Twilight

For a few months ago people were interested in the movie Twilight, especially young girls cause of the actor playing Edward (Robert Pattinson).

The premise of the book and movie if you don't know is that a teenage girl (Bella) risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire called Edward, Edward could easily suck her blood and turn her into a vampire but he loves her so dosen't, you also mix in his family all vampires of course who could also Bella into a vampire but stop themselves from doing it.

My nephew S who often visits me and uses my computer found this clip with a spoof on Twilight, i thought it was really funny and have shown a few friends.

I thought some others might like to look at it as well so follow this to watch tWHYlight

My Characters in World of Warcraft

In World of Warcraft (WoW) i have 2 level 80 characters which is the highest you can get to at the moment, one is a Frost/Fire Mage and the other a Holy Paladin.

I often go to instances and heal for people but i find that it gets hard when i have to heal loads of people at once and in Raids i am usually put onto the tanks, as i have what is known as "Direct Heal" (i can only heal one person at a time).

I know i should be playing my two characters but i get so bored with them, i have to wait for a group to go and do an instance, and then i can only do Heroic Instances once per 24 hours. (a area where there are main bosses and other characters you need to kill, killing them gets you better amour or weapons).

So as i said i am sick of healing like i have to, i have made a Shaman,(people in my guild dont know of this Shaman character i have made, once i get big enough like level 60, then i might join the guild that my other characters are in)

With a Shaman i get at level 40 something called Chain Heal, how Chain Heal works it seems you aim for one person and anyone standing near gets healed at the same time, this way when i go to instances and such i wont get yelled at for supposedly not healing and i will have less stress as i can see the peoples health go down and not being able to heal them as i am healing someone else.

We will see how things go with leveling and playing this character, if i prefer this healing then my paladin will just be sitting there doing nothing hehehe

Annoying Neighbours

I live in a 2 story unit, that has a front and back yard and a driveway which i have to share with my neighbours who live below me, i haven't had any real problem with other neighbours Ive had, but the ones i have now are very very annoying.

They hadn't even moved in telling me that they no longer wanted me to park my car on the grass so the children could play in the front yard, (we have a backyard as well) i said no as the boyfriend has been parking his car in the driveway and i didn't want to get caught in front of his car and have to ask him to move it.
Her asking me to not park on the grass has been happening for around 4 weeks now. I said i would try parking on the driveway and see how it goes. As well as my car my nephews car is parked in the backyard.

On the weekend it was pouring down rain and he had parked his car behind mine as well as there being another car, i wanted to go out that day but to do that i would have had to walk down in the rain to ask them to move the car and wait, all the time getting wet.

When i got home yesterday she was at the front door again asking me to not park on the grass, i have moved my car to a different spot on the grass so that the children can run around on most of it.
This time she told me that i had to move my nephews car and that "she" wanted it gone by the weekend, i said i would ask him to move it but i don't seen it happening.
Then she came out with that "i am not supposed to park on the lawn as the estate agents told her that" telling me that i could go in her place with her so we could ring the real estate agency, i ended up walking away and rang the real estate agency myself to find out what where i stood on all this.

It seems that i can park on the grass, and that i am to have 24 hours access to the driveway being able to get in and out whenever i want.
The real estate person said that she was going to contact the people that live below me and ring me back today, i haven't heard anything yet, but will ring back later if i don't hear anything.

Now i know though where i stand and the next time asks me to not park on the grass and I'm not supposed to, i will shoot back with you are not to hinder my entrance to the driveway which you have been doing and tell her to pull her head in.

13 year old Dad

Alfie, a 13 year old boy who who looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.

Maisie was conceived after Chantelle and Alfie — just 12 at the time — had a single night of unprotected sex.


Alfie's father Dennis, said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come.

Alfie is described as “a typical 13-year-old boy”. “He loves computer games, boxing and Manchester United.”
Chantelle told how she discovered she was expecting after going to her GP with “really bad” stomach pains. She said: “Me and Alfie went. The doctor asked me whether we had sex. I said yes and he said I should do a pregnancy test. He did the test and said I was pregnant. I started crying and didn’t know what to do.

“He said I should tell my mum but I was too scared.

“We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you.”

But Penny figured out what was going on after buying Chantelle a T-shirt which revealed her swelling tum.

The funny part Alfie is supposedly responsible as "he wanted to be the first to hold Maisie after the hospital birth". He tenderly kisses the baby and gives her a bottle.
His father Dennis, 45, said: “He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his Playstation. But he has been at the hospital every day.”

Chantelle admitted she and Alfie — who are both being supported by their parents — would be accused of being grossly irresponsible. She said: “We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now. We will be good loving parents.

More like the will be looked after by the British Government

Chantelle and Maisie were released from hospital yesterday. They are living with Penny, Chantelle’s jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits.

Alfie is allowed to stay overnight and even has a school uniform there so he can go straight to his classes in the morning.

Wow sweet right, a 13 year old boy who should be concentrating on school, playing with his friends and just having fun will probably end up having sex every night with Chantelle.

Not to sure who got who to have sex, but why would you want to have sex with someone who looks eight.
.
Edit
Its seems that the baby might not be Alfie's two boys Richard Goodsell, 16, and 14-year-old Tyler Barker who live close to the Stedmans in Eastbourne, East Sussex, have claimed paternity.
.
Richard has said he had sex at least three times with Chantelle around the time she became pregnant.
Tyler said: 'I slept with Chantelle about nine months ago and I'm really worried I could be the father. I hope it's not me
.
'Alfie believed he was the father but due to reports in the News of the World at the weekend, he wants to make sure by having a DNA test as soon as possible.'
.
Maybe it is one of the other boys but Chantelle maybe thinks Alfie would be the better father as she can control him, especially Alfie being only 13

Topless women in shows

I was watching a tv show last night and it had a few women topless in it, why they had to be topless i don't know, they could have put a sheet over them, but no the person making the show said the women had to be topless i guess

But it brought up a memory from years ago of a Pizza Shop near where i live that i think was loosing money so they decided to have topless women taking the orders for Pizza after 9pm.
I remember a friend of mine went there as her boyfriend wanted to go to order a Pizza from there just to see the women topless.
When they got there the women were supposedly not that good looking and leaning into the guys i guess making it that the man who was ordering almost touched their breasts.

I remember the Pizza store ended up closing a month or two later, it seems that the first few weeks where fine but customers stopped going to the store, hehehe some people do weird things to bring customers into their shops don't they

Australian Government says no to sales of Online Computer Games

It seems that Australia has banned the selling of certain online computers games that are known as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs).

Games such as World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online and Pirates of the Burning Sea.

It seems they have not been given any classification like M or MA15+

A spokeswoman for Federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland said that,
"The National Classification Scheme does not distinguish between games based on whether or not they contain a single player component," she said.
"Online games are computer games within the meaning of the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 and are covered under the existing legislation."


A spokesman for NSW Attorney-General John Hatzistergos said the NSW Classification. That the enforcement of the act was the responsibility of police but penalties for breaking these laws ranged from $1100 to $11,000 for individuals and/or 12 months' imprisonment. For corporations the fines were approximately double.

Why has it taken Australia so long to find this, why didn't they do something about it when the games first started coming out, that would have been over 10 years ago.

I'm sure Blizzard (owners of WoW) will be looking at this little problem and working out what they need to do to make the game able to be sold in Australia again

I'm just glad that they didn't enforce this when Wrath of The Lich King came out, i would not be a very happy bunny as I'm sure other players in this country would be

When looking at any pages about this, i found this written on the bottom of the page from a Blizzard rep
We will always respect the laws of the countries in which we operate.
The full story can be found online at Sydney Morning Herald

My Brilliant Career

I watched an old Australian movie from the 1970's on the weekend called My Brilliant Career, it is one of my favourite movies to watch, i remember seeing it many years ago and it stayed in my memory forever.

I was able to buy the movie last week as there is a movie magazine series that you can buy every fortnight of Australia movies and this was one of them.
Ive been looking to buy this movie for years and this is the first time Ive been able to find it so i was of course very happy.


The movie is bassed on a story written by Miles Franklin, who was born as Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin in 1879, she was was an Australian writer and feminist

When the book came out many people thought that it was true to what Miles life was like, with many similarities born on a grazing property, her maternal grandmother near Tumut (NSW), early part of her life at Brindabella, property near Goulburn, NSW, and then in 1903 to Penrith (NSW)

What the movie is about is a women called Sybilla a headstrong girl growing up in late 19th century Australia, and her journey to finding her self.

The movie starts of with her living at her parents house where Sybylla's shoes are tied with string, at 17 she is the eldest child and is sent to do men based jobs like, milking cows, chopping wood and chasing after her father at the pub, but when she goes inside her parents h0use she is to be a lady again.
With having to do most of the manly jobs Sybylla rarely gets the chance to fulfill her artistic passions for writing, acting and music

Her parents tell Sybylla that she needs to get a job as they are not being able to afford to keep her anymore. What happens is that she is sent to stay with her maternal Grandmother where she is praised for her piano playing and freed from any agricultural labour. While living there Sybylla shows impatience with the argument that "marriage shows women respectability", but as Sybylla seems to realise that gender does not transcend class, even though a higher social position may offer a women more comfortable forms of subordination

While she is there she meets one of the neighbours Harry Beecham, after getting to know each other Harry asks Sybylla to marry him, she says she cannot as she is to young and would tell him in three years where she will give him an answer. I wont spoil this by telling you what the answer is when he does go back to see her.

Sybylla thinks of herself as ugly and thinks that no man would ever want to marry her, she shows it with this.... Sybylla: I think ugly girls should be shot at birth by their parents, its bad enough being born a girl, but ugly and clever.

Miles Franklin died in 1954. In her will she bequeathed her estate to establish an annual literary award known as The Miles Franklin Award

The movie had two unknowns in the lead rolls
  • Sybylla ---- Judy Davis
  • Harry Beecham ---- Sam Neill

It was directed by Gillian Armstrong who is now known by other movies she directed
  • Charlotte Gray
  • Oscar and Lucinda
  • Little Women
