what with all the news about exam results being down graded, much to the annoyance of thousands, it made me wonder... Maybe my grades were too! Then again maybe mine were up-graded, so i wont make a fuss just yet.

But i also had the thought to re-take all of the exams i took back in school, after all i know so much more now.... I think!

Well two things today.

Firstly I'm not mad my house did wobble at about 12:45am and much to my surprise it was indeed because of an earth tremor. I had it down to a few variables, which were.... A bus, may sound strange to most peaople but to me it doesn't as i have six bus stops out side my flat. Second on my list was a bomb, well after all i live in London. Third was an Earthquake, although I slept through the last few the UK had. and the final explanation i came up with, and this is where i may have pushed the limits a little further, I put it down to the U.S. blowing up Iraq or visa versa. It turned out to be a simple earth tremor as i later found out when the girlfriend called at 1:30am worried that she would be crushed alive in her flat. I simply told her to sleep UNDER the bed, but she the pointed out that it may not help as she was on the second floor!

p.s. Pixie I was not mad it was an Earthquake!

Ok and secondly.... People who annoy me. Yes this list grows daily but I can do better that that I will name specific 'groups' of people. Namely old people who always stop dead in their tracks when your walking behind them, when they see you have nearly knocked them down, do they move? NO! Instead they look at you as if it's your fault. The other group of annoying people are parents who forget they have children. What i mean by this is they amble around oblivious to the fact that their child is causing untold chaos and when it is brought to their attention, usaully by people like me they say 'Oh naughty little child he/she always does that'. Always does it?!? well why don't you pay any attention damn you, it's not the childs fault you don't pay attention!

Ahhh I feel better now....

Well only me... Sorry i haven't been posting much of late it's not because I've given up on this page ( and i have been thinking that myself ). It's only down to the fact that i've actually been working!

Well here's a quick one for you China are going to execute 10 convicted criminals, now thats what i call putting others off. Rape what's that about 7 - 10 years over here after a lengthy court battle costing money and then a jail term again costing the tax payer more money. Chinas answer, a bullet in the head no one else dares to even think about commiting a crime! Cost = 1 bullet , a gun and a guy's finger for 0.032 of a second.

A thinking one today... well i was talking with a friend about how strange i think it is that a whole world can forget.

Before Christianity a huge population was of completely different beliefs. Take the Romans a massive civilization and there beliefs were very strong... then came Christianity and they just changed. Yes they apparently still worshiped their other gods in some form , but as a civilization were Christian and now the home of Catholosism.

And then look at the Seven wonders of the world, everyone one on earth knows of them, yet only one exists. Of the seven ( 4 of which were Greek ) The hanging Gardens of Babylon was one of Great human thinking and planning, that battled nature and produced great beauty in plants....BUT Know one knows where it actually is or was. Did everyone wake up one morning 700bc and think 'Nah bugga watering the flowers today' or 'Gardens? What gardens, i don't know what your talking about'. Seems very odd to me that a world just stopped doing something and changed.

Utter madness! I came across this at CNN, a couple who wish to name their new child after Osama Bin Laden..... WHY?
Apparently the local forces that be, are allowed to prevent names that would affect the child in later life. This sounds good in principle but whether it should be taken away from the parents as to what they can name their own child I'm not sure. Then again if you really think hard, how many times do you think this rule has been applied. Most parents with an IQ high enough to re-produce surely wouldn't dream of naming their child after someone with such bad publicity surrounding them.

Ok World summit again... and please don't take this too seriously!

I would guestimate that it cost the people who organised this, at least £10 million to organise such a huge event. I maybe wrong but hey I'm in a silly mood. Now this figure doesn't include the amount of money and revenue that will come of this event, Hotels, Food, transport, news reporting & the media etc. Now according to recent adverts by Oxfam and the like, I can feed one child for a month by donating just £2.

£10,000,000 divided by £2 = 5,000,000 children that could be fed in just an instant!

Well i hope they come up with a better way to spend money in this summit because I've just saved 5,000,000 in an instant.

Well after spending the weekend with my son, he gave my the latest thing to talk about on here by asking one simple question. A question that i just couldnt answer! - 'Why do you laugh when your tickled?'

Well ive looked around and not found much, a lot of research (for some reason) has gone into why you can't tickle yourself. Scientists think that tickling could have been one of the first ways early humans showed that they liked each other. Scientists call this "non-verbal communication", quite how they know this I really couldn't say. I've also seen that some people beleive that you can actually be tickled to death and in Medieval times this actually took place?!
