I'm on my third porter of the afternoon. Didn't even plan to drink this afternoon, but obviously my plans changed.
Lucky. I can't drink because I'm sick. I'm drinking a lot next weekend. I'm going to start drinking every other weekend as opposed to getting sh*tfaced every weekend.

Watching question time and not pleased. I understand some degrees are not all that valuable but it's horrible to call then "mickey mouse". I'm not stupid but i've went to a grammar school and I know what it 's like to be at the bottom.
It makes me sad when these upper class old men from London look down their nose at normal people who aren't particularly inteligent.
For these people it is more about achieving something..
People are quick to say we in Northern Ireland are sheltered but from observation the upper class old men seem quite sheltered in that they don't leave their communities..some of these old people are so simple.. They think everything is so easy to solve..
I don't know why the British government doesn't have normal people in the government instead of these old men.

I wouldn't go there again. I had terrible experiences there.
The teachers (some) were very alouf and thought they were part of the royal family or something. The rules were ok but some were rediculous e.g in terms of how we had to wear our uniforms.
It wasn't a good place to be if you weren't an A* student as the teachers didn't really care or bother to help, for alot of my subjects I just gave up on listening and just taught myself.
They gave out awards and every year it was the same people.. Kind of demotivating for me and others i'm sure.. It really sent out a message of not caring about those of us not at the top.
They really pushed triple award science and made it out like subjects such as a Geography were "soft".
If you didn't go to university your life was over according to them.
