On top of the world....

I did it!!! I've walked 9.67 miles up, along and down the Malvern Hills! You can view my route by clicking on one of the Google Map images above.

As you can imagine, the views were incredible. I took loads of pictures and panoramics while I was up there, and I will hopefully post them on here in the next couple of days.

Here is a picture of myself on the Worcestershire Beacon (the tallest part of the Hills at 450 metres).... Ok, it probably wasn't the best idea to take a picture of myself with the sun in view, but it does make a rather dramatic image!!

I left home at 9.00am this morning, and finally got back at 18.30pm. I am knackered so I'm off to go and have a long soak in the bath!

The Hills Are Alive....

Well, it has taken me over six years to finally get round to doing it, but tomorrow morning I'm off to walk the length of the Malvern Hills, all on my own!! I'm not sure if I am going to be able to walk the full 13km, but I'm eager to take some panoramic shots from the highest point (1395ft above sea level) and see some gorgeous views of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloustershire.

And, in other news, what with Valentines Day just round the corner (and because I'm just a big ole' romantic at heart), I've treated Michelle to a brand new phone for her Valentines present.

Her phone is now a nice shiny (and pink) Samsung G600, and I hate to say it, but it means she has a better phone than my contract one - although, one of my contracts finish at the end of the month, meaning I'll be able to get a better one than hers!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday...

Just a quick post today to say - Happy Birthday Kieran.... 3 today!

I said it last year, so I will say it again - - You're one year closer to getting your pension!

Love Mummy and Daddy xx

'It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.....'

It is Kieran's 3rd birthday on Saturday, so foolishly I decided (as in ME - Mr I Can't Cook) would make him a cake.....

Ladies and Gentlemen... may I present..... The Cake!!!

Ok, I admit, I did have 'a little' help from Michelle, but not much!!!!!!!

Shame on you Mr Timbaland

Ok, this may be old news to some, but you may have heard of R&B and Hip Hop producer Timbaland. Well, apparently he has been ripping off some classic C64 tunes and featuring them in his music, taking ALL credit without even giving the original arranger/composer any mention. Since most kids who listen to his music were not even born when the Commodore 64 was out, none of them know this and believe Timbaland is some super cool and original producer.........

This is no joke! Don't believe me? Check this out <----- CLICK HERE

This reminds me of Kernkraft 400's Zombie Nation which was a blatant rip off from David Whitakers 'Lazy Jones' on the Commodore 64.

It also goes to show that even now, the 8-bit sounds of a 3 channel Commodore 64 (and the thousands of incredibly talented composers) are still popular as ever before.

AND, while I am on the subject of Timbaland, whats the deal with R&B (Rubbish & Bollocks), and Hip Hop????? I mean, I'd rather listen to a room of screaming babies then put up with the likes of Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, The Pussycat Dolls, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!

Right I'm off to listen to some real music - A real C64 Remix done properly, with full credit to the original composer - Matt Grey - and it's remake - Instant Remedy.

The Geek Equation

Pinched from Dan.....

Ok... ok.... I'm a geek, but I didn't think I was THAT much of a geek.

Still, I'm proud of my geekness!
