Amazing How People can push for an agenda

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kanhave one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kanbe expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. If zis mad you smil, lev a koment!

battle

So - I want to update tonight because I've had so many good chats and nice surprises today.

I don't want to update because I have a sore head, gunky nose, sore feet, sore hand, and really just wanna go to bed.


I think that overall not posting wins (obviously only to some extent otherwise you wouldn't be reading this) - so goodnight to all. x

receiving

We receive from God by faith...
But we receive from satan by fear.

I've been eating good cookies today.

NOTE - I already wrote this entry and the computer was gay and froze. I always find that the second attempt at an entry is less coherent.

So yeh, cookies, I know probably not the most interesting topic for a blog entry, but it's as interesting as my day got - seriously. Today was the last lazy day of my lazy-week, which is kinda sad, but I'm also glad it's over now. It's been a crazy, hectic, jam-packed summer (totally didn't expect that) but last week I just realised that it was about time I took a little time to chill out and de-stress before going back to Uni next week. So yes, the point of that being, I did nothing except go to the loo a couple of times, and eat some cookies over at some friends' house.

Moving on lol... not that anyone will have read this far, but nonetheless moving on.... Uni starts back on Tuesday and by then I hope to have it all sorted out. It's really been a bit of a nightmare seeing hurdle after hurdle appear in the distance, and some of them seeming as though they might be impossible to pass. It was also kinda scary thinking that it might not work and because of that perhaps doubting God's part in me being there. Maybe that was the most scary bit. I guess that's why I took a week out too. I'm hoping that the classes which I have chosen, and the ones I've been particularly looking forward to turn out as expected.

I'm gonna go to bed now, and hopefully sleep, cos it's something I ain't been doing much of lately. Last night resorted to taking some pills which I was assured would help me sleep. They did a little but I'm not sure if it was just a result of a tiring day (yeh I know a tiring day on a lazy week, ironic) yesterday. So yeh, maybe I'll pop one of those again tonight, maybe not.

So see ya (or not)!
Remember to leave me a comment cos it makes me feel loved.

Like, seriously I don't understand some people. - READ ON.

1. I don't understand why you say my blog is topic specific, I'm just not seeing it sorry. Unless that topic is 'everything in general'. Please feel free to let me know what led you to make this statement - if it was anything other than marketing, which I do hope it was.

2. If you are going to leave a marketing post on my blog, then at least be sensible enough to leave a web URL to your blog or product website. No one is going to go searching for something they didn't ask you to post about, you have more chance if you leave the address!

3. Don't go for the 'I've seen yours now you can see mine' line. It made me laugh, but yeh, I'm not visiting your site, you didn't even try as hard as the other guys.

4. If any of you actually wanted to get some respect, you might try answering the question I actually asked in the first place. It would have made me a lot happier, and perhaps I would have considered looking at what you had to offer rather than taking the 'sip' out of your feeble marketing attempts publicly.

(P.S. I might check out the two topic-specific blogs which you mentionned to me, your post didn't irritate me the way the others did. Such is life.)

Over and Out.

stop the spamming!

Repying?

Hey - can anyone (and yeh, I do mean ANYONE) advise me on the best way to reply to people's questions? I really want people to comment on my blog and it would be good to even get a bit of chat going on - but how do I do this? When they ask questions do I post the reply on their page or just assume that they will remember to come back and visit? I know that friends and people like that will come back again, but will people who were just passing through but left a question ever remember which blog they were on?

Advice please?

Thanks. (In advance of the answer of course!)

SNAKES&LADDERS

SNAKES

That’s just about it - A great big game of snakes and ladders. I’ve always noticed (and maybe it’s just when I play the game) that I never get any ladders to climb up. Always looking around and people seem to have head start here or a head start there, or a wee boost in the right direction. I’m one of those people who could sit here for hours telling you about how I’ve always played fairly, moving on square by square, not climbing many (if any) ladders, but always landing on the snake and ending up on my backside at the bottom. Yeah, you got it, that’s my *feeling sorry for myself* story of the day.

LADDERS

That’s not the end of the story though, because as I sat here thinking about how I always ended up on the snake, I snapped back into reality. I realised that not so long ago (in the grand scheme of it all) I started off on the biggest ladder of them all. I’ve been standing a few rungs up on this ladder, totally unaware that’s it’s there, under my feet whenever I wanna move, and get closer. The problem is, we can so often fail to see that we’re on a ladder we can climb up, (it’s like not noticing someone owes you rend in Monopoly).

You see, that ladder has been provided by the faithful Lord Jesus Christ. It is the answer to all of our prayers of always sliding back down those snakes. He doesn’t take away the snakes, and in actual fact often there will be more, but what He does do, is provide us with the ladder when it’s needed and when His purposes are accomplished in situations. The scripture, ask and it shall be given unto you springs to mind. Yeh, so go on, ask for that ladder you’re in need of, ask for that assurance of salvation, ask for a personal friend and Saviour – He’s there: - ask Him now.


This started off as a personal, hurting post, but you know what, that’s not what it’s all about. I’m glad it didn’t end up that way.
Peace Out.

SNAKES AND LADDERS

wow

Wow I feel like it's Christmas morning. I might explain once my head has calmed down a little. wow.

(Any paragraph with three wows from me is probably worth noting lol)

Leave me a comment..........

Please!!!

*sings* If I was a pussy-cat...

Please God, Let me Catch just 1 Mouse today!

.......this would *definitely* be my prayer for today. Lol.

People jokes - (a change from blonde jokes)

A group of scientists decided that mankind had advanced far enough that they no longer needed God. So they drew straws, and the loser went to find God. When he found Him, he dithered a bit, made some small talk about the weather, and finally came out with it.
"OK, look God," he said, "We've mastered space exploration, we can cure any disease, we can talk instantaneously with people around the world, we can clone human beings; basically, we don't need you any more."
God listened patiently. Finally He spoke.
"Tell you what," He said. "We'll settle this with a man-making contest. Each of us will make a man, and the first one to finish wins."
"Sure," said the man, who headed off to consult with his colleagues.
"Wait a minute," called God.
The man turned."We're going to do this the real way; the way I did it in the beginning."
"No problem," responds the man, bending down to grab a handful of clay.
"No, no, no," says God. "You get your own dirt."

So - whats the news?

Do you ever get to a stage where so much happens in one week that the longer you leave the updating the more impossible it becomes?  Yeh – that’s where I’m at.

From Friday to Wednesday I spent time in Edinburgh with Ruth, it was a great time (at least I think so) and it was awesome to hang out with Ruth again and just do silly stuff like we used to do all the time!  You want an example – umm…. On Friday night we ate the hugest steak pie the world has ever seen, which we bought for a meagre £1.06.  Great huh?!  We also did other fun stuff like climb to the top of Arthur’s Seat!  It really was good fun.  I’m not going to bore you with more details because no doubt it was only us who found it fun!

OOOOOHHHHH wait – one last thing about it.  We found a Mr. Boom video and watched it, was thoroughly exciting – no that’s a lie, buying the video was the second most exciting thing to switching it off after we had watched it.  If you remember Mr. Boom I think you should email me NOW!!  Thanks!

What else is news – Everything is News!  Lol… If you don’t get the joke and want to, you’re sad but you can ask me to find out (so I can laugh at you for being sad and asking).

I had a really cool chat with a guy I know about hearing from God.  He asked some questions which pretty much everyone asks about the subject,  but then also asked some questions which really got me thinking.  It was a good chat, in my opinion, I hope he thinks about it some more, because I know my Christian life was majorly changed by the discovery that God actually spoke and that I could hear Him in different ways.  I know that probably sounds crazy to like, soooo may folk out there, but never mind.  Such is life!

Tonight's Updates (After Such Hard Graft on Blog Layout!)

Sooo Crazy, I’ve spent a stupid amount of time updating this blog in the past 24 hours. It’s time that I could have spent doing something else, but never mind, I’ve done it now and hopefully I won’t have to play with it for quite a long time to come!

Discovery Group
This was actually quite good today, and I had a fairly nice time. That was unusual since I’m always dreading going, and today I was almost intent on sleeping through it. However, I woke up at like, 7.20pm and we’re supposed to be there at 7.30pm, so going seemed like the right thing to do.
Now the group has split into two, it will be interesting to se how everyone keeps contact with those in the other group. When we popped over to Mike’s group it already felt kind of odd, and as I had suspected there was always going to be someone who played the, ‘we’re the better group’ card. Yeh, ok whatever: - grow up!

Extra Cash
I always get amazed when God answers my prayers, especially when I have even forgotten I’ve asked him! I’ve been struggling financially a bit lately and I’ve been taught (and know it works from past experience) that we should always pray about these things. Today I was given an opportunity to do a little work in my church over the next couple of weeks (which happens to be the time when I struggle most as it’s before my student money comes in). It’s not any majorly important work, and in fact it’s pretty menial like, cleaning: - but that doesn’t matter, I need the cash badly, God knows that and the church need someone to do it. Since that’s pretty much adding up to a job for me, I’ve taken it. Let’s just see how well I do at this cleaning stuff, I’m hardly the best at it!!
