This is the chronicles of Pete, Dicker and Chris.
This blog is basically 3 mates sharing their thoughts, what they've been up to and just random stuff they're thought of or found somewhere.

Quiet?
The place where I work (and where Dicker lives), has a reputation within the organisation as being a bit quiet. It used to be a hotbed of activity that we are paid to deal with, but these days it’s mostly rather minor stuff. This last week has ...
Confused.
So I’m losing track of time a little bit. Every time I go into work my roster seems to have changed again, and I’m working a lot of nights. That means that I lose a lot of my days, and get fairly confused as to what day it is. I’ve...
Computer
So my current desktop is getting rather tired. It makes a horrible loud whirring noise constantly as the fan works overtime trying to keep everything cool, and is getting slower every day (or at least that’s how it feels). I think it might be t...
The final countdown (de ner ner nerrrr, der ner ner ner nerr…)
Firstly, it’s a bit sad that between three potential bloggers on this site, we still can barely muster up a post per week… we need to pull our blogs out, people! Secondly, I’ve finished season 4 of The Wire, and I’m very keen ...
Exams…
This hasn’t been a particularly good week for me in terms of exams. I had a practical assessment that went really well, until after I’d finished and realised that I’d left out one of the mandatory items. The assessor didn’t s...
Busy, but bored…
I’m a bit bored today. I don’t have anything that I have to do until lunchtime. There are plenty of things that I could, or should do, but nothing that’s actually scheduled for right now. So instead of being productive or organise...
Protest!
Read the story here. Watch the video here: I just love this....
Vehicular Joy
So after a LOT of delays from the mechanic, and considerable expense, I got my car back on Friday afternoon. It feels good to be able to have that level of independence, and freedom to travel around on a weekend at home. To celebrate I’ve down...
Stuck.
So this afternoon I was excited to be heading home for the long weekend. I finished PT, packed my bags, and drove… as far as McDonalds at Sutton Forest, where my car’s water pump blew up. To cut a long story short, I’m now back in ...
Week 4
Well I’m currently in the second day of week 4 (of 14) and things have settled into a bit of a rhythm, for better or worse. I’ve got my room set up pretty much the way I want it, with study notes plastered all over the walls and doors (a...
The first few days…
…have been long. Lots of lectures, and plenty of ‘inspirational’ talks that usually involve the words “…and if you aren’t prepared for that, then you may as well go home now…”. Very helpful, I’m ...
Getting ready…
I’m in the process of getting ready to leave town (for my uni course) for a few months, and I’m finding it quite difficult. I’m having to buy things to take with me, and work out what needs to be packed. Although I’ll be able...
Something that made me smile…
…and you thought the Easter Bunny was nice?
iPhone
I really want to get an iPhone. Here’s my justification(s): * My phone contract ran out last June, and I can get an iPhone if I sign up to a new contract for pretty much what I’m paying monthly at the moment (give or take $5). * My iPod&...
Night Shift:
…can be quite boring when you’re stuck indoors and not really able to do anything to contribute....
It’s hot… milk was a bad choice.
It’s hot today. Really hot. I’m playing guitar and singing at an outdoor wedding this afternoon, on the sand out at Boat Harbour. It’s going to be ridiculously hot out there. I’m at home in the (relative) cool, and I’m ...
…and this just made me giggle…
A movie I’d like to see:
King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters...
What’s missing from the new James Bond films…
…is the exciting cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace as much as the next guy (and he seemed to like them a lot), but they didn’t feel like James Bond films… they just felt like generic acti...
Exams…
I got home on Friday evening from a week of exams for one of the courses that I’m studying, and had to almost immediately begin studying for this week (another week of exams, this time for Theology). It’s hard to stay focussed… oh ...
An amazing new song…
These guys are good:...
SO…
…earlier in the week, I got out of bed and went outside to find that someone had crashed into my car’s front end. Not enough to write the thing off, but enough to make me wish that they had. I’m finding it really hard to think ̵...
They start young…
LANGUAGE WARNING (sort of) A friend sent me this, and I thought it was fun (if not fairly predictable)…...
Some YouTube to make you (me?) happy…
First up, a baby who can breakdance… Next, some fantastic auditions for a Kung Fu film:...
World’s scariest man?
Tell me this guy isn’t scary? Also, I think he’s wearing Dorothy’s shoes, which means he’s probably related to one of the wicked witches and finally took revenge....
Podcast
Just in case anyone’s interested, I was interviewed for a podcast recently. See here for details....
YY dreamin’
OK, so after watching tonight’s (repeat episode) Top Gear African special, I’ve been inspired… instead of spending a YY weekend in a house somewhere drinking beer and solving the problems of the world, why don’t we do some for...
Car thief!
Watch out for your vehicles, there’s a big car thief about…...
WE’RE BACK!!!
I missed us… Thanks for sorting the whole interwebby out for us Chris. On another note, I’ve pretty much lost my voice. It’s nice having a deep voice for once in my life though… I’m telling myself that I sound ‘h...
