Out and about!

Went for a night out in town, it was quite busy so I saw lots of people that I know. However, I cannot wait for the weather to improve slightly so I can go camping once again! As I am really missing the outdoors lifestyle at present, plus I am not getting out enough since I left Scarborough!

Today, I also saw on the web a first glimpse of the new Wembley stadium complex hosted by England's 1966 hat-trick hero, Sir Geoff Hirst, it looks like it will be a pretty impressive place once it is finished, he also unveiled the itinerary for the planned Tours, and tested out the first of the 90,000 seats that will be installed in the Venue of Legends before its opening in May 2006, to see all this for yourself click on the link above, role on May 2006!

Scouts!

This evening I am going to help at my local Scout Group which is normally an enjoyable experience! Having helped at Scouts for seven years!

I always find it very interesting to find out what the Scouts I have worked with do in life after they have left Scouts and tonight should be good!

Gym!

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

Dame Ellen MacArthur targeting new challenge!

Today I was pleased to see that Ellen MacArthur is already setting her sights on her next sailing challenge, just hours after completing her record-breaking round-the-world trip. So she's done it. Brave, brilliant, resourceful, resilient Ellen. Sailing's very own Truman Show has come to the happiest of endings.

Around the world, with only a webcam for company, a day and a half faster than previous record-holder Francis Joyon and a whole week better than Phileas Fogg's effort. The best part of 72 days and over 27,000 miles of sheer..hell! And to make it even better she actually beat a record set by the french!

I was also pleased to get a Make Poverty History banner working on my Blog site at last!

Watched Highwayman, Foolproof and Ghostship!

Over the past week I have watched three different films all on DVD, the DVD's where, and beneath the title is what I though of them;
Highwayman
Rennie Cray's wife was murdered in a hit-and-run accident over five years ago. During this time Rennie - played by Jim Caviezel - has driven across America, in every direction, looking for the man who committed the deed. That man is James Fargo - played by Colm Feore, a wheel-bound psychopath who hunts down and kills women at random.
Ghostship and
The lovingly detailed design work is the best thing about this gruesome maritime shocker. When salvage expert Byrne and his crew board the Italian oceanliner Antonia Graza in the Bering Sea, they step on to a modern day Marie Celeste, a deserted floating palace reported missing four decades ago in the North Atlantic. The splendid sets certainly look the part, combining rusted grandeur with numerous shadowy companionways, and they're creepy enough to keep the audience on edge after the opening flashback's grandiose carnage.
Foolproof
A very watchable film about 3 young people who plan robberies they never carry out just for the fun of it. But one day one of their plans is stolen & predictably....Shame about the f words. These seem to have been inserted just to get the rating they wanted or the film could easily been a PG.

Watched Dalziel and Pascoe!

Had quite a slow day which was finished off by checking various websites and watching The Royal in which matron is attacked by a thief, everyone is surprised to discover who was responsible. I then turned onto the BBC to watch Detectives Dalziel and Pascoe in which the real stars of this latest two-part story are a pair of the most beautiful tigers. Little matter that one of them might be a murderer. The body of a well-known animal-rights activist is found in the tiger's cage of a private zoo. Looks like another good mystery for Dalziel and Pascoe to solve in North Yorkshire!

I was also dismayed to see that Administrators had not found a buyer for the Allder's group which means further job cuts, which is also not good news for all the effected people!

Hull City do not go back to the top of League 1 after a draw with Bristol City!

After listening to the match on the radio I was disappointed to see that Hull could not win at home against Bristol City. Judging by press reports both me and Peter Taylor was frustrated after Hull were held to a 1-1 draw by Bristol City after taking the lead.

The Tigers boss said: "We created more chances than them and the goal we scored came from a great move. But we didn't manage to score a second goal and to give away a disappointing goal like we did is very frustrating. That was the only disappointing aspect as there were some good performances out there and we're all looking forward to the Luton game next weekend."

It should prove to be an interesting encounter with Luton next weekend, with Hull City seeming to have lost the form they had in the run up to Christmas! So come on lads keep up the good work you did to achieve top of the league and now second behind "The Hatters"! I am also a bit disappointed to learn that Danny Allsop may be going back to Australia to play for his old club Melbourne Victory, he has not featured as much in Peter Taylor's Plans this season, whereas last season in the old division three he was one of Hull's main players!

Out in Hornsea!

Today, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness! Before making my way to the local public house to meet with friends!

Scouts!

This evening I am going to help at my local Scout Group which is normally an enjoyable experience! Having helped at Scouts for seven years!

I always find it very interesting to find out what the Scouts I have worked with do in life after they have left Scouts and tonight should be good!

Spent the evening updating my websites!

This evening was mainly spent updating my web presences at Telco, Geocities, Onetel and my MSc Internet Computing site which still seems to be live even though I completed my MSc at the beginning of December, in doing this I realised I had not completed the important task of updating my other web presences for eight months!

As I did not make it to the Gym today, I watched the Ten O'Clock News and was not surprised to see Sinn Fein admitting that it knew that the IRA was planning the £26.5m Northern Bank raid and other robberies while holding key political talks, we have seen this all before!

Robert Kilroy Silk has also launched his new political party Veritas which is not just a vehicle for the former chat show host's ego, a one-man party, created in his image. I also have to admit to watching Distant Shores whilst updating my websites, its a good enough show to listen to whilst completing other tasks!

So I had a pretty busy evening will blog again tomorrow until then goodnight!

Hull City draw away at Chesterfield, so Luton remain top of League 1 at present!

Promotion-chasing Hull were held to a draw by mid-table Chesterfield after the home side grabbed a last-gasp equaliser. Junior Lewis had looked like handing his team all three points when he scored in the 74th minute. But an own goal from Boaz Myhill levelled the scores and pegged Hull back in their quest for automatic promotion. Hull would have gone top of League One, above Luton, if they had won, making this a disappointing result for the tigers!
