(Note... Good Andy !)...

New office / Xbox chair

Just right for working from home / fragging n00bs !

Small changes to the website

On the main page you should now see "Its Ross.cc!" in the top left hand corner, if not press "F5".

This fixes two problems.

1) You now only need to use one "scoll bar" to look through old posts on the main page.

2) Photos will now display properly... not that ive added any new one's since 2006 !

Enjoy !

Snow dogs!

Doing well at the Holt...

... Jade got two awards today.. out of 200 odd kids in her year she has been awarded:

(She had to go up in front of all the kids to pick these up !)

1) English - Significant Effort


2) PE - Most Improved Performer

Flyball 2009 ... almost over

Well, training stops on November 28th for Christmas (that and its too wet and cold in December for training !).

The new and improved Rooky Racers team is running under 20 seconds in training, and the Rooky Raiders are only a few seconds slower.

We have a new box on order from the Water Orton Dogs flyball team they have given us a big discount in exchange for showing it round competitions down South in 2010. Lets hope its as good as our current Pete Cave KV9.

Halloween 2009

Jade went to a friends party from 4 to 9:30pm and had a great time...





Haydon and I went to Granma's house and he went Trick or Treating down the street...

New Simons Cat :-)

I love the bit where he gits his claw stuck... its just like Hobo ! (You need sound on for this !)

lol.. this will be me soon !

lol !

Here's a sure-fire way to get noticed: take an overly trite expression and apply it literally to your complaint. Case in point: Unlimited IT, so exasperated by South Africa's leading supplier of slow internet connectivity that it pitted a Telkom ADSL line against a real-live homing pigeon in a 60-mile data transmission race. The pigeon arrived with the 4GB memory stick in just over an hour with another hour required to load the data onto the computer. As for Telkom? Well, after 2 hours it had barely reached 4%. Point made.

The big 10,000 !!!

Congratulations to Haydon for getting 10,000 gamer points today (he could have got this this age's ago... but as he was using my Gamertag for a few years he was held back a bit !).

Time to sort out a party ! (not that Claire will understand why! lol!)

Tears Run Rings...

...it's not often you get to meet your childhood hero / heroine.. so full respect to Jon for getting the guts to ask for Marc Almonds picture when he bumped into him in at a restaurant.

Next must be Mike Tyson knowing Jon !

It was not all Flyball at Sellindge !...

Fingers crossed we'll go next year and stay for a long weekend :-)

Bank Holiday weekend plans...

Jade comes home from Pony Club camp this Saturday, so we will be busy packing up the trailer tent, pony and all her junk !.

On Sunday Haydon and I set off to a pub in Hythe:

Pub details



This 10 minutes down the road from a flyball competition in Sellinge.. so fingers crossed the weather is nice and we can walk the dog's on the beach.

Racing is on Monday... lets just hope the traffic is not bad on the way home!

(This is the only place I could find that did B&B for £55 and let your dogs stay for free... everywhere else either said no dogs or £10 per dog per night !... holidaying in the UK with dogs needs planning !)

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo

Well only a few months after starting up the Rooky Racers - the clash of personalities and opionions has split the founding members 50 / 50. (Just want to say nothing to do with me!, I still get on great with everyone !).

Rob, Sarah, Karen and Geoff have left to train with Lightning Strikes, taking the teams fastest dog Indy and most improved dog Indie with them.

It means we now only have 3 division dogs... so no more races in 2010 (Indie has kindly agreed to race in our last two races of 2009) until we can get a starter dog trained up and out of netting.

Talking of Starter dogs they did their first ever race at Imber Court the other weekend... Haydon and Jade did box loading in the absence of Geoff (for 2010 they will be registered to box load real races !).

Im pleased to say the team did fab and won !.

Three of the dogs are potential Rooky Racers... the other is slower and my plan is to get him paired up with Muttley in the Rooky Raiders (our slower team).
