As a dedication to all those with whom I have spent my past 6 free periods with searching for him, I have the answer:

Ignorance. Ignorance and nothing more. There’s an old bloke who often comes into the pet shop and talks about various random things, “the history boys”, “william hague”.. just generally random things.

This week he came in with his wife, grabbed his usual bags of bird seed and came to the counter “What are you doing now then? University?” “No, no, college, first year” “oh! What studying?” “Err (listed through) and computing” “Computers?! Do you remember back in 1895″ Oddly not. At this point Pauline was giving him funny looks from behind “All those typewriters? They were the rage, little women in offices tap-tap-tapping on their keyboards.. Where’ve they gone? Hmm? Nah, Computers? You want to get out of them! They’re going nowhere, just like the typewriters” and he walked out the shop.

WHAT?! You ignorant twat! You come into essentially MY HOME with your gerontophilic wife (clearly a sugar babe set-up you blind twat!) and tell me what I’ll be doing for the next two years, what I’ve done for the past 5 years is all in vain! How dare you?! Tosser.

I came here to say something I thought might be half decent but got carried away getting annoyed by some advert about coming for some sort of tourist fest in florida next year.. God.. why do people go for those holidays? Cheap, packaged, meaningless, identicle little trips to see the twice hourly show every other ragtag and bobtail gets to see on their “unique” trip to florida. To cap it off, they put some half-wit with a dumbed down American accent using words and phrases that should never appear in a serious advert “oh”, “where dreams come true”, “truely unique”.

GAH!

Halil İbrahim requested something similar to the youtube script but for metacafe, here it is, pretty much the youtube code but less is needed:

Right, occurred to me I hadn't mentioned this and it is a pretty large chunk of what I'm working for at the moment. In 2010, I'm aiming to go on a gap year (5 months..) to the Madagascan wilderness on a conservation project, resulting in an A Level and a BTEC :O. The trip involves living in various conditions from desert scenes to tropical rainforest, all the while watching the Fauna and Flora, snaring various birds, snakes, lemurs, lizards .etc. Even the Plated Lizard (similar to the one I have in my room) is native to Madagascar. Perhaps one of the most supprising points is you can take a square of any part of the rainforest and discover + name your own species of insect! Should be fun indeed.

So yes, 20 weeks in the wilderness will result in considerable neglect to everything I've been working online. Sadly, however, I feel this is bound to happen anyway; I've a lot on my plate over the next few years, what with school, working towards Madagascar and hopefully getting on to some kind of uni course. It seems likely that I'll find less and less time for meaningless projects like TN.co.uk.

Just been going over some of the old dribble I've written here over the years and I honeslty am worried I've some form of dyslexia or something..

It's been a while, I know. There's been one hell of a lot going on. I've moved house and now have an hour walk home from school (I hope to put one of those fun sped up videos on youtube of it, it's very pretty. I refuse to get the bus so I'm now missing about an hour a day although I'll give cycling a go sometime. I'm now living in the village of Brompton-On-Swale, full of chavs, druggies but thankfully near some pretty secluded, quiet, pretty spots (most of which I pass on my walk home). Life isn't as bad as I'd expected it to be here :P. Move went without much trouble, most annoying part was lack of internet access before my trip to V Fest, not good when you're advertising on yourself for people and meeting someone on the internet there.

V Fest was great fun, my V-Shirt was a success and I was caught on camera wearing it in the V Mobile Union tent I blagged myself into (being an Orange user, not V Mobile..). Saw one hell of a lot of bands, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, The Killers and Mumm-ra being probably the best, the lead singer from Mumm-Ra even put a happy meal toy I'd bought from Chelmsford McDonals for Simon. Good fun! We went down on the bus, were on the first shuttlebus there and back! Arrived back in London at about 7.30AM on Monday and spent the day wondering around, visiting the national history museum .etc - pretty much a repeat of my trip to see The Who with Dan. Whole trip was supprisingly successful, Saunder's was pretty much the only failure!

I worked a lot during the holidays at the pet shop, sadly the coast to coast was cancelled due to a late summer (now) and life guarding was cancelled due to a lack of interest. Pretty frustrating there. Now it's back to school. I got in to Richmond 6th Form to do all the subjects I wanted to but unfortunately I chose Government and Politics which I'm really regretting. It's a big jump from GCSE but now I'm doing subjects I actually want to (bar Gov&Pol) it's a lot more fun and easy. Plus teachers are now much more laid back.

I bought a laptop on Saturday, pretty swanky but I'm not using it right now. And err.. that's about it, 2 months into a few short paragraphs..how depressing.
