Pigeons On The London Underground

Posted 16. Aug, 2009 in Personal

A quick post about how I found a new friend on Friday just gone. It was early in the morning on the Aldagte to Uxbridge Metropolitan line when a pigeon boarded the train. At first commuters didn’t know whether to laugh, change carriage or just wonder why a bird would be on the tube. Without seconds to think, doors closed and the train began to depart from the station.

pigeon-on-undergroundI did manage to capture an image (quickly, as the bird was too busy rushing to view the map on where to get off at it’s stop) and it can clearly show the pigeon behind the seat. I was amazed further when we reached Liverpool Street, first station down, when the pigeon walked off casually and flew away. Nature can indeed work in mysterious ways.

Small June Update

Posted 25. Jun, 2009 in Computers, Forums, Gaming, Personal

Boy-oh-boy!

I have just updated the theme to suit the game I’m playing at the moment and i will start posting regularly! A lot of things have happened through June, here is a quick breakdown on what this post with cover:

  • My birthday has passed (14th June).
  • I have returned to Forum Promotion, as a reviewer.
  • Creating a new theme for my blog.
  • Got my laptop finally working fully on Linux.
  • iPhone OS 3.0.

My 19th Birthday

A year older? Certainly doesn’t feel that way! Can’t believe a year has gone by, so much has happened in this year that it is almost hard to explain in one section. Having moved to Essex, “the lovely sunny county of chavs“, back in April 2008 I was in the process on joining the British Army as a future Combat Engineer (C3). While doing nothing, having no job, no friends down south (all back up in Lincolnshire), no school and no real sense of direction I plowed on with online gaming and sorting some websites out.

With meeting some great lads at the Army pre-ADSC and main 2 day ADSC selection days, I finally found out something when lying on a hospital bed in Hampshire: “The Army isn’t for me.”. Switching to a completely different line of work, SEO. I am currently an apprentice at a London based consultancy, Ayima Search Marketing, I absolutely love it. This has pretty much taken me up to June this year, other than the whole army and new line of work, it has been relatively quiet with mainly the Internet and forums taking up my time.

Returning to Forum Promotion

Forum Promotion, once my home on the Internet as a moderator and then head of the community team, is my hub once again. I have applied for the place on the review team and have been accepted.
