…actually I have no idea what this refers to, I assume that people who have worn green outfits in the past have either been voted off or in the skate off – but it was amusing that it was mentioned as Gary came out to perform and then proved true as they were in the skate off despite being 2nd on the judges leader board.

Poor Gary, seems he was already lacking in confidence and that certainly isn’t going to help.

Surprised to see Davro go so early as well, I mean a series of Dancing on Ice without the ‘comedy couple’ just doesn’t seem right. There’s no one for us to laugh at because they are just so atrocious now.

You know if my Internet continues to run the way it is doing I may need to actually go out and get a job, shocking!

I work from home, have done for many years now and I need a fast Internet connection to be able to do what I do competitively. I’ve been running the most successful home based business just fine until the last month or so when their ‘traffic management’ set in.

I said it before, I will say it again just in case any one happens upon this – so not go on O2 Access for any reason, it is not fit for purpose, I don’t know how they even get away with calling it broadband.

I just got around to watching the second episode of The Biggest Loser, it takes me about a week to download anything at the moment because my ISP is throttling p2p traffic – it’s a total pain but I can’t get away as I am still within my 12 month contract.

Note to anyone reading, never go on o2 access!

So two main observations.

* Why would any one ever turn to weight loss pills after seeing what can be achieved on these shows? One dude has lost almost 50 pounds in 2 weeks – are you serious?

* Bob and Jillian should never consider acting, the segment where Bob had on the White team guys weight and the one where poor Jillian was forced to eat processed food – some of the most cringe-worthy moments on TV, ever!

Roll on episode 3

I think I might need to start applying the odd anti aging product at night, I am getting old!

Honestly, I never thought I would be the sort of woman to freak out at turning 30, and really I am not that bothered – but at the same time I would really rather not be!

It also makes me feel old that our neighbours party every Friday and Saturday night until gone 5am, and rather than head round there to join in I moan and whinge about how annoying they are!

…a new season of The Biggest Loser USA, already? really?

Each season when we meet the new crop I say the same thing – these people are too big, each season has to outdo the last and it’s already at a ridiculous level – I dread to think how it’s going to be by season 19. The lightest person will weigh 500lbs.

I have to say I like the couples format as it means more contestants for us to meet. I was duped by the first challenge as well which is rare, when Ali announced the 2 people to complete the slowest would go home I thought; “nah, no way..they’ll be sent off to train with a ‘The Commando’ or something” – so when it actually looked like they were going home, doing their leaving interview to camera, getting in the limos – I was shocked. I believed they were going home, but then of course out popped Bob and Jillian to announce the twist

I was surprised at who went home also, I feel the producers probably didn’t expect the ‘Half ton twins’ to be the first out, they must have spent a long time trying to find them and given the edit they got in the first episode I thought they were in for the long haul.

I will continue to watch, I can’t help myself, but I think it’s safe to say my love affair with this show is over. It’s just gone too far now.

It’s so easy and simple to do an online backup but it’s amazing how many people don’t, then they go and get a virus or something and lose everything and throw their toys out of the pram – you ask them why they didn’t have a back up and they say they couldn’t be bothered. Well, serves them right in my opinion

I was just looking for cheap hotels new orleans, I have decided one of my plans for 2010 is to travel more. I used to travel a lot, I was hardly ever in one spot and for about 4 years I moved about so much I didn’t even have an address – but I had settled down somewhat in the last 2 or 3 years and it’s time to get back to my old ways. I may as well now while I am still young and don’t have any kids

I have been enjoying this show a lot, last nights punishment of Basshunter and Sov was pretty hilarious.

I didn’t really warm to Sov at first but now like her loads, my initial favourite was Basshunter and I still think he’s a nice guy but a bit too puerile for me. I can’t warm to Hiedi at all, she seems cold and all she does is lay around in bed all day. Sisqo is adorable and seems like a really nice guy. I couldn’t live with Stephen Baldwin but he makes for good TV. Vinnie seems chilled but a bit arrogant. I can’t make my mind up about Kataya, she seems nice enough but I find it hard to like people who cheat on partners/break up marriages willy nilly as she seems to. Lucy T is nice and I don’t usually like the ditsy glamour girl types – but it’s like she has no filter, if she’s thinking it she says or asks it and that’s refreshing.

I don’t like Alex just because of who he’s associated with and the fact he’s there means we have to think about and endure rumours she may be going in. But overall I think it’s a pretty like able bunch

Still early days though.

I just spent a while searching for Flash clocks/calender widgets to put on websites as I am working on a new project – again – I remember back in the day I used to run one website and I thought that was hard work, now I have so many domains I have lost count.

I don’t really think this is a good thing and I would like to get it down to a more reasonable level, like maybe 5? But alas, I get these ideas and I just can’t help myself I simply have to develop them out of fear if I don’t someone else will.

So any was I came across Pitiko.com pretty quickly and they had exactly what I was after, there are over 1000 designs to choose from and posting them on your site is as simple as simple gets – you just have to browse around to find your favourite and then copy the HTML code provided. No installations, no settings to adjust – just copy and paste and away you go.

I chose a nice wintery themed one to fit in with the current weather here in the UK
