Maybe you don't understand how this works...

I don't really follow the football, not when there's E3 and Glastonbury to more fully occupy the TV. But I did stay behind with some guys from work to watch the England game - the one they won, not the most recent one!!!

One of the teacher related a great conversation they'd had with a pupil

Teacher: What's the score now?

Pupil: 1-0 to England!

Teacher: Great! Who scored?

Pupil: Err....England?!!!


Guess it was kinda obvious really!!! Oh and Defoe scored the goal (I think) if you're wondering.

Systems

I thought I might share with you some of my systems for web posting in various formats. Most of us like to put things on our blog, Facebook pages and computers. I got bored with waiting around with the same picture or words so I took to regularly updating by web output and this has slowly turned into a rigid system which I now stick to rigidly.

Monday





Facebook status update: Unless there's something tremendously interesting going on in my life I stick to my game of posting up song lyrics as updates.









Blogga's Wall: My newest venture; on Blogga the Hutt I now post up a picture every week showing what I'm up to. My reviews and updates are rarely on time and reviewing everything I did would be tedious so it's a quick way of showing what's new - be it movies, games or as we see this week: comics.

Wednesday





Facebook status update. Continuing the system. I work through an album song by song, picking any song line that fits with the 'is' status line of the original Facebook bar, the results when taken out of context are often amusing. I'm currently working through a Led Zeppelin album and am on 'Immigrant Song' currently.

Friday




Facebook status update: Yes, that's three a week, the Monday, Weds + Fri system works quite well and is used by more prolific bloggers like XKCD and Penny Arcade, ones who have real content to add!!

Saturday







Weekly Quote: You should be familiar with this, I try and get 'em in once a week, mostly I succeed. I've used a variety of sources but for a while I've been using quotes from novels listed in the 'Big Read' survey done by the BBC a while back.
















Wallpaper: I like to keep my desktop looking fresh so I change my wallpaper every week. Again I use a variety of sources, I'm currently using a nice set of Mass Effect 2 wallpapers e-mailed to me by a friend.

And that's it - interesting or a sign of madness - maybe you can tell?

Word of the post: Questionable –adjective

1

of doubtful propriety, honesty, morality, respectability, etc.: questionable activities; in questionable taste.

2.

open to question or dispute; doubtful or uncertain: a statement of questionable accuracy.

Weekly Quote Double - W/E 19/6/10

"I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a free human being with an independent will." - Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte

I saw the Leonardo DiCaprio movie recently, this has always stuck in my head

"Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word.
Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee." - Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

Nowhere near as funny but...

I've been getting into XKCD recently and I was bored and stuck for ideas on what to post so...











and I'm aware that it may not be funny at all, but a boy can dream right?

Word of the post: –Manoeuvre noun

1 a planned and regulated movement or evolution of troops, warships, etc.

Weekly Quote - W/E 05/05/10

"I don't think it will be any good trying to go back through the wardrobe door... you won't get into Narnia again by that route... yes, of course you'll get back to Narnia again some day... but don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it." - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis

Somewhat unfortunate...

From the inside cover, of 'The Pacific' - the book that accompanies the new Series. I don't have the exact words so I'm paraphrasing, but I don't think any meaning is lost.

'This is the tale of those men who fought on to the closing days of the war. Standing together they continued to the end, though there was a heavy price to pay, a price paid by all...
