I get plenty of invitations to add a variety of applications onto my Facebook profile, most which I ignore. However, Pav convinced me to add PetrolHead several months ago. I have not used to much really and have only carried out one upgrade. Pav on the other hand has just smashed a new record to smithereens and been given access to the lucrative fantasy garage. I will let the screen shot sent to me on Tuesday morning tell the rest of the tale.

Quite a busy weekend but unfortunately the first aspect has already crashed and burned by the roadside. I was scheduled in for my detail with Pav and planning to drop my car off in Emmer Green straight after work. However, on MSN this morning we decided to postpone until later in April. The weather was not looking good and even though Pav is a superhero, even he would have found it hard to give the car a good seeing to in the rain, particularly as the interior will need plenty of attention. Never mind, my drive of the Rover will just have to wait for a few more weeks. Let that not bring down the curtain on my weekend, it is just a small minor setback and with the British weather it is something I have come to expect, although in January when I booked the car in. Not really sure what tomorrow night has in store, I may pop into town briefly but the rest of the day will be spent at home. I may be going out in London in the evening but am unsure and am quite tempted to just spend the night in, particularly as my Sunday is action packed. Two people will be on the floor with laughter as they read this. Charlie and Chris, yes you know who you are! I have taken the step and joined the gym and my induction is on Sunday morning with my colleague. It should be interesting to say the least. However, I feel after the fitness course I attended last summer (organised by Chris) I am ready to make the long term commitment and life change. What do I do in the hour or so “window” when I get home from work? Not much really, bomb around online, watch Simpsons and Hollyoaks (two episodes back to back in fact). Well for three nights in the week, I will be heading directly to the gym from work and trying to get fit. I will also try and fit in the odd session at the weekend as well but I really have an opportunity to feel better. Well that is all the ‘sales patter’, we will have to see how the reality matches up to my deluded expectations! Richard Bacon featured an interesting discussion on his Five Live radio show on Bank Holiday Monday. The topic? Internet Addiction. Now, you all know that I am addicted to the web and freely admit this (and have done so for years). Therefore the subject was somewhere close to my heart and I listen intently. The IAT was mentioned, so I headed over and took this Internet Addiction Test. I expected to get a high score but some of the questions were a bit over the top in my opinion. I got a score of 49 with feedback comment, “You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.” I always saw myself as above average. I do not have a problem but find it hard to look back to a day I have not been online (broadband isp switchover downtime aside). However, I believe there will never be a time for me to logon to the Centre for Internet Recovery. I would rather not discuss football, everything has already been said from every possible angle on various other blogs. No need for me to waste precious web space. Nothing really left for me to do but wish you all a great weekend. I am now off to watch the pilot episode of Chuck. You know I may like it and Pav may have wasted a whole morning downloading the thirteen episodes for me. Time will tell. The good news is that Terry has come out on top with the most recent wrestle match with Pav’s FTP site. How long it will continue to obey is anyone’s guess!
