Change your life in 7 days, apparently

Click here for the book on Amazon

Change Your Life in Seven Days by Paul Mckenna. Someone recommended this book to me. It can help you be more successful, make more money, etc.

It sounds interesting, and I went to buy it.



Then I thought about the title some more and realised I don't want to change my life in 7 days, and that I've got plenty of better things that I can be getting on with.

I'm pretty happy as I am actually :0)

New Warwick Uni SU

I knew they were putting in a new Student Union at Warwick. I popped in today, its really, really good.



Its all modern and funky, with a main courtyard area with a balcony around it. They've put in loads of cool bars, and lots of terraced areas. There is a lot more seating then there ever used to be.



They've got 3 dance areas that are like night clubs. A big one, a small one that looks like a cool nightclub, and then a really big area where the cooler and marketplace once were, with a large stage for live acts.

And they've put in a Costa. And the coffee was lovely, as usual for Costa.

Best of all its got air conditioning, finally! Those students have got it good.

2nd run of the year

2nd run of the year, and it felt great to be out running again. I ran for 48 minutes, which was probably about 4 miles.

New shoes and new running gear is excellent, it does help, having decent kit.

I found a new park in basildon. I have since been warned by my dad that people have been murdered and raped in the parks in basildon in the dark. It wasn't completely dark, but oh crap!

30th Birthday ideas

The question is quickly coming, what to do for my 30th Birthday? Well I really don't want a big party, they are always a stress to arrange, and its just not what I want to do.

I found an article on the web, someone was saying do what you want to do for your 30th, and its not just about a day - celebrate it the whole year.

So I've brainstormed a load of things that I'd love to do this year, and you know what I'm gonna try and see if I can get it all arranged... :-)

I hate c2c

Basildon station at 6.25pm. Arrived and there is a LONG queue for the ticket machine. The security barriers are down on the ticket office.

There are two c2c security staff not doing a lot. I asked why the ticket office was shut, apparantly they were on a break until 7.00pm!!

I overlooked the shoulder of dude using other machine (no queue), its not working! I ask security guard A if there is a problem with it, he said no. He then tried it, and then said; oh its not working.

I ask if I can have a permit to travel; no you'll have to wait for the ticket office!

Queue getting longer, and I join it.

Waiting, the first person finally finishes. Meanwhile my 6.36 train is coming soon.

This chap can't find his station. Types it in manually, starts again, types it in again, then can't work out how to put in his money. For a loooong time.

Queue getting longer, people getting aggitated. Someone tries to help the chap with no luck.

I call out to the c2c guys to ask them to help with the ticket machine. After a lot of persuasion security guard 2 reluctantly offers to help.

My train goes.

The queue is getting longer. The chap still hasn't paid. This could well take another half an hour to get a ticket.

So I made a slight change of plan; I ran for a taxi. It dropped me off at Laindon for a fiver. Got the 6.52 to Fenchurch Street. Now i'm gonna be late :-(



Fucking c2c. 'cuse my French.

Cool french chaps

I met two cool French chaps in Paris. One at a service station was all smiles, responded to my French and was singing and dancing, and then waved as I drove past.


Then second guy was in eurodisney, I gave him my best "Bonsoir, parle vous Anglais, si vous plait" he then gave me a long response in French, with a big grin on his face, then we both burst out laughing.

Giving a lift

I always considered giving a lift ettiquette meant you dropped someone outside their home.

Recently someone wanted to drop me off at the top of my close because they couldn't be bothered to turn around and go back out. I was a little offended; it would have taken them moments.



Then a chap from work social tonight asked if he can drop me off at the traffic lights, a 10min walk from my home; if I haven't got too far to walk. I said it was fine because I thought he might not consider it far, and because I was shocked that he had asked. Seriously not cool. It would have taken him a few minutes.

I know I'm being ungrateful, because afterall they've given me a lift, but I always drop people at their door.
