So we bought another digibox today for the TV in my room, cause I don't have digital so need to sort this shit out.

Fucking pointless fucking ballsup. Don't see the fucking point in the siwtchover when the picture improvement, though noticeable, is hardly worth the hassle and cost.

Suffice to say the digibox didn't fucking work. Wired it up every way possible, nothing. All that we've succeed to do is fucking break a video recorder, and lose the channel for the video...

Today was one of the worst days of my life.

We've had to put our cat to sleep. To some people this may not seem so disasterous but it's just not the same situation.

She was nearly 21 years old. I've known her all my life. My first word was "cat" for fuck's sake. I'm an only child, so in many ways she was the closest I had to a sibling.I've never considered any of our cats as just pets, they've always been true family.

All but 2 years of my life w've had...

Well, my entire past year of work has basically just been made redundant, and my hopes for the future have been rather spectacularly slapped in the face, ridiculed and shot dead.

I have currently got/am on track to get, if not exceed, the required grades for my chosen universities- Im on track for an A* and 2As, possibly 2A*s and an A (I got a C in my 4th subject but through re-sitting I can bump it up to an A). So, all good right? Wrong.

I've been told that applying...

So I went to the doc's on...Thursday? I think. Waited ages as usual.

Got my shirt off, used the stethoscope, and the good news is its nothing cardiovascular.

Apparently its possible muscle spasms, potentially due to overcoming a viral infection. I also suspect it could just be beneath-surface bruising, perhaps from my brag strap.

he also said it could be hormonal, which puzzled me. I wasn't aware guys got hormonal pains in that area. Maybe I need to breastfeed....

So I've been getting chest pains, to the upper left of my chest in the heart region. Sharp pains, that dont tend to last long, and feel like theyre beneath the surface. Can be accompanied by the surface skin feeling tender.

Started yesterday afternoon, didn't last long. Had it again midday today briefly, and again just now but lasting a bit longer.


I'm tyring to book a doctor's appointment for either tomorrow or Friday, whichever possible. I'm highly concerned...

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you have a good 2009, and a good 2009 to all? Or whatever the saying is.

Ahh, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights.

On boxing Day i went to the customary Boxing Day football match. Match sucked, my team lost, but that's not of relevance. What's of relevance is that before the match, walknig up the road to the pub, we saw a security van, and a bunch of cops dotted along the street as always. The van's alarm had gone off under an accidental false alarm, and over and over, for all the road to hear, it kept bleating
"Help! Help! Security Vehicle under attack!...

FG so wants to be in place of Russell Brand there.


Edit: Thank you Leto for pointing out that error.

Weirdest experience of my life today. To set the scene, i've had 2 experiences of Deja Vu since starting college, more than I've had in the same number of...
