Wiggy's World

That childhood geek inside me saw this on another blog, and decided that I NEED to have one

I first saw a Lego Imperial Star Destroyer at the Power House Museum during the Star Wars Magic of Myth exhibition.

Of course I immediately wanted one.

But it would take nearly two years before the dream became a reality. After much drooling over sets that went on ebay, I finally took the plunge on a buy-it-now set. I then waited the two full months for the surface mail package to arrive.

And what a package it was. According to the packing slip, 21 pounds worth of lego and cardboard. Out of the external packing box, I weighed it on an old bathroom scale, and it came to about 18 pounds.

It looks facking huuuuge!!!

Now imagine this…  Sat at home, chilling out watching 13th Warrior on telly, Amaretto and Coke in hand, when a certain mr Baguley tells me to check my notifications on facebook.  Low and behold a request to join THIS group appeared.  Turns out he’s decided that he needs someone to go on a double date with from time to time, so has taken it upon himself to try and find me a woman!  Anyone is free to go join the “WIGGY NEEDS A WOMAN” group on facebook, just to try and make me look popular ha ha!!  I have a feeling the bald gypo has something to do with it as well, AND Carla, as I’d only 5 minutes before added her to my freinds list on facebook, on the say-so of Bagi

Anyway enough about that little scrotum and his mates (love you really Bagi – in a non gay way)!  We’re in the process of sorting a night out round Lincoln for the next Bank Holiday sunday, and I thought as Newark is in the middle of the two, that I’d invite my mate Emzi and a few of her mates out with us.  The more the merrier and all that   Had a nice chat with Em, and Fee came online, and asked how things were, so I had a bit of a rant, which she said “Wasn’t like me”   Still it’s good to talk.

Over at Prison Break Buff I have managed to find some more info on the forthcoming Prison Break Season 4 wooo!! 0lly is gonna be so happy at finding this out! Turns out according to a promo video I’ve seen on that site, that Labor Day is when Season 4 Episode 1 is gonna be aired!!

After engineering an escape from the hellish Panamanian prison Sona, brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows are determined to seek justice against The Company, the shadowy group responsible for destroying their lives and killing the woman Michael loves, Dr. Sara Tancredi. During their quest for vengeance, Michael’s world is turned upside down when he learns that Sara is still alive. Realizing the only way they will truly be free, Michael and Lincoln avenge to find Sara and take down The Company. With the help of a government handler, they assemble a group of allies and familiar faces including Mahone, Sucre and Bellick to aid in their seemingly impossible task. Unfortunately for the brothers, they must also enlist T-Bag, who unknowingly possesses a vital clue to help them pull off their most difficult challenge yet. They’ll soon discover the only thing harder than breaking out is breaking in.

So I was speaking to Kirsty the other day, and she was in the process of putting her Wedding photos on Facebook, and I mentioned that I remembered me and a certain Mr Russell running round with the disposable cameras taking random photos of anything we could!   This then prompted Kirsty to say that she had wondered who’d been brain-dead enough to take photos of the urinals and pictures on the wall etc God it was soo long ago, but I can still remember bits of that night, if only the running around with a camera HAHA!

Me taking a photo of… (think you get the picture)….   Me taking a photo of something interesting

Mason finding something to photograph… I’ve seen better days!!

Kirsty looking lovely…  Kirsty and Simon (who dont half scrub up to well when needed!!)

On to other things now   Almost went crazy yesterday morning, with someone who kept appearing on my shoulder like Long John Silvers Parrot – Captain Flint – Going “You rung Craig yet” “Has he rung you back yet” HE’S ON HOLIDAY!! HE’LL RING ME BACK WHEN HE WANTS TO!!!  Anyway he did ring me back last night, and we had a joke and chat about how my holiday was 30 degrees and nothing but sun, and his so far has been pretty much rain (albeit only on the first day).  Also I’ve gotta put something bout an Adults Only School Disco at the Grosvenor Rooms or something!  Also spoke to Mr Baguley who it appears may not be training tonight after all, as he’s at a funeral, and dont know if he’d be back in time or not

hoping to hear some good news coming out of St. James’ Park anytime soon regarding some new signings or something.  All this talk of Mike Ashley wanting to sell the club seems to have alot of supporters on the edge.  Specially when it was rumoured that relatives of Osama Bin Laden were interested in buying the club! Suppose it could come in handy… 6-0 down at Old Trafford… give the sign, then terrorist attack on Man United *joking! Obviously as it’d wipe our own team out too*  Be interested also to see the clubs stance on Joey Barton.  Thought once Keegan had settled in, and got the team playing how he wanted, Joey turned out to be a decent player.  Lets hope if we keep him, he can keep his nose clean this time, as I feel it’ll be his last chance, and start turning in some cracking performances.

Found out that Newcastle are going down to Hartlepool on the 19th July for a pre-season friendly, which just so happens to be round the corner or something from Whitley Bay, which is where I’ll be for the night out for Sweeney’s birthday WHOOOOOOOO!! Might try and go along to that game haha!

More worryingly last night, I was sat on the internet, and got a sudden taste of blood in my mouth I have no idea what I’d done but headed up to the bathroom, and spat a load of blood out into the sink! Took a good 2/3 minutes before I’d cleared my mouth of any blood, via drinking some water, but it kinda freaked me out to hell

So it’s pretty fair to say I’ve not done a great deal this week at all   Monday I was too damn tired to go to the gym, but Tuesday I managed it, and we had a quick session on the back, and was home by 7. which felt quite odd.  Wednesday was a shoulders day, and had a great session, and got chatting to this lad in the gym, who I’d mentioned I was looking at selling the car.  He asked if my Red Recaro’s would drop straight into his Civic Type R, but I didnt have a clue, imagine so tho.  Once we left the gym, I realised what a TWAT I’d been!! It had gotten quite dark on the way over to the gym, so I put my lights on.  As you can imagine I’d left them on, and the battery was bloody flat GRRRR!!  Anyway luckily John and two others were walking out, so they gave me a bump start Meanwhile Scotty was looking at both my front and rear strut braces, wondering wether they too would fit on his Civic.

So Nemma sent me a link over MSN tonight, and asked if I remember the Star-Trekking song that The Firm did , and I managed to find 2 others from a similar era! She said that they played Star-Trekking during a 21st birthday party not that long back, cos it was number 1 when he was born!! JESUS That makes me and Em feel old… Wonder if they’d ever be re-released in this current “Over PC” climate.  I love the songs tho, and it really takes me back to well my youth playing these songs on my dads record player

I’ve Never Met A Nice South African!!

The Chicken Song!!

Star-Trekking!!

Holidaymaker gives ‘bill shock’ a new meaning by downloading TV show using mobile phone.

A Yes Telecom customer has been sent a £31,000 mobile phone bill after using his handset as a laptop modem to download an episode of Prison Break while on holiday in Portugal.

Iayn Dobsyn, an IT contractor from the UK, realised that using data while roaming carried a cost but expected the bill to be more like £150.

He said: “I knew i used a lot of data while abroad but not to the tune of £31,000. The figures didn’t make sense.”

Yes Telecom has agreed to reduce the charge to a more manageable £229 and has advised customers to check the small print on their contracts before travelling abroad

Well suppose I’d better write about the madcap weekend that has just passed!  I can honestly say I have not laughed so hard at one night out in a very very long time.

Things are now moving regarding the double cover for my house insurance!  Spoke to Direct Line’s customer services department, and got a form sent out, which I received on Saturday and sent on to my other insurers on Monday.  Both have said that in situations like this, as long as I’ve made no claims or anything, they seem to have an agreement to pay 50% of the money paid out by myself back to me! And working it out, it seems to be a nice little amount!   Enough to help clear a bit of my overdraft
