Day Sixteen

Friday the 19th of March 2004

Its half two in the morning and I'm still hyper for some reason. Not entirely sure why,I'm usually the first person to get knackered out

So it's the stayawake.I've paid five pounds to be deprived of sleep for a night. And what makes it worse .... its with people that I cant STAND. I mean there two people in the FLC now with me who aren't even in 6th form. Ones here when he's a complete player,man slut and general GIMP !!!! The other dropped out long ago so why he's here is a mystery to mankind as well. If they are paying then its ok .... I guess and I know the people who have organised this have done a decent job. Its just really frustrating!

Some people didnt like my last blog entry. It was contreversial,but essentially this is just where I go to air my views on things. If you dont like it, don't read it!!!

My feet kills as well. I've been playing football for last twohourssolid,in socks on carpet. Ive bought blister plasters but I'm too tired and lanky to apply themand I keep asking people and they wont do it.Nice to know who your friends really are in these kinds of emergency situations.

Am very worried now because I feel I am turning into a girl at a more accelerated rate then usual. For the football tournament I decided to wear a hairband for my fringe. So off we trundled (What a word,blatently thats word of the day there and then !) Anyway off we trundled (magic!) to the Spar shop where they have a wide selection of accessories for the girly-girl in us all at resonable prices. (Thats resonable Claires Accessories,I've been riped off by you buying stuff for my sisters birthday for years,so much so I've had to make her presents out of toilet rolls.Resonable.You'll find that in the dictionary between Recomended Retail Price and Robbery.B*stards) So anyway...I wore itand played ok I thought

SIDENOTE:: TRIBUTE TO ALL THE TEAM GARY COLLINS NICK LUGG ALI BATCH AND MARK HARRISON MY FAMILY AND MY PERSONAL TRAINER FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. ALSO THE FANS.ALL FOUR OF YOU. US COMING THIRD WOULDN'T HAV HAPPENED WITH YOU

So anyway I decided to buy another for my stay awake. The first one was a 'manly' blue , this once a slightly girlier purple and the final one on offer @ the Spar is bright pink. If I wear it shoot me.

I finally got caught out on Wed kisisng the girl i've been seeing since the club FX party a few weeks back. There is a reason why I didn't want to tell you guys and that was clearwhen I wlaked in the common room after to see about 15 girls in tears and a few guys too......

OK lies there again.. but the reaction was still incredibly weird. I actually had to stand on the bench and answer questions just to get you guys off my back. And the first one asked was

"Is she a member of your family ?"

B*stards.All of you.Anyway if you missed the Q & A session, tough I'm not going into my private life on here or in person just to keep you entertained.Sorry I'm not.I get slapped less this way.

Ohhh congrats to Tom and Katie as well for getting head boy and dept head girl respectively!!

Um... I cant think of anything to write about. My feet are bloody killing and no one will sort them out. What kind of heartless community is this!!!!

Friday the 10TH March 2004

Firstly thanks to all the positive feedback I’ve had from people over the blog over past few weeks

“Its funniest thing I’ve ever read”
“Its really funny”

And so forth….it means a lot to me.Anyone whos anyone knows that I’ve enjoyed making people laugh for as long as I can remember! As usual if you want to send me feedback vivalagruff@hotmail.com Don’t add me to MSN,I’m a busy man and almost certainly wont talk to you !!

Anyway I havent written for so long due to the usual stuff,coursework,nothing to write about,couldn’t be assed. So at work on Wed I decided to brainstorm down a list of ideas

After 10 mins I had the following

Forum
Sainsburys
Drivers
Uni
Ali B
Results
Man U
Club FX
Dickie Hawkes
Fake Tan
Ignoranance


So starting from the top…

Forum

I think I’m right in saying that before this month,there was still a slight gap between Yr 12 and 13 boys.Maybe not as much as in Sept but it was still noticible in my opinion. A month on and everyone knows everyones name, talks to them and is generally more cheerful. As a result games of football are better and generally life’s better in school. And this is because of the forum that Paul Tays set up. Basically it allowed people to sign up to a website and chat about issues such as women,football and more women. It meant that you could talk to people without having to be face to face and generally it was a great idea.Within a week 1000 messages had been posted and 60 people had signed up.
Notice the past tense though. People started making fun of each other,and while some people could handle this, eg Taffy and Ritzon, others couldn’t. In fact one person hated it so much that people were making jokes baouth im he told the head of year. As a result,the forums gone forever and some people have been suspended for a day to ‘teach them a lesson’

Now I’m not saying that this is wrong. BER was absolutely right to do this and he’s made sure it’s not going to happen again. But because one person feels that they need to talk to a head teacher instead of their peers first, it’s left 55+ people without a proper place to talk. So who’s in the right or wrong there ? The offenders or the offended…you can decide!!

Sainsburys

I used to joke that till operators like myself will be replaced soon. Sainsburys have actually tried it,and its worth a look in Bath if you go. Basically you go up to a moniter,scan your items and then insert a card/cash in for payment and off you go.

Theres one slight flaw with this plan
Its B*llocks !

It took me 7 mins to do just 6 items!! I mean what the hell ! It kept telling me to rescan, get my hands off the bags, rescan, scan faster. I did actually hit it in the end,which was probably a good thing as someone then saw that as a sign to help. Then it wouldn’t accept the bloody ten pound note either ! Aggghhh !!! The only good thing was coming outside after and realising I hadnt scanned three of the items properly and had paid half price.
So will till operators be replaced by machines anytime soon ? Again;you decide.But if your having problems doing so the answer is no

Drivers

Ali Batch

Ali Batch has a blog up and running which is updated far more daily then mine at Http://wubbelz.blogspot.com . It is amazing, and well worth a read as soon as you’ve read this entry !!

Results

As you may have been aware, we had our results yesterday… For those intrested,I got a C.2 marks off a B.

This day p*sses me off more then any other for the following reasons

1. If oyu get a good result,do not coming running in screaming with joy.Some people have just been told they have U’s and their lifelong ambitions are in ruins. Just think for a second you heartless b*stards !! Yeah,go nuts in private but not in the common room,you just look like a big headed tw@/b*tch.

2. What is the point of queing up all breaktime ?? You find out about 5 mins quicker then me. Then only difference is I’ve been sat down eating crisps and reading Striker,while you’ve be qued up,cramped by some guy called Tony with BO who’s been telling you all about his engineering course and how he’s going to get A’s and work on his dads farm for the last 20 minutes.

3.This is the worst one. If I ask what you got,just say a letter ie

“I got a C”

NOT

“2 marks off a B”

Because that’s just sad and mathmatical b*llocks. That’s like me saying

“I got 30 marks off an A in Maths last year”

which sounds good…..It’s a U

Man U

Not mjuch to put here,genuinely sorry they were knocked out by Porto,who seemed to spend a stupid amount of time on the floor. However Man U have asked for trouble by being cocky and complacent this season and desrve the nothing that they will win

Ohhhh..that’s contreversial !! Holloway will not be happy.Sorry Holzo!

Club FX

is a disgusting sweaty,expensive,cramped sh*thole with a DJ who is a perv, inadequate doorstaff.

Dickie Hawkes
Had to mention this. Recently in goal he has been amazing. Whether you laugh at the Tai Chi or not he does before each game,you try wearing proper shoes,leather jacket and glasses and without trying to sound tight,not amazingly fit and see how well you do. The fact is he doesn’t give up and is easily most improved player this season !!!

Fake Tan
I am ‘blessed’ with dark skin. I don’t know why!! My parents are white,they aren’t good looking enough to have affairs and I’m rapidly running low on optism at the thought I’m adopted and really some African prince.

But why do people have to ask me where I come from or if I’ve been on holiday as if im going to recommend them a good place to go. Im just so sick of customers asking me that I’m now making up new places every time where I’ve been on holiday
Sdo far I’ve been to – Madrid,Yemen,Canada,Paris and Warminster. Any other places of humour,please tell me !!!

And finally..

Ignorance
On work on Wed I was told by Damon that someone claimed I had ‘’Got with the ugliest girl in 6th form’’ at the club FX party. Im not going to name either person but if your insulting people behind their back and calling them ugly then your really just lowest of the low. It doesn’t help that your hardly attractive either and every Friday that person is seen with a different guy at a nightclub. I’m not being tight,I’m stating facts.

Well thanks for reading that all the way through….. Looking through its not as funny as usual but it’s more realistic. That’s just a few of my random thoughts anyway !!
