The Weakest Week
My crap week in 30 seconds. 1.Failed to get a promotion after crap interview. 2.Had people who are clearly idiots look down their nose at me whilst I served them ice cream. 3.Had mustard put up my noseby my best friend. 4. Ruined shirt by sleeping nose to sleeve (i.e. mustard) 5. Turned up for work an hour early. 6. Blamed for tills mistake (I wasnt in at the time.) 7.

Another head in the wall.
Yesterdays rant over, I somehow managed to start work after only 74 cups of tea. No wont it takes two hours to drop off. Well anyway things seem to have got worse. Log on blackboard to get ref info and assignment info. Doesnt want to let me in despite I've not changed my password and have it wrote in front on me (not that i need it) in black and white. Now I've tried too many times. Locked out. Ring help line. No answer. Try again. Reception. Puts me through. No answer. Repeat several times. Beat head against wall. Try next assignment. Need refs. Live 40 miles from uni library. Beat head against wall. Next assignment. Seems to be carbon copy of last one so assume I've done something wrong. Print out stuff to read. No printer. Beat head against wall. Missus comes in and asks why I haven't put hoover around. Beat head against wall. Missus asks why dinner isn't done. Beat head against wall. Headache. No tablets. Lovely-time for a nice 7hour shift at work.

Where do I start? At the begining? This is harder than it seems.
Starting something really depends on what "something" is. Starting a curry- bang some tomatoes in a pan. Start a race- move your legs in front of each other. Start a fight- tell a roidhead his top is baggy. All these are as easy as it comes. Starting other things prove much much more difficult, IE starting homework. If someone said to me "build a rocket" I'd at least start looking what to make it from, it wouldn't be that hard, its not rocket science. Well it is, but you know what I mean. When I try to start working it seems the world is against me. Will do it after this program, program finishes, make cup of tea, read paper with tea, listen to girlfriend talk about her day (several hours this one), and before you know it, its time to go to work, bed, or whatever people do at night.
Anyway Im off to start an assignment. Just have a quick look on the internet first....

Massive Issue Two Revamp
After many hours of discussion, even more arguments and even more sackings, the editors have decided to have a complete overhaul of the blog and our favoured format (see pic) is being discarded and revamped to a more snazzy design. So from now on, we'll see less of the tired old, and more of the happy new. Enjoy...

Men and Makeup.
Men and Make up? Whats next, Women and Working? Well although the latter may be a little outdated, the former is still a bit taboo. If I was to ask any of my friends is it OK if I wore makeup, I can only assume the answer would be in the form of a bit of light violence and the questioning of my masculinity.
Well is it OK for men to wear makeup? Is it really a new "thing?" Do women think its acceptable for men or will they think we've all turned a little bit lah di dah?
I suppose, like most things, its all about the situation, context, the when, the where and the who? David Bowie in the 70's with a multicoloured face was probably received as cool at the time. The Spider and web painted Legion of Doom smashing seven shades of poo into Kiss inspired Demolition at WrestleMania was definitely cool. These were 20odd stone giants beating crap into each other yet they wore a full face of make up. Would you tell them they was "a bit gay?" Probably not. Unless you wanted you wanted your face rearranged to look like the elephant man's uglier brother.
Nowadays we see a different kind of slap on a mans face. Think of Big Brother loser John James with his eyeliner and nail varnish, or former 80's pop star Pete Burns looking like a million facial surgery accidents complete with more makeup than a Boots counter.
Is this cool? Is this the way forward for men? I hope not. What will be next? "Im just off rugby training love, seen my high heels.....?"
