Met Police Inspector Garry Weddell was released on bail after allegedly murdering his wife, only to go round and shoot his mother in-law with a shot gun.
Well done Gary!
This news comes from the BBC website.
If Gary hadn’t blown his own head off with the same shot gun, I’d be buying him a beer right now. You’re my kinda guy Gazza.
Heh, I just got stopped by the police for going ‘a bit quick’ as I went into a power slide around a roundabout in Manchester. Luckily he was a dog handler and didn’t really have any of the equipment required to gage speed. It didn’t help either that my power slide was right outside the police station with this guy behind me.
Lucky eh?
According the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, the government is looking at changing the law with regards to deactivated weapons in the UK. This could affect me personally as I have a pretend M-16 Assault rifle model which was used for a film we made some year’s ago.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said here:
“I want to balance protecting the public with the rights of responsible collectors of deactivated firearms,” she said.
High-profile murders such as the shooting of 11-year-old Rhys Jones as he walked home from football practice in Liverpool last August have raised public concerns about of gun crime.
To be honest though, I’m relatively sure that Rhys Jones wasn’t shot with a deactivated gun, he was shot with one that works. This brings me back to my post about the Americans and their banning of Megatron toys.
When will common sense prevail and actual REAL guns be pin-pointed as the problem in shootings?
Surely it’s fucking obvious?
I’ve always been a PC kind of guy, especially when I’ve worked in a design agency and have been surrounded by Mac loving design nerds all claiming their Macs were infinitely better than my PC. I felt I had to defend myself, even though yes the PC and Windows in general has, shall we say, a few issues.
However I’ve also always been an ASP guy as opposed to PHP, yet have found myself recently straying down the PHP path for it’s somewhat better support and fewer security holes.
For this reason I will at least promise to look at a Mac, if only to complain and criticise at every step. In doing so I wanted to look for used macs and found this very Amazon influenced website dealing in used macs and Mac parts.
Great if you like that sort of thing. I’m new to the whole G4 lingo (thinking they were a pop band) so have to start from scratch when it comes to working out what is what in terms of Mac products. Luckily they seem to have everything catered for on the website.
The thing that did draw me in though was the video editing section. I have been trained on the PC system Avid so know what a professional video edit suite can do, yet again everyone I speak to harps on about how the Mac is better at editing videos as well. DV Warehouse has a lot of choice in this department so if I want to go down that road I won’t be stuck for options.
I’ll start small though and use a Mac laptop for a week as a test. I’ll let you know how I get on.
I don’t usually bother with this sort of thing as I’m not one to put much weight in the whole ‘New Year’ kind of festival. However, as I’ve had one of the most turbulent year’s of my life so far (getting divorced, changing job, moving 200 miles away etc) I figured I’d pledge to take control of my own destiny. I’ve compiled a list of things I aim to do in 2008, you could call them New Year’s resolutions, you could call it a hit list.
Whatever you call it, these are my aims for 2008.
So that’s it, my aims for 2008. There are some sub-aims, or specific details to some of them I don’t want to elaborate on here but I know what they are. Hopefully I can hit all of these in 2008, if I do I’ll be a very happy guy indeed.
In the interests of offending anyone who isn’t Christian I’d like to wish EVERYONE reading this a merry Christmas. If you are Christian I can offend you too by saying that Jesus doesn’t exist and this time of year is only kept alive by ITV so they can show Bond movies on TV.
Whatever you celebrate, be it Connery, Moore or even Dalton, have a happy James Bond day.
Just for the record, I’ve written this a few days in advance. I’m probably pissed right now unable to stand, so here’s to me!
This might be interesting to some people, well to one more likely. The last week I’ve had numerous visits from the City of Nantes, in France, as the Analytics screenshot below will show.

I find this odd because the person in question (as you can see by the 0% new visitors it IS one person) has recently removed me from Facebook, MSN and generally cut all contact with me, yet they seem intent on checking this site to see what I might be up to.
Well, as you can see I know you’ve been looking at the website, perhaps you’d like to get in touch? Maybe even explain why you’ve blocked all contact with me? I’m guessing you won’t, so as you don’t seem to want to speak to me again, just check up on me via this website, have a happy Christmas x.
I’ve received a nice pleasant email for a change (seriously, this doesn’t happen often) from a Nick, from Cardiff, in relation to my house.
i just wanted to say i felt really sorry about your house and the fact your locked out of it and i also wanted to say that ( in a totaly non cocky silly way im 100% with you and think your 100% right) you should watch about telling everyone on the internet the house is empty and reading out the full address online and that you work on all week days incase someone breaks into the house knowing its empty.
You seem to have enough problems and i just dont want you having another one such as a real squatter who decides to move into your house over christmas for instance hope you get it all sorted out if you dont 1 thing you can do is. Phone a locksmith ( tell him you lost the only set of keys to the house and you need him to break in so you can get in they normaly will do this as long as you have some form of id showing you live / own the address letters ect and of course pay him and get him to change the locks once inside just basicaly pretend you have been locked out of your h! ouse should be fine. then when your father in law comes round make sure you have a banner in the window saying FUCK OFF in 3 foot high letters.
Merry Christmas Nick from cardiff
Thanks for that Nick!
I do have access to my house now but I can’t do anything with it unfortunately. I was all prepared to buy it from ex-wife until she decided to get greedy, meaning it will be repossessed on January 21st. To be honest if it gets squatters I couldn’t care less. They would be entering illegally though because as I understand it they can’t break and enter, only use a house that has a window or door left open.
Though of course the way the law is in the UK I’m sure they’d have all of the rights under the sun and would be protected by social workers, legal aid and all of that fuzzy liberal bullshit designed to protect those who can’t be bothered working in this fucked up Country of ours.
I hate the UK, I really do.
Thanks for your support though Nick.
