I'm going back to Retford tomorrow. I have yet another funeral to go to (why do awful things like this always come in multiples?!?) I'll be back there for just over a week, so hopefully, I'll be able to get some work done and see some mates aswell...
I also heard from Loughborough today, they've recieved my application, so, I should know if I have an interview in the next few weeks... which reminds me, I need to inform Neil that my ESRC application needs to be sent off and he need to formally let me know when he's done that.
Aside from that, pretty dull here, Finally got Catherine to watch a Bond film... We watched Dr. No and she loved it. So when we have time I'll get her watching some others... But none of those silly Pierce Brosnan ones... Except Goldeneye... lol

Well, I guess I'll be back in a week or so, I might post before then, if anything imporant happens...
Bye!!

Excerpt From BBC News Article

Mr Eisner stood down as chairman after a bruising 2004 shareholder meeting.
At that meeting, a shareholder campaign led by founder Walt Disney's nephew Roy Disney secured a sizeable minority vote - 45% - against Mr Eisner, whom they blamed for poor financial performance and a hostile bid from cable TV firm Comcast.

lol, I just bought a packet of fruity smarties and to be honest, I'm not sure why they're anything to do with smarties, they're just re-branded Tooty Fruities.

With the twist being the colours aren't matched (infact they're intentionally switched) so they can make twice as much money by selling the same stuff under two names... Mind you, they're quite nice, and you can't get big bags of Tooty Fruitys, so it's not all bad, lol.
I've also just realised after two days of hard work that I've not even been answering the question for my essay, so I have about 2,000 words to re-write :o(

Well, I'm getting into my first essay, and I must say, I think it'll be OK in the end.

I'm really not impressed with Mozilla Foundation (MoFo) at the mo. They have just confirmed they're discontinuing the Mozilla (Seamonkey) Suite just as I was considering moving to Seamonkey. Typical! lol. There is a community effort to continue the life of Mozilla Suite, but I'm not hopeful. On the positive flip of this, Mozilla is the people who were unhappy with Netscape and split off, and now they're the bigger people, so it would be nice if the same could happen for Mozilla Suite. MoFo have outlined their intentions and are offering support to those wishing to work on Seamonkey... So maybe good things will come of this... I sure hope so!!

Well, I already wrote this whole thing once. So I'm not impressed. I guess it serves me right for using the nightly firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0+) For my general usage. I think it makes me a better tester to always use it. Meh!!

Ok, so here's the news. I went to Manchester on Monday. I was up at 4:30am and on the 6:50am train to Manchester. I must have spent an hour waiting at bus/train stations before I got on the train. 4½ hours later I was in Manchester Piccadilly station, By Heck!! It's bigger than London King's Cross Station, I nearly got lost!!

Mind you, I did get lost once I got out of the station. I asked directions at the station information desk, and a guy told me to go straight down the road and turn right at the 2^nd set of traffic lights, where I would find a bus station... From my gatherings, I think he might have meant left! I spent 30mins wandering around Manchester looking for anything that might give me a hint of where I was going, until I eventually found my way back to the train station and asked for directions on how to walk to the Met Uni, since I had already tried looking for busses, lol. This was a lot easier, even though I'd been walking for an hour and a half by the time I got there, and I was still 50 minutes early!!
He let me go right up, and, having got lost again, I finally found him 10 minutes later!
The interview went well, we discussed my proposal and we talked about all it's problems so I can make a better idea of what I'm gonna do. We also somehow spent ages talking about philosophy/sociology of psychology and psychoanalysis. It was great, I've never had a discussion like that... It was really fun!!
Now, here comes the bad bit... He said there's no funding there. The ESRC doesn't recognise the unit as eligible for funding, and there's no MMU studentship money been allocated yet. So he simply told me to push my application at Loughborough. And I'm hoping that he's spoken to the guy there and said how great I am!! Fingers crossed, eh?

In other news, lol, I went out into Retford on Monday night, I'd not have been back in Norwich until 0:30am Tues, so I stayed at my mum's. There was only Wendy and Jo out, so it was a nice quiet drink, until Wenna started drinking, then it got loud. Mind you, I've not laughed like that in ages. I had a really great time, but I always do with Wenna.
However, I got worried once I got home that I'd done something wrong, I promised Wenna I'd walk her home, cos I was going a similar way anyway, but I left her at the end of the road, so as not to make her b.f jelaous. We'd been joking about her getting drunk and naked for me, and wasn't sure she'd taken it as a joke, so I had to text her to make sure, and to apologise for leaving her at the end of her road. Unfortunaltely, her b.f read the text, so now I'm in trouble... Just another example of where nothing goes wrong, I convince myself it has, and I cock everything up by trying to 'fix' the imaginary problem... Apparently therapy isn't moving me forward as fast as I had thought... I have my review with my therapist today at 2 though. So I'll see how that goes, aswell...

Note: I'm still looking for help on the CSS and stuff on here :p Thanks

Edit: Wenna just e-mailed me, we're cool :o)

Well... I'm all ready and packing for tomorrow! I'm terrified as hell... I have to be on the 6:50 train, and I have to be wide awake for my interview for 2pm... Meh! I hope he's understanding of my situation, I will be on the train for five and a half hours and most likely won't be awake long enough to do any of the necessary reading! If I mess this up, then it sorta screws everything up for Catherine aswell :oWish me luck!!

Also, if anyone can help me stop all my pictures having a nasty thick white border around them, I'd appreciate it :o) Ta.
