Have your Say ... Again

Okay so I was silly enough to read the news when I got up this morning, there's a heck of a lot of people discussing whether it is correct for Soldiers to ware there Uniforms in public ....

I've got one or two posts from the BBC website that I would like to talk about .. however the one I have Copied and Pasted here I think stands by itself and I don't need to make any more comments!

What sort of message are we giving to our Service people?

This is the only country where such nonsense exists, imagine the USA or France or Israel thinking in this way?

In these countries service people who are the youth are praised in Israel you don't even pay for a bus if your in uniform people want to give you respect and are proud of you.

I remember the days when the sight of Sailors and soldiers were a common site at railway stations in the UK.

The Final Countdown of Uni!

The end.....

Okay so I have the feeling this is theme alot of my blogs have already taken, however, here I sit in halls, not able to sleep yet not awake enough to do any real work. I'm awake not cause I wan't to be but I can't help thinking of the fact when these next 5 assignments and 3 exams are done I've finished!

Finished Uni, part of me didn't see it coming .... I can't say its gone by in a flash. It hasn't it feels like many years ago I first moved into Kirkstone .... that was a really good year but it all seems so long ago.

Ah well I think I am gonna try and sleep and hope there are no more fire alarms! Although its gone quiet in halls so this might be what there waiting for .... you never no!

Not quite the way I thought it would go but good luck to everyone elected! Commiserations to those not so lucky.

This is it though, the last Election I will be seeing at the University, in away I will miss it but I will be very glad not to be asked have you voted constantly for two days ... and to not have to ask the same question lol!

I hope the Union does manage to find away to get more students interested, I have to admit until people I actually new were up for election I didn't really pay that much attention .... but when you look at the fact that the biggest vote count was only 921 (Academics) then you realise less than 10% of the students actually voted!

I have the feeling if I was here for a bit longer I might actually start getting active in the Union. However I had my four years so I had a chance its time to move on now!

Well have to go to a meeting in the library so will love ya and leave ya!

Well here's something for you all

Just found this from my freind and Ex-Workmate Gary he seems to have had a play with my facebook image!

Wooo doors fixed

Well thanks to Wing-Kin incorporated my door is officially fixed which means one less things to worry about!

Thanks Wing-Kin oh and Chris refused to take responsibility for breaking it!

Feel down ...i.e. shit!

What a day, okay so I started off today in a really positive mood, I managed to get a decent amount of sleep after the fire alarms last night, and, although I was still annoyed at who ever set them off it wasn’t putting me in a bad mood as such.

Suppose I compartmentalised it, sometimes you have to make sure you don’t take things to heart cause allot of the time the Warden job means you get blamed for everything! Heck I was even offered counseling as part of the job if it all got two much, sometimes I regret not taking that offer up!

So what caused me to be in a bad mood today? I have no idea, everything just seemed to go really shit, I missed my lecture this morning because I forgot what time the bus was, I forgot to book a room for my group tomorrow and generally anything that could have gone wrong has done. Coupled to the fact a certain friend of mine decided it would be funny to break the door Fire Hinge on my door and I can’t lock it know!

I hope I get out of this mood soon cause it really doesn’t suit me and I’ve been avoiding everyone today when I wanted to be out helping advertise the elections ... least most the people I asked to vote have done, I’m doing it on the way to work tomorrow.

Ah well that's that rant over and I feel a bit better now I feel tired, but really I don’t have that much time to sleep .... ahhh I hate uni some days!
