I hate weekends, and this one has been a total washout.

Funny thing, I was watching Akira again since I hadn't seen it in a long time. Now the voice of the 2nd main character Kannada started to ring a bell with me, so I decided to look him up.. And guess what... he's been in nearly everything!

He was Dogtanion, Simba's singing voice, Dirk Daring from G Force and... well, lots of things... Go check him out!

Okay, so this maybe old information for one or two people, but I still find it interesting..

After a few studies, it has been discovered that male bats in species who live with promiscuous females in their colonies are growing bigger testicles. This is because a female bat can store a lot of sperm inside them and that carrying on your line can come down too how much you can "put out" if you get my drift. So male bats are getting bigger balls to carry more sperm.

In colonies where pares of bats mate for life, the males are getting smaller testicles but are evolving bigger brains and are getting smarter as a result.

Well, after the normal monthly live role playing game, I got talking to a few of the guys and girls at dinner. It seems the new big thing is to take a film title or quote, and replace one of the worlds with "Clunge".. If you don't know what "clunge" means, go look it up ;)

I'll start you off, and if anyone wants to join in, they can ;)...

"Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle clunge!"

"Are you afraid of the clunge?"

"Indiana Jones, Raiders of the lost clunge"

Wow.. just.. wow.. I am astounded. I just got back from my NHS dentists after having a wisdom tooth pulled and.. I felt nothing.. She was very nice, polite and good at her job.. It took 6 minuets.. Just wow..

Well, since the beginning of the new year I haven't been able to log onto Barclay's on line banking due to the fact that they now use a chip and pin reader to log you in. 
Now, I only have a cash card with Barclay's which I use to pay my bills, so I phoned them up asking if there is anything I could do to log into on line banking. After being asked a long list of security questions, I was put on hold for 40 minuets. A woman then picked up and asked me the same list of questions I had just been asked, along with asking some other questions about what I do and don't have which she repeated constantly. 
She informed me that I would need a special type of card to log in as I only have a cash card with them and gave me another phone number to ring for "Lost and Stolen cards" which she told me would issue one. 
I phoned "Lost and Stolen Cards" and was presented with two options; I could either cancel my account via the phone, or speak to one of their "Helpful staff". Since I didn't want to get anything canceled even by accident the day before payday, I pressed the number to speak to an operator who asked me all the same security questions all over again and we then had another conversation about what cards I have and so on.. 
Her last reply was "Sorry, because you don't have a debit or credit card with us, it seems you wont be able to use Barclay's on line banking. Is there any ting else I can help you with today?"..
I thought to myself "Well, no one from your bank has been able to help me since I phoned up this morning...

Total time spent on phone to Barclay's: 1 hour 19 minuets 23 seconds
Number of call centers re-directed to: 4
Number of people on the other end of the phone I could understand: 0

Total overall score for Barclay's on line banking: Big fat 0!

I need to post things.. So here is a stolen idea from huskyteer, a lyrics competition!

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (Skip the instrumentals, the remixes and the mashups)
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Well, over Christmas at my father place, I afford from really bad tooth ache around my fillings on two teeth.
Last night and this morning, I cleaned my teeth as normal and ended up with a mouth full of blood.
Really painful to eat stuff, and the bad thing is, I can't afford a dentist to look at it and Portsmouth no longer has an emergency dentist at the hospital.

I hate being bored, but it seems it's becoming more and more of a feature in my life. I've filled up a few days of the week with classes and what not to try and "better myself", it seems like keeping yourself entertained with a variety of subjects just costs too much money these days.

I guess I will have more things to do when college starts up again (if I get on this coarse that is). 
I seriously need to find new things to occupy me.

I heard something quite interesting on the news this morning.
It seems that the church of England (I'm not sure about Catholic Churches) are considering charing people to enter the church for the sermons and so forth.

Hang on.... Isn't this totally going against everything their church should be standing for?
I'm sure Jesus, if he did exist, and assuming that he did and what he apparently said was true, is fuming in heaven.

How far will this go? Will you need to have a gold credit card to pass those pearly gates?
A credit check to enter heaven.

Sometimes I think the Buddhists have it all sorted, expect nothing! (especially Buddhists).
