A great win for Leeds last night, they started the game in 4th place taking on 3rd place Watford. On the same night 2nd place Sheffield United faced league leaders Reading.

At half time things weren’t looking good, Leeds were trailing 1-0 and hopes of automatic promotion were looking doubtful. Then in the second half after a defensive error the Watford keeper ended up being sent off and a penalty awarded to Leeds. Robbie Blake equalised for Leeds to make the score 1-1.

The equaliser must have messed up the Watford players as shortly after the penalty Watford striker Darius Henderson was sent off taking his side down to 9 men. It was now up to Leeds to overpower depleted Watford and grab all 3 points. It took some time but Leeds eventually got the winner and comfortably won the game 2-1.

What a difference a couple of red cards makes! :o)

Leeds are now 9 points behind 2nd place Sheffield United with a game in hand. Sheffield United drew against Reading, shame they didn’t loose, they even saved a late penalty to keep a valuable point. Watch out Neil Warnock! We’re coming to get you!

A friend of mine sent me this funny clip of a little kid playing a maze game which scares the crap out of anyone who gets to the end of level 3.


What happens next?

The game has been doing the rounds on the net for sometime and I came across it last year. It scared me too! The clip is just priceless and far better than anything you would see on You’ve Been Framed.

If you want to scare a gullible friend, four year old sibling or an elderly relative with a heart condition then I recommend you provide them with a packet of nappies as this game is known to make the player produce shepherds pie in his or her underwear.


These must be warn before playing “The Maze”

NOTE: I cannot be held responsible if you or anyone dies after playing this game :o)

I have now finally moved into my new flat, now I know how what’s-his-name must have felt when he finished the Mona Lisa… knackered!

I was moving my things all day Friday, I never realised I had so much stuff until I had to shift it! The room is now setup with all my stuff and is looking pretty cool. I’ve got Sky+ & broadband internet installed too, both very essential for me.

I’ve got today off work to make some finishing touches to the place and sort out some other things which always come with moving homes – changing details with bank, etc. Think I need the day off to recover! Still a little tired, those people who say it is one of the most stressful things you can do are spot on.

Now I’m fully moved in expect normal, regular blogging to resume :o)

Went to PC World to buy a Belkin Wireless Bridge today. The new house I am moving into provides wireless internet but I need to connect my Xbox 360 & PC using an Ethernet cable, this bridge will allow me to do so.

Got home, set it up, following the instructions, surprise surprise it didn’t work! I noticed that there was a free phone helpline, instead of spending ages trying to solve the problem I thought I would give them a call (after all, it was free!).

After a long automated telephone system I was transferred to an Indian Call Centre. After spending 10 minutes+ giving them all kinds of details (my name, phone number, childhood hero, foot size etc) I was able to explain my problem. I needn’t have bothered!

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly reading from set text and knew nothing about computers, let alone networking. After being told clearly I had a Wireless Access Point and Wireless Bridge I kept being asked what new Wireless Network Card I had and that I should install drivers for it!

I was getting frustrated, very frustrated. By the time I was told to hard reset my ADSL Router I decided to end the phone call. I was getting nowhere and had I followed the instructions given to me my PC setup would be in a bad state.

Within 5 minutes of ending the call I had solved the problem myself. Very pleased with myself and my new network. :o)

Went to the pub this afternoon to watch the egg chasing, according to a rugby following friend of mine it is the start of The Six Nations, an important competition on the egg chasing calendar.

England were playing Wales and comfortably won, can’t remember the score (not too bothered to be honest!). I was more interested in checking the latest football scores on my mobile phone, logging in and out of Orange GPRS every few minutes to check how Leeds were doing against QPR.

My friend was not too impressed, wanting me to take an interest in the egg chasing and not the football scores he stole my phone. Probably did me a favour in the end as connecting to GPRS is not cheap, especially on pay as you go.

Anyway, Leeds won 2-0 in the end, another 3 points – all good! Here’s a mix for the game (I recorded the commentary while I was out!).

    So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?

    If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.

    However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.

    You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
