Hallo there you lovely Manchester dwelling people.
I have not been blogging as much as I would have like for some time now, think it all breaks down in to a few areas that could have affected this.
- Just moved flats.
- Lack of internet connection
- Work is very busy
So I’m all in now, as the title of the blog may hint I now have a TV, you may think that this is not really important in a life and I would agree but not, we all watch TV and films and films are my friend, so I got a new tv, well I say new we just got our very first tv and what a TV. Prices have dropped very rapidly over the last few years when it comes to Plasma and LCD and with the cheaper LCD catching up in quality it was time to get one.
After searching around (that’s what I do) for a good few weeks I finally found the LG 37LF75, 37 inches of 1080i High definition glory, it took some haggling at Richer sounds, well I just stood there while he came down in price for about 30mins until he told me that I should go buy it from somewhere else as that’s as cheap he could go. I have now moved all my computer as that was our make shift tv for the time and now everything has its place.
Be final connect me to their internet after messing round for 2 weeks, to begin I was not too impressed with the time it took to get things sorted out but I have to say they are slowly getting better, the internet connection is very very fast, the fastest I have seen and I look around. So now I can email, blog and facebook like a trooper. I have to say not having the internet when you move could be the worst time to go without. So now I can catch up on some TV shows and the World Wide Web community.
My boss is off and has been for the last 2 weeks, I have someone keeping an eye on what I do so I can keep an eye on what my boss does, its working sort off. I cant expect anyone just to step in to my role and not make any mistakes or get everything covered but I have to say he is doing a good job and has made this time that my boss is off much easier to cope with. One thing I have been dealing with this the word premier of Ryan Gigs DVD where all the Manchester United Team are coming to the Printworks on Thursday evening, to be honest if it was Blackburn Rovers I would be excited but ManU are like marmite, you love them or hate them. I hate marmite.
So one more week at work then I have 2 weeks off, it has been a very long time since I have had a full 2 weeks off at the same time and I’m looking forward to it.
GTA IV May 4, 2008

So I now have a Xbox 360 and nearly all for GTA IV. I love this game and have everyone and I have been excited about tit for sometime but then I find out that it won’t be out on the PC until October. October! I would like to point out that the first game came out on the pc, where is the loyalty?
So it was PS3 or Xbox 360, well if you look at how much each costs and take away the fact that the PS3 has a blue ray drive (you can get them for the pc for around £70) the xbox was the best looking. Now I don’t just have spare money hanging around so my lively girl friend decided to help me out with the cost, well she is paying for it, just thought this post should go on about how my girl friend has just got a Xbox 360 and she lets me play on it! Ok so now I have GTA and a Xbox all I need is something to play it on, I could use the normal tv in my living room or even the 22″ TFT I have for my computer but hang on, what’s this?
It would be the projector I have, full high Deff and as you can see its a good and big image. The small monitor next to the image is my 22″ TFT so you can see the size. Now this is not as big as it can go, if I moved it to my living room you can fill a wall about 10 feet across.
Now about the game, I’m not going to go in to all the little new thing about this game, if you want to play it I think you should find out for yourself, that didn’t sound right, I mean it is nice when you come across something you think is cool and didn’t know about. The graphics are wonderful and that is not where it stops, they have taken a lot of time about the game play and now with the online side of things it makes this a game that you could play for a year and never get fed up with it, now pc users may have been there already and if not you should, for the last GTA game there was a mod that allowed online racing and that was a lot of fun.
I would like to tell you more and I have still not gone on about my racing day but to be honest I want to play more GTA!!!!!!!!
