Well, it seems that Tyson is complaining that I haven't updated much, I have been pretty busy, and I did send out quite a big e-mail chronicling my weeks events (but my e-mail address list isn't exactly up to date to be honest), so when I get by to Kent House I'll use up the remaining 20p on my phone card to post it up on here, with a few edits.

Just finished my first lecture, Jesus they talk fast, though the lecturer did say that he'd had to rush it but still.

*Non-uni sidenote* I can't believe that in the past week that King Prawn, Lightyear, The Movielife and H2O have split up, truly a bad week for punk rock.

I'm taking a night off from drinking tonight, I feel that I've spent so much, and been up so late that its about time to have at least one nights break, or else my liver might end up looking like the infamous drawing by Smoothy (imagine a small jalapeno chilli and that's about it).

In a shocking cultural shift I have bought skate shoes. This is because my Lacostes were killing my feet, and I needed something more comfortable, and at least I bought Vans so theres a bit of punk credibility (Vans Warped Tour). And I got 10% of in Schuh because I flashed my NUS card, which was nice.

Later guys,

Well, I'm off tomorrow, it probably won't really sink in till next week, but hey, I can't stay in my protected little valley for ever.

I'm going to have to learn to be a little less naive, and perhaps more 'streetwise' (that made me feel like a midle-aged policeman giving a talk at a school assembly) when it comes to speaking. Last night when we left the wheelhouse me and Rob had to wait for Smoothy and Jack to walk Caroline home so we waited in the seat outside the bus shelter, cos it was raining and it gave us cover, anywho there's a load of scousers inside the bus shelter, and they keep asking us if we have any fags, but niether of us smoke, so we didn't, after a while, this girl, who can only be described as a Scally of the highest order, comes round and asks us why we're sitting there, so we say and she asks us "Whos Scott and Jack", so we told her they were our mates, and she walked off, so I said "wouldn't it be funny if she told them (the other scousers) that Scott and Jack were taking some slag home" Now seems like a very good time to point out how Caroline is not a slag, and that I think shes great, but nevertheless I imagine she may take offense, and to be fair, I really was very, very drunk. So the scally girl walks back round and goes, "Did you call me a slag" and these two big guys walk round the corner, and I really couldn't see this one ending nicely. I tried to explain, that I didn't mean her, but she was having none of it but amazingly, one of the blokes said "He didn't call you a slag.......... but you are one" Thank god for that, and then we spent an hour walking back to Smoothy's in the rain, getting in at about 4, top night.

I did get my SonyEricsson T610, and its brilliant, the camera isn't great, but I don't mind cos I already have a decent camera.

I probably won't be updating much (or at all) for the next few days, cos I won't be near a net connection, and I'll probably be way too busy, but at least my next blog entry should be quite interesting.

Till next time. B

You know when you have "just one of those days". Well I just had a big ass day.

I'm gonna be careful with my language cos blogwise.com haven't accepted me and I'm not sure if they allow swearing, so its gonna be a bit 12A (PG-13 for any Americans).

I drove back from Tysons at about 2:30 in the morning and got to bed for about 3, got up at 9 had some breakfast and set off to Barrow with my mum, cos my car needed servicing and I needed to get random stuff for uni. So we drop off the car and walk into Barrow, and go into Debenhams to look at towels <- *possibly the dullest thing I've ever written*. But we simply couldn't choose, so I bought a zip up top instead.

Upon leaving Debenhams, we went into the Vodafone shop, I didn't really mean to get a mobile, but I am pretty bored of carrying around my "work" brick, I don't even have a real job!! After that we went into Orange, the Link (where their ad men have decided its no longer easy to buy a phone), and then into Phones 4 U where I found I'd made some progress, the deal(io) was a free SonyEricsson T610, which was what I wanted, and £50 cashback on a £30 monthly contract, but I could lower the contract after 3 months., bargain me thinks, and I have my 2 forms of ID, driving license and Solo card, but O2 don't take Solo as proof of signature, so I'd need to get my passport, I LIVE 1 HOUR FROM BARROW, but still it seemed like a good deal, so we went back to hte garage to pick up the car, but it turned out that my front tyres were very badly worn, and that the front left was almost illegal, so whilst they were getting changed we went to Asda and bought me some pretty funky plates, and yes I know that sounds like an oxymoron.

Ok, so I got the car, drove home, got passport, and mums credit card, drove straight back, this took up over 2 god damn hours. So I collecte Mum from Tesco's where she'd done the food shopping and bought me an iron and other gubbins.

So we drive into tghe centre of Barrow and park up, go into Phones 4 U, sit down, the guy doesn't even look at my passport,(and he didn't even need it cos we'd rung up Dad whilst we were in the store earlier so that he could get my passport number for the credit check), and went to get the phone.

He comes down the stairs with a box for a Samsung, because they only had one T610 and its faulty, so would I like a different phone, now only 3 hours beforehand the T610 phone was the best they sold, 3 out of 4 people in the store had one, and the Samsung was nothing in comparison, and whilst the Samsung was a good phone, it wasn't the one I wanted, and not one that I drove for 2 un-neccessary hours to get, and he wasn't even going to cut me a better deal on the Samsung for the fact that he'd wasted a fair amount of both mine and my mums days.

Then he got really desperate for his commission, he said I should buy a phone there and then swap it at another Phones 4 U down in Leicester, so I just left, got some Jeff Banks towels, an Epson printer/copier/scanner for down at Uni, some popcorn chicken and headed home.

Lesson for today, if someone is sellin g something, they are not your friend, they are not trying to help you, they do not want you to get the best deal, and if they are in Barrow, most likely they really are quite stupid.

And another thing, I don't need a camera phone, who ever thought it was a good idea to put cameras on phones, I already have a camera, what I need is a phone.

Consider this rant over.

And if you see someone driving around in a beat up Toyota Land cruiser, record the numberplate, and maybe throw some eggs at the owner, cos someone crashed into Scotts Dad yesterday, and drove off, before the police or ambulance got there.

Later, B

My flowing mane is no more, I now have manageable hair that is actually affected by styling products.

Today I sorted out my student bank account, meaning I'll get a credit card with a £500 limit, which ain't half bad, and along with that I get a free 5 year rail card that would normally cost £90, so thats a pretty decent saving.

Thats all for today, I'm off to Tyson's, hey, mans gotta drink.

P.S. Thank you to Soph for being the first comment to the blog, hurray.

If you click in the counter you will find that GoStats.com have decided that my site is now called "A Big Guy In A Big Cuty", it doesn't matter how old you are, typos can always be funny. :-)

That has to be funny, cos I don't even like emoticons.

I really just can't get used to this funny new Sony keyboard.

I'd forgetten to put a link on the sidebar to my e-mail address, so its over there now, also feel free to add me to your MSN Messenger using the same address (babyrandy9@hotmail.com).

I have actual genuine news today, my brother moved down to London at the weekend to do a law course at BPP, and one of the people on his course is Freddy Windsor, a genuine Royal.

On the other hand today, I was awoken by the same guy as I spoke to yesterday at Sony Customer support, they wanted to check my serial number.

Then I went over to my friend Robs house (Garry was there too) and we decided to go and play mini golf, so we drove to Windermere and parked down at the glebe, and the parking was £4 for 4 hours, minimum, which pissed me off a bit, cos thats a fair amount for leaving a vehicle on some tarmac. So we walked down tghe glebe, got ice cream, and went to pay for golf, but that was closed, so we played crazy golf, and I ended up getting a score of 104 over 18 holes, but you should consider that I did get a 21 and a few 12's, because we played a rule that whenever the ball left the bit we were playing on, that was +5.

Organised a couple of things in readiment (is that even a word?) for my impending departure, I sorted out a haircut, so that my sexy flowing mane of hair can be tamed like the lion it has become (hmmm that's tasty drama) and also sorted a service for my Peugeot 206, down at Barrow, so I can drop it off, go bowling, have some lunch and then pick it up, hopefully they'll get rid if the annoying squeaking brakes, it simply doesn't impress girls.

More tomorrow, despite the fact I'm pretty sure no ones reading this, but if you are, please comment and then I can type with more vigour than ever before.

Added a comment system, its not designed by me, and come from the good folks at reblogger.com

Just added a counter :)

Added a box that allows you to enter your e-mail so that you can be informed when I have updated the blog.

Expect more tools, and content to be added within the next few hours and days.

Just added a couple of new links, my photo community hosted on MSN Groups, and my digital art hosted on deviantart.com.

Got my lovely new Sony Vaio laptop today, so all my site updates will be made from the comfort of the living room, at least until I leave home.

Had trouble registering it though, so I rang customer support and spent 15mins listening to hold music, and then spoke to a Dutch guy till it was sorted.

Little point though, can you imagine how embarassing it is to tell your e-mail address to someone over the phone when its babyrandy9@hotmail.com. Especially when I did it letter by letter.

Welcome to a blog that may have been done a million times before, though |I haven't seen ti, but then again I haven't looked, so how would I know?

I'm Andrew Bowness and I'm 18 years old.

I decided to start this blog for two reasons:

1, I got bored of the old community I was in charge of, cos no one was posting on it and I basically felt like a change.

2, Moving to Leicester is pretty much the biggest thing I've ever done, so I felt that it was necessary to chronicle it.

I'm moving 4 hours from my home where I've lived all my life, in an area with one of the lowest crime rates in the country, to, well, Leicester.
