So its been a long time since I blogged. Almost a year infact. Has my life been any different because I havnt shared with the world all that annoys me? No infacts its only today that I remembered about this blogspot. So what the hell ill have a rant.
I looked at my previous blogs, the mot, getting a website and general annoyance at the hole process. You'll be glad to know the car passed mot and I got my web space. The bad news is, ill need more work done to the car before it gets mot'd this year and I have no use atall for the web space. Why says you? Well let's start with the website..
Having just watched the social network I came home thinking I was the next bill gates, buying domain names and web space. The problem is thought that I have no idea how to build a website. Cue me downloading dreamweaver, hoping the reviews saying how easy it was to use were true. They wernt. They were lies. Dreamweaver was like weaving a picaso on a stone with no eyesight. For dream weaver to be "easy" you either need to be a computer buff, or artistic. I'm niether. So after 2 weeks of struggling to build more than a background, which still wasn't right, I gave up. Like all good quiters I didn't do it quitely or simply. But that was not my fault. (It never is my fault), apparently I signed a contract tying me to £3 a month for webspace or sumfin. Now I must admit I probably did, unknowlingly sign up for this, but that doesn't mean I wana pay it when I have nothing in that web space. So emails are sent to the web space people saying cancle my account ect ect. No. They won't do it. Because they are vagina's. Sooo I change the name on my account to CLOSE ACCOUNT and the payment card details are edited to a different card. One that might no nesseciraliy exist. Infact it definatly doesn't. And it worked! No £3 payment coming out my bank biatch's! I did endure 3 months of daily emails saying I had overdue subscruption fee's ect and if I didn't pay my webspace would be deleted. The "mark as junk mail" sorted this problem for me and now I'm free. What did I learn? I'm not bill gates, or picasso. I'm better sticking to what I know. So many people thinking I told you so right now.
So the car you say? Why does it need work? Well I'm fairly sure that bit of the exhaust has a tiny hole in it again, fair sure, not 100%. One headlight bulb needs to be replaced and reallined. Then there is the suspension. In my wisdom I decided to lower the car by 40 mm. Myself. As you may have reliased things like this never end well. So let's just say a lot of money later, one argument with the girlfriend, losts of time spent on it, some flowers and a car for the girl and the suspension still isn't right. The top strut mount are like poking out the mounting points like erect penis's. I think one just needs pushed down and tightend, the other, I may have assembled wrong so might need a bit more work. Work that will not be done myself, I may add. Work that will cost me more money. Then when the car no doubt fails mot there will be more..

Mot..
So the car failed mot, headlights exhaust, welding, number plates. Fml. Costing like 150 to fix it. As I write this am sittin in the garage watching the guy attack my exhaust wi an angle grinder. The small hole in the sill? Is actualy a 4 inch crater. The nimber plates are switched to road legal ones now which look so wrong. I'd like to no what safety problem is caused by the hole though, its on the bodykit, which doesn't provide strength to the car. The headlight fair enough was so out of line it couldn't be measured so I get that. The exhaust was wear n tear on the flexible part, really a hole smalled than a pen but cause its a deisel was sprayin smoke out from under the car, apparently. I think the mot stations get a quota of cars to fail. So as I sit heer freezin my balls of, hungrey ( the shop isn't open for some reason) I think tbh the bus is a lot cheaper even though it takes u a random route, remotly close to where ur going, u have to wait on it and always get a stinkin junkie raving about the world ending sittin near u. Anyway time to part with my hard earned cash. Great

The saga continues.
Today I watched 5 films, all filmed in america, all with american actors. I had subway for lunch, an american brand, ate doritos, amaerican brand. Smoked a cigarette made by british american tobacco and yet I still do not have access to the amercian webhost I bought lastnyt. All I need is the user name and password but its such a hassle because its american, the bank fraud squad blocked my card and phoned me asking about all my recent transactions. Then I get an email saying they tried to phone me today. Eh no u didn't. Swift reply sent making it clear I'm in the UK and bang in the middle of writing this they phone! They confirm the details I confirmed twice this morning and that's it. Just have to wait on the user name and password being emailed to me. We can watch american shows, while eating american food, and smoke american fags but to buy a bit of there internet space apperntly is very difficult for them (and my bank) to understand. So now I have the space and address all I need to do now is create the site....

Nothings ever simple
So trying to get this website sorted lol nightmare. As I said I got the address, www.aimlessrossco.co.uk and bought webspace (storage for ur website) after eventualy figuring it all out. So thought I was good to go when I get an email saying that I have to wait on a phonecall to verify my account ( the webspace one) so I go on to the web hosters online help today, basically like a version of msn messenger and talk to jake. Who informs me the account has not been created blah blah. Then my internet cuts off so have to start all over again with charles. The saga continues. Yep so just had to fill in the same details for charles as I did with jake. And his responce? I have escaleted your issue's you will receive an email from us shortly. Thanks for your patience. Are u shitting me? After all that I have to wait on an email? So basicly am no further on than I was before haha. Greeeaaatttt

And so it begins
So start my own website? How hard can it be? Well 2 hours later I own a web address, www.aimlessrossco.co.uk and am awaiting my webspace getin verified. So now am downloading dreamweaver to make this website. Wordpress was recomended but can't start using that until my webspace is up and running. Its not quite as easy as I thought but its a new thing so am learning as a go along. Hopefully get a website set up with just random interesting stuff, news, blog, links, interesting facts, discussion boards. Who know what ill end up doing haha.
