Is this thing on?

I've just downloaded an iPhone app called BlogWriter. Does it work? I guess we'll all find out when I press "send".

Virgin Media v Sky

2011-01-31T16:50:00.001Z

Our contract soon comes to an end with Virgin Media. Sky Atlantic is being launched and all the programmes we want to watch will be on there. It's a shame - I thought Virgin's on demand stuff was coming on leaps and bounds. It was great to start watching HBO series such as Six Feet Under and Big Love. But now they've lost it all to Sky. I have (perhaps, somewhat sadly) kept a careful eye on whether Virgin would be carrying this channel, but it is now obvious they will not. I've been weighing up the pros and cons of moving the lot over to Sky:

Virgin's pros....

1) Their broadband is quicker than the rest. Best I can get over ADSL is 3Mbps (despite what they'll have you believe), but VM gives me 10Mbps at worst.

2) TiVo is coming. Looks good, looks quick, looks far better than Sky's kit. They need the quality content though.

3) Their customer service, while not as good as once was, is far better than I have previously experienced with Sky. No need to sit in endless premium rate phone queues only to be cut off, or get nowhere (i.e. as Sky certainly used to do to you).

4) HD channels are part of the TV package I'm subscribed to with no additional HD subscription cost per month.

Sky:

1) Sky Atlantic. Sky have bought up all of the HBO content, including back catalogue series. A must have channel as far as I'm concerned.

2) Many more HD channels than VM carry, so it seems.

3) Sky's kit (speaking from previous personal experience) does not cut off the end of every recorded programme like the Virgin kit (Samsung box) does. Sky's is also more responsive in terms of EPG, menus, playback, etc. VM are working on a fix for sometime in 2011 re the recording problem. That's not good enough Virgin. We like to watch all of our programmes.

I've been joining in the debate on the "Sky Atlantic" topic on the VM forums and mulling it over. What seems peculiar is that VM sold all of their channels to Sky in an effort to avoid the whole "you can't have Sky1 situation" all over again. "It will allow us to focus more closely on our strategy of exploiting Virgin Media’s super-fast connectivity to offer our customers a range of the very best content through a highly versatile next generation entertainment application” said Neil Berkett, CEO of Virgin Media. Oh well, that sounds good, doesn't it? So who was it that failed to anticipate Sky closing all of those channels down and creating new ones that Virgin would have to start with from scratch in negotiating for? Sky seem pretty clever in that regard and VM pretty clueless.

Contrary to the "expert" commentators' opinions that "people don't just subscribe because of one channel", that's exactly what I've done. Bye bye Virgin Media TV and hello (reluctantly) Sky+HD. I'm sticking with the VM phone and BB though. Incidentally, this way works out cheaper for me per month, and I've gone up to the top phone package as well.

When we called to cancel, the woman working for Virgin Media asked us why we were electing to go to Sky. "Because you won't be carrying Virgin Atlantic", we told her. She didn't challenge that statement, despite what is obviously the stock response elsewhere: "we are always looking to add new channels......", blah, blah, blah and so on. She then attempted to tell us that the HBO programmes we wanted to watch were actually carried on the FX channel. So we asked her "when is Boardwalk Empire showing on FX then?"

"Um....."

"When is Treme showing on FX?"

"......oh, the new HBO stuff is showing on Sky Atlantic, yes."

Precisely the point isn't it? But not only that, so is most of the back catalogue. I thought that was a pretty feeble and uninformed way of trying to persuade us to stick with VM telly. Oh well.

Our new Sky installation has had it's bedding in problems, but mostly down to the engineers sub-contracted by Sky. After what turned out to be a wasted weekend thanks to a company called ABC, all now appears to be in order. I was suitably impressed with Sky's telephone customer service (when measured up to previous experience a couple of years back), although that was countered by being lied to over and over again by this ABC shower. Stick with your own engineers Sky......

The important thing to remember.....

I've been conducting trials all day. What fun for a Monday. Two went ahead this morning, which was fine because none of the defendants turned up and so it was a lot quicker without the cases being defended. This afternoon, however, all the parties turned up for trial, I wanted to get on with it, but the defence wanted an adjournment for lots of silly reasons. We both put our arguments to the bench about it and (quite unsurprising really) the bench decided to adjourn it. The magistrates wanted the witnesses in at the end so that they could "explain why the case couldn't go ahead". He bungled a lot of what he was saying, but the chairman said to the witnesses somewhere along the line: "so we very reluctantly decided to grant the adjournment". The best part about it was, he finished his little ditty by saying, "but most importantly, it wasn't our fault".

Hang on.... Who made the decision to adjourn?!

Genius

Watch to the end.

Wood pigeons

2008-07-02T08:22:00.003+01:00

I hate wood pigeons. I know we are taught to love all of God's creation, but it's bloody hard to when you've been out the night before, had a few Peronis and are woken at the crack of dawn by "hooooo, hooooo. Hoo". This is happening to me almost every morning now. What can I do? Shall I obtain a bird of prey to sort them all out? I'd probably get into trouble if I gunned them all down off the top of the chimney stacks. That probably wouldn't go down too tell at work either. Maybe this is my comeuppance for not acquiescing to the chugger's invitation on my doorstep yesterday. Just back from holiday, trying to sort some things out in the office at the top of the house. "Ding dong" goes the bell. Then "tap, tap, tap". Ooh, must be something important, I thought. Down I go, it's the gas man wanting to read the meter. He does, he goes. Back up to the office. "Ding dong". "Tap tap tap". Down I go. It's the electricity lady - she wants to read the meter. She does, she goes. Back to the office. "Ding dong". "Tap tap tap". What is it now? I don't have a water meter, so what's so frigging important now? "Hello, I'm from the RSPB. Have you ever heard of us?" On she goes about the wonderful work they do and how my neighbours are all contributing to the cause - yeah right, I seriously doubt that. I say I'm not interested and off she goes. Maybe if I had thought about it a bit better yesterday, I could have used the wood pigeons as an excuse. I could have said I hate birds, certainly these ones and I wouldn't miss them at all if they didn't happen to be around to wake me up every morning. I could have ended it by saying I'll spend what I would have donated on a big gun to shoot the fuckers out of the sky. What a nice young man I am.

The Man In Black

2008-05-31T11:58:00.006+01:00

Last night, just as we were about to watch Have I Got News For You, a trailer for the other side announced 'Johnny Cash Night' on BBC4. We've never watched anything on BBC4 (with the exception of Life on Mars). So, since we love Johnny Cash's music ("Rose of My Heart" was the music for our first dance at our wedding), we thought we'd give it a go. We had already seen "Walk the Line" with the marvellous Joaquin Phoenix as the big man, so we had some idea about his life. This documentary, however, went past the point where he married June Carter and covered his later years working with Rick Rubin. Truly a man so talented, he invented himself, and reinvented himself again and again. Astonishing also was the collaboration with Rubin - the man responsible for Def Jam Records and so influential in hip hop music - an odd combination. But just listen to the American Recordings albums. In my view, they are Johnny Cash's best work. It was touching to learn of his relationship with June Carter - rarely apart from when they first met, Cash died within four months of her death. The documentary featured Cash's version of "Hurt", and it was interesting to see his surviving family speak about the video. It really is a very sad thing to watch. Have a look for yourself on YouTube.

A discussion at work the other day reminded me about this excellent sketch.

Big Train was excellent. Anyone remember the World Staring Championship?

Use of the word 'intense'

2008-02-27T21:42:00.002Z

I don't watch too much TV if I can help it. In some pain this evening so I am in front of the box. Forgettable individuals are using various words to describe the product. Some silly cow is on the same advert grinning at the camera saying 'intense'. It's a sodding pringle. If the best way you can describe a crisp is as 'intense', you need to get a life.

Slice and dice?

2008-02-26T21:27:00.003Z

Well, I went to see the consultant yesterday and I was in there for about 45 minutes. We had a long chat, a thoroughly interesting look at my scan images and an exam. Result: 2 bulging discs and a whole lot of pain. But I already knew that. Marginal loss of endurance in my right side/leg. I didn't know that. Options? Carry on as I am or have surgery are pretty much the choices on the table. Might make it better, might stay the same or might make it worse. Great.

The news as it should be

2008-02-11T19:09:00.000Z

This is fantastic. You must read it daily to keep up to speed on what's really going on in the world instead of the watered down version you get from the BBC and the like.

A couple of my particular favourites are:

Glass of piss reaches £75 on eBay

Ebbsfleet

2008-02-01T16:34:00.000Z

I was listening to Jeremy Vine the other day on good old radio 2. They had a feature on Ebbsfleet (which for those of you who don't know is near to Northfleet/Gravesend and is home to the new international train station). Lots of houses going to be built there, gateway for the Olympics - all that sort of bollocks. Anyway, in true journo form, they sent out a reporter to ask people on the street what they thought of plans to built a massive statue to rival the Angel of the North. I cringed as I listened to the locals reply to the reporter's questions in pigeon English asking why they didn't do something for Northfleet instead and telling him that they already had a local football team. These people were the stupidest people you have ever heard. Why oh why do they send someone out to ask these twats what they think when the people who are bright enough to understand what they are talking about and would have something sensible to say are all at work or doing something meaningful with their lives instead of aimlessly wandering the streets of Northfleet?

Things that piss me off

2008-01-31T10:24:00.001Z

I've been trying to find something on Facebook where I can: 1) rant about things that piss me off to my heart's content and; 2) have it appear on my profile. The "stuff I hate" application is OK, but it isn't that permanent and doesn't allow rants past 200 characters. Well, that's just no good is it? What if something really pisses me off and I need to say, take it out on a keyboard? That's where it fails. So, here I am, back to blogger. Yay.

Oh come on...

2007-09-03T08:49:00.000+01:00

...you have to be kidding me...

September...

2007-09-01T17:47:00.001+01:00

...is here, and boy, this is the month we've been waiting for. Today (I know, it's Saturday) was my last day at work - for a month! Woo yay. I have been running about somewhat this week sorting out fairly last minute things like foreign currency, my tie, my haircut. The sods at the shop I had ordered my shoes to didn't have them delivered - "they'll be here next weekend" the retailer fella exclaimed. "We're getting married on Thursday" Amanda replied. Ah well, it's only a pair of shoes - I can pick some up. Other things still to do include buying flowers for my mum and Amanda's step mum, a little something for the best man, oh, and writing my speech.

This really isn't what I wanted to see on the news...

2007-08-20T18:06:00.000+01:00

Please, please, please, please, please do not affect where we're going on honeymoon. Fingers crossed.

Facebook

2007-08-15T20:22:00.000+01:00

Lots of my mates have been adding me to this as a friend for ages and some have told me to get on with registering on it. I took a few moments to do so yesterday and I must say, I'm quite impressed with it. I've connected with at least three people I used to go to school/uni with and am now chatting with them and that's something FriendsReunited didn't do anywhere as quickly. What's more, it's completely free. I'd give it a thumbs up if you're not on it already.

Stag Do Proper

2007-08-13T21:28:00.000+01:00

Following the practice run a week ago Friday where my colleagues forced a large amount of cocktail drinks down my throat and thankfully didn't ask our lot to seize the town centre CCTV (phew), the Stag Do Proper went ahead on Saturday and I am pleased to say, nobody tied me to any lampposts, tarred and feathered me, or handcuffed me to any roundabouts in the nude. Rather, it was a very civilised affair and I enjoyed the day immensely.

The Best Man's pub tour went down very well, the Vodka bar being my particular favourite. The meal was great too - a 'Mongolian barbeque' which was out of the ordinary despite a little resistance from the more fussy of the group.

Thanks all those involved in either carrying me around London or responsible for getting me home unscathed. Brill.

Oh, and the pics are here.

Ways to give up smoking

2007-08-06T19:48:00.001+01:00

....and from someone who knows about these things, being a successful giver-upper.

Future Mrs. S and I walked past Boots this afternoon where a poster displays:

"what's the best way to give up smoking?"

I will offer these two tips for free, but you will have to pay me if you want some more info;

1) Stop buying cigarettes.
2) Stop putting cigarettes into your mouth.

I found those to be an immensely good start.

It's been a long time

2007-08-06T19:41:00.000+01:00

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I would like to say it's because I have been far too busy doing other things that take priority over blogging - and that's true, so I will say that.

One month to go until the big day, lots to do all of a sudden following what seemed to be rather a hiatus. The enormity seems to be setting in with me now, even though it's probably not half the size of most weddings I've ever been to. Gotta do this, gotta do that, must get this, have to sort that out. Ah well, it's all towards a great day, so I'll just bear that in mind.

I had the first stag night with workmates on Friday night. Yes, I was drunk, slaughtered to be frank about it. But when someone keeps buying you cocktails, it's rude not to drink them isn't it? They carried me to the pick-up point where future Mrs. S found me. I just pray my lot don't get hold of the town centre CCTV for that night and give it to the best man. Only 4 more days left at work until the Stag Do proper. Some drying out this week methinks.....

Flooding

2007-07-22T13:53:00.000+01:00

From BBC News:

"Severn Trent Water is warning householders in the north of the Gloucestershire that water supplies could run out by early on Sunday evening because a treatment plant has been flooded".

The morning chorus

2007-07-08T14:35:00.000+01:00

We had a late night last night. We had a late night the night before that too. I didn't have a lie in yesterday because I had to get up relatively early to go out looking for suits with the best man. Amanda and I had gratifyingly polished off three bottles of red between us the night before. Needless to say, I wasn't 100% yesterday morning. After the suit searching the best man brought his new lady friend to meet us for dinner. We had a really, really good evening. The company was great and the food was immensely wonderful. Amanda managed to tick off one of her lifetime ambitions - to eat a whole lobster. Well done that girl.

So, bearing in mind what I've already said, you can quite understand that I would be looking forward to a nice lie in this morning.

Now don't get me wrong, I am partial to a bit of DIY. But not in the early hours of a Sunday morning with some sort of power saw in my back garden. Someone over the back clearly disagrees, because he was out there doing it to the detriment of my Sunday lie in. As if that wasn't enough, the wood pigeons started - the incessant "whooo whooo-hoo" increasing my state of alertness. Then, the neighbour's bit of stuff across the road decides to roar up on his noisy motorbike. He just let that tick over and gave it a few too many revs before switching it off. Together, they have managed to ruin my morning. I hate them all.

Have a look at this and you'll know exactly what I mean:

Commence manufacture

2007-07-04T21:12:00.000+01:00

Well, I'm sitting here starting the production of our wedding invitations. All designed by us and produced by us too. Woo yay. I was told off by my mum earlier for not having sent them out yet. I guess she's right. We're two months away and so I guess we should start formally inviting people or they might think we're not going ahead with it any more. Not only that, but Amanda was also told by a friend today that she had received an invitation to a wedding in October. It kind of shows us up really, because ours is in September. Oops.

Anyway, the printer is buggering about now and is seemingly ruining my good progress. Sod's law that it would happen on the Innes' one!

2007-07-04T19:08:00.000+01:00

I've just been going through my music collection making a mix CD for the annual work barbecue when I stumbled upon a rather humourous clip. It reminded me of this from when I was at Uni:

Following that, someone made this:

True, true.

Helen Dubois

2007-07-03T18:18:00.000+01:00

She keeps emailing me. I think she fancies me. She's clearly very keen on me because she's very persistent. Every day I get an email from her. I had better not tell the future Mrs Skellers because she might get rather annoyed and think I am having a cyber-fling. I'm not too clear on what Ms Dubois is trying to get at. Message reads:

"Viagra is just $1.79! Cheapest Viagra offer you can find! Highest quality at lowest prices at our shop! Order now and you'll get them worldwide! All you need to do is type this address in your browser and hit Enter key"

What have people been telling her about me?

See how they run

2007-06-28T18:32:00.000+01:00

We thoroughly enjoyed Monday evening. We took a trip to Battersea Barge to see some old friends. For lots of reasons, we've not managed to see the last couple of gigs and so it's been a long time, indeed. I speak of the Three Blind Mice, namely Alex and Lyndon. The third bloke we don't really know. We used to know the third bloke when the third bloke was Garry, but he moved on to Eastbourne. He still does gigs with Alex and I am pleased to say, we're pretty confident that Alex and Garry are providing the music at our wedding reception. We have made sure Alex has written it down - we just need to check Garry still remembers. Good news really, because that means we get to go and see them perform again in a couple of days. They are really good and will blow any sort of disco out of the water.

It was great to hear them again. They played a fair bit of new stuff - even a couple of Lyndon's new songs were quite good :-) They also played a lot of our old favourites, finishing off nicely with the classic "Ride On". Brill.

Blogging on the go

2007-06-20T21:38:00.000+01:00

Being the little geek that I am, I have spent the evening setting up a Bluetooth to wifi internet link on my phone/pda/PC which I can now wander about the house using, much like a wifi enabled laptop. Why? Well, as I said, I am a geek and also, I can now sit in front of the telly surfing and emailing on this neat toy and it won't cost me a penny. That's more than can be said for Orange GPRS which is really bloody expensive. There we are then, my first mobile post. <@:-)

Speaking part

2007-06-20T18:22:00.001+01:00

Well, day two of the exceedingly dull conference/ seminar/ workshop/ whatever-the-management-speak-people-call-it-these-days.

It didn't drag on as badly as yesterday. I had a speaking part today as somebody actually asked for my opinion, and more than once at that. Someone was sat next to me who was just as bored, so we spent some of the time trying to have fun the best we could in the circumstances. That generally involved taking the piss out of some of the other people there.

Word of the day today seemed to be "nuthink", translated as "nothing" to you and I. It was desperate to listen to the chaviest of people using that term, but devastating to hear the chap leading the conference say it.

I refrained from using the nearest piece of furniture to beat the living daylights out of everyone who annoyed me. I'm sad to report there's another day left of it, but still, at least I am away from the office. That knowledge is what stops me from losing it completely.

The bastardisation of our language

2007-06-19T20:07:00.000+01:00

I am sick and tired of people who seem intent on raping and bastardising our language. Now I know some of you might say "well, you can talk, you're diction could be better" and yes, you are right. However, I never, ever speak in pigeon English using words such as "sumfink" and "everyfink". I have unfortunately been asked to join a conference for something important that's coming in at work and there is a huge cross-section of staff from all different roles participating. All bar two or three are complete fucking know-it-alls or utter divs. So, I sat there all day today listening to these imbaciles utter crap which they know nothing about, every now and then slipping in "sumfink" and "everyfink". In true John Dorian style, I slipped into my own daydream where i leapt out of my seat shouting "stop! Shut up, shut up, shut up, you bloody fools. 'Something' has a 'g' at the end, as does 'everything', not a fucking 'k'. Learn to speak your own sodding language or do not speak at all! Oh, and stop turning the end of every fucking sentence up with that irritating inflection". Then I came back into the room. There were still hours to go before I could leave. I drifted back into a haze until the man running the seminar eventually said "OK, that's it for today" and I was out of the door like a shot. Nobody else had made it out of their seats that quickly. The poor sod in charge thought I was coming over to speak to him about one of the points they had been discussing and looked at me inquiringly. I looked back and said "see you then". I trotted down the stairs pleased to be out. My new found sanguine disposition abruptly left me as I realised I had another two more days of it starting from tomorrow. Shit.

Last hit

2007-05-31T18:24:00.001+01:00

A friend has "tagged" me. I am apparently supposed to announce 8 interesting things about myself. I'm not sure if there are eight that come under the "interesting" category. Oh well. Harder still, I am supposed to "tag" five other bloggers. I don't know any other bloggers. Well, I know Kelly, but she tagged me, and she's already been tagged, so it's pointless doing it back. So here I am, last hit.

Here goes:

1) Someone once threw a dart through my nose in a pub. It didn't really hurt, but it bled for rather a long time.

2) I have swum with Duncan Goodhew.

3) I have two slipped discs in my lower back.

4) I have an A* in art.

5) My five most played songs in iTunes at the moment are:

"Overkill" by Colin Hay
"Caring is Creepy" by The Shins
"Highwayman" by The Highwaymen
"Phantom Limb" by The Shins
"Turn On Me" by The Shins

6) The last concert I went to was Meat Loaf at Wembley Stadium (last week).

7) I have been quoted by and have had my name published in a newspaper within the last week.

8) I once won a first prize trophy in a singing competition. But that was a very, very long time ago. I still have the trophy though :-)

The Gravesend Parliament

2007-05-29T17:54:00.001+01:00

I have been wanting to post an article on this, the most fantastic of all institutions for some time. The reason I haven't of course is because I thought it best to obtain a photograph of the benches to complement my post. I have been unable to obtain such a picture thus far through fear of attack. However, today was the day I snapped and ran.

The Gravesend Parliament [GP] is where it all happens. Only on the driest of days will you find Gravesend's finest engaged in insipid discussion on the benches of the GP. Insipid it seems, but only at first, until one realises that the GP is comprised of the UK's most talented politicians. They can often be found engaged in debate on the most important of issues, such as "special brew vs meths". Each member will stand/slump with a can in hand - reminiscent of the conch shell from The Lord of the Flies. He who holds the can highest is seemingly given the floor to speak. It is an interesting marvel of our current democracy. It is a shame that I only get to see the GP in action when I have to nip across the road to get some lunch. It pains me to think that my job is so meaningless when I look at the members of the GP carrying out their most important of duties. Today sadly, there were no MGPs around - no doubt taking a well earned extended bank holiday.

There are sub-committees of the GP too. My colleague and I found a group of three MGPs (Members of the Gravesend Parliament), cans in hand at the side of the Parrock Street car park no doubt discussing issues pertaining to Highways or perhaps automotive security issues. We can only conclude that this is one of the important Tri-partite Sub-liaison Committees established by the current Prime Minister. It is interesting to see that many of the members have a keen interest in local justice and can often be found gathered at the local Magistrates' Court.

The fantastic jumping wonder hound

2007-05-29T17:49:00.001+01:00

This is a video of K&S's jumping dog. It's in 3gp format, so find something that'll play it because I can't be arsed to convert it.

Funny stuff, even funnier when you're drunk.

Bank Hols

2007-05-28T19:12:00.001+01:00

Thanks to Kelly and Steve for having us over the weekend at their nice pad by the coast. Shame about the weather of course, but we won't blame that on them. It's always nice to see them - they are great company and always lots of fun. We started with a few games of pool, followed by a lovely Thai meal. Evening ended with 'Kerplunk' a cracking game I hadn't played in years and then a dose of Scrabble. Great stuff and very civilised indeed.

We went from there to another friend's house for a party thrown just for the hell of it. Some bloke turned up who I recognised from work a long time ago. He really didn't want to leave and didn't actually go until about 3am. He was a bit weird. I'm not sure why he wanted to stay so long, since he was a mate of a mate so far as our friend was concerned and his mate left quite early on. He then apparently told Amanda about an old friend he hadn't seen in three years whom he had blown out to come to this party. Strange, because it was just us, him and Michael left for most of the evening. If you're wondering, we of course were there for so long because we had been invited to stay the night. That's my excuse anyway.

Now it's Monday and it's still raining. A dreary old day, but at the risk of sounding like an old man - at least it's good for the lawn.

Parcel Farce

2007-05-28T19:10:00.001+01:00

Upshot: I just went and picked the parcel up myself in the end. Useless bastards.

Parcelforce

2007-05-19T14:53:00.001+01:00

I know I can be a miserable bastard at times but I really have been given something to complain about this week. PARCELFORCE. What a sodding shower they are. In the past, Amanda has bought some books through Amazon, missed the delivery and arranged to pick them up from her local post office. On that occasion, they just left them outside the post office on the side of the road. Luckily, the bloke at the post office noticed and brought them in. It's rather stupid then, to expect that they would have improved in any way. I've just ordered something off t'interweb for delivery and sadly, Parcelforce are the couriers of choice for this particular site. So having paid £7.99 for next day "super fast delivery" "guaranteed within 24 hours" (their quotes, not mine), I am sitting here three days later still waiting for the bastard thing to be delivered. Customer services don't care, their phone numbers are all conveniently 0870 numbers which keep you in a queue for at least 15 minutes and are closed at weekends. I have been told by the local depot that they're backed up with deliveries they can't handle and when they don't deliver on time, they just leave it on the van overnight until it is. The bloke who's driving the van with my parcel on must have shit loads of items if he's not managed to deliver it so far. Either that or he's nicked it. Oh well, we'll wait and see what comes of this and if they give me a refund for their being so utterly useless. The doorbell just rang then and I was lifted with anticipation that it might be my parcel...........no, it was just another bloody chugger asking for money. Bollocks.

Get one. Get the Opera web browser for it too. I have posted here using it. It's fab.
