Holland and Barrett
02.02.06 (9:14 am)   [edit]

Did anybody else notice the Holand and Barrett adverts on my google ads the other day?

Hmm that's pretty impressive.

Well I haven't been up to much folks. I'm coding my a$$ off trying to get this programming finished off but it's acting like a b1tch so there you go can't be helped.

I'm also devouring lots of fruit. Mmmm Fruity.

And I think that pretty much sums up the weirdest post ever on my blog.

Yahoo Domains
02.01.06 (7:04 am)   [edit]

I was just thinking hasn't the price of domain names gone totally cheap? I remember years ago when I was like 13 or something and was thinking about setting up a website they were like 20 quid (that's $25 USD for those not familiar with slang) and know you can get cheap domain names for at least £2.00 a year. I remember the yahoo domains used to be really expensive aswell they were like $10 a month.

Oh well, supply a demand

Sad People...
01.31.06 (1:59 am)   [edit]

A new post today. With the title of "Saddo". By a "Saddo" I mean people who have nothing better to do with their lives.
First of all, there's a guy on T.v who's started up his own "Car Park Appreciation Society" as you might of guessed:

He's the only member.

Although he claims that his wife's joined so that makes two members. Whoopee....

I also happened to be reading a crappy newspaper called "Daily Express", and they were talking about chip shops and here are the name of some really cringeworthy fish and chip shops:

The Starchip Enterprise

Codswallop

There were a few more but I don't have the newspaper cutting with me so, that's a bummer.

Well, I forgot my "blog to-do" list so I'm a bit screwed.

 
Wacko Jacko scarf bandit
01.30.06 (5:04 am)   [edit]
Well, wacko jacko took it one step further check this out everybody:

 

http://news.yahoo.com/photo/060125/481/xhj1 0301251417&" title="http://news.yahoo.com/photo/060125/481/xhj1 0301251417&" target="_blank"http://news.yahoo.com/photo/0...;g=events/en/071503michae ljackson;_ylt=Ai5YNwQthkw ZK8oSNWjc584nHL8C;_ylu=X3 oDMTA3bGk2OHYzBHNlYwN0bXA -

 

Ahem, yes, what the f*** are you playing at? Apparently he also got caught in a women's toilet.
But the ting I really wanted to have a stab at was some famous Japanese torture methods.
Number 13: leaving captives exposed to sunlight.
Well we can all imagine the effect that would have on Wacko Jacko; he'd melt like an ice-cream in the Sahara. Here's an artist impression of what he would look like this:

It was so messy; we had to re-sculpt it into a more pleasant object.
Oh and one more thing guys, back in the old days when I started this up I started getting quite a lot of Traffic from Traffic Roundup, which is a pretty good traffic exchange website. Check it out here:

and here's a quote:

Interesting Mr.Shopenhauer, I've never even heard of you, maybe because school education is so f***ing censored in order to preserve culture. But I'll save that for another entry ;)

 

 

 
Gangster Rap and agressive adolescents a.k.a CHAV's
01.27.06 (7:09 am)   [edit]

I was just reading an interesting article by Prof. Michael J. Donnelly
from Rhode Island university and he's got some interestng, apparently conducting an investigation into the title of this blog.
Lets slap down some quotes:
"Gangster Rap music is causally related to adolescent maladaptive behavior"

Haha, I couldn't agree with you more, althogh the experiment is still being conducted

"Interviews were designed to probe into the subjective experience of listening to Gangster Rap. "

I'm pretty sure that hearing about guys wiggling their hands about like their suffering from Alzheimers and bopping up and down as if their shagging a dead horse has something to do with why we see so many burberry-clad, down-trodden losers hangng around like they've got nothing better to do.

But lets be realistic, as the singer of Hard- Fi (see previous posts for p1$$takes of this band) says "What's wrong with CHAV's?, They're working class people" hmm true to a certain extent matey but they behave like complete and utter w***3**s. Make no mistake.

Well, that's the end of another post and it's the weekend. Which I'm looking forward to as I'm going to be mixing in one of our school choir tapes which I obtained. I'm going to totally take the p!$$ and go overboard by mixing it in with lots of gangster rap samples (you know, gunshots and guys shouting the word "moth3rf*ck3r" every 5 seconds.

Oh yes, I think that applies very well with the post.

 
Fresh Rant feat. Mesothelioma
01.26.06 (4:41 am)   [edit]

Well, a new post, about time too I think.
Just to get a few things of my chest, first of all when you get a packet of biscuits why the hell does it tell you 'tear here' slap down the middle of the packet and when you unravel it 1/5 of the biscuits just fall out of the pack.
That just p1$$3s me off.
As you know I've been talking about Mesothelioma for quite some time, If you really want to know it's a cancer and you can get rid of it in many ways. But the lawsuits for Mesothelioma are crazy I mean some guy got a
"$1.153 million Award in Mesothelioma Lawsuit"

That's pretty damn crazy, I mean with the money he could have probably got cured.

Some families get $2 miliion in other Mesothelioma related lawsuits. It's apparently to do with asbestos, but didn't that get banned?

Well...Yes & No

According to:

http://mesotheliomainfo.blogspot.com/" title="http://mesotheliomainfo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"http://mesotheliomainfo.blogs...

He claims that it can still be used as long as the concentrations levels aren't too high and it's well kept. So, you probably won't get mesothelioma if it is maintained, and who the hell is going to enforce that?

What a f***ed up law.

If you

 
I've been thinking about it
01.25.06 (4:52 am)   [edit]
Well, I was thinking about leaving Tblog, so I decided to post on my other blog: zapdude.blog.com It's not like I got mesothelioma cancer or anything ;) but that totally sucks and the one of the reasons I left was, was because I couldn't use TBlog for BloxExplosion, supposedly they kept on Emailing the Tblog staff and they couldn't get round to making it compatible. So, I'm back in this and I got a new advertiser, whoo-hoo. I should be able to start up the community website I was making and make some progress on that online game too. I also had this amazing idea of doing celebrity blogs the sheer p***take factor would be totally cool. Although the feds will probably take away my computer and nick all my dodgy applications. Keep on blogging dudes! (and dudettes!)
 
The School
01.24.06 (3:23 am)   [edit]

Here's a little story about a school I made up.
Obviously it's slightly twisted set in a dystopia.

The roof was covered in asbestos which stunk of fresh cheese , the headmaster knew it caused lung cancer, but he got two tons off an auction bid along with a printer, he also had an obsession with Velcro.

 

The kids were much worse; they were literally paying money for a degree. Some were rich though, they had a mobile phone, a mp3 player and some even had diamond studded jewellery and gold chains that literally made you blind. There were also the bullies, who gave ‘ beef ‘ as they called it, they did import and export work shipping in Marlboro cigarettes, the geeks used the computer to track down the shipment.
That wasn’t the only application of the Internet used in school.

 

As well as charging up a massive loan and mortgage on a cloned platinum credit card they ran up a huge debt. Not to mention booking a cheap flight or two for their friends.

 

Some of the kids acted like security guards for protecting the kingpins at the top of the chain. These guys had Ford cars, which definitely had no insurance preferring the geeks to do any repair work. In their cars they had big bass speakers for music along with a massive LCD television and optical laser recognition security.
The whole school was one big conspiracy.

 

 

 
Duhh
01.24.06 (3:19 am)   [edit]
Duhh.. so bored..must try not to fall asleep. That's just one of my mutterings in Religous Studies, why I picked I don't know.. I think mp3 players were just made for dull lessons like those. Hmm what else has been happening in the life of Zapdude..what comes to mind? quite a bit or coursework? upcoming essays? Nah my readers aren't interested in that s***. How about I tell you what really, really gets on my nerves when I read other new blogs on the world wide w***. First of all I can't stand other teenagers of the same age as me ranting about their boyfriends and how they recently got dumped because they got told that they look like a sl*g-Wh0r3 because personally I couldn't give a s***. And then you get guys who just quote like f*****g crazy and their blog turns into a directory of links. And then you get these really old girls that always claim that there "proud to be a b1tch" Oh, har-har-har! your cool aren't you? What a piece of s*** But moving on to some good news I found this guys blog that's really cool, basically, he talks about stuff he finds of the street and then posts little pictures of it! Check it out: http://ocdfinds.blogspot.com/... I've also been helping some kids in the years below me to build a game, whether the game or not will see the light of day is a different matter. They've got a nice website so far, but I forgot to favourite it so more info on that in another entry. Speaking of games, the reason why I added the google ads was because I'm trying to fund an online game! I have done a LOT of planning believe me, and I' ve been complimented on that I just need to drum up a small 'kitty' for the funding. Until next time Zapdude
 
Arghhh That's Impossible!
01.24.06 (3:18 am)   [edit]
Can you believe it folks? I did a blog 'battle' with 'grand-pa' who's some old guy with grey hair who's got his own blog and his one won in the competition Damn that sucks!
 
Matthew Downloads
01.24.06 (3:18 am)   [edit]
HI guys, I found a really cool looking site (not literally of course, it needs work) It's got prank calls and stuff. The guy who owns it has some sort of Anti-Chav organisation and I cant stand chavs so I thought I'd give you the link here: http://www.matthewdownloads.r... I downloaded the prank calls on my mp3 player so I'll see if their any good :)
 
Haha.Terms?!
01.24.06 (3:17 am)   [edit]
I was trying to sign up for a server so I could host my online (crap) game review community and I found this amazing web hoster, I decided to read the term although I usually can't be bothered, but check this out: "...server as a file/backup repository. Customers are expected to employ good house keeping when maintaining their account." Good house keeping? That's a bit unfair isn't it? I mean my server's a mess..
 
Welcome Dudes
01.24.06 (3:16 am)   [edit]
I just signed up to http://BlogExplosion.com which is a kick a$$ site if you want to promote your blog guys, I've read some really funny ones and I have yet to find an atrocious blog. Apart from that my brother keeps on complaining that he wants to start up a blog complaining about what really happens in the UK. One of the things that really annoyed him was "Price-Checking" I told him I'd add it in my blog and save him some time. Here goes: Ok, Sainsbury's had Pure Orange juice for I think 47p and Tesco's had it for 52p, so what do Sainsbury's do? They jack up the price so they can price match and make it look like their doing a better deal! How crazy is that! They could have just boasted and said their product was cheaper. That's pretty f****ng stupid, I mean c'mon. It's like, erm...what's it like...It's like me trying to kill you. I shoot you and your almost dead, and another guy stabs somebody else. SO I try and compete with him by taking you to a doctor giving you a full recovery and then stabbing. How fricking pointless, is that. anyway I got a lesson now with a teacher who says "OK" 170 times so I'll see you later.
 
Arghh, What the hell
01.16.06 (7:20 am)   [edit]
Ok, my response after checking if I got any new comments on my blog? Wtf is wrong with my interface man? the text is on top of my banner and the blog has been tiled and..and.. Breathe.. Oh well, it can't be that bad, look on the bright side. My exams are over until June so that leaves plenty of time for chilling out. As I promised, I got some cool stuff to show ya, all coming from the random neurons flying in my brain. Me and my mates were checking out this REALLY POSH store in UK called 'Harrods' (it's the most expensive department store). Ok, so were browsing an we come across this Solid Platinum Golf Putter, ok it's bad enough there's crap like this anyway, but it's for sale for £15,000 F***ing rich twats. If you don't believe me the links here: http://www.harrods.com/Cultur...+Detail.htm?CS_ProductID=PP02(Har rodsComCatalog)&CS_Catego ry=Mens_Golf(HarrodsComCa talog)&CS_Catalog=Harrods ComCatalogGB Bloody big link too! Ahh dear, anyway I'm gonna get one of those little notebooks so I can jot my ideas on the move as it takes to long to type it on my phone like I usually do! Zapdude Currently listening to "Transmission" by "Joy Division" as I type this!
 
no time!
01.13.06 (7:38 am)   [edit]

whoa, can't hang around dudes, but just to let you know my exams are finished! yay!


Oh and one more rant


Isn't it stupid when there's a blank page on the paper and it says "blank page" oh well..

One Left!
01.12.06 (8:03 am)   [edit]

Whoo-Hoo!


One exam left, on Friday! typical anyways how's everybody else doing nothing much happening at the moment except I'm maknig a online game which is why so many adverts have 'sprung' up everywhere around my blog.


It's not because i'm a corporate whor3 or anything, it's just this project must cost quite a bit as programmers don't work for free :o


I 'm never ever going to choose pop-ups because they suck a$$. I would ask you to click on the ads but this blog hasn't got enough meaty content on it yet.


So expect more of the usual stuff on Friday, and wish me luck!


Zapdude


Putting the "B" in "Blog" (ok I admit that was a bit of a $*** one)

 
Games
01.11.06 (3:52 am)   [edit]

Well, as you guys might know I'm making a website to showcase all the crap games out there along with funny reviews and downloads so the people can experience their $hi**yness themselves.


It's going along quite well, I just need a PHP programmer to sort out some stuff such as signing users up and rating crap games. I got the scripts but it's just implementing them that's a real bummer.


I also just did one of my exams today! 8) . So I've got 2 left, English and History A-Level which is why I haven't been blogging as much.


Stuckinapuddle also sent me some tbucks, how the hell do you do that? I guess they did implement some new features then. Anyways, I've got to revise but I might update this entry later on.


Zapdude :wink:

:wink: :wink:
 
How Stupid is this?
01.10.06 (9:45 am)   [edit]

I'm currently developing a website and revising for my exams aswell which is why I haven't had time to post anything, but I couldn't resist posting this little thing to cheer you guys up.


Thanks for the support 'stuckinapuddle'!

 
Nigerian Money Offers
01.04.06 (5:21 am)   [edit]

Yeah...boi!, don't Alice In Chains rock? Anyway..


I was just thinking about all the scams you get nowadays, I still see a lot in newspapers and stuff like you know 'earn £800 a week sitting in your ar53' I mean what a pile of crap, for a start you could purchase a bigger ad if you WERE earning £800 a week I'd rent out a massive A4 AD.


But a couple of weeks ago I got this e-mail from some weird-a$$ guy who wanted me to secure some bonds or some s*** like that because his son died and his countries f***ed up or something. Well I did a little bit of research and asked other people if they got any similar e-mails.


A friend of mine said something about the governer of Hong Kong e-mailing him about a flu epidemic and he needed extra funding . Now why the f*** would he ask this dude for some money, I mean come on! he was working in Burger King at the time. I don't think he's got enough financial capacity to supress a viral epidemic.


So, I did a little research and check this out!


http://spl.haxial.net/nigerian-fraud/" title="http://spl.haxial.net/nigerian-fraud/" target="_blank"http://spl.haxial.net/nigeria...


It's really funny, but apparebtky


7% of people get scammed by Nigerian Money offers


out of all the other scams on the Internet that's quite a big statistic considering prizes are 0.01%.


Anway I hope you enjoyed that post

Welcome Back!
01.03.06 (5:22 am)   [edit]

Hello Everybody,


Happy New Year, I've just had a two-week holiday and I just couldn't upload any new entries on my blog although I'll be talking about stupid stuff like Value Added Tax, I was just thinking about that whilst I was at work ( I mean it just doesn't make sense! ) I also did a pi$$ take comic strip of New Years Day at my work place.


There's also been some excellent news about rappers, two in particular. Remember roughly a month ago I was talking about 'Pimp Juice' well it turns out fellow Ladies and Gentlemen that you have been listening to me and then this sweet headline graced my eyes:


"Cases of Nelly's Energy Drink 'Pimp Juice' Stolen"


Yes! suck on that Nelly, serves you right for acting like such a twit and being a fricken 'company man'


Here's Another:


"Will Smith's ID Thief Caught & Prosecuted"


Haha, eat that!


Anyway gtg, although I have been reviewing crap online games so there ya go!


(May be updated later (90% chance)


Ha-ha I told you I'd upload more. Will Smith, that should serve him right for making some cheesy tunes. Ahh well that was good news, anyway I'm back at School so that sucks a bit too although I've learned some stuff about Socrates and I drew an alien bending over, but by the time I turned my head someone drew 2 nobs one in his hand and one going up his booty.


Well tommorow's post wil be better


See you everyone, here's a good one from Abraham Lincoln


"Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves."
In that case George Bush is a complete and utter Chimpanzee shagging dumba$$.

12.16.05 (3:23 am)   [edit]

Ahh dear.. just reliving past memories.
I just thought of some funny moments from year back. Here's one of many the people that lived in our house before and chucked out their old microwave and stuffed it in their shed.


2 years later I got the world's most powerful catapult from a special Army Surplus store, it was wicked.
First off, we got some ball bearings and loaded em up and it smashed through it like it was paper. I slipped a bit when I was aiming and I hit the timer dial by mistake and it made a "Ding!" noise. Me and my brother were just laughing like mad.
I think the catapult was called the "Black Widow" or something. ahh class.
Anyway that was years ago, but the next summer after the incident my brother had tried all posibilities to try and repair our shitty inkjet printer but nothing so alas.
You can guess what happened next.
Only though this type we found some really thick sounds and it sounded like a gunshot when it collided. Barely recoginise it was a printer afterwards.
Lovely Jubbly.

Space Cadets
12.15.05 (12:39 am)   [edit]

Anybody seen that new show on T.V called Space Cadets?


For thos of you who don't know it's a massive budget reality-tv program (most of them suck). They basically pick the most dumbest British people, using stringent tests. Tell them there going to be the first televised british astronauts, tell them there going to Russia when really there flying in the air for 3 hours and land again in a massive fake russian base where they get told their going into space. When they convincingly get put in a simulator for 5 days.



Anyway, it's wicked. And yesterday this guy was eating an apple in space and he left it for half hour and he says


"this apple would have been black if I left it on Earth"


haha! wot a dumba$$. I thought I might share it with you guys. I'll probably post another item later on :)

Crazier World feat. Pizza
12.14.05 (4:36 am)   [edit]

Well as you've noted in my previous blog I was having a rant over Australian soaps, it appears that things have gone even crazy down under.


In an Australian prison (some place in Tazmania), they kidnapped this security guard and demanded a ransom..


The ransom?


"eventually gave up their hostage after agreeing to 15 pizzas, Coke and garlic bread."


Oh my God, seriously, if your going to kidnap a security guard you want your demands to be high, like erm.. Diplomatic Immunity perhaps? or erm.. safe passage out of Australia. But oh no, a couple of Dominoes and their satisfied, no wonder they ended up in the slammer in the first place.


Apparently the guard is recovering from his 'ordeal' at home. Ha! What did they do to him?


Zapdude


One of the very few extremely hard to corrupt bloggers, it's gonna take more than pizzas....maybe flapjacks..


Here's a nice little quote from Benjamin Franklin:

Crazy World
12.12.05 (6:12 am)   [edit]

Oh man, ages ago I was looking through the classified sections in the paper and I found the most stupidest job adverts just have a look at these!
I'm not sure whether or not I should filter out the numbers or not but sack it!, these job adverts were meant to be exposed. So if anybody wants to ring them up and er 'converse' than feel free. But remember this is in the UK so add all that +44 s*** if your international.
Here's the first one

Check it this crap job

What the f***, envelope openers? don't muck me around, man that's slave work man. now then lets go back to the real world shall we? Check it this crap job
How interesting are you, if your selling goats cheese? come on. And how much traininig do you need?



The world really is crazy

 
Red Bull(ox)
12.09.05 (1:52 am)   [edit]

Well, well apparently the stimulant known as "Red Bull" is taking a weird advertising route, apparently their treating their product as some sort of drug according to this it says


http://www.bized.ac.uk/compfact/redbull/redbu ll7.htm" title="http://www.bized.ac.uk/compfact/redbull/redbu ll7.htm" target="_blank"http://www.bized.ac.uk/compfa... 


"Red Bull's target consumer segment began to adopt nicknames for the product such as 'liquid cocaine' or 'speed in a can', thus spreading its 'left-field' appeal."


Well, it certainly avoids the traditional route they've also given out free red bull to to people in the middle of the street who they thought were 'in need of energy'


That's pretty crazy, although I just wanted to know peoples opinions on it
