I thought I would start with just a small comment on the way I feel at the moment. I feel pissed off. I suppose I ought to explain that a little more. Firstly you need to be aware of the fact that I have a long history of computer problems, I would say that every computer I have ever owned and almost every computer I have ever used (including work ones) has gone wrong, after a while you can't help but start to think "Maybe it's me", and I don't think that has anything to do with my normal paranoia, it's just logical. Well, suprise suprise, our new computer isn't working properly and here's a brief run down of what's happened. I connected it all together and the speakers didn't work, I did what it said in the Windows trouble shooter and locked the whole computer up, it wouldn't open Window XP at all. We then had to contact a friend of Niki's who a computer expert and he asked us few questions and we ended up having to completely re-install Windows XP. Now the computer opens up fine, but the speakers still don't work. I've decided it's best for me to leave it alone (especially as I do have a tendancy to loose my temper with things and people of this nature which often results in things like lots of bits and no computer), and Niki is going to phone the company we got it from next week to complain and ask them what we should do. So, this episode, along with a few other minor things that have been getting me down lately (and also the weather), have left me feeling more than a little pissed off and unenthusiastic about things.

As promised here are some pictures of mine and Niki's tattoos. This is Niki's first tattoo (it's on her back, high up in the middle of her shoulders just below her neck), the first picture was taken just after it was done (sorry it's so dark, forgot to lighten it before I uploaded it) and the second picture was taken yesterday:

This is my new tattoo, I had it done (freehand) around the existing tattoo of the chinese symbol for good luck, again the first picture was taken just after it was done and the second one was taken yesterday:

Also as promised here is a picture of the Tascam 424 MkIII portastudio that I got off E-bay:

Well here it is, the moment you've all (well possibly at least a few of you) may possibly have been waiting for, the result of the competition that I set in my 100th posting. I currently (and this figure has remained static since the day I set the competition) have 3869 MP3's in my collection. So the winner with the closest guess is atu congratulations

Hopefully they will contact me to let me know exactly which prize they want, although I will contact them directly to let them know they've won.

Well, I suppose that's me for now, see y'all.
