Robert Stewart was discovered in his room by two cleaners at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, south west Scotland, in October last year.

On Wednesday Mr Stewart admitted to sexual breach of the peace in Ayr Sheriff Court, where depute fiscal Gail Davidson described how he had been found by the hostel workers.

She said: “They knocked on the door several times and there was no reply.

“They used a master key to unlock the door and they then observed the accused wearing only a white T-shirt, naked from the waist down. read more..

If there’s one game on planet earth, which I just don’t get, it’s golf! How can you smack a ball around all day and walk behind it, following it to its destination? I just don’t understand. I get the whole social interaction side of it, but you don’t need to follow a ball around all day to do that and if it’s the competitive side of things, you’re going to lose on purpose to win a contract with the latest business associate you have met anyway aren’t you? ;)

That aside, a friend of mine, and golfer, who has shown a great interest in blogging has finally decided to give this a proper bash. I help him out with setting up the domain, hosting and WordPress install, and now he’s ready to go! I’ve given him some pointers on what direction to head and he has some fantastic ideas of his own.

If you are interested in golf and would like to follow Featured Players, Leader Boards and fantastic golf ranges around the world, this is going to be the place to look. The blog is still in alpha phase, so it’s just getting going, but over the next month or two I would say that the ball will be rolling really nicely and you can do the following, cos I don’t follow balls around all day ;)

Hop on over and take a look at all the golfing stuff and tell him what your golf handicap is!

With the launch of Mac OS Leopard, just over 24 hours ago, we see a new, beautiful Mac operating system. I have friends who have purchased their copies already and are jumping around with joy. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to play on it yet, but plan to sooner than later

“There no doubt, Vista and Leopard are both extremely advanced, feature rich consumer operating systems. But way back in January when Vista launched knew we had little choice but pit the two in a head to head chartngraph Thunderdome competition. We know we’re not even going to be able to stop the epic fanboy arguments about break out over this one, so we just ask that you try to keep it fair. Leopard vs. Vista: it’s on.” [via: engadget]

Another breaking story about Leopard is the fact that some hackers have already hacked a version of the operating system to run on a ‘normal’ personal computer – took them 24hours!!

“Well its been only a day since the Mac OSX Leopard was released officially by Apple and the hackers have managed to create a patched DVD that everyone like you and me can use to install Leopard on PC’s without having to buy a Mac. Please note the tutorial that I am going to post is still experimental and things might not work the right way simply because it is still early days in hacking Leopard to work on PC’s. Well if you don’t mind your PC getting screwed then go ahead and try out this tutorial.” [via: dailyapps]

If you have given Mac OS Leopard a try, please leave a comment behind, I’d love to see what others are thinking about it!

I recently found my computer doing a collection of strange things, and after booting up in safety mode, and running a full virus scan, I found the inevitable – Spyware!

Anyway, I found that certain windows functions had been disabled, including the likes of: Shutdown option in Start Menu disabled, regedit disabled, and various adverts popping up in Internet Explorer continually. I took some time to do some research and managed to sort all of this out.. Continue reading →

Lol, you got to love the number of results found on Facebook when you search for Britney Spears! It’s become a habit of mine to search for various celebrities on Facebook. I wish I could get my hands on some statistics as to how many people search for various celebrities on Facebook.

A long time ago, I did a search for Angelina Jolie on Facebook, and found a number of profiles, so I did a blog post about it, and said that I would add her as a friend, and assume that it was for spamming purposes if the friendship request was accepted, and the real Angelina if my friendship was not accepted – well, my friendship request was never accepted, so now I’m wondering whether it was actually her!

I have started to become a Youtube junky, working on a massive Internet connection, never having to wait for anything to ever buffer sent me to this position. Instead of loading up Winamp with some songs, I rather just search on Youtube and listen to the streaming audio, and then use the related links on the right to choose other songs. Anyway, moving along, I came across a song I remember from around 1997, one which actually has lots of meaning behind it for me, and I felt that I just had to share it, I know that some of you will appreciate it.

“Loving you is easy cos u beautiful, making love with you, is all I want to do. Loving you is more than just a dream come true, and everything that i do, is out of loving you!”

Let me know if you know this one, or have a memory attached to it – it would be interesting to hear who else knows this one :)
