Beaten and Shaken

Thats right folks the past few weeks have brought upon many challenges in the form of House Rugby and Thorpe Park.

First thoguh an appology, we havn't blogged much recently but dont worry we havent forgotten about you we just havent had much time with exams looming amoung other things.

Anyway it only seems right i dedicate this sentence to a good oh pat on the back to the rest of our house rugby team. Me and Matt also paricipated (took part) and we ended up second in the ranking which is not bad at all (now here come the excuses) our captain got injured in the last match. Anyway it was a great few games and i think everyone came out slightly beaten afterwards and most definatley feeling the aches and pains then next day.

That weekend, or last weekend, however you want to look at it, we set off to Thorpe Park. Ah well what can i say, a great day, so much so we're going back after half term. Went on tons of the rides, etc would recommened it to anyone. In the end we ended up going on Nemisis about 9 times, all in search of trying to get a decent picture; by that time thoguh i think we had memorised the track. However there was no joy so it was over to the log flume to provides some wetness and you can see the results are below (sorry for the expressions we wanted to make it dramatic (and matt just hit me in the groin, lol, just kidding) but we were going for the dramatic effect, honest!) Anyway the running order is random women in the front, then Matt, then Me and finally our good old friend Dan (however to be fair he's not that old).

Thank you for reading and until next time. Goodbye and Goodnight!

Yours Faithfully

In the Summertime...

Afternoon all!

This Sunday was probably a first in British history- it was sunny! it didn't rain! there were no clouds! This was a typical excuse for another cycle trip into the vast forests near Steyning with Me, Mark, Dan, Ben, Loz and Daryl. There was capture the flag and rugby and in each of them Loz was, um interesting. I found a shop that sells swizzle sticks (remember them!) and Maxibon ice creams! (well- food first you know!)

It was definately a good day all round and to add into the bargin I also manged to capture this photo of Dan and Ben- in action! This will all be good prep for house rugby on Wednesday!

Anyways, i'll quite hogging the airwaves- goodnight

God gets revenge (what a comeback!)

Hey Folks,

A great Bible quote here we found during RE (what else is it for!) God finally takes some action:

" And he went up from there to Bethel. And he was going up in the highway. And little boys came out from the city and mocked him, and said to him, Go away, bald head! Go away, bald head! And he turned behind him and saw them, and declared them vile in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two boys to death."

YEAH ! you go God, score one for the little guy!

p. s comming up... our trip to thorpe park and house rugby!

Social Segregation

Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

Or we can change it slightly: "There is neither Townie nor Goth, there is neither Emo nor Sk8r, there is neither Chav nor Chavette: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Now thats brining the Bible into the 21st Century!)

I'm not a Chav, i'm not a Townie and nor am I a Goth. So what am i?

Thats the question i keep asking myself everyday (yes, i have a lonely life).
The problem is there seems to be so many social groups nowadays i don't know where i belong. (And lets not begin the discussion on what each one is)

I bet some of you ask yourself the same question. I seem to be lost, in a rift, maybe im just not keeping up with the times. Or maybe there should be a new group for me. Can call it 'Nutter'. But i hope your starting to see my point. In this world with Chav's, Townies, Goths i don't know where i belong. Everyone seems to be somewhere (well most). So someone tell me where i should be?

Also, whats the need for these now apparent social divides? What does it do. As far as I can see a Chav just wants to destroy, a Townie is just a wannabe Chav, a Goth wants every Chav to be his/her enemy, an Emo just wants to die (correct me if im wrong here folks, never too sure myself) and a Skater hates Chavs and.. well... Skates.

What happened to the days where a group of people could live together without being mortally divided? I see nothing wrong with people making various groups, it shows individuality, but when they turn on each other... can't help but think what have we become... and where am i in all this? The man in the middle, standing in the middle of the battlefield of the impending civil war.

Goodbye all.

Congrats and Councils!

Hello there you fine people- another action packed day!

Firstly and foremostly, a very big, boistrous and balloon filled birthday wishes to Sarah Hodgson and (my very own brother) Mike!! Sarah is 16 today (or is that 1?) and Mike is 19 now- my very best wishes to you both and hope you have a great day!

Yes good birthdays greetings to all. Im sure everyone enjoyed themselves especially Jess who seemed to have a whale of a time this morning. Hope both of you (Mike and Sarah) had a fantastic day. And Sarah i hope you enjoy all your gifts. Will have to give me a sample of your skills on that keyboard later! :D Oh and sorry about that card, they seem to charge per digit now! Actualy we wanted to add our very own, personalised, personal touch which i hope we achived. So enjoy! (oh and we looked for a badge but no such luck im afriad, will have to wait till next year)

On an more serious note, school council was another frenzy of debate and discussion today as Mark and I sat in for our very own head boy team [see the picture where we're hot on the argument. Note - Get new picture!] We began to get very close to the sad truth that the school makes a rather large profit on St Andrews Prom tickets *sigh* and also how any money that the school does receive goes on rugby shirts!

Isnt the picture of dennis just telling us off for sitting at the table? Either way all went well and i think we left our mark. And remember folks fancy dress day at St Andys on the 27 or 28th March so post here if you have any good ideas for costumes. Me and Matt have already got ours worked out so i hope everyonwe else joins in too!

Anywhos, over random ramblings aside, the main point are the birthdays! CONGRATUATIONS PEOPLE! Yess, has been a great day, and i hope all the special birthday people have enjyed it. And Sarah im afriad your gonna have to wait another year for this day to roll around again, but for now, savour the moment and have fun! Oh yes and congrats for turning one year 'wiser' (well thhey said that to me yet i notice no difference)

Your friend in time (see 'back to future' to get that one- great film!),
Im gonna go with the good old 'bye bye' or how about 'I'll be Back!' yeah, the latter will do.
Cya folks.

Weekenders

Ah what a show. (Well, could be debated).

Hello once again.

As intresting weekend? Yeah, most definatley. Saturday was just me and matt, no one else would come and play so we were left to amuse ourselves. Went for a spot of tennis on the local green. That was good fun; i think we can call it a draw too which is nice. Afterwards we went for some lunch which i will spare you the details of.

After all the food we made our way down to the old Fort on Shoreham place, we 'hanged' out for a while and chatted.

Sunday was even less intresting; mainly consisting of IT coursework for both of us. Knew we should have done something in those lessons, and thats me thinking they were for playing games. Oh well. We also played some badminton in Steyning against two of our mates who, we, of course, won, but it was a good game all round and id like to cogratulate the opposing team/players. And that about some up the weekend.

Yeah, i know, but come on the reason you came here was to read about our rather crippleing boring life so thats what your gonna get im afraid. Until of course our article on ticker tape comes along, which will be soon, very soon.

Cya all, and hope you all have a great week.
Bye form your lovin authors here.
