Monday
Well the snow is almost gone over here, but it was warm today, temperatures at 2 Celcius (35 F). There isn't really any snow around, just black ice and sludge. Hopefully it will completely go. Before I get started I'd like to thank James who is advertising the website across Blog TV. James, if there is any way at all I can repay you, just say so. Today I woke up and my Mum left for work early, so I got dressed and watched TV. I watched Heartbeat on ITV 3 which is a show set in a Yorkshire village in the 60s. I switched over to the BBC News and it was snowing in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. It was really coming down, I then checked the weather and it was 0 C (32 F) and snowing. This worried me as Huddersfield isn't exactly a million miles from here! It is opposite Halifax and about 30 miles past Leeds & Bradford. Anyway I went to school and when I came home I watched Jeremey Kyle on ITV 2 (+1). He is a guy who sorts out family issues, it is filmed in Manchester. I also ate some chips and some chocolate. I was full by the time Dave came home from work. At least I managed to force down tea, I had pork chops and Yorkshire puddings. After that I listened to Skyrock and talked to people on MSN. Then I went to the running club, but discovered it was closed. So we came home and I listened to Skyrock some more and then at 7:00 PM I went in the shower. I enjoyed it. Then I put my pjamas on and listened to some music, at 8:00 PM I put 1Radio on because my friend is doing a music show on there, I am listening to him now as I write this and he is brilliant. 1Radio.org. I am thinking of doing a few slots on there, well maybe in the near future. It is currently 8:30 PM and he finishes at 9 PM, then Flashforward is on Five from 9-10 PM then I will go to bed. The webcam is currently up and viewing the Nuclear Power Plant in Hartlepool. Enjoy.

Snow is finally melting!
This morning I woke up and watched a couple of episodes of Lost (Season 2). I also ate some bread and butter, cheese slices, chips (crisps) and a chocolate muffin. I enjoyed it. After Lost I went in the shower, and heres what I do to save time. I brush my teeth while I am in the shower. After I was out the shower I got dressed and watcghed another episode of Lost. Dave and Dawn were out walking around the Seaton Carew area of Hartlepool. When they came back I logged on and have just been talking to Darryl and listening to Skyrock since then. Anyway the current temperature is 4 C (39 F) so the snow is melting quite quick. Bad news is there is more forecast tomorrow and Tuesday according to Google :( Usually the UK is mild in the winter because of the gulf stream, but that runs around the Atlantic. This is a snow storm from the Russian area of Siberia so the gulf stream is currently inactive. Last year we didn't have alot of snow, it was just rain. Oh well. Strangely, right now it is -1 C (30 F) in Paris, France and -9 C (15 F) in New York City. These are all locations which are all South of me yet they are colder!
Bad Weather
We are having alot of snow over here, it hasn't rained for a long time, just snow, none stop. I am sick of it now though and wish the rain would come! Anyway I woke up this morning at about 7 AM but was still tired so I went back to sleep and woke at 9:45 AM. I went to sleep with Classic FM on as well, but I didn't turn it on at 7 AM, it was on all night. Classic FM is a national FM radio station in the UK. Anyway after I got up I watched TV and then rang Dave at about 12 PM. After that we went to a cafe in Billingham Town Center and I managed to get a few photos and videos of the town covered with snow. At about 1:45 PM we left the cafe and went to Tesco. I couldn't be bothered to go because we had been the previous night (Friday). So I bet Dawn that I could make it home before they did and guess what? I actually won £5! When I rang Dave to tell him that I had made it home they went to Debbie's (Dawn's sister's) house to discuss going back to France in August, after I have left school. We will probably be driving there, instead of flying. That is good because my favourite radio station is a national FM station in France, it's called Skyrock and plays rap and r&b, both French and English. I did an update to the website today. The webcam is back! It will be up most of the time. The camera I am using is my old iPhone 3G (Yes the one I lost in York, and then that nice woman from Wakefield found it). It is great. According to Darryl, it actually captures the snow as it falls. I knew the iPhone cam was good but I didn't think it was THAT good. I will only be broadcasting the back garden, or maybe the view over the back of my garden. It is also mobile so I can broadcast in the car. If we do drive to France I will broadcast the whole 16 hour journey! We went to the cinema today at about 3:15 PM, it was CineWorld in Middlesbrough, and we went to see Avatar in 3D. That was also good. After that we went to McDonalds. We didn't end up getting home until about 9 PM. I went in the shower at about 10PM and listened to the radio. Now I am just writing about my day on my blog! I will probably go to bed soon. Before I do one last thing about the snow, it is about 5 or 6 inches in some areas of my town, if not more. Plus the weather doesn't really get warm over here until April. It's not over yet though.

Jamie Peterson - Getting Out Of Control?
Hello Everyone, tonight is going to be a special post on the individual Jamie Peterson, from Justin.TV. Today's question of the day: Is Jamie Peterson getting out of control? The answer is yes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few months back, early November, a really good friend of mine emailed me and told me about this new blog that had appeared. Mr Mac's New JTV Woodshed. I read the latest post and they were talking about Jamie Peterson and Drew4848. I actually enjoyed reading it, and was laughing for a long time at the post. Thats when I became a fan of this blog. JTV True Lies & Gossip which is the blog of Jamie Peterson, slags off Mr Mac continuously referring to him as "Pedo Mac". Now many of you know that during the weekend I was in Oxford, but in the early hours of Sunday Morning I received an email from that very same mate I mentioned earlier. He now tells me that Jamie has a new JTV channel. Elitefilms. Let me explain it, the name is shit, the channel layout is shit and there is about 2 minutes of him messing about with the settings. Although the channel advertises they are playing "Orphan". Still being a fan of the JTV Woodshed I decide to go and tell everyone about his new channel and how shit it is. This morning I log onto JTV TL&G and what do I discover? Peterson has wrote about me on his blog! Here is what he had wrote.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone remember JackB? No, we thought not.

Anyone remember JackB? No, we thought not.
To bring you up to date, after getting expelled from JTV, he fled to a web site on blogspot.com. You can see there his pathetic attempts at writing a blog. If the Olympics had a gold medal for sheer mindless boredom, he'd win it hands down.
If you want a good laugh, look at his videos of 'pulling up the carpet'. Videos of paint drying might offer an even more stupefyingly mind-numbing experience, but it's a tough call. We all know Jack has psychological problems (i.e. perving after schoolgirls), but the wild, uncoordinated camera movements suggest he suffers from St Vitus Dance as well. As the textbook says, a neurological disorder characterised by purposeless, rapid, involuntary movements.
Poor chap. We doubt if anyone looked at his blog. You can help secure his future by donating to the Billingham Home for Gormless Delinquents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets begin. Firstly JTV is run by a bunch of San Francisco monkeys who have NO idea what they are doing and have no idea how to run a website. You have no right to sit there and criticize my blog by calling it pathetic, unlike yours. My blog is different when I update it, instead of the same rubbish "Pedo Mac did this, Pedo Mac did that". I don't just go on and on about one individual. Also my blog has 9 followers, I'd love to see how many yours has. My carpet videos has had a 5 star rating. You have no videos anyway, so come on Peterson, lets see if YOUR camera movements are any better. Also, at least with the videos I am not just sitting here writing about what I did, I can also record what I did so people can see it on video as well as read about it. Finally, going back to one of your earlier posts about "Pedo Mac" this is what you wrote:
"Sorry the presents the last little while probably haven't been quite as exciting as they were when you were a little boy but, well, you know how these things go (*wink*)."
I'm sorry Peterson, that makes no sense. Now it's not going to look good when you are applying for the position of "bog floor sweeper" in McDonalds and they find out you can't speak your own language now, is it? Seriously Peterson, I would lay off, I am going to be reporting your blog for deformation of a minor. If that fails then I am not really interested. If you want to keep writing posts about me then go ahead, it's not as if anyone reads your shitty blog now, is it?

Dave Sunbathing - Caught on Google Maps!
I only noticed this a couple of weeks ago but thought I would share it. In the summer when it gets hot, Dave likes to go out to sunbathe in the garden with only shorts on and no shirt. Google Maps captured Dave while he was sunbathing! Heres the screenshot, you can easily tell its our house because you can see Dave's orange Fiat on the drive. Click for full view.
Update
I know I haven't updated for a million years but here we go:
Next week is work experience but I am not going on it because of the stupid risk assesment crap. I failed it, and I didn't even do anything so I don't know how that works out. Today I was at school anyway, but had to leave at 2:20 PM which is the end of period 4 and start of period 5 (last) because I had a dentist appointment, I might be getting braces soon. So I met my mum in Billingham Town Centre where the dentist is. This morning in asembly (we have our asembly on Friday) we were told about how the police had been in contact with the school and asked to identify a pupil from our school who was caught shoplifting in a shop! Another one was where a group of kids, also from my school, who were throwing mud at an elderley person's house! It was about 8:45 PM, on a Thursday Night. I think its dispicible and disgraceful the image put across about the youths in this town, it is only the minority of course. Right now I am talking to Darryl and listening to my new favourite radio station, Skyrock. Skyrock is a national radio station in France on FM and the Internet, they are on 96.0 FM in Paris. The transmitter is on the Eiffel Tower. Tomorrow I am going to Oxford to watch Ebbsfleet play. Recently they won 2 games, Mansfield (Nottinghamshire) last Saturday and Stevenage (Northamptonshire) on Tuesday (I think). We are stopping at a Premier Inn hotel right near the football ground. I have to get up at about 7:00 or 7:30. I look forward to the radio stations I will receive. I will update tomorrow if I get Internet. Also, my dad's mad friend, Jimmy is going to Sheffield tomorrow to see Reading play, he went to Derby last Saturday.
