Haven’t updates here for ages, getting a very bad habit!
Life:
Not much going on at all to be honest. Trying to save money, though I do have a little holiday booked in the next few weeks. Works been a bit depressing lately, had two rounds of redundancies cost cutting measures which has killed [...]
I’ve been absent from my blog for quite a while now, mostly down to Twitter where I can moan in short bursts. I therefore thought it might be a good idea to do an update with all the things I have (or haven’t) done since the last update.

I don’t go to the cinema much, mostly because it’s full of annoying kids chatting and getting up to go to the toilet way too often. That’s not to mention the awful image quality and crackly sound. I think the last film I went to see was Casino Royale.
I’ve been a bit of a Harry Potter fan since book 4 was released. I was interested in what all the fuss was about and got the first four books from the library and thoroughly enjoyed them.

The fourth (like the book) was my favourite. I was a little concerned when I went to see the fifth that too much would be cut from the original book which was huge, especially considering the fact that Order of Phoenix has one of the shortest running times at 2hrs 18mins.
I booked my day off work and went to see the first showing at the local cinema on Thursday 12th July at 11am.

This year however it looks like the Big Brother producers have run in to trouble finding enough celebrity hungry morons to fill [...]
So on month 13 of my old Xbox 360s life it suddenly decided to stop working, any game would instantly lock up the machine and I’d get graphical disruption all over the screen. After a couple of calls to Xbox support they sent me a box and I sent it back for repair costing me £90. [...]
