OK, here's the story.
I am selling my PC to my dear sweet grandmother who wants a better one, it's not a bad PC but it barely runs Doom3 and this will not do! So I'm selling it at the fair price of £250.
Also, someone by the name of Roger Jones owes me £200 for some web-development work I did for him a long long time ago and he still hasn't coughed up but has promised that I will get the money soon.
Anyway, that gave me a budget of £450 to build a new PC. Considering I already have some componants (PSU, case, HDD) and also considering that I can afford to go a little over budget, that means I can build a pretty decent PC.
So I went and priced up a PC from three different websites which came to a total of just under £470. That's not bad, you might say, it was a pretty decent PC aswell, AMD Athlon XP 3200+, 512Mb DDR PC3200, DFI LanParty motherboard and a GeForce 6800 128Mb graphics card.
There was just one problem though. When it comes to PC hardware I lose all forms of self restraint and instead of ordering the good £180 graphics card, I accidentally ordered a £265 graphics card instead.
I also upgraded a couple of other minor things that didn't cost as much, all in all this now means I have gone £124.16 over budget, so as I said before, fuck.
Not only do I now have to rely on my parents inability to understand anything about hardware so that when it arrives I'm not found out, I also have to hide my bank statements AND hope to God that they NEVER see this blog entry (or at least not see it until I'm in Loughborough).
By the way, anyone who posts a message along the lines of, "haha, y0u i5 13ik 707a11y fuck3d!!11!1!" Just remember that my PC, in all likelyhood, pwns yours.

Please continue the story, one sentence per reply. Every forum/blog site has to have one of these stupid pages, so here it is.

Since the poetry thread from the oh-so-obsolete probes.tk website sort of went a bit dead, I thought I'd resurrect it here. Also, M@x said he enjoyed the old site because of the poetry thread, and he'd post here if there was one. So here it is! Please feel free to offend your forum buddies in verse here.
Since the old site is pretty much dead,
I decided to resurrect this old thread.
Now we can sit up all night
Reciting literary shite,
Right off the top of our head.-Phil.

In a fit of huge generosity, my dad bought me my first car, a Toyota Corolla Sportif. It runs perfect, without any clunks or clangs. No scratches at all. I am so happy.
All car and no stalls make Phil a happy boy.

In other news I JUST REALISED I WAS ONLY 1 F*CK*NG MARK OFF AN A IN PHYSICS.
I think this blog entry needs something more, but what to put.
Erm, Doom 3 is hard, I've deleted a few of the shitter phrases from the counter and I'm about to add some scriptage to show who posted a blog entry. - 20 Comments
