Prodrive Not In 2008 F1 thanks to Williams

Prodive boss Dave Richards




I have a major problem with Williams F1 Team. They aren't letting Prodrive race next year. They are the only team that have a problem with Prodrive. Why? Surely it is not Williams decision whether Prodive are allowed to race in 2008 are not. That is up to the FIA. Another problem is that Prodrive have scrapped their plans because of Williams. The reason they don't want them in is because it's a customer car. Doesn't that mean that Super Aguri shouldn't be in? They used an Arrows 2002 Chassis. Prodrive were going to be supplied by McLaren. That also means that Scuderia Toro Rosso shouldn't be racing either. They are using a Minardi chassis. I think that Williams are worried by Prodrive. There scared of not making it into the top 8 and hardly scoring any points throughout the 2008 season. But what is Williams real problem. We Could have 24 cars on the grid but we're still stuck at 22 thanks to the Williams team.
Williams have never had a great past. In 1996 I remember when they didn't renew Damon Hill's contract after he won the World Championship in 1996. Really how can you let a driver go after he has won the World Championship. The Guys just won and has to move to a team that can barely manange to score in the points. Damon Hill only had one good race at Arrows where he almost beat Jaques Villenuve at Hungary. Unfortunately a part on his car that cost around about 50p broke and cost him the race and he came second.
I'm a massive fab of Formula1 and would like it if there were 24 cars on the grid just to mix up the points standings.
All the information I found was on the itv f1 website http://www.itv-f1.com/.

Commonwealth Games

Glasgow Commonwealth Games

I'm not really a fan of the commonwalth games. It's not my type of thing. Anyway I won't rant on about how much I don't like it.
The Commonwealth games is a good thing for Glasgow. I remember when I was in Glasgow on holiday and seeing all these signs for the 2014 commonwelth games. Everytime I looked out the window of the car they were just everywhere. And also there were signs all over the airport.
I also listened to the radio and put on the radio when it came through. The good thing about the commonwealth games coming to Glasgow is that it will bring a lot more tourists into Scotland. Also for people who are fans of the games will get to see the athletes close up. And also it will be great for people who have a keen interest or even have a role model. It is great for Glasgow and it should be successful.

Foo Fighters Rock at AECC


Foo Fighters & Serj Tankian At AECC


One of the best gigs I have ever seen the Foo Fighters. Before they started Serj Tankian was the support act for the show. He was originally the singer for System of a Down. The only song that I knew was Empty Walls. However after hearing most of his songs from his debut album I like most of the songs he played. There was only one quiet song and that was when he played the piano. My favourite song was Praise The Lord Pass The Ammunition. I would probably think about buying his album.

I've been a fan of the Foo Fighters for about 6 years now and own all 6 albums. They started off with Let It Die from their new album. The followed up with The Pretender and that got the crowd moving. They also played Long Road to Ruin their new single and it is so much better live than the album version. They only played 5 songs from the new album which is a good thing because it meant they could play older songs. The best song had to be Stacked Actors. Before they started the Dave Grohl and Chris Shifflett (the guitarists) pulled off some amazing solos. They then played the song and it's one of their best songs. At the end of the song Taylor Hawkins (the drummer) played an amazing drum solo and it showed that he is probably one of the greatest drummers in the world. It wasn't just a rock show as they played some acoustic songs. They played Skin and Bones and also they played Nirvana B-side Marigold. They also played This Is A Call a song from the first album. Their weakest song they played was probably But Honestly from the new album. That was the only song I didn't know the words to. They played All My Life a there best known song. The whole place went crazy towards the last chorus of the song. Another great thing about the show was Dave Grohl's solo. He played the song Everlong by himself until the last chorus and the rest of the band came in to finish off the song. They also played See You which had a triangle solo and the crowd went wild. There was one problem with the show they didn't play my favourite song of the new album Erase/Replace. But then again it didn't bother me that much. The set list was far to good to let one song bother me. They finished off the gig with Best Of You.

This my favourite show by far and was much better than the Muse show that I went to last year as Matt Bellamy (Vocalist & Guitarist) didn't really interact with the crowd that well. The only thing I hope for is that Foo Fighters return to Aberdeen as I would definitely go back.

I came out the gig covered in sweat and a very sore throat. I then headed into town with my friend and went for a few drinks and headed home for a few hours sleep and ready to work the next day.

Haunted Manor 10


The Haunted Manor 10

You enter the room. Jason is very close by. You hear the loud footsteps. It keeps getting louder as he approaches the door. You look very quickly around the room. Your running out of time. You notice a knife lying on the ground. He comes right up the door and tears it down. He stands at the opposite end of the room. You look into his face. You wield the knife that you found. Jason sets the room he came out of on fire. You take a run towards him but a the very last second he evades the attcack you launched on him. You just about run into the fire he set but manage to save yourself from burning. jason launches an attack on you but you dodge it and stab him with the knife. You notice that there are a heap of zombies on the otherside.

The exits that you have a numbers 13 and number 14.
