Here I am, sat at the old box, banging away
at the keys (not as quickly as in this little animation, I might
add),
experimenting in the great mystery of the
modern new-fangled wonder machines called PCs. It's all beyond
me........sometimes it works, others it simply doesn't! And when it
doesn't, boy does it piss me off! I'll spend hours, scratching my
head, trying to do the simplest of things and it just don't work,
like, know worr I mean?
This is actually intended top be a sort of news letter to be read by my friends (hello, is anybody there?) and if you just happen to have stumbled into my home page by chance, and if your name's ALEX, check out the Blind Nun grafik
YEP, it's me Pabs, Pablito, Tango 52, Oi You!, or simply, Paul........
Kinell, where do I begin? There's so much to
say, but so little space in which to say it (something wrong here,
Ed). So anyway, where was I? Yeah, . . . .this started out
differently. . . . . . . .

Dear (insert your name here),
I thought I'd drop you a webpage because I
suddenly realized that I hadn't written for a while. I ain't got the
foggiest how this page is going to turn out. Certainly not going to
be one of your fancy/profesional webs like:
OH if you're going to click on one of these
links, don't forget to come back, OR better still, bookmark this page
with <Control D>
No, this is intended to be simply
informative, entertaining, thought provoking ("thought provoking" ,I
hear you think, "I wonder what he means by that"), and even
educayshunal, Cor blimey mate, Can't you spell? Anyway, let's bash
on.......
first off ;-)
1.
We've moved. Olga and I have moved to a ground
floor flat just off Amboage which is ideal as the cat (Pirata) can at
least go outside more or less when she wants. Five years in the other
flat and she only went out three times (1st when she fell out the
back window ,3 floors....yep always land on their feet....) into the
garden of the house at the back, 2nd and 3rd when I went back to
England and shedidn't like that at all.....agoraphobia, you know)
Still, (as opposed to fizzy) where was I? Oh yeah, new flat, cat go
outside etc., OK? Unfurnished, did I say?, No? well, it
is..............unfurnished that is.........Thought "ain't got a
lorra dough, so I'll make a bed" something like Andy's, but not quite
so grand......... Pencil, bit o paper, scribble, scribble,.......
scribble......aaaand........Hey Presto bed designed!!. Next step:
make it. Well....the design turned out to be a little suspect, but
with a very simple, but ingenious modification (Olga's idea, not
mine), it ended up being sound. Sound as a pound in the ground, or if
your from Souff Landan, SAND AZZA PAND INVA GRAND! Any way, back to
bed....the bed Pino Rojo (red
pine.....wot?) with an Oak (stained) finish for those DIY buffs
amongst you thinking "he hasn't got a f**king clue about DIY".
Bought a nice black desk from the nice man
at the local furniture shop.
Thought "Nice bit o' kit ,that. I need a table
for the classroom. I can do that.But bigger, of course, and better
!!!" ........Pencil, bit o paper, scribble, scribble,.......
scribble......aaaand........Hey Presto table designed!! Down to local
wood shop. Wotcha cock ! Gizus a bit o' wood mate! Saw,Saw,Saw
(that's him at the wood shop sawing , not me) and into the car (the
wood , not him!) back home and Hey Presto Ace Table..... It turns out
that I CAN do these things after all....
Next project - Build a computer table incorporated into the desk I mentioned earlier. (Now been done - Ed)
2.
Other news, oh yeah, I've left the school! PEC,
that is. And much happier for it! Sometimes you got to follow
the Nike advice and JUST DO IT! I ain't going to be so
indiscreet as to give the real reason for leaving in an open document
like this, so let it suffice to say that I left for personal reasons,
know what I mean, like!..............
3.
So what am I doing now? well, a bit of this
, a bit of that, duckin' and divin', etc.... working for the Wall
Street Institute, which is based in Santiago. I just do 8 hours a
week (all on one day) in Imenosa, one of their contracts. It'll be
interesting to see how that develops......They'll probably be into
Ferrol soon.......
I WILL add
more news soon, so come back in a bit, OK? Ciao.....(last edited:
