Fridays Delay Blog *(Part 2)

Okay so here I am sitting in lister park at the top of mannigham lane.  Ware should I be you ask? 

Management centre about 500 metres away.  I kind of forgot ware my tutorial room was and by the time I got to it, it was already in full swing!

I don't like to go into tutorials once they've started and as the rest of my group was also not there I decided to come into the part instead and do some work.

Its lovely out here, the flowers are in full bloom, the air is clear(ish) certainly better than Uni and although chilly it's a nice refreshing atmosphere.

As you probably tell my mood is changing for the better.  I think being out of halls and just getting out in the nice breeze helped; I'm goanna take a bit more of a walk and see ware I end up.

I ended up here at the boating lake, would you believe it until 2 weeks ago I didn't even know we had a boating lake!  I'm goanna have to find out when the boats come back cause I won't a go on it!  I have an audience as I write this Ducks, Geese, Pigeons and a few gulls, I think they remember me from last week when I fed them Lol!

Well that's it for the day I'm going back to halls to organise for tomorrow's trip to York!

Firday's Late Blog *(part 1)

Okay so I'm not having the best of days.  I don't know what's wrong it's just I'm feeling really down again.

Worst thing is I can tell if anything nice happens I will switch into being happy again, its like I'm switching from one mood to another with no control over it L.

Something bad happened earlier on when an old friend sent me a message on face book, a lot of bad memory's came flooding back and I deleted them, to stop them talking to me L.  I'm not sure if that was the best thing to do but at the time it felt good!

I kinda regret it now but I really don't feel in the mood to deal with that part of my past at the moment heck I'm having enough problems with the present!

Ah well I'm goanna try and get some work done so maybe I will feel a bit better soon.

War Part 3

Here's my final example from the HYS forum,

Barely a day goes by without these 'heroes' moaning about one thing or another.

Are they really saying that these men, at the peak of physical fitness, can't handle a few lads shouting some nasty words, and that they need a law to protect their feelings?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Yes, because quite simply the litigation society we have at present caused by people concerned with the "Human Rights" of the accused means that if they did react and deal with "the lads" they would be sued and put into prison.

Unfortunately the European Declaration of Human rights has meant that although these trained protectors of our freedom (and they are deployed in more places than just Afghanistan and Iraq please note!) are unable to help us normal citisens to regain the Britain that has respect!

That's it for now I am off to do work ....

War Part 2

This is another of the posts from Have your say but I really got angry with it!

While I don't condone the abuse of people, the armed services should realise that the invasion of Iraq was illegal and that the invaders were fighting for the USA, not the UK. Don't people remember the anti-war marches?
Http://news.bbc.co.uk

Obviously this person doesn't realise that it was the POLITICIANS who decided to go to war not the army. They didn't have a choice to go or not, the Army asked for confirmation that the Iraq war was legal and they got this confirmation!!!!

Okay at the end of the day that information may or may not have been correct however once they had been given an answer they COULD NOT say no to going into action.

If they did they leave themselves open for loosing there job and possibly being imprisoned!

Yes I do have family out there at the moment so have a vested interest in the War. Regardless of your feelings towards the legality of the war you must realise that these members of our military our doing there job and are trying to make Iraq a better place. The beginning of the war may have been a bad choice but hopefully .... in the end life will be somehow better and we'll get our troops back.

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!
