Andrew your a genius!!!!!!!!!

I only just spotted this and its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been a wee bit busy here!!
But on Sunday my hands were firmly tied by Virgin broadband as the provider went down for over 22 hours, which was realy annoying!
Grrrrrrr!!!
Well Derek and I have finally gone hi tech and entered the 21st century this week! For our new home, Derek has ordered a Blu-ray home cinema system from Amazon, and I have got my first ever Ipod!! hehehehehe....Now with the ipod I was a bit befuddled realy as I have never used one before, and as I got it from ebay there was no instructions with it, although it is a new Nano, so I had to download the instructions from the internet...and WOW!! what a new world I entered! Untill I got this perky little device I had somehow convinced myself that they were just for teenagers and only stored an inordinate ammount of music. But oh how wrong I was! At first I was quite dissapointed as I had to register with Itunes to use my new nano, and I had imagined this to be quite restrictive as I know itunes charges for downloads. So I put my brain into gear, learnet how to use my pod and figured out the navigation of itunes and its absolutly brilliant! No sooner had I hooked up the pod to my laptop, than it started downloading some 500 songs from my hard drive and it only took seconds! The I explored other oppertunites and test downloaded an episode of Harry Enfield for the princely sum of £1 from itunes. At this point I was thinking a full TV episode would take hours to down load but I am happy to say I was wrong! It took seconds!! and I am going to follow it today by downloading some of my favorite Fauwlty Towers episodes! Oh how chuffed to buggery I am!!!!!!!! and I havent even began to explore the movies and video recording capabillities of my new found electronic friend. I showed it to mum on Sunday and she could hardly belive her eyes!! I asked her what Dad would have though of it? She laughed and said "Joyce! Vicky has left her ciggie lighter here again!!"...So now I am looking forward to entering the world of blu-ray ome cinema!! I have been checking out the blu-ray titles on line and at local stores and I must say I have been quite dissapointed with the choice as it seems very limeted to new release cinema! However I have found a little gem on ebay! "The best of Ray Harryhousen" on blu-ray which is a three disc set of this genius of stop start animation!! I would love it if I could find the best of "Stan Winston!" the monster making genius behind Alien, Predator, and the Kathogo from "The Relic"!! But sadly (for me at least) The selection of "Hammer" films on blu-ray is almost non-existant! Booo Hoooo!!!! I can't exisit without my Hammer films!! But I am sure in time they may well be released!
As for our house!! Well I have not been brave enough to go round there this week! Derek has told me the ceiling from the main bedroom has compleatly gone!!! Goodness know what a mess its in!! and they have started work on the livingroom cieling. The actually refurbishment starts in the first week of February! I can't wait!! So in the meantime I have comforted myself with going on a very retro, Pertwee kick as well as watching the full set of "Key to time" (Oh God I need to get a life!!) while sitting comfortably on my brand new Dr Who dovet cover on the bed!! I couldent resist it!!! £20 for the full Dr Who, double douvet set from ebay...the only probalm is now Derek and I argue over who gets what, Tardis, Cybermen, Dalek pillowcases we get each night so I have to keep swapping them! LOL!!! (we both need to get a life!!!) Derek has bought me a docking system for my ipod so I am going to try that out today! I wish I had my pole around here so I could start pole dancing again, as recently I have been sitting around far too much and am feeling very unfit! Crikey!! I have just had a thought that I hope they don't take the living room ceiling down as my pole attachment is in the ceiling, bolted to a joist in the bedroom floor! It took Derek ages to drill and install that for me. The attachemnt without the pole looks almost like a water sprinkler so its not intrusive on my living room decore when the pole is down and put away...still, that should be the least of my concernes at the moment!
As for today, well, Derek and I are taking some time out to go and feed the ducks and Swans at Sywell res, and perhaps have an icecream! Oh and Sirius has a slight hangover as he decided it would be nice to polish off a full can of John Smiths in one go last night!!!!!! Heck if he was human he could happily drink me under the table!!
Off to play with my ipod and docking system now!! hehehehehe....should be fun!
Bye x
