howie’s halfpipe

Yesterday my phone number was supposed to port across from soul to virgin.

It didn’t so now if i make any calls or text i’ll be charged by soul casue my number hasnt ported. So today i spent 40 mins on hold waiting for a virgin person to ask them what the go was. He told me they had no request for me to port a number.

I filled out a porting form in the virgin shop!!!!!!!!

But they had no record of that. So now i have to wait up to 5 days from now for my number to port across.

To top it off the man tells me i wont get velocity points becasue i didnt purchase online ! the man told me in the shop that it wsa all good. Frigggen shop man, velocity is the main reason i joined virgin mobile.

grrrrrrrrr bloody grrrrrrrr.

maybe sould isnt all that bad

There anrn’t many things in this world that i hate, but the things that i do hate, i hate a lot.

Like dogs and their crap.

i just stepped in dog poo bare foot, you know the feeling, the squidgy sound followed by the slightly warm play dough type feeling of it moving up between your toeas and across the bottom of your foot.

I hate dogs and their bloody poo!

I going to wear shoes for the rest of my life, even to bed.

Tonight on the way home wifie asked me to drop a letter off in someones letter box. I got out of the car and battled my way through the sky high grass towards the letter box. I popped the lettin in and began the bush bash back to the car. Then there was that squidgy sound that no one likes to hear or feel.

I trod in friggen dog crap, I hate dog crap. I’m sure most people hate it but i hate it more than most people.

The grrooves on my shoe are tiny so the crap is stuck in there for a while. I HATE DOGS, I HATE DOG POO. I HATE OWNERS OF DOGS WHO LET THEIR DOGS CRAP ANYWHERE,

in other news chicken for dinner was yum

it would seem that my parents are jerks.

there where plans to go to scotland in May next year for a bit of a ‘howie’ family get together.

And jenny and I where going to travel around scotalnd a bit with my parents and maybe share the flights over too.

Mum got me to check out quotes and things and told me what they would like to do and places to go to. Like they wanted to do a bit of europe after scotland.

So jenny and i worked out what we would like to do and thought it would be nice to drop in on kostas and eleni in greece and say hi for a few days and maybe got to holand for a few days.

There was a couple of idea being thrown around between me and mum today over the phone, then tonight i call them casue jenny and i had a new plan and dad tells me its all too hard and that our plan s dont line up and its too hard to try and make them line and that its probably best that we dont go with them, that we maybe travel at a later date when they arnt there. He said he didnt want to try and make it work.

Jerks

I told them how nice it was that he didnt want to travel with me and jenny, he just replied ‘oh well’

way to make your son feel loved.

its crap so no more overseas trip to see family and firends for howie and jenny casue we cant justify it fincially and we wanted to go to the family thing. It was a good reason for us to travel to see family but if its just for a holiday at some later stage by ourselves we cant really do it.

bloody hell!

I hope tomorrow is a better day

Soul Communications, formally trading as B Digital are poo heads.

My mobile is with them and just this month they have decided to introduce some new billing system. I have this $5.50 fee on my bill that i have no idea what it is. I called up and went through what seemed like 560 menu options, then when i sat on the phone for 10 minutes listening to crap music and recorded  messages telling me crap all. Then it began to ring and i thought you beauty. it stopped ringing and i got the following in my ear. “we are sorry, due to system difficulties we can not asnwer your call, please try again later”.

poo head dog vomit.

I’m stuck with these dogs for another 9 or 10 months.

During the day in this wide brown land you often here the sounds of a 2 stroke mower, or whipper snipper doing the rounds of a local backyard.

Between the men who operate these noisy lawn chomping machines there is an unwritten law surrounding the time of day you are allowed to begin. Sure the wife may say “Husband, go mow the lawn now” but you have to stand up to her and say “Wife, its too damn early, I must abide by the unwritten turf law”

I would say the appropriate starting time would be 9:30am and if its a sunday then maybe 10:30 is a better time to start.

This morning there was some knob in our street who started a bit before 7:30, damn thing woke me up. he must be whipper sniping the whole damn street casue he’s still going and its 9:10.

i missed out on an hour of my sleep!

Oh the joys of broken mail servers.

Smartyhost sometimes you really piss me off.

Yesterday afteroon i had to catch a train to Lindfield.

I walked to hornsby station and bought my ticket, the indicator board said there was a train in 0 minutes and if i missed that there was the next one in 1 min.

So i went down to platform 1 and there was a train sitting halfway along the platform with its doors closed. the platform was quite busy lots of people standing around wondering why they couldnt ge ton the train. then the voice from above “the train on platform 1 is broken down please proceed to platform 2 for your next city service”

so everyone prceeded up and over to platform 2.

then we heard “passengers on platform 2 waiting on the next city service please note that this service will now depart platform 1″

So back up and over we all went to platform 1.

then onto the train.

Just beofre we got to gorsnon the guard came over the PA “due to the late running of this service this train will not be stopping at killar, lindfield or roseville”

So i got off at gordon and waited for the next train, as i was waiting there was an announcment “due to the late running of the next city service it will not be stopping here at gordon”

yay!

eventually a train came that picked me up from Gordon and it did stop at Lindfield.

was just in hornsby and a friggen bird crapped on my face!

thats right the side of my face recived the wrath of a birds butt hole. What the hell did i do to that bird, nothing.

from this day forth i now officially hate birds.

A Jihad on all birds!

last night after i left jons bucks night at ‘Abduls leboniese resteraunt of fear’ i walked with sam and martin to central station to get the train back home to hornsby.

North shore line - Trackwork

Northen liine - no train for 40mins and that was all stations.

so i decided to go the north shore line bus. Good old trackwork busses you get on then sit there for 15 mins before the bus actually leaves, then when it does leave it seem to weave its way trough every bit of night roadwork it could find.

stupid trackwork / roadwork.

tonight my power supply for my ibook died.

its $129 for a new one.

dogs

Got my notice of assesment the other day from the tax man.

I have to pay $541.80

If only i had no integrity and i didnt declare the donations that people gave me.

Our beutiful city has gone to the absolute dogs.
Riots, bashings all suuposedly spurred from racial friction and unrest.
THis weekend all the beaches in sydney, wollongong and several on the central coast and newcastle will be closed. With 2,000 police ready to control the riots that are expected over the weekend. Its insane what the hell are all these people thinking.

I’m ashamed to be a sydneysider and more so i’m ashamed to be Australian. I wasnt born in Australia oh well i guess that then means that i should be bashed. “Its our country we were born here”. Ok yeah thats fare enough you were born here, just trying to recap on the last 200 years though. Is it not true that the reason you were born here was becasue your anncsestors were convicts? Or was it that your ancesstors stole the land that you now call ‘yours” from the indegenous owners of this land?

STOP THIS CRAP!
no more riots, no more bashings, no more breaking cars, no more racial slurs and comments. ITs bloody stupid just stop it!

Who cares if we have different accents or different coloured skin or different religions. We are all one country we are one people we are Australia.

oh it makes me angry that so many stupid people want to go our and bash each other. rioting will just make it worse.

all we need is tolerence, love, respect and acceptance.
4 things that are acheivable if we stop being so damn stupid and thick.

Greater Union now have allocated seating in their cinemas.

Its stupid, you have to pay more if you want to choose the seats you want to sit in. And if you pree choose a seat how does that cater for having an anoying group of teeenage boys behind you who dont shut up. you need freedom to sit in whatever seat you damn well want. Its already like $15 to see a movie.

So i’m going to write a letter to greater union and i want your help. At the top of this page there is a button that says ‘Petition’. simply click on it and fill out the form. And I will attache your comments to the letter i send to Greater Union.

What are they thinking? way to go ruin the movie going experience.

the dogs at the tax office sent me my tax return today.

i have to pay them $426.80

bunch of freakin dogs

monthly visits to my blog.

sorry for being such a dog while i was away and not blogging.

Its silly, when i was on the otherside of the world i blogged more than when i was in another state in australia.

sorry all, i am back now and i will return to blogging.

but tomorrow i got to blackstump for 3 days.

My google ads have been disabled becasue they say i have breached their terms and conditions.

Appratnly i have some bot or somethig that is generating clicks on my ads in a way to make me money.

I have no such thing i’m not smart enough to do anything like that. and even if i was smart enough i wouldnt do it.

So they have dogged me and said i can never be a part of the adsense program again and that any funds i had generated will not be given to me.

stupid, someone has dogged me!

dogs.

Well there we have it, the pansy’s won the cricket tonight.

Today in the office there was a barking dog ties to the sign post out the front. The stupid little yapping dog was going for a few minutes.
When it was time to go across to Westfield I went to the door and I think jenny opened the door anyway I said quite loudly “Hello Dog” Because I was going to give some attention the yapping dog. But as I said “hello Dog” two young ladies walked past the door.
I got the most dirty look from one of them. Obviously they though I was referring to them. Ooooops
