HAPPY NEW YEAR ('s eve)

Here's what I did at work last week:



















So, christmas was a big success despite everyone dying of swine flu
Can't wait for tonight, it's gonna be pretty epic you guys (sorry Juliet, but it is)
Assassin's creed II is probably the best thing that's happened to me ever.

That's about it.
Yours Sincerely,
Josh

Dance, Tuesday, Dance

Let's not abandon!
I mean, come on, it's been Christmas - I've been away, David's been away (I think) you can't expect us to update. I didn't have any internet connection.

Aaaanyway. Life.

London. For the great comedy / science / musical celebration of the humanist Christmas.
Hosted by Robin Ince, featuring: Chris Addison, Al Murray (who was much funnier than expected), Dara O'Briain, Shappi Khorsandi, Richard Herring (douchebag), Richard Dawkins, Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, Brian Cox and others who I forget.
It was fantastic.

Christmas was fun times.
Stayed in a converted chapel in Kaber (lake district) fun times.
Much much snow. We got stuck on a hill on the way there and had to shelter in a pub and eat curry.
This bitch little terrier attacked Holly and I vowed to kick it's face off if I saw it again.
Was all fun other than my gran and her husband's weird alcohol issues. My mum had to hide bottles of wine in her bedroom and drink them on the sly, and we had Cidergate when I drank - omg - three halves of cider in one evening.
No ones much a fan of Robin (my gran's husband) my mum and her sister were bitching about him and: "Do you think he's a Christian?" "I dunno, but he's definetly a Tory." made me laugh so much how those seem to be the greatest personal flaws according to my family.

Oh yes, got a mobile.
Don't know the number yet, or have any money on it yes... but one day I'm sure it'll be fully functional.
It has Snake and Sudoku and a Tetris trial so I'm happy. =D

Had work Christmas party and Chase and Status on Sunday. S'all good.
Was right at the front for Chase and Status high-fived both of them numerous times, beat the crap out of some people in whatever the drum 'n' bass equivalent of a mosh pit is. Met one of Chase and Status after the gig in the VIP longue and got a hug off him.
All beautiful. =D

Also got a picture taken by one of the official Liquid photographers so I need to go find that now... Krissy told me the website but I've completely forgotten what it is.

Listening to: On the Museum Island by Emmy the Great

ITS FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS TOMORROW

So yer, me and cath are the only ones that blogged this week, is it time to call it a day or just get better at being losers? Who knows?

Cath, I love meercats, hope you're enjoying Andrew marr and The Magnetic Fields and no you can't have my job - I got given forerro rochers today for taking the initiative on offering a giftwrapping sweet service for 50p a pop and made her a stack, I get paid overtime on boxing day and get to go home early to see hamlet - I'll be okay at Earles for now, to be honest I have it pretty sweet

OMG DAVID YOU WILL LOVE YOUR PRESENT!


















What are we doing new years? Is this frank turner thing happening?

I may have a free house next week, I'll keep you posted

All my family have the flu (teetering on the swine flu tightrope) so I'm running round the house doing loads of stuff to get ready for tomorrow and generally staying away from them.

Tom, our christmas shopping was a big success

I'm listening to Sufjan Steven's christmas album!

I have no idea how we ended up getting so drunk on Sunday

Jubs, who's awesome? you're awesome























MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D

i had coffe with the liberal

lib dem candidate for walcott(maybe), is that how you spell councillor.....and walcott? If this actually happens it'll be soooo awesome my name will actually be on a ballot paper (which i will steal and frame) and i get to go to party conferences and all that jazz.
Problem is befor i can run i have to take a test. First one is to check im actually a social libertarian( which is like a little socialist club inside the libs) and not just a socialist, i dont think everyone has to take this test before thaey run , i think i talked about ralph miliband too much hmmmmm. I think i could work as an undercover socialist obama does it all the time, although hes a little too under cover for my liking, I dont think it helped that when he said i could run in an unwinnable seat i was like ooooo can we pray on con votes so labour win, some habits are hard to kill, that and weeping everytime i see a pic of gordon brown or a miliband.
but anyway the main issue is i have to take a test to check im a good person. This genuinley frightens me, one of their campaigns is to increase policing round town gardens to stop kids sneaking in at night, where will i hang out at night now? Plus maybe im just not pleasent enough to be a liberal sometimes i get angry about stuff, like copenhagen(ask josh), pedestrians, people who talk to me within an hour of first waking up and anyone who disagrees with me. What if they consider my past unsavory? It was a novelty for the torys for liberals i think it would just be boring and embarassing, i thought they were all about tolerence but hughes lost his leadership bid when it turned out he was bi, although that was mainly because he lied about it......
Anyway in other news hopefully getting my own horse soon guys this is like what ive wanted since i was 4 i literally cant sleep its sooo exiting, although it does mean at least 2 extra shifts a week but will so be worth it even if i dont have time to actually ride anymore.
Oh and i went to the wheaty on sunday, got stupid drunk and began to worry about the residents(born to be a councillor u see) and got all grumpy then threw up on my carpet. Im soo cool.
im listening to a history of modern britain atm, further confirmation of my coolness so far it has only confirmed my convictions that atlee is golden god
GUYS ITS CHRISTMAS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i need to find u guys tommorow to give u prezzies we should definatly hang out on boxing day or something.
Are u guys going to the college party thing on 28th ? Because ive got a ticket but its chase the day b4 so i might be too fucked particularly because my cousins r coming down for the day
david do you like bob dylan and when r u back?
josh do you like meerkats?
oh and i also watched avatar, it was good , not much else to say cept it would have been better in 3d
and josh we probably should tel nomey yeah sainsburys give peace a chance bitchnot that we should be buying shit from that far away anyways we cant be climbing stairs when we should be cutting emissions!!!!! can i have ur job at earls?

Oh, rejection

First one came in today from Exeter, wonderful.

I'm really sorry about last weeks blog - some angry irrational boring child took over my account and posted in my stead. Someone had really annoyed me about my music taste calling me a snob for not liking lady gaga saying it was just because it was on the radio. I do like some stuff I hear on the radio, but personally the stuff I find most good (most good?) is on the internet and reccomended by friends. some soloists you hear on radio 1 are genuinely talented just like some promoted by sites such as alernativemusic.com suck out.

I don't know what I was thinking, I'm sorry, consider almost everything retracted

So yer, onto matters of fun

Cath, blog much?
David, we forgive you. We also expect a full description of oxford monday.

In other news. If somebody is being anti-Semitic in your politics class and doesn't realise it's wrong because of their upbringing should you be upfront and personal and tell her she is wrong and has no right to say such things or should you water it down with phrases like 'I understand where you're coming from but...'? There are so many times I just want to turn around and tell her how I feel but I don't want to start a fight, I just think it doesn't have to be just jews that are offended by phrases like 'dirty jews'.
Also on topic, did you know Sainsburys now have to label their meat as being farmed in palestine or israel respectively? So now every time someone does their groceries their (even if they want peace) it's time to weigh up the arguments and side with either side of a war. Alternatively, I guess you could just buy British meat. This war's nothing new anyway, it's just now the supermarkets are involved.

Wow, I can get really boring.

I was supposed to be going out tonight to the savoy but with a uni rejection and what seems to be growing lurgee I might just read my book.

Polly and the kettles were pretty darn impressive last night as was the choir concert.

I'm proper tired and thom's kind of sending me to sleep right now.

I broke my phone and now have a pink theme

Christmas has begun

Where The Wild Things Are was good but only if you've read the book

New pictures on my wall include: bill & ted, ghandi and the shins

Went on a massive walk the other day to listen to my ipod and ended up in malbrough chatting to a bunch of pub golfers. then it got dark and cold and I had to call for Dad.

I've been offered a job at the goddard Arms and I think if I can get them to wait a few weeks for me to train someone new at Earles and quit I might just take them up

Other than that... no.
That's me done.

So long, internet - i'll see you christmas eve.

josh out

Little Drummer Tuesday.

^^ Tom that was damn beautiful.

We can forgive David for Oxford reasons.

Aaaaand Josh - my reply to you:
No you can like ALL music, but you can at least appreciate ALL genres. To say I like Britpop, David likes politcal ballads etc... is a complete simplification of our musical tastes - and yours. Yes you're in a new age folk phase but you listen to fuck loads of music around that. (And to be fair... Britpop? Sure I have a soft spot but if you look at statistics and such I only own music by five Britpop artists - and that's only if you stretch the definiton to include The Divine Comedy and Placebo.)

And the whole mainstream / alternative divide has nothing to do with the media. What's mainstream is just what's favoured by the majority, and there's nothing wrong with that. You may not always agree, but you can't write it all off. If you take Radio 1 presumably the most 'mainstream' radio station, and then listen to the complete range of what they play - it may not be the tiny tiny alternative hidden bands you like but they do encompass pretty much all genres. The reason more alternative bands aren't on there is because they're not famous / popular enough.

Who's pushing you to be like anyone else?

I used to be a snob and pretty much reject anything in the charts but what does it fucking matter? I hate Lady Gaga but some of her music's alright.
For me, my main problem with music at the moment is all the reality bollocks, and really just manufactured bands. Anyone can be a success if they have an entire fleet of song-writers, producers, publiscists, stylists whatever. It just cheapens the entire thing. If you're gonna make it in the music business you should at least write your own songs.


Now, down to business.
Cambridge.

Went alright. Did balls up some form aaages ago meaning despite wanting to specialise in Genetics / Biology I got a Physics and a Chemistry interview.
Started with a pastoral interview which was good. Talked about Cystic Fibrosis / Stem Cells / GM Crops then about my interests I'd mentioned on my CV so Transgressive Fiction / Freida Kahlo / (last film I'd watched) Paranormal Activity.
S'all good.

Then my actual subject interviews which I'm not supposed to post the contents of online. With the physics people I did Maths, and with the Chemistry people I did Biochem and normal Chemistry.

I think I did kinda average. I got to all the answers they were after, but I don't supposed I dazzled them at all.
So hopefully in a slow year I might have a chance. Though I'm up against 54 other Natural Science applicants in Selwyn, and the number they accept changes each year.

Selwyn itself is abosolutely fuuuuucking gorgeous.
So pretty!


And not listening to any music right now... I'm rushing this before college as I've got work afterwards so this is my only time.
Bai.

ftuxty

yeh i know i didn't post but i'm too ill. btw click the pic to enlarge it.

COLLEGE IS TERRIBLE

Seriously guys, I need christmas right now.

Usually, I try not to let it bother me but at the moment I'm really down about it all - I don't think it would be so bad if it wasn't for retakes.

You know how people are all like 'yer, I listen to anything'?
That's just stupid!
You don't, if a song comes on on shuffle you don't want to listen to you will press next, if a song comes on on the radio you don't like, you will watch TV or better yet, go out. if somebody mentions a song you hate, you give them a dissaproving look. We all have our tastes - me I'm going through a new age folk phase, David likes political ballads, Juliet likes britpop, Cath likes the libertenes, Tom likes dubstep... yer (correct me if I'm wrong btw)

AND ANOTHER THING!

The music industry seems to have polarised us into mindless followers of either mainstream radio one type stuff or 'alternative' - a term which really has lost all meaning on me. It's like 'oh, I'm so individual man, I'm like my own person'
And I know, I know, I do it to. but that's just it. It's a trap.
People need to accept that we all have different music tastes and stop pushing for everybody to be just like them. you like Andrew Bird? The magnetic fields? joanna newsom? Do you really want them to be mainstream? Or should they just be our little secret?

I CANNOT BELIEVE MALCOM TUCKER GOT FIRED
I AM SO UNCONTROLLABLY UPSET
Every now and then I just remember and feel like crying, it really has put a downer on my week - but only two nights to go until we find out what happens (btw cath, I'll pay for the vodka)

not much else to say really, are we hanging out this new years?

what does everybody want for christmas? drinks, or...?

EDIT:

By the way, i'm really sorry about my shocking behaviour last Thursday, I shouldn't be allowed out.

Josh out

MAD ABOUT WORK MAD ABOUT WORK MAD ABOUT WORK MAD ABOUT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never see them calling juliet in, dicks

anyways,in recent days i ve become a bit of a recluse.. not very happy about this development. I honestly cannot think f my favorite album of the decade guys, mainly because i dont buy music mearly nick it of others so never really look at album titles......the libertines was my favorite album for a very long time. I realise this was last weeks question but i missed last week mainly because there is literally no time left in my life, a bad excuse i know.
Im in a bad mood...hope i dont shout at any customers or bitch at joel (not jo-el thats not a real name) again.
Anyway guys it was the pre-budget report today, just saying it cannae sucked like they di all the important things but they raised national insurance instead of income tax and generally just designed it as a massive 2 fingers to the torys, which im never normally against unless the person doing it should actually be spending their time running the country. Plus i noticed vince cables hands shake unconrolabley when he talks in the commons, this has infinatly increased my support for lib dems.
MALCOM TUCKER GOT FORCED TO RESIGN. I literally just started watching the thick of it and i was all like wow i love this show but without him they dont have a show just some people wearing trainers in an office. Its seriously dark he was almost like a real person with feelings in the last episode, just saying if he doesnt come back im probably gonna cry.
Also Kerry poited out on the politics trip that dave is in love with Sarah. Its true i sat on a coach full of sleeping people while that new JLS song about waiting up or something was playing and he stared listlessly at her, now i struggle not to weep every time i see him.
I've got lots of bruises on my side not really sure where they came from should i worry about this? WHo do you think is better at metaphors Charlie Brooker or Malcom Tucker?
What do you think i should put in my sandwich?
Fuckedy bye



acidentally signed in as josh it is actually me

All along the Tuesday.

Listening to Dimension by Wolfmother
You'll never stop me assholes.

I am living a ridiculously sedentary lifestyle en ce moment.
I only got out of bed about five minutes ago, and I spent most of yesterday crashed out.
The problem seems to be that I am phenominally lazy.

So Cambridge interview on Monday. Had a dream about it last night, saved a cat and a dog in a wood and had a house party with my grandparents. (The Cambridge stuff kinda happened around this.)

Have to do a morning blog as I have work from 5:30, bit of a bitch considering I finish college at 4:30. Though shouldn't be too bad - I assume it'll just be some work's staff party.
Our own staff party coming up soon: CHASE & STATUS VIP! Hells yeah.

Attempting to get up to date with news and current affairs means the Newsnight presenter last night was an epic bitch. She kept using bollocky metaphors and grinning like an anus when talking to this woman about her husband dying. She was saying how in a war it's all a lottery who lives and who dies and how "Your husband's number really didn't come up." FUCK OFF YOU SLAG. Though epic bitch row between John Prescott and some Republican.
I really really hate metaphors in the news. Say what you're gonna say and try not to be a cunt about it.

I can't think what else I have to say.
Gonna have some cereal soon I believe, then college.
Exciting.

Now listening to: Where Eagles Have Been by Wolfmother

Blog # 20

Now listening to: oh wait.

This week/ weekend was super fun, I went to Leeds on tuesday (ABB offer bitches) and saw Tom on his birthday on wednesday and it was cool and stuff. Then this weekend we all went to Juliet's house and it was real good.

GUYS I HATE COLLEGE IT'S SO SUPER BORING

blerg

Juliet I'm sad I wasn't in your dream
Cath LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL (also post much?)
Josh I like'd your day blog
Hi Tom

I don't have anything else to say really so here is a picture



sums it all up really

p.s do you guys want christmas presents?

Love David

Untitled Master Thomas Foster Project

It's Thursday time it's Thursday time, won't you have some Thursday of mine?

I can't believe I'm blogging at 8 o' clock guys. But hey, you know how people are all like 'aw, I look awful in the morning' and stuff? That’s just silly! I'd feel pretty comfortable facing a group of people right now (if I had trousers on). What bothers me is in the evening when you've gone through all the shit of the day already, you've hair's been all messed up by the autumn wind, your morning shaving has just about been undone, and you just feel well - awful, surely that's worse? I'm a morning person all round I guess. Wait no, I’m neither. Does it matter?

Okay so yesterday was Tom's birthday, that was pretty fab.
Hope you liked it tom.
Oh, and I found this:



If that isn't beautiful, I don't know what is.

I'm going to go to college soon but first I must shower
Today I am very excited cause it's a half day.

Ah, I just had an idea!
Awwwwwwwwwway!!!!!

Here’s my idea – I’ll carry this on when I get home

*

I promised Cath I would blog when I got home from Jess and Ian’s tonight in the hope of some drunken hilarity like me not being able to type but she didn’t blog this week so up yours, Cath.

First off, Jubs – your dream was magnificent. I write down my dreams sometimes thinking they’re really awesome but then looking back over them they’re just not.

I make it a daily challenge to hold onto my childish imagination but it is slipping.

I learnt lots of things in college this morning – five minutes of knowing someone isn’t long enough for them to take you calling them a loser as a joke. Themis is a towel. The Beatles’ ‘Get Back’ was originally an attack on Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of blood’ speech. David Ferguson sucks at driving. Moonshiner is officially my favourite Bob Dylan song – Even more than ‘It aint you babe’

OH MY GOSH I want snoop dog on my sat nav soooooo much

Firs I need a sat nav

But before that I need a car

But before that I need a licence

But before that I need lessons

Before that I need a provisional

But before even all of this begins to take form, I need a pile of cash

Oh, snoop dog. Look what you’ve done to me…

Does anybody have Flo and the machine’s album? I would really like a listen. Mojo voted it like best debut of the decade (despite giving it 3 stars the other month... Hmmm - in mojo we trust)

Tom, this CD you gave me is pretty sweet to revise to

David, CONGRATULATIONS on your oxford interview

Got an offer from Reading yesterday so that was pretty psyches and I got an A in my history essay. Hard work’s a bitch but there’s a lot to be said for A’s.

LUNCH TIME

*

So how you liking my full day blog, huh? I’ll bet it’s too long, I don’t care. If I don’t do this, I’d only be playing the guitar. I’m trying to learn the Dodos' album from ear cause nobody has any decent tabs online. Now I know I’m still obsessed over this album even though I discovered them way back in like June but I’m telling you, it’s the best thing I’ve heard all year – on par with bon iver even!

Mmmmmm, pasta for lunch with Josh’s super secret olive sauce!

It’s super secret cause it’s super good

Okay, this isn’t working. I’m running out of things to say

I miss the summer

I killed my wife and kids in fable again; I think my character just has commitment issues/ violent tendencies. In no way a reflection on me by the way

I’m gonna call Cath and find out what time we’re doing stuff.

I’ll see you next Thursday, yeh? Cool.

I never see these things through, do I?

HGey, mI'm at cathw's house atm!

Cath's awesome!

She told me to say that, I don't actually hink oit/.

what else whould we say?

we [;ayes the m,al.c9om tucker drinking drinking game!

i trealtttyt wannt huf mal.com tuckur

GOD CATH! YOUR KEYBOADRM NIS SHI!!!!!!!

Wham-bam thank you, Tuesday.

Listening to: If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray

BECAUSE I WILL NEVER STOP.

Sooo a few points to clarify: I did not forget how to go to the toilet, I merely became confused between the flush and the lightswitch (think I'd regressed to my primary school days when we had the pull flushes) and then got my belt-loop stuck on the latch when I tried to get through the door.

And... can't remember what else has been said.
Umm, don't really have a favourite colour. Manchester IS epic. Only been there once, and only really walked the length of one street from the train station to RNCM but it was COOL.
Aaand... best album of the decade (yes he said DECADE, David - not year.) ... umm... undecided between Antony and the Johnsons, Arcade Fire, The Libertines, Jamie T, Santogold, Belle & Sebastian - really just the ones I've listened to most and still love now. Not sure.
As for the year... I'd probably go for Lykke Li. Can't really think of what albums I've bought this year... but I do love that one.

So for actual blog post, Josh said I should share my dream.
A bunch of us were camping in Andy's garden, though his house was actually a combination of Sabrina's old house and Miranda's current house. And in the garden there were these groups of swallows, about fifteen or so in a group but they had beaks like pelicans and were tiny and were dive-bombing across the garden eating flies. And there were also these massive rats that were bigger than cats (Bailey was there, and the rats were bigger than him.)
So we were all in the house hiding from the rats - which were actually really cute, kinda like mini-tapiers. And then Josh decided to borrow one of Andy's cars (he had three) and they were all really old and run down, and the one Josh stole had like two driving seats then a side compartment that faced in at a ninety degree angle and had a flight simulator and this weird doll that was life-sized and had long blonde hair and no arms and no body below the waist but was in this metal box with a big round hole and all these wires connecting to it and the doll just rocked around in circles.
So Cath was in the flight simulator and Miranda was sat in some corner all bunched up, Josh was driving and I was shotgun. But the steering wheel and gears and peddles had come out of a bus (like the one in Pricilla, Queen of the Dessert). So we were driving around over all these wooden bridges and when we came back we were stopped by the police and they were like: "Is this Andy's car?" and we said "Yes." and then Andy came along and was getting all pissy about us stealing his car and Josh was like: "We were gonna give it back!!" and then I forget the rest.

As for my week, Sunday was damn epic.
Me and Becky went to Bristol and were a hardcore shopping TEAM.
We did Park Street then ate in Beijing Bistro - my current fav restaurant where we had a bottle of wine and I broke my resolution, then we ran to Cabots Circus a journey which included running across dual carriageways and climbing over fences, did shopping then got the train back.
Afterwards went to mine and made a lasagne. =D

I have little left to say.
Therefore:

Now listening to: Triangle Walks by Fever Ray
SUCK IT BITCHES.

HEY GUYS

My week's been pretty awesome I'm not gunna lie, Manchester on Tuesday, Juliet's on Wednesday, Hopes on Thursday (where I got terribly drunk), Kate came round on Friday, WATCHING STARTREK IN WILLS CAR ON SATURDAY, work and stuff on Sunday.

It's been awesome.

SO yeah, Manchester was SO nice guys, like srsly, if you're applying next year (cath and tom) look at it because it was SO GOOD. Like I only put it as a 5th because I needed another one, but it was super impressive. Leeds tomorrow, waking up at 6 (gay.)

And Will's on saturday was insane, if anyone ever gets the chance to watch a film on an ipod in their friends car i suggest you take it.

Juliet I must say, I was very impressed with your rhyming skillz, all is forgiven.
Cath, O'Bama looks much cooler smoking, accept it. Also I lol'd.
Josh, thankyou for answering my question and I was very impressed with your melodica.
although answer me this,

what the douche was this face?
^^

Tom, stop being such a poosk.

OH HAS ANYONE BEEN ON TOMS FACEBOOK GROUP?
It's SO much fun riping it out of all the stupid people, you should all try it.
par example

Josh my favourite album of the year is a hard question, especially because my music taste tends to change every second of the day. I will eventually get back to you on that (probably when I'm doing a not so rushed blog)

I don't think there was anything else to say this blog?
So I'll close with this



YOU JUST DONT SEE IT COMING

Love David

Frantic friday

Well ok first of all, the blog looks like a ton of shit now and secondly its my birthday soon. This aint gonna be a long post because I cba so heres another good comic strip which i'm sure david has already seen.

so yer, here's my blog

First of all!

This week has been pretty great
First there was the pub on sunday
Then i had work on monday night and this guy came in and was buying white dwarf and i said he could have my warhammer table and he said he was going to take it to great ormond street where he works and let the kids play with it which is great cause i've never used it and it's been in my crawlspace for like...ever.
Then Tuesday I remember doing something (though I'm not sure what) - I think that was fun
Wednesday we all went to jubs's and listened to LPs and went on a walk
So yer, this brings us pretty-much-up-to-date with right now, here, this day.

Juliet, I must commend your poetry skills and agree - tom should be punished
So seeing as yours is tomorrow and nobody's put anything forward:
Tom, your challenge is do a blog in the form of a flash animation.
And not being bothered to read the blogs is no excuse. Hop to man!

So about two weeks ago, I found a band called the magnetic fields which I reccomend to everyone and anyone.
Okay, so I have a question - I know we still have a month left but I'm just asking - what's your favourite album of the decade? Big question, I know but give it a go.

David - I like green

Oh and another thing...












That's right
I
bought
a
melodica
^^

EDIT: I just recieved an offer from Portsmouth conditional on a B in history.
Well, they do have the lowest entry requirements but it's a start, right?

See you next week

listening to: oh wait only dickheads do this

bloggedy bloggedy blog BLOG. Had a pretty mundane day sat around for most of it, watched that really sad episode of 8 simple rules where the dad dies, bad times. David that DVD you gave was awesome, I think possibley it was more than just a film Juliet got so confused she forgot how to go to the toilet. I read marxist literature while i watched it so i could feel like a cool kid. We found a cool cottage for holiday its near a lake and a little village and its in the middle of the countryside so we can chill country style, I'm well exited guys. My back hurts................... Belle the really awesome pretty horse isn't being sold anymore :)
Well now i feel physically sick, accidently venturing onto whitecivilrights.com while clicking on a pic of barak obama smoking(I don't care what you say it made him look cool) is not for the faint hearted this is a universe where heath ledger commited suicide because he was overexposed to the hideous unnaturalness of homosexuality by those 'wogs in Hollywood' (actual quote) Its perfectly right to segregate white people and black people to reduce risk of rape and murder and yet a fertalised egg has the same rights as a person. Don't really know what to do with myself now

oh yer, btw guys, turns out i'm gay

Merry Tuesday.

Listening to: Another Universe by
Golden Silvers. Since I forgot to post
Last week, chosen by David it is my
Forfeit to blog as Shakespeare favoured most.
A sonnet they said! A-B-A-B rhyme
And a couplet to end. With iambic
Pentameter (ten syllables per line).
Fourteen lines overall to make it stick.
So here we go, with inevitably
Nothing to say. Yesterday I got an
Offer from Leicester University
- Like Swindon, with added racism, man.
Now just Edinburgh left. My number one
Choice. So weird, in a year we’ll all be gone.

This poetry lark is not so bad. I’m
Feeling art-tastic – I’m painting again.
Work’s good, on bar making cocktails with lime,
And serving fancy bottles of champagne.
One hundred and twenty pounds for some Dom
Perignon! The place is full with all these
Rich people trying to forget they’re from
Swindon. Come on, get over it please.
Embrace your town and do it right! Grab a
Bottle of Strongbow and get yourself down
The park. Do it the Swindonian way!
Keep going until your liver turns brown.
For the pros a bottle of Frosty Jack -
Not us of course. Never ever go back.

So, what’s the verdict? Have I done enough?
And what about Tom? What price must he pay?
I’ve worked hard on this, y’know. It’s been tough.
He can’t be allowed to just get away
Without any punishment. Forgetting
To post! It’s a crime without peer. I’ve paid
My dues, so you better think of something
Harder – make him lie in this bed he’s made.
Make an example of him so no one
Else will ever commit this most heinous
Of crime. We can’t let him think that he’s won!
This is a matter of principle! Lest
We ever forget. So, yeah. That was my
Poem. Shit, perhaps. But ask yourself why.

Short post lulz
I HAVE PHYSICS NOW

Week 2 in the house and Josh is writing a blog

This week, I like The Great Lake Swimmers, Red House Painters and Yeaysayer :)

sO I sent off my university application yesterday. It was pretty rad, I went to my tutor with cake and a lsit of things for him to put on my reference. He always did strike me as a raisin kind of guy - lovely but just a bit dull. Turns out I'm a good judge of cakey character. University's suddenly scary now it's all out of my hands. It seems like a kind of conveyor belt which is already planned out for you: school, college, uni, job, midlife crisis. And I don't like it. I know people who have dropped out and landed on their feet just fine so why the heck not? Some people do love Uni though, I just hope I'm one of them cause otherwise this is all going to seem like a total waste of time.

NEVER MIND

Cath, gap year sounds AWESOME especially that one in africa. If I had the money I would take the year out but right now I'm just saving up for living costs at university (if I ever acually go). I would love to travel some time (like, not family holiday - an actual adventure) but I don't think it will happen for another couple of years unfortunately. People want too much money for you to see their country which makes me wonder what it is they're hiding...

I'm super-phsyched today cause I went to my piano teacher and she said I don't have to learn the third movement of my sonata for my performance exam, which means I only have to play the two movements and can still make about 15 minutes worth. Great news - Mozart is borrrrrring. Should be done in like two or three weeks and then FINALLY I can play what I want to play.

Speaking of music - when are we getting together for acousticing stuff up? Cause we almost did that one time but everyone was busy doing this and that and I never ended up there in time and it all seemed to come to nothing. Oh and David, if you want my advise, don't take the music course, A level has absolutely destroyed everything I loved about classical music - maybe it's just me, some people like it. I'm sure the degree is totally different anyway, right? PS. still covering my saturday 9-1? :)

Well, I don't know what else to say. I've just realised that the town lights come on in like ten minutes and I should be able to see the fireworks from my room. Maybe that's what I'll do next.

Oh yer, Juliet - well done for posting this week.

Toodles!

sooooo I've decided not to go to uni next year, I doubt I'd get in anywhere with my predicted grades plus it's kind of the best way i can think of to delay the inevitable. Not really entirely sure what Im to doing yet but then i never really am....... I might do this horse thingamy for a bit if theres still a place there for me or theres a programme that lets you go heard cattle in the outback which sounds pretty damn awesome though flights will be pricey, thats another thing MONEY I have 2 jobs and there is still seriously no way Im going to be able to afford half this gap year stuff like thers this really awesome human rights thingamy in cape town (which i am slightly afraid of having been very briefly to urban parts of Africa before) where you get to sit in when the parliment is in session as like an independent party to ensure no corruption and monitor conditions in refugee camps but its lik 2000 pounds for 3 months because you need an armed guard some of the time. Another place i thought of is mongolia they have really ugly ponies there and just gallop around all day, it's my kind of place.I pretty much wanna go everywhere I really REALLY want to go to south america my dad said he'd take me there in the summer to do the inca traill so i figure i might just stay behind after, anyone fancy going on a europey tour thing in the summer or maybe just renting a house like in the middle of nowhere (preferably with ponies) for like a month somewhere hot I think t'would be epic. To be honest guys I'm pooing myself it's like I always had this plan and now t's not there i realised how it might not all turn out ok after all, but I feel kind of exited too because now its not there anything could happen and life has a habit of being so much better than you could plan it. So I figure save all i can this year (cash christmas presents will be appriciated) and spend it on awesomeness for awhile while I maybe work out what the fuck to do with myself

David has Kung Flu

So second week guys, this shit's really happening.
Not much has really happened since we last spoke on these here internets, except on tuesday when TOM HAD A DUCKING FIT INFRONT OF US ALL. That wasn't cool Tom. Not cool at all.
Also yesterday I had a super fun day of singing concert and workshops, it's a crazy life I know.

I'm pretty sure other stuff has happened this week but I just can't remember. I'm sorry guys.

In other news I just got a letter from the University of Birmingham, they're telling me to get ABB then I can come do physics there. Pretty cool.
Uni times guys, they're pretty scary I'm not gunna lie, it's like we're growing up.

I know I want to go do physics for 3 years, but then I have no idea what I want to do. I don't want to stay in education forever, but I so don't want to get a real job or anything. I mean what if it's boring guys? What if I've picked the wrong thing and I actually find Science really boring and I want to be a professional cook or something?
I think I might do a post-grad degree in music because it would suck to lose that.

SO what's everyone elses plan? Where have y'all applied to and to do what?
And Tom what are you gunna do next year and after that?
If you're lucky I'll talk about where I've applied next week.

OH ALSO IN NEWS our good friends Freya Joe and Jailin (oh god I can't spell it) have been given money for a house by the council :) thought everyone would be excited to know

Tom - World of Gaycraft is Gay. Have you seen the doctor yet?
Cath - You're very right, but breath?
Juliet and Josh - I have nothing particutlar to say to either of you, keep being awesome

Does anyone read our blog yet?
I'm really liking it

JULIET I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW

p.s.
cyanide and happiness is still funny

Well obviously this week my blog post is going to have slight relevence to my Fit that i had a few days ago. I'm not sure 100% how it happened but essentially this could mean toning down my lifestlye untill I know whats what. Other then that, I finally got round to finishing my math exams and also uploading the photos to facebook (Stop bitching at me now Juliet). I'm not too sure what else to mention about todays blog post but I can make a point about World of Warcraft like on the 'Roll Call'.

These days on World of warcraft any idiot can get some of the highest gear by doing the easyest things. This is bullshit because its like giving a complete fuckwit a PHD. While it makes him look good, he's still an idiot. Back in the day on World of Warcraft you had to work hard and play hard to earn your epic items. It also seemed like a bigger accomplishment to kill bosses whereas now days you just keep killing the same bosses over and over.

So thats pretty much all I have to write about this week, hope you enjoy it. And i also hope you enjoy this picture.

A horse is a horse

Of course,
But this week I've had slightly more pressing matters on my mind (I know, I know, first post, lets just jump straight into this). If urine is so sterile then why do we wash our hands? I mean, if people in the desert drink it and doctors used to sterilise needles with it (albeit people used to die more) then surely if you end up pissing on your hands - it's just like a pretty deccent hand wash? Better than going and turning the taps smothered in god-knows-what after washing in the sink anyway? I just don't get it. So I consulted my encyclopedia.

Apparently, the Encyclopedia Britannica is a bit more concerned with global warming and music and sleep paterns and natural phenomena and ... and stuff.

So please, google it, come up with something better than 'lol, fags don't wash their hands'



Oh, did anyone see 'The Family' last night? Man, was that depressing. Last week me and my sister were in stitches from begining to end but last night I just had to sit through an hour of this married couple fighting. Then I went to my room and listened to Lou Reed so I'd be lying if I went to bed in a good mood.

I started reading 'Ender's game' this week. It's this book that's been sat next to my bed probably since commonweal I just decided to pick up one sleepless night and I'm really really into it. I haven't read an entire book probably ... this year..? Now suddenly I have a list to get through before christmas. Is it bad that this sort of stuff is all I have to talk about?

I LOVE WINTER. I got all cosy'd up in my winter coat and scarf and hat today and got rained on and shivered all th way home but didn't care cause I was listening to the dodo's and my bike pedal coming off was a good excuse for not going to politics (sorry Cath). Now I have a cup of tea, Martina Topley Bird and a stack of homework to do, which probably means I should get on with it.

So I'll leave you with this:

David: I would swap with you but I work monday nights
Juliet: Check this out! - and yer, it is for real
Cath: Calm down, eat some sugar
Tom: See you tomorrow


Josh out

Hi…first post, sorry if it just comes across as a rant or a mindless outpouring of random thoughts but I am not a particularly eloquent writer, ask anyone I can’t even use paragraphs. Anyways this is whats been rattling around the confusing and often frightening world of my mind this week, ‘big society not big state’(David Camerons new big idea) What a cunt of a statement, for starts I really can’t see any parties within the British system arguing for any kind of big state, what labour has created is not a big state, nationalisation died along with our dreams when Thatcher came to power. David Cameron is not arguing against a big state he’s assaulting the welfare state (the institutional model a part of big state but not the entire of it) directly attacking the proportion of GDP being used by the state, not an entirely indefensible position considering that each individuals proportion of national debt is now larger than that of a small African nation but the strange thing is the man who claims to support openness in politics has tried to make this into some strange visionary principle painting the picture of a utopian society of imposed morals and individual responsibility (read self interest) . Has he been watching too many of Barack Obama’s speeches? Is he having a sort of strange political midlife crisis? As leader of the conservative party he has every right to be rational, to be the grown up who makes tough choices but there’s no way your going to evoke passion or be a visionary, you can no more get exited about a Tory party policy than u can about vaccination. People vote conservative because they’ve given up they’ve discovered a secret that makes them think their better than everyone else LIFE SUCKS and since discovering this they find progress tiring and dreams frivolous, they think it would be nice to stop for awhile let things stay the same or maybe a bit more like the olden days. Poor David’s misguided attempt to make conservativism the socialism of the 21st century was doomed from the off because his key electorate have lost hope, this is as good as it gets, oh well at least we’re not poor. But still he tries, still he rambles this mindless drivel about charitys taking the role of the welfare state, an obviously unworkable option considering its been proven that people tend only to give to charities that play a part in their own lives religious people give to churches, rich people give to the arts etc., its not because their selfish it’s because it is what occurs to them but what this means is that the welfare state, most prominent in the lives of the poor will have to receive the majority of its funding from those same people, and then there’s decentralisation giving power to neighbourhoods to choose how their neighbourhood is run. WAY TO FUEL THE EVER INCREASING INEQUALITY IN OUR SOCIETY DAVID, way to allow the rich to withdraw even further from society into their own special neighbourhoods where they can choose the type of houses built(read type of neighbours) and fund their own council services just for their neighbourhood, way to find another way of expecting the needy to fund the needy. And who will ensure the coherence of this society with minimal central planning THE MAGIC HANDS OF COURSE and you thought we left those in the 1920’s, yes the same magic hands which have worked so well in running our deregulated economy will now be running our society too. What a phenomenal cunt and worst than all the rest of this is that we’ve heard it all before ‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope’ . Lets not go back there.

Don't look now, it's Tuesday.

Listening to: Worried Shoes by Karen O. & the Kids

Yeah, man. HTML my friends. =D
(Although, just noticed that all the basic text formatting is in the toolbar anyway. How disapointing.)
AND - HEY DAVID!!

So, Tuesday. Probably should've waited until after college to write this. Y'know, until I've actually done something worthy with my life.
Though, I suppose I have news: Juliet Luft, sober till the new year!
Saving money and keeping me sane.
Although, haven't yet decided where my morals lie in this vow of alcoholic abstinence. Or in any case if there are any moral components to the decision. I think it's more - stop wasting £100 a week and stop getting off with randomers before people begin to hate on me.
C'est la vie.

Haha, love how when it autosaves the 'SAVE NOW' button flashes like the computer pressed it. =D
That'll be my favourite feature of Blogger.
Like how on iPlayer the volume goes up to eleven.

Oooh! I remember now.
The Russell Howard vs the Malards saga has thickened!
Recap for those not paying attention:
In 'Russell Howard's Good News' Howard made a joke about Malard Ducks and their fondness of gang rape, a joke I had heard before from the lips of one Stewart Lee.
David suggested that perhaps Stewart had given Russell the joke, and was perhaps a 'contributer' (read: 'writer') on the 'Good News' show.
I checked the credits and who should I find but Richard fucking Herring. Not only a phenominally shit comedian but once a memeber of the comedy duo: Lee & Herring, eg: Stewart Lee's EX-comedy partner!
SO! We see how a bitter Herring has seen the success of his ex-partner Stewart Lee and has begun feeding his lines to an ignorant Russell Howard. For shame.
Problem is, Stewart Lee also has his own show out (Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle). Although originally broadcast on BBC2 it has now made it's way onto Dave, and this show includes the aforementioned malard joke. Someone other than me is going to spot this discrepency, and who are they about to believe? little squishy Russell or Stewart Lee.
Dun dun DUUUN.

Annnyway. Cath's turn next.
Her Driving Licence is currently sat by my computer.
And apparently she has left her bag here too.
Dickhead.

Well, I'm off for marmite on toast and a cup of tea (black no sugar).

Woah David's first post woah

So hey guys
I really dont know what I'm doing this whole blog thing. Infact apart from the SHITza police a couple times I've never really read a blog.
SO THIS IS FUN and new and exciting except none of those things really.
This week has been uneventful but really really long and tiring. I hate being back at college. Awesome fireworks times on saturday and thursday though.

I dont think Monday was the best day of the week for me to pick you guys, I'm not gunna lie.
I have college 10.30 - 3, a singing lesson at 5.30 and physics tuition off mon pere at 7 - 8 so it's not the least busy of days.
Also Monday is kate's day
that makes me feel dirty.

I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO WRITE.
I'm sure I'll get better at this eventually. Right?
Right?

Tom I loved your storys.

JULIET I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW
LOVE DAVID

p.s. this

first official post

Well might aswell get this ball rolling seeing as it is my day today to post. Well for a start topic, last night was good :). annoyed that i burnt the bottom of my wellys abit but no harm really. Today i was really really tired and couldn't focus properly in lessons even though I finished at 12:30. That annoying bastard face Stewart pissed me off as per usual so I just phased out and almost fell asleep. Andy's lesson today was ok because it was a slow paced lesson watching these slow minded people do presentations that they clearly just googled or wiki'ed or summin. There's also another person who is in my math and english class who i really don't like because he's just a 1st year twat. I know it sounds predictable but this kid just pisses me off to no end. I'm glad in todays lesson after he finished his totally goat shit presentation entitled 'We need the Internet' Andy threw all these questions at him which he couldn't answer. yey Andy ^_^. Other then that, I don't have too much to say apart from a stupid woman i met in town who asked me if the floor we were on in the multi story car park was the ground floor. This strikes me as odd because I can tell if a lift is going up and down, Ay Caramba. Aswell as just hating on people today, I drew a silly picture, hope you like it :).

In the beginning...

There was God. this god named himself Tom. He was totally awesome at drinking Fosters thanks to david who had not been created yet and was also amazing at them little air hocky games. In nothingness he sat and had a thought. A thought of a new world where he could live for eternity with friends. Of course this was a silly idea so he went to the pub insted. After consuming his pints and having a chuckle with a beardy man named reginald, he used his incomprihensable powers to create a tiny world in which he would call home, also a place where he could get a really good kabab from round the corner. As he lived life though the ages, he was reall really bored because all that existed was microscopic lifeforms so he went and played World of Warcraft for a couple of millions of years untill he met some awesome people, No, not my friends today. I'm talking of course about the dinosaurs. They really know how to party then crash out on their friends home floor. Anyway a couple of million years later he made this blog to Comemirate this Awesome radical story he made from scratch. Now it is the task of other individuals to pass on their knoledge of modern life and the real life storys. Hope this whole blog thing works out guys.

Love Tom :3
