The pacific

Well its coming to a end next Monday and i think i speak for many of viewers i will be sad when its gone, as its been a insight into what actually or maybe happened. the special effects and the many story lines all have the audiences gripping onto their seats as to whats going to happen next. many of the characters have intriguing story lines to capture the viewers attention. the whole idea of the film is to capture the actual events of the war from the veterans who were there and watched the whole process happen in front of them. The film also stimulates conversation in your own regarding wether would i actually be able to deal with what they saw and had to deal with back then. my self i think i would cope, but would have my downer moments watching friends die in front of me and killing for the first time. think after a while i would get used to it. The army these days is far relaxed in comparison to what happened back then. to many rules and regs to follow before you shoot someone. the programme will be sadly missed by me anyway. many of my programmes are finishing this week. going to be lost.

Summer of 09..

What can i say about summer 09.. Maybe one or two words or just maybe a few paragraphs. My Summer was filled with holidays and Titp2009 which was the cherry on the top. Holiday in new york to start the holidays off, spent two weeks there having a tremendous times going to times square the m&m shop which by the way is a shop in a half, every flavoured of m&m and i pick the flavour that appeals the most peanut butter, Yummy!! Then going to madame tosaudes(spelling) which i went twice to. forgot my camera the first time, so 62 dollars later. Then saw the best view in my life, top of the empire state building to me thats a majestic view. one look to the left you have queens and then the right new jersey. Then had the best dinners every night at all the restaurants t-bone stakes and just glorified heart attacks on a plate with a side order of fries.. scrumptious!! after a visit to the states came home then fired away to the other side of ireland to a weee village called Lack. Was going there to see my auntie, drove all the way from glenrothes, brilliant drive specially in my tuned vw golf r32. 250 miles of pure bliss, 640bhp under my hood i was a happy boy for 8 hours. so staying in ireland and in the smallest village from what it looked like as there was two pubs but only one got used. and the barmaid was only 15 and got free drink. Brilliant. Drove home from there to then buy camping tickets for titp and buy enough drink to put the rab c nesbit to shame. 24 tins of blackthorn, 30 tins of strongbow, 10 tins of fosters for that morning breakfast and to top it off a plastic bottle of russias finest vodka, 2ltr of course. very little food consumed at that weekend apart from very exspensive chips and cheese £4.50 to be exact so needless to say i didnt spend much. putting aside the drink and the catalogue priced chips and cheese. the weather was ace, scorching all weekend. I pretty much had my t shirt off the whole weekend and only having moisturiser to keep my skin happy well lets just say that never went down to well when i got home, i peeled for weeks but it was a enjoyable as i had the best tan i ever had. Late night drinking and partying into the wee hours of the morning then sleeping for what seemed like a eternity was only two hours then up again with a tin of foster for comfort breakfast. yum.
once i got home, i decided to go on another we trip down to newcastle for fish and chips and ended up staying for the weekend at my brothers having bbqs every night and chillaxin nice wee weekend. Then in august had my best mates wedding which was amazing as i finished it in a nightclub... to go home with the bridesmaid.. Then new year came, went to the styx new year party from which we all went to a after party then i pulled again, and awaken in a randoms bed new years day. faboulous stuff. 2009 was the best year and the summer was a hit too,. but 2010 is going to be even better
plenty holidays and hopefully going to pass my first years course to gain access to my next one. titp 2010 again is going to be even better and new york in xmas happy days.

to much eating can kill you...

back to the debate of kids eating the wrong foods at school. am all for it to be honest, as i dont want my wee girl growing up on additives and high level sugars (junky food) as it does effect the brain and the growing of our kids. my wee brother was brought up differently as he was a 90's kids so the junky food was all the rage as parents were becoming work acholics. as my we brother had to much e numbers in food.. ie irn bru is speed to him as his brain is wired the other way so he has to take speed to calm him down. anyway back to the junky foods, to much crap is served at primary and high school back before jamie got his mits on it and turned canteen into a deli. so instead of chips and mushy peas and water down custurd you get celriac and chick peas and a apple. now all good for the old diet but in all fairness there has to be some option of heavy foods on the table. there probably is some pasta and sphagetti and meatballs (am in the mood for that now). nowadays kids and adults are eating the fast food option as i assume there just using it for easyness and keeps the budget in control as who wants to pay for a organic onion thats came from spain. 80p for one of them these then you have to pay for bags to carry it in. i dread the day when i see a family carrying there food home with them. clown trousers and pregnacy trousers sales will rocket. but fast food has become the food to eat. as no one wants to eat spinach or rocket for lunch.

"if i won the lottery"

Many a time has this sentence graced our lips and our minds, "if i won the lottery" and we ponder and excite our selfs with the what ifs and build our house in our head. Having said that, majority of us dont play the lottery but have the thoughts of winning all that money. So if we ever won the lottery what would we actually do?

My first what ifs, if you will. would be buy my own house, scratch that build my own house with all ergonomically found products such as bricks from demolitions and many more products that have been recycled. Would pretty much build the whole house my self as i would have that warm sensation of satisfaction just building a house from scracth. would buy a nice couple of acres in the suburbs of new york next to a lake. Now a house isnt complete without the array of cars on the drive ranging from the lambourghini lp670, 1970 shelby mustang (elenor), Range Rover sport in white with the biggest drug dealer rims (not suitable for off raoding i know, but who in their right mind would take such beauty on the dirt roads).

With the rest of my millions.. i have thought of this for a while, would try and get alot of builders to come across with me to africa to build houses for the families and communitys for them to start a new life. would have the same layout as some of the streets we have here in scotland. rows of houses all 5 beds with their own shop. i would also try and reguvenate the dirt so they can grow their own produce and sell it at the market i would build. Would buy a good few hundred cows and sheep and hire some farmers to teach them others ways that will help them. also i would set up a security guard to ensure no rioting, maybe good hundred for the area i would cover.

with what i had left of my money i would pay of close friends mortgages. i would give my family just £10,000 each so they cant complain or come to me every six months asking for a lend of money that ill never see again.

Then the rest of my money i would ask a stock broker some advice on the market on whos the best company to invest into. then plow my money on the dow and fste. as thats where majority of my money is now.

Elections...........Yawn

well couple of days and we know the out come of the biggest anti-climax election.. To be honest i really dont care. Every single mp or pm is out for them selfs and it shines right through like a slap in the with a old cheesey sock. They all spew this non sense about they can make thinsgs better, lets be honest here if they can make it better why havent the labour party done it.... explain that!!!! any bill that is passed is for a profit to the mp's and pm not the tax payers pocket.

Come Read with me..

watched the episodes of come dine with me in scotland... Oh dear what a disaster that should of been put on at night with a sign language women trying there hardest to translate the slur of the scottish accent. One contestant accent was so strong that even the programme itself had to translate the man's accent. How anyone can think that recording a episode of that in scotland would be entertaining has to have been born with a mild sense of humour. as we just sound plain stupid. There was one gentlemen who was from england and the first time i actually felt sorry for the guy... he was totally bambozzled about everything the wanabe braveheart was saying.

at the end of the programme they become good friends... yawn.

dave lamb was the only reason the programme kept me intrested.

happy days
