Get Firefox! "my blog doesn't just deal with my life, it deals with some important stuff too"

Damn stupid email system at UWA has taken it upon itself to randomly delay 75% of all my email for 1-2 days. Stuii is now linked at the bottom of my blog in place of Woodsta. The links were random anyway (just the ones I could remember).

Yesterday I bought my car insurance and I am now thoroughly expecting the bankruptcy proceedings. I really can not afford the £1400 insurance. I'm still hoping to be able to convince the parents to pay it for me instead of buying me Christmas / Birthday presents. It was their suggestion, not mine, but I like it. I hate the way I am instantly put into the "dangerous" group for insurance, just because I'm a young male who has only just passed his test. Yes, there are a lot of young males who have just passed their tests who bomb around like twats, but that doesn't mean I will. It's very discriminative. And don't even get me started on the "Girls, get a 20% discount on your car insurance" adverts.

Went to the video shop last night to get a video and decided I'd get two. Unfortunately "Full Metal Jacket" had gone missing so I couldn't get that out. Good job really, because she then called up my details on the computer and found I had a fine. I'd been expecting that and so asked how much it was. £7! OUCH. She was so apologetic too. I kept saying it wasn't her fault, it was mine for not returning them on time.

Tom Jones quite unexpectedly turned up when I got back. Went for a quick pint in the Scholars shit-hole before he buggered off back up the hill. After he had gone I sat down to watch Johnny English. It was OK, but nothing special. It certainly wasn't as funny as the critics made out. Personally I thought that Rowan Atkinson was far funnier in Rat Race.
