It's Been Raining Cats And Blogs Recently...

Well here we are; summer at last.  Well at least that's the theory.  The weather has been quite unpredictable -  raining one minute, then sunny the next.  It's as if it has bi-polar disorder.  Anyway, at least we have all finished exams though (albeit some of us have retakes) which means we can relax.  I am looking for work this summer and have applied to Tesco.  I haven't heard back from them yet, but it would be very convenient to get a job there as it's local.  So far though, I have been quite bored.  Most of the time I have been at home just lazing about really.

The Wimbledon season is well under way.  Hopeful Britons hope this will be Andy Murray's year, but you cannot bet against Nadal.  He is a formidable opponent, raked higher than Murray, but more importantly has won the tournament before and beaten all the top players.  I will look forward to see Maria Sharapova on court nevertheless ;)  It must be something about Russian women.  This tournament is the biggest in the tennis calendar and makes good viewing.  After all, I don't have much else to do.  How are you going to be spending the summer?

The football transfer market is open too.  Manchester United look to be big spenders this summer.  I feel that in the past the gaffer has bought players (like Bebe and Obertan) who have not really shown us their ability.  It could be a repeat performance of the class of 2005, where David Bellion and Eric Djemba-Djemba soon found themselves departing the club.  Well some say: "Nani has improved significantly.  Just give the new'uns time."  Nani was a £17 million pound player though.  So far United have signed Phil Jones and are seeking Ashley Young and David De Gea.

Last nights episode of The Apprentice was decent.  Leon was the fired candidate and I feel Lord Sugar made the correct decision.  Who do you think will win?  When the series began, I though Jim (the Northern Irish guy) was a main contender, but I am not sure now.  Much happens in an episode of Waterloo Road.  Every week a dramatic situation is thrown upon the viewers.  Funnily enough, after last week's episode; the fire alarm was set off by a pupil the day after the program at my mum's school which shows the influence the program has on people.  However, for the most part it just makes people feel better about their lives, as the majority of people are not teenage parents etc.  Made in Chelsea is OK too.  Monday's episode saw all the character's plans fail or backfire.      

I have bought lots of clothes over the past two months and several ties.  I don't mind spending money on clothes because it feels as if the money isn't being wasted.  For example you could spend £200 on a day out somewhere, but when the day is over, that's it.  I have ordered a pair of Timberland shoes online.  The question is, what will arrive sooner: Christmas or my Timberland's?  These delivery people do take their time.  Your probably sick of reading about this now, so I'll wrap it up.

I have heard some funny limericks in the last month.  Please excuse their irreverence and rudeness.   

There once was a woman named Jill
Who swallowed an exploding pill
They found her vagina
In North Carolina 
And her tits in a tree in Brazil   



There was a young Scotsman called Andy,
Who knocked over his bottle of Shandy.
He lifted his kilt,
To wipe up what he spilt,
and the barmaid said "Blimey!, that's handy"  

Have a lovely summer everyone.

The Apprentice: Your Attired!

Good morning people.  Look outside; it's a lovely morning and so revision will be all the more harder knowing everyone in my family is going out :/  Anyway, this is my 60th blog post, and then it dawned on me just how many posts I have churned out since mid February.  Since my last post (over two weeks ago), Cein has made a new blog.  Part of the reason I have not posted is that he has mentioned the new and innovative things in it.  Well, I'll stop with the excuses now.  After all, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley needs her fix of Mikesy's blog ;)

Barcelona have recently been crowned champions of Europe, much to the displeasure of Man Utd fans.  Still, Barcelona truly outclassed the English side and deserved to win.  They have formed a frankly astonishing team!  Sticking with Man Utd - Paul Scholes has retired!  Shocked?  I'm not.  He was a great player, but I think he left at a good point.  We know of his reckless and aggressive tackling, and like Gary Neville, you could see weaknesses in their game.  All of this aside, Munster beat Leinster!!  Sorry to all those living around Dublin, but it was a good win.  Back to football, Swansea have been promoted to the Premier League at the expense of Reading.  Now, because Reading are quite a local team, I wanted them to be promoted, but hey.  Andy Murray is ploughing on in the French Open in spite of his ankle injury.  So that's enough on sport for now.

I saw "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" in 3D on Monday.  I was quite pleased with it overall.  The main plot is Captain Jack and the crew are searching for the fountain of youth.  In this film, Keira Knightly is not present (don't cry now), and neither is Orlando Bloom.  Instead Penelope Cruz adapts to the role of a female pirate.  All the actors were on form, and Jack continues to amuse by saying things like: "writhing, writhing, incessant writhing!"  The reviews are a little mixed, but I enjoyed it - certainly more than the third one anyway.  Tonight will see The Apprentice on again.  This is a show I usually enjoy and I presume many of you watch it.  GQ magazine do a post every week commenting on how the contestants dress.  It's quite interesting really, for example it said "no" to the guys wearing lime green ties etc.  EastEnders is getting little better now.  Masood was right about Yusef all along, and despises the man because he seeks to steal his wife from him.  At the end of yesterdays episode, Masood and a vengeful Phil cornered him in the Arches.  Will there be a fight?  I think so.

I have thought up a Limerick myself:

There was once a man from Slough,
Who wanted to have sex right now,
His wife said "No!"
And her sister said "Go!"
So he had to have sex with a cow!

It's not great really, I'm sorry.  If you want to be really amused, just visit the Sikipedia website.
Next week I have six exams.  So good luck to everyone doing exams at this time.  I hope you can still enjoy half term though.

Yours sincerely,
Goobs.
