OK, today was the best school day for a very long time.

At break time outside, suddenly a police helicopter starts circling and descending. And yes, they shout to us on a megaphone! Running around along I witness the best example of the school coming together as over 1000 kids gather at the end of the playground. There’s a boy on the roof – and he’s got a gun!

Well, no, he didn’t really have a gun. But he was on the run from the police and broke onto school grounds, where someone lent him a school uniform top to ‘blend in’ (not the most intelligent idea to then climb on a roof then).

The police manage to evacuate us all inside where, amazingly, our class had one of the best views of the boy on the roof there is. Even the teacher was snapping photos on his camera phone. Electrolysis of aluminium lay forgotten. This was fun!

While the rather anti-climax ending (he was persuaded to walk off where he was taken into custody) was disappointing it still managed to be a brilliant day. Although I do question the mentality of us, when we believe someone has a gun our first response is “Run as close to him as we can! I wanna see!”

In a shameless rip off from Nic I’ve decided to list my favourite TV shows cause, you know, that’s what personal web sites are supposed to do!

So check it out, and then complain about my lack of originality.

Oh and I’m giving you (especially you, Coastguard) early warning – THERE ARE SOME NEW WINDOWS UPDATES. SO INSTALL NOW. (Well actually I don’t have any cause they’re Windows XP stuff, *sniff*)

OK, well better get back to my annoying History essay about Women and Students in the USA. Yipee…

A certain person, let’s just call them Mr. X, has decided to pretend they don’t care about school, or exams. Great, great. But why then walk around like a depressive screaming at people? I thought people who didn’t care where nice, easy-going free spirited hippies?

Screaming “I don’t care!” means, of course, that you do care. So please stop wasting our time.

In other news – we did our best piece of drama (and it was funny too!) in a looong time, and our regular teacher wasn’t there to see it. Great. Well if you’re reading this just give us a commendation each please, it was bloody brilliant and we actually got people to laugh for a change.

Finally – Anthony Ainley has died. Famous to Doctor Who fans as one of the actors who played ‘The Master’ you can read a tribute to him on Doctor Who’s leading fan site here. A sad day.

Blogger has a new look. How swanky

Exam results (end of year 10) are pouring in. I can tell you now I seem to do rather well in ICT, can’t think why.

And now a note to all readers – if you want to have your say on one of my blogs, just drop me a note using the Contact Me page. Come on, speak out!

Hope everyone’s Monday was bearable.

Following on from yesterday (which Nathan is rightly outraged by) Rush Limbaugh does not apologise. No, instead he continues.

Apparently torture is “good old American pornography.”

“Maybe the people who executed this pulled off a brilliant maneuver” he says.

And just to prove what a lunatic he is, he declares

“LIMBAUGH: I think a lot of the American culture is being feminized. I think the reaction to the stupid torture is an example of the feminization of this country.”

Read it here.

I mean for god’s sake, they care when Janet Jackson’s boobs are shown on TV, when Oprah talks about sex (shock horror!) on her talk show, but when this man PRAISES TORTURE on his radio show he is allowed to continue?

Oh what a surprise, turns out he’s best buddies with, ur George Bush.

Even more.

Isn’t saying “If there has been humiliation, it isn’t the fault of the West. It is Muslims’ fault.” inciting religious hatred?

Pleaassse – if anyone reading this is an American citizen, get rid of Bush at the next election! I don’t care who, just VOTE and for the world’s sake remove George W and his racist friends.
