myBLOG-Online

I’m not sure why, but…

I’m back on myspace after spending a month away, but I am very selective of who I add to my friends list, I currently have five carefully chosen people on my friends list. I have also implemented some security so anyone that wants to add me needs to know my surname (yes I realise my surname is written on the blog) or email address and bands can not add me at all (shame I cant stop them messaging me as well), I want to keep the myspace limited to friends. But I find it quite amusing that after just one day, I’ve had 14 spam messages saying that I should join this dating site, and that I won’t regret it, so guess that makes me “lonely and desperate for a roll in the hay” and I have had a woman contacting me asking me to contact her on her email address. I sent a message back asking why she wants me to contact her via email. Then she asks for my email address so she can send me a picture of herself. So I send another message back saying I am not going to divulge my email address just yet and that we can stay in contact via myspace until we get to know each other better, and I am currently waiting her reply! Nothing ever changes on myspace really, the usual outages and errors are still abundant, spam and phishing scams, you know the ones, when you click home from someone elses page, you get sent to a fake login screen, it’s amazing how many people actually fall for it. Here’s a tip, myspace will never ask you to login again unless you close your browser down, so if this happen, look at the address bar, it’ll say something other than www.myspace.com, don’t fall for it kids. These phishers will use your account to spam all your friends with bulletins for ringtones, dating/sex sites and other general bollocks.

Things aren’t looking good for England in the second test against India, England have just been bowled out for 198 after India won the toss yesterday and elected to put England into bat on a greasy wicket. And the Indians certainly made good use of the ripe bowling conditions; England finished the first day 169 – 7. It was inevitable that England’s innings today wouldn’t last long with only tail enders Sidebottom, Panesar and Anderson to turn over, so the final first innings total was a rather unimpressive 198 all out. Only Alistair Cook, Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell put up any resistance scoring 43, 28 and 31 respectively, all out in less than 66 overs, not good by any stretch of the imagination. It’ll be cruel if England lose this test after being robbed of the win in the first test by the English weather! I think that the English players will be doing a rain dance if India post a decent total. India are currently 18 for 0 moving along at 6 runs per over; the England bowlers will have to do better if they are to have any hope of getting any sort of result from this test.

As I said earlier in the week I bought three DVDs from Play.com, The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Saw III and Men In Black II, and yesterday I had them delivered and I have to say I was quite disappointed with Tokyo Drift. Many people have said it’s a movie too far, they should have stopped at the first sequel and having watched it, I totally agree, it’s more of the same, just that it features drift racing instead of 1/4 mile drag racing. It’s not a bad film, if this was a standalone movie then it would have worked, but as part of a trilogy it doesn’t, it’s all been seen before even if Vin Diesel does make a cameo at the end. The first movie was original and of course featured the larger than life Vin Diesel, but for £7 I can’t grumble. Now we come to Saw III, which was brilliant, very gruesome, much more blood and guts than the previous two movies which starts as it means to go on with Detective Matthews hacking off his own foot to free himself from the shackles he was left in at the end of Saw II. I’m not normally effected by horror flicks, but Saw III had me watching in shock as the story unfolded. Not sure whether this is correct or not, but it seems like it was meant to be a trilogy as Saw III incorporated parts of Saw and Saw II into the plot! Probably the best shock horror movie I have ever seen, and the door was left open for a fourth movie, but I won’t spoil it for those that haven’t seen the movie yet! I definitely recommend seeing this one, not one for a squeamish. Not much to say about Men In Black II, much the same as MIB, more of the save the Earth/Universe formula, an amusing watch, but nothing new.
