London EyeYesterday I had a fantastic and gob smacking awesome time with my media group in London. It took along time to get to South Bank, London from Oxford though. On the coach journey in the way in, James pissed off a white van man by taking a photo of him without turning the flash off, but as the traffic hardly moves fast in London.. He got out and started banging the coach window. It felt like something out of The Inbetweeners. I found it funny for some reason.

Once we arrived to the South Bank, we had a hour to spare which mainly was spent taking photos and drinking soft drinks at the bar. It was the first place I found which serves eggy bread. I was so tempted to order it but I didn’t have anytime to spare. I love to have a life style that involved going out to these places regularly.

When we arrived at the studios, there was guys with headphones with a mic. I had laugh with them when a posh sliver car nearly ran me over. Once we checked in, it was a case on waiting outside in a line right against the studio building. After half an hour outside, we got in. I didn’t think that we would walk though different sets but we did where one of them had the car from ‘Back from the Future’.

GaffitiBehind the Loose Women set had loads of duck tape to repair it as got wore out after the much usage it gets. I didn’t know how much lights that are involved for shows. It makes the set looks really different without the lights on. It was really good show and I really enjoyed doing the clapping etc. During one of the breaks when they do Q&As, somebody wanted to steal a mug. So when the show finished, a runner quickly carried the mugs away in a basket. BTW, they don’t drink tea or coffee, they drink bottle water.

The rest of the day was good aswell. Walked right next to the London Eye to get a McDonalds. The express line was really fast aswell. I was surprised how far down you have to walk to get to the toilets though. The rest of the day was mainly buying fast food. lol

Anyway, I need to do gym.

Category Best of.., Disneyland Paris

Waking up at 4am is more easy than I thought it would of been. I somehow managed to get sleep early last night which meant that I have had the same amount of sleep that I normally have. Still I thought I would oversleep the alarm as I normally get up at 10amish.

I was one of the first people at the meeting point at the college. Richard and Bradley beated me though. Richard was in the dry as it was raining but it took me afew moments to realize where he was. Everyone soon followed after me. The A level people wasn’t that social and didn’t mix with the us much. The coach arrived and I was the first person the hand my bag over. I don’t aim to be the first, it just ends up being that way. Didn’t take long to get to London and I wondered about with the group which ended up sitting on the metal seat that felt like that they were frozen cold.

Disneyland Paris stationGetting checked in wasn’t bad but it took me along time to get stuff outta my pockets which annoyed peps behind me in the line. When we was in the seating area I took the camera off my neck as it was heavy and I was so tried that I left it behind. However luckily others noticed this in the group and picked it up for me. I felt well embarrassed about that.

Once we got in the Eurostar train itself, it looked well dated inside with the brownish colours and I would thought they would of tarted it up abit. I didn’t think about getting a magazine to read on board the train and wish I did. Everyone ears was popping thoughout the jounary which I didn’t expect to happen but I suppose it made sense as the channel was on top of us.

When we arrived into Disneyland Paris, we checked our bags into the storage and went into the main park with the group being fellow people on my course and Richard. Richard set a misson for Ryan which he set for his older bother which did the trip last year. The mission was to go on the rollarcoaster starting from the bottom being that Cowboy one to Space mountain being the top.

At lunchtime, I ended up eating in pizza place. It was really bad as the pizza wasn’t precut and you had to use these plastic knife and folk with a cardboard box. I just ended up using my hand completely and didn’t eat all of it. I felt well ill afterwards.

Over the morning and after lunch I done most of the roller-coasters which was really good . It was quick it wasn’t raining but as it was cold, the parks are not that busy. I don’t mind going to theme parks when it cold at all. I rather it be cold then hanging ages outside sweating.

Disney Village at night.In the afternoon we was let into the rooms. I had Sam and Adam in my room and I was secretly happy that I didn’t have anyone I didn’t get on in the room. It was good that everyone a key card to get in to the room meaning that you didnt have to stick together all the time.

In the evening I went into the village with Dan, Sam and Callium which was alright. Ended up eating McDonald’s which was strange seeing how they adapt the menu for the country. Thankfully they had a picture of what I wanted on the counter and I just pointed then paid. On the way back to the bus, I rung my mom and Keane started playing which was ironic as my mom loves them.

At night time, people just went to bed and didn’t piss around much. I woke up loads thoughout the night though and didn’t get a good rest.

The woes of IT Helpdesk

When I started college months ago at September, they decided to supply me with a laptop. Even though I was unhappy about the weight and size of this laptop that looked brand new, I deicded to be grateful and not hand it in straight away. They told me when I picked it up that it should be taken back every three months and I signed a form every though I wasn’t allowed to look at it as my tutor was in a rush to have lunch.

It turns out that I wasn’t supposed to use the wifi and that they decided to disable it by uninstalling the driver when they logged in as admin. I think that this is ridiculous that I am not able to do research at home anymore on it and it renders the laptop completly pointless for doing coursework. I can’t be bothered to lug that frigging thing in anymore if its only pupose is doing word processing.

Another thing that annoyed me today is that the girls is my group that act like they are twins said that they wanted to find me a girlfriend but I would need a makeover and to act like somebody I am not. I don’t know if they implying that I am ugly or if they were just joking but I was abit offended. I think I rather not have a makeover thank you very much..

Stoking things up

Last night I arrived back from my week trip in Stoke-on-Trent. In this post I shall briefly cover the whole week and compact things down little. It was a fabulous week though and shall come up again another time soon in the future.

On Saturday I arrived late morning and I didn’t do much apart from settling in to the house and stocking up things like bread and butter. I had such a nice breakfast which was a meatball sub from Subway. I enjoyed every bite as I was so hungry. When I arrived at the station, I changed the return ticket to move it a day later and was chuffed that I ordered a 1st class ticket. It costed me a £10 fee.

On Sunday I shoved some newspapers in some of the nearby house and was relived when my sister announced to me that she fed up with that job as it the winter and not as safe or fun as it is in the summer. Some of the places on the route got really steep hills and I do wonder how she hasn’t broken her neck so far.

On Monday I think I just lazed about and watched Saw because it was on television and I just found it was mainly gore. I really liked the concept behind the movie but I would never ever want that to be real life though.I think I would of been really confused about the whole thing if I didn’t look up the movie on wikipedia.

On Tuesday, I went into Keele and went in to the coffee place to meet my sister as she went in by motorbike. She was a tiny bit annoyed to find it was snowing outside because of it but she enjoyed it and proceeded to write a lovely message to her girlfriend which was sweet. I think I dropped into NAGs to see how they were doing but I didn’t notice a tweet to say there wasn’t any room because my small Acer One battery ran out. I also DJed at KRAP. It was very old school as I just shoved my sister cds in a bag and catch the bus as I didn’t have the time to listen some tunes and burn a cd. The stuff you DJ with is quite easy to work.

On Wednesday, I co hosted a show at lunch time on Keele’s student radio station. It was great fun but my finger aked afterwards cause I was forced to be refreshing the messages page cause a fault with the server meant that the station was running on temp server whilst they sort the problem out.

On Thursday, I went to Alton Towers. I shall talk on this futher on another post as it deserves a post for itself.

Then on friday, I went into Hanley. Look around in the shops and found myself a hulk cap that I liked and Much Ado about Nothing on DVD which shall be useful for revising English at home. I was well chuffed by the discount of 50p. Yeah! I can spend this 50p on a chocolate. The train arrived 20 min late in the evening but the 1st class travel was great. they improved muchly since was time I 1st classed it up. They had food I liked for once and I had my money worth of ‘freebies’ they offered.

So yeah. that was my week off spent in Stoke. I enjoyed every second of it but now I got to live with the fact that I got some typing up to do. Oh well.. better get stuck in!
