I'm James, and I'm a Pokéholic

Out of the past 60 days, I have spent more than 12 of them playing pokémon. That's 12 days as in 302 hours of playtime. I think I have a very real problem. Luckily I don't have many left to catch now, so hopefully I'll be able to stop playing. Hopefully.
This kinda explains why I have no job, no girlfriend, and no prospects.

My Exciting Life In Shildon!

I needed to get some credit for my phone, because I've ran out ('cos I've been texting this girl so hard it's clogged up my inbox! [yes, it's from Schnuckums]). Which meant going up the street to the cash point. Seeing as I was in the area, I decided to call in at Console Connections (the local indie game emporium). It was closed. Why do places close half-day on Wednesday? Shildon is the only place I know that does this. If this were Sunderland, not only would it be open, but I'd have at least four other game stores to peruse.

Then I decided to call in at the CoOp, because I wanted some chocolate. They didn't have any white chocolate, (which is the best type) and the regular chocolate was only these tiny little packs. So I figured "why bother?" If this were Sunderland, I'd have just gone to Tescos and got a huge slab of white chocolate for about 79p.

Shildon sucks :/

When did Yahoo stop being Hierachical?

Surely it should just be Yaoo? I wanted to browse through categories of websites so I could find a good Flight Simulator X forum. Now I can't. Yahoo's just another search engine. With a crappy email system that's overloaded with Spam.

Violent Fundamentalists in Fundamentalist Violence Shocker!

Is anyone really surprised that people willing to kill members of their own family are also willing to kill complete strangers?

Those Russians make sexy aircraft

This is possibly the sexiest, most futuristic aircraft I have ever seen.
It's got something like a million kilos of cargo capacity! (OK, it's less than that, cos some of that million kilos is gonna be fuel, but still...)
I really hope this thing gets built, cos it looks like something out of Buck Rogers.


Someone go use your programming\3d modelling skills to make me it for FSX, pls

Well that came in handy

Four years ago, I had to do a presentation on Legal Executives. At the time I thought nothing of it. Now I wish I could remember what I presented, since being a Legal Executive, then moving up to soliciting, seems to be a more viable career path than just becoming a solicitor.

Plus I get to be an Executive, which sounds pretty cool in my opinion.

The Generation Gap Widens

SO. I was watching Prison Break (it's on UKTV Gold) last night, and one of the characters was talking about how he had made a knife that would pull out the victims intestines (that's a wound, it'll bleed and bleed). To which another character replied "you're one sick puppy".

My mother found it hard to understand why developing a knife designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain would be considered sick. This is a woman who criticises me for believing in private healthcare, but who has no problems with prisoners torturing each other.
