to lift floor boards but due to Lynsey dad having to work a strang shift patter for BT that week we left that until the weekend. 

    So when he was round we decied to bleed a readitor (due to Lynsey’s distrust of my DIY stills) all went well.  That was until firday morning, there was no hot water.  I though this was odd as we have Pheniox gas, then it came to me Bleeding the rediator depressises the system and we have to put the press back in to keep the flame lit.  Now this is at 6.45 in the morning and I’m due in Befast at 8.30. So Lynsey hears my banging around the house and asks whats wrong, I tell her and then off to my fokes house as they have two shower and are on their way to work. 
    So I get after work I get home are put the pressure back in the Gas system and all is good.

    Saturday Morning rolls round Lynsey goes to work and then her dad appears to help figure out where this blood leak is.  So floor boards are lifted in the bathroom, dry a  bone, where the hell is the blood leak. We notice loose floor board in the landing and decided to take a look at those to see what is going on.  Lift them on theres the blood leak all right and by the looks of plaster board its been leaking for some time.  Still cant find it in the shower, we ask my dad to have a look.  By now it 2pm on Saturday.  The rest of the day is spent sealing the shower and the taps on the shower until we are happy theres no way in hell water is going any where other than down the drain.

    Ok now for the good points of November and compaire to the lows it really wasn’t a bad moth.

    Fist off I turn 29, yes one more year and I’m 30. To be honus getting older doesn’t bother me at all, after all I dont feel any older then when I went to uni, and I think I act the same way.

    Also I Celabrated my first wedding aniversy with Lynsey.  Not at anything has really changed since we moved in togther about 3 years ago.  Except the mail now reads Mr and Mrs instead of Graham and Lynsey. 

    Taking all things into condideration November wasn’t really a bad month. OK apart for the jumping off my motorbike and the shower it was ok.

    Motorbike Madness

    October 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

    Ok in the last 3 weeks I’ve had 3 different motorbikes to ride.
    The first is my long time suffering motorbike, a Kawasika GPX 750R, It a butifull running bike and is a rocketship for a 20 year motorbike. The enginee is sweet, it delivers 106 BHp so easily and had always make sure that I return from my journy. I most admit there have been time when it has nearly been on ebay, but then I remember or I am reminder (mostly by the bike) why I don’t carry out that threat. Yes like any ageing machinical device it has issues, sometime it wont start, sometimes it losses a bit of power, but when it is going. GOD ITS A GOOD BIKE and I wouldn’t swap it for the world.
    AHH I have you all cry! Then way have you had three bikes in 3 weeks??? Then answer is simply. After at leats 3 years of on and off run, and probably many before that, my dad has decided that it is time to rebuild the enginee to fix a crank change thing. I learnt some the maths and theory but every ask me to put it into practice as it a case of: Hand me that spring thingy with metal bit on it and then that thing that looks like a screw drive, what its call again, Oh yeah a screwdriver.

    Onto Bike number 2. My Dad’s pride and joy, a Red, Honda BlackBird, 1100cc sports tourer. Ok its twice as heavy, about a third extra cc and so many hoursey’s that it took my eyes a week to leave the back of skull after the first ride on it. The Blackbird was the first bike to reach 200 MPH (road leagel) and keep on going. Now I’m not stupided enought the try to get it to go that fast, plus theres not enought streight road in Northern Ireland to let get to that speed and stop agian.
    I degress, you can imagine my delight when my dad give the keys to his baby instead of the FZR 750R Yamaha he has. Well I road it for about two weeks. It was like going from a auid TT to a Ferrori, the responce of my dads bike was amazing, all you had to do was twist the throutal slightly and you where you to 60 in second gear and it want to keep going. Even in 6th all you did was twist the throutle and she went and want to keep giving you power, and the noise form the twin exchust. OMFG at about 3000 RPM it was the low bassy rumble, and it never and I mean never screamed at you, it just got slightly higher and growled as you accelerated. It was a noise that only god himself could have approved. If I was a petrol head I think I would have compaired it to sex, but I’m not so alought it was very horny sound it was nowhere near sex.
    As you can gess I love the bike, but it does have down sides, like I was shitting myself incase anyone scratched the bike as the paint is in the fiber of the fairing an not ontop like most paint jobs. It is a really haevy bike when you are trying to get into its centre stand, but those are bout it.

    Onto bike number 3. Back to a Kawasaki GPX but this time its the younger brother of mine, it a 600 R. This bike is in mint condition and for 19 year old it great. I’ve been on it for 1/2 week but it feel really nice, the power deliver is a lot smother then the 750 (hopefull this enginee rebuild will cure that). It handles really well, but that about it for 3 days riding. Like the others it does a downside, its size to start with, after my dads sports tourer felt like I had a small town between my legs, and my 750 not as wide as my dad but still not slim either, the 600 fell like I 125 or 250 in comparison, but is make it more nimble. Also I weighs a lot a less so I am able to through it onto its stand. The other downside is the note form the exchust, it not the dirty sexy noise of the blackbird its more like the noise of its big bother a clear fress sound. BUT I can live with that after all its fast off the line than the STIG in an F40.

    Soggy Socks

    October 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

    Ok so its tipicall Northern Ireland October, wet windy and blood cold. It that time of year when most normal people take a look into the dark morning, watch the ran bounce off the window and work out how long it is giong to take them to run to their car and how wet they are going to get.

    Like I said most Normal people do that, but then I’ve never like normal.  My primary mode of transport this a Motorbike and I love it.  This morning I woke up, look at the window and though “wet gear agin for the bike, at least it not windy”. 

    All was going well until about 25minute into my jurny to work.  The rain bouncing off my visor and I’m think thank god I have my wet gear and rain suit on, I nice and worm and dry.  Or was I, I suddnley fell this coldness on the top of my foot.  Strange place I know but it doesn’t anoy my to much until about 30 second later when I realize that alough my head and body are nice and dry, me feet are starting to get wet.  Not the nicess of the felling for about 10 mile my feet get wetter and wetter and wetter. 

    Eventually when I get into work my feet are sooked and I dont have a change of socks.  The worst of if is I have to go though it all again on the way home and at rugby tonight.

    The mornal of this soggy sock tail is:  If your going to ride a motorbike in October, bring a change of socks.

    Freedom of speach.

    September 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

    What a load of Ballocks. Freedom to suff the net that might not be for long.

    I’ve just read the latest in the BT Phrom trail, which lets face it was a TOTAL ABUSE of there Power. There is part of the arctial that realates to a statment set to The Register that give a list of way that Prom can be made ligel.
    Heres the artical

    We all know why this is. the goverment with the help of there money grapping bastard child BT want to find out what we are looking at, how ofter we look at it and for how long.
    This would be the same government that doesn’t negotiate with terrorist, but give into the IRA. And they expect us to beleive a word they say????

    Lets face it the British goverenmnet has no creidability anymore. Lets look at the last week. Labour party members dont like Gordan Brown, the speek up and ask for a leadership change. Brown hands them there P45s. That was 7 in 48 hours thats good going by anyones startards. Then after that he come to Northern Ireland and demands that Policing by run the Politions in Northern Ireland, which in clude ex member of TERRORIST orginizations, from both sides.
    I mean what the Fuck is this thinking of????
    Then he gets his gray haired lover Alister “I dont have a fucking clue” Darling to put out a statment telling people to get behind him as he thinks Brown can save us, after 10 years of fucking the country, raping the pension system and generally making it harder and harder to survive faniancially??

    Back to the point, the British goverement are going to do sweet FA about this and even now that the EU are involved fuck all will be done.
    Looks like Phrom is coming and three big ISP will be looking for new customer when it does.

    Human Rights my ass

    September 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

    People are going to far in the human rights argument. I have just read and artical on the BBC website that pissed me off.
    Here is the jest. Lawyer has hostages for 5 hours, police try to get into his house, he shots that them, police do there job and shoot back, lawyer dies.
    So he know what would happen if he took hostages.
    No his sister want a high court review to see if the police entering his house is leagl or not under the human rights act.

    My personal feeling on this one is IT WAS FUCKING LEGAL. He had gun, hostages and was depressed. If he had of killed a hostage and the police did nothing then the police would have been critasizes for acting sooner.
    Fuck it the police where doing there job, the last thing any police office want to do to is shoot anyone, after all his job is to prevent things like that but if someone shoots that them then they have the right to defend themselfs.
    I know police offices and it fuck me off when they police come underfire for doing there job.

    Its even tougher for them in NI as they get FUCK from every angle do matter what they do.
    Artical like this really get blood boiling. It enven worse when middle and upper class fuckwits who have never seen the terror of volience, see it for the first time and then try to blame everyone else for it except the person who was at fault.

    If i were the judges in this case it would be a case of FUCK OFF he was a danger to other police in the right case dismissed.

    To everyone who disagress with me, and i know you are out there, I dont give a FUCK what you think. Human rights only works for the bastards who can work the system or commit crime in the first place. It doesn’t work for anyone esle and if you disagree look at africa, all the human rights attrosites that happen to inocent people out there and what happens to the people who commit those acts, FUCK ALL.

    If you disagree dont bother post a reply as I’m only going to ignor you.

    6 Miles of carrage way 32 average speed cammera’s

    July 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

    OK so thats more then anywhere else in Northern Ireland for one streatch of road.  Pluse its on one of the bussies commutter streaches in Northern Ireland, the Bangor to Belfast A2.

    Now let me give you the setup of the cammera’s, its all dual carrage way, so there is two cammera’s for entering the average speed area and two for exiting and about 6 different zones.  All along a 6 mile streatch of road. 

    Ok the road is prone to accidents, so the local cops and two councils thought it would be a good idea to get these up and run to saves life’s and make shit loads of cash in RUSH HOUR.

    All good in theory, but then again so was Comunision.  They realase the first set of figures for this life saving and accident stopping idea.  In 2 months how many people do you think they cought speeding??

     

    1, ONE, UNO, only 1 poor sod got done for speeding in 2 months. 

    Now for the reason that the accidents happen.  Along this streatch of road is quite a famous hotle in Northern Ireland called the Callughen.  The enterance to it is situate on the side of the road that runs from Belfast to Bangor, down hill, about 500 yards from a blind cornner. Any clues to how the accidents happen??

    You guest it Business men going to meating in that hotel, turning accross traffic.  Some moron late for a meeting or work, not paying attention to the road comes round said corrner flying down the hill and BANG.  3 hour delay for work, cars everywhere and cops.  Thats what make this streatch of road so dame dangerous.

    The wordt thing about it is about 200 yard down the road is a set of light they could turn at, or alternitivly there is a bridge that cars can get over and on to the correct side of the 1/4 mile done the road.

    But no Local counciles would rater pay F*&k loads each year to runs this light in an effort to make what about must £360 a year on 6 people speeding??  I mean it hasn’t even stop the accidents, there was one two weeks after they went live.

    Like I keep saying.  MORE COPS ON THE ROAD to sort out dangerous drivers.
