| 7th March '98: | A funny thing happened today, I decided to 'lighten' my hair (mistake), it went white !. | |
| 8th March '98: | I got fed up with it ! Now I have a shaven head, I'll get a photo put up soon so you can have a laugh :-) | |
| 18th March '98: | I spoke to someone on a random chat thing on ICQ today, hehe, turned out to be a French bloke, he asked me for a chat but I kindly refused stating that I would rather take rectal relief from a syphilitic bear than talk to a French man. Too harsh? no, I don't think so :-) | |
| 30th March '98: | Oops, phone bill is huge !!! | |
| 3rd April '98: | Sod all to report, just bored so I thought I'd add something. | |
| 23rd April '98: | Had an operation today on my nose to remove a bone splinter that has been there for about 10 years... jeez I feel like shite! | |
| 24th April '98: | Still feeling like shite | |
| 6th May '98: | Doing ok now... blew out the most disgusting thing I have ever seen from my nose yesterday... I may frame it :) | |
| 17th May '98: | Dropped a dogs bollock today (a disaster for those outside of the uk)... I dyed my hair again!! | |
| 18th May '98: | Looks ok now... very, very blonde but it's not bad. | |
| 19th May '98: | Looking forward to camp on friday... the only time of the year I go out and get completely hammered and have a great laugh.... unfortunately there are only 2 a year. I'll let you know how it goes... | |
| 25th May '98: | Got back from camp...it was ok, not a great one though. | |
| 1st June '98: | Only 9 days to go 'til the world cup kicks off... i cant remember looking forward to anything as much before. Brazil play scotland to kick it off... I am thinking of having a fiver on scotland winning 1-0 with hendry scoring... I bet I could get good odds on that :)... the main one is on the 15th when england play tunisia... we better hammer 'em :).... the 12th should be interesting too, when saudi arabia beat denmark (eh riis;) | |
| 1st July '98 | Bollocks!!!! We crashed out of the world cup last night to Argentina on penalties... we always go out on friggin' penalties!!!... I am suicidal right now... cya in 2002 in Japan | |
| 12th July '98 | SHITE!!!! France... of all the f@$#king countries to win the bloody world friggin' cup... it has to be F@$#KING FRANCE!!!!! My life is over. | |
| 21st September '98 | Ok ok, so my life isn't quite over, in fact its about to grow... I am off to the USA today, (actually, i am writing this on the 9th of october, I got back on the 6th, I thought it best not to announce my visit before i got there in case someone decided to meet me with their mate Mr Uzi.). So, I went to america, first to dallas to catch a connecting flight (after 8 hours wait) to Reno... I hate flying. I won't go into too much detail about the trip but I can say I had a great time and met some wonderful people. | |
| 4th November '98 | Had some devastating news this morning :( My good friend, Roger, one of the best guys anyone could want to meet died last night... he was one of the brass monkeys (see photo album)... fuck... he was only 53... why oh fucking why?? :*( | |
| 11th November '98 | Buried Roger today..... can't say much more than that really. | |
| 17th November '98 | About bloody time!... I went to the hospital today to have a checkup on my back and they have FINALLY ordered a scan. I have been going for over a year now since it got bad and in that time they have taken some x-rays and told me I have (mind the spelling, i haven't a clue how to spell them)... spinabiphada, scoliosis, spondisitis(or something like that), a stress fracture, soft tissue around the discs, the gaps between the discs are too small... and my hip is pressing against my spine... for christs sake, u would think i was crippled wouldnt you? Well anyway, hopefully after the scan they can kinda narrow the field down a bit seeing how they have told me that I have just about everything that can go wrong with a back... won't stop me playing footy though :) | |
| 23rd November '98 |
I'm just catching up with yesterday, by tomorrow i'll be ready for today ;) A quick message to Lydia and Richard... get well soon, I'm thinking of you and the family. |
|
| 24th November '98 | Well... last night I sent out my web site address to everyone on my list saying its been updated, like i always do... but this time i think nearly everyone actually went... my site has finally made it to 1000 hits, thanks guys :)... but the main reason for this entry is to say thanks for all the compliments, I was inundated with them last night, they ranged from things like 'great site' to 'cute son' etc, but the one that really moved me was a simple thanks, thanks for sharing your life... that really touched me. I would really like to thank the regular visitors to my site, to those of you who are reading this right now... it's odd really, i never really thought about people reading it, it was more a self therapy thing, just something for me to turn to for some sanity... it feels strange now that I know there are so many looking in on my life... its like being seen through a screen ;) Please keep coming back, and send everyone u know too... lets see how long it takes to get to 10,000 hits ;) Well, i'm off to get some dinner, thanks again, I really appreciate the remarks you all make... don't forget to sign the guestbook before you go... even if u have signed it before and I promise to update this page more often ;) | |
| 25th November '98 | A woman just getting into her car at the bottom of my street was mowed down tonight by a hit and run driver... killed her outright... they had the police helicopter out... sometimes you wish those things had machine guns on them... that could have been me... my mother... my son... makes you think about mortality when u see, or hear of lives taken so quickly... and cheaply. | |
| 26th November '98 | Nothing really to add... just wanted to make it 4 days in a row i've added something ;) | |
| 6th December '98 | Moving house soon, can't wait to get out of this place... no.. i'm talking bollocks really, i only want to move cause where we are going to has a nice big room for those essential LAN links on quake2 ;) | |
| 24th December '98 | Christmas eve and sad git here has nothing better to do than to sit typing on this thing... Oh well, merry christmas everyone, hope u all have a bit of fun... just do me and yourself a favour though, if u or someone u know are thinking about driving, for gods sake and everyone elses, dont drink too. Have a good one, talk to u soon. | |
| 2nd January '99 | Bollocks... Had to buy a new monitor today, mine blew up, i was expecting it to go but not so soon... arses.... some things have bloody bad timing dont they?... but i had to get one, i was without one for a few days... it was like going cold turkey ;) | |
| 3rd January '99 | ill :( | |
| 6th January '99 | still ill :( ... did a load of new gfx for the site today, hope u like them... I made the first page ones alot smaller than they were before so it shouldn't take so long to load or eat up so much resources. Oh, and u can now use a non java menu on the left now... that ones for Mickey. | |
| 12th January '99 | cold... ill... but doing better than i was :) Jack started nursery today, he had a great time, we were worried that he wouldn't like being left alone but he didn't give a toss when we walked out... fickle little sod ;) | |
| 17th January '99 | Just done the new whine barrel page, boy am i going to get some stick from that, I think i have managed to offend almost everyone on earth ;) | |
| 18th January '99 | I think i managed to offend someone... just so happened to be one of my favorite people in the world. Sorry delf. :( | |
| 5th February '99 | Moving house tomorrow, packed a few things already but not much, it's going to be a long hard day... | |
| 6th February '99 | Jeez... i'm knackered... everything is here in the new house now... unpacked some stuff and the thought sod it and set the comp up so i'm chilling out for a bit now.... my back is murdering me. | |
| 8th February '99 | Still knackered... got 'till friday to get the old house all cleaned out and decorated... busy busy busy. | |
| 11th February '99 | Almost done the old house now... just this place that needs a bit of sorting out now... getting there slowly but surely... Jack loves this place, loads more room for him to run about and try to hunt the dog ;) | |
| 20th February '99 | Well, I'm shocked, 2 people had sent a message last night asking when the hell i was going to update this thing cause they are curious to whats going on around here.... nosey gits ;)... Well, to be honest, not a great deal... finally got settled in the new house, which is great i may add, loving it... erm.. what else?... err... a new series of Red Dwarf started on thursday, which is my all time favorite show, so i was pretty excited about that, and it was good too, better than the last series... up to now anyway.... Oh yes, can't believe i forgot to add this actually... Ade (a friend of mine) and I have started our own business... well, i say we, he has actually done all the work on it... i'm just the one who does all the work when we get it ;)... I'm now Technical Director... i have no idea what that does but it's going to look good on business cards ;) We are called SABR LTD... ade's idea, not mine ;).... i've been messing with logo's for it, nothing yet, but i have the general idea... plus i have to do the company web site... it'd help if i knew how to design em wouldn't it? ;) Well, thats more or less it... i promise i'll add more as it comes. tata. | |
| 28th February '99 | Oh... shit.... Can't explain. | |
| 1st March '99 | I received an e-mail from Robert Llewellyn today, he plays Kryten in Red Dwarf, he is a great guy, no, i'm not saying that just cause he contacted me, I have always been a big fan of his... check the guestbook out soon, he may just drop a note in it ;) | |
| 2nd March '99 | I think I may be shutting the diary down soon... I don't know if i can go on with it right now, there is so much i want to say but just cant... i'm in a bit of a jam... if i dont add anymore from here I would just like to say thanks to everyone, for all of your visits, all of the many compliments and just for being there for me to vent some steam at... Thanks and take care. | |
| 24th July '99 |
Well.... I'm back. It's been an... interesting few months since my last entry... to say the least. Since March 23rd I had been living in Michigan USA... i'm back in england now... thank god! I went over there on the back of several promises and a dream... but was very disappointed to find out it was all bollocks... sort of reaffirmed my views about americans... all they care about is money... sod all else... as long as they have money nothing else matters, no feelings count. Its just great to be back home with people who care about me and who i care about... Things are starting to look up again now, so i'm just trying to put the last few months behind me and get on with my life... and forget about all the shite. I'll be carrying on with the diary now... so stay tuned :) ...oh, and the site will be moving before too long, so i'll let u all know where when i switch. Oh, and I have a couple of new pages planned... the happy hour page, which is sort of an anti whine barrel... and Dr. Lee's agony aunt page... that should be a laugh ;) Thanks to everyone who has stayed in touch and gave me their support... special thanks to Jabberjaws, Jenny, Jo, Angela, Liz, Anna...and of course my mum and Anj...couldnt have made it without you guys :) |
|
| 18th August '99 |
Well here it is folks... the new web address... a few new looks too, not as many as what are coming in the near future though... i'm planning on redesigning the whole thing with Flash... which means it'll look spankin' gorgeous ;) Nothing much else to tell... oh, except it's camp in a couple of weeks... can't wait for that... have to make up for missing the one in May cause i was in *spit* america.... kinda dreading it too though, it'll be the first one i've been too since Roger died. I'll let you know how it goes :) |
|
| 19th August '99 |
Did some more stuff the site today... the photo album is up and running again now... done it in thumbnails so u can pic what u want to look at... easier that way and quicker. Sod all else to report... over and out... oh... except that (can't belive I forgot to mention (gloat) this... I've now got completely FREE internet calls... woohooooo!!! well ok, it's after 6pm mon to fri and all weekend... and its slow as hell and takes half hour to log on sometimes and kicks you after 2 hours... but hey.. it's FREE!!! no more £300 phone bills ;) Oh shite yeah... had my bike nicked too... arse! |
|
| 20th August '99 |
I've taken the Diablo page down today... it's an old game that I don't even own anymore... so... it's gone. I still have all the files for it so if anyone does actually want some info that was on there then mail me and i'll send it... I just didn't see the point of keeping that page up anymore... sorry to anyone who actually gave a toss ;) Well... the other day i formatted my drive and reinstalled everything... except dopey git here forgot to backup icq... so i've had to start adding everyone again... But... after uploading the new pages last night I sent out the URL to everyone who was on my list again... and got a great response, thanks everyone :) ... just keep em coming ;) |
|
| 14th September '99 |
OK sorry, havent been updating this as much as i said i would, so here it is, after constant nagging ;) Went to camp... what a blinder it was, I went with the notion that i had to make up for may too (cause i was in hell at the time and couldnt make it)... Anyway... this was the first camp i have been to since Roger died... felt kinda weird and a few people mentioned it and I got a little upset.... but other thatn that it was ok. Nick, one of the old lot, came up, me, hime and jody havent been together for near on 6 years so again, we had alot to make up ;) ... The friday night was probably the worst for me, I was hammered beyond recognition, far too much tequilla... but hey, its camp... and i actually got up in the morning!! The only bad thing about the whole camp was our corner being overrun by gits... our corner has always been ours... just a few of us but now its turned to crap... fell out with a so called friend over it, he was lucky to walk away that weekend. Oh... then the brass monkey's were reformed, with guest member Yoda (eddy)... we did a couple of songs based on star wars... had a laugh.... especially getting eddy's ears on!! ;) ok.. what else? hmm... got a new guitar.... it's Roger's old one that he had off jody... pretty nice one too.... I think thats about it... cant think of much else although someone is bound to say i've forgotten something ;p oh and sorry about the guestbook, i'll get it sorted soon. |
|
| 29th September '99 | Well, not much to tell really... went up to Jacks club on saturday night, had a good laugh... eddy is well chuffed cause he beat me in the quickdraw final... told u i was charitable ;) ... errm... not much else to tell really... everything has been a bit quiet lately... i'll some when something happens :) | |
| 10th October '99 |
thought i'd check in... not mentioned owt for a while... hello everyone... so... whats been going on?... erm, been down london... got a contract downt here so looks like i'll be to and fro for a while... got a mobile phone at last too ;) |
|
| 28th October '99 | Got my new PC today... well, the bits for it anyway... got it all together then realised i'd lent Ade my win98... so... have to wait till tomorrow now... | |
| 29th October '99 | Well, there we go... all together and with windows... | |
| 30th October '99 | Just thought i'd pop on and gloat about my new PIII ;) | |
| 14th November '99 |
Knackered... went round to ades last night to watch the lewis-hollyfield fight... didnt get to bed till 8:45 this morning (after a few games on footy... where i lost a bet and have to wear a man utd shirt (mind you, there was nothing said that i have to have it showing ;) ) when we go to the pub next)... lewis won... I lost... but I have a PIII so i'm not bothered ;) oh and err... having another baby, due may. |
|
| 29th November '99 | mmmm got a new video card today... 3dfx voodoo 3 3500tv... having to tie the comp down now its so fast ;) | |
| 30th November '99 | woohoo... i can watch videos and tv on my comp now... red dwarf never looked so good ;) | |
| 4th December '99 | Ill! :( | |
| 6th December '99 | still frikkin ill!! | |
| 25th December '99 | Merry Chrismas everyone... hope its more fun than mine ;) Although... a chelsea shirt helps ;) | |
| 1st January 1900 | <== Well... thats about all the friggin millennium bug managed!!! Happy new year anyway... | |
| 24th January 2000 |
Yeah yeah ok ok... so i've been neglecting the site a bit... stop whining!! i've had a lot on lately... should be ok to update it more often now though. Actually... not a great deal has happened anyway so there wasnt much point was there? ;p oh... new e-mail now by the way, its xusia@u.genie.co.uk oh... and the site is now split between 2 servers... why? cause it gives me 45 meg to play with plus the original (darknet) only let me upload if i was connected to their isp.. which is daft seeing how i get free calls from another, but this new one i can upload from any... the address for the site hasn't changed, but all the pages that i need to update on a regular basis will now switch to the new one... make sense? thought so ;) |
|
| 30th March 2000 |
hmmm... ok ok ok so i haven't done much... didn't have any web publishing software installed so thats why... ...ok... so i just couldn't be arsed... sue me... Well... whats been going on?... erm... sod all really... chelsea are through to the quarter finals of the European Champions league... but now we have barcelona... should be a tough one. What else?... Jack can sing bob the builder at 410 decabels... and i have found i can insert 3 cubic feet of cotton wool in one ear. Mothers day soon... may give jack to her ;) I promise i'll try and keep it updated a bit... as long as u all promise to stop bloody nagging ;p cya soon |
|
| 17th April 2000 |
Well, re-installed everything on my pc again so i can start updating again... hmm.. looking forward to tomorrow, chelsea take on barcelona in the second leg of the chapions league... we have a 3-1 lead from the first leg so lets hope they can hold on to it. Been doing alright in the shoots lately, came first in the west yorkshire league last month and second in the all england qualifiers yesterday... almost got first again.... missed it by 11 hundreths of a second... oh well, at least i've qualified. Been practicing guitar quite a bit lately too... about time really... almost got the intro to nothing else matters down now... just a bit more practice on that one... got to let this blister go down first though ;) Oh, i mentioned ages ago that i was going to redesign the whole site using flash... well, i've been on it... it's sort of coming together, but it will take a while yet, i'll hopefully have that done by next year. Anj is about ready to pop by the looks of her, she looks like someone has inserted a football into her... i'm innocent, honest ;) The birth date is supposed to be 25th of may but that looks unlikely looking at her, she was never this big with jack... i hope she has it soon anyway, cause camp is on the 26th of may ;) |
|
| 18th April 2000 | BOLLOCKS!!!! Chelsea lost :((((((( | |
| 19th April 2000 |
Still pissed off... but hey, 3 diary entries on the trot ;) Mick came round last night, which took my mind off the footy for a bit at least... and what did we do?... play the latest level on unreal tournament? have a blast at one of the latest driving sims?... no... bloody quake... not even quake 2 or 3... bloody quake one... mind you, at least it wasn't another amiga emulator night eh? ;) (this is me being griped over the fact that i've got a dogs bollocks pc with all the trimmings, including a 3dfx voodoo 3500tv... and still playing 5 year old games... or 12 years old where the amiga is concerned... bugger) Anyone out there want to donate a new cd writer by the way? mines about shagged :( |
|

Anj went into labour at about 2am and popped it out at 5:14... hardly worth getting up for i thought ;) Mother and baby are both doing great:) ... oh, he'll be called Sam by the way :) just a shame he wasn't here to see chelsea win the last FA cup at wembley... but there u go ;) | |
| 7th June 2000 |
Hi all... everything's well... sam's doing great... went to camp.... didnt stay all weekend though cause of the bambino... but it was fun :) If u hadn't already noticed I now have my own domain name... if u didnt know change your url to this site to www.xusia.net cya after euro 2000 folks ;) |

|

camp was great.. had a good laugh... got fairly intoxicated. sorry about no entries lately... u know me... too idle... but i'm really ill now which means i'm bored... so i usually do something on here when i'm like this... so... whats gone off lately... hmm... well, to be honest, not a bloody lot... been doing ok in the shooting lately for some reason... got another 2nd in the all england qualifiers... that was the last one, so i've qualified, finals are in november... and somehow, no idea how, managed to win the all yorkshire shoot... which was nice. still bloody 2nd in the year shoot though... 11 points behind i think... well, family is doing well, sam is a right chunk of a baby now... a right tubber ;) ... Jack has started full time at school, he loves it (changes with time ;) )... he looks dead cute in his uniform ;) Pics... err... i WILL get some up soon, i promise... i just have trouble motivating myself to scan em... tell u what, all of u lot who are whining about the lack of new pics... buy me a nice digital camera and i'll put tons up ;p Right... i'm gonna get off and wallow in self pity... i really do feel bad though, honest... cya soon :) |
|
| 1st Febuary 2001 |
Erm... contrary to popular belief... i'm not dead... honest i'm not... just... erm... dead idle ;) k, whats been happening? errrm... sams coming on great now, blah blahing all the time and wizzing round in his walker... erm, jack's doing well too, keeps asking when he's going to london to watch chelsea play (my plan is starting to work;) ). I won the all england championship in shooting... which was nice... and the gunfighter of the year, both sections... which was nice too ;) ... been doing loads of work with guns and accessories, been making handles, holsters, belts etc, thats half the reason i havent updated since september... the other half is diablo 2... knew i shouldnt have bought it. Hmm... what else?... erm... had a fairly quiet christmas and new year... which suited me nicely... Oh... added a new page, "the abyss"... u get to write in with something that u hate and think should be thrown into the abyss, but... u have to have a reasoned arguement to why it should be... similar sort of thing to room 101 on telly... but here, u get your say ;) well thats about all i can think of for now... i'll try and update a little more regularly now... honest ;) oh... let me know what u think to all the changes to the site eh... took ages to bloody do ;p |
|

Oh... and shaved my head. |
|
| 12th March 2001 | My sis went on her hols the other day... me and my ma were looking after hildy, her 12 year old english bull terrier... who has just died in my arms bless her, had a good innings mind, they don't usually live to an old age... we'll all miss her though. | |
| 17th April 2001 | Well... old now, turned 29 last week. I'd have updated this pile sooner... but my shitty servers ftp went down... but seems ok again now. | |
| 27th February 2002 | Hmm, had a bit of a lay off with the old site, was just me being idle, honest, it was more to do with the hosting i had, i could only upload stuff to it if i was connected by modem to their server, which was kinda hard to do since i switched to cable modem. Anyway, now I've got a nice new hosting and domain, curtesy of Jody at www.terabytecomputers.co.uk so thanks alot to him, go pay him a visit when u get chance. So, the new addy is now www.xusia.co.uk. Well... what's new?... erm, started a new band, doing C&W music, quite a good laugh. I'll fill in a few more things when i think of em ;) | |
| 13th Jan 2004 | no... not dead | |
| 13th Jan 2004 |

Jack's now 8, Sam's 3... (looks up)... not got that guitar anymore... and don't play fuckin c&w anymore either!!... play in a new band now called the dead chevettes (will get some mp3's up soon i reckon), got me old mate Joo on bass... he's a pleasure to have about for me, reminds me that i'm not all that mad after all ;) .... we play punk/rock (ish) now... n have a right old larf. Finally got my dream guitar (Gibson Les Paul) last year and a few weeks ago my dream amp (Marshall Stack) too... so all i need to do now is learn how to play ;) erm... chelsea... they're rich now n have bought some of the best players in world... ...and still in 3rd ;) but... we'll get there... .... i think ;) it's amazing actually... ...how few events there's been in 2 years that's worth bothering talking about.... so, ya ain't missed much. Well, now i've at least made the effort i'll try n get a bit more done here n there, get it back up to it's former glory one day eh ... ...oh by the way, there's an active guestbook now so don't be idle n go n sign it, make me look all popular n all that eh ;p tata peeps, catch ya soon. |
