R.I.P Bernard

April 11, 2010 By: Govvy Category: People, Personal No Comments →

I had a neighbour across the road who I have never met as long as I know, he died on Saturday, but his death solves a mystery I have been wondering about for a while.

Why does my stereo turn itself on, all on it’s own?

Well it seems that Bernard had lots of radio control devices that turned on all his lights, TV and radio! It seems that maybe one of his devices had been transmitting across the road and turning on the stereo. Now there is a logical answer other than thinking it was a ghost trying to contact me!

My mind is having one of those days.

I feel in the zone, or am I? What do you call the zone when you are in it? Or what is the zone when you are out of it?

There are many faces for who am I, but there is only one face, sadly my mind is going round in circles, I look at the browser, flicking through each tab in my window between the different pages and not really doing much. I have ordered a new game, Microsoft’s Age of Empire III. Hopefully that will keep me occupied for a while. Alas, waiting for something can be longing and seem like a long time. One has to keep ones self occupied.

Right now I have a song playing in YouTube by John Clarke, he is pretty good at his guitar playing. A new type of talent that I don’t see that much.

As for me, I should probably get some sleep!

My Clio (gulp)

July 01, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Personal No Comments →

It all started yesterday in the heat, first the electronic fault light came on in the car. The car started up and as soon as I applied the pedal it cut out. I was hoping it would go but after a few tries I finally got the thing going.

The next I knew the engine warning light had come on, driving all the way home from work hoping nothing would happen. Well nothing did happen, the car felt mainly okay, mind you it did feel a struggle in the higher speeds, 60 to 70 miles an hour.

So I thought I would wait till morning to try again, the engine warning light came on, so I decided to take the car to the garage, but on the way it went out.

So I get to the garage and leave it there waiting to find out what is wrong with my car and how much it would cost. When I finally get the phone call back…, a micro-fracture! Apparently there is this micro-fracture in the wiring that could either cut out in one week of six months. This problem can be fixed in three hours of work and cost well over £700.

Instead of having some unknown garage perform the op, I thought the Renault garage would do it better, I’ve had botch jobs done before and lost a lot of money, so now I paying that lot more hoping it won’t be botched up!

Costs are high these days, but at least I got a job to cover the costs, even with so much money or so little, it is always frustrating to me no matter how much costs are.

Uwe Boll is the worse film director ever.

October 12, 2008 By: Govvy Category: Films, Personal No Comments →

I just watched Alone in the Dark which was aired on the Sci-Fi channel and couldn’t beleive the mess it was in. It started off with a bit of a background story then just went all guns blazzing into no-where. After the onset I failed to understand where the film was going and what the hell they wanted to do with it.

Which brings me to Uwe Boll, if he can make such a mess and then on the wiki page for him, I noticed a petition for his retirement. clearly he is the cause of the problem for so many gamers and viewing fans.

He has to retire so can those people who haven’t already signed please do so. So we can get him away from a job he is clearly useless at.

Please sign the – petitiononline.com – Stop Dr. Uwe Boll

Ash at the Koko

July 04, 2007 By: Govvy Category: Personal No Comments →

Ash have released their new album this week called Twilight of the Innocents and were at Camden Palace to play some of their songs. Thanks to my brother, he got some tickets and so with a few other friends we went down to listen and go wild. I liked their new music, but it didn’t have the same feel as the old songs. Although they mixed up with playing old and new. You could tell that people were not yet use to the new stuff, simply because they danced a lot less.

I really did enjoy myself and watching my brother and friends go mad was great fun! But every time I looked up into the tears of the place I couldn’t help but see a load of people that looked bored to me. Or maybe the type of people up the top are the ones that prefer to goto the Albert Hall for the classical music! Even still, I had a great night out and I will probably buy the new album.
