I’ve made a 24 clock screensaver. I’ve tried to make it as close as possible to the actual clock used in 24. I even took screenshots and then traced the characters. I need to get a life 😀

I wanted to keep a note of these links, so here they are:

WHo says star wars fans are geeks?? Someone has turned the Millenium Falcon into a PC. How cool is that??

It was Bo’ness Fair day today. The weather wasn’t great, but most people seemed to enjoy it. The grounds of the town hall were really busy – I guess about 2000 people, and eveyone did their bit. I was mainly there to see my next door neighbour who was a presentee. Each school has a group of presentees who perform a dance on the stage for the Queen of the fair. She did really well. I have some pictures, so I may post them.

I finished The order of the Phoenix uk?us last night at 2am, so I’m not sure what to read next. I’ve been waiting so long it’s a bit of an anticlimax to be finished.I go through phases of reading all the time, and then reading nothing for ages. I do love beeks though, and I’ve got at least 500 in my room. At the moment I’m reading “The Vanished Man” uk?us by Jeffrey Deaver. It’s a Lincoln Rhyme mystery and I’m really enjoying the book. Deaver’s books are always so full of twists and turns that you are never sure it’s over until the final sentence.

Hail! to our Queen
Hail! to our Queen
Hail! to our Queen
Our Queen Today

We hail our chosen Queen today
To her our humble homage pay,
While music swells mid banners gay,
and sunbeams gild the scene,
Her faithful subjects see her crowned,
With all her lords and ladies round,
And then our happy shouts resound,
All hail our chosen Queen.

Chorus

Hail! Hail! Our Queen Today,
Hail! Hail! Our chosen Queen
Now raise your voices with a cheer,
Hurray! for our Queen.

Repeat Chorus

(words: A Thomson, Music:L. Dyer Appleby)

Bo’ness – Children’s Fair
There are songs too:
See The Summer Sun Is Gleaming
Shining Bright O’er Land And Sea,
Nature’s face with smiles is beaming
Symbol of festivity
All the Earth is gay and gaudy,
Mirth and joy together stray,
Bright Sol lendeth All his glory,
To illume Our Festal Day.

Hail! Hail! Hail!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
With a laugh loud and long,
with and dance and a song,
We hail our festal day

Woods have donn’d their fairest garments,
Flowers, refreshed with morning dew,
Brighten sylvan nook and valley,
With the beauty of their hue.
Hill and upland, green and golden,
Where the whin and broom hold sway
Echo back the glandsome chorus
Hail! All Hail Our Festal Day,

Hail! Hail! Hail!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
With a laugh loud and long,
with a dance and a song,
We hail our Festal Day.

(Words:R.Fleming, Music:E.C.Schofield)

There’s another one about “we hail our festal queen today” but I can’t find it online – which is a scandal! 🙂 I’ll see if I can find it to transcribe!

I’m going on Holidaty to New York at the end of September and, to get myself in the mood (like i need any help) I made myself a New York Screensaver(3MB) using images I took last year. I recently bought myself a copy of Flashwiz, and used the imagewiz part of this to create the screensaver (even although I had to do some workarounds to get thigs to work properly)

I don’t htink I’ve mentioned befeore that I’m a Big Brother fan. My favourite this year, for lots of reasons, is Cameron. One of the things that impresses me the most is how he has behaved. He is a Christian, as am I, and I’ve often wondered how I would behave if I went in for Big Brother (not that they’d pick me.) I reckon if I could act the way he has in the house I’d be pretty satisfied. It’s a huge amount of pressure and he’s shown a difference in him. I’ve been impressed.
Right now, according to Digital Spy he’s waiting to go to South Africa. He’s wandering round the reward room humming and singing songs. So far I’ve recognised:
Way beyond the blue
In Christ Alone (Which I only learned recently)
Amazing Grace
and Blessed assurance
