Is now finished. Again. I’ve chosen an appropriate slogan for it as well: Unitam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant. (What do you mean, “what does it mean!?” If I can use Google, so can you.)
Like Lisa Simpson, I also find myself having to do something with the school yearbook, which will include lots of adorable photos of us all from Year 7. Time passes so quickly* it’s scary. Any emotion is tempered, though, by the fact I’ve got another two years at QPCS in the Sixth Form (if all goes to plan, of course!) as are most of my friends.
Also – I’m back on Rubery Village writing a few more columns \ rants, taking over from Matt Baller, for as long as Nic can put up with me.
*bet you hadn’t heard that before
The threat of climate change is serious, and there’s no going back.

Nic has discovered a wonderful thing about these new Conservative posters – they’re incredibly easy to parody. I have my own suggestions…
“Who the hell decided to contract out NHS cleaners in the first place?”
“I’m bored of economic stability – let’s have some excitement with a recession!”
“Where the f**k did I put my keys?”
Conservatives – are you thinking what we’re thinking?
(Some people think this is all just irrelevant negative campaigning using nonsensical slogans to make irrational points. They claim that it would be better to discuss the real issues that affect this country, and even the whole of humanity, rather than dirty mudslinging. No one is going to listen to them until they think up a logo though.)
Today I decided, in a mad fit of boredom that probably indicates some form of obsessive behaviour, to validate my site with the English language along with XHTML(!) So I’ve gone over everything with a fine toothed comb (well, really a spell-checker) trying to hunt down every last mistake. Including all my old blog posts. I’ve probably missed loads, but it’s a start at least.
How was I supposed to know it’s spelt Dormouse anyway!?!
P.S. I can guess exactly what will happen now – people will gleefully point out all the mistakes remaining.
P.P.S. I ran for 12mins 45 seconds around the school in PE today. Been doing the route for ages, but this is the first time I’ve timed myself. Check back next week to see if I’ve improved or not!
P.P.P.S. Nucleus needs an inbuilt spell-checker. I’ve gone paranoid and have copied and pasted this post into Word about 15 times now.
I am, apparently (UK Maths Challenge). But only so I can beat Hiten (oooh – first names on this blog!) which is stupid because I’ve got no chance of doing it. It was incredibly hard as always. I’m not competitive really. Promise started it. On the other hand, it’d make Eton more fun. Jason wasn’t involved at all, but he just wanted to be mentioned here. Jason Jason Jason.
The point of that very silly paragraph was two-fold.
a) To demonstrate why I try not to go into the gory details of school on this blog. Because it’s boring to read and makes no sense to anyone. I said try, because sometimes it’s unavoidable.
b) To sneak in the fact I’ve changed my mind about going to Eton without anyone noticing. I still hate, no no, loathe the place but I might as well go and get the T-Shirt.
