Calling all Xbox Live users...

You lot probably already knew this, but I discovered today that you can put your Gamercard onto your blog! So I did! Whether or not this is a good idea is yet to be proven, but I like it there for now.

I have a one-month free trial on Gold membership until I get relegated back to Silver, and I don't really know what to do with it... anyone want to give me a few pointers? Feel free to add me as a contact on Live, too, because I sure as hell don't know how to do it. Mah name is Twysteh. Shush. It's the only spelling that was close enough to the name I wanted and wasn't already taken.

If you -don't- know how to add your Gamercard, and you want to, just follow these simple steps:

1. Go to your Dashboard.
2. Click on Layout.
3. Choose Add a Page Element.
4. Select HTML/Java Script from the options given.
5. Name your element, and type the following text into the Content box:

<%iframe src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/YOUR GAMERTAG HERE.card" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" height="140" width="204"%>Put your gamertag here too.<%/iframe%>

All you have to do to make it work is remove the % signs in the text, and replace the "YOUR GAMERTAG HERE" text with, well, your Gamertag.

Geekery for me!

When Sarai posted the photos of her geeky jewellery a few weeks (months?) ago, I knew I had to have some. So I very kindly pleaded with her, and the day before EFX went down the other week, a sparkly package arrived on my doormat! Oh ok, so it wasn't sparkly, it was brown. But it was a package of joy, for when I openeded it up, lookit what I found!


A choker and bracelet set made of orangey-bluey goodness. No, I don't know what the bits are... ask Sarai!


A very cute bracelet of black chains with blue and black danglies...


And this, my absolute favourite. A silver chain with a skull-mounted heart, and more blue and black danglies. I wear this ALL the time. I'm wearing it now, actually!



A close up of the charm on the above necklace.


And then, when I thought the joy was ending, I spied with my little eye another little gifty that absolutely made my day...


Ducky stickers!!!!


So far I haven't opened the stickers, the whole packet is stuck with blu-tack onto my wall. :D

And there you have it... wonderful geekery, all for me! Yay! Big thank yous to Sarai for taking the time to send me these things, I love them!

Who Pissed Off The Breakfast Fairy?

Yesterday, at around 5am, Tom and I were woken by a thud against the front door. We sat in bed for a moment, dazed and waiting for the knock to come again. We assumed it was the guy from upstairs' crazy ex-girlfriend, who came a-knockin' at 6am a few weeks earlier. No following noise was to be heard, though, so Tom bravely donned his dressing gown and went to the door. What did he see, upon opening said door?

Eggs. Four or five smashed eggs on the doorstep, the last of which had hit the bottom of the door and shattered all over it. He came back inside, looking slightly bemused, and we assumed Crazy Ex had been back for a little playtime. He got a bucket of water later that day, and slooshed the eggies off the steps as well as he could, but anyone who has ever tried to clear up smooshed eggs several hours after they've been thrown, will know it's no easy task.

This morning, at around 8am, Tom decided to get up and go void his bladder. He pulled on that dressing gown once again, opened his bedroom door and stopped dead. What was that on the mat, just inside the door?

Someone had very kindly posted through his letterbox a single, solitary rasher of uncooked bacon. He opened the front door, just out of curiosity, and found that either James had a REALLY crazy ex, or someone had seriously pissed off the breakfast fairy. Be warned, the following photos are not for the faint of stomach:






We really don't have a clue who could've bombarded the house with an almost Full English. We're half expecting toast and/or mushrooms tomorrow. It'd be easier to understand if it was all down the street, but no. Someone has targeted this house specifically. They've taken the time to stick a piece of bacon, and processed cheese, to the door, place a can of beans very careful on the step, and drape sausages over the railings!

On a more serious note, there's probably about three meals worth of food on the doorstep at the moment, and that pisses me off. I can't stand people wasting food, especially when we're being told that there's a shortage.

It's ALIVE!!!

So I went for my customary peek at the EFX2 homepage this morning, just to check if we were still down, and still clueless, and I spotted a whole heap of comments on the Live Chat exclaiming happiness and joy! It would appear that efx2 is alive again!

This is the post from Kelly (Chica) on the CL's blog:

So I've finally figured out the problem, I've dabbled about in the control panel off and on this whole time debating and trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

It was the IP addresses. I'm not sure what made it different, or if anyone added an IP address to the list (the CL's with access to the main CP) That's the only scenario I can paint with that, because I can't figure out why else it would have done that. There were several wildcard IPs too, which block a whole range of IP's. So I removed ALL banned IP address's, and then came back to check things out and it let me login.

So, it's back alive, and wow what a pain in all of our asses. I am worried though that the spam that was blocked via IP (dunno why) will come back, so the CL's need to stay on their toes with that. I'd suggest not banning any more IP address's at all, but rahter painfully delete every setup that spam makes here.

So yeah, that's about it, and welcome back folks.

Now, the question that goes begging is this: Do I go back? Will any of you guys go back?

The mind ponders...

"Hi, I'm a Marvel..." "...and I'm Batman."

Was browsing YouTube yesterday when I came across this lovely little piece of hilarity:



I duly subscribed to "ItsJustSomeRandomGuy", and to my delight discovered that ALL his videos are like this! YAY!

So, for your viewing pleasure, here are part 2...


...part 3...


...and part 4.


Yeah, I know, a lot of videos... but they're good. Go check out some of his other vids, too. The channel is here.

Twisteh, the Cute Years.

Another post inspired by Sarai (catching up on my 'lerts...): Baby photos! I've found a few, so feast your eyes...

At just a year old, in a straw hat that I'm fairly sure wasn't mine...


Three years old, at Christmas...


Ten years old, in my favourite pinafore dress. Yes Bebbet, I know I'm wearing pink. Just... shush, ok?


Around ten again, on the beach in... Dorset, I think.
