OK, starting today, I’ve decided to start posting some of my tweets every-so-often as a post, which will sum up my general mood, or be something important to me at the time. Or just be funny.

Here’s todays…

Following advice, I have decided to post the following disclaimer.

---

Hello there,
My name is Chris, and unless you’re a bit slow, you likely already know that this is my website.

Some of the things I write here may offend you, or you may violently disagree with me on certain matters. That’s OK, they offer therapy for people like you these days.

Everything I write on this site is my opinion. No-one elses. That’s not to say that people don’t share my opinion, because, lets face it – who doesn’t? But it is to say, no-one else wrote this stuff here, and no-one else asked me to on their behalf.

And now the bit that should really be common sense but in todays society needs me to spell it clearly out for risk of being sued by someone…

“The Brain of Chris” is the personal blog of Christopher Allen. The views expressed are solely his, and his alone. They are not the views of his employer, his university, or any other organisation he is involved with, has been involved with, or may one day become involved with.

Any text that has been written by another party is clearly highlighted as such, with appropriate attribution – and Christopher Allen can NOT be held responsible for such content, or the content of ANY comment left on this website.

This blog, and all content contained within it is aimed at being informative, humourous, and a genuine insight into the mind of Christopher Allen. All text is copyright Christopher Allen unless otherwise stated.

It is never the intention of Christopher Allen to cause distress to any person through material contained on this blog.

If you wish for any material to be removed with valid reason, you may request so by using the contact page up top.

Please don’t sue me.

I think that kinda covers it…

Just a really, really quick post to let you know that I’ve just changed the comment system on this blog to a snazzy new one, that’ll let you log in using twitter and facebook and EVERYTHING (once I iron out the small issues).

Also worth noting that NONE of the old comments on the site have been deleted, but they may take a while to show up on the new system.

Thanks Guys! x

UPDATE: Still having issues with Facebook login at the moment, so I recommend using Twitter login, which seems to be working fine, either that or do the normal name, email and comment thing!

When you think about, I think we’ve all read blogs containing one of those “OMG, I haven’t blogged in ages, but don’t worry, I’ll write something interesting soon!” posts.

Continuing along the same thought process, I guess it’s also true that the majority of those posts were written a long time ago, with no post looking likely in the near future.

I guess there’s 3 possible reasons for this;

1. They’re a liar – always possible, but unlikely.
2. They lack inspiration – probably the most common, as most bloggers tend to set themselves a target along the lines of writing one post every x amount of days.

   And finally,

3. They’re very busy doing many things.

The reason I’ll hate myself for this post is because, today, I will be putting myself into category 3.

I know, shame on me.

The truth of the matter is, I’ve just moved out of my student house, and at the moment I’m literally living on the floor in my mates bedroom. I’m also trying to secure accommodation for the new Uni year, as well as trying to sort out the mini-recession that appears to have hit my bank account.

I will be writing more frequently soon, I promise you, and I hope the fact that I’ve been updating this blog fairly often over the last year or so shows that I’m not one of those horrible liars I mentioned above.

Hope you’re all well!

Love, Chris

Hi all,

Really quick post just to say, if you read my blog ever, (I hope you do!), then please consider following my blog via NetworkedBlogs on Facebook.

I’d really appreciate it if you’d just click the link in the sidebar, and possibly even love you forever.

Yes, you read that correctly, I did indeed try to save Woolworths. Not single handedly of course, that would be silly… It went a little like this…

One one particually dreary day in November 2008, it was announced that Woolworths (and its partner company, Entertainment UK) were both entering administration.

Most people took this news to mean the imminent downfall of Woolworths, and to a large extent, they were right. Personally, I was more worried about the human side of this eventuality, over 27,000 redundancies would occur as a result of Woolworths demise, including those of my Aunt and Uncle, who’d recently had a child. With Christmas around the corner, this couldn’t have been worse news for many people. Read More »

If you’ve been following my blog for long, or know me personally, the chances are that you know that I am really, really into a large Christian event called Spring Harvest.

Spring Harvest is a Christian event, taking place over the Easter period at Butlins camps in Minehead and Skegness. Spring Harvest is a multi-denominational event catering for Christians, and those interested in becoming a Christian, of all ages and backgrounds.

Spring Harvest is also Europe’s largest Christian event.

So my current domain name (www.christopherallen.eu) is both a little dull and a little European (and also up for renewal, which isn’t the point!), so I’ve purchased a new domain that I’ll be using in a couple of days time.

I chose it because it works better with the name of the site, and is also a bit more fun, so from this weekend the domain name for this blog will become, thebrainofchris.co.uk

You’re welcome.
