Cardiff City Football players

I had a great morning on Saturday 28th November. Why you might ask? Well I was lucky enoughto be allowed to the CCFC training ground to have my picture taken with some of the players who are supporting the Movember Charity. They were so nice even though I was like a star struck teenager!!
They were kind enough to sign one of my shirts which I will be auctioning off for Movember.
Here's a picture to prove I was there. I'm the dorky looking one in the middle!!

Begs the question....WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING CLOSE ENOUGH TO IRANIAN WATERS TO BE TAKEN????

I'm no yachty type person and have no idea about international waters and boundaries but I do no that I'd be far enough away from their waters so as to avoid bumping into any of their navy.

Race or no race, go the long way round!

Video Game Nerds

No, that's an insult to nerds. This post is about those twats that think having the most expensive graphics card with the most numbers after it with the biggest RAM on it is what makes a great gaming PC.
I had to build my PC on a budget. Got a dual core processor. Got an 8400GS. The card isn't actually too bad. However the amount of people who think they know all about PC's go on as if it is an etch-a-sketch (thanks to some work colleagues for that one!!). They go on about their £500, latest top of the range cards and how they can play Crysis at top settings and get 2,000,000 FPS......get a life! You do know that monitors refresh at 60FPS don't you? Knobs.
I have been searching for help on getting TF2 settings help. I was having major problems. I was despondent. My system should have worked according to Steam. I was starting to believe the uneducated Forum pricks. Then I discovered, from the proper Video Game Geeks, the educated ones who know what is best, the ones with knowledge, the ones who realise you can't always buy the latest from Nvidia, that TF2, and many other shooter games, are CPU dependent. You can run a lot of Valve games on old cards, so long as you have a half decent CPU.
So I re-looked at my PC. What could it be? HEAT! It's all about the temperature. So I re-applied some silver stuff on my CPU and reversed one of the fans on my case (yes they were all blowing in!) and viola it all worked at almost top settings on TF2. I cannot describe how happy I am!
So, to summarise, ignore the majority of the twats on forums and listen to the proper players, not the spawn camping fuckers who have their mums bring them dinner on a tray to their black bedrooms as they crack one off looking at some goblin woman on their second monitor.

If you're getting loads of stuttering or low FPS on HL2 engine games it may be a heating issue in the case. Try it. Swap a fan around. Vacum all the dust out. Try anything. But give it a go before you feel the need to have to upgrade.

Aside from this part of the interview, when he dresses down a journalist, his comments about the 'Hand of Henry' incident were spot on. As he said he'd have been having a go at his players for not heading the ball, for his keeper not claiming it, for the chances they missed at home etc., etc., etc..

Stop blaming one instance for non-qualification.

Bring in video referees for the love of God! Take the humans out of it and have cameras everywhere. They're only human and that's the problem.

Fog lights.........

....THEY ARE FOR THE FOG!!!! For the love of God it's not difficult. If it's not foggy then DON'T TURN THE FUCKING THINGS ON! Front fog lights on and main lights not does not make you cool or make your penis any bigger. It makes you a cock and I believe it's illegal.
Don't any of you remember the stupid infomercial with the guy from the Confessions films? No fog lights on in the rain?

World Cup 2010 continued....

So, panic set in when the possibility that some of the big teams may have to enter the play offs to get to the World Cup and that they may have to play each other.

FIFA bottled it basically. They fear the 'big' Nations missing out. I bet they are getting a right earful from a certain Russian Billionaire ;-)

Why they don't introduce a rugby style World Cup system I don't know. Top so many nations in the rankings from each continent automatically qualify and the rest scrap it out. It means that there could be less total matches and more diverse match ups. Get rid of the Germany 11-0 Litchenstein games. More evenly matched games so that lesser nations (and I include the Mighty Wales in that) can develop rather than getting slaughtered. It makes sense.

I could go on for hours about this but I won't bore you with my views. Add yours!

FIFA World Cup 2010 Report

Well what a tournament! Brazil beating France 6-5 in a thrilling final! And what a shock when Christino Ronaldo was brought on by France with 60 minutes to go, utilising the Platini Wild Card Sub ruling allowing a designated FIFA Superstar to be brought on. And when Lionel Messi was brought on by Brazil to score the winning goal from a free kick awarded to them because of the Blatter TV Dive Foul Rule deep into FIFA Favourite Team Must Win Time, it was amazing!
The 3rd and 4th Play off game was played in Dubai, as agreed with the Sky TV deal, between Argentina and [AN AFRICAN NATION]. Much to the surprise of England and Slovenia who were the losing Semi-Finalists. In a statement, Sepp Blatter said that "who cares who deserves to be there we want the big nations in the big games. It cost us a lot of money and effort to ensure Brazil and France got through. Referees, players and coaches come to quite a cost".

Let's be honest it's going that way though isn't it? Amazing how there were no seedings for the World Cup play offs until france, Portugal and possibly Germany were going into them.......I'll continue this later as my daughter wants to play Sims 3!!! Anyone want to donate a laptop to the ranting Blog cause????

3 Readers!!!

3 people have now read my blog!!!! Granted one of them is someone at work who I told to read it and one is my brother but who cares!! I think the 3rd one might even be someone who I commented about! (Keep reading MG if it is you and feel free to comment!)
Sorry Stew for making you read the charity stuff. It's the only charity stuff I do so bear with me.

Tell your friends (so long as they don't get offended!)

Welsh Football

We won yesterday!!! Beat those dams Scots 3-0. But our manager John Toshack, had a right old moan before the match. "All our best players don't want to play for us". "How can we compete if we haven't got our best players?". "Our big stadium is too big".
Now when Big John was appointed manager I though it was a bad appointment. I've never forgiven them for sacking Terry Yorath when they did and I didn't have a very high opinion of Toshack. However he's done a good job overall and seems to have the right idea going forward but I think he's got it wrong about his comments this week.

Surely he should be focusing on the fact that if the 'A' Team is unavailable then the 'B' Team should be good enough to carry them? If we did qualify for a major championship (please one day, just once before I die!) would that mean we wouldn't have any sort of squad to compete? Would it not be better for him to be hassling the Welsh FA to set up a better youth system? If Cardiff City can reach the Premiership then this will help the cause immeasurably but rather than go on about who isn't there (and he hasn't help by alienating some much needed experienced, senior players) start focusing on who we can get there.

COME ON WALES!
