I decided to whip out my camera and film the “supersized moon” so people could see what it was like, it wasnt anything too special really and the previous night with the ultrabright full moon was a bit more spectacular in my opinion but hey.
Also note that I confused the condensation on my window for the moon being potholed and debris around it on my small camera screen.

census 2011 question 17

census 2011 question 17

In the recent 2011 uk census there was a blank question for number 17 and a lot of people wonder why, well there are two types of people actually those who wonder and those who just accept it and move on, I’m one of the previous who thinks whats the point in that, well apparently its to do with a special question for the welsh which seems rather pointless why did they not give us the special question or just put that one on the end and leave it off the uk version. Its like when in high school you get the “this page was left intentionally blank” and you wonder why and sometimes even deliberatly draw something or write “why” or something like that just to see what happens so I figure maybe you should use this question to take the opportunity to ask the government a question yourself, anything you like go ahead show them how stupid they’ve been.

Whats the worst that could happen? Heck if you really want to rub it in write something like “what am I not welsh enough for you” someone might have a laugh at that at the census depo.

okay so today I was on the bus with a friend and there was this drunk guy who was clearly enjoying himself and we were having a laugh at him, then as he was going to get off the bus he stopped half way down the stairs and poked his tongue out and as he did the driver stopped and the guy fell tumbling down the stairs, after a few seconds I got up to look see if he was alright and he was at the bottom of the stairs I looked for a while to see if he was getting up which he didnt so I headed down to try to assist, of course there was about 5 people all trying to give thier advice as to what to do some of which was right but mostly it was just preventing proper diagnosis and assesment of the guys injuries. 

After being able to assess that the guy was concious and responsive it was just a matter of keeping him secure til the ambulance arrived of course the supporters around the guy were all trying to make out they were all that and they knew best and so I took out my medic card to show them that I had done a course, of course they focus on the words “first aid” on the course and go “ooh Ive done first aid” I couldnt be bothered to argue but theres a big difference between CPR and what I had to do for this qualification as this involved not only that but also learning a reasonably thick book on diagnosis of a variety of injuries from falls to broken bones etc, which is beyond what they expect when they read “first aid” which makes me realise how useless the card is at proving what you’ve actually learned.  So what if you can tell if theres any brain damage or broken bones all people will see is CPR every time they look at it. 

In the end the guy had just grazed about an inch squared of skin on his head and hadnt injured himself much due to being drunk and not tensing up.  I just think if the card was more useful at stating what I had done  rather than just medic first aid and sports medicine I couldve got people to stand aside and I couldve actually diagnosed things better rather than try to converse with people about how I know what Im doing.

I am currently watching louis therouxs weird weekends, sorry I cant spell his surname. anyway I notice that a lot of the “spiritual” methods they use can be explained through simple methods, like breathing excercises which obviousely give you a bit of a rush as your entire body become more oxygenated, and they take this to be some sort of spiritual blessing, I also noticed scream therapy being used but given some sort of divine meaning, obviousely if you scream whilst focusing on your anger as loud as possible it will take a huge weight off your shoulders, also the act of repeatedly screaming loudly itself helps.  The add this to bouncing and breathing excercises which would warm up and energise the body.  Add to that the singing and chanting which is synonymous with most cults and religions, these also help get more oxygen into the body and increase bloodflow, and people take the high they get as something associated with thier religion as they make them chant or sing things associated with thier religion whilst dancing, the fact is if you sing and chant for 5 hours no matter what you sing or chant and dance you will still get the same effects.  If you take scientologies main feature of thinking of things in the past which have hurt you, and keep doing that until it hurts less, it would work as a method of self therapy, if you dont run away from your pain and face it until it stops hurting, that works.

Its on the same lines as chi, people would have you believe its a mystical force, but on the most part its simple techniques which you can use to manipulate your body and space around you. Internal chi is in essence the tensing and loosening of muscles, whilst external chi on the most part is moving in precise ways to manipulate the center of gravity to increase the force produced on a single point.

Another thing that is always ridiculous is the way that they state that you arent meant to worship possessions or individuals etc, yet the leaders always expect to be worshipped by all as though they are a god, surely it would not be right to be worshipped on the level of thier god.  Also the fact that christianity have thier 10 base rules, handed down by god, but as you look into the history of christianity you see that they break a lot of these rules in order to spread worldwide, with murder etc being one of the main sins committed.

Was looking around amazon to use a voucher I have, and put products under £10, of course the irritating thing with amazon is all the times that you can put that and the actual amazon new prices are vastly outside the search criteria instead it shows products from other people which are outside voucher jurisdiction etc…

Anyway to my horror and suprise I saw the following product, at one thousand pounds for a playstation one game, this must be some highly rare saught after product you would think, but I think not, look at how other people on the marketplace offer it from 1p lol, quite a markup to be made, perhaps worth buying at one pence and putting on ebay? lol somehow I suspect you would never make anything like one thousand from the sale of such an item, unless platinum coated in a diamond case and high tech beyond ps3 graphics on a ps1 game!

Highly unlikely

Specifically at circus casino hurst street, birmingham city center.

All you have to do is wait for someone to sit at the table, place your chips in front of them so that youve “taken” that position. then once theyve purchased thier chips theyll think especially if youve sat right on the end that if you place your chips first on the spot infront of you thats your spot right? Wrong even if youve placed your chips, and the dealer saw you and didnt say a thing, and the other person places thier chips on top of yours, win or lose its thier box and nothing you can do about it, even if its obvious that it should be your box from where youre sat, the casino dont care in the slightest.

Soooo feel free to steal whoevers chips you like in the casino. They wont care and will do nothing to put things right.

Okay first trip to a proper official casino, at the entrance desk, they play music like on rpg games so its like youre entering a game world rather than an official place to gamble.

On the food side of the casino, as its in the chinatown part of birmingham its clever that they decided to make chinese food the full menu. The food was a little overpriced, but still good. The rice comes on a plate with enough to share with 2 people, of course every other circus casino has different foods. I would have rather ate at one of the other casinos as chinese food doesnt really fill me up well.

Another downside is that they had a set menu 3 courses for £10 but they wouldnt allow me to order off that even though they gave me that menu to choose from, and had a single course with rice for £10. No explaination was given as to why I wasnt allowed to order, would have been nice to have been told why.

Remember at all times only ever gamble with what you can afford to lose, as the games are already in the houses favour before other people are allowed to steal from you with no recourse.

Okay so you get a runny nose, or a cold, hardly going to kill you, but tv blasts you with adverts to take medication to get rid of it as soon as possible, a headache, nothing major but most people will reach for the pill box rather than thier inner strength.

Is it any wonder why we have a problem with microscopic organisms getting use to the medication, and it doesn’t help our self defense system either, if they rely on the medication doing all of the work for them your white blood cells are going to become lazy and just not bother.

The only times you should really take medication is when you’re suffering from something that your body cant heal, and you’d be surprised at the injuries your body can heal without medication. Dont give in to the pharmaceutical companies who just want you to buy thier products, they dont actually care about your health. Take a day off, lie in bed and recover with a nice warm drink, its not going to do any harm if you have a day off and relax a little to recover.

I think there should be a call for all over the shelf medical products to be capped, so that only people with a VALID reason for needing medication can obtain it, it would also reduce abuse by drug addicts.

You will have a stronger more healthy body if you dont rely on over the shelf medication.

christmas is actually a pagan festival of a feast for the survival of the winter solstace, not christs birthday. However there is a figure born on this day, but its not christ, its a sun god mithras… so instead of being christmas day its mithras day, it had existed long before christmas, and was always the feast, christians stole it as people already celebrated on that day. Of course later in time there was saint nicolas who is father christmas Santa clause (where saint nicolas was lost in translation somewhere in another country) He was famed for providing gifts for needy children every year. Instead of wearing red though, I believe it was either blue or green he dressed in.

So why am I blabbering on about all of this? Well christmas isnt anything remotely religious, do we do anything religious for this day, its not even christs birthday, and thats a fact, the christians jumped on the bandwagon of a pagan festival, not very christian of them now is it.

Its a day to have a feast with the family, where you can all cook together as a family all your specialities and provide a really good meal, little party foods and snacks that can be left on the table and snacked on through the day with variety being the thing that is called for. And guess what, you dont have to eat just turkey. Why do people eat turkeys? Becauase thats where saint nicolas came from. It should be all about eating food everyone in the family enjoys, having family games and making a big celebration of the day. Giving gifts to people who deserve them just because you want to get them a gift, not because you have to or because you want one back.

I was going to say we should all stop calling it christmas, Im still going to say that, but instead of going with Xmas, as it is Xmas celebrations, (which I will still say use over christmas) but now I know of mithras day, perhaps we should all revert to calling it what it was origonally. People need to know that its always been a day of feasting and celebration long before christianity stole it.

My idea of a good xmas, a day with nice food, party food like beetroot and things available to snack on during the day, a nice cooked meal, and a day playing party games with the family. We dont have a culture of spending lots of time with family so one day of the year would be the right idea. Oh and one important factor is you HAVE to have the cheesy christmas pop hits in the background, worth the cd, really sets the mood for the day.

Seasons greetings and goodwill to you all this mithras (xmas) day.

Take care

Has anyone seen dark angel, a grim look at the future, where everywhere is policed with strict border control, and you need special passes to get through to another town or city, well theres also airborne camera drones. Now this has been implemented in dudley, a modified toy which floats, but has cameras in it for the police to monitor the town remotely.

Are we really turning into a state where there will be cameras floating around everywhere watching your every move, how long before we have border controls between towns so you cant travel easily,

Isnt it enough that we have cameras on every street covertly watching your every move, why do we need ones that can fly around everywhere and intimidate you if its floating near you and youre doing nothing wrong (all you have to do is walk around a supermarket with a bag on your own to get followed by security guards here)

Final thoughts, in a busy city center, if the batteries run low, its gonna land hard on someone

One of the stupidest things about exams is where the questions on the paper are only actually 25% of the actual score, it wont tell you this, you have to find out from the teacher, and if they dont tell you theres no way you can pass no matter how well you do, because theres another 25% for giving relevant industry examples, another for relating your answer to other fields of knowledge, and another 25% for giving a quote of some sort. So no matter how well and fully you answer the question, its more about relating it to other things and including these formula for the grading criteria rather than answering the question well.

Shows why exams thesedays arent really worth much because its not about what you know, its about knowing how to pass the exam rather than actual knowledge.

Maybe they should state these things in the question, more people would possibly know to do these things then, I mean the question is what you answer, not and also include all this other stuff in every question that the exam doesnt remotely mention anywhere on the paper.

Of course I passed second time I did the exam because I was informed “where I went wrong” maybe if theyd said this extra stuff was required I wouldve known lol.
