This halo wars video of cut-scenes is awesome:
20 minutes, 30 seconds for the best one scenes 
So on Saturday i played hockey which was quite a heated affair between Chester 6th and Chester 7ths. Two Club teams in the same league should never happen in my opinion and neither are anywhere need promotion. With parents on the sidelines of the 6ths as the 6ths are just a bunch of youngsters with one or two senior players to give some authority which wasn’t happening as the youngsters were spouting off their mouths, I’ve never heard so much bad language ever. The game was very controversial in many points of the game, with dodgy umpiring and the one umpire just not been keeping an eye on the game.
Our first goal was awarded after one umpire had to speak to the other umpire, there equalizer was down to sloppy defence. But our 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals made it all worth while as we annihilated them and smashed their resolve. As soon as we scored the 3rd their confidence was shattered and the game was in our hands. But we have nothing to cheer about as we only beat a bunch of 15 year olds but, they acted like spoilt brats, appealing and trying persuade the umpire into giving them the ball on fouls, nothing to do with the fact that one umpire also happened to be their youth coach.
I played a varied game, initially i started in midfield. i have never ever played in midfield and not an experience i enjoyed but i had to work at it and im sure in future games i could control the game better, but i within the first half i came off and was then back on the left wing which i found to be my A game and i was annoying their right wing who just didn’t have the talent to keep me from going forward, i set up our 2nd goal due to my persistent annoying self on the wing. Second half i started in midfield and felt a bit more relaxed but its so hard to keep track of the forwards and try to command the game, it was different i can say that much, but i enjoyed it more. Then towards the end of the half i played on the right wing and that was fun, i don’t get many chances on right wing and i enjoyed it alot more freedom and more chance to annoy the left wings and left backs.
Oh and that card i got a green card for disrupting play, and was warned. My first card ever in hockey so its nothing to worry about, and it was a fair challenge well i thought it was.
Anyway i can look forward to next weekend when i will be playing against Bowdon 9ths.
So i thought the snow was actually going to finally disappear this week, but no it has returned. The ground is now covered with snow again, stupid snow. I didnt mind it at first, but when it stay around for this long it make it dangerous and difficult to get to work, although i walk to work this can be dangerous with ice etc.
Driving could be potentially dangerous too, my road once again has been covered with snow, no grit either.
Also no playing hockey this week again as the pitches are still covered in snow, so this is further disrupting my life.
But this week i will not let the snow ruin my social life, i will be going out tonight with the hockey team, i need it since i haven’t been out for ages!
Well i have just been testing out the new k2 wordpress theme framework nightly release, and the recent changes that have been made to the framework are really nice, this can be seen over at my test are and demo area at demo.8bitdesign.co.uk.
The new nightly release add new columns and new widget placement for the theme which i really like, this allows new themes much more flexibility. I will wait until this is released before i stop updating any of my current themes.
Its looking very good, hopefully this will be in the next release.
Finally the snow is starting to melt it was nice while it lasted, but the snow has dented Britain. With our infrastrure, and transport networks almost coming to a halt all because of abit of snow. Its ridiculous why we cant cope with snow like this, when other countries in europe have no problem with it.
Well with the snow going atleast the country can get back on track, which means for me the hockey season can begin again, which i have missed. If the snow hadnt come, i had a chance to play for Chester 4ths, nevermind. I will keep playing and perhaps one day i will play at that level.
Also with the snow going, no more horrible driving conditions and a car that will probably function alot better, the horrible snow has gone.
