Predictably.......

In quite a direct way,these babies once gave me a sense of purpose,caring for them.These are one of the the few things I have to thank for my life.......

I love my comedy too.Big fan of Steve Coogan,Rik Mayall,Ade Edmondson,Paul Merton to name but a few..........

As well as cars, i love my home theatre.
Been into it for a long time. My first plasma was £3000 in 2001
Just had a major overhaul of gear and moved over to Blu-Ray. Well pleased, looks and sounds awsome!

I also spend a fair bit of time and money on PC gaming. Love COD 4 online and anything else with guns and soldiers in! Mmmmm... graphics cards etc..

Like a bit of military history too.

I also like to read a good book when i get the chance.

Blimey, where to start. I never thought much about stuff like this as i always reckoned i was pretty bloody boring...

Anyway.

Like to do swimming, running and huge MTB bike rides....usually do 3 rides a week all off road stuff around 25 to 35 miles in a couple of hours. Can be found riding like a hooligan on the local cycle and bridleway tracks most nights.

Like playing a keyboard badly but the one ive got now isnt as good as id like so im off to get a better one the weekend.
Also like knocking up little videos (if you hadnt noticed) so a little bit of video editing.

Heres a couple of others i faffed about with.

Sorry, which one are you?

I was looking on the web at lunch, looking for something funny to say about fishing when I came across an angling website in Canada with this story. It made me giggle a bit

STUN GUN
Pocket Taser Stun Gun. Last weekend I saw something at Louie's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Toni.
What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!! There I sat in my recliner, my kitten Wildfire looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I
really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Wildfire (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet white kitten. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger,I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched
delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a
three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "No possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.
I'm sitting there alone, Wildfire looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles no where to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in
the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before,licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to her self, "do it again, do it again!" Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser,one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap
yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative.
SON-OF-A-... that hurt like hello!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did
they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.

I'm still looking for my testicles.... I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return.
Still in shock,
brntrout
Wonder if it can be used for fishing too, hmmm

and another...

His and hers diary entries:

HER DIARY
Tonight I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong; he said nothing. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched Canadian Sportfishing on T.V. Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed, and to my surprise he responded to my caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep I cried. don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY
I had the worst day fishing, lost my favourite lure, everyone caught their limit and I got nothing, then on the way back I broke my fishing rod when I tripped in the river and got soaked ...but at least I got lucky.
