Saturday - Fence Painting Day
Well I must say I was quite surprised that I ended up painting the fence today. I went to Dave's house at about 4 PM or so and started work on the fence a few minutes after I got there. Well I got about an hour's worth of work done before it started raining :( I had to stop. It rained for about 30 seconds then stopped. Okay I had a lot to do and I didn't expect to finish the job on the same night, but still, I could have gotten more done. I think I must have finished at about 6PM or there abouts. Anyway here is a link to the highlight. It lasts 58 minutes so thats how I know how much work I got done. Okay so I did about 5% of the fence in 1 hour. I made progress :-)

Bad News - Dave and Dawn split up
I have some very bad news which I just found out last night. My dad and his girlfriend, Dawn are splitting up. I am not 100% sure why at this point but I do know that today, Wednesday, she is packing up her things and moving out of his house. I think she's going to live at a friend's house for the time being. I asked Dave why and he said "she thinks I neglect her". I think I know the reason why they have decided to split up. Basically my Dad, Dave works alot. He works Monday to Friday and most of the time he works overtime on weekends Saturday and Sunday. On Friday nights he goes to the pub (bar, for my American readers), and he is out late until about 12 AM or so. Saturday and Sunday he usually works and Sunday when he finishes work he goes out to the bar again. The weekend just gone (18th) me and him were in Gravesend, Kent to see Ebbsfleet (football my dad follows) play. Basically I don't think there was alot of communication, and every relationship needs communication. Although I do sympathise on that one, I agree that my dad goes to the pub often. I'm not saying he's a drunk, I'm saying he could spend more time with his family rather than going and getting pissed whenever he's not working. I don't know. Although one thing I will say - Dave used to go out with Dawn years ago but she left him due to the fact that he was visiting the pub too often. So short answer - YES I suppose he does (did) neglect her in that way!
My next concern is that I have made great friends with Dawn's family, that is her sisters (Debbie and Janice) and everyone else there. I probably won't lose contact with them as I pass Debbie's house quite often when I walk to my dad's house. Janice sometimes has nights in the backyard with her family and they have a burner (fire). I have been told that I'll still be invited to those. Only thing I will miss is the trips to France with Dawn, Debbie, Debbie's husband and their grandchildren/niece. I pointed this out to Dave and he said he will still take me to France in the summer or maybe go somewhere else. Speaking of holidays, Dave and Dawn were suppose to be going back to France in 2 weeks. He is going on his own now.
What I do find strange about this is Dave doesn't seem to even give 2 craps that he just lost his girlfriend. I find that quite strange. I told him this and his response was "Jack, I've been through it all before, if she wants to leave me what can I do about it?" I then told him that he'll die alone and his response to that was "I don't care if I die alone as long as I die happy" I asked him "are you going to die happy?" and he said "yes".
Truthfully I didn't expect any of this to happen yesterday afternoon when I walked to Dave's house, well I guess relationships don't last forever. Nothing gold can stay. I'm not bothered so much by this but it is a shame. On a lighter topic I begin my computing course at college today. I'm also hoping for some nice warm weather at the weekend so I can paint the fence in the back garden (a job I've been putting off for a while now). If I do do it I will put my webcam on Justin TV and you can watch me live. It will of course be after Dave finishes work at about 3PM UK time.
Bye guys.

First Day At Middlesbrough College
As most of you know today was my first day at Middlesbrough college. I was having trouble getting to sleep the previous night but I eventually got there after 12am. I had to be up at 7am this morning but I woke up at about 6:50am. I had my breakfast, got dressed and listened to some music. My Dad's girlfriend Dawn came for me at 8:15am. I got there for 8:30am. When I first arrived I was nervous but was directed over to the computing group. Around 9am we all went upstairs to the IT department. We haven't begun any work this week and probably won't until next week, everything that happened today was just to get ready. I have a timetable but it's only for this week. I was in all day today, same tomorrow, half day Wednesday (12pm finish), then I'm off Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow I am going bowling from 9am-12pm. That should be fun. I also met a nice kid who is into web design and hosts other people's websites on his own server. At one point he asked me if I knew any languages, I replied "yeah I know a little bit of French" and he said "no I meant computer languages". Hahahaha. Seriously, that did happen. Been a great day anyway. I've also noticed there's been alot of traffic on the website lately, including one from Iran! Anyway if you do read the blog, please click 'Follow'. Thanks.

I am also broadcasting on Justin.TV. I have also been looking at my stats and I have had nearly 60 visits today, in total I've had 134 visits since Tuesday! I'm doing really well. Anyway that's all for now.

Friday - Final Teeth Are Out
Hello Jack-Bromby.com fans!
This morning I had 2 more teeth removed but it was the last ones I am having out (Thank God!). When I went in they first put some strange orange sticky stuff on my gum where they administor the injection, this is to ensure that it goes in with as little pain as possible. After that they have a needle and inject novacain I think it is, into not just one part of my mouth but about 5 different parts. The first injection I found to be a little bit painful, even as I write this I cringe at the thought of it again. It wasn't alot of pain but it did hurt for about 5 seconds. Once they had administered the injection in all parts of my mouth the dentist began poking my teeth to make sure that it is completely numb. Once it was the dentist then had another instrument to push down on my teeth to loosen it before the final part where they had a pair of plyers to pull out my tooth. Then they did the same with the other tooth. I'm just glad it's all over. I am having my braces installed in 2 months I think. On a lighter note I start college on Monday. I am looking forward to it. Oh and I downloaded some more music earlier. French rap, some oldies and just some other music. There is too many to list all but here's some:
Rihanna - Hate That I Love You
Rihanna - Take a Bow
NTM - Pose Ton Gun
NTM - That's My People
NTM - Police
NTM - Tout N'est Pas Si Facile
La Fouine - Immortelles
Heinz - Just Like Eddie
The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me
The Crickets - Oh Boy
and many many more.

Very Late Update, Sorry :(
Hi Guys,
Sorry for not updating in a very long time, firstly I'll start this blog post by mentioning my recent trip to the dentist which was on the 31st August. Okay it wasn't bad at all, the injection in my mouth did hurt a little bit, well it didn't really hurt, just stung a little bit for 2 seconds so it was nothing really. The worst bit was hearing the teeth crack when the dentist was removing them. Also my mouth felt like it had swelled up for a few hours but it was nothing really. I am going back this Friday on the morning to have 2 more removed. I thought I was going to get the 4 out at the same time but as it turns out I didn't need that so I requested to just have 2 removed. Well my teeth are all crooked so I guess it will be good once my brace is on which should be before Christmas. Another thing I mentioned was I was going to be painting the fence in the back garden, well I haven't got onto that yet so I guess I'll have to try and have that done sometime in September, hopefully by the end of the month. Today I walked to my Dad's house at about 1:15 PM and got there just before 2 PM. I went on Skype with Ceejay (Chris) from 2 PM until 9 PM and we talked about everything, that guy is awesome and we are going to Skype again on Thursday. Also Ceejay/Chris has posted a link to my website on the BHBFC (Brierley Hill Bullets Football Club) which he does the website for. So hopefully he will increase my visitorship. At the same time I have installed a code tonight on the website which will now allow me to see all the visitors to the site, where they are from, their IP address and their ISP. I have also noticed I have had 24 visitors from London, 23 visitors from the United Kingdom and 11 visitors from Billingham, so even locally I am popular. This data came from the guest map on the front page. One last thing, my website may be getting translated into Spanish, so hopefully that will also increase my visitorship. Well that's my update for the start of September. Please leave comments.
