Christmas and New Year

Not the most exciting break from college. I worked at the weekend but was lucky enough to get Christmas eve off. It would've been better going to work as a sat around the house doing nothing. Christmas Day I spent with the family. Me and my brother got a Playstation 3 for Christmas. I also got a few Cd's and also a Formula1 book. It was good Christmas wasn't the best as I had work to worry about the next day.
Boxing day one of my least favourite days of the year. Mainly because most people return things that they didn't want or because it was faulty. I was on the till from half ten in the morning until six o'clock. Then I had work the next day which was alright. The rest of the time I had off until the next weekend.
New Year wasn't exactly the greatest thing. Both My dad and my brother had a cold and I had a migraine so i couldn't really stay up long after 12. I went to my bed at 2 in the morning and my friend was drunk and phoned me up at 4 in the morning. I phoned the next day and he actually didn't remember doing it at all. Didn't do much on new years day either just sat about the house listening to some music.
The next few days I just spent the time on the computer and going to my bed late in the morning and getting up later in the afternoon. The weekend before returning to college was returning to work and spending both days on the tills. Overall it was an alright break but if I wasn't working it would've been a lot better but I suppose you can't have everything you want.

What a boring weekend

We may all complain about working at the weekend. I'm usually working but I was off this weekend. I thought that it was quite boring. Fair enough work is boring and you see the same staff a lot but it keeps you going and there is also something to do. All i did was sit around and do absolutely nothing. I probably should have been doing christmas shopping (haven't started yet) and get it over and done with. Well I have a new job anyway so starting that soon enough. I always want something to do at the weekend and I think working would help out a little.
Enough of the ranting. I watched Amir Khan and Graham Earl boxing and it wasn't the greatest fight. Amir Khan did thrash his opponent in 72 seconds which is fairly impressive. Then again Graham Earl should probably not even bothered and retired from boxing earlier. Thats about it for the weekend. It's back to work again for the next week.

Forget F1 2007 bring on 2008

Lets start of by saying on track it's been a great season but off track it's been ugly. The whole Mclaren and Ferrari spy saga. It went on all the way through the season with so much attention focused on it. And then Mclaren get penalised all their points taken away. Ferrari as usual have nothing done to them. Thanks to the FIA Mclaren lose both championships.
It Came to the end of the season and it still continued. This time Mclaren and Renault. Renault however were let off with it and Mclaren could be penalised again.
This surely can't go any further. If it does this will tarnish the sport. Everyone needs to let go of the 2007 season and look forward to 2008.

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.
