Kiwi Shot

Tiscali Customer Services 30 September 08 To whom it may concern, I am writing to complain about your truly appalling customer service that I have received.  I rang to confirm that a technician would be sent out today and to give a contact number for when he/she arrives so that there would be no chance [...]

Yet another copypasta from an email I sent home, but I’ll elaborate. As I’ve mentioned a few times, I am the world’s worst cook.  I hate cooking.  Even when presented with a recipe I’m still crap.  My friend Assmitten posts lovely food blogs about freshly picked plums and mushrooms, her amazing dinner creations, all of [...]

What a gorgeous city.  I came away thinking I’d truly made a mistake with my decision to live in London, I would love to live in Edinburgh.  It is just beautiful. I went to meet my Scottish friend who now lives in New Zealand.  He’d found a great place for us to stay, right in [...]

My good friend, who shall remain unnamed, makes me laugh when he’s trying to decipher my weird kiwi phrases.  Coupled with a strange accent each, we’re both constantly mishearing each other or highly confused. For example, whilst setting my sleeping bag up on the floor of a barn, I made a comment that I didn’t [...]

Castle Bran was the bit I’d been waiting for the entire trip. My family and Zara had nicknamed me Vampire a long time ago, due to me never ever being awake during the day and I’m pasty white compared to the rest of the family. So actually being able to go to Transylvania to visit [...]

Victory indeed. There’s nothing more satisfying than finally seeing EA humbled before the masses. Forbes has reported Spore to be the most pirated game ever, thanks to its aggressive and obnoxious security measures. As a member of Sims 2 communities, I know for a fact EA refuses to listen to its community, but it seems [...]

I finally have my laptop back up and running again, thanks to Nimby! I have a brand spanking new harddrive which is an exact copy of the old one and I’m just so happy to have it back. MY SIMS. YAY. I gave him a call to say thanks and halpisitmeanttobedoingweirdthingsonstartup, he rung me back [...]

Part 5 We got off the bus and walked into the dodgiest part of Brasov. Our new Romanian friend wasn’t kidding when he said he lived in the ghetto. We followed him up to his tiny apartment and sat on the bed whilst he yelled at his girlfriend to get up and make us some [...]

Well, the game everyone wanted is out after years of the release date getting pushed back. Spore has come out with a new friend however. The same friend that was the cause of me vowing to never legally acquire anything from EA ever again. Hello to SecuRom, the same shit infested security software that has [...]

We have one double bedroom for let in our house. We decided to get a couple in to help bring the rent down a bit and put up an ad on gumtree on Friday. The response has almost been scary. Since I am going to Scotland on Wednesday and we want someone in there asap, [...]
