General Election
I really hope David Cameron doesn't win this election. His ideas are just...well shit. There's no other way to say this. My personal favourite is Nick Clegg. But there we go...

I made a group on Facebook about a week ago, entitled 'I hate it when people take my stuff WITHOUT asking!!"...So far I've got 657 members which is my highest ever for a group! I'm literally amazed! I'm just hoping we can get to 1000 at some point. Already passed the 500 mark...Click here and join it if you haven't already!

If you type that code into your Nokia, it'll show the exact date it had been made. Mine was the 7th of August! quite surprising seeing as I got it on the 26th of September!

GTA
I got another new game the other day, GTA IV, or 4 to people who can't read Roman numerals. When we first got it, the disc didn't work but it seems to be alright so far now we've had it repaired.
The graphics seem very good, and the game play is fun but I suppose I'll go into more detail at a later date...

SUNNY...Nissan
This was Mum and Dad's very first car...We got this beast in 1983! I actually quite liked it. We had the 1983 model. We had so many memories in that car...Shame it's gone.
DLC... Disappointment Loaded Content.
Earlier I entered my Forza Motorsport DLC code on the Xbox 360 downstairs, however I used my hard-drive. I didn't realise that it would work ONLY on the Xbox 360 downstairs! Not mine upstairs. However I couldn't use the one upstairs as it didn't have an Xbox connection...So really I'm pretty screwed. I can't use the cars I downloaded upstairs, but I can downstairs. Then again I NEVER get chance to use the 360 downstairs.
It's very, very disappointing! Yes, I'm sad I know...

Ford Transit...
Few objects have reached the point of popularity in which they're referred to by their brand-name...You don't want a 'vacuum cleaner' you want a Hoover. You don't want an MP3 player, you want an 'iPod', and you don't want a van...You want a Transit!
The Ford Transit has to be one of the best vehicles ever made. Sure, it's a van. It's sluggish despite having a reasonably big engine, and sure it's heavy, but it has a similar chassis to a car. It has a car's running gear too...Meaning it handles somewhat similar. The high centre of gravity makes it a more fun ride too!
When it was released it was quick compared to most cars! With a top-speed of 90 miles an hour. It was also surprisingly agile, and spacious compared with other vans...It was the perfect vehicle. 'Tis why 95% of armed robberies in the 1970's involved a transit. Not many cars, let alone vans have ever lived up to that legacy!
Not just that, it could make an excellent moving home without being turned into a caravan ;)
Eyjafjallajoekull...?
That Icelandic volcano erupted recently. It's disrupted ALL flights to an from the UK, and is causing wide spread flooding after many glaciers melted. It must be really bad if it's causing planes to stop in England, not just Iceland...Bad times. The planes are grounded until at the very least 6.00pm, and I can imagine it's going to cause many problems for holiday makers.
According to news reports, the plume of ash has reached places as far away as Russia, and has no real signs of stopping...Bad times!
It does make sense to stop the flights though. Volcanic ash does have a tendency to cause Jet-Engines to stop working, and as a result crash...In hindsight I'd rather be delayed for a while before being able to board a plane than have it crash whilst I'm on it because of a volcanic eruption in Iceland...
Fiat 500 Abarth
I have a lot of time for the Fiat Abarth 500...The regular 500 seems to be 'the handbag of the car-world' but the Abarth is cool, quick, and quirky. It also looks much more professional than the regular 500...what a beast...!
There are many cars I'd still prefer, such as the Fiesta Zetec S, Clio R28 and the Peugeot 207...But the Fiat does surprisingly well...For girls car!

Last Term Tomorrow
Well, we've just had 2 weeks off 6th form. Go back tomorrow! I really can't be arsed to go though, partly because this 2 weeks has been one of the best I've had so far! I've spent around 7 nights with Megan...and about 10 days! Good times. I can't really fault this holiday, at all! Been to Sheffield, put on far to much weight and lots of other stuff. Though the best stuff by far was seeing Megan...
The other day, I saw that 'Kick-Ass' film, it quite literally kicked ass...It was awesome! The best film I've seen at the cinema in ages! Definitely worth a watch! 10/10!

Sheffield.
Yesterday I went to Sheffield. We originally went to Meadowhall in the car but got the train from Meadowhall. The trains on the Northern service range from 'reasonably nice' to 'oh my god..was this crappy thing built by half-blind drunken Russians in the early 1950s?'
We got a bad one. It really was extremely old, looked like it was falling to pieces, was dank, dark. It really was indescribable. Not much you can do about it though. Thank god we've got East Midlands rail in our county!
Sheffield itself was alright though.

FACT IV.
Another set of random and most likely useless facts.
1.) The oldest Goldfish on record lived for 43 years.
2.) In Baltimore, Maryland (USA) it is illegal to take a Lion to the Cinema.
3.) The most popular Male dog names are Max and Jake.
4.) If Facebook were a country, it would be the 5th most populated country on earth, behind China, India, the USA and Indonesia.
5.) On average, one Ford F-Series pick-up truck is sold every minute.
6.) The most scrapped car in the UK is the Vauxhall Astra MKII.
7.) Cats sleep for an average of 16-18 hours per day.
8.) The Mitsubishi Starion was so named because the Australian developers misheard the word 'Stallion' from the Japanese company.
9.) There are at least 170 Billion galaxies in the Universe.
10.) Middlesbrough is the worst place to live in the UK as of 2007. Mansfield is 9th, and Nottingham is 4th.

I have a serious problem.
As the title suggests, I have a problem. I now can't stop drawing tanks, crushing cars. It's like a disease! I've drawn 3 in less than a week and a half! I know it's very sad, but I've had people say "It doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it". I have to agree, but still...Could be counted as a problem.
Also, earlier I was reading Facebook and saw a girl who said "2010 has been shit". Now, this girl is spoilt, very much so. She's looking to get a Fiat 500 as her first car. All her clothes are designer. Sure, bad things have happened, but I know people who have had worse things this year. Now, how can you say '2010 is shit' when in actual fact it's not been so far! This year has barely started, who knows, it may change. I personally think it's been a great year so far, even if I've had one or two seemingly tedious days.
My best friend Debbie had a death of a close family member occur this year, and yet she seems to be holding up fine, not going around saying this year has been 'shit'. Man up woman! Pull yourself together, follow Debbie's example.
Forza Motorsport
Forza Motorsport is one of the very best game-series on the Xbox, and definitely the best racing series. I'd personally say it was better than Gran Turismo, but that's just me.
The series began in 2005 with Forza Motorsport, released on the Xbox only. It contained well over 200 cars, which whilst not as many as Gran Turismo, they were more detailed. They also could be highly tuned, and be given a custom paint job using 'vinyls' etc...
The second in the series was released in 2007 for the Xbox 360. It had much better graphics both on the cars, and on the tracks. The game also included more content, such as more cars and tracks. However many types of race (Point-To-Point) had been removed. The ability to customise cars and create custom paint-jobs were still included.
The final(?) game in the series was released in 2009, again for the Xbox 360. It has slightly improved graphics on cars and tracks. It also contained more extensive damage physics (Cars could roll over). It contained yet more cars, and tracks...as well as the implementation of the 'point-to-point' races, and drag races.
In the end, Forza 1 and 3 were the best, and Forza 2 was still a very, very good game. All round a 10 out of 10 if you want something more that isn't as realistic as Gran Turismo 4/5, yet more realistic than Project Gothem Racing 4.

Pictures up. Car cleaned.
Yesterday after getting home from Megan's house I decided to put ALL the pictures from my phone onto my Laptop. There were several hundred! All from different times too!
I also cleaned the Subaru today! So now it's all nice and shiny! Great! I had been asked to for several months, but the weather hasn't been good enough really. Took a few photos of the car too.
