My road today..
I finished my last post saying that I hope it wouldn’t snow or if it did that it wouldn’t close the college. Well guess what happened when I woke up late this morning? I looked at my phone for the time and panicked rushing outta bed and putting my college clothes on. I then peered outside the window to get blinded by the white stuff, plenty of the blinking white stuff. My parents confirmed that college wasn’t happening and I felt disappointed.
I went to look at Facebook quickly to see what people was up to with the snow and all. Turns out that they were planning to go to the Abby and make snowmans. I was debating joining them but when I stepped outside to take photos for this blog and twitter I thought otherwise. It was really cold and judging how pale they were in the photos, they felt it. They had a wonderful picture of the market square though with snow and it looked quite odd. It was neat how the council gritted the paths though and it turned out to made good sections for different people creations.
Like most of the week though, I was hanging around the house being bored. I was tempted to tidy it but I lacked the effort or the drive to do so. I had a lovely hot bath though and while the bath was running I repaired this sliding fabric door with matching white duck tape. You could call the repair I did was rather dodgy, neat is most certainly not a word to describe job I did.
Anyway, I really do not want it to snow tomorrow. Well I do as I don’t like Friday mornings but I hoping reverse thingy wotsit will work on the weather system like it did on the last post.

Something have been annoying me.. Seeing this blinking Fox FM land Rover stalking me everywhere I go. Last week on the way of doing some drying with my mom at the laundry, the car was outside what used to be Wiggys World. (I loved the go karts that was in there) And today when I was at Tesco, the blinking thing is outside the place. I think the whole idea of the car is to peskter young kids to start listening to the station so they grow up listening to this so called local station.
In the photo I took you can’t really see it but they have attached these stupid flags to the car which look really out of place on it and odd. i like seeing things neat and this just plainly annoys me..
The reason I say so call local station is because apart from the news and the breakfast slot on it, nearly everything else is sourced from its parent network which goes to all of the other so called local stations. The logo is just a template which looks more like the style of what the new Pepsi design looks like than a radio station. I prefer this one, I loved that fox and I was so miffed what they got rid of the poor thing. I blame them fox hunters.
I won’t be too upset when the station gets re-branded to a even more generic ‘Heart Oxford’ as all its proper identity got stripped ages ago which is sad. Saying that I am not a proper expert of Fox FM as my hate of it content has meant that i heavn’t really listened to it much unless its been on in a mates car. I rather opt to KUBE radio as I can keep up to date all stuff Keele, and when on the move Jack FM, sometimes Oxford 107.9 but mostly national BBC Radio 1.

The picture is a view out of the windows at the grotty Banbury station as I recently went there to wave goodbye to my sister as she returns to Stoke. I was having a laugh with my Mum on the way out of the station about this advert saying I won’t pay the fare as the fine is £20 (much cheaper than the fare to Stoke) when a member of staff at the station overheard and took it too seriously. I never walked that fast to get out of a station before…
My ICT teacher has really pissed me off as I was wanting to know what I needed to do to finish my folder off weeks before school finished and I even asked him for a check list but he couldn’t be bothered to find out for me. So that have meant that I had to go into school on a day couple of weeks ago which was a day without exams. You would think that would be the last of this nightmare. Well I was wrong thinking that it was all done, when I had a call from him yesterday saying that I haven’t done the Record of Evidence. I couldn’t give a dam really as it only him with a problem if ASDAN looks at my folder and sees that I don’t have it. It only that he wants me to cover up the fact that nearly all everybody haven’t done the blinking coursework and wants to hide this fact by showing them selected folders of the few which have. I don’t give a hoot about anything ASDAN related as my collage doesn’t take it. I be more bothered if this was GCSE ICT which I wanted to do in the first place…
My bedroom feels much more higher up from the ground every day as I can’t be arsed to tidy it. It’s dangerous as I nearly fell over getting out of the bedroom today meaning that I will probably tidy that up tomorrow. I nearly chucked up yesterday as I was cleaning my kitchen up when I found a seal food tub. I couldn’t work out what was inside it, so I badly decided to open the thing up when suddenly this green mist of dust came flying out and where I discovered this really gone off piece of bread in the middle of the tub. It was really rank! On the subject of tidying, I really hate it how my parents just dump all the tidying and washing on me.. I wish that other people in the house would help me.
I’m excited that I’m planning to do some video blogging soon. The main problem is that I want to have a room that I won’t be embarrassed to show everybody on places like YouTube so I will either have to shove lots of posters on my wall or something as I’m half way of repainting the bit under my window ledge but I never got to finish doing it.

There is one week of term left now until we break up for Christmas. Or one week until I will be drinking Strongbow as a regular thing..
On Friday, a dodgy driven VW car got followed by the police from Oxford, when it arrived into Didcot. This is when the man got out of the car with a gun and ran off. The police never see him since.. When I left the school on that day, I thought it would be like a Action movie outside as I was watching one in the classroom when the school went into lockdown.
I thought I would hearing someone shouting ‘Duck!’ running fast with everything be hide you exploding as you dive down, but that didn’t really happen. All that really happened is that there was lots of police with yellow jackets on the streets.
The only exciting thing was the stupid and unbelievable rumours like a few of the coppers getting killed or that the girls at DGS that was evacuated ‘told to go to their homes’, were going to their boyfriends entering the area that was meant to be closed!
