I have been watching Big Brother, even though I haven’t made a blog entry since the start of the series. This mainly being because the housemates trapped in the giant goldfish bowl haven’t done much!
Last night’s episode was a little distressing. Over the past few days the housemates have all been grouping together against Shabaz, a Scottish Gay Muslim, who hasn’t worked for 21 years.
Anyway, as with every series of Big Brother there is teasing, bitching and fights, but the behaviour from the housemates in last nights episode was nothing short of cruelty. They locked him in the garden where they then ridiculed and taunted him from behind closed doors. It is no surprise that a devastated Shabaz left soon afterwards, driven out of the show by thoughtless morons.
Now I admit, Shabaz hasn’t been a saint. In fact he has been a Grade ‘A’ Wanker who had treated most of the housemates like shit, but it was still very unnerving to watch a human being being put through such torment in front of millions of viewers.
I occasionally vote for who I want to win the series or get evicted. After last night they’re all as bad as each other in my eyes and all deserve to lose. I am not funding their prize money by ringing the premium rate hotline to take part in the voting process.
I got my Xbox 360 back yesterday. Not bad really considering I only rung up to report it faulty last Wednesday, that’s a 6 day turnaround. A big thumbs up to Mr. Bill Gates for that one!
My only criticism about the service is that had I not been able to leave the unit somewhere to be collected I would have had to of taken many days off work as the couriers (UPS) were unable to specify a day for collection and delivery.
Secondly Microsoft could only accept my faulty console with the HDD, which we had already established over the telephone in not being faulty. Because of the new HDD, all my game saves are now lost.
I had got very far on GTA: San Andreas and I don’t know if I have the patience to play through the whole thing again to reach the stage where I was before, which is a shame as it’s a brilliant game.
I had a go at Fifa 06 this afternoon too, well it’s The World Cup next month and I haven’t played it since February. I played 3 games and lost all 3. Either everyone else on Xbox Live has been playing it constantly for the past 5 months and become Fifa Masters or I have become shit. It was embarrassing, like watching Leeds against Watford all over again.
Lastly, somebody at work was winding me up all day yesterday about the Play Off result. Most annoyingly they’re not even a football fan. That is the worst kind of wind-up merchant as you can’t even explain why Leeds lost (they won’t understand) or mock them when their team does shit.
“3 nil, 3 nil, 3 nil…” they sung throughout Tuesday afternoon. This morning however I discovered that karma does exist. The “work bully” went to some keep fit class on Tuesday night where they found out, to their horror that they had put on 3 pounds in weight. Cue the inevitable song from me “3 pounds, 3 pounds, 3 pounds…”
I took the day off work today, booked it off ages ago. Very glad I did as I was tired this morning, I blame the terrible journey home, although my trip was surely a lot easier than the one made by all the northern Leeds fans.
Anyway, even though Leeds lost it was a great day out and I have uploaded a photo gallery of the outing.
I’m back from the game. A nightmare journey home, it took over 2 hours just to get out of Cardiff city alone. I pity the poor Leeds fans who must still be travelling up north. What is it with traffic jams? You seem to get stuck for hours for no apparent reason (no road works, accidents, road merges, etc) and then they suddenly clear?
I’m sure you all know the result of the game, don’t really want to talk about it much. Not because I’m upset but because I want to move on and look forward to the future, always look on the bright side of life (or however the song goes).
All I will say is that I thought every player apart from Shaun Derry were piss poor today. If they can’t get themselves up for the biggest game in football there must be something wrong with them. Well done to Dezza though and thank YOU for trying.
Besides the result and journey home it was a fun day out. I met many Leeds fans and we had a laugh, great atmosphere. The Millennium Stadium is a wonderful place and I am so glad I was able to go, its Wembley next season though which should be even better.
Finally for tonight I am going to predict here and now that Leeds United will finish as League Champions next season and go up automatically. Here’s why… Reading, Sheffield United and Watford were brilliant this season. They’re gone. Preston & Palace were very good. From the sounds of things they’re going to lose their managers and possibly some of their best players. The relegated clubs from Premiership don’t worry me, they rarely bounce straight back. That leave one favourite – LEEDS UNITED. We’ll wait and see…
Marching on together
Congratulations Watford
I’ll post photos from the game on here tomorrow
It’s Cup Final Day
Within the next hour I will be leaving, travelling along the M4 from Bath to Cardiff where I will go to The Millennium Stadium for The Coca Cola Championship Play Off Final 2006.
I thought I was nervous last night but this morning my heart is going at ten to the dozen. Maybe I won’t make it. Maybe I’ll have a heart attack while on route and have to listen to Radio 5 Live while lying on an operating table with surgeons battling to save my life!
When I next blog I will either be jubilant or depressed. If Leeds lose and I haven’t blogged for days I am probably dead having jumped off The Severn Bridge. If Leeds win and I haven’t blogged for days I am probably dead haven fallen from The Severn Bridge after wild celebrations. That bridge has it in for me.
MARCHING ON TOGETHER,
WE’RE GONNA SEE YOU WIN,
NA NA NA NA NA NA
WE ARE SO PROUD,
WE SHOUT IT OUT LOUD,
WE LOVE YOU LEEDS – LEEDS – LEEDS
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
