Thinking of going to Germany (Hildesheim)
I was planning on going to Honk Kong not so long ago… Bug that kind of fell apart for a number of reasons…. I’d still love to go though.
Well I have a friend who I have been hanging out with who is going to Germany soon and I may tag along. I have nothing to do over the next few months… And most of what I do now is just talk to people on the phone, go jogging, worry about my diet, and fix other peoples problems so I don’t think about my own.
Well my friend has a place to stay in a lovely town called Hildesheim which looks amazing, I love these types of towns! I have been looking at loads of photos that she took the last time she was there…. Its just beautiful! I am not sure how long I will be staying but id like to stay as long as I can.
Ill keep you updated and if I do go ill take some pics

Subscribe to the comments for this postWhy I am ashamed to be Britsh right now
I have always been proud to be British and have always been proud of its history. I found myself today feeling ashamed of how our Prime minister (Gordon Brown) has acted on the British workmen that have been Kidnapped for over a year.
I feel the only reason out Prime minister has now acknoleged that they have been kidnapped is because a newspaper got their hands on a new video. Before this we have seen nothing in the news and no commitment from our own Prime minister about his own people.
I know these men took some risks when working in Iraq, but they still deserved the respect of acknolegment from their country.
Why has he waited a year before doing anything? Why does it take publicity to get his ass moving?
These men have been missing for a year! Their families have been told to keep quite about everything and just wait… Wait for what? Wait for their heads to be delivered to their doorstep?
I know publicly acknowledging this would give the kidnappers more power… But they will get that anyway! You cant just leave people to fend for themselves at risk of having their heads carved off!
We need to grow some balls and let our countries heroes know that when they get into any trouble their own country will stand by them! And out Prime minister Gordon Brown needs to grow some Scottish balls!

Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!
Scoutle is a new blogging tool that follows in the footsteps of sites such as Entrecard and Spottt. It does have a twist to it that is unlike the others though. With Entrecard you need to spend a lot of time dropping card and promoting your blog… But with Scoutle you have a tiny little slave to do all of the work for you!
Meet your Scout (I call mine Nicole) and she walks around my fave blogs who also use Scoutle! She finds all the interesting posts I may like and send them to my widget on my blog.
All I do is find new blogs I like and get Nicole to say hi for me. She will then go walking around all of my fave blogs and meet other Scouts and as she talks to them she finds out new things.
Here is a video that tries to explain how everything works:
I have only been with this network for a week and have found some cool sites. It has a nice ranking system that I have not totally worked out yet though 
I am told that they are working on a new version of Scoutle that should be out soon!
One cool thing I really liked about Scoutle is that you can sign up using OpenID. This is one of the first networks I have seen do this, which is awesome!
When you sign up (Do it now to get more points!) please remember to add me to your network!
Here is some info from the Scoutle website:
1. Sign Up & Login
Sign up, activate your account and login.
2. Create a Scout and let him walk
Your Scout is your personal webcrawler. He will walk over the Internet and meet other Scouts. To help your Scout walk, give him some space by installing the small Stage on your website. This will not only activate your Scout, but will also bring other Scouts to your website.
3. Check & Connect
The Scouts your Scout will meet are selected based on a range of criteria, like interests, networks, connections and more. Be sure to check his results every now and then, visit the websites and if you find them interesting, start a Connection. This will help your website become more valuable.
4. Grow & More
You will not only see more visitors come to your website, but you will also get more points, which means your website is more appreciated. Discover all other options Scoutle has to offer. Create or join Networks or search in the Guide. Of course, new options will be available in the future as well. A new way of browsing the Internet is born!
HAVE FUN!!!

Entrecard loves SezWho! Kissy kissy
The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.
I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for 
credits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!
I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.
I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.
Getting started
The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.
So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!
I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).

Handing in the badge
I have decided that I do not have the time to be a MOD for Entrecard anymore. I have so much going on with other things and no time to do the normal modding duties that I am meant to do. It is not just Modding forums it also involves modding websites and dealing with PMs and Emails. It has just got way to much for me to deal with ontop of my normal jobs. I can now spend more time helping people in need and thinking of new ideas for Entrecard
I think I would be best suited to being a normal Entrecard member and having less restrictions in what I can say.
i would like to thank Graham and Richard for their help and understanding through my times of need. I would also like to say sorry for not being able to put as much time into it as I would like to have.
A big thanks to the whole MODDING team! I hope to still keep adding to the community and help take Entrecard further.
This has nothing to do with Entrecard, it is just my personal life and time restrictions I have.

Catch 22 - Can you be a Father if your children don’t know you exist?
First of all I would like to take a bit of time to explain that I love all of my children and would do anything for them. This is just a question for everyone, and I will try to explain things as easy as I can with my lack of English skills.
My mother is going to see my two Children on Sunday as it was my Son Jack’s Birthday. She has not seen them for awhile as she is heavily depressed, and finds it hard enough getting out of bed lately.
She just told me that my Ex ex (Steph) has asked me to send some money over. I would love to send money to my children but have now been told by my Solicitors to keep money I would normally send my children and put it into a savings account.
The reason I am so stuck with this situation is because I feel like “Why the hell should I send money” but i also see the “They are your children” which is why I did send them money before… And ended up paying TWICE as my ex ex lied about me sending money.
I have not seen my Son for over a year now, I never get a Chirstmas card, Birthday card, Fathers day card or even photos… but my ex still expects me to do everything a normal father would do… but I don’t get anything a father should get.
Even before all the crap that is going on in my life started she was a evil bitch. I had my Daughter who was “3″ at the time tell me “Mummy told me you was dead”! And then I had them used as pawns to get me to do everything she wanted. Read more »
‘Tramp’ in church was minister in disguise
I am not a religious man at all. I am open about being a Atheist but respect most religions and peoples beliefs. One of my favourite bloggers (Rebellious Arab Girl) has a old post about Honour Killings in the Islam religion which seems to always get some comments every month or so. Since reading this post and following Monas blog I have changed many of my views on Islam and Arabs in General.
A lot of people think that I must be some sort of Devil Worshipper as I don’t follow the Bible, Koran or read L. Ron Hubbard’s stories. I just believe we are here, I don’t believe that some higher power has written any books or has any disciples do so. I do believe these books can offer some words of wisdom and can help people out of some hard times, but that is as far as it goes for me.
I came across this story in Todays papers which really made me smile. It shows how some people believe that if they just go to Church or your Mosques then all is forgiven and their GOD will think they are good people… But what they forget is if their GOD is real he is watching 24/7.
I do not believe in GOD… But I try my very best to be as nice to people as I can. The one thing I did learn at school was Respect, and that is something I always follow.
Members of a church congregation received a shock when a “tramp” who wandered in off the street took off his wig and hat and revealed himself as their minister.
Former police officer the Rev Derek Rigby dressed in clothes from a charity shop and rolled around where his “dog had been” in the garden as part of his disguise.
The 51-year-old said he told the congregation and John Morris, one of the senior members and a lay-preacher who was taking the Sunday service, he would be arriving 20 minutes late at the Trinity Methodist Church in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, North Wales.
But instead of the expected arrival of the minister the congregation of around 70 saw a tramp walk in and sit down in the church.
Mr Rigby, who was a police officer for 15 years before he was ordained 20 years ago, said: “I was amazed that no one recognised me. I was quite close to some of them. Sitting next to some and they still did not recognise me.”
The minister, who had not shaved for three days, then stood up and revealed who he was. The charade was linked to the theme of the service which was based around the failure of the disciples to recognise Jesus Christ on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection.
Mr Rigby, who took up the post at the church in 2005, said: “When I walked in and revealed myself they (the congregation) broke into a round of applause.”
Speaking about the demonstration, he said: “It was interesting to see the different responses. It is the unacceptable face of charity.
“I had to walk about half a mile from my house to the church otherwise people would have recognised my car.
“I was not in the porch as people arrived for the service I was slightly outside the church.
“I had to scruff the clothes up and I had syringes – used for giving my dog medicine but without the needles in so they were safe.
“I waited until Sunday school had finished as I didn’t want to scare the children.
“I was behaving drunk but I was not noisy or rolling around. I sneaked into the porch where the disabled toilets are and stole some toilet roll.
“Then I went back in to steal a decanter and glasses at which point someone ran after me and took them off me. At that point I was invited in.”
