Watch this space people! I just registered a new site that I’m going to release to the general public as a service! Free to start… but who knows what will happen after a few months of popularity!
Wish me luck… and visit the site. Let your friends know… let everyone know!
Cheers!
FD
(edit: it may take a few days for the site to go live… so if nothing happens, come back later)

Bryans laptop was taken back to John Lewis today. So he got another Sony Vaio. We went for breakfast afterwards and I took this piccy of him.
He’s mad he is!

Went to Soho after work yesterday and met up with Bryan who had met up with Ian and Mark. The three of them hiding in the corner of The Rupert Street bar drinking bottles of wine! Ordered a glass myself and we had a very pleasant afternoon / early evening. I quite like Mark, really pleasant guy and easy to talk to.
After the two of them left to meet up with Marks partner Craig, Bryan and I finished our wne (drunk at this point). While we were there, some freaky felllow sat down next to me and started chatting me up. Now, call me old-fashioned… but you don’t chat someone up with the details of your previous nights drug-count. At this point I was squeezing Bryans leg repeatedly to let him know I wanted out of the situation!
He obliged…. and we went to Mr Wu’s for dinner! YAY!!! MR WU!!!
I ate far too much and had trouble going to sleep because my stomach kept on cramping! Not pleasant!
Lesley is up in the Highlands at the moment learning to Snowboard… she’s slightly dissapointed apparently as her knees aren’t strong enough to support the sport. I think she should perservere though and strengthen up said knees. She’d get the hang of it eventually… will have to wait and see what happens!
So, B and I are off to take his laptop back as there is something wrong with the wireless network card. Keeps killing itself.
Luvies… FD

I have been screaming at Outlook express for the past two weeks for timing out eveytime I try send an email I’ve even
raised the issue with Dreamhost who said it was possibly my firewall.
Same error… ” can’t connect… blah blah… blah blah!”
Then finally, after spending hell knows how long trying to find an answer to my email woes… I discover that AOL, being the dicks that they are, have blocked the sending of email through port 25!!!
Not all the time though… intermittently! WTF!?!?!
“Change the port to 587 to use third party email programs”
*FD shakes his head and whispers to himself “why meeeee…. “*

Well today has been an absolute nightmare!
Back in November I placed an order at work for 14 chairs in omage6 colour. Now, these chairs don’t just arrive from around the corner as they are special chairs… from Germany!
Today, we find that I ordered the wrong chairs! Should have been omega5… which is exactly the same chair… but a little lighter in colour! Litterally one tint less that you’d expect… how do I know… I’ve seen the fabric samples!
So now I’m faced with a dilhema… do I ask Boss to take them back, and they take the loss of £3700… or do we order another 14 chairs at a cost of £3700 to us.
Answers on a postcard please… of course, if you want to buy a lovely orange chair… great for the modern office, please give me a call!
FD
PS: watch eBay… you never know!

The ivy that hung around the carport and garage was thick and full of history. The dark green and brown colours spanned the entire length of the building and small wisps of branch were making their way onto the roof of the building itself. Many would have said that the carport itself was the place that was mysterious and full of strange happenings but it was in fact the long, dark outbuilding that grew under the walnut tree which held the darkest and scariest stories!
The door to the building was only five feet away from the carports rear wall. Only 5 feet high, many visitors had to bend down to enter the dank and musky room. There were two steps down into the room which gave the entrant enough room to stand up without having to slouch. There were no windows, so the only light that came into the building was through the open doorway, and through the small gaps that were between the roof and the walls themselves. This building was definitely not regulation, which meant it was not on any planning authority books.

Hello all,
Yesterday and today have been two of the busiest days I’ve had in a very long time! Work has really spiralled out of control these days! I’m taking on a little extra stuff from my boss, and I honestly have no idea how he copes with everything that he does!
I guess it’s all a matter of getting used to the workload I guess! Work politics aside it’s quite nice to have a decent amount of responsibility in my role!
Yesterday was a killer. I got home and poor Bryan thought I was angry with him as I retreated upstairs to read my book. (Still love you luv!) and promptly fell asleep!
I’m working long hours at the moment to get the work done, but have so far only half cleared my to-do list! Hopefully by the end of the week!
Lesley bought her ski-wear today. She called me up really excited about the whole thing. I think it’ll be fabulous, snowboarding in the highlands! A bit cold but really kewl! (*jealous*)!!!!!
Watching more ice-skating at the moment. The woman aren’t as good as the boys. I think it may be a sexual thing… but they really are tame in comparisson… and that Canadian one was GORGEOUS!
Well, such is… time to go sleep some more!

Here’s something that my sister sent me that was just so frightening that I cringed… twice!
Oh, I also didn’t realise that it was a loop and started to wonder how many he was going to fit in!
