Happy Anniversary to the Anglo-Zanzibar War!!!
Yes indeed! Today, the 27th August 2006 marks the 110th anniversary of the Anglo-Zanzibar War! What a wonderful thing it was, 45 minutes of nonstop shelling, blowing apart the better part of the harbour and slaughtering hundreds just to get at a Sultan they didn't like! Well, he was liked by the Germans I guess...
Rule Brittania!
Rule Brittania!

a thought before bed
Why is it that:
11pm = Late Night
12am = Mid Night
1am = Early Morning
If they're trying to sell 0000 as the middle of the night, why is the time before it later than it? Shouldn't it be:
11pm = Early Night
12am = Midnight
1am = Late Night
Any thoughts? Send your name and your address on your telephone number to the usual place. The comment box.

Results and general moaning
To gloss over the last month:
Poole -Awesome
Somerset - 1st week Awesome. 2nd week, acceptable.
Olli D's party - Fantastic. Bouncy castles still fun, and 2 pints still hilarious
Well thats that out the way.And now, for your amusement, my final A level grades:
English Literature: B (TAKE THAT JONES!)
Film Studies: B
Drama: C
-
I am currently sitting hereDrinking my way through the remaining bottles of Grolsch, so forgive my impetuousness as I say im slightly unhappy. Not hysterically so, but I ain't producing any corporeal Patronuses
IT runs something like this. Since everyone applied to Uni (and I didnt) I've known full well that eventually they would be going. Problem is, it didnt seem that long until it happened. It was months of "It's not until after the exams, it's not until after the exams". THen the exams came and went, and it became "It's not until after holiday". Then finally it was "We need our results first, results first, then Uni". Well, here is results day. I've spent the day talking with everyone about how well they did/ didnt do and whether they got in, when they're going etc. And its about a month to go, give or take until almost all the people I've spent the best and worst 2 years of my life go off to pastures new and leave me behind. And yeh, i know what reaction will be to that; "it's ok, we're only away half the year" or "We'll visit/you can visit" etc etc but truth is guys it dont work like that. I have enough older friends at uni to know that when they go the first thing thats done is new relationships are formed, and the old ones are forgotten. It's a question of proximity. Dan, you're a 10 minute walk away. York is 5 hours away. Helen, you;'re a 3 minute drive or 40 sih minute train journey. Cambridge is 2hourrs. there is no way we're gonna see each other as much as now. There is no way we're gonna be in as much contact. Life doensnt work like that. This is where we get ripped apart and left behind. It's how it works. And it's starting to piss me off. Urgh I dunno, thats life really isnt it...
Snakes on a plane tomorrow, should be good.

While i'm here
This wont be substantial, but it's made me giggle over the days:
"I'm sorry, I had no idea my wife was so busy."
"Fear not kind sir, it matters not one whit."
"I'm sorry?"
"It matters not one whit, time is not pressing on me fortunately. Now, some information please; this afternoon I have to visit the town for sundry purposes which wil be of no interest to you,I'm quite sure but never the less I shall rewuire your aid in getting for me some sort of transport, some hired vehicle that is to get me to my first port of call."
"Are you alright?"
"Oh yes! Yes I find the air here most invigorating"
"Well I'm I to deduce from your first announcement that you want a taxi?"
"In a nutshell"
"Case more like it..."
-
"Now this afternoon on BBC2 there is a documentary on Squawking Bird, the leader of the Blackfoot Indians in the late 1860's. Now this beigns at 7 o'clock and goes on for approximately three quarters of an hour"
"I'm sorry are you talking to me?"
"Yes indeed I am, now would it be possible for me to reserve the BBC2 Channel for the duration of this televisual feast?"
"Why don't you talk properly?"
"What?"
"No it isn't"
"What?!"
"It is not possible to reserve the BBC2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast until the moment of the termination of it's ending, thank you so much..."
Ah giggles...

And he wrote
Here's the deal. I've set a 52 minute timer on my phone (meaning it SHOULD go off at 5, in time for me to put the kettle on for mum and feed the cats) and during it's countdown im just gonna keep writing about everything and nothing. Hopefully it'll stave off the boredom and heat and maybe someone can read it later on and tell me exactly what's romg with me (Hane, fancy writing a book about me?) As I result the spelling may be inaccurate to a marginal degree cos I really dont want to read it again and edit it. May lead onto some nice freudian slips and indications on how much i need to practise my touch typing.

So, yesterday was a fun day. Well, I say a fun day, it was of course a tuesday, so not even remotely a sunday. But that's by the by. After some interestingly convoluted travel arrangements and mixups involving oyster cards shower's and Calvin and Hobbes, I made it safe and sound to the abode of one David Chander MC. After the initial WTF's and OMG's over my hair which has actualy been cut for thiose who didnt know, so you'll have plenty of time to steel yourself for when you see it next, I sat and spectated the interesting game of MArio party 6 that was being played. Despite the cunning of Rob and LEwis and the interference of some Pagan gods (goombas) TEam WA (steve and jon ) emerged victorious. While the rest then tootled off to buy sugary snacs and other forms of sustenance, dave myself and dan remained behind and I managed to take BOTH of them on at Goldeneye(Facility, Automatics, First to 20) and win 20-2. After some food and eats, Myself steve dan rob and jon stole to the next room to play that wholly underrated card came Pokemon Card. Itwas a feirce battle it has to be said. Rob's early Charmander Evolution availed him well, his Charmeleon downing Jon's Snorlax, Ditto, two Zapdos's (Zapdii?) and leaving rob with an easy battle for his remaing Pokemon, downing Jon's Aerodactyl to and easy victory. After this clash of the titans, the next began with the handy 8 remaining players indulging in the Smash Brothers tournament. I lost both times in the opening ranks, mostly due to being pitted against Dave (Samus) and Rob (Dr Mario). Would have done so much better had I been entered in the n00b rankings, but ah well. When Brawl comes out I will emerge supreme. After this distraction it was back to the Pokemon Master league, Jon and Rob ina grudge match. THis match was FAR more interesting ( read, long. almost went on for an hour and a half) Rob seemd to be losing badly after the initial loss of his Eevee, while his Pidgey was forced to not attack for several turns in fear of Jon's reserves. Jon managed to assemble a fine team on the bench, qith some tactical evolutions and play of trainer cards, endig up with suchgreat as Snorlax, Gyarados, Charizard, Chansey, Vaporeon and an almost impossible to kill Blastoise who eventually took 150hp worth of damage, and was still in play at the end. Rob fought bravely, though his Pidgeot, Drowsee, Oddish, and Clefable all fell foul of the immense power oif Jon's charizard. However, time forced us to call a 5-5 draw. STill,was all good fun, and was good to get back into the swing of things. Nice to remember the rules also. If only I hadnt chucked mine.. a well.
35 minutes
Driving is fun. A lot more so now i don't have Jackie or the examiner brathing down my neck. I have only as yet hit one thing, a tree which went the wrong way druing a turn in the road. I've ferried 5 peoplearound so far, and almost last night managed to get rob to go through the windscreen doing an emergency stop while the cretin didnt have his seatbelt on. Fool. Ah well. Still, the only REAL annoyance is the absence of music. Must buy tape adaptior. Must get job. Must do lots of things really. Oohand audition last night was good ,except the director made me say about 10 minutes worth of stuff in an ghourr. Hardly anything. And nothing for the character I actaully am going for. Which is wanky cos the character IS me. CURSED AGE. I get to the age where I can do lots of cool thinfgs and its still not old enough.Wanky wanky wnaky. Last week was good, nicks pool party, Lloyds (interesting pub). my knee still hurts form when I fell over. From standing still. Sreouisly, never stop moving while drunk, it's far too dangerous...
30 minures
sigh, halfway ish through the time and I'm starting to lose all sense of coherenchy really. Iwas doing so wll earlier, despite the completely geekish waffle about Pokemon Cards. I should really have made my status sjeet a little more indepoth, i couldreally have gone to town with thre after reports, but cant be helped. Will have ot do it again one day. Siting here on my right is the Therion album i borrowed from dave, yet to actuallybe listeined to. I'm on a Within Temptation fest at the moment and there isnt much that can disctract me from the sexy and dulcet tones of miss den Adel. I'm sure it'll get listened to later. Ooh back on the driving sphere yesterday, Wihe i was driivng aimlessly around bromley/park langley ways, we were counted lucky ot have with us a copy of bohmeian rhapsody. Anyone who's ever seen any clip of Wayne's world will probably be able to make and educated gess at what happened next. Ah, that was fun. I tihnk we scared quite a few people and woke a few residents, but the comedy level alone was more than worth s. And the sheer brilliance (if i do say so myself) of stoping outsie toms at the SECOND the song finished was just, ahhhh levels of good.. Ooh a text hang on
26 minutes
Hello to you too emmie. and i do worry. it would have been nice ot get that tex about... ooh i dunno 3 hours ago when i origasinlly sent my first reply, but eh what are you gonna do. speaking of emmie, is anyone else having any problmes getting onto ger blog? I know it's probably still the pictures of Keira, but would be nice to be pleasantly surprised. Would be nice to acautlly fget onto it, but you know, blogger being the intense amounts of arse that it is. Ooh, aquarius, good song. Little... hm something but stioll alright by me. THnaks to my phone (which is also useful for meaning I get SOME music in the car) it comes with me everywhere now. Shpould really get burning for dave. II'l do it later
23 minutes
it strikes me now how few people I actually talk to on msn.I have 74 contacts and I talk to about... 5 regularly, tops? Amdittedly some of that 74 are old addresses (inculding my own old address, simply for vanities sake) and some are just... chavs. burt soem f them are actually people I really should toalk to maore. No idea why i dont, its just how it works i guess.maybe they're all intensely boring. Or i am. I know not. Whichever. Some dont actually come on anymor. some may have blockedme. Most probably have changed adresses. Eh, pointless worry I guess. Hm. My wrsits are actually starting to get all exammy. Is using a keyboard anymore strenuous athan usinga pen? imean, with a pen youactually have to grip it whereas a keyboard you arent really trensing anything. Or mayver thats the problme. I dunno, I'll aska piano teacher.
13 minutes
Sorry about that. Went and washed up the lunch crap and get mysefl some liquid. Kill some time nicely though. went for a walk down the garden as well .was rather interesting. Got followed by a cat who at this point is now sittign on the dining room tabel behind me boring into the back of my skull with eyes that say less than subtly "oi mush, i dont see any food in that bowl! What the hell do i pay you for!!". Alos, theres a shoddy little airball that me and a neighbour randomly kick around, and there was a little honeybee (Ted, as he's usually known) sitting on it,dancing, walking flying around and generally enjoying himself on. It popped into my head that the puir wee thing probavbly thought it was a very rubbery flower. I mean, flowers' petals are brightly colouerd to attract those that pollinate them, and they smell pretty and have pollen/nectar etc. AND the amout of time that ball's been in the flower beds I have no doub tthat the brightyl collour ball has everything needed to be a fully fledged flower (love the alliteration there)

Been watching a lot of blackadder recently. Since the DVD player in my rom has been set upthere hasnt actually been many DVD's in my room other than Blackadder and FMA1. So, as a result I have seen the entire of the fourth series twice. Ah classic comedy, wonderful lines, poignant ending. they dont make them like they used to (they really dont, did you SEE the millenium dome episode?! Yikes...)
6 minutes
Should really be roundign this inane... crap phone brb...
