had a pretty chilled weekend, despite doing a whole load of travelling on public transport…. You don’t hear me say that very often.

The weekend started with me going to the local Waterstone’s to attend the book signing by Barry Nugent of his second book Fallen Heroes, and what a book it is people. Make sure you put that book on your Christmas Stocking list, I even got to talk to the great man himself.

Virgin Money are having a bit of a mare at the moment. I have a prepaid credit card with them. Why have a prepaid credit card?, well it’s a security thing for buying things on the net, as the card can only spend what’s on there, so if you are buying stuff off the next you just put exact the money on the card and just spend what’s on there, but here’s the problem with my card. You know the three digit security number on the back of your card… well despite putting the right number in from the back of my card, they are not being accepted, as in these three numbers are not being linked to the correct card, so as yet I haven’t bought anything online.

Last night after getting home I plugged into Victoria to watch a couple of shows whilst I unwound after a not unusual poor train journey home.

One of my favourite channels is The Crime Investigation channel and currently I have to a show called Masterminds and a show called Crime Stories on series record, so I watched Mastermind, which was about some dude who took Vegas for $15M from slot machines but inserting a micro chip into the machine and forcing it to drop a jackpot combination, all very interesting, but after that I watched Crime Stories and it has got to be one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in ages.

As peeps may have noticed, if you read my full website, I’m DJing on Saturday night at the FLIRT After Party but hey I may have a date lined up before the event, but not sure if it will happen as I had to cuss her last night.

I sent a message at the weekend to a lass on PoF, the people I did the recently Beach Party for…she had put her profile in the My Likes section, the word “Movies”, but she’d written the word about 30 times, so I broke the ice by sending a message saying, “I assume you like movies then”… she came back with she liked RnB too…

It’s sure been a hot one over the last few days, and that’s been good.

Friday night was ok, as I actually made it to the gym. Once I get back into the gym thing, the plan is to hit the gym Tues, Weds, Friday nights… then first thing Sunday and then I’ve pencilled in every third Saturday, but as yet, I’m just about making two a week… Sunday and one other day. This week it will be Tues, hopefully Friday and… I went yesterday morning, which was very very nice as I was the only one in the pool house.

Hey world how’s it going out there? My world is all very odd right now. I’ve been talking a lass on Facebook for quite a while now… for the purpose of the website we’ll call her American Twang… AT for short. Well the other night we touched base on Yahoo and she informs me that she likes me…as SHE LIKES ME…which I have to say is a bit of a shock, as I really didn’t think we’d communicated enough or in any depth for her to gauge what I’m really like. Also there is the whole thing that I have never looked at her beyond just being online mates and a contact…. She lives in Vegas by the way

What a weekend people, one hell of an emotional rollercoaster, from having one of the best days of my life on Saturday, what a cracking high… excuse the pun there…. Saturday couldn’t have been better.

Roll on Sunday, still feeling good, saw The Hulk and that was made better by the appearance of Tony Stark (Iron Man’s secret Identity) in the film, the high continued with The British Grand Prix, followed by one great tennis match between Fed and Nad…

Man oh man I’m still in shock…. Was in The Big Smoke that is London on Tuesday afternoon to have a meeting with a wine bar/club owner about holding some functions, After the meeting I hooked up with my friend, C.K. as she had a date with some bloke she met online and had some time to kill, so we went into a drinking establishment called Jewel, which is right by the Dunkin Donut place in Piccadilly….. we got our seats and I went to the bar to get the first round in, a woman arrived at the bar just as I did, so I let her order first…. She ordered….. 2 Vanilla Vodkas and a single bottle of slimline tonic split between the two vodkas….. total cost... £17.30…………………………………atm ……………………….. yes you read that correctly…. £17.30….the thing that got me was the woman didn’t even flinch, gave the barman a £20 and picked up her drinks and left him the change.

Some people do my head in, they will find anything to moan about. I can understand if you’re a cantankerous old git, who feels hard done by because it’s winter and the government has screwed you over by raises winter fuel prices and dropped your winter allowance, but when you some bird whose in her mid 20’s….. please sister get a dang life… Was out and about on Friday night, and the tap with a few people, and over heard some bird complaining about Americans, saying how rude the customs officers were, and they should be grateful that we’re going to their country to spend out money, and then she said the classic line, that is almost as amusing as when someone says… “I’m not being racist but…..” her line was… “Come on do I really look like a terrorist… “and there in lies the ignorance of some people in our society….

The other morning on the train I was talking Dr Kate, whose a female who I’ve got to know over the last two years travelling on the same train each morning and often in the evenings chatting whilst waiting for a delayed train or something. She’s not been about for about two months as her hubby has had some heart issues and as I found out the other day, she’s had major back issues.

Anyway, as we were chatting some bloke sat with us as he also knew the Doc. Now he was very well tanned, he’d obviously could the sun over the last few days, now alluding to his tan, the Doc said we both looked very well, to which he replied pointing at me… bearing in mind I’d never seen this guy before in my life…”Yeah but his got a good excuse…….” ………… atm……… yep “A Tumbleweed Moment” ensued between the Doc and I…. the silence was broken by Doc asking what he meant by that…… I made my excuses and headed back to my seat….. The guy’s a muppet.

It's been a while, had a few issues with the old PC and then they firewalled anything remotely linked with gaming, so no IGN, no Gamespot everything, just becaise some muppet kept gaming during work hours... fool... spoilt it for everyone.... but I'm back so you'll be hearing more from me this week, having completed Army of Two, so review to come, have got GT5 Pro, Timeshift and Dark Sector, so I'll post initial reviews on those three games too.....

The weekend started ok as it happens, as we had a bit of a bowling team night out and it wasn't a "Busman's Holiday", we actually went and did Indoor Golf and it was fun. I'd actually gone here for my birthday last year, I actually played better than birthday, only because there were less air shots, but I still came in bringing up the rear, with Digits winning and The Mag coming in second. I def need to get more practise as my man Matt Hal is not doubt gonna want to go golf when we hook up in Florida in October this year.

Tesco, Tesco, Tesco..... every little hurts..... this morning I went to the nation’s favourite supermarket to buy some Mach3 replacement blades..... there were no 4 blade packs, even though there were three lines for them... but the 8 pack was plentiful.... then I saw the price and realised why there were so many packs left.... £9.15.......(ATM)..... yes £9.15.... man oh man that hurt....I was so depressed I had to comfort eat with a pack of 5 Jam Do-nuts....I'll have to see if Aldi's sell them after all as they say... Spend a Little, Live a Lot....

I had to blog today just to say a moment of you time to pay your respects to the legend that was Jeremy Beadle the man was legend. I grew up with Jeremy Beadle being one of the main stay people on TV and he brought so much joy in the homes of the nation, man he'll be missed.
Kat actually turned up last night... eventually, I'd forgotten what she looked like it's been so long since we last saw each other, but we got on really well, it's a shame she decided to get her own place, but I guess it frees me up for relocating as I don't need to worry about leaving her in the lurch, but we've promised to keep in touch so no doubt she'll get a mention in the blog again.

Man I was so tired on Friday night, I got home, knocked up some Gnocchi with Stilton, sat down to eat, and within minutes of finishing eating I'd drifted off next thing I knew it was like 10pm, upon waking I plugged into Fifa08 and did some online action, was pretty good, I played it in Pro Mode, so you only control one player for the whole match, played 3, lost 2 one 1... it was kinda cool in a strange way, in so much as first game went to penalties... bearing in mind on my side was 8 other people I don't know from all over the world.... goes to penalties, I'm playing with Fabergas, I'm the fifth penalty... and I did a David Batty and the keeper saved it.. I lost us the game, I was gutted, can now imagine how the real football stars feel when they lose to a penalty shoot out… but in the third game, I scored one and made one so that made up for the bad first game. We won 3 -1 in the end.

It's kinda been a bit cool over the last couple of days, it's just little things that have gone in my favour, but alas my six lottery numbers didn't come up last night, oh to have been the sole winner of the £11.2M jackpot... I've been watching a show at the weekends called the The Worlds Richest People or something like that, and it's so true what many of these rich people say, "People who say money doesn't matter and kidding themselves, because with enough money you can be who you want to be and do what you want to do," and man that is so true... if you want to fashion designer, if you got the money then you buy shares in a fashion house, you want to a singer and you got the money you can build a studio in your house.. it would have been nice.... but no...the only good fortune I got was little things like... wanting to see I Am Legend, but after finding out it was on at 1900 in Birmingham, I thought that boat had sailed, but found out it's on next week locally to home at a time I can make because I don't need to worry about the last train.. which meant I can could go and see Alien vs Predator Requiem Review is here so have a read.

IT SEEMS DUE, TO THE POWER OF THE PS3, CAR DAMAGE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN GRAN TURISMO 5 WITHOUT AN ADVERSE EFFECT TO THE GAMES LOOK OR GAMEPLAY, WHICH WILL BE A FIRST IN THE GT FRANCHISE.

LAST NIGHT BARNET THUMPED THE PRIMA DONNA'S OF CHELSEA 0 - 4 IN THE QUARTER-FINALS OF THE FA CUP... BARNET NOW HOST LIVERPOOL AT UNDERHILL IN THE SEMI-FINAL... BARNET MANAGER TC SAID, "IT WAS A TENSE FIRST 30 MINUTES, BUT ONCE THE FIRST GOAL WENT IN, I FELT WE HAD THE MEASURE OF THEM...."

A pretty chilled weekend in Camstar's World, though I did get some mixed news... all you regular readers may remember back in late September I mentioned I was gonna be getting a two - three day a week flatmate called Kat, as she was starting a new job and needed a base to work outta.... but then she had an op in October and was laid up will January... yes one of the women ops... So she'd only actually stayed in my house twice in all the time... well I was in communication with her over the weekend and alas she now won't be moving in as she's found a place in Irthlingborough, which, if you didn't know is probably the smallest town in England.

Bowling on Thursday.... oh dear.... some would say, we got bit*h slapped, pistol whipped, battered, white washed, but essentially we, and that's the Royal we. got our butts handed to us on a chipped plate... not even bone china mate, we got thumped.... final score was 8 - 0... going into to the last game we were 99 pins down... and we lost the last game so we were even more pins down....thing is we put in reasonable scores considering we hadn't bowled for 5 weeks... 132, 128, 127, 96, 136 and 116... but yep we lost....... badly.....It reminds me of that football commentary where the commentator reeled off a whole list of British figure heads and ended it with... "Your boys took a hell of a beating"....

Just a note to say hello Today is the first day I bowl at the Stirchley Lanes, and I
ain't bowled in four weeks at least, so I'm not holding about much luck for a good score today at... as they say in Outlaw Golf... "Things ain't looking Rosie"....
It's been a mixed bag of emotions the last few days from the joy of watching Trevor win the SoccerAm Dance Off, have to say though he wasn't the best dancer, he gave it a good shot and got my vote for effort alone.... the boy did good, and not forgetting seeing Phil The Power Taylor ping the ball through the hole in Hollywood..... the man's a legend....
