Forgive the Profanity

Chav Bastard,,,,, Thick stupid ... aaaaaaargggggggghhhhhhhhhh... I will stop right there. Yes I swear, I do try not to but with living life in this insane shithole I feel it gives me a release; I am so wound up at the moment I just need to let this out...... Tonight I arrive home from work, step out of my car open the door to get my laptop... As I turn round there is a stupid C**t on bashed up motorbike screaming toward me. He was riding with his front wheel in the air, the loudest exhaust you ever heard, imagine a bowing 747 in your front room, you get the picture. He goes past and I flag him down,, he bimbles over and says "Wah" Wah do ya want?" I say in my friendly voice.... Imagine ninja Turtle here "Dude,,,,, is there any need to ride like that...... you are scaring the kiddies....! oh yes did I mention there are loads of kids playing, there always is.. the sun shines the kids play... Back to it.... The guy on the bike.... he says " look mate I will run yo...

Intro is Booked

Thats it then, I've done it; booked the Intro exam for Thursday 22nd June 12:45. Note to self (Take ID x 2 and get there 30 mins Prior.) I decided this morning to do the two exams to acheive the CCNA. Each costs £60.00 but with the voucher this comes down to £21.00. Need to crack on now and revise, I am hoping the Intro will focus on CCNA 1 and 2 and the ICND on the remaining modules. After I have took the Intro I'll decide when to do the ICND probabley the following week. Sorry Shell I need to do more study...

Final Exam

Sat the the final exam for CCNA 4 last week passed at 78%, throughout the four semesters my grades decreased. Through semesters one to four the study materials are less but the subject increases in difficulty. Although I have finished and passed all parts of the CCNA academy course this still doesn't mean I have a CCNA. The next step now is to sit an industry recognized exam or exams at a Prometric test centre. I have two options, I can sit the CCNA exam to gain qualification or sit the Intro and ICND to gain the qualification. During the course I passed two voucher exams that will give me discount on the cost of the exams. This is the next step now, to decide which exam or exams to sit. I am told the exams are all time pressured with about 60 questions in each and vary in difficulty. The single CCNA exam I am led to beleive is most difficult with the two exam route having the most questions but more specific in each exam. Doing the two exam route obviously gives you a better chanc...

Walk The Dog

Finally remembered the name of the Cycle Route at Cannock Chase; Walk The Dog. A seven mile route with a few hills here and there but with loads of fast downhill parts. Had an outing over there with my friend Terry the other day, had to cut it short though because I had some problems with my brakes. The back brake stopped working completely. I fixed it when I got home by adjusting the pads though. Over the past few months I have tried different food and drinks to have before, after and during cycling, I have found the energy drinks from Decathlon to be quite good. The drinks are in powder form and don't taste too bad, the energy bars from the same place are cool aswell. I used to drink about 2 litres of water every 2 hours before I used the powders, now I drink about half that and don't have the thirsty feeling. I can recommend bananas to eat along with the cereal bars, they don't give you heart burn and are supposed to contain loads of slow release energy plus they taste g...
