The joys of going to Lannnnndannnnnnnnnn! [PART 2]

In a previous blog dated "Sunday August 23rd 2009" and subsequently titled "The joys of going to Lannnnndannnnnnnnn!" you may remember the mentioning of the glorious time consumer entitled "Celebrity Hunting." In this previous blog I stated that, I quote, "our celebrity hunting didn't produce one celebrity, NOT ONE!" unquote.

I would now like to confirm that on my latest trip to 'Lannndannnnnnnnnnn!' Celebrity Hunting actually paid off. Not only did we see a celebrity; we met a celebrity, we had a photograph with a celebrity, and a celebrity sarcasting stated that he liked my hair!

Now that's what I call a good day's work!!!

ps. the celebrity in question is Peter Andre!!!

Long time, No Blog

Well hasn't it been a while since I last posted a blog on here.

56 days to be exact. or 8 weeks and 0 days if you want to be even more precise.

I know. Let's take this even further.

1,536 hours ago. 92,160 minutes. 5,529,600 seconds.

isn't it amazing what can be achieved when your mind becomes so bored, don't you think?

Anyway, I should probably start using this a lot more than I have done recently; try to come up with some interesting and witty stories to post.

YES THAT WAS MY ATTEMPT TO CREATE THE WORD 'BORED' OUT OF NUMBERS HAHA!

The joys of going to Lannnnndannnnnnnnnn!

Ok, so mother and I went to Lannndannnnnnnnnnn at the end of last week shopping, and we had a really good day; even though our celebrity hunting didn't produce one celebrity; NOT ONE!!!

It was so much fun, I feel it's only right to give my top tips on 'How To Have Fun In Lannndannnnnnn" which will be published in fall this year.

1. Never get lost on Oxford Street - even though Oxford Street is dead-straight it's possible to lose your way! Yes believe me, it's even easier than spending money in some of the wonderful shops.

2. Don't use shops as pinpoint markers for when you do get lost on Oxford Street - why you ask? Well every shop appears on this famous street more than once, and therefore is very deceptive when you think you are in one place, and you are somewhere complately different on the road.

3. Go to the London Palladium and see 'Sister Act' starring Patina Miller, Ian Lavender and Sheila Hancock - It's impossible for you not to tap along, and enjoy yourself when watching this amazing show! Patina Miller as Deloris Van Cartier is a class act in her West End debut; a must see at amnazing value!

General Studies is, well, general

So I like many other *enthusiastic* 6th Formers had my General Studies exam today. (N) But how the hell do you know what to expect???

After all, it's general!!!

Almost 4 hours of sheer boredom I spent inside that hall, thank god it's over!!!

But on the brightside it had Media & PE in it, even if it did make me suffer with maths and science! :-(

Bitter pill to swallow

Source "The Sun" Wednesday April 29th 2009.

Richii "Tinchy 'Safe Hands' Stryder" Tomlinson (try saying that when drunk!) made his long awiated Club de Foot á la Tony debut in goal on a fine, summer's evening at the Astro Ground, this evening, playing out a 6-6 draw with Racing Club Evolve, who were missing their star player, comedian Russell Howard.

After taking a solid 2-0 lead early on, before going 3-2 down, the Club de Foot's showed tremendous character to battle back and take a 6-5 lead into the final '5 minutes' as the referee stated.

5 minutes my @r$3!!!!

Eventually, due to tiredness, the Foot's could hold on no longer, and RC Evolve grabbed an equalizer to squeeze the life out of the Foot's, with the last kick of the game.

After the game Stryder had this to say; "Overall, the fans witnessed a truely memorable match. It was obvious today why we have been labelled as 'the best footballing team in the league.' Jamie 'The Bean' Sweeney was immense upfront, outskilling and leaving the opposition defenders fo dead. But, to be fair, the lads gave it their all, and could walk no more at the end. The referee didn't help us out either, giving away key decisions."

"I think I played well today. Joining from Fenerbache was an easy decision after meeting with the manager and the captain. As soon as I saw the lads in training, I knew this was the club for me, even though I had offers from Spain, Italy and Coventry City. The lads have all congratulated me on some of the saves I made today, commenting on my desire, using everybody part imaginable to keep the ball out of the net. But, I have to be honest. The boys outfield deserve the credit for playing so well this evening. They're the one's who really won it for us."

"Conceding with the last kick of the game was a bitter pill to swallow. Maybe I could have done better, but it's in the past, and the boys are pleased we didn't lose after RC Evolve beat us 15-2 earlier in the season. We can learn from this. We can take this into our game next week, and use it to spur us on in our quest for European football next season."

Dean

Ok, so I want to start getting involved in acting...

And recently I've discovered that the makers of my favourite TV programme (SKINS!) are making a short exclusive film online and are looking for a male to play the lead role, Dean.

This is going to be my big break!!!! right?

Ok, maybe it won't be my big break, especially if I don't get my audition in on time, but hey, maybe one day? Yes?

Comeon people, let's pull together and get the bandwagon rolling (and Fran maybe you could metaphorically jump on?) and see if I can at least get a role as one of the extras???

The Advantages of Being Ill

When you're ill, it's often not seen as having advantages. Recently however, whilst being wrapped up in my warm duvet for the better part of a week, I have had plenty of time to think and reflect, mainly down to the fact of actually being ill.

Ok, so I was there with a head that felt like it was going to explode, and a stomach that was churning slowly, and extremely painfully, but it allowed me to think clearer about things, which probably shouldn't be possible with such thumping headaches.

Now because of these thoughts, I have more direction in what it is I want to achieve, and I am thankful now for this time being given to me.

Ok, now you can make your man-flu jokes, even though I DID NOT suffer from the bug!!! *Yes, I swear!

Singing Teachers

As many of you will not be aware (yes, ok, so normally it is "So as many of you ARE aware, but I'm trying to be different ok?), one of my cousins is an English teacher in a private girls school. Recently, I was enlightened by one of her students, who I just happen to know, that she sings in class.

No suprise there then! And that's not in a bad way!!!

Then I was told that she was singing the Pussycat Dolls!!! I collapsed!!! I went into cardiac arrest!!! Fran, a Pussycat Dolls fan!!! (She tried to blame it on Anna appartently!!! - I'm disappointed in you Fran because this, this is a bad thing!!!!!!)

It may have related to the set essay, but still, there is no excuses for this. Anyway, I must now dash, "When I Grow Up" by T.P.D. has just exited the left earPhone connected to my iPhone [someone must surely get this!] and I must concentrate on the lyrics!

:P

Frances, you're not alone!!!

After reading Frances' blog (www.beingmiss.blogspot.com <-- free plug there Fran!) and seeing that she is the only person who currently has the interest of "dancing in [your] living room to R & B divas CDs".

(Do not fear guys! I don't do this in my spare time, but I was intregued to find out who share my interests)

So I clicked on "spending the parents' money", and to my utter surprise, there was noone, NOONE other than me who liked "spending the parents' money!"

People of Britain, I ask you, "WHAT IS GOING ON?"

"The TechGuys©"

With shuffle on on my iPod, 'Patience' by Take That just popped on (yes, I know, sad, but hey, we all have embarassments!) which has just reminded me of an event earlier today. Finally, my new laptop wire came through the post after the old one snapped.

Mother and I sent it off to 'The TechGuys©' expecting them to be very professional (hence the professional name). After countless confusing phone calls, it was finally collected and the journey began. They say patience is a virtue, and after what could out to be a very expensive week (twin sisters and their payments for the loaning of laptop power chargers these days!!!) the new wire arrived.

And that's when my patience went out of the window. Who in their right minds thinks that a three-pronged half of a power charger slots into a two-pronged slot??? And after all these are 'The TechGuys©'

Comeon, you're supposed to be professionals, but hey, Dad has managed to find half of an old wire to keep me pleased ...

FOR NOW!!!

Typical!!!

Football on the TV these days can be quite exciting, but nothing compares to watching the mighty Coventry City live in the flesh. Take this afternoons FA Cup Fifth round tie at Ewood Park against Premier League opposition Blackburn Rovers.

A thrilling match, with end-to-end action. Despite going behind to a Roque Santa Cruz corker after only thirty seconds, City fans kept the faith, unlike the many Manchester United sofa fans would've!!!

After Aron Gunnarsson (and for those of you who still haven't figured out who he is - SHAME ON YOU!!!) equalized, before Michael Doyle scored for the third game in a row, things looked good. That is until the fourth official paraded 5 minutes of injury time, despite there being no injuries within the game.

The only stoppage was what is now going to be referred to as the 'Cupid moment.' (I'm sure you can picture the pitch invader in your head!) After spraying roses all over the pitch, the highlight of the day has to be Clinton Morrison picking one up and presenting it to Chris Samba!

This is what the phrase, 'you had to be there' was made for!

Judging Books

Have you ever watched something on television that before you have even seen it, you have the feeling that you're not going to like it? Yes, as you can probably guess, I did this recently. What was the programme you ask? skins on E4!!!

Well, surprise, surprise, no I didn't like it!!!

I LOVED IT!
(Yes that was a one line paragraph for effect.)

It was absolutley amazing!!! Whilst, completely and utterly outrageous in both plot and characters, you can't help but to sit back and keep watching. I don't really know what the unique selling point of this programme is to be honest, yet as I'm sat in the living room watching downloaded episodes on my iPhone, I couldn't really care.

It makes me laugh so hard, my lungs feel like they are going to genuinly burst at any given moment; there's not many programmes which have made me feel like this in a very long time! And Cook is just a pure genious of character.

*Now if you excuse me, I have some episodes to get back to watching.

Same Old, Same Old!!!

There's one common feeling when it comes down to sitting on the sofa, with a bottle of Magners at hand, with the TV remote on the footstool, after just being used to put the international football on; well at least when it's England playing anyway. What is that feeling you ask?

Well it's definatley not optimism!!! Tonight's it's the European Champion' turn to give us a kicking! Although, at the moment, it seems the England captain John Terry is doing it for them after accidentally taking out team-mate Shaun Wright-Phillips from behind.

Which brings me onto another point. Shirt printing. Can you imagine how much it would cost to have WRIGHT-PHILLIPS on the back of your already overpriced football jersey? I recently got GUNNARSSON 12 on the back of my Coventry City away shirt. That cost £17, and that's shorter!

And you wonder why so many football fans are worried about the recession when everyone's favourite players have to have the longest names and two numbers!!!

Getting Started

I'm one who's always up for starting things...

Just never finishing them!

It doesn't matter how much enthusiasm, excitement, blood, sweat & tears and whatnot, goes into what ever project I am partaking in; it will never get finished. Maybe that's a good thing, then again maybe not. If it is left unfinished, you can always go back at a later date and use the creative patch in your head to expand the so called 'genius' on the paper or screen.

One will have to sleep on this... maybe I'll finish this opening blog one day ... who knows?
