Papped this week....

Rusholme, Monday 6th April, 2009

Going out in public wearing the exact same outfit as your friend/sister; not ok past the age of 4.

Grand Designs ramblings

I'm only 5 minutes into this week's episode on channel 4 but i already think this couple's 'dream' is ridiculous.

I'll keep you up-to-date on how i feel throughout the show because i'm bored. PS- i'm not a geek. just an architecture student.

That's all.

(ps G.Manchester- you may delete this post if you feel it is unsuitable. i think it'll be ok though because you and i are the only ones who read it)

***************9.52pm UPDATE*****************

it was a shit episode. waste of an hour.

The Smoking Ban, It Ain't So Bad

Firstly; the socialising outside with fellow smokers has become a highlight of my night out. Secondly; I've noticed how my dancing has become much more adventurous since the smoking ban. Before I used to use a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other as an excuse to avoid dancing. Now, I have learnt to jump a swirl about without a care in the world and it is wonderful. 

......Oh yes and the not forcing others to stink of smoke/get cancer is quite good as well.

Another Short Rant Re: Personalised Number Plates

I do not understand why anyone would ever pay so much money to write their name on a car, is it so that they don't loose it? Is it so that other drivers know your name? Sorry; your name if it was spelt backwards and with numbers instead of letters? No. I think it is in fact a very easy and very expensive way to make yourself look like a complete twat.
