Jenny's Questions —

Jenny from On Top of the World has asked me the following questions, instructions on how to get yours are at the bottom of this post. 1. Did you get bullied at school? How did you handle it? Were you a bully? Yeah… I was a victim, big style! I rarely got beaten up it [...]

On the Up… —

Seems like I'm really starting to climb out of the pit of depression I was hiding in this last week. This is partially because one of my clients at work sent me a really nice box of hand made irish chocolates to say thanks for a job well done. Nothing cheers me up like free [...]

I got featured! —

Today, despite still having a spot on the side of my nose the size of Manhattan, I'm feeling much happier. My iPod accessory site uk got featured in this months issue of PC Format magazine in a peice about how to customise the iPod! Woohoo! I'm mega chuffed!

Snuffles… —

I don't appear to be having a good day. Here's what's wrong: I have a big spot on the side of my snout. I thought I finished puberty years ago! I have a mouth ulcer. Apparently, they're stress related. (stressed… moi?) Found out today that the vendor of our flat is behind on the paperwork. [...]

Annoyed by the big guys… —

Google have annoyed me today. I got an email today saying that I'm not allowed to use the term “iPod” in any of my adwords campaigns because it infringes Apples trademarks. How the bloody hell am I supposed to use Adwords to advertise my store selling iPod accessories if I'm not allowed to use the [...]

Ow…. —

My throat is really *really* killing me at the moment. Phones have been ballistic today and I havn't yet had chance to lubricate my vocal chords with high density caffine based beverages. Need… Coffee… lots and lots of coffee. Oh… and sleep. I found out today that we'll be able to complete on the flat [...]

Insomniac —

For some reason that is beyond be, sleep seems to be passing me by at the moment. I don't know if it's because I'm stressed or overworked or something else, but it seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't get no sleep (as Faithless once said). Well… technically, it's not that I'm [...]

So True… —

I was just watching an old episode of Red Dwarf (Duct Soup) during which, Lister came out with this classic quote. “It's the forth law of the universe, You settle down with a woman and they systematically go about getting rid of all your mates”. Maybe not true for everyone, but my missus has certainly [...]

Fucking Hell… —

I've been blogging too fucking long. My first blog entry was made on the 16th of March 2001… (on my old site andyspad.net, which eventually became greendezire.com) I make that three and a bit years. Thats 324 Entries (an average of around 108 a year or 9 entries a month!). I don't really know of [...]
