Its time I've decided that I'm going to try and get rid of my beer belly. I'm sure it'll be the first attempt of many before I get married to loose the belly, but this is the plan ...
... I'm going to go a whole month without drinking any sort of beer or lager or bottled beer or bottled lager. This isn't going to be an alcohol free month and there is no reason why i chose a shortish month, but those are the rules. So lets see if this will work or not ... ... ... could be interesting either way.

Car Trouble continues ...
After all the agro which I had the other week with my car I thought it was going to be over for a while and my car life sort itself out ... how wrong was I!
After finally getting my car road worthy, i went to use it yesterday evening to get some dinner only to find that some stupid chaffy street punk losers had tried to break into it ... while it was on my drive! They didn't get very far and gave up, but in the process they have managed to pretty much rip the drivers door handle off and completely screw up the central locking! Just what I want to happen just before going on holiday ... i'm supposed to be relaxing!!
This leads me on to the proper rant ... don't give up when things get tough! If loser chaff kids actually decided to break into a car, don't give up at the first attempt and just do damage ... actually take the bugger! This is the story of their lives, something hard comes along, they give up and start sucking the money out of hard working people and the government.
GET A PROPER JOB AND DON'T TRY BREAKING INTO 'N' REG CARS!!!

Car trouble
I've not had a ramble for a while as I've had loads of stuff on my plate, but I feel its time to have a rant about the stupid amount of money which garages charge for fixing cars!
About two weeks ago my car decided to start to break, I managed to get down to Beaminster (even though stone henge ... or should i say the drive by tourists tried to kill it then), it sat for a couple of days and driving home was fine. After a few crunching / scraping sounds coming from the brakes and some idiot making me do an emergency brake outside my house the sound was worse ... I had to take it to the garage.
I went to the garage round the corner from my house and explained i thought it was the front brakes. My car went in yesterday morning to have the work done ... only to find that a lot more needed to be done than previously thought and yup my savings were going to take a hit.
As for the rant ... how can garages, who kinda have a neish market, charge so much for labour?!?! I know they probably made some money off the parts anyway ... but seriously! They surely only need to cover the mechanic's wages, running costs and make a little money ... I can't believe it comes to so much!
Anyway, so glad my bonus is coming through at the end of the month. I'm not going to get much and all of it is pretty much going to paying for my car :-(

BDGA Tour #7 - Quarry Park
A great weekend of disc golf was enjoyed by all at the weekend. The weather was spot on and I even got a wee bit sun burnt.
I will post more when I have time, either at work or when my internet at home gets sorted. For a quick over view of the weekends joyness the results are below:
In Open Division
1 188 Derek Robins
2 200 Bruce Webber
3 204 Matt Cutler
4 209 Charlie Mead
5 214 Conor Davies
In Amateur
1 210 Andy Solomons
2 212 Angus Bruce
3 213 Jesse Denny
4 218 Richard Wood
5 224 Andy Cotgreave
Spirit Award Ivan Bromage
And the award for the most OB's over the weekend went to ...
... ME!!!
I won a t-shirt and mini disc which were donated by the chaps north of the boarder.
First thing I've ever won at a disc golf event, hopefully next time it'll be a bit better than most OB's ... but hey, got to start somewhere ;-)

Gotta Love the tinterweb!
You hear stories about how the internet is being used for bad things and illegal things, and sometimes you loose sight of the joys which the internet can bring ...
... but there are also very good things that the internet brings, not to mention things which couldn't be possible without it, which is why I'm posting. I am listening to internet radio, which is currently broadcasting a live DJ set from a night club in Japan! ( DJ SILVER FROM TOKYO - LIVE RIGHT NOW 3-JULY-07!!! on Di.FM).
How cool is that!!!
And the part which makes me smile is that i'm sitting in the office staring at my computer screen coding away ... and there are hundreds (if not thousands) of Japanese people raving away to the same music I'm listening to!
