These are from the Joys And Sorrows Website - check it out - it's a great site! Q: What do you say to a Villa fan with a good looking bird on his arm? A: Nice tattoo. Q: Did you hear that the British Post Office has just recalled their latest stamps? A: Well, they had photos of Villa players on them - folk couldn’t figure out which side to spit on. A man desperate at the Villa’s current situation decides to top himself. In his living room, alone, he prepares to hang himself. At the very lastmoment, he decides upon wearing his full Villa kit as his last statement. A neighbour, catching sight of the impending incident, informs the police. On arrival, the police quickly remove the Villa kit and dress the man in stockings and suspenders. The man, totally confused asks why. The policeman simply replies, “It’s to avoid embarrassing the family, sir.” Q: What do you call a Villa fan with lots of girlfriends? A: A shepherd. Read on for more............... Fri, 14 Apr 2006 16:03:29 -0400 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=228 So, 5 games to go and the big derby at Villa is waiting for us next Sunday at 7am NY / 12pm UK. Shouldn't really be counting on other teams, but we really need Arsenal to do the the business against Portsmouth on Wednesday. I'm currently looking at the table and hoping that's the position we finish up with in 4 weeks time. It's gonna be a long 4 weeks. Waiting for the EPL Review show to come on and catch up..... but grrrrrrr it's delayed 'till 9pm! I have the darned EPL Theme tune in my head, so here's the trailer from You Tube! Keep right on......... SOTV!!! Sun, 09 Apr 2006 20:00:00 -0400 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=227 My new ThinkPad T60P (200793U) arrived last week all the way from Hong Kong! Although the support and software from Lenovo is great, the laptop also came pre-loaded with a whole tonne of apps which I didn't need. So, here's a quick "how-to" on creating a custom XP boot disk with the latest drivers and patches: Step 1 After your very first boot-up of your T60P, the C: drive will get converted to NTFS and you are prompted for computer name, user information, network setup etc. Enter all these details Step 2 Launch Rescue And Recovery - take a backup of your system to CD/DVD. This is so as you can get back to this "original factory state" should anything go wrong. The backup takes about 6 CD's. Read on for more.......

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 19:45:01 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=225 A little Welsh lad is practicing his footie skills down the local park. He has one of those portable walls which he moves around to change the angle so he can shoot from different areas of the field. He takes 50 kicks at goal, and every one finds the back of the net. David O'Leary is watching and walks down to talk to the young man. "How old are you son?" asks O'Weary "13" Replies the young fellow. "Well I am very impressed with your shooting" continues Weary. "I must say if you continue in this vein of form, when you get older you may be good enough to play for the Villa" "F*ck off" said our hero "it's bad enough being Welsh" Thu, 19 Jan 2006 20:25:13 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=224 Fed up with those crappy lifts (elevators) at Clark Street station that ALWAYS break down?

Romeo would be good, but you can't really join in with that, so Mr Bluesky gets my vote. Land of Hope and Glory is a close runner up. WATCH, LISTEN AND VOTE NOW! Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:20:28 -0400 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=222 So, what's been going on in the world since I last posted anything here? Well firstly there was this stupid story about a school in the UK that allows it's schoolchilden to swear at their teacher up to 5 times in any particular lesson. Woah! That's like 40 times per day! Holy macaroni! When I were a lad, I'd be caned for even thinking of swearing! What is the world coming to?! On a happier note, I'm please to report a story on an old fave - Jen Garner. She's reportedly said to love her biscuits. And so do I! :) (There's nothing quite like a cuppa tea n' biscuits) It's been a while since I posted anything on Britters, but I did find that Britney Has Her Sets Sights on Sin City which would be awesome news! Plus, there's also a rumour that she'll call her next kid London. Noice. Lap Dancing. If a girl asks for a dance, it's always polite to say yes. In fact, it could save your life. I hope that richii.com chewy tip saves your life one day! More chewy stories later! Mon, 05 Sep 2005 17:49:11 -0400 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=221 Wowsers, it's been almost 2 months since I last added anything to the site. Anyway, now that I'm back from my European travels, the server has now been updated and I've posted up some fresh, chewy choons in the dance chart! If you only pick up 2 choons this summer, then these must be: Perasma - Swing To Harmony (Edu Jimenez Vs DJ Nano Remix) and BT - Force Of Gravity (Ferry Corsten Bootleg Remix). Awesome vocal trance for the last days of summer! The charts for July, August and September can all be found here. Chewy!

After a few hours, his lawyer says to him: "We need to relax and take our minds off things, how about I go rent a DVD?" "That's a good idea," says Michael in his squeaky voice. "Shall I get Aladdin?" "No, just the DVD, I'm already in enough trouble." Tue, 08 Mar 2005 01:00:00 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=212 Don't live in NYC? Can't get to see The Gates?

Tue, 22 Feb 2005 21:47:45 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211 Hmmm - why were my Cabin Crew not like this on Monday? Time for another fresh choon! This one takes the chorus from "Waiting For a Star To Fall" by Boy Meets Girl, loops it around, adds a beat and voila - a catchy track that I keep hearing everywhere right now! 2005 - the year of re-worked 80's tracks? See the video on www.ministryofsound.com (Out on 28 Feb in the UK!) Thu, 17 Feb 2005 23:45:14 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=210 Wowsers! It's been over 2 months since my last posting! HP New Year everyone! First off, if anyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day this year, then I want to hook you up for next year. Simply book a flight on American Airlines, and I'm sure you'll have a fun time like I did. This year, I chose La Guardia airport for my stay and I spent 5 fantastic hours there on Monday. Superb stuff. And as a special bonus I got to check in TWICE and get screened TWICE by security (mmmm - those friskin's!). Ummmm - they love to scribble on my ticket and give me special attention. Maybe they just want to check out those special Xmas socks I was wearing. What's also great is that they give you chance to take part in a sport - it's sort of a running/boxing type of event. 10 mins before take off they declare my flight is cancelled. Then there's a mad stampede to the counter. Even the old lady sitting next to me was out of her chair faster than a Lotus Elise! I was really slow off the mark. You can't really blame me though, as it was the first time I'd been involved in such an event and they don't really teach you this at school. Basically, there's a huge fight as people push to the front and come up with imaginitve excuses as to why they need to get on the very next flight. By the time I got my chance to argue, all that was left was a plane leaving in 3 hours. But don't get disheartened. American Airlines are great because they have this great section where you can sit down and watch planes come in and take off and you can ask yourself why all these other airlines are flying, but AA are not. You'll have bags of time to ask this question. And then the icing on the cake is when the plane you are waiting for comes in an extra hour late! Mmmm - is that a treat or what! Don't forget to check out Stacey the kind newsagent lady too - she has a store full of magazines and chewy treats to keep you busy. But no hot food though. I had such an awesome time, I know who I'll be flying with next time! P.S. If you're extra lucky - they'll throw in a 2 hour wait on the tarmac on the return portion of the journey! WOOT WOOT!! (More chewy tales here). Thu, 17 Feb 2005 23:25:53 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=209 Ummmmm - Pioneer have updated their European Plasma range! The PDP-504HDE has now been replaced the most awesome PDP-505XDE! Heaven! 7 Billion Colours! Now that's what I call fresh! Watch the advert. Be sure to check out the technology basics movie too - it's fascinating! (Ok, it is a bit geeky - but so what, it's Christmas!) But why, oh why, is this model not coming to the US market? No sign of an updated model on the Pioneer Pure Vision US Website :( I want my additional 6 billion colours! They are important to me! Mon, 13 Dec 2004 20:43:26 -0500 http://about.richii.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=208 Those arrogant muppets called Aston Villa got their just deserts today when Blues showed them once again their current status in the table doesn't count for squat. Just like 2 years ago, their goalie suffered a nasty. Bad luck (not). It was an almost identical screw up as last time which saw Sorensen fumble the ball and Blues up 1-0 in the opening 10 minutes. Very similar to Peter Enckleman's blunder. Ten minutes later, a second goal for Blues and Vile didn't know what had hit them. It was their arrogant attidude of "just turn up and we'll win" which let them down. A consolation goal in extra time for them, left it 2-1 to Blues - though Blues had several chances in the first half that perhaps should have made it 5-0 at half time. Anyway - Olof Mellberg is my most hated Villa man at the moment - first for these stupid comments and then for his attempt to headbutt several Blues players after a decision went against him. As a "captain" (I use that term loosely when talking about the Vile) you should know better. O'Leary is also on my hate list for his post-match comment of "We're the better team". Errr - cleary if you were, you would have won! Enuff said! Chewy links: Aston Villa 1-2 Birmingham (BBC News) Birmingham stun Villa with 2-1 derby win (Reuters) Birmingham City defeats Aston Villa to win second city derby (AP) Oh yeah, and just for fun - here is the classic Enckleman goalie gaff!
