Hull City beat Brentford by 2 goals to 0

I was pleased that Hull City won the match they played today at the Kingston Communications Stadium today, however I was a little bit disappointed that the Hull City World's live commentary was not working this weekend! Oh well, you cannot always have everything I suppose!

Last night I did my normal Friday night thing I went out in Hornsea, before going to the Floral Hall in the town and once again I saw some friends I haven't seen for several years so it was a good opportunity to catch up with these people!

Today, I have been working on my dissertation once again as I only have twelve days until it is due in, so I will end this post here and get back to it, will Blog again tomorrow!

Dissertation!

Spent the day working on my dissertation entitled, Promoting Scarborough on the Worldwide Web! Tonight I plan to go out in Hornsea, but I do not have a lot more to say really!

Scarborough & Scouts!

Today, I went to Scarborough to have yet more meetings about my dissertation, all good fun, with only two weeks to go until submission I think it is coming together nicely, I hope! Will speak more later as I am going to help at my local Scout Group this evening!

Dissertation!

I seriously needed to do some more work on my dissertation, which I spent the day doing and think I have nearly achieved it! There is method in my madness, if I get the work completed during the week I can have the weekends to myself!

Sorry for such a boring post but apart from a short walk in Hornsea to pay my paper's that is all I have to report!

Gym!

Today, as well as working on my dissertation, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness!

I also, updated the eurojam.org and scouting.org.uk website for the forthcoming jamboree's at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Essex.

Now I am feeling tired so I shall say goodnight to you all!

Tougher anti terror laws proposed!

The home secretary has outlined plans for more far-reaching measures to tackle terrorism in the UK as can be seen in the above article sourced from the BBC site!

However, other people such as Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti said the government was playing on people's legitimate fears of terrorism and crime to bring in more draconian law and order measures. So, we shall just have to wait and see whether David Blunkett can get his new laws through the commons!

I have being once again working hard on my dissertation, only a fortnight to go now until submission day! I have also watched Van Helsig on DVD today which proved to be a good film! Will speak more tomorrow, hope everyone at the SSAGO rally had a good weekend despite the weather!

SSAGO Rally!

I hope everyone has a good weekend on the forthcoming SSAGO bond rally down south at Southampton, I wish I could have found the time in my hectic schedule at the moment to make my way down there, as rallies can be so much fun!

I will have to try and make it to the spring rally, however there is a slight problem in that is in Scotland, so that would involve a long trek! And with my web developer role with Scouting 2007 I am not sure I will have the time, but I will try!

Hope everyone has a good weekend in Southampton!

Scarborough & Pub!

Today, I have been a busy little bee once again by visiting Scarborough this morning to do further work on my dissertation, before returning to Hornsea and going to the pub with an old friend!

Hopefully tomorrow night the rest of my friends will be back as I have not seen them for seven days with all my work for my dissertation, which is due in pretty soon!

Tonight has been the 25th anniversary of BBC Children In Need and they had there broadcast centre for the North of England in Hull, about 15 miles from Hornsea!

Hopefully by the end of the night they will have raised more, nationally, than last year, hope they do, as the television show has been good, and better than normal Friday night TV!

Scarborough & Scouts!

Today, I went to Scarborough to have yet more meetings about my dissertation, all good fun, I think! Will speak more later as I am going to help at my local Scout Group this evening!

Honda poised to make BAR F1 move!

I read with interest on the BBC website that Honda is once again going to take a large part in Formula 1 in the coming years, by maybe acquiring the British American Racing team! However, this will mean BAR team principal David Richards will move on, but the team will keep the same drivers Jenson Button and also Takuma Sato, who I personally do not think is a very good Formula One Driver, no offence Taku!

Honda has supplied engines to BAR for four years but wants to increase its commitment to winning in F1. A deal is said to be agreed, but sources differ on whether Honda will buy BAR outright or become a co-owner with a 40% shareholding.

Anyway with that all sorted it should make Formula One more interesting over the coming year! Today I have mostly being once again working on my Dissertation which is becoming harder work by the day, with only a month and a half till submission, I have really got to get working on it, will blog soon!

Dissertation and Gym!

Today, I spent most of the day working on my Dissertation before I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness!

Dissertation!

Spent the day working on getting myself organised after my weekend away, visited the doctors and then did some work for my dissertation entitled, Promoting Scarborough on the Worldwide Web! Do not have a lot more to say really!

Meeting in Reading part 2!

Spent another day in Reading which turned out very enjoyable and once again very interesting day just like yesterday, overnight I stayed at the Reading South Premier Lodge which was an excellent experience and a lot quieter than the motorway travelodges I had previously stayed in! So, it was the first time I had stayed in one of these and I thought the experience was good, so therefore it will not be the last!

Meeting In Reading!

Today, I spent the day travelling down to Reading near London, for my meeting with the other members of the Scouting 2007 team at Microsoft, which turned out to be quite a productive day on which I met with friends I hadn't seen since August and found out what I will be doing at Eurojam & Scouting 2007. If I have planned it right I hope to do work on my Dissertation on the way down to Reading!

Hornsea and Reading!

Tonight, I am going out in Hornsea to see a few of my friends at home before making the journey down to London early tommorow morning for a Scouting 2007 meeting in Reading at no less than Microsoft's European HQ, so there will be a few days without posts, will probably post again on Monday at the earliest!

Scarborough & Scouts!

Today, I went to Scarborough to have yet more meetings about my dissertation, all good fun, I think! Will speak more later as I am going to help at my local Scout Group this evening!

Beatles classic voted worst song!

I read this article on the BBC site with great interest this evening;

" The Beatles did not release Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da as a single in the UK. The Beatles' 1968 song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll. The track was on the band's White Album - which is regarded as one of the best albums ever made.

It was rated as being worse than former footballer Paul Gascoigne's Fog On The Tyne in a Mars survey of 1,000 people.

In third place was Meat Loaf's 1993 hit I'll Do Anything For Love, while 5ive, Cliff Richard, Vanilla Ice and Steps were also in the top 10.

The top 5 worst songs where;

1. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles
2. Fog on the Tyne - Gazza and Lindisfarne
3. I'll Do Anything For Love - Meat Loaf
4. Diamond Lights - Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle
5. We Will Rock You - 5ive featuring Queen

Three of the songs on the list are sung by footballers, including the 1987 song Diamond Lights by Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle.

Liverpool's Anfield Rap, featuring John Barnes, also makes the top 10.

Ian Edwards, lecturer at the Academy of Contemporary Music, said: "Admit it or not, most of these are songs that we liked when they first came out.

"That is the nature of pop music as a part of fashion. Songs are popular at the time, but times change and often this results in embarrassing additions to your record collections.

"It is interesting to note that they were nearly all hits."

A spokesman for Mars said "they asked voters to base their answers on the song's merits, not their opinions of the bands. "

I will agree with all the choices apart from Number 3 which I think is a particularly good song, and Meatloaf a relatively good artist. 5ive's take of of queen was not memorable to say the least however! And Fog on the Tyne was not appealing due to Mr Paul Gascoigne's appearance, he should stick to what he was good at. The Footballers should really stick to football, I think!

Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Released!

Mozilla have finally made the first release of there excellent browser Firefox available to us all as release 1.0. I have been using the browser for several months now and think it is a great improvement on Microsoft Internet Explorer!

Dissertation!

Did some work for my dissertation entitled, Promoting Scarborough on the Worldwide Web, don't have a lot more to say!

Well Done Paula!

Today, I had a busy day, I got up this morning turned on my monitor and it decided to do some strange things, so much so that I thought it was on its last legs which worried me! However, I went back on it this afternoon and it appears to be OK so I do not know what caused that little problem!

Today, I went through to Hull to visit the University library to take various books back and to get some others out for further work on my dissertation! Whilst doing this I called into various locations to look at the price of new monitors, the good ones are quite expensive and I would like a CTX plasma monitor as my CTX CRT has been so reliable. I have had my CTX monitor for five years without having a problem with it which is good. However when I visited the shops in Hull no CTX monitors could be found which was worrying!

Anyway, I did some more work on my dissertation in the University library and came home, the library was very quiet, today! When I got home I watched Monarch of the Glen and saw that Paula Radcliffe had won the New York Marathon, hence the title of my post!

Gym!

Today, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness!

Dissertation!

Spent the day working on organising myself and all my things in my room at home, then did some work for my dissertation entitled, Promoting Scarborough on the Worldwide Web! Do not have a lot more to say really!

Today, I went to Scarborough to have yet more meetings about my dissertation, all good fun, I think! Will speak more later as I am going to help at my local Scout Group this evening!

George Bush Wins in the U.S!

President Bush has admitted US election win which means that democratic challenger John Kerry has admitted defeat in the US election, giving President George W Bush a second term in office, we will just have to wait and see what other interesting decisions the president can cause in this term of office.

Personally, I thought that John Kerry would have made a better president, but the American people obviously didn't agree with me! And on the news of defeat John Kerry has said the fight has only just begun, so we will have to wait and see whether he can keep the pressure up on George Bush!

Today, I have been doing some more work on my dissertation, including creating a website plan, so I am now nearly at the design stage! The weather outside here in Hornsea has not been too hot, but I suppose it is England in November, no nice weather like in America! I am now going to make my way to the Gym so I will be back in time to see British Isles: A Natural History!

Scouting 2007 Web Team Meeting!

I have just found out that in two weeks time I will be making another trip down to Reading for another Scouting 2007 web team meeting! I hope it will be as enjoyable as last time, however I think it will probaby be not quite as warm as when I visited Reading last time at the end of August earlier this year. Today, I went through to Scarborough once again to do yet more work on my Dissertation!

Visit to CIC in Scarborough!

Spent the day doing more work for my dissertation, this time in Scarborough! I saw one of my old tutors and generally renewed my books and worked on my Dissertation in Hull Universities Scarborough Campus library!

Meanwhile it looks like it is crunch time for Bush and Kerry as the race for the White House goes down to the wire in the U.S. President George W Bush and Senator John Kerry spent the day careering across America's few undecided states yesterday in a frantic final pitch for votes, as last minute polls gave the president a slender lead.

An average of the polls ahead of election day tomorrow gave Mr Bush just a two-point lead, well within the margin of error.
