I have accidentally double ordered from an Amazon.co.uk marketplace seller, and cannot directly cancel it! I have had to email them, and even then I may still have to pay £6.71 for something I already have! (well, once they send it to me…)
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Well, this evening my father had obtained vouchers for a restaurant 12.7 miles away. But they were fully booked. So, surprise, surprise, we went to the Beefeater, because lets face it that’s what my family does.
We went in, and standing at the bar was Tommy Walsh. We had been watching him on the home and leisure channel just 40 minutes before, and there he was. We didn’t say anything, however. He was the less eventful of the two, um, events of the evening.
About half an hour later, a lady returned to her table from the toilets, holding her grandson’s hand. However, she tripped over his feet and smashed her head into the table. She was bleeding on the floor, and the boy was screaming. But the waitress dealt with it so well. She was calm, and she put the lady in the recovery position, treated her for shock, calmed down the children, cleaned up the blood and called for an ambulance in about 2 minutes. I swear, she was amazing. She is now officially my role model. The ambulance people were great as well. They were there in about 3 minutes. Made me feel safe!
Anyway, the woman was fine in the end, and Tommy drank a lot and then left, so all ended well.
Hope you all had good evenings,
Sophie
Does life seem like one long exam to people at the moment?
For instance, “How does the author give hints to the reader as to that Sophie is not likely to finish her coursework this week? Explain your answer, making references to the text.”
“Sophie’s neck still itches at the end of this chapter, however her chin scratching problems appear to have disappeared completely.” Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer fully, making references to the text.
“76g of Sophie reacts exactly with 29.2g of Abbi. How much Abbi would be provided by 43.5g of Sophie? (Sophie Ar = 54 Abbi Ar = 89)”
“The probability of Robby Bobbykins going to statistics is 0.7 on a week when he does not have an exam, and 0.01 on weeks that he does. He has an exam on 15% of weeks. On any given week, what is the probability of Robby Bobbykins attending statistics?”
“Sophie’s bag has a mass of 2000kg. At the end of the day she drops it onto the floor with a force of 500N. What is the acceleration of her bag?”
“Wird Sophie ihre Fragen fur sprechen lernen?”
“Did the above question make any sense?”
And so on. It is tiring, I tell you. To be honest, I’d probably do better if it was an exam, because at least then I could use my random question generator. *sigh*
Oh, feel free to answer the above questions, and I’ll give you a grade if you like. Of course, you may have better things to do with your time. Shame on you.
Yesterday evening, Jen and I were proud to be two of the last eight people in Swindon to see Because I Said So at the cinema.
I got on the late bus to receive a message from Jen (on Schmay’s phone). There was one more showing, over at Greenbridge, in one hours time. I had been waiting for a year to see this film. No way was I going to miss it over a small fact like that I had a revision timetable to plan.
We reached the cinema in time, and were able to view the aforementioned film. In brief, Mandy Moore finds true love. Again. But below the slightly cliched surface, this film was so much more.
It was a chance to laugh at a dog driving along in an otherwise empty car, to find out that Lauren Graham can sing, and, best of all, it had the number one film ending of the century: A polka-dot wedding cake falls off of a cliff onto the head of a suicidal maniac. Wonderful.
Although I’m not sure the classification of 12A for “mild sexual references” was quite accurate, this film provided everything I needed: bizarrity, sentiment, and 33 minutes of the funniest woman alive. Go see it. Oh wait, hang on. Get it on DVD when it comes out.
We set off the car alarm. I like that.
