Proudly flying the English Flag..Thats if they let us

holmsey — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:42:18 +0000

Yet again another rant seems like endless rants but College is really doing my head in at the moment. So its the 23rd of April (writing in 24th now) and its St Georges Day so of course England is celebrating by flying its flags and colours. But not at college no, people had their flags taken off them as they deemed it ‘racist’. Im sorry but how is carrying around a Flag of OUR country ENGLAND racist? The College and Government are seriously messed up, Asians etc can get days off work to go to marches to show off their cultures, celebrate all different things yet for one day in the year ENGLISH people cannot fly their OWN flag? That is fucking ridiculous.

Apart from that the day was really good.. Finished media after 30 minutes when we hit the pub for St G’s day kareoke !!! Me, Danny and Pugh sang Bohemian Rapsody and All these things that Ive done. Was really good fun Bye for now xxx

C+?? I think not..

holmsey — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:51:15 +0000

This is one of the angriest rants I will probably ever make on here so get ready. Most of you can guess who it will be about already the good old Pushpa Bansal. Today after marking our coursework she gave the whole class back their temporary grades before moderation and in truth I was ecpecting a high B or A grade yet I was told I had a high C. I seem quite calm typing this but I am absolutely fuming and have so much rage against this woman. Now saying that I came to college with a high grade A in ICT at GCSE and a grade B in Business and communication Systems how the hell have I ended up getting a flaming C+? Quite simply its due to a number of facts not caused by myself but the lack of effort in the teaching of ICT at the college solely to blame Pushpa. One possibility is that, throughout the creation of the coursework we got constant feedback from herself on how to improve such as comment more on software capabilities etc which myself and Sarah D completed (she also got a C+ and is one of the smartest in the class). I constantly updated and ‘improved’ my coursework to her standards of expectancy. Another possibility is that what she is teaching us the ‘style’ and ‘correct’ way to answer AS/A level ICT exams is simply wrong, I have a vast knowledge of ICT but it depends on the context and style on how you answer in exams or coursework. I was also relying on doing well on the coursework to boost my grade up as I have to do a resit in the course as I got yet again a C in my exams which yet again I do blame her as I wrote in her ‘style’ thats ‘needed’ in the AS course. Now I cannot do this and I find myself in a dillema as what to do… Do I write in the style I feel as appropriate or in her ‘style’ which did not work first time round? Another factor to blame is her poor time managment, quoted from pushpa ‘time management is essential in the ICT industry’ so why did she give us about 1 lesson and little help on what to write on my Evaluation for the coursework that was ‘poor and let me down’.

Going to speak to her and my form tutor over the next two days to see if someone else can mark my coursework independantly to see what is at fault. Also to possibly complain about her teaching as I dont feel she is doing her job as a learning provider as she has made myself and many others less capable in the ICT sense of exams and coursework. This has really disheartened me as I know I can do personally better but my learning has been hindered by this woman.

Rant over.. For today atleast.

Nothing short of Brilliant!

holmsey — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:25:08 +0000

So another venture to the Printworks to see a Spanish subtitled horror film and again it was BRILLIANT. ‘[rec]‘ was the title, it was brilliantly made through the eyes of a camera man called Pablo with a TV presenter reporting from inside this quarantined house. You should go see it if your local cinema shows it but be warned it is an 18 for a reason.. Yes I did get it, it wasnt hard? But damn it was so scary and gory, really worth paying for.

Now time for a rant after I’ve watched Match of The Day

First week back…What a BLAG!

holmsey — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:08:05 +0000

Two weeks off.. I always knew the first week back would be a killer but this is ridiculous. Monday I was a bit tired but had a lie in so that was ok, Tuesday half day normally brilliant but i was tired somehow? Wednesday this is when it kicked in, still tired from the night before this day took so long to pass by. Thursday now and this morning I got up and I felt pretty good thinking FINALLY I have got over the worst of it but no.

Up at 7.40 what a piss take. First lesson started at 9. Then Another Lesson, then to take the piss at dinner I had a ‘course review’ where I was offered ‘free food’ which looks like something a starving african baby would turn down so it had been 24 hours since I had last eaten.. Great.. Then two more fucking boring shit lessons and finally got home at 5.30 to make tea… What a day? Brilliant I think not. To top it off it was parents evening, luckily it went good. Apart from one certain ethnic woman… Yes you guessed it.. the amazingly shit Pushpa Bansil. Moaning on about how I give short answers when she specifically said to the whole class ‘give short clear answers quickly’ everyone gives 2 word answers I do the same and she has a bitch? No wonder I fall asleep in her class.

Friday tomorrow then I get to look forward to the weekend if I actually make it, college takes the utter piss.

A big shout out to the amazing Jenny who is keeping me going <33 x

RANT OVER.

Friday & The Orphanage

holmsey — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 01:58:30 +0000

So Jimmy P invites me to go see this film ‘The Orphanage’ and im not usually a viewer of the horror genre… or of many films in that fact (what do i do with my time; i dont know?) Anyway so I went with Jimmy P, Niall, Jacob, Simon, Phil, Birdy and some other guy I dont know but who seemed cool. And I have to say it is one of the best films I have seen for ages but it is the fucking scariest thing ive ever seen… im only posting now at 10 to 3 in the morning as i keep hearing noises and think its bag head comming to get me. But seriously go and see this film it is brilliant and its in Spanish! Si!

Also, was gonna go to the abbey as Jacobs friend told us there was the opening party with half price drinks! I knew it was too good to be true so we had some greesy food and then came home. Well we tried to anyway… Jimmy P had posted his keys through the letterbox thnking his mum would be back before him. Was she? No. So we had to try and break into his house through the letterbox using sticks… safe to say your houses are safe from me.

College soon Best actually start some work tomorrow! Bye x

France vs England

holmsey — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:18:51 +0000

So its another England friendly with Capello’s second game in charge, playing:

                    James
Brown, Terry, Ferdinand, A.Cole
           Hargreaves, Barry
      Beckham, Garrard, J.Cole
                   Rooney

which in my books is a wrong formation as Rooney is not scoring alot at the moment and needs a partner to link up with which means the other three players need to support but Beckham has a low fitness level and cannot support easily. The final score is 1 – 0 to France, I mean we didnt really expect to win it as we haven’t beaten France in over 59 years. Either way England put in a dissapointing performance showing they are only bothered about the League with all Terry, Rooney, Cole and Brown going off at half time

14 Year olds drinking, having sex and taking drugs. WTF?

holmsey — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:35:50 +0000

So heres the deal.. I was flicking through the box as you do and stopped at the news to see what was going in when a report comes on about how a group of 14 – 16 year olds rented out a hall and they were drinking, having underage sex and taking drugs. I mean what the fuck is going on with the chav side (the magoritory of the country)? Ok if your 16 your legally allowed to have sex thats fine but why do it in a hall with loads of people there what the fuck? This links to what the government is trying to do to stop Anti Social behaviour… There’s all these youth clubs to try and get kids off the streets yet now they tend to aim for younger people thus forcing more teenagers onto the street? I used to go to the local youth club for a white until I was told I couldnt go anymore as I was too old and the age group was being lowered. Why do 10 year olds need to go to a youth club to get them off the streets? Surely they can be inside playing games with their parents? But even so the parents don’t want anything to do with their 10 year old kids they just chuck them out on the streets for other people to deal with. But they are not out on the streets late in the night drinking themselves into a coma. Where as the teens that are being pushed out are doing so. Its absolutely stupid. Also another factor of this is the lifestyles and surroundings that these stupid people grow up in. Im 16 and go to college, I’m almost 17 and can almost start driving and at College they say if you act as an adult then you will be treated as an adult, fair enough and that is the case but these little shits expect to get away with everything however it is not just themselves to blame. It’s the stigma that once they hear the word ‘alcohol’ they link it with the concept of being rat arsed, from personal experience I go out to the pub every few Fridays and have a few pints but don’t get so rat arsed and cause mayhem on the streets, as I can respect people want peace and to sleep at 2am in the morning when there all kicking off and smashing bus shelters down the road. This countrys going to pot, the government needs to organise things for 14 – 17 year olds to do as there is shit all to do and they feel like the only place they cant have to their own is the streets….

The end of rambling

holmsey — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:32:01 +0000

First post from coming back…College

holmsey — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:58:31 +0000

So yeah as I said in my previous blog im now at college and having a brilliant time.
Courses that Im studying at the moment:

Media – One of my faviroute lessons at the moment, I have two teachers Bali for written work and Fiona for production. At the start of the year I only knew Stefan from school but have got to know a few people through my production group and making friends and its always a great laugh of a lesson with Bali telling us funny stories about herself and this mysterious IT teacher called Fessal?? Fiona is alright aswell I guess it looks like shes on steroids with huge muscles and a bulging blood shot eye but shes a good tutor and will probably have her next year for written work as im carrying on the subject.

English – What can I say about English? EVERYTHING happens in this lesson its brilliant. From day one when we were put into our groups we bonded and made a great team, we are DBN’s victims. DBN is our teacher Debbie Brennan who wears her pants like Simon Cowell but is a great laugh and makes the lesson much more enjoyable. So the people in our group:
Trish aka PLAN T - Haha what a little G she is, she holds the group together through thick and thin between Jawain and Arron and sends me tunes on msn all night. What a ledge.
Jack aka The Slag – Haha funny as fuck with his random stories of being beaten up by dykes and the quick transitions from one girl to another with one of his ex’s being across from our table.
Jawain aka Picasso – ‘I got an A* in art me’ What a legend this guy is, he may not be one of the smartest folk around but he has the heart of gold even though he can throw a punch like Mohammed Ali (Sponge would know more about that).
Finally…Sponge aka The Feeler – Why the feeler? I hear you ask. Quite bluntly I will tell you that he stroked Debbies tit. ‘MMM SEXAY’ as she would say and from ever on that has been him. He calls Trish depressed and is quite moody at times but still makes up the group.

Next, ICT – Well well well here we come to one of the most topsy tervy lessons of them all. Firstly the tutor – Pushpa Bansil. Yes you guessed where she came from. Fucking Huddersfield or Pakistan I cant remember which? She can hardly speak a word of English and none of us can understand her so we just zone out. I could rant about her all day so I will keep it for future blogs.. Then we have Danny, I’ll talk about him more below so keep a look out. The two Sarah’s, Laura (from my old school) and Michael Dunn are the rest of the people in ICT. We also have Mohammed (one of the 50 in college) who is an unsociable fuck who says he’s going to bomb Michaels house..It wouldnt surprise me at all..

Finally the last and worse lesson – Accounting. One part of its really good and a laugh with Jim Barr from the good land of Ireland, hes funny as fuck ‘Hello ladies and gentlemen and Arslan’ – Always taking the piss out of the Asians but never admitting hes as racist as me ;] Then we have the other half…Ushma yes you gussed it my second Asian tutor who has OCD (For you people that dont know what it is basically she has to have everything perfect in her mind so we use this to get at her by moving the tables into a wonky fashion and uneven rows so she has a massive stress) She cant teach and really is just a wanker basically. That’s why im dropping this subject.

So thats my lessons that I’m currently studying, now a few people that I hang around with:

Danny – I told you i’ll come back to him as theres alot to say about this hillarious person. First of all let me say once you put it past all the drugs and shit hes taking this guy is one of the best friends you could ever ask for. He’s in my IT and English class aswell as in my Tutor group with the legendary Andrew Preston (more on him later). Yeah Danny is funny as anything from snorting coke in class through his scanned personal bus day savers and getting me moved to him smoking a spliff behind the swimming baths whilst Pushpa was dieing at home for a week, this guy is a true friend and would do anything for his friends. That’s all I need to say about him really he really is an amazing guy and ill miss him from IT next year..

Then theres all the guys from school that I hang around with – Jimmy P, Niall, Marc, Simon and Phil. One of the latest editions to the gang is Jonny who is in my form and always seems to have PE as his first lesson of the day and then surprisingly never has anything else? Crazy man anway he is a legend.

So form and Andy P, this man at first seemed like an absolute creep asking for our mobile numbers, telling us his number, myspace, and internet site and his amazing interest in giving blood. But beyond all that he is a brilliant guy who will look out for his tutor group and quite often says after someone is being bullied etc that he will go and get them personally. What a legend.

Right I think this blog pretty much wraps up college as its almost 1000 words long so I best bring it to a close really. Ill post some funny stories of whats happened at college this year and future updates. One final message as its easter I thought I would finish this post with a joke.

What did Jesus say to his disciples when he was nailed to the cross?

Don’t touch my fucking easter eggs you bastards I’ll be back on Monday
