Shutting down for Christmas?

Evening all... As it was just pointed out to me I have neglected the blog for far too long and because of this my opinion has been unfamiliarly kept to itself, don't worry though, this will be rectified immediately. I start though with something i wrote yesterday....

As I begin to write this entry I should theoretically be listening to the lecture I am sat in, but I lost the thread of it about 20minutes ago, and any attempt at concentration and understanding would be about as successful as Arsenal's goalkeeping.

In the last week I have managed to hand in my last assignment before Christmas, visit the countries most obscurely placed hospital in deepest, darkest Kent, catch up with a couple of friends over lunch, decorate my bedroom with tinsel, lights and a small tree as well as watching plenty of crap television. That to me is plenty of work and effort for the time being so this is me shutting down my concentration and brain power for a well-earned Christmas break!

Well actually I tell a lie, I'm not quite shut down completely as of yet. Today I will attempt to cook a roast dinner for the first time, as I’ve had neither to inclination or will to try before. This could go truly badly, or it may well give me further reasons to shout about domestic godliness that is so far based around the ability to make a bed, Hoover and wash-up... What a guy! Either way, await the tale because it's sure to be a descriptive frenzy of loonie-ness and crazed attempts to describe what has happened using slap-stick, over the top adjectives!

(2 Minutes later) Has time stopped moving?
Apparently i still have another 15 minutes of this lecture to sit through... I might try writing the story to pass the time?

Well that was the strange ramblings of yesterday. Coming up in separate entries will be the opening to that story, and most importantly the tale of my roast dinner! Speak Soon

This is Snow Joke!

Greetings from what can now definitely be described as Snowy Portsmouth, even if you've been up since 8 O'clock! Having had up to 6 inches of snow the chaos that is described as THE BIG FREEZE has resulted in missed and cancelled seminars, and an extra day in bed for myself whilst I recover from the illness Curry World decided to give me. At the moment I have no idea if my 9 o'clock seminar will be on tomorrow morning, if I’ll be able to get a train home in the afternoon or if both might be cancelled leaving me with another day in bed... The uncertainty that snow seems to bring the UK. I can't help but think people in Finland, Norway, Russia and other Eastern European states will be laughing at the way we react, describe and behave when snow occasionally settles here in the UK, but what can you do?

In other news, today we lost the bid to host the world cup in 2018 and embarrassingly we came at least 3rd behind Spain/Portugal and Russia, 2 countries that barely bothered to report it on their respective news channels whilst our media has spent half of their time reporting the bid and the other half sabotaging it (with the odd breaking news story about snow), and this just serves to prove we may as well not bother. The nation was behind it, the government was behind it, the royal family was behind it and the golden-boy of English football gave a stirring speech too whilst the Russian president couldn't be bothered to make the journey and they still won. A lesson to be learnt from this saga, don't try to hard, don't get our hopes up and certainly don't let the press or television companies get involved because to them viewers and readers are more important than national success.
