A follow up to Adam getting his Paradise Burnout Elite Licence, we wanted to show you Adam’s Take Down style during Road Rages, watch as this 4 year old takes down 30 cars and by his standards this was a pretty poor performance as he has often taken down 30 cars with as little as 1 crash.
Adam got his Paradise Burnout Elite Licence and he is only 4 years old. Yeap my son Adam has managed to do something that many adults can’t manage and this is to get their Elite Licence in Paradise Burnout.
Here is a video we have uploaded to Youtube showing his Elite Licence.
I was checking out the MyBuzz website and I noticed that I have the 3rd most popular quiz submitted by a user, go me! If you look at the image you will see that number 3 is Disney Pixar Films Quiz made by Supercod.
Only made the quiz so could have a family quiz where Adam stood a chance of getting many of the answers correct.
This morning I make my way to get the train, short walk probably 1/4 of a mile away from my house. Was reading some mail from the accountants as I walked to catch the train, normal cheery mail, time to pay the government thousands of pounds in tax, yeah it’s coming to the end of July and the Government wants’ it’s protection money.
Anyway I arrive at the station and as I go down the stairs towards the ticket office I check my pocket for my wallet, crap left my wallet in the house no worries always have bunch of pound coins kicking about, crap £1.70 in my pocket. Oh joy have to walk back home, miss this train and come back again. As I about turn to head off, I hear Ian the ticket guy shout “Clarke, did you forget your money” I am like “yeap”, he shouts back “no bother, I will get your tickets for you, can pay me back next time” very decent of Ian as he was issuing my tickets he was like do you want to borrow a score (£20 to you people who don’t understand money slang) I said thanks but I can borrow some money off someone in the office.
Now this got me thinking, how many other places in the UK (keep in mind I live in Glasgow so not a small town) can you go to a train station having forgot your money and the ticket guy offers to pay it for you? Not many I bet, heck I doubt most people even know the name of the person issuing the tickets. How do I know his name, well basically he has been at the station about year and half he issues my ticket without me having to say where I am going, normally conversation is “how you doing”, “not bad”, “here is your ticket Clarke”, “cheers Ian” LOL yes in-depth stuff but fact he could be bothered to remember my ticket was enough for him to get a small Christmas Present last year, 2 bottles of wine in a box… Now you may be thinking hang on you gave the ticket guy a Christmas Present, that’s a bit random, well yeah it maybe accept this is someone I see and speak to every day and as he has always been nice pleasant guy I though, he deserved something.. And what do you know 6 months later I forget my train fare and he is letting me pay him back later, they do say what goes around comes around but think it’s normally if you do a bad thing, but I guess it works for good things also LOL 
Thought I would blog about it as it’s good to know decent people are kicking about, and if you get train, bus or whatever maybe you will take the time to speak to the people you meet every day.
BBC News slander my company Free UK Stuff in shockingly poor news article about spam experiment carried our by McAfee. It’s the worst kind of shoddy journalism you can imagine, if you watch the video you will be left thinking I am the worlds worst spammer, I can’t believe they can get away with badly reporting the news like this and I want any of you reading this to complain to the BBC about it. You can read my full article at my Affiliate Marketing Blog.
It’s finally here the PS3 System Update 2.40, with this update they introduce 2 new features. XMB in-game access and Trophy support.
XMB in-game access is basically the ability to use the menu features that you previously had to exit the game to access, such as read messages sent to you, change settings without exiting the game and the ability to play your own music in-game, pretty good if your bored of the same songs playing over and over.
Trophies, is a system to show players what they have achieved in-game in the form of trophies for each thing you tick off the list you start to go up a level. Basically the system allows you to record what you have done in-game and then compare what you have done with your friends. I suspect that in future this feature will be opened up to online so you can build your own little widget for your webpage/blog/social network profile showing just what trophies you have.
Just back from the Awards ceremony for Determined To Make Movies 2008, it’s basically a film making competition for the Glasgow Schools both Primary and Secondary and for the 1st time ever a Nursery School was a finalist, that Nursery School was Penilee Nursery School the one my son Adam attends.
What was even more remarkable was not only where they Finalists against Primary and Secondary Schools but they also walked away with the Highly Commended in the Documentary section, so well done everyone involved. Adam was one of the many stars from the Nursery in the film and was why we got invited a long. When it came to collecting the Awards Adam’s nursery teacher and the head teacher managed to get me to take both Adam and Aiden down to collect it, have to say it was a little bit embarrassing walking two 4 year olds down a load of stairs trying to make sure they don’t fall with hundreds of people clapping and going “aaaww they are so cute”, however when it came to the photos I positioned the both of them and then move out the way quick smart
While of course the children taking part and helping make the films are the real stars, you can’t forget about the other stars behind the scenes, Penilee Nursery (a council nursery) has excellent staff, the head teacher Janet really cares about the kids and you can see she is very passionate about her job, Morag who is Adam’s group teacher and person that put the film “Fire” together is equally as passionate about the kids and great to see when your dropping your kids off that they are in the care of decent people that want them to enjoy their time and experience lots of things before heading off to school.
Anyway here is a photo with of Adam with the Award, no doubt we will get a copy of the official photos as presented by Joyce Falconer who plays Roisin Henderson in River City on BBC1 at some point.
Following up from last months Thomas and Friends Live! On Stage, the rock and roll life style that is the modern parents life style has taken me to yet another concert, this time Playhouse Disney Live On Tour at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow.
Adam (4) and Fraser (9 months) enjoyed 60 mins of on stage Disney fun, it was everything you would expect, happy, cheesy, did I say happy, we it was! The actors playing the parts where all American’s heck even the people selling you over priced crap (see photo below) where American also, so it helped create that cheese feast that only Americans can do
The acts for the show where, Little Einsteins, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It was actually well done, having to suffer the programs on a daily basis and then seeing them for real will haunt me forever LOL however the kids loved it, well actually Fraser was pretty bored until Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stuff started as that the program he knows the best and was actually laughing during it, but of a surprise as I was expecting him to bored. Adam got up and danced at the end, they way they lay out the seats and stage allows for kids to move and dance if they like, they can even go right up close to the stage.
Was a nice day out but in true Disney fashion happiness comes with a price tag. £60 for the tickets, Fraser goes free. Program £6, Handy Manny work hat £7 but you get popcorn with it, Handy Manny tool set £17, and Handy Manny spinning thing £12 not to mention hot dogs, and drinks, all in probably around £120, however not something you do every month, oh wait it’ starting to look like going to concerts aimed at kids is what I do every month LOL
Another update before version 2.40, this system update went live in the UK today, in fact I am installing it just now so my son can play online. Just like the last update this one “improves system stability” thought they fixed that last month, oh well
I would link to an official post about the new update but no one from Sony either in the UK or USA have updated their own blogs yet, tut, tut!
Anyone else wondering who “BIBIT INTERNET PAY BGC” is paying money in to your Business account but don’t know who it is?
Wonder no more, it is WorldPay and looks like they are using a bank funds clearing company from another country to pay out any payments due to you via WorldPay. Would have been nice of them to send Merchants using the system an email and let us know. My company UK Internet Sites use two systems these days WorldPay and Protx, have to say Protx is much better system if you can get your own Merchant Services from the bank, if not WorldPay is a one stop shop however Paypal seem to be offering a better deal for all in one services when you need to take payments online.
