English bashing.

From Dizzy Thinks. Probably should put this in PI4W but meh. :-P Here is a taste of the idiocy!

Gregory Campbell MP you are neither big, clever or funny
That this House notes the recent results of the Northern Ireland football team in the European Championship qualifiers, including the 2-1 win over Sweden; acknowledges the fact that after this latest result Northern Ireland now sits top of their group; salutes the outstanding performance of Lawrie Sanchez, all the team including top scorer David Healy, and their magnificent supporters; and encourages all the other home countries who currently occupy lower positions in their groups to take as their inspiration the country whose unofficial anthem is We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland.
Plaid Cymru have anti-English PPBs and now the DUP is having a dig at us and the bloody Scots. When will the madness end?


Bah, well they have no-one better(or worse) to yell at now they have had enough of yelling/blowing up/shooting each other (thankfully, in the case of Northern Ireland). We just have to watch out that it doesn't get too far and they stupidly begin to properly break the Union. It's intersting though, that these things stick to the small victories as if they prove a point or whatever. Silly politicians.

Talking about bloggin....

Ive done a bit of fiddling with the Politics is for Wimps blog, keep an eye on there for some fun and interesting comments on politics... Yeah... Politics and fun. NOT an oxymoron!

Politics Is For Wimps

What to do, what to do?

It's amazing that right now I have just finished the main chunk of my degree. I have done my Dissertation, completed my essays, endured lectures, cringed through seminars and survived multiple caffein overdoses. Woot.

Methinks now it's time to get productive... Ahem.

So here is a list of things to do.

1) Blog. Blog. Blog
2) Watch far far too much Stargate.
3) Plan the monstrous construction that will be my new PC.
(Speaking of which, I guess I am going to have to get a second monitor, GAH)
4) Find the funds for that PC probably meaning a *shh* JOB.

....Oh yeah and GRADUATE!

Bugger this!

Right, I have one more essay to write.

I am about 20% the way through the probable amount of research I am going to do of which I should probably do more but meh. And I want to rant about the usually amazing lecturer Mick Dillon.

Baiscly the situation is that he has totally reworked the last (and most interesting half) of the course. And I have to choose a lecture topic to use as a essay question. What is annoying is that I have 2 or three days (depending on if i go out tomorrow night, in which to write something and I am not about to start and dredge up old topics to re-learn. Basicly this means I have to have a go at the topics most recent.

AS I have said, they were all messed up, re-worked, and generally incomprehensible with referance to the seminar topics that are in the handbook. Thus I am in a position of choosing my own essay title, with a limited amount of references, limited knowledge of foucault and limited time.

Thank god for Northern Ireland, the perfect filler of time for my essays. It seems as if it is basicly a case study for Foucault and his wakey theories!

Oh and my word has stopped working on my desktop... GRRR!

ANGER! PANIC! STRESS! 4tw!

Gah! How can they do this?!



Relentless the 'new' energy drink is 'orrible. How can they betray my love for the substances by releasing such a monstrosity!!!

And worst of all, it ACTUALLY looks like piss. Instead of most of them that just resemble it in some vague extent.

Love will Tear us Apart again

Great tune.

Wouldn't mind doing a cover and bastardising it at some point with this fictional-never-will-happen band I keep hoping to create.. Though I am starting to realise i need to get learning the guitar again and actually becoming a musician... of sorts.

Ideas, less skills.

Anyway, any chance people could do some comments or something if you read this... I know it sounds a bit desperate but... Its nice. Oh and pop onto Politics is for Wimps! Cheers.

Legend

Continuing he tendency I hope i don't get stuck into. A no comment post.

If I'm a Libra, you're a parasite - Summer fun!

Ha, it's amazing. A sudden wave of the essence of summer has overcome me.

Watch out. I can't wait to get hammered, lazily in fields with some crap summer compilation CD (which incidentally I am already compiling) and a random group of whoever can be cobbled together at the time.

Also it will be the end of my degree. I just can't wait. I've had enough of writing essays. Of jumping through the academic hoops that are ignorant of the realities of learning and personal betterment. It has begun to take its toll.

Things will change this summer. Just you see.

Random song.
Mansun - Right to the end of the Earth.

The bigger you come
The harder you fall
I'll be waiting
Whatever it takes
No matter how long
I'll be waiting
Whatever you do
Wherever you go
I'll be watching

Cos it says in your starsign, you never can hide
If I'm a libra, you're a parasite
You'll be sucking someone for fun

As I grew up what I heard about was no illusion
Face it, you've got a shadow
Right to the end of the earth
You've got a shadow

Whoever you are
On one particular day
Is no reflection
Don't ever get low
Don't ever get bored
Don't let your guard down
If you are discreet
Wherever you hide
I'll blow wide open

Cos it says in your starsign, you never can hide
If I'm a libra, you're a parasite
You'll be sucking someone for fun

As I grew up what I heard about you's no illusion
Face it, you've got a shadow
Right to the end of the earth
You've got a shadow
Right to the end of the earth
There's no escaping my shadow

The bigger you come
The harder you fall
I'll be waiting
Whatever you do
Wherever you go
I'll be watching

Cos it says in your starsign, you never can run
From a wall of persistence that will never give up
