Oblivion + Best Friend = Tears

A couple of days ago I went to my best friend's house and took my 360 and games with me, all was well. Last night he phoned me, with the heartstopping words, "Uh, Gerry...is there something wrong with your Oblivion?"On replying that, no, there isn't, he explained to me that it now refuses to load past 1/5th before giving a DDE but that the disc is in mint condition and clean. I don't know what happened, but I am very sad!

Apparently the batch I bought it from was a little on the dodgy side, but my disc was fine until now.

Ah well, it'll have to be Morrowind again, because I'm not forking out another 50 notes, no Sirree Bob.

Everyone loves viruses

Decided to go out on Friday, despite feeling a little under the weather, or, to put it another way;
























The venue was ABC on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, the mood was grim (it was a female friend's birthday, imagine). My back ached the whole night because inconsiderate females wouldn't give up their chairs to the fat(ish) guy!

On Saturday morning my "Ill, sick" feeling turns out to be some kind of actual virus and has floored me for the remainder of this lovely weekend, forcing me to call in sick for work today, boo hoo!

I'm going to buy into the hype that it's bird flu, there were plenty of fit birds at ABC, and also quite a few "sick" ones, lolf!

It's actually quite boring from an outside perspective, but ABC was pretty braw, there was some kind of rampart and turret tower leading up to one of the bars which, after drinking an extra couple of pints, my mate and I would probably have stormed quite successfully.

I got photos on my phone, which are crap, and my mate fancies my other mate, which is hilarious.

This is it, then.

My first real foray into the world of "blogging".

Do I have anything interesting to say? Probably not, you'll have to decide on that.

Are I a good righter? I do'nt no, r u?

My specialist subject shall be my own personal life and opinions, yawn! Follow my adventures and escapades, or lack thereof!
