18 Months and Counting..

It's been a relatively quiet weekend you know.. which is a good thing as batteries needed recharging and sometimes it's good just to step off the pace a little, breathe deeply and chill the fuck out. And I have, and am feeling pretty damn good for it too thank you all the same..
Not that it's been an uneventful weekend, oh no, as there have been a few items of note..
First is I the annual insurance reminder from Liverpool Victoria. Shite. Just spent money servicing the bastard car, the tax is due at the end of the month and now the fucking insurance needs doing. It never fucking rains but it pours, huh? Anyway these fuckers were the cheapest by a country mile last year, but this year they have engaged the "financial rape probe" and the premium has shot up (much like the probe, I'd imagine). So have had to spend two bastard hours looking for a more competitive quote. Now, for the first time in fucking years The AA have actually "quoted me happy" (yes I am well aware that the quote is the slogan for another insurance, but they fucking quoted me depressed so they can fuck right off!) - knocking over £50 off the quote I got from my current insurers. But, alas, could I make the purchase right away? Could I fuck. Will have to try again during business hours. Bastards, the lot of them - what a horrific necessary evil car insurance is.. It's all the fault of those fuckers who put in bogus injury claims after a little bit of whiplash becomes a sudden spinal injury once some cunt waves a compensation cash reward under their noses. Anyway, sorry, rant over.
Also off to see a preview of Constantine tonight. Frequent blog browsers may be aware that my good friend PJ got to the premiere of this flick whilst he was off globe trotting, so am taking his recommendation seriously and am parting with some hard-earned to watch the movie. If it's shite, I'll flame him publicly on his blog!! ;)
And finally, big news, we've finally booked the Wedding, it's going to be (service and reception - and if you're invited to one, you're invited to both) at Ruthin Castle. As a programmer who is fond of agile methodologies, I am taking the planning for this whole thing like an eXtreme Programming project, and am breaking down the whole project into short iterations. Well that's iteration one marked as complete, onto the next CRC card to see what needs to be done next!! Sad I know, but it does seem to be making the whole planning/paying-for process a little less daunting (trust me, there's seemingly fucking thousands of things to do when one considers the wedding as a whole!).
