My HTC One X on O2 has finally received Jelly Bean *shakes fist at o2". Feels a bit different. Definitely faster, what was green is now blue. Google speak is fun, I like the gallery "events" bit and the new keyboard is better. All seems very polished and nice. Need to go have a look to see what the actual updates for Jelly Bean include and what HTC ones there were too as I noticed sense updated to "4+". Seen as I just got updated I tried this. LOL WTF was that about an iPad. I also asked her to do a barrel roll and she done it : peace:

Great thread. A year can bring lots of different ups and downs, I've had quite a busy one work wise but a good one up to end of November when everything went to shit. Some highlights from me from the year: I've lived most of this year between London and Belfast which has been incredible. Had lots of highs in Belfast Seeing the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey team win the league and being there cheering them on in March Seeing one of my favourite bands, The Maccabees play a small gig in a pub in Belfast Latitude festival in July, despite the mud it was brilliant Going to the Paralympics and seeing GB pick up a few golds. Amazing. being an usher at one of my best friends Wedding in August Then the end of November and the end of my 7 year relationship with my girlfriend. Cheated on me and left me. Heart breaking. Crap Xmas cos of the above 2013 new start.

I'm with you Ashley. I'm the only one out of the 9 of my close friends who is now single. The rest are either married, have kids or live together. I'm that fucking gooseberry now and it's a horrible feeling.

Sturridge also signed for Liverpool. United have sent little Henriquez out on loan to Wigan. Should do well there, be good to see him get some action and experience. Joshua King also gone to Blackburn on a permanent deal. Shame but he never started to show his potential.

Just got back from seeing this. 2D of course. I loved it, I really did. The time flew by and it certainly didn't feel like I was sitting there that long at all. Could have easily done it all in one sitting. Favourite bits were the action towards the end and of course the scenes with Gollum. Just Awesome.

Been struggling last few days with it being Christmas and all. Feel very lost and alone and definitely do not feel in the Christmas mood. I also hate facebook, it's now a major part of breaking up with someone due to all the linked family and friends and photos. GAAAHHHHH

Rooney was poor and it was baffling that Valencia went off first before him. I actually thought Giggsy done well when he came on and he was needed. Steadied the midfield and created some good chances which we should have finished. But yes you are right we need to move on from the oldies and have faith in the youngsters which has always been the United way. For now though, I still think there is a place for Giggs and Scholes but they shouldn't be starting games. 1-1 not bad to be honest considering how we played and we are still 4 points clear. Have faith Flinkington. Have faith.

Finally got around to watching the new Spider-man. I really liked it. I was a bit miffed when it was first announced and didn't quite understand why they would want to do a reboot of a film that hadn't really been out that long. But it works and I much prefer it to the other one(s) if I'm honest. One thing I found funny was that on one street there was so many buildings that were having work done that needed cranes on their roofs. Amazing construction rate, whoever runs the company that owns those cranes must be making a mint just off that one street... :P I shall now look forward to the sequels and will probably go to the cinema to see them now.

Decided to read up on the Mayans as I was bored/interested and I stumbled upon some of their symbols which apparently symbolise the end of the world/calender. Found this one which apparently is of a crocodile spewing up water over human kind and thus flooding the earth bringing on Doomsday. (No idea who interprets this shit). *looks out window* Rain and floods. Oh wait.....

Indeed. So in that case, work out the prices for club 1 + parking etc and compare with club 2. If you are only going to play squash then the cheaper option is obviously better. Club 2 may be closer but 20 minutes journey is not that far at all really. If you are only going to save a small amount of money by going to club 1 as parking + petrol adds up then you then need to weigh up the travel time. That could put you both off from going especially if tired from work etc whereas if it is just around the corner you will probably be more inclined to go and have more motivation to do so. Plus no limit on times. Or... find a wall in an alleyway? :P

But they have a swimming pool What does Ine think?

I think you're talking yourself into club 2. ;-)

Will you use the other facilities at club 2? If so then that is clearly the better deal my flinkington. I know people who pay shed loads for just a gym membership like 80 squids or more. You're getting a lot for your money at club 2. If you just want to purely play squash then it's probably better to go club 1 and save some moolah. These are tough times after all and every penny counts!

Ronaldo is going to ruin us. But you've got to beat the best to be the best so bring it on!

Loving Jake Bugg at the minute. In particularly this song:

I was doing a bit of project work for Lloyds. Love your wee country

I have one this year. A Belfast Giants one. Been doing some work in Belfast over the past couple of years and got really into the Ice Hockey. Picked this up the other day, only a couple of quid and pretty basic but I love it.

Thanks for all the kind words and advice good people of N-E. This website has been part of my life for like 11-12 years under it's different names, longer than any girlfriend. I love you all.

During the working week I generally get around 6-7 hours sleep and although I feel tired when I first awake, after a shower and some brekkie I'm fine. Ideally I reckon I need 9 hours. That's generally what I get at weekends and wake up naturally without an alarm and feel fresh. I am rubbish at going to sleep though. Too much running through my head, then when I get into bed I watch some tv or muck about with my phone or read. I generally lay in bed for at least an hour before trying to go to sleep. Bad habit that I can't seem to shift.

Cheers chaps. The most hurtful thing is that after 6 and half years she treated me with no respect. Ok so you have feelings for someone else. It happens. How about you two show some dignity and hold off fucking each other and speak to me first, the person you need to deal with. I financed her life for the past few years as she has no money, I done everything for her and shared so much of my life with her and get treated like that. Horrible roller coaster of emotions. Gotta try and cancel the whole Vegas trip too, I don't want to go on my own!

Hai. So, my girlfriend of 6 and a half years and who I was going to ask to marry me when we were in Vegas for new year has left me. Heart broken. Give me some love N-E. It ended on quite bad terms. She said she had fallen out of love with me. She loves me but not like that anymore..... AND she said she had been cheating on me for the past few months with someone we know and has feelings for him and wants to be with him. What a shitter eh? Completely out of the blue too. We had been pretty happy over the past 6 and half years and even right up until she broke it off I thought we were fine and was planning shit for her birthday in 2 weeks. She was obviously putting up a good front. None of my friends thought anything was wrong either. I picked her up from work 2 fridays ago and got the "we need to talk" line. I feel absolutely devastated. Fuck women. She was the one, we were to be married and it still all goes wrong. Can't be arsed anymore.

Are Google the only ones selling the Nexus 10? I can't seem to find any other websites selling it even if it is currently out of stock.

I'm excited at the thought of 7, 8, 9 being done. They could be done very well if the story and characters are correct but I'm not sure of them milking it every few years with further movies. Could be good to expand the universe and explore other avenues but then it could just get too much and the quality could drop and all go a bit shit. I'm a massive Star Wars fan and I see this as a positive thing at the moment. Far too early to pass judgement.

Sir Cube. You have made me happy.
