No really reason for this post, just trying a new app that I just got, hopefully it will work.

Trainig is going pretty good, only got a few weeks left know, can not wait to go on my first duty, hopefully it will be as good as I hope it will be, little worried that I don’t know the area that I’ll be based at all, could be interesting, got myself a map though, so hopefully it will be ok.

Not long until the new F1 season either, really looking forward to it, Jenson and Hamilton in the same team should be great as well, will be happy if either of them win the champonship, although to be honest, would be happy if anyone but Massa and Alonso won.

Decided that I needed a new layout, got rather bored with the old one, similar idea, but I believe it looks better, still got a few things to get sorted, but hopefully that will be done within the week, depends when I find the time.

Right, little update about my Police Specials application, on the 16th I had a awareness evening at the headquarters, was a good evening, answered a few questions that I was wondering about, and got to have a go at the Police Initial Recruitment Tests (PIRT) (5 altogether, Verbal Usage, Checking, Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Logical Reasoning and Observation), and also got to watch the fitness test, I was going to take part in the fitness test, however, the day before I had a ingrown toenail removed, and it was still a little painful to walk, so couldn’t take part. However, it doesn’t look as bad as I first thought it would be, believe I should be able to pass. Going read up on some of the English based PIR, English has never been a strong subject of mine, but hopefully its something I can work on.

While I was at the awareness evening, we where told that the dates for the assessment day (PIRT and interviews are held on this day), one in October, one in November and one in January, they said that most of the people in the room (40 to 50) would be taking them in January, which is rather annoying, would rather it was sooner, but gives me more time to get ready.

Different topic now…F1…always some drama going on off the track, which is one of the reasons I love it so much, latest is that Renault have been fixing races, for more information, the following links explain whats happened.

Renault called to face fix charge
Renault to launch Piquet lawsuit
Briatore out over Renault fix row
Renault blames Briatore & Symonds
Renault face Formula 1 fix fate

I’m really liking this latest twist in F1, I’m not a big fan of Renault, and despise Alonso, always happy when he has a crap race, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be charged with anything, which is rather annoying, but maybe he was involved, will hopefully find out soon, FIA have got their meeting tomorrow.

Today I had a interview for the restpite home that my brother goes to, to help out during the summer, and now will be working there a few times during the summer, which is pretty cool, really looking forward to it, just need to find a way of doing the training, its Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, and I work those evenings, hopefully I can get something sorted out though.

Also, cleaned my room today, was going to be getting a new bed, well, sisters old bed as shes getting a new one, and had to clean my room, which took a while, but worth it, I’m now changing a few things, at the moment I have a built in wardrobe, but changing that, I’m putting my TV in my wardrobe thing (hard to explain…hole in a wall really), taking the shelves out and putting new and bigger ones in, bottom one will be for my TV, then my Xbox, and then DVD’s, Games and Books along the rest. Should hopefully make it look neater, at the moment I’ve got wires all over my desk. Also getting rid of my desk, only use it to put my TV on, so taking up room, and thats where my wardrobe is going to go.

Getting the wardrobe tomorrow, and then hopefully over the next few days I’ll get the rest of it all sorted out.

Watched the F1 over the weekend…great win for Webber, even better of him as he had a drive though, hopefully there will be a lot more for him. Little annoyed with the BBC though, was at work on Saturday so couldn’t watch the qualifying, so was going to watch it when I got back from work on BBC iPlayer, just as I sit down the news is on, and they give the results, really annoyed me, although not as much as when they told the results before it was replayed again when the race was on at 6am. That really was annoying.

I’ve added Clip of the week again, I didn’t really have time when I’m working, and often forget, hopefully weekly I wont forget. Also added links to my Facebook, Twitter and RSS Feeder at the bottom of the page, along with a Tag Cloud, going to be adding a few more things soon.

Really enjoying my time off at the moment, been my first week off where I’ve not had college or school work, so its nice having to do nothing, been going to the gym though, getting ready for the fitness test for the specials, also lost a stone, which I’m pleased about. Getting into the habit of going to the gym daily now, isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Only annoying thing is my jeans keep falling down at the moment, and its another week and a bit until pay day when I can get a belt.

I’ve seen a great iPhone app, gives up upto date locations of F1 drivers during a race, along with sector times, only thing I’m not too keen about is that its £4.99 a time, which is rather annoying, but could be useful if you aren’t able to watch it live, cant find a link for it at the moment though, trying to find the name for it in the F1 Racing magazine.

Just found the links Apptism.com and Pisspass.com, along with F1.com, bit confused that Apptism.com are saying that its $30, while F1 Racing Magazine is saying its £4.99 for each weekend.

My boss went balilstic yesterday because i popped out to buy some cigaretes from the nearest high street.

Mind you, he does have a point.

I work on an oil rig.
