    Exactly :p I am absolutely fuming right now. The electricity company (ESB) here in Ireland are planning to go on strike on December 16 and this might cause massive power cuts to many people. They're holding 4 million people to ransom because those bloody unions (who are all a bunch of bureaucrats) can't negotiate. It's about pension plans. How will I be able to cope without my Macs? :cry:

    It's very sad on the one hand he was a man who acheived so much and strove for peace and equality and whilst he leaves this world in a better state than when he entered it it's a sobering thought just how much farther we have to go and gon on without someone as great as him hopefully his lessons will live on and we have all learned something from him.

    Exactly. He did change a lot in this world. Anyway I've been cramming like mad for my Equity exam! I'm a bit stressed about it as I didn't do much study. :(

    He did indeed and he will be continued to be celebrated for generations :)

    I find though if i cram i retain info much better but it lasts basically for a short period before being forgotten :D

    Morning! I'm gonna do a bit more cramming before the exam. Hopefully I'll do well. In the worst case scenario I can discount it as an extra subject.

    Afternoon.

    I've found some EPs by Paper Aeroplanes. I'm a huge fan. They've just announced a tour. I don't know anyone else who's a fan so if I went I'd be going alone. The London date is at St. Pancras Old Church though. Sounds like an absolute nightmare to get to, and I wouldn't be driving, my dad would be.

    We'll see.

    Hi Hav! :)

    I could probably get a train and the tube but I'm not sure if I'd want to travel around London on my own at night.

    I'm out of the exam now. Went better than I expected. Some people were angry though as they topics they had spent hours studying for didn't come up. I had done injunctions and undue influence and those came up. Nobody said they did well. I think they were going to dust off their pitchforks :D Apparently the lecturer's a cheeky git who hates us and he wanted to teach us all a lesson :devil: I might sue him if I fail.

    I think people were dusting off their pitchforks and preparing their speeches for the prosecution :D He's a cheeky git. He said we as a class were too quiet and he even sang at us to try and get our attention :o

    Even if that were the case no reason to grab your attention but not letting you have the relevant information so as a class you all fail :p

    Yep I think that's pretty much the general opinion of everyone in the class :p We have a different lecturer next semester(who's actually my Labour Law lecturer) for Equity, but we'll be covering trusts and things like wills will be done. The Equity guy is no you know who anyway.

    Evening.

    I'm sure that it was fine, CNBC! You can relax now. :)

    I've found Best Coast's EP "Fade Away". I've been waiting for new music from them for a while.
