Scrapheap Challenge

What's the deal with scrap men. I mean seriously, they go round street to street blowing their stupid trumpet and begging for old metal. Next time they come round and ask if they can have something reply by asking how much they're willing to pay. Why just give it them? At the end of he day they're looking for metal from you. All they're going to do is trade it in for cash. Too many times I see them scrounging in my street and I think to myself "get a proper job". If ever you turn them down with an item they want make sure you bolt it down because from my experience they'll only come back and take it when your out. I had this experience with some iron gates I said they couldn't have only to come home and find them gone. In my street alone there is often times when at least 3 different scrap men come around. This is obviously a growing trade so why not ask for some money from them for your "old iron".

Pedestrians Take Note

Do pedestrians get more stupid the older they get? Today I was driving in my car when I was approaching a set of traffic lights. It was early morning and the roads were clear and in the distance I could see an older female (old git some might say) about to cross the road. She had ample to time to get across but the fustrating part was the fact that she had pressed the button and crossed and of course, by the time I got to the bottom of the road it just decided to change to red. She had been safely across the road for a good 40 secs before I was anywhere near yet she still felt she had to press the button. Why? Isn't a little common sense enough? It is really frustrating as it wastes both my time and fuel just because somebody can't exercise some sense.

Mary Bale throws cat into bin - Topcat?

Today I was trawling through the internet and watching a few Youtube videos when I found a funny story that had been highlighted here in the UK and has dominated the newspapers too. It was reported that Mary Bale threw a cat into a wheelie bin. Now I’m not in favour of animal cruelty in the slightest and although I don’t have the greatest desire for these pesky animals (Just my view), I respect the fact that they are still a living animal and this should not have happened.
 I kind of get to thinking that that I was just a stupid moment of madness and it has all been blown out of proportion. The idea that people feel they have to issue threats and abuse at the woman is totally stupid. Afterall, Topcat lived in a bin for years and didnt do him any harm. I think that sometimes we all do things in life that could be deemed stupid but to want a public execution is rather extreme.


Facebook places - My thoughts

I've had a facebook account for a good while now but after updating my iPhone version a few days ago I began to think about it's new feature and was a little worried by the "places" feature. It got me thinking that if I'm tagged or my status is shown as me being for example on holiday, then anyone who reads it knows that I'm not at home and therefore leaving my house vunerable to burglars. When facebook first came onto the scene it was new, cool and enjoyable but now I think it's slowly becoming intrusive and too personal.I mean, do I really want everyone to know where I am all the time? No I don't.

Supersize can of beef


We found this super large can of corned beef in a Asda store in Wales. Check it out compared to a standard size can. It certainly fits the bill of super size me...

Fun with Wii Fit

So tonight I decided to get out the Nintendo wii and have a little fun. I've been using the gym alot recently for general cardio work and thought I'd work on my balance and it also provides another workout without leaving the house. The flapping like a bird is quite fun as is the downhill skiing, I must admit that the cycling is good and I like the steps as you can do this exercise whilst watching a television program. One thing that I do find a little irritating is the weighing element and the bmi as it does not take into consideration the muscle to fat radio and sometimes the weight it gives back can be out as compared with a set of digital scales. On the whole though I do like my wii fit.

Cactus

My Little Cactus
So a friend of mine grew me a cactus a few weeks ago and it started out really really small but now it seems to be doing really well. So much so I thought I would share with you.

Mafia Wars on the iPhone

Feel free to add me to you mob.
So I've been playing this game on my iPhone now for just over a month and although it's just a cut down version of the popular facebook game I still find it rather fun and passes a few minutes of boredom during the day. The idea of the game is to do jobs, buy properties and build up your mob so that you can fight other players.

I found a good little trick to making your mob bigger is to check the reviews in the app store where people tend to post their codes.

My Player ID is: 0901 5752 64.







Rihanna vs Domestic Abuse

Rihanna teaming up with Eminem
After listening to Eminem`s latest genius track I couldnt help but wonder what the video was like. So I jumped on to Youtube to take a look and couldnt help notice that it was based on domestic violence and abuse. More to my surprise was the fact that Rihanna also starred in the video. To this I have to say fair play girl. Im sure it must have taken guts to be part of something that surely touched a nerve in your own personal life.

Wolverhampton Road Works

Common sight in Wolverhampton at the moment.
So as I sit here in traffic I couldn't help thinking. Why do the council choose to do all the roads at the same time? I mean, doesn't it make more sense for them to share the work throughout the year because now the roads are pure chaos. Come on councillors, stop putting extra stress and unneeded problems to your hard working citizens. But I guess making things easier and using some commons sense is too much effort...

The Start

Yes yes, I know what your thinking. Yet another mobile blog with the latest smartphones and phone related talk. Well this time your mistaken. This blog is based on it being built purely on my phone and not about the phone itself. All the photos, videos and all articles will be created from just my iphone. I got the idea when I was sitting here the other night and thinking how much I use my phone for pretty much everything so I thought why not make a blog and make it just using my phone.


So here goes...
