Hello all, and by all I mean the three people who actually read my blog. First things first, let's get all the crap out the way, I had a reasonable week, and this blog is a day late. SHOCK HORROR. I have a really weird ocd, so I'm actually kind of annoyed with myself. The reason it's late is, I lost track of time yesterday, and I had my trial at the bar in Remix. If any of you want to know, I got the job, yay! However, it is really long hours, I didn't get in until 4:30, after finishing at 3:30 in the morning. Obviously, I was in no state to write this, so I gave in and collapsed on my bed. This is hopefully the start of a new job that goes really well. Or I might mess it up and nobody will hire me again. Ever.
I hope you've all had a palatable week, though I don't know why I ask, nobody ever tells me on this blog, apart from Mira. ;) This week's blog was going to be about the Iraq War. However, I thought I'd be fun and tell you all how last night went. As if you care. But we'll start with the Iraq War for now. (The title of this blog being appropriate, it's a song by The Specials if you wanted to know.)
What a joyful subject. I love war, bloody love it. I love hearing about all those people who died and got blown u- Actually I'll stop right there, in case people don't detect my sarcasm, and then think I'm a really sadistic bastard. I wanted to blog about this as it's an issue I have a different opinion than most. Also, unless you have been under a rock, you'll have noticed Blair is up for an Inquiry into why he went into Iraq in the first place. What drove him to mercilessly go in with the gun-toting Bush, and slaughter all those people? Ah what a pillock. Now, I'll start by stating my opinion on the Iraq War. I personally believe it was completely justified to get rid of Saddam. In the words of Blair himself:
“Responsibility, but not a regret for removing Saddam Hussein. I believe he was a monster, that he threatened not just the region but the world."
I concur Mr. Blair. I also think taking him out aggressively was far better than following the U.N's tactic of, basically writing angry letters to make him stop doing what he was doing. However, that's about as far as my opinion on the Iraq War goes when it comes to why it was a good idea. I certainly believe it's a joke (not a funny one, obviously) how long we've been out there. It was also absurd the reasons they gave for invading. "He had WMDs!" Yes, it is bad if he did. He was a bit of a dictator. But hang on a second...YOU'VE got them too! But that's ok is it? How about you all get rid of them? I understand that will never be a realistic goal, but it's nice to promote liberal bullshit once in a while :)
Also, I'd like to make the point which most people don't know. Saddam never said to the UN he had WMDs, he just said "You can't look." Which, apologies if this sounds ludicrous, I think he has every right to a bit of privacy! However, it's an incredibly complex issue and the bottom line is, we've ballsed it up :)
Right, on to last night. It was fun, despite being really hard work. I was doing bar running, so my tasks included, collecting the empty bottles and cups, then washing them and returning them. I also had to check the two bars, which was three by the end of the night, for the ice levels, the water available and the stock of drinks. This was all a big rush, and I was constantly on my feet! I didn't really like doing the running between the bars for the main reason of the massive crowd in my way. It was incredibly infuriating having to say "Excuse me please" about a thousand times. Also, some people were just rude, and stood in stupid places. And some danced with me? Why? I'm clearly working... moron. One particular moron asked me how much a beer was when I was carrying them to restock a fridge...No...you don't buy them from me, what am I? A travelling merchant? Alls well that ends well though, and let's hope it keeps being a-ok.
I don't really have much else to say, I have two essays due in, so I'll start those now (lies)...and obviously, facebook awaits. I want to offer you all (again, by all I mean three) the name of a very funny t.v show, that's on Comedy Central on Mondays at 10:00pm.
30 Rock is the name and it really is a genius bit of comedy, staring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin (the non-crazy creationist Baldwin).
Here's a trailer, there's no really good clips of it on youtube...

Right, good luck to me on my essays, and good luck to those for the next week.
Now go away.
