INTERMISSION & iTEAM PUTTING 'i' BACK IN TEAM - PHASE 4

Well I will be a son of a gun!

I has been quite an unpredictable spring and summer so far! Started off cold and raining and then went straight from that cold, windy and wet weather into too bloody hot!

Everyone was like 'oh at last' and then into 'ooh its too hot, my children cannot sleep, we have cold showers every night!' and before long I was doing the same!

Then all of a sudden after weeks of what seemed like much more intense and brighter sunlight than usual a series of storms came making it extremely muggy and then it went cool. Only just like the Spring the cool weather has been accompanied by wind and rain?! Bar humbug!

There were some nice moments and only yesterday I was walking back from somewhere after getting a bite to eat and walking home in a westerly direction wearing sunglasses with the sun low in the sky and just the most perfect breeze! Hmm perfection!

Added to this a series of NHS run-ins and two extremely dodgy cameras, one I am still stuck with and I am waiting for the glue on the grip to dry before using it again. It had one day yesterday not being used and now I have added finishing touches....OF GLUE it has another 24 hours, sounds like a film, to dry.

I moved the laptop to the cabinet to my left thinking it would be more efficient having it there and great to work with but this was not to be. Only now and today am I typing this out while glancing into a direction that does not cause pain and dizziness after five or ten minutes. I have worked on my living room too and the Ottoman that now has a set of four Vivariums sitting on top of it as now been turned 90 degrees so if I look 90 degrees to my left I look straight at it.

The metal mesh lidding was loose on on partition and that is currently drying, if not already dry, too! I am looking forward to rigging up a set of light to my own design for these cages and indeed may end up with different wattages with each depending on what animals I keep in them.

At the moment those I would like to keep would be a Hyla (Tree-Frog), or Hyperolius (Small African Tree Frog), in another I always like those tiny Jewelled Geckos found in Egypt. Maybe even a pair Peruvian Beauty Spiders?! Now me keeping an invertebrate?! That would shock a great deal of people and would likely be the first time I have ever done it. Or at least in nearly 40 years that is for sure!

Of course there are the usual suspects that I would grab with both hands like alpestris apuanus and Bombina pachypus. The cages will take about two weeks before completion and around that time there are some reptile shows going on.

So for this year I have also NOT ordered any new Orchids, more is the pity, and no idea when I will start purchasing hardware to build the first of two PC Computers?!

Also I seem to have had a bit of a time out due to the falling apart of my Olympus Stylus SP-820UZ Camera that I wanted so badly and thought would be perfect. In some aspects it was better than the Camera it replaced, and I do not mean the faulty Nikon L310 I took back to Argos and ended up with this one, I mean the competent for what it was Nikon S8200 Coolpix. I am still trying to get over the fact that the best and most reliably performing camera is the one with the smallest objective lens?! Bloody unbelievable. Anyway the grip of the Olympus finally fell off entirely with the gentlest of tugs. I spent two days gluing it back on but did not work due to the cheap nasty sticky rice paper like substance they use to glue things to heir cameras?! Yuck. So I am now on the third day of having no camera and I have now used an epoxy resin to glue the grip on as previous attempts with rubber cement (plumbing glue more or less lol) and silicone sealant have been quite unsuccessful in all honesty. The funny thing is if the epoxy resin work it only takes 5 minutes to harden and I could grab the camera and go out. Only it is 9.22am now and has been raining for 30 minutes and according to the Met Office app, which is admittedly WRONG 80% of the time, will continue to rain until 7pm tonight and as I cycle everywhere and do not possess the necessary waterproof gear to protect both me and my equipment then it is a no, no. That is one reason I always look at the Pentax K-30 SLR, think that is what it's model name is, as it is waterproof and would be good for what I do. Only I also want to do detailed close up shots and so the Nikon D800E SLR is also wanted.

But out of the four main CAMERA companies Pentax and Canon are the only ones that have not screwed me thus far. I used to love Pentax when I was a youngster and wanted to get into photography, somehow ended up with a Minolta X-300 but I still loved it. But I am still a while away from getting the equipment I really need to move these blogs up a couple of notches so I am not sweating yet over the choices, lol. Besides by then there may well be another waterproof Pentax that does all that the D800E can. Or the D800E will be more affordable?! YEAH RIGHT!!

So what with the NHS, people who have the audacity to call themselves Doctors, the weather being too hot, too windy or too wet I have been somewhat...held up and am admittedly behind where I thought I would be at this juncture. Still it matters not as this has just turned out to be a damned good start for 2014. In fact by the time 2014 comes around I should be in the water and swimming like a fish?! Well unless there is the most glaringly obvious and hugest Internet rip off of authors that has somehow been missed by smart investigative journalists, TV News Networks and Ombudsman?! Ooh wait a moment?

As for what has been posted at different stage up until this point things are all honest and above board and EXACTLY how I wanted to play it. I wanted to wax philosophical when I was in that mood, type when angry when I was in that mood too and anything else I was feeling at the time along the way. This would no doubt have used some choice language but that was what I felt at the time and I type 'from the hip' and just the way I like to do things. I did not want it or me looking manufactured and still do not nor will I ever will. I suppose the time it has taken so far kind of works for me as it seems to play along long enough so that what I do or fail to do matches the economy, in the UK at any rate, and if there is ever an improvement or drop then I should feel it?! We all should those of us that exist online to one degree or another and collectively this should be able to be used in our favour.

Along the way I have tried very hard to show that when you do not work as a team effort then as a nation we will go backwards. I am having a guess that the majority of us, like those that said it after Concorde was grounded, that we have gone backwards and none feel that more than the British Public do?! We pay more than anyone else and then find out it is either refurbished and used crap or of extremely bad build quality in the first place?! NICE, talk about getting two fingers up in your face after handing over your hard cash?! Except what I find both amusing and worrying at the same time is that either I live in a nation of extremely naïve people or many media moguls are being bribed up to the teeth to pressure the journalists into submission?! There simply are no other reasons involved and I have been seeing this stuff for what now seems like an eternity. I just did not know just how widespread it really all was and that I found quite disgusting.

So we get hammered and told about team work and team player when what they actually have meant over the last two or three decades is following orders no questions asked! No idiots and morons that is NOT what the word team means you bloody dicks! The government along with the previous one that showed us nothing more than a struggle between Tony Blair, who now looks very dodgy indeed, and Gordon Brown, who I trusted even less, and continued with the new Siamese Twins of David Cameron and Prince George Osborne is a new initiative and idea that has been in place since the inception of that famous Apple invention called the iPod. Indeed and look so many other since they have secretly copied the name of this fashionable device and implemented it into their new code name for the initiative as well as the sub-title.

iTEAM – Putting the 'I' Back in TEAM!

LMAO.

The only thing that I hope and pray is that the British Public learns from this but also that the GOVERNMENT learn from this that you have been heading down this road now since 1979 and look where it has brought us?! We are not at a juncture where it seems like before very long now (January 2014) it would seem like it has been so bad for so very long that we will have forgotten or started to forget when it was good?! Well not me, lol. If this is them matched with the problem of not being able to foresee an end and after a third and most miserable of all previous Christmases going back 3 years or more then this will have a devastating effect on the human psyche in an increasingly and ever growing number of individuals?!

Of course if you behave like the intelligent human beings you believe yourselves to be than you will read, listen and then most importantly ACT!

This is better for me as and IF done correctly and things improve I will make my own income SOONER instead of LATER!!

Hmm I wonder if they, my enemies, have tried using the excuse that I have tried to CAPITALIZE on the recession both national and global to make money or a name for myself?! Well if so …. TSK-TSK!! TUT-TUT!! Still no forethought and just scribbling silly notes on napkins?! No I am sorry it does not work like that and I just kind of blew to bits any possibility of that have I not?! No I only want to change things for the better or die trying?! Well either that or a nice foreign country that does for its people the honest and decent thing would like to give me refuge?! LOL.

So until such a time I am still minus a few items that in themselves will allow me to spend around two months really and heavily putting content on my dozen blogs that will cause it to sky rocket. This is because I have, and always have had, an ability to instinctively know what people want and provide them with it. I can also hold people's attention with my telling of tales that could well pace me in some Guild of the Bards?! I can do this in both factual things as well as fictional too and you can chuck in a whole list of sciences to boot! I can also join up the dots that seems to have impressed seemingly impossible to impress people since I was 14?! Well you had better do a rummage around on here as there are nearly 1000 posts just on this blog alone you know?! LMAO!

Yes these items, sorry I digress. Yes there are a number of things that will allow me to absolutely mount a unbelievable charge at this point in time that I could not ever look back from without getting light headed! Despite the fact I still have no TV and therefore not really able to enjoy my Blu-Ray Discs in GLORIOUS 1080p magnificence the highest priority right now is...

  1. NIKON D800E SLR CAMERA + Telephoto and Macro Lenses
  2. CBoardman Mountain Bike in Halfords @ £850 which will lose 7lbs on current weight
  3. Out of current reach building blocks to at least ONE PC Build
    a) One for work and intended to become a SERVER RIG
    b) Another enthusiast GAMING RIG as this is my HOBBY (YESSS OK ONE OF THEM LOL) and would rocket my Computing blog among others!
Now with those three things as a basis then everything takes off and within just two to three months I will quadruple the numbers I am currently getting. This is just not achieved by anyone and now I know I am building up a high level of trust in everything I say and do among the people that read. In fact one one blog that sits alone and without advertising on it or ever intended to be placed I am now seemingly acquiring followers ever day or two?! I also know that this will increase as more and more see my blog listed on others blogs and have their interests peaked! I also know that within a few weeks of this building up the temperature will be cooling down, well in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, so that much of the UK, EUROPE and the USA will gradually and increasingly depending on their latitude (i.e. outdoor temperature/weather) spend more time indoors on the Internet. So If I was to hazard a guess this will start around September and October in the North of Scotland and increase as these cold temperatures work their way south.

Hmm, you see?! Many things rattling around in my head all the time I have to keep track of and make sense of! Sometimes I see a documentary and it covers something I do and I know that it will peak my numbers for a while. This is getting harder to predict as I have posted about a certain thing a number of times and lose track of how many! LOL.

Added to acquiring those three I also have a set of four glass Vivariums I intend to create the perfect environment for particular species of animals I love. Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, Newts, Lizards or even SNAKES?! SSSSSSS!! LOL. I also have my one metre aquarium sitting empty but set up and only needs the addition of FISH!!! The three bas items I listed above will allow me to do much more work and get much more content for these too and a great deal quicker to boot?!

Of course there are other items I am without and that would help with boredom, Billy-No-Mates (died or ran away), painful chores I have a dreadful habit of not being able to do or avoiding because I know it will hurt...

  1. Samsung Series 7 46” TV
  2. HQ Blu-Ray Player
  3. Dishwasher but will have to be tiny as I am CRAMPED here
  4. One of those little automatic vacuums, lol. How cool and hoe helpful.
  5. Litespeed Occoe with Mavic SLR Rims, Red Magura Marta SL Brakes, SRAM XX Gears, XTR or Carbon Chain-set, DT Swiss Carbon Forks 80-100mm travel, RaceFace Carbon FLAT BARS, Ritchey WCS Carbon Seat-post, Selle Italia Gel Saddle and Crank Brothers Egg-Beater 4TI pedals in ORANGE (preferably red if poss)
    (This is just to replace the one that was stolen by a council and bailiff they got £2,800 for but told me they got £400 for and was also featured with my name in What Mountain Bike Magazine)

What I think is the very sad and the extremely disgusting part about all this is the fact that it has taken me years of being lied to, tricked, physically attacked, defrauded, left in limbo and left for DEAD just to get to this juncture. In just a couple of weeks time in August my corruption blog would have been going one year, well one of the corruption blogs lol. Around ten others were started around September to October in 2012. So for the injustice section alone I have been at this now almost a year which is a tiny fraction to the period of time I have REALLY been on it. This became a large focus as of around 8 years ago and most of my time around 4 years back but technically goes back twenty years. But lets us just take the last year alone and the amount of time it has taken me to highlight all this to the point that segments and elements of my WORK, as that IS what it IS, is being used by one and all from the House of Commons to the tabloids and TV News broadcasters without so much as an acknowledgement. This is to which I believe is the sole reason that many religious leaders, IN THE UK before you all start lol, now see the UK and it's government as being run by evil people that must be Satan worshippers?!
That funny part about all this and to put it simply to those that used elements of my blogs, and proof positive yet again to my over the top accusations of blindness to the point of incompetent and just too easy to beat...

...you have used elements of my blogs and either released bits of info or then proceeded to investigate and got your own info but did it not occur to anyone that used my work and blogs that you are NOT the only ones that have access to these blogs?! STUPIDOLA!! LOL.

Now I have mentioned this several times going back a year now and I cannot stress enough that first off I am NOT in anyway religious, which should be obvious, but at the exact same time Satan Worshippers DO EXIST!! LMAO!

Just as I could not do when it was said to me by a rather and unusually nice Jehovah's Witness, I laughed and said that for once I can not argue with them!

So here we are at the midsummers night night NIGHTMARE scenario and one has to wonder with the run-up to the umpteenth miserable Christmas, when for the first time in twenty years I want mine to be joyous, what is going to happen?!

Although there were some protests and small scale rioting I was relieved about that and I did think it would be a great deal worse then it worse, though I was working to try and show this was just folly. Well just going out and destroying the very buildings that you will then be charged for and they will then use to defraud the public's cash yet again, lol.

This cannot be put off indefinitely but at least this blog now exists as a pure fact and proof that IF the public were pushed into such an act of protest and destruction the likes of which had never been seen then I am here to say that … IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!

I know that an action such as this is only human nature. No amount of sentencing, fines, prison terms or anything else is going to stop human nature, 'NUFF SAID! To punish human nature while those that have deliberately stoked the fires for so very long know so that they can then make others look like they are to blame, destructive and criminal and therefore not worth of any compassion is wrong, immoral and something of a contradiction in itself.

If the tables were turned they would behave the EXACT SAME WAY and therefore they need to be show that having money and power DOES NOT make them a different species to everyone else, just because you have not been put in the position to feel and fear as we have done. Carrying on like that and throughout history, including very recently, it always ends up that those that do not understand end up completely understanding when it is too late. Well it was too late for Colonel Gaddafi who took a bullet to his head! Though I do not think the British will go quite that far but fear for ones life is definitely a possibility! It is called an UPRISING these days but it used to be known as a REVOLUTION and was kind of synonymous with Russia for a long time. In the UK it is only known as the long winded … CRIMINAL ACTS OF A MASS SCALE.


Hmm that is bizarre? Anyone else note how all Dictator's always refer to it as criminal and terrorists and never use the 'R' word?! No not 'RECESSION' but 'REVOLUTION'?! Hmm must be the 're' prefix to these words?! I wonder if the UK government also plan on erasing words with an 're' prefix from history and dictionaries along with the word DISABILITY?! LMAO!

THE STEEL AND THE KNIGHT

Well here is a strange one?!

Yes and wow I can't wait and all other expletives you can think of...

...but where dues this leave the Justice League movie?!

As this had been announced for the year in which people were quoting the launch of the Justice League I now, target sadly, cannot see a Justice League film until at least 2016?!

A shame if this is true and an odd decision. Sadly going for the money really and not the fans. I would rather see a Justice League movie. As a kid I was not big on Batman, but Iron Man, but they made great movies. I always saw the team up of Superman and Batman as a but one sided.

Thinking about it realistically all the characters of the Justice League have either bombed slightly, Green Lantern and unfairly, or are unknown quantities. Well Aquaman gets the Mickey taken out of him by Seth Farlane. Wonder Woman needs an upgrade of sorts or modernising and a little 1970's and campish, lol.

As I said previously there are many others in the Justice League roster other than the original line up of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Aquaman and The Martian Manhunter, Jon Jonezz. The latter could make for a good film and I still believe Green Lantern can do better at the box office! There wad the Firestorm character who became a member and several others over the years.

Now some fans may state that this is not accurate to the comics but only very recently I was reminded of something I had long since forgotten! In a conversation with a mate of mine called Steve we got confused over issue Number One of the Justice League. He remembered the cover quite well and I remembered it differently?! It turns out that he was right and I was wrong...slightly, lol.

Basically I remembered a starfish on the cover and a giant one with an eye in the middle? So we looked then up and it turned out that the Justice Leagues first difference was not in the first issue of their series but that of another! I think it was actually the Brave And The Bold which I think was also the series Batman first appeared. Either that or it could of been World's Finest series, I cannot recall now. Anyway the point I wanted to make was that which I had forgotten while getting list in the annals of history, super heroes and childhood. What I had FORGOTTEN was that neither Superman or Batman were in the ORIGINAL JUSTICE LEAGUE LINEUP?!

Oh and the starfish was called Starro, lol.

Now you think a little detail like that one would remember?! LMAO!

Batman and Superman to team up http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23394229

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES




I was worried about this move due to the fact people complained that Bats does not appear for 45 minutes but I liked it and I did not mind that.

Like Iron Man 2 I felt it did have a fight scene missing though but it was a good story and I bought this and watched it purely because of the same kind of team behind the new Superman move Man of Steel!

This team does seem to like removing the original and obvious hero names from the titles as Batman disappeared after the first film and of course you now have Man of Steel too.

What does irk me though is how they seem to do the secondary characters outfits a bit half hearted and in that I mean Catwoman, though it was miles better than the Halle Berry one.

I loved the story in this and I loved Bane too, despite not being familiar with him from the comics either! Though I did not like the fact that they wrapped up this movie like you had seen Batman from beginning to end until he retires and hangs up his ears?!

Oh come on now?! No Penguin?! No Riddler?! LMAO!

In the case of secondary heroes or super heroes not getting attention to their outfits well for one thins despite Catwomans being a half hearted attempt then Robin's was totally non existent altogether so according to the Nolan Universe Robin never actually existed at all and was just a cop?! Would have worked better had he NOT been who he was and just an average cop.

I do not know if in later years Robin Blake took over the Batman role or not but just seemed not very well thought out. Still it was enjoyable enough though despite that and really hard to split this one from its previous film over which is the better.

Of course now the talk is that a Justice League movie will be tricky with Bats and Christian Bale supposedly retiring. I read on some forums of people saying that the chap who played Robin would take over the Batman role and is why I wondered if he indeed did in the comics.

HOWEVER, the one thing that really did save all that is the suggestion that he had NOT retired at all as he was thinking of taking on a partner and why he guided Robin to the Bat Cave.

Alfred's fretting over Bruce Wayne risking his life would not be half as bad knowing there were TWO Batmans, so to speak, watching each other's back?!

Anyway that was what I liked to think at the end and that they would come back to this story with a Robin, or Nightwing with him?

Even better still would be a Teen Titans movie but if that comic no longer exists it is not likely to happen.

But we have TWO Marvel groups in films now what with X-Men and Avengers and even a third with the Guardians of the Galaxy! DC needs to catch up and I hope they do as each universe has their own gems and it is all good to the fans but young and old like me, lol.

But other than Teen Titans, Justice League and its various spin off groups and Legion of Super Heroes which was set in the future with the main charcters grandchildren, well Mon-El being Kal-El's grandson with a crap outfit, and a load of really cool super heroes like Wildfire and my favourite Starboy.

IRON MAN 2



Hmm finally I get to write something about another comic book movie and this time around I finally get to see Iron Man 2 after being put off from buying it due to reviews.

To be honest I thought it was OK but what let it down for me were two things and one is despite the action at the end it felt very light on it until then. I felt it missed a action sequence/battle involving Iron Man!

Indeed that leads me onto the next thing I found irritating and that is the party scene which despite the interesting part of the story line where he his having these internal battles it was just a bit too much and a bit too far.

If that was edited down and an action scene was in it would have received an extra star than those it received.

Also there is another factor with Iron Man and maybe this is down to me just not being into him with the comics but at this point there has been two films and not a single identifiable bad guy for me.

In fact the bigger badder bad guys have been totally absent this far in the movies albeit with glimpses of them and this includes Galactus the Cloud, A Sentinels head and Thanos' mug for around 5 seconds at the end of Avengers.

I still hope for a proper Silver Surfer movie at some point and hope that if the studio that did the Fantastic Four films ARE going to reboot it and therefore hold onto the rights of the Silver Surfer but do nothing with it I will be madder than hell?!?! LMAO!

Indeed they need to do a better surfer and by that I mean sort out that rubbish they did in the movie about his board as well as what it looked like! There are no American's on Norin Radd's planet it is just an oblong board! With THREE LINES running down its centre.

DOES SUPERMAN GET A SECOND WIND

Well this is annoying as I still have a couple  of films to do of recent purchases and I do need to get around buying others too.

I do like talking about films and analyzing them provided some intelligence has gone into making them.

Or some twat director or write thinks he is bigger and better than the person who came up with the winning formula, changes everything, the film BOMBS OUT and studios are shit scared to spend the money on that are any other similar thing from the same stable?!

Thank heavens that is now well and truly over now?!

So a successful Man of Steel would mean a sequel and a Justice League movie and this appears to be happening. Was worrying when no sooner had these two films got the green light, from a Green Lantern per chance, that MoS suffered a big drop in takings. Big being an understatement that is!

Still I though that it would then level out for awhile and having staying power while those (fools?) that jumped in to watch something else upon its release a week later, then went and watched Superman the following week. Who knows but it did pass the $500 Million mark and for a movie that took a big drop in America the following week is something of a surprise.

What I have found amusing is some of the disagreements that have broken out in various forums whereas if the speclate that it may make more money than some OTHER hero, like one of Iron Man's movies for instance then fans of those movies break out in a cold sweat and react as if they just caught you in bed with their mother?! I mean really over the top stuff, name calling mud slinging, God I really do hate forums. Even when you are so narked by something someone says that you want to go in and cool the situation or put the record straight they will call you a troll!

A troll was given to someone who just goes around forums looking to go in and cause trouble but everybody takes these terms over time and starts flinging them about like it is fashionable to do so?! Lol.

I missed clips of the new Wolverine film and hope that one is better than the last one?! Next up is the X-Men Days of Future Past but I really hope that they do not screw this up, like Bryan Singer did with Superman Returns. Though not a bad movie it should have been better and yes well doing the disappearing act and super son was together a bit much and acted like too much of a dork as Clark Kent for me. Days of Future Past really is one of the most important and classic stories in X-Men's history but at least there were several. I am just confused why it is Bryan Singer and not the guy that did X-Men:First Class when that was so popular and successful?

Get it wrong and I think I know what will happen, there will be a backlash from the fans, especially as The Avengers movie now exists, and they will be forced to give back the rights to Marvel. AT least then after the Avengers sequel they can concentrate on rebooting the X-Men?!

Now despite the fact I want the next film to be bloody fantastic and not another re-write of a re-write of X-Men's history books, the very idea of a Marvel controlled X-Men movie in the making what be enough to cause restless nights and dreams of Alpha Flight, Dark Phoenix and her real death on a moon and that one that took place in space where they are on these huge creatures that double up as ships and travel around....wait a minute that sounds like an episode of something else I watched a couple years back?!

LMAO!

Of the Justice League lot as much as it would be a great idea to stick to the original line up it is entirely possible to bring on no end of other interesting characters besides. Interestingly there is the Justice League Dark group too I only found out about recently. But there were many other great characters that joined up with the Justice League over time. One of which was one whose comic series I bought and that was Firestorm. Oddly enough I see that the current line up in the X-Men has none other that the Marvel version of Aquaman?! He is known as the Sub-Mariner or Namor and there has been talk of a movie with him too!

Of the solo films the Flash would be interesting if done right and so would Wonder Woman. Personally I would like to see another Green Lantern only with a bit more effort put into it. I liked the first movie but I have to agree it could have been better.

Hmm that new Thor: Dark World movie should be out before very long too?!
