Pay day at last.  It's been a tough week, so I'm gonna try and do nothing all weekend lol.  Some how, good old Mr Clixby was tricked in to adding some profile stuff to our work website.   I've bought Race Driver Grid for the 360 so I think its about time to get some achievement points!

27th May 2008

Ok, so I haven't made a post for a month, I've been pretty busy.  I'm going to be a dad!  The baby is due on 2nd December, the day after my birthday!  We've all been busy and excited, and getting on with all sorts.... :)

23rd April 2008

Finally!  I've got a wireless ADSL router that works in the UK with XBox Live with multiple Xbox 360's and allows all 3 to have a NAT status of OPEN!  Its a D-Link DSL-2640B.  Its also a total bargin!  I got mine for under £40.  I'd read a review of it here, and read up a bit more about it.  It really was as easy as plugging it in, running the ADSL wizzard, and then running the wireless wizzard.  No port forwarding, nothing :)  And our 3 Xboxes all now have OPEN NAT.  I can sleep easy again.  Clixby is back on the hunt for some easy 360 achievement points!

Superb weekend, Dymo had his wedding.  There are some great picture here on www.tony.clixby.com but the link directly to the wedding pictures is here.  He's going to have to start charging more since winning 'Digital Photographer of the year 2008'.  Think my favourite pic is this one, it's not often we get one of all the boys together.

One for the ladies (NOT), one for crimewatch more like!  There was an awesome band on in the evening called 'The Groovy Wonderband' if you get chance to go an see them do!  It certainly worked for Mitch, never has a grown man danced like he danced that night.

5th April 2008

Done!  I hope I don't have to board an attic again in the near future now, certainly wont be moving house for a while now lol.  Lots of space up there now, and we wont have to balance along the beams anymore to get suitcases, Xmas trees etc.  Went out for something to eat with Maria and Laura Ando, on the way back bought an air pump for my aquarium to put as much air in to it as possible, looks nice to, with all the bubbles rising up.

4th April 2008

Thought I'd give myself the day off from the attic today, I'm aching all over.  Downloaded some new maps for Call Of Duty 4 for the XBox, look great, it's double xp points this weekend, so I'll have to work on getting promoted.  Clixby needs to improve that gamerscore!

3rd April 2008

Slowly getting somewhere, I've done over half of the attic now, but I did have the day off work.  I can actually see just how big it's going to be now.  Worth the effort I think (just).  Moved and organised some stuff on one half of it now.

2nd April 2008

This attic might be the end of me.  It took 3 hours tonight just to cut and fit 3 big pieces of board.  Its just he dragging them upstairs bit that's hard, these pieces are 1.6m x 1.2m and weight as much as me I sure (!?).

1st April 2008

Got some wood to begin boarding out our attic, its going to take longer than I thought, it took me all evening just to clear enough space up the to be able to even measure up.  Ah well, should be worth the effort once it has been done, there's more space up there than we think, just needs organising...

24th March 2008

Finished Army Of Two on the 360 today, full of cold so didn't have much energy to do anything else.  Once I'd finished it, I had to go back and get as many achievement points as I could of course!  I'm up to 500 but there are certainly more to be had.  Big tip - Go back and replay 'China' until you get bored.  Press 'X' to skip the cut scene.  Kill a few guys, blow up the bridge, collect $30,000, kill a few more, checkpoint.  Restart China again.  Easiest money ever.  Why would you do that I hear you ask?  Because there is achievement of course, earning $1,000,000.00.

23rd March 2008

Full of Cold.  Played a bit of Army of Two.

22nd March 2008

Didn't do much again, I could get used to this.  Sam had a party to go to, he went to the Soccer Dome.  He really enjoyed it, I suspect he might just want his party there in July lol.

Messed about on my 360, ranked up a couple of times on Call Of Duty, but otherwise, 

21st March 2008

Didn't do much at all today, full of cold, going out last night without a jacket is not big or clever.  Enjoyed the day off though, nice not to be in work :)

20th March 2008

Finished today (Thursday) for a long weekend as it's Easter, nice.  Went out after work for Natalie's leaving do, she's of to work for the council.  We went to the Oxton Bar and Terrance, it was good, haven't been there before.  Quite a few people went, employees past and present, not as many as I thought there would be though.  Maria thought it would be a great idea to go to the Tavern (After a few too many of course!) but forgot it was Thursday!  Ooooops, it wasn't open.  So we ended up going to The Players Lounge in New Brighton, won't be going there again lol.  So went next door to Darcey's.  Was better, but was also Karaoke night, so quickly left.  It was about 1am and after the busy week we'd had, I think we were both shattered.

19th March 2008

Besides a busy day at Heatons, I managed to finish in time to make it to the Echo Area in Liverpool for a basketball game.  Believe me, I have never seen basketball (Cheerleaders) like that before! It was awesome, I think they were called Cody's Cats.  I tell a lie, I know they were called Cody's Cats, I googled it, hey I also joined their group on facebook!  All I've got to do now is convince Laura Ando from work that it's her calling in life!  Oh yeah, the basketball was ok to.

18th March 2008

Here goes nothing, I'm finally going to get some stuff on this site.  It will take a while to build up but hey.

Its been a busy weekend, with Dymo's stag do.  Went to Wales, UK.  We organised it all through Mountain Mayhem and it was awesome.  Few bruises, falling off a quad bike isn't the smartest thing to do, but as the great man once said:

"Bones heal, and chicks dig scars" - Bart Simpson 1991

There were some quality pictures taken, I'll try and pull them from facebook and get them on here.

Dymo somehow survived being "The only gay in the village", in the middle of Wales, don't think we would have survived if Wales hadn't won the 6 Nations this year!

My biggest laugh of the weekend was Dave Minnis.  Shouting out after getting 3 shots in a row during his clay pigeon shooting "My UAV is online", sadly, another XBox related Joke...

Anyway, that's it for a start, I've got an aquarium to clean and a date will 'Call Of Duty 4', Team [LAME] have got to start winning some games else we will be putting ourselves to further shame, if that is imaginable.
