Ahhh, the World Cup 
So much football on the TV.
ITV's coverage is annoying me already. For starters, they've got that long nosed idiot who does the Formula 1 and I don't like him.
Also they have stupid sponsor advert thingies from Budweiser, which make me want to throw things at the telly. Har Har Mr American person, you are not funny. ("World Cup? with more than one country involved?!") Go away.
I listen to Virgin on my way to and from work, so over the last few weeks I've heard nothing but their stupid unoffical football anthem. Oh sorry, the "people's anthem". It's a big pile of crap.
The official Embrace effort isn't so hot either, but I've only heard that once so it's not annoying me. The bloke out of Sham 69 was moaning about it on the telly the other day, saying it's just a pop song pretending to be something else, blah blah blah. As if his effort is any different - it's a crap punk song with the words changed! Very good...
Nothing beats Three Lions anyway.
The baby birds from outside the front door flew away last weekend. I was going to write about them ages ago, but forgot...
They're songthrushes apparently. That picture is from, um, last Friday I think. Don't they look evil? The mother bird was even more evil looking, glaring at us whenever we went out of the door.
I'm not fussed at all with baby birds. Alex thought they were cute, even when they looked like a mushy lump of alien squiggling around in the nest. Oh yes, and being sat on. It was quite weird to peek into the bush and see a big fat bird with assorted beaks and wings sticking out from underneath it.
Enough bird talk! Speaking of babies though, Alex and I were looking through friendsreunited the other day. The ones from our year who have kids now are exactly the same people you'd expect to. hehe, stupid chavs.
Nice to see that my new ISP started charging on the day I placed the order, rather than now (two weeks later) when the internet actually starts working....
Anyway, the broadband is on, and is rather fast so I'm happy. Now I can go back to some serious job hunting.
The new house is very nice, certainly better than previous ones, mostly because this isn't a student house and isn't anywhere near Stoke - which now seems to be home of the BNP. Lovely. We've moved to toryland it seems, hehe.
There's no chavs in the village, no streetlights, no annoying kids on mini motorbikes. Just lots of tractors and wildlife. No pub either though, and the lanes around are a bit narrow and scary in places. But that's cool, there's not a huge amount of traffic and I drive carefully (no, really).
I've spent the last three weeks rebuilding websites. This one is looking a lot better now - I've finished most of the themes and tweaked the coding (look, smilies 
!). Also changed a few things with the photo gallery, and dug up some stuff from the old site which I have improved and uploaded.
I've also almost completely redone the TSP website, which wasn't as much effort as I thought. Currently working on the admin section, user logons etc, then I've got to finish the design (which has nothing to do with me, I'm just making sure it works properly and isn't made from tables and <font> tags) and it can be uploaded, assuming the band are happy with it.
People should really pay me to do this kind of stuff...
