My brother Matty (Rigers) picked up the television that he bought from eBay today!
I was at dads dog sitting (don’t ask :P) and Matty came home from work (at around 5:10pm) and said ‘we’ll go pick the TV up at about 7ish, leaving at about 6:50′. After a while Darren then arrived so he could look after the dog while we were out - incase he starts biting his leg again (which is starting to heal quite nice now!).
So, Matty and I got into the car, setup the satnav for the ladies address and setup. 15 minutes later (yes, we needed satnav for a 15 minute journey as the road was in a maze of little roads, one of those new sets of houses, pathetic roads - from google earth it looks like a bowl of freaking spaghetti or something!) we got there, although we were unsure if it was the right house (but it was!).
The ladies son helped Matty get it in the car, with a tug here, and a push there - we managed to get the bloody thing into the back seat of Matty’s car, that bloody thing was heavy! We then came up against another problem - the stand was not yet in the car, and there was no more room left, and Matty had his sub in the back so it is not like it could have gone in there. Then I had the idea of opening the window, and having it on my lap half hanging out of the window - IT WORKED! We got it in there.
So we drive back, got the stand out of the car so I could get out - then put that in the house. Then we got Darren to help us attempt to get it out of the car - which proved rather harder than getting it IN the car. Somehow, I managed to grab hold enough of it, so me and Darren were holding up this monster of a freaking TV, although we were looking at each other as if to say “omg, who is holding it? I dunno, neither of us I know”. So with that, me and Matty walked it to the back gate, at which point my fingers were feeling as though they were about to fall off (bloody sharp plastic underneath!) and Matty said that he felt like his back was giving in. So, we put it on the floor (on my foot). Darren then took over from Matty, and we got it to the back door - at this point Matty realised that we did not pick up the remote control from the lady, so he headed back off in his car, leaving me and Darren to get it in the house, and up the stairs (mighty small and steep stairs, I might add!). So, we got it to the bottom of the stairs, and realised this was going to be difficult.
After quite a bit of thinking, we decided to just go for it - we done one step, then I thought “oh sod this, lets get going” haha, so I said “ok, ive got it, you push, three, two one!” then we just went, and I said “we’re on a roll, DON’T STOP!” and we managed to get to the very top of the stairs! With a bit of twisting and pulling we got it in his room.
*sighs in relief*. If he moves, the TV stays - end of story!

Just thought that I would write a small blog post to let you guys know that I will be attending the airshow today at Lowestoft, my marverlous home town *coughs and laughs*.
If any of you go there, or already have been (if its now friday or saturday), you should send me some pictures in and I will post them in a blog post on Sunday! 
Hope all of you that attend enjoy it and for those of you who are not - I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Geekin’ it out!

Ya know what? Until today I really thought that I was over you.
When you text me back today - I feel over my own feelings.
I’m not sure if I can go on with you in my life, I really don’t know. I want to. ‘Cause you’re a good friend. But I am really unsure if it is something that I can carry on with. Atleast not for a while.
So for now, goodbye.

I am going to be setting up a blog where anybody that is a LTC Member or friend can either register and become a bloger, or you can use the WordPress port system that I am going to be creating.
The idea is, any blog post that I (or another contributer) writes will get automatically ported over to http://blog.livetocruise.net (not yet setup) and will be posted there (atleast, a preview) and a link going back to the main blog post, so users can comment and such. Or, you can just write directly into the blog.livetocruise.net blog!
I am hoping that contributers will blog atleast once per week although I have and will be trying to post once every day or so! There will be no limit to the amount that people can post of course!
I think I am going to be using the WicketPixie WordPress theme released by Chris Pirillo!
I will be posting more later!

I think it is about time that I gotten round to writing another post on this blog!
As you can see, there has been a few modifications installed onto the blog, WicketPixie and its accompining applicaitons. Not 100% sure if I will be keeping this as of yet - we’ll have to see!
LCS 2.0 is under going further development, a few features will be branched out into the current version to give them a quick taster of what’s going on! The only feature upgrade that has been released on current public version is the updated !prices list - check the LTC Forums for that!
For the last week or so, I’ve felt like I have been half here, half not here… Not really sure why, but I do have a few feeling as to why I might be feeling like this - but either way, I’m sure it is something that I will get over!
It’s my birthday coming up soon (6th July) - and I’m really not even getting excited, not even in the slightest. Maybe someone will say/do something that will get me excited? *shrugs* Who knows!?
Anyrate, thought I would just updated! End of update!

So, I have been up most of the night, and all of today, how insane must I actually be?
I found out the most ridiculous thing today. Every single Saturday of my life, there has always been a posty walk past and sometimes put something into my door. But, it has never ever occurred to me that the postman in the little red van - never comes on a Saturday or a Sunday. I was expecting my loverly RC Helicopter to arrive today as that was the length on the postage request - but it turns out because it was only First Class normal postage - it gets held behind until Monday.
Now, I see this as completely ludicrous. The guy paid first class, for something that is going to take longer than second class - and surly if the people on the bikes do it on a Saturday, why on earth can the van drivers not. I see it as the best time to do it to be quite fair with you. I mean, most people don’t work on a Saturday, so that means that people will actually be home when the guy goes to deliver it.
I had my parachute on ready for my first flight, but, it seems that I am going to have to wait till Monday evening to even USE the god dam thing. I wanted a weekend of fun with it. What makes it even WORSE is the fact that I required 8 AA’s for the transmitter (handset), so I decided to buy 8 rechargeable batteries, now, I thought “OK, it is going to be getting here tomorrow, so I better make sure that these god dam batteries get here on time, or I am just going to get angry!). So, I paid extra cash, which now shows me that it was a complete waste of cash. I just love wasting cash, and my time….
So at the moment - I hate Royal Mail…. BLAH

I have managed to get myself a job! With a decent wage too.
This does mean that most of my projects here are going to have less development time and what not, but I’m sure i can manage to squeeze in some time somewhere!
