Just realised it was the Queens birthday a few days ago… lol. I don't care much for royals. They don't really do much apart from open things and read speaches written for them by other people. I guess they give the papers a bit to write about sometimes, but other than that they just waste states money. They get paid for doing pretty much nothing… We'd be much better without a royal family. Vive le Revolution!

Just watched this film, sooo funny all the way through, some classic quotes, well worth a watch, only thing is the ending isn't so god. The guy gets laid (well its bound to happen isnt it) and it goes all cheesy and they get married and all dance about singing its the age of the aquarius or something :S strange and too happy and soppy lol.
(Also just made a big damn tasty cheese and pickle sandwich 
)

Kind of a response to Sam's post Thursdays Exams, I also had similar exams last thursday, Physics in the morning and then Maths in the afternoon but only C4 rather than both because my C3 exam was earlier in the week. In my C4 exam though there was a volumes of revolution questions and I knew exactly how to do it, but then had to integrate 9sin^2(x), (thats 9 sine squared x) and i was screwed lol. Couldn't remember how to do it.
Alas I don't have a photo for you just yet, maybe later. Until then I really should be getting on with some revision for the 2 Biology modules I have to take on Tuesday, pfftsh, I only need C's this year

Wooa, haven't been here since the end of April, I guess lifes been busy and stuff. I kinda forgot about all this too. Hmm I wonder what photo I can put up, I will think about it and do it tomorrow, that will give me something to do to avoid working solidly for my Bio exams which are on Tuesday *yawns*.
On the topic of work, just when I should be looking for a summer job before I go to uni, i sent off a letter saying I'm leaving my current job. Oh well. I'm just bored of working, and I'm not very good at sales, I'm too nice to make people buy things they just dont really want.

At school at the moment, don't have a lesson right now so I thought I'd update this. Anywho I'm going to work later, joy, at least working mid-week is easier than Saturdays because there are less time-wasters. Oh well, I'm going to see the original musical version of War Of The Worlds played live at Wembley Arena tonight with a big orchestra and band. Should be pretty cool.
Heres todays photo. I actually really like this one. As always, please ask if you wish to use it.

Ok, the title of this post puts it nicely, basically what this post is about, is fat american kids. I know the media sometimes choose to portray things in ways to make us think in certain ways, but I have just read this short article from New Scientist and I believe it is very truthful:
"First we find out that Las Vegas emergency health care responders are having to "super-size" their stretchers and ambulance facilities, as many obese patients are now simply too big to be safely accommodated.
Now, it seems like it's the children's turn to become too big for safety devices. More than a quarter of a million US children ages 1 to 6 are heavier than the weight limits for standard child car-safety seats, a new study has found, and most are 3-year-olds who weigh more than 40 pounds.
Are anyone else's alarm bells ringing here?"
This is terrible, children are obese before they are even 6 years old?!… and a quarter of a million at that! Thats just insane…

Quick update on this terrible crisis. Aparrently the one who’s head was said to have swolloen to 3 times the normal size isn’t getting any better. Doctor’s have told his family that he is expected to die from heart, kidney and lung faliure. That really is terrible. Another of the patients is expected to be in a coma for up to/at least a year, im not sure which it is different sites seem to say different things. But either way, thats a long time. The other 4 who were given the drug seem to be showing apparent signes of marginal improvement. Lets just hope this isn’t that “calm before the storm” kind of effect where the situation suddenly becomes much worse for those 4 which are getting better. And in the case of the families of the 2 which aren’t getting any better, I feel so very sorry for them, it must be hard, can’t say I’m ever going to sign up for a clinical trial after this…
