Well I have started to 'read' or is that listen to audio books, its possible now to download an app which will read the book while its on your phone, which can be handy for long boring bus journeys, the only problem I see, is the limited selection, I put in loads of serches and the book was not there, maybe they will beecome available in time, which I guess will be good for other users. I guess also the selection is limited as reading a book is much more popular than listening to one.  I have also used ebooks the selection is limited there too but not as limited as audiobooks, I guess the change from the paper version of a book will take time, but the sooner it happens, I guess the trees will be glad.  There will be no need to bookshelves then, and there will not be a library as such I guess, though the day when books are not in print will still take a while to get here I reckon. The main issue with audiobooks is staying awake I find, especially if the person reading the thin

Its been a bad day on the sporting front today.  The football team I follow, which is Chelsea, could only manage a draw against a poor West Ham Utd side, I guess it typifies the season the team has had, how far it has fallen in just a few months really. Also the England rugby team managed to win the Grand Slam with the help of a Welsh referee, which is ironic really, maybe he was trying too hard not to be bias, I guess he is only human.

I am still a bit pissed off with tutor at the coll

A bit of shit day all in all, I guess it didn't help that I had broken the mobile phone so was in a hurry to fix it, which proved a bit tricky in relation to finding someone to do it.  I phoned around and some did did fix phones and others didn't.  The ones who did wanted a large amount of money. Anyway, I decided to take the phone to Bangor, on the bus.  When starting from Porthmadog, I got the urge to go the loo, but I was too late to had to hold on for another 15 miles or so, and the driver was driving like he was in funeral.  After being to the loo I need to get another bus to Bangor, I eventually go there, hoping the guy in the shop could fix the phone today, no chance, the part has to be ordered on, so will take few days, I have to go back there in a few days therefore and not looking forward to that journey again On the way back, the bus I got, did not connect with the bus it was suppose to, so this pissed me off too, and I ended up walking the 3 miles home, as I did
