Power Grid

Right, don't actually know how to take this. If it used power from a natural source i.e Solar Panels, then yeah this would be pretty cool.

I reckon it also shows how reliable we are on our in-house entertainment, also the amount of electrical consumption!

Wonderul Wizard of Oz.

Ok so its been a long time since i posted anything on here to be honest, and it hasnt been through negligence or anything like that. I have just been extremely busy recently with a massive decision that my girlfriend and i have to consider.

We have decided to emigrate to Australia, we're starting the visa application very soon and we have decided to leave our flat to help build up our funds. The process could take upto about 12 months to complete so we are hoping to be over there by summer next year or just after.

I am going to be looking for work about 3 months or so before we get out there, i am going to be looking for design work only to begin with but might have to face the fact that it might not be possible and look for work when i get out there.

My girlfriend, Jaime, is a district nurse therefore has quite a sort after profession in Australia so she will have no problem in getting work i imagine. Its been a massive decision for the both to make, leaving a lot of family behind, including parents, grand parents, sisters and Nieces. Not mention all our friends, who we hope will come and visit us when they can. Also Manchester is where i have always called home and i love it here but i just feel Perth has that little bit more to offer.

Oh well, i'll still be posting my blog when i can, posting random stuff that no one reads.

Anyway, more important news! If you havent seen The Hangover, seriously, go and watch it!
Going to watch the new Transformers flick on friday too.

Welcome Home Gurkha's


This is a subject i feel really strongly about and i am extremely happy with the decision that has been made. Gurkha's have fought this country for well over 100 years. Most British citizens, especially our youth, wouldn't even know that these people exist and therefore would have no idea of what sacrifices these people have made for our freedom & safety, that everyday a lot of us take for granted.

"If there was a minutes silence for every Gurkha that lost their life during world war 2, we would have to keep silent for two weeks."

These people put their lifes on the line for the freedom of our nation, and therefore they should, no matter how long they have served, be allowed entrance and citizenship into our country, no questions asked. It should never have had to go to a vote.

If i could virtually salute, i would salute every single one of you.
Enjoy the country you have fought so well for.

Retro Vimto Cordial WW2 Style.

Absolutely love these WW2 style Vimto Cordial Bottles. I showed my Gran the pic and she can actually remember having some bottles like that. Loads of other cool stuff from the Imperial War Museum North below.

Was a really enjoyable day out and its actually free entry to the main exhibition which has an enormous amount of war relics and artifacts. Definately go if you can. Visit the website here
