An Open Letter To You.


Hi-dee hi bloggers!

The laptops still knackered but Mrs H is at work and I’ve come inside from all this lovely sunshine to cool down a bit, which gives me the perfect opportunity to brag tell you that I’m going to be on TV again!

I’m becoming quite the media whore!

A couple of weeks ago the caravan channel (sky 213 I think) popped round to do a review of the site and it was piddling it down.

But now the sun is out, BBC Wales have decided to jump on the Bumferry bandwagon and want to come and do a LIVE report from the site.

It’s all to do with a world record breaking attempt of the most people in various locations wearing paper hats at the same time. (I’m not making this up)

Somehow we have roped into being the face of the club during this event for the BBC and so yours truly will be gurning his ugly mush to all the homes in Wales.

I’m not sure why BBC Wales are coming here because we are in Eng-ur-land but its free publicity for us so I’m keeping shtum!

Hope everyone is well and not too sunburnt.

While the laptop is still attempting to strangling itself and stopping me from spending any quality time online, I hope to download an app that will let me view all the blogs I miss reading.

If anyone knows of such a thing please let me know. I’m using Google Currents at the mo but doesn’t seem to update and I can only view posts from the end of April which is rubbish.

And the blogger app just lets me post and not view comments which again is a bit a of a let down.
Once again my apologies for not interacting as much as I would like. Fingers crossed I can get this damned thing fixed before too long.

Keep yourselves nice and tidy.

Chin Chin!

Bumf.




ps- (please note the jolly tone of this post is not indicative to the general tone of what this blog is about. Normal service will be resumed once payday comes and I can get the laptop fixed....now bugger off)

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-pt pt pt zzzzzzz.


Hello and sorry.

It’s been exactly two weeks since my last post.

It has been two weeks since you last had to endure the continuing spiral of despair that is my blog.
The irrelevant and off-kilter randomness and general downright self inflicted anger at the universe has caused my laptop, and life in general, to take a little side step in the goings on in my world.
Nothing’s wrong though. Don’t worry. I’m not dying. (that I know of....)

What with the bank holiday, which kept me very busy, Mrs H having yet another birthday (I’m sure she had only last year!) and visits from friends and family over the past few weeks I have not really had the chance to sit still long enough to get fed up at things.

Fear not – I am still fed up with the world.

But as busy as I have been, that is no excuse.




So here is my excuse....


It’s my laptop.

I believe the technical term for the issues I am suffering from is called Onitsarse.

Onitsarse can be a severe mechanical breakdown of thingys and whatsits.

When the thingys that controls the doo-dahs are not correctly aligned the specific 

Whatdoyoucall’ems become overheated and create a paradox or paradigm or parallelogram.

There are two specific parts known as Whatdoesthisthingdo. One of them is missing and the other is so coated in dust I dare not touch it for fear of it simply evaporating like an ancient parchment.

The bearded chap in the computer shop laughed at me when I explained the problem and so I walked out.

Moreover than this, the physical problems that continue to exasperate themselves in terms of hardware now make impossible for me to be on the computer for more than 15 minutes at a time. This is mainly due to the dirty looks I get from Mrs H who can’t watch her cooking/murder/vampire shows over the constant rattle of the fan or me swearing at the screen because of the fire hazard that sits on my lap.

So there you go. That’s my excuse. It’s a piss poor one I know. But it’s the best you’re going to get.... until I raid the piggy bank and buy a new pc.

The chances are I won’t be able to post over the next week or two either, which is a shame because there are more TV camera crews due next week and more excitingly than that – We have a new supplier of local ice creams and they really are flipping stunning.

Oh yes, and I’m popping back OOP NORTH for a couple of days for my birthday to meet up with friends.

I’m now turning the laptop off to give it chance to cool down and rub some cream on my legs.

Carry on the good work without me – I’ll only slow you down.

Cheers.


Bumf.
