Skiddaw on bank holiday Monday

Last week i mentioned that myself and my girlfriend are going away on Bank Holiday Monday to the Lakes to attempt to climb up the fourth biggest mountain in the United Kingdom. We made it to the Lakes and got to the start of the mountain, the weather was… OK’ish at the start but when we started going up we realised it was a very bad idea to do this. The weather turned on us and started pouring...

Going to the Lake District this bank Holiday

It’s another bank holiday weekend here in the UK and on bank holiday Monday me and my lovely girl friend are going to go to the Lake District – famous for lakes and mountains. It wasn’t that long ago when we stayed in a nice hotel in the middle of nowhere, that was a nice time. On Monday we are going to attempt to climb Skiddaw, the fourth highest mountain in England. I don’t think...

Still looking for a new car

I’m still looking for a new car because i don’t like my Saxo VTR anymore. I’ve been looking at a number of cars and i really like the Fiesta ST. The only thing that is putting me off is the rising costs of petrol. Do i need the power in the ST? Not really because i don’t drive a lot to be honest. It is however nice to drive a good car and you can feel proud driving a good car. There...

The free Google mouse mat i received

No not direct from Google but still. One of my good friends, Carey gave me a free Google mouse mat after he had visited Google in London last week. It was Internet World in Earls Court, London and he attended the Google University for Adwords. They gave everyone red Google bags with sweets, pads, pens and mousemats – plus a £50 voucher for Adwords! The talk was about adwords, how to make the most of...

I might need a new car any time soon!

The car i have (saxo vtr 1.6) is on its way out. Over the past few months i’ve been taking it to the garage and spending quite a lot of money on it when it could go towards a new car. I’ve been looking at a 2.0l Ford Fiesta ST that does 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. Now i’m not really into speed and that but i love the ST’s interior. My friend has a white ST and he took me out in it, its a...

I’m enjoying Firefox more than I.E

I used Internet Explorer as my main and only internet browser but as of recently it has started going real slow and i mean real slow. It would take ages loading up, a short delay moving from one site to another, i was just sick of it so i had to find an alternative. Firefox was the answer. I downloaded and installed Firefox for the first time and i can honestly say it’s better than I.E simply because...
