So I have spent a week on the island… after returning home for the holidays… and, as usual… found nothing to do like normal!! So I’m just trying to survive down here!
So I thought I was going to do some of my assignments etc while I was down here, and guess what… nothing got done… but I did purchase two new folders in which to organise some work… very much needed they were!!
As we all noticed Christmas fell over on a Friday… and this was terrible for my social meetings for this holiday… so far non existent!! And it is the same story with most of my chums!! Haha!! So what did you get for Christmas?? Me personally… loada cash which is always welcome!! And some socks!! Can never have too many of them… after all at lease one disappears and neigh returns!!

Snow week = No snow Bristol
So as I’m sure we’ve all noticed Christmas is around the corner! And I’m all ready to track Santa with the NORAD tracking thingamabob. On the plus side this snow that has happened in the last few days makes it seem ever closer!! But all the snow managed to miss BRISTOL! I mean it managed to hit Cheltenham and Gloucester but not Bristol!!
And so I travel back to the Isle of Wight tomorrow for the not so merry Christmas break (so much work to do!) and new years. So I booked my ferry ticket last week!! For the wholesome price of £19, but this means catching the 9pm sailing compared with paying an extra £10 for the earlier hour’s sailing. I chose this because I am a student and therefore SKINT!
Today I have been told that I should have done my Christmas shopping by now, but last minute is always the best way!! Anyhoo I also had some amazing burgers from that butchers in Bishopston (opposite the rising sun) every time I go there they are amazing!! You should go!! And that is a fact!
So I’ve been moaning about getting a new phone for the past few months and have finally decided to get one… in the new decade and if something else comes my way… otherwise I’ll still be living off my brick of a phone! I also can’t decided which phone to get, the Apple I-phone, or the HTC Hero (G2) or a Blackberry. From looking at the contracts of these, and the various service providers I have noticed how confusing these get and that they are STUPID and hide things!! E.g. unlimited data is not unlimited! Is 500mb enough for a month??
I give up!

The night was still young-ish… PLACEMENT
Sorry I haven’t posted in here in a while… but that doesn’t matter that much as not many people read this blog… so lonely… moving on…
Finally with the UWE 3’s defeating the UWE4’s in the much anticipated home derby match of the season, we had much to discuss!!
Firstly this was the first time in 2ish years the UWE 3’s triumphed over the UWE 4’s
Secondly we had much to discuss about my umpiring abilities from the match previous to our own.
Thirdly the number 15 from Winchester uni
Fourthly the relating to another match report the thong girl from Core 24, kindly written by a Mr Goodarzi
Fifthly the discussion of filth!!
Sixth, who was going to be captain of the Wednesday and Saturday side next year.
Seventh, the man of the match and the dick of the day.
And finally PLACEMENT!
So, with the prospect of ESPN 8 “The Ocho” coming to watch and report our truly amazing display of hockey, we decided as a team that as a team this was a must win match otherwise it was humiliation for the rest of our lives. And we won with a rather dazzling display of movement and goal scoring. Final score… 5-2.
With the rest of the hockey club going to the Christmas dinner on some place on Whiteladies road, the UWE 3’s decided to follow on from the previous week, their new tradition of having a curry and a beer at the riser for the amazing price of £3.75.
From having our most truly deserved meal we went on to discuss the topics mentioned.
1, how sweet victory felt after winning against the 4’s
2, I was a fool because I missed a big call…. A penalty flick because someone stopped the ball on the goal line with a “blatant” foot…. However because one cannot see, one cannot call… and thus the match went on…
3, following on from the number 11 of Glamorgan uni who was “amazing” and stew cummed because of his talent, we went on to the discussion of number 15 of Winchester uni hockey girls…. And how… um… large she was… and because she must have been filth in bed…
4, the thong girl, many a discussion happened about this person, with the mentions of purvey, martin, and his chum Andy…. And relating to a match report which can be found elsewhere. We went on to discuss who this fine person could have been… and how we could find out her name, and her number, and any other information about this person. With all these discussions at hand, our captain… cooper realised that his house mate worked within the establishment of Core 24, and with this fact in mind…. Many a questions were sent to mentioned housemate. And ended up facebook stalking her and other people…
5, from the discussion of the thong girl, we moved on to the discussion of filth, and how many a player within the team had a hidden girlfriend who looked absolutely filthy…. And this moved on to the discussion of one Saturday player, sisters and mum and how filthy they all looked!
6, from discovering that our team had mainly seniors who were on their final year, we moved on to the discussion of who could possibly be captain next year. One conclusion was this boy who was on international duty (http://domcovkid.blogspot.com) otherwise some fresher might have to take up the reigns for the team.
7, with all these discussions fresh in our minds we decided to cast our votes for the man of the match and dick of the day. Somehow I featured heavily in both of these, and almost got both of them bar from one vote… main reason… my umpiring, and the mention of PLACEMENT randomly within a conversation, and not chest-ing the ball this match. Anyhow. The winner of MoM was New Nick, for being truly amazing at his left back role!! And the DoD was wonderfully Captain cooper, for missing numerous amazing chances to score within last 5 minutes of the match!
To finish of the day, we decided to rejoin the rest of the club by heading to the crappy lounge…..
So… laters….

The weekend of the pub
The lovely weekend trip to Brixham to do some lovely British sea diving was not all that was expected to be.
Overall we spent more time in the pub than in the sea, we learnt some sea shanties off some locals, almost got beaten up by some locals and Bath Uni made a fool of themselves!! Haha.
Friday: a nice trip all the way around Bristol to pick people up and equipment from the dive shop as certain people forgot to hire out some equipment. We also met a nice big traffic jam on the M5 this was fun!! 30-40mins talking about what car was nice!!
Saturday: I gotta say. The lovely British weather was as lovely as ever!! Had a not so nice in the cold water and didn't really see anything but hey… who cares about that!! And then spent the rest of the day watching top gear on Dave and friends and scrubs on e4. And then the lovely pub from 7:30 oh, and Bath Uni managed to lock themselves out of their trailer by snapping the key in one of the two locks!! Haha!!
Sunday: = miserable day! Dives got called off… sad times!! No visibility apparently. So just watch some tv… and then finally head off home!! O well!!
All in all… not so fun…

High winds and high losses…
The day of the stormy weekend, where we had a match against the team who was at the top of our league.
First of all I would like to point out that we lost, and this was very disappointing!
And second of all our midfield is all but inexistent.
And thirdly, and this is my own opinion and no one else’s on the team. The new guys, think too much of themselves!! And I don’t like them!!
So yes we started off well, sort of played at a team, me… shouting lots of instructions, and the majority of these being unheard.
After another half time talk, which involved lots of mentioning of “pass the ball!” we went on the pitch, and all of this was forgotten within the first five minutes… although we scored an equalizer.
Soon after, the midfield disappeared, and this was the point where we lost the match!! All my shouting’s which continued through the match… (I have a sore throat at this point) was mainly unheard…. But who cares eh, as long as we lose the match its all good right??
Oh well, enough rambling… laters

“Day of Rest”
Hello all you bloggers,
So after a fun filled day yesterday which involved; a meeting for my dissertation, making £30, and spending it on a new game of Call of Duty, and a possible case of swine flu.
So the meeting for my dissertation… so my topic is managing cultures within a project. Do any of you understand this? Any helpful ideas please leave a comment. Anyhoo, my tutor told me that I should be reading 20-30 journals things by next month.
The £30 was made by spending 3hrs on a hockey pitch and umpiring 2 matches!! That was fun!! The first match was UWE 3 ladies Vs glos Uni, final score 1-0 win to UWE!! And the second match was UWE 4 mens Vs Plymouth uni and that score was a 10-0 Loss...
The final match I played in… and it was against Bath Spa uni… and it finished in a boring draw…. I got hobbled off the pitch cause i was involved in a “accidental” foul…
Anyhoo to cheer myself up I purchased the new call of duty for the bargain price of £26!! Its good that’s all I can say!!
And well…while I write this I think I might have a possible case of swine flu…. And I feel crap atm… so does anyone know what happens if you have this weird pig flu?? O well off to the pharmacy to get myself a temperature thing….

Christmas already?!
So this week I have noticed that my uni or the café at uni thinks that it’s Christmas already!! What does everyone think of these tacky 80s decorations??
While I type this I expect many of you random people in the UK will be watching X-Factor and wishing that the annoying twins gets killed off the show!! Well I certainly do!!
Anyways in other news… my not so wise wisdom tooth… the top right one is coming out slowly and painfully… and have had toothache for the last couple of days!! So Ibuprofen is a must!! And bonjela!! Lol!!
Also today I spent the day (well….most of the day) in the library, and learnt how to spell library (Libary) shockingly lol!! I tried to do lots of work or I planned to and drastically FAILED… sad times.
And in other news… on Wednesday I will be umpiring two hockey match’s and then playing one hockey match at the end… it’s going to be a long day…. But I get £30!! Woop woop!! MONEY!! Lol
Anyways to the world of bloggers laters, and hope things are good!!

The Curse of The B-Block HOBO
Ok,
So,
Would you all like an explanation of the “B-Block hobo?” (Picture included. As you can see hes on youtube!!)
It all started last year, at the start my second year of uni. (I’m now a third year… cause I missed out on getting a placement… sad times.) Me and my friends noticed this guy sitting in the corner of the computer room constantly watching You-Tube videos, and other random TV programs online. Now since it was the start of the year we didn't think much of this as there was many a computer spare!!
As time went on, and the assignments deadlines drew ever closer, as a group we all went into the computer room to do work on numerous occasions at various hours during the days and nights. AND thus we noticed the hobo still transfixed by the square thing that sits in front of him!!
During a very late night working in the computer room one time, where not a sound was made not even by a mouse. The occasional very loud snore was heard from the corner. (well every two seconds as mentioned by Conie.) Even when the security man came round checking the students ID’s, he was left alone, as the saying goes 'let sleeping dogs lie.'
Anyway long story short, we tried to kick him off the computer once because everyone was doing work and he was the only one watching videos on You-Tube. And guess what….. he said that HE WAS DOING WORK!! Blatantly not!!
He is and I guess will always live in the corner of that particular computer room for eternity and ever more!!

Daily blog, or not to daily blog?
How’s things going??
So, I've been told that a blog is meant to be a daily thing, but this makes me feel that I would just be mentioning the same things over and over again?? And what is the point in this?!?
So I'm going to ask all of you people, and hopefully someone will comment... Should I do a daily blog cause that’s meant to be the "point" of a blog.
Well, I guess that I should mention what I've been up to today!!
So today.... what did I get up to... well I watched the final F1 race of the 2009 season! And congrats to young Vettel who got the win, and unlucky to Hamilton who had to retire from the race. My personal thoughts of the new yas marinas circuit.... its nice... shiny and new.... but... the race was a little bit boring... I mean... not many over takes... BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!
Anyways the other things that I did during this day... well did me mention it rained... then it stopped... and then it rained even more! And then the washing up had to be done.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Yesterday that our hockey team had a friendly match against some random team…. And they travelled a long distance just to play a game…. To which they lost 15-0!! I honestly felt sorry for these guys!! Travelling most of the day to lose massively!! What a waste of time lol!! Well I guess that the game for them could be classed as a “learning experience”
Well I'm sure that this blog could have been more interesting... but it’s only asking one question that I would like answered....
Cheers.

Learning to blog - fail
Hello all, so what’s this blogging malarkey about?
So yes I’m new to the world of blogging, first of all I’m very sorry but I have a tendency to waffle.... I can tweet on the twitter thing, that is quite simple and amazing how simple it is to use. I am surprised at how it’s like one of those marmite things, "you love it, or you hate it"
So, it’s been about a month since uni has re-started, (yes I am a typical poor student who lives off beans.) Now since I’ve been back in Bristol I’ve met my new housemate, who is in fact a GIRL!! From Northern Ireland!! And studying a very clever subject... (Law.) I've again re-joined Bristol-UWE hockey club for another year, and I’m also their club secretary... fun times... and I’ve joined the UWE hockey team as well... they’re not as fun, but at least it means I can play matches against other uni's. I've also joined the sub aqua club, where I get to learn how to scuba dive!! One of the things I’ve always wanted to do!!! And to all you students... (It’s a cheap way to get a qualification) much cheaper than PADI. And my student loan has all but disappeared!! It’s just not enough in this day and age!!
At this current moment while I am typing my other housemate who is a complete utter BUM!! Is washing his clothes... and the washing machine is shaking the whole house!! And is very noisy!!
Has anyone else noticed that its Halloween tomorrow?? Now usually our house never does anything for this "holiday" unless it involves pyrotechnics, but since the girly has arrived within the household at 132... We have carved a pumpkin (will post a picture up in a mo..) and had a moviethon which involved zombies, werewolves, and vampires.... interesting how one housemate can change the attitude of the house.
Anyway I think that this is all I’m going to write at this moment in time... and I hope that I can think of more interesting things to talk about next time....
