Food Packaging

I find it funny that they write on i.e. snickers, enjoy as part of a balanced diet when it's obviously bad for you.
And alcohol when they write: drink responsibly when their main concern is clearly to sell as much of their product as possible. And also the things they put into foods like omega three in bread,
a. how much bread would you have to eat to get that omega three? (probably the whole loaf)
b. and they are clearly still bad for you, people just want to have an excuse to buy things they shouldn't

French Tests

Today I have a French speaking test which I have in no way prepared for. It will be a very embarrasing experience, sat there for fifteen minutes being asked questions that I don't even understand let alone know the answer to. All week I have been thinking about sitting there going red mumbling french that doesn't even make sense whilst my caring teacher tries her best to get from me what I need for a good grade. She will one day (not today) realise I am no good at French. The silences are the worst.
I wonder, why do they teach languages so badly? This is my fifth year of doing French and yet when asked what did you do taday? I can only just about string a sentence together. If I had has lessons outside of school I would expect to be fluent by now. We don't even get taught grammar, just a multitude of phrases we are meant to be able to use, to minimise mistakes is the thinking behind it. No verb tables, nothing. I blame the system because by looking at my English I know that I am not actually bad at languages. Hopefully this year I can wing it and scrape a C or a B if I'm feeling good but I want the way languages are taught at school to change.

Public Transport

I'm all for public transport if they could just make it cheap and efficient. It seems somehow wasteful that all the time, everywhere, cars are driving places with one person in when they could seat five. So car pooles might not be necesary from a cost point of view but it doesn make sense.
we are always urged, use public transport but it is expensive and not very good.
They can't improve it because it has no money because nobody uses it because they need to improve it.
There needs to be a MASSIVE initial investment.
If everyone could get about by train and bus cheaply and easily they would.
And also why is there so much freight on the roads?
surely that can be bunged on a train?
There used to be trains to everywhere - not anymore
a friend of mine thinks we should re use the canals - good idea me reckons, I must research it

Just Thought I'd Share

To all you other bloggers, tired of clicking next blog hoping to find a good one but all you get is chinese? (not that chinese is bad, I just can't read it)
well, in the search bar just make up blog names and search them
chances are they're made
anyway this is a much more acurate process of finding blogs you might actually want to read

Wasting Food

I often get annoyed when food is wasted and someone makes the oh so intelligent comment "that could have gone to a starving child in Africa" because
a. People in England starve too you know and not only children
b. there is absolutely no way it could have gone to a starving child in Africa unless it is meant to somehow materialize onto another continent. Us eating all our food really does the children no benefit at all. So please, stop saying that and maybe also buy food for an English tramp near you.

you love rock?

I have noticed a large amount of t-shirts about that say I love rock on them, like the I love NY t-shirt
it annoys me because people obvs just wear them because that's what in at the moment
I mean, if you really loved rock, you would be wearing a band t-shirt no? yet when they get home on goes the likes of Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus, not that there's anything wrong with them
but I find it stupid. You clearly do not love rock.

Stupid Slang

So why exactly to people put extra letters on the end of wordsssss???????
It's pointless, not to mention annoying. This, by the way, is a rant about stupid things people do when they type, quite a lot to do with facebook

point one was the extra letters
secondly, why xox on the end of status' and suchlike? are you kissing me now? if that is indeed what it means
what is bubs anyway? - alright bubs, what? bubs?
and ultra personal fb status' like why did you hurt me?
this is only relevant who to it is directed at and yet every one of your contacts has to have it in their news feeds
we don't care why they hurt you! shut up!
and attention seekers. suddenly, I just don't want to be around anymore comes up and everybody rushes to post  cheering messages telling them its ok and they just lap it up and play depressed
and MORONIC spelling
not even shorter or phonetic
you = yhoo
what?
as my sister puts it: I just fucking hate text speak
