Welcome

This website is to give my distant friends around the world a window into my life and allow me to share my sense of humour, pictures and writings.


18XS website was first published on 24th August 2008 and closed September 2009 after reaching over half a million hits but I felt so much of what I had written about no longer applies after the rebuild of my life.


A new version of 18XS was published on 12th November 2009 and I hope this updated version will show my successful recovery from what was a painful divorce.

 I will continue to add new material as time permits.

Time arrives for some new news
following months of a boring void.

Apple Applies for a Patent to Remotely Disable Jailbroken / Unauthorized iPhones

I truly believe in this area Apple have lost the plot and become detached from their customer base while clearly suffering from delusions of Corporate Grandeur. 

Dictatorial behaviour from manufacturers who suffer from delusions of Grandeur and Self Esteem would do well to recall the past history of Microsoft that not only strived to conquer the world but be a ruling power over its customer base. It is clear Microsoft have learned from that grave error and taken some steps to heal the damage done. 

Apple Computers in their infancy still have this hard lesson to learn in their futile attempts to have control over their customer base. Without recognising the US Court ruling of Jail breaking an iPhone or iPad “IS LEGAL” they continue to apply for a Patent to Remotely Disable Jailbroken / Unauthorized iPhones. 

Well Mr Steve Jobbs CEO of Apple let me advise you I have Jailbroken my iPhone 4 which I consider to be my personal property to do as I wish with. Should Apple disable its operation I will without notice cancel my direct debit to o2 as my provider stating the device has been illegally? Disabled by its manufacturer and o2 will need to contact Apple for any financial loss. 

Apple have sold millions of iPhones if only 25% of customers take this stance the Walls of Apple will crumble. Apple may in the illusions of the corporate minds carry supreme authority yet I suggest that power and authority can be taken away by its customer base in a very surprising short period of time.

In short Apple you need to yield before you become beheaded by your customer base.
You have been given notice!

Authority resides not in your hands.

Talk Talk Scam. FREE trial !!!

Talk Talk trying to boost there market share price on the stock market by - 

Offering a 30 day Free trial via door step cold callers. This so called Free Trial cost me £45, well not quite because Talk Talk have not taken me onboard before and had no idea who they were trying to con.

Payment will never be made in English Currency but I can guarantee payment will be made all be it not to their preference. Watch this space.

Talk Talk or their legal department in crime are now applying the harassment technique to screw money out of me by phoning me almost on a daily basis. They have no idea I am amused by their futile antics.

I have found it very interesting that I have reported to them on many occasions that their sales person quoted me a “30 day Free Trial” I take their lack of interest in this extreamly relevant legal point to commit them as being party to the fraud.
 
Working on the reasonable assumption that if their sales person was working outside Talk Talks remit they would take an interest and to take action against the sales force that were making false claims. This is apparently NOT the case and presumably in the absence of a denial Talk Talk condone this corrupt marketing technique.

Waiting for the “Thud” of the landing of a High Court Injunction through my letter box.

16th December.
Another harassing phone call from TalkTalk today in an attempt to screw money out of me. When I was ask to answer their security questions which is a requirement of the data protection act before they can continue, I gloated  and without answering their questions which I had no obligation to do. I directed them to
www.18xs.co.uk

Remember if you get harassed by any company whatever the reason, you only need to refuse to answer their security questions and they are “Fucked” they simply cannot proceed.


__________________________

What a busy life I am compelled to lead. I have been left in waiting over Xmas for a further Court Summons to thud through my letter box and wake me from my sleep; divorce can be world war 10 for those who are not able to negotiate terms.

My not unreasonable view has extinguished an authority that possessed delusions it had supreme rule over me, without taking into account the view of my pears that yield the Sabre of Supremacy and cry War in my defence. In base verse, I think the expression be. Fuck with me not.


Update o2 have revised

Delusions of supreme grandeur are the grave stone for past Kings.

Oh bugger, bugger is it possible for the shit to get any deeper I have fallen into.

Events are still piling up and testing my resolve.

[1st] My Bank cancels my account in a letter saying the account is in dispute with my ex and all my standing orders are cancelled.

[2nd] A substantial amount of money has vanished into Cyber space paid to me by Nottingham Council as a refund.

[3rd] And not least my bloody iPhone has died. Not sure if someone in high authority is not try to convey a message to me or not.


Should that be the case, may he be advised I am conscious of his presence.

Know me to be a man that never yields in face of danger.


__________________________

Had an absolutely fantastic last few days.

Bank manager was very sympathetic to my demise and offered an instant solution to my unfortunate position recognising I had been a victim of circumstances not of my making.

Offering to open a new account in my name with immediate effect and said I would receive a new Direct debit card by Monday, (which arrived early on Friday)

Just when I thought life was rewarding with unjust deserves I took my buggered iPhone to a repair shop in Nottingham expecting him to say he couldn’t help. He took a brief look at the problem and said he could fix it for about £25. Still suffering from expectations that he may report later a different diagnosis, I left it with him.


After arriving home some 3 hours later I get a phone call to say my iPhone is fixed and the cost £20 At this point I had to revaluate my fortunes and consider I am having a good day.

The outstanding honesty and high standards of this shop proprietor who refused to take a £5 tip is beyond belief. I can do no more than publish his name as Ali on Mobile Phone Repairs Tel: 07950 111111 there are not many guys like him around.

“Low” Score in
“Latent Inhibition”

Why do we humans block out certain incoming information?

Why do men often ignore there wife’s when they are being spoken too. This may at first be misunderstood by women and she may in the absence of deeper understanding make confusion and judge the bastard has chosen to ignore her. The effects to follow are in the least unhelpful and at worst destructive for the marriage. When following many years of this kind of abuse it may be no surprise that the marriage may finally fail with the lady sighting in divorce proceedings “Unreasonable Behaviour” leaving the man totally perplexed.

I offer a different explanation that in my opinion runs parallel to Darwin’s theory of evolution and to some measure offers a defence for man’s apparent arrogance.

There have been many papers written and studies reported on “Latent Inhibition” and I would suggest man not be at fault but rather his actions have been learned by man over thousands of years.

“Latent Inhibition” is an involuntary condition that we are all subjected to, both man and women and defined as an animal’s unconscious capacity to ignore stimuli that experience has shown are irrelevant to its needs.

Noting the striking of a cord in recalling myself on occasion in similar experiences, I was further amazed to note this condition when recording a “Low” score in “Latent Inhibition” it is coupled to a creative manifestation of the mind. I am at this time unable to expand on my recent discovery though I am filled with excitement for the prospects of the future.

Is Naught a greater number than infintiy
Animated_Giffs/b116_7.jpg
Take care before you answer for Gravity is reliant on minus. Christ I can't get my head round this.

I am finding myself asking the question. If "Naught” be heavy in weight in comparison to "Infinity" then by definition “Naught” would have a greater Density and Weight for its mass. Christ I need a drink!

18XS Website Relaunch

I had no idea if closing my website 18XS after reaching over half a million hits was a mistake but I became increasingly stressed over some of its contents and decided to pull the plug.

 

After re launching 18XS on the 12th November 2009 with tongue in cheek I had no idea if it would maintain such a successful following as its previous publication. I made the decision that if the site received only one visitor I would maintain it with all my enthusiasm.

 

I can’t begin to describe the humility I have felt by the return of so many of my previous readers and friends and thank those of you for taking the time to email me.

Shit stop it

it is hurting

Having a bad day today if it can go wrong it has. Only found out tonight nobody is getting my text messages from my mobile. Spent ages on the phone to o2 and need to wait for a new sim card.

I bought a Coffee machine on eBay that finally arrived this morning at 8:00am, my first disaster was to pull the front door over my bear foot ripping it open and was very painful. Some Blue Mountain beans from Jamaica arrived later, connected machine to water supply. The machine is a Profesional Cappuccino maker and has to be plumbed in. Switched it on and left it to heat up. Eventually the fuse trip blew. I assume the seller hadn’t used the machine for a long time or tested it because the inlet water valve had seized which caused the heater to melt on power up. It is really stupid for a £1600 machine not to have a safety cut out.

Feeling somewhat pissed off I drove to B&Q to buy a large enough spanner to get the element out which cost £26. Spent the rest of the afternoon on Google trying to find a company who has a heater element in stock, the only company I could find listing the heater as a spare are quoting £66 delivered but they are closed till Jan 5th so I don’t know if they have one in stock.

Feeling nothing else can go wrong today I discovered my website is not available due to an administration error over my payments to the hosting company even though I paid over a month ago.

Clearly I need to get a life.

Before time began, before there was nothing, not even a void.

I cast a shadow
Main_Pics/Daffy_Duck_100w.jpg

I was a mere existence. This is how the Universe started from nothing.

It all started one day with an exploding implosion that accelerated from zero to infinity in the blink of an eye. Make no error in your assumption this is heavy shit.

For the first time Gravity came into play and changed everything.

This was the "Start" of the Universe.
Its weight and density became greater than its source.

The missing ingredient before the start was velocity and it came into play at the very second of the exploding implosion that accelerated from zero to infinity in the blink of an eye. This created an immeasurable Mass of indescribable Density.

This was the birth of our Universe when its weight, mass and velocity began increasing from its Start. This moment in time is known by a common name which many are familiar with, I speak of the “Creation”

I now pose a question, was this the hand of God or was it defined by mathematical formulas written even before time began? I have a tendency to make favour towards the later and offer our existence today is evidence of where we came from rather rely on the mercy of a God that fails to offer any explanation and is only reliant on faith without any supporting data.

In our Universe E=mc2 works but only after the “Start"

The effects of modern technology on us are amazing.
Just been emailed to me from a very sophisticated lady from Gosport, Hampshire.
"THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER" I am creased up on the floor laughing.

Animated_Giffs/laugh.gif

THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER

Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my
husband that my breasts are too small.. Instead of characteristically
telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion.

If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet
paper and rub it between them for a few seconds.'

Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and standing in
front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.

'How long will this take?' I asked.


They will grow larger over a period of years,' my husband replies.
I stopped. 'Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between
my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?'

Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your 'bum', didn't it?"


He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy,
he may even walk again,
although he will probably continue to take his meals through a straw.

Buggered and Battered

I now know the errors of my ways as I prepare to leave this earth and yield before women
