The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe’en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before “All Hallows’ Day” (also known as “All Saints’ Day”). The festival is also known as Samhain to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish & Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx.
Well it’s that time of year again, so Happy Halloween!
I’ve managed to get cover for work tonight and booked tomorrow off, so I’ll be going to a fancy dress party tonight! We’ve been promised free drinks and apple bobbing. What more can you want eh? 
I’ve already got my costume, as I’m going as Riff Raff, from the Rocky Horror show. ( Well it seems a shame to only wear it once. ) I just hope it’s not too cold tonight as the jackets see through and rather open! Still, I should get some extra points for scaring people with my wearwolf like chest! 
I’ve got a lot of work to do in the mean time so I’ll leave you with ….
Things You Shouldn’t Say On Halloween …
10. She’s a goblin!
9. I’d like to get a little something in the sack.
8. Let me see your bag….OH! You’re having a great night!
7. Just get on your hands and knees and bob your head.
6. She’s got a couple of nice pumpkins on her porch.
5. If you just lick it, it’ll last longer.
4. Is it Halloween? Again? Fuck me.
3. Have your mum check it before you put it in your mouth…
2. You scared me stiff!
1. He’s got Candy spread out on the living room floor!
Have a good night everyone.

Apple has come up with an ingenious way of getting rid of the competition. Simply put a Windows based virus on your hottest selling product the iPod.
The RavMonE.exe worm found its way onto the iPods’ hard drives while the players were being assembled by one of Apple’s contracted manufacturers. Apple said that less than one per cent of the iPods sold after 12 September contain the infection.
‘As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it,’ the statement says.
So basically, even though we messed up, it’s still Microsofts fault for being crap. Seems fair.
It now looks like McDonalds is trying the same thing. McDonalds Japan has been forced to recall some MP3 players given away as prizes that were infected with spyware.
About 10,000 people are thought to have been sent the MP3 players that had onboard a copy of the QQPass spyware program that logs keystrokes and sends data back to criminal hackers.
So now McDonalds is bad for your health and your computer.
Some days I’m happy to own a Mac…

I sometimes think, did I do that? I look back and say,
“No-one else would!”

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds sin circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine in the night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I was listening to the radio earlier because my last unscratched cd has started to skip ( need new cd’s - hint ), and I heard McFlys new song Star Girl. I really don’t like their music but one of their lyrics made me laugh…
Hey, there’s nothing on Earth that could save us,
When I fell in love with Uranus.
Sadly when they sing it, it sounds like…
Hey, there’s nothing on Earth that could shave us,
When I fell in love with your anus.
:)
It wasn’t just me that noticed this, on the way back from work, Radio 1 played it again. They received so many texts mentioning the ’special’ lyrics that they rang McFly up to ask them about it!
Apparently it’s all perfectly innocent. Jupiter didn’t sound as good.
I’m having none of that, I think it’s a secret love message from the lead singer to the drummer or ‘Brown Star Girl’ as the rest of the band call him.
But what do I know…

Frank has built and lost his creature
Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet
The servants gone to a distant planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I want to go
Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show.

Not long now till I’m off to see the Rocky Horror Show in Bristol! I spent most of tonight finishing off my costume. Before you say anything, I will be going as Riff Raff, the “faithful handyman”, so no stockings and knickers are needed. Thankfully!
I’ve booked half a days holiday for today, so I can go home and get ready rather than change at work. Much to the disappointment of some of my work mates! Although they’ve seen me in worse!
I’m a little nervous, but my costumes tame compared to what most people will be wearing. Carl’s dressing up as Dr. Frank N. Furter, the “sweet transvestite from transexual, Transylvania”! Thankfully he’s not getting the bus to Bristol!
Anyways, I’ll put some photo’s up soon on my gallery for you to look laugh at later.

As most of you know, I stayed in this weekend ( shock, horror! ) so in the extra free time I had, I created a new layout for my blog. It’s still a work in progress but it’s getting there.
There’s not really much to say at the moment as I’ve not done anything this week bar work. I’m already looking forward to next Friday when I finish being on call!
Anyway, I hope everyones well and had a good weekend. I’ll update again as soon as something exciting happens…..
