			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyway, now that I&#8217;ve finished twittering, my life story over the last few weeks&#8230;</p>
<p>Had exams for a long looooong time back, but they&#8217;re finally over <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  I had my last exam on Tuesday afternoon, and then went out drinking. Well, not straight away.</p>
<p>Myself, Dom and Taylor had been told in no uncertain terms that we had to go to Cheshire show, but we couldn&#8217;t get on the coach due to everyone else leaving whilst our exam was on. Problem. Me driving to Cheshire show (fast) after the exam &#8211; solution!</p>
<p>It all started well, plugged the GPS in and off we went. Passing through Didsbury (I think), Dom spots an off licence.</p>
<blockquote><p><font color="#333333">&quot;OOOH! STOP! I&#8217;ll be 2 minutes&quot;</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And out he jumps, returning with what can only be described as a bucket of beer, and a six pack of cheap lager. Right, off we go.</p>
<p>Going along towards the M56 (not the quickest way, but the satnav told us to!), and we end up at a junction.</p>
<blockquote><p><font color="#333333">&quot;Erm&#8230; M56 north or south?&quot;</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p>At this point, satnav battery dies, Dom is mid way through drinking from the bucket, and Taylor doesn&#8217;t have a clue what is going on. So I foolishly go North, bad choice.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll omit the next part, due to large amounts of swearing etc etc.</p>
<p>We end up on the M56, 4 junctions north, but heading south. Gooooood! By this point, we have another 45 mins left to get there, and the queues are horrific. Ah well&#8230; more beers to be drunk by everyone but me.</p>
<p>Anyway, end on on the A556 going towards the show ground. The A556/M6 junction is a HUGE roundabout, and the show entrance was on the wrong side of a dual carriageway, on the same road as we entered the roundabout. So we queued right the way round. But first time &#8211; I missed the turning. So we went ALLLLL the way around again, after some rather dodgy manoeuvres including pulling a U-turn across 4 lanes of dual carriageway. Less said about that the better. </p>
<p>Right &#8211; so we&#8217;re now approaching the showground. By this time is is 4.25 &#8211; 5 mins until we&#8217;re PLAYING &#8211; actually ON STAGE! They&#8217;ve also reversed the traffic cordons, so we were pulling up behind police cars, asking nicely to be let round. 4.28 &#8211; we reach the site.</p>
<p>No clue where to park, so Dom &amp; Taylor bail out half way across the site, I keep my head down. I have no idea how I came to be driving across the actual site, it&#8217;s usually locked down for all vehicles. I was pushing people aside with my bumper!!! Ended up ditching the car next to a toilet, and running before anyone found me.</p>
<p>We made it, just. To be honest, there wasn&#8217;t much point. I was shaking too much to play, Dom was hammered, and Taylor was half-way hammered as well. Ah well!</p>
<p>Getting back was a whole other story&#8230; for some other time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now, I have 26 hours until my next exam (Computing CP4), yet I am sat blog posting! What a mistake-a to make-a!</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve now done 5 exams, and have another 8 left to go. Only 13 days left though! They do like to cram these exams into a nice small space of time!</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve finished school, I&#8217;ve discovered <a href="http://www.pkr.com" target="_blank">PKR</a> &#8211; a 3D poker game that you play from your computer over t&#8217;internet against other people. It&#8217;s quite addictive &#8211; and a very good waste of time! I came 112th out of 400 in a tournament last night, went all-in on a pair of Kings, the other bastard had a pair of Aces -.- Will be back in the tournament tonight, going to beat last nights record!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also discovered some more stuff, which I&#8217;ll post about later today.</p>
<p>Right, who wants a game of Monopoly?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to get better at this blogging lark, no updates in nearly a month! <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':-o' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have just got back from completing my Music Tech coursework logs. If anyone from AQA happens to read this &#8211; <strong>they&#8217;re a waste of time!</strong> I&#8217;ve spent the last 2 days doing nothing but logs, and I bet they never get read. I hate examiners some times!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also got A2 exams next week. Eek! Maths C4 and Music Tech resit on Wednesday, and then Physics resit on Thursday. Can&#8217;t wait&#8230;</p>
<p>Still, on the bright side &#8211; 32 days left until my last exam <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  Woop!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, you can all imagine why I&#8217;ve not been blogging much recently&#8230; I&#8217;ve got an iPhone!</p>
<p>Yes, almost 1 year to the day of it being announced at Macworld &#8211; I hold in my hand the epitome of cool.</p>
<p>The adverts really can&#8217;t show it at all, its an awesome bit of kit, only got a few complaints:</p>
<ul>
<li>No multiple texts</li>
<li>No MMS</li>
<li>Headphone jack</li>
<li>Home button</li>
<li>Applications &quot;crash&quot; to the home screen quite often</li>
</ul>
<p>Most problems should be fixed with the 1.1.3 update, however, which hopefully is out next week, being announced at MacWorld!</p>
<p>Anyway, back to life&#8230;</p>
<p>Got exams this week, had Maths C2 yesterday (went okay, thought of an answer as soon as I left the hall though <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  there goes 5 marks). Got Physics resit and Maths C3 tomorrow &#8211; fun. I intend to have a fun time at Nic&#8217;s party tomorrow evening though &#8211; I may not make it home!</p>
<p>Handed in my Physics coursework, a month before I had to <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> ! I&#8217;ll wait and see if it comes back though, teacher&#8217;s still had my last piece for 3 months without marking it -.-</p>
<p>I&#8217;m rather depressed about going back to school, would much rather be off to Uni tomorrow!</p>
<p>On the subject of Uni &#8211; I&#8217;ve had offers from Kent, Nottingham and Edinburgh so far, and have interviews at York and Durham! Kent want me to visit though, which means a 6 hour journey on the train just to get there <img src='http://mattdyson.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  May have to drive&#8230; somehow!</p>
