Getting Old!!

In Ten days time I shall suffer once more the annual increase in my bodies, if not my mind's Age! A process which sadly all Beings must go through, usually at the same time every year, unless ofc one is Betty Sax-Gotha-Coburg, known by the alias her family created to hide the fact they were cousins to the German Kaiser during ww1 - Betty Windsor.

Upon the 29th Day of August, 2019 i shall hit the ancient age of 41!!

This is real scary first world problem stuff. The gathering of another year onto the biological calender and specific birthdays that terrify or enthuse others such as 18, 30 or 40 don't usually bother me, but I suspect that upon this fateful day I am finally entering middle age. A shocking turn of events all things Considered.

 I never really expected to see 25 let alone 30 due to my incredible clumsyness and ineptitude at things like walking on a flat, uncluttered path, lacking in obstacles without tripping.

to me, stairs are fiendish arch villains, each step evilly plotting my physical demise in order to win the prize for finally offing me. :(

So for my existence so far, it has been the entirety of the Multiverse and all its great and little works, whether majestic, moronic or evil incarnate  versus the humble Pardoner, Philip Robert Williams, he who is me. And somehow, perhaps due to it suffering technical difficulties, a bug in the Multiverses Software, or its use of a poorly coded operating system, I have been - Victorious, WOOT!! and have thwarted, outtricked, hustled and generally thumbed my nose at all attempts to Terminate me.

I assume that when the time comes for me to ascend from humdrum mortality into the next level of reality within the Multiverse, that the Grim Reaper operating upon this Plane of Existence will be full of awe and respect for my many successful escape attempts. :)

Of course he might be annoyed and toss me through an Oblivion Gate to be pursued by & do battle with Dremora and Daedric Warriors and Daedra God's, which would upon thinking about it be a pretty cool scenario! Long as I can have 3, well 4 weapons to deal with every possible scenario - greatsword for when you really want bits of your enemies flying off at great force, dual swords (2 longswords for being showy) and a dwarven crossbow with Dawn guard volts, enchanted with frost & fire, though I will take a Bow if necessary. All to be built from dragon bone, or at least daedric ingots.

Esp since I am an old hand at the Elder Scrolls universe and having spent months and years playing  Elder Scrolls Oblivion, I know the escape clause - grab the gate seal and run back into Tamriel l, and I know the provinces of Cyrodil, Skyrim and Vvardenfel like the back of my hand! :) 

Wow

Wow. Someone should update this blog!  

2 Year Hiatus!!

Well, finally, after 2 years without a decent PC, most of it without a PC at all, but the last 6 months, struggling on a 13 year old IBM Windows XP Machine which freaked out even at Youtube and Facebook!!
But not I have a second hand but decent enough Dual Core 64bit Windows 7 Desktop, and so the Internet is fully available to me again, this makes me very happy.
Even better, I can now play Games once more! Well, until I can get a modern Graphics Card I am limited mostly to stuff from 7-10 years ago, but Oblivion runs like a dream, I finally persuaded myself to give Neverwinter Nights 2 a go, and found it awesome, despite the many bugs it has!!
So this useless blog may well end up getting updated a bit more often, especially since there is lots of stuff being done by the Scumbag Vermin of the Tory Party and that Twunt Cameron to rant about. Look at the House of Lords debate on the bill to remove Tax Credits – Andrew Lloyd Webber, another scumbag who doesn’t believe in paying his fairly due taxes and thus makes great use of various loopholes, flew back to Britain FIRST CLASS in order to vote to impoverish even more Working Citizens. You Couldn’t make it up! Funny how after decades of defending it tooth and nail, because it has until now been a useful place to reward friends and donors, the Tories are now shrieking about the House of Lords. Well yes, its an undemocratic Institution, but so is the Tory Government at the moment, as due to the lunatic way UK Elections work, the Torys were only voted for by 36% of Voters, but that 36%’s wishes got to form the government, that is not even remotely democratic, so Cameron can stop bleating.

Irish Insanity

Well, this one is an absolute corker of a story. Someone had what they likely feel was a terribly Good Idea. The sort of Idea that wins oneself promotions, pay rises, and a nice pat on the shoulder from the boss, that sort of thing. The National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI) is an organisation of various newspapers found within the nation. He or She perhaps an employee of the NNI itself. Anyway, presumably after a great deal of Blue Sky Thinking whilst sitting bored in the cube farm they excitedly identified a new revenue stream.

A new way of making more money has been devised. So what if the odd Charity has to be leaned on, there be Euros to earn! So, what was this cutting edge idea? What had this Suit and his or her bosses getting all worked up? Well… they have decided that they can charge people for daring to put links to member newspapers online articles on their own websites. You know, like everybody does and has done since teh internets was created. So, if I put a link to a story from the Daily Bollocks, say, then I should pay them a fee. Even though this here blog is… well a blog, just a silly place for publishing silly thoughts and pointing out the lunatic actions and ideas of others, not for profit, not a penny have I made from this

Merry Christmas

2012 is finally ending. Much of the year has not been too bad, but that shit in January coloured much of the following months. Still nearly getting knifed by 8 armed people trying to break into my flat tends to irritate me. The halfwit magistrates only giving them community sentences annoyed me more though. The poor little darlings didn’t get enough hugs as kiddies or something.

2013 is looking to be much better though. This is a good thing

 

Annoying Phrases & Words

There are are words, phrases and sayings that irritate and annoy me. Sometimes I feel very sorry for my poor Goat as the poor little bugger is often getting “got”

Like many dislikes, there is of course, not necessarily a logical, or indeed any reason for a particular target to raise my ire.

“That Film made me cold” – I find this an absolutely infuriating and pointless way to suggest that one didn’t enjoy a film. WTF. No it bloody didn’t make you “cold”. Turn up the heating you Swit.

“Looking for a Genuine Man/Lady” – A phrase often used by people wanting a romantic partner. I spent a long time assuming that most of the “men” who contact these girls on meeting turn out to be a girl called Mary wearing a fake moustache, and the poor guys were turning up on a date to find that “Sexy Sandra” is actually Frank from down the road in a wig and dress.

The intent behind the real meaning of this annoying phrase is in fairness no less daft though. Do people really think a faker/liar will look at those words and think “oh, I better not message him/her then, I shall keep looking till I find someone advertising that they want to be lied to, cheated on and generally mistreated”

“Mom” Now this is a perfectly acceptable spelling and word to say. If your American. It is standard American English. What is annoying the absolute hell out of me, are the morons in the UK now spelling it like that. You live on a nice estate in Leeds sweetie, not Los Angeles.

Umbrellas

It is time that a Personal Licence was made a legal requirement for the owning and usage of an Umbrella. Granting of the Licence would be conditional upon completing mandatory Umbrella Handling and Etiquette lessons, and most importantly of all, upon proving to the Licencing Authority that you are not a complete fuckwit.

Whilst the fuckwittery component of this new legislation will of course mean a severe decline in the numbers of people who will be lawfully entitled to own and carry an umbrella, the benefits to increasing the safety of citizens out shopping will more than compensate. And, in all fairness, if you have failed the fuckwit component, then you deserve to get wet instead of risking the eyes and heads of passing innocent pedestrians, you selfish fuckwit.
