Sorry, but just a quick random Shill…
I am not normally one for the Billy Mays style shilleville, so I will keep it brief.
I just thought I would plug my new blog. Not to be confused with this blog, mind, which is just fine and dandy as it is, this is a new blog. Woooo.
http://ww… *ahem* http://www.gmtblog.com/ is a new blog dedicated entirely to the subject of Transport in Greater Manchester. GOSH HOW EXCITING you must be thinking. Well, yeah, but it’s a subject that I pay attention too, so, why the hell not?
Updates will be several-weekly hopefully (because people are far more interested in how the buses are running than little old me, anyway) – and will contain tidbits on everything from how bad First are to several photo’s of GMPTE head Keith Whitmoore in a bannana hammock.
Anyway, that is all. Will write funny things soon. <3
The Awesome One Year Anniversary
You’re going to be so fucking proud. Honestly.
Today is the first birthday of the greatest blog since the 10 commandments, and to celebrate, the website has been given a complete and total overhaul. It’s really swish, fantastic, on the cutting edge. It’s even web2.0….
I could spend a good day or two listing all the new stuff you can play with on here, but it’d take me forever and you probably wouldn’t read it, so instead, I’ll just share my favourite bits.
The first, and most called out for feature is the ability to leave a comment! This is supplemented by the ability to share the blog posts with all your favourite social networking things, like MyFace, Spacebook, Twater and Peabo. I guess the most exciting part of all, though, is the fact that this website now has a backend, meaning it can shit properly. It also means I can change and add to it from a web browser (read: from work) without much effort. This’ll mean much more frequent blog posts, updates etc.
And if that wasn’t enough for you….. this new site is actually finished! Yes, finished. Fitted and furnished. Complete. Wonderbar. The contact page works, the videos have been rejigged, the whole thing now works in harmony and, most important, the safety spotlight has made a glorious return along with all the other things I was supposed to re-upload one year ago.
I knew you’d be proud. I propose a toast. Here’s to another….year!
You’re kidding me, right?
I’ve written a blog title without three dots at the end. I do listen to the feedback, people.
Can you Adam n’ Eve it? YouTube finally whacked the ban stick down on my old account full of things that should not have been there, so the video section is now also useless, along with the content bit, the contact bit, and pretty much all of it. The development time on this website is becoming beyond funny, I know, but at least the blog is kept semi-updated.
The problem is, my other channel, with the HD videos on, has also now gone, as I stupidly used the same e-mail address. Aren’t I clever?
I recently did a talk to an entire school about the virtues of Health & Safety. That’s 650 kids. (Nobody else would do it, no.) Suffice to say the experience was, well, different than I was expecting. Kids have a good sense of humor, and teachers are a lot hotter than I remember. Teaching assistants are anyway. The where totally all over me and my shining high-vis and safety helmet. (….or not).It was surprisingly good fun anyway. We had a DVD projector set up and banners and stuff, it looked really professional. I think the best bit was when I asked the kids what a skip was, and one girl replied back “crisps”. – Good times.
Anyway, I totally also went to York last weekend to see Tornado, the brand-new steam locomotive, the first one built for over 40 years, and also Sir Nigel Gresley, the A4 Pacific loco. 4am rise, out of Piccadilly Station by 5am – suffice to say it was a good day, although the hangover was a little too much for some, and indeed York station now has a sort of barf-yellow tint. You can check out the photos at the usual place.
Anyway, gotta scoot’n me noot’n, or however that saying goes. I shall wite about the dying or potentially by that time dead Jade Goody soon, along with fixing the 500,000 errors and shiz.
Peace bredren.
