Dead pigs, gone off milk and complete twats

I've spent the whole time writing this blog trying to think of a snappy way of starting this blog, and I have absolutely no idea why now, as most of them start with 'Errr, well its been a while'. So instead . . . , well its not been that long!

That being said, nothing of interest has happened in the intervening days between my last entry and now. I've just worked five days straight and I'm absolutely exhausted. Don't get me wrong I love my job but by mid afternoon today I think I'd rather have strangled a screaming child than helped it. There were amusing moments as ever having said that. The highlight perhaps when I went searching for ice cream, opened the walk in freezer and nearly had a heart attack when there was a dead pig on the floor with no insides. I nearly threw up. There should be laws protecting you from that kind of thing, especially for the vegetarians out there! I had another near-vomiting moment today when Stu revealed his plans for his last day of work and showed me his year-old four pints of milk, the bottom was actually solid, then the middle was more or less milk consistency but a dull orangey white colour, and the top bit was just like dirty pond water. I feel ill just thinking about it.

So anyway the only thing of remote interest really was last night when Mike and Charlotte came over for a lazy DVD night, as both of them are back off to uni tomorrow. I thought we'd have a nightmare deciding on what to watch as we all have completely different tastes in films, Charlotte is your typical girly girl who is also obsessed with Disney films, whereas Mike and I would chose a political film or I'd go for a historical drama. But in the end it all proved very easy, we watched Back to the Future, which shockingly I have never seen the whole way through. I know its a really hyped up film but I really enjoyed it, and it made me giggle a hell of a lot more than Hot Fuzz did last week. I seriously think the doctor should have got an Oscar for his outstanding performance as a nutty professor.

Anyway I'm currently sat writing this in front of The Apprentice on BBC1. I love this programme, I think its reality TV for the educated (how snobbish does that sound?) But seriously its addictive, I remember last year it was one of the only programmes that was always on in the JCR (Junior Common Room), every week and there was always tons of us in there. I think this is the fourth series now, I've seen series 2,3 and now 4. Out of these, I think the second series was the best, purely due to the characters in it, particularly Syed and Ruth who exemplified what makes The Apprentice good, the fact everyone is a complete twat (that being said Katie in series 3 was probably my least favourite person on it ever). Chances are in every series you will dislike 90% of the contestants purely as they aren't very nice people, which I suspect is why I will never make my way in business.

We've got pretty good at guessing who is going into the boardroom between us, but guessing who is gonna be fired seems to be more difficult. Sir Alan Sugar is an unpredictable fellow, although he does have a lovely teddy bear face. There are some unbearable characters in this series too, Lucinda and the ginger one (I'm so good with names), are doing my head in with their unnecessary bitching, oh and the ginger one is just infuriating full stop. My brother is backing Raef, who described the members of the team as princes or paupers based on their economic background during the first week, and the guy that went that week, similarly split them into educated and uneducated, and considered his B at GCSE a failure. You see my point about unbearable contestants? All that being said there's even a moderately hot contestant this series, Simon, although my Dad and I had an argument about his hair, which was apparently 'scruffy' and my dad wouldn't give him a job, the fact he probably spent about half an hour styling his hair to be 'scruffy' and that was fashionable and quite common clearly went over my Dad's head. Generation gaps ftw.

Its taking me a ridiculously long time to write this blog cos I keep thinking it sounds complete crap, so I apologise. I never normally put the effort into my English or my writing in these things as I'm normally tired, I promise I write better normally, I have to I'm a history student!

PS. Boobies.
