Month: June 2002

Fucking bank fucking charges

I lodged £300 to my credit card a couple of weeks ago. I have my bank set up to do so automatically as soon as I get paid. This means I don’t have to remember to make the payment in the middle of the month 3 weeks after I get paid. So all is well and good there. Except it turns out that my new credit card won’t accept this as part of my monthly payment and that I still in fact have to make the monthly payment which I cheerfully ignored as I do with my other card seen as I have made a payment. But NO, of course not. I’ve just been charged £30 for not making the payment yesterday despite already paying well more than the minimum I had to pay. Fuckers the lot of them.

No-one of any interest signed up. 🙁

Using Booze and Breasts to Get Voters
PRAGUE (Reuters) – Czech voters are having to make some hard election choices — should they support the party offering free alcohol or the one using topless women in its campaign?

With the Christian Democrats handing out free shots of plum brandy in the Moravian town of Valasske Mezirici during a weekend election rally, the Communist party had to quickly change its strategy for a meeting in the same town square.

Coherent Thoughts.

Right now, I don’t really have any. Well, my finger hurts for no apparent reason and that is about it. Yet despite this I want to go and post about something to try and explain what is going on at the moment. Spent most of the night playing Rouge Leader, managed to move forward 4 levels which is good.

And on that note I’m kinda stuck for words. It is an hour later than I had thought it was and that’s kinda fucked up.
Tomorrow could turn out to be a great day if I arrive into work to hear the magic words, Nigeria won. That would make my day, otherwise I’m gonna spend the day fixing bugs, it doesn’t help that I found a lot more yesterday and that I seem to be way more conservative in labelling bugs than my colleagues. I am somewhat looking forward to tomorrow’s call, it will be fairly long but I have a few things to talk about, but that is more than enough about that.

I do wish Play would hurry up and ship my Spider-Man game, I am really looking forward to spending some time playing it. Tomorrow is my bosses birthday and there are drinks after work which I’m looking forward too. There should be a good group of people there and hopefully fun will be had by all, or at the very least by me!

I like nostalgia. In itself I like it and personally I like it. I don’t think I really need to say much else, and I don’t really want to get into it right now so you can have the usual bullshit….blah blah simpler times….blah uncomplicated blah blah no worries blah.

I’m going to go check out friends reunited now as I have been informed there are new people from my school and my year. Ah memories…

This is possibly the coolest video I have ever seen in all my time on the internet.

I am so sad to admit that.

CSI

This is possibly the best episode I’ve seen. I am impressed. I did want to start watching Six Feet Under as I had heard good things about it but after the first few minutes of this ep I was hooked. Six Feet Under does seem good and I’m gonna try and catch it at some stage in the future.

hmm slightly disappointing ending but then what were you to expect?

1) Rouge Leader is pissing me off bigtime.
2) The theme tune to The Sopranos has two affects on me. I alternatively loathe it or I really dig it. Strange huh?
