DAVID CAMERON TAKE NOTE..

Just came across this on Facebook and from the reaction it got off many people, I agree in thinking this is appalling. It is about time we took care of British people as a first priority!

Dissertation Hell!

See this more as a mini-rant than a blog post, because quite frankly, I need to vent some frustration. Now I could just start screaming (but my room mates wouldn't be happy), maybe cry (then I wouldn't be happy) or drink bleach (which, honestly, makes me sounds like a psycho!).

Eventually, I came to the conclusion, that none of them would write my dissertation for me- disappointingly.

As a result of this, I decided to man the hell up!
Three years of hard work, two months to go and I would be an idiot to give in now.
Fingers crossed, eyy!

Birdsong (BBC)

Where do I start... I absolutely loved this 2 part TV series. Birdsong really pulled at my heart strings and is influential in provoking thought about the value of life's attributes. Set in World War I, the show studies the life of a soldier- actor Eddie Redmayne-who is battling for Britain in the trenches. Flash backs to his previous life before the war show his moving story. Redmayne- a British man living in France- falls in love with a married woman who's husband is abusive towards her, which sparks an affair. After running away together, he then learns of the beginning of World War I. Within the scenes of battle, it's quite clear that there is a deep sense of story behind his eyes. The actors use more facial expressions to communicate their pain and conflict, rather than dialogue. Personally, I cried almost all the way through, as it showed the true suffering of our British soldiers in the war. Whether it was the conditions that they were living in, the fear of dying or the deaths; it really shows the reality of our soldiers lives. It also communicates the importance of family and love, 'There's nothing more sir, than to love and be loved.'

I would definitely recommend this show. The acting is brilliant, the story is well crafted and oh.. Redmayne is beautiful! That's all!

Off to go buy the book!- you should too!

I Heart Vegas by Lindsay Kelk

Fresh, sweet and hilarious- just like the rest of Lindsay Kelk's I Heart series,Vegas definitely doesn't disappoint.

I Heart Vegas, is a fresh mix-up of Sex and the City and Friends, with a clumsy lead character we all love and admire.

I love reviewing Lindsay Kelk's books, because quite honestly I want to be Angela, in each and every one of them. Or Jenny, I really wouldn't mind being pretty and witty at the same time.

It's Christmas time when Angela is informed that she has lost her job at the women's magazine she writes for. After realising that she is about to get deported back to the United Kingdom- and her crazy mum- if she doesn't find a new one, she begins to panic. If only she could marry Alex, right? But, both being happily settled in their current lives, she fears that he would say no.

Meanwhile, Jenny is arranging a last minute, crazy trip to Vegas, assuring Angela that her visa will work out fine. Obviously, a Lindsay Kelk book wouldn't be the same without colourful lights, cat fights and cocktails- which is exactly what Vegas can guarantee you. Jenny has her own agenda that she's keeping from Angela for being there, but who will take a trip to the chapel? Jenny or Angela?

The book starts off with a more serious tone than the others in the series, eventually lightening up as you delve deeper into it. But this is not to take away from the hilarious situations that they find themselves in- falling in Vegas fountains and fighting sky-high in a helicopter.

I Heart Vegas, has a lot more heart than the other books, as you actually feel for the lead character. She doesn't want to lose her glossy life in New York, leave the love of her life or her crazy best friends. The book ends perfectly, but you'll have to read it for yourself- and let's face it, you will be happy you did!

Two-Headed Baby Born

A Brazilian woman has given birth to a baby boy with two heads.

The child weighing 9.9lb has fully functioning organs and a healthy heart, it was reported today.

The case is extremely rare with only a few other instances being registered world wide.

 

However- extraordinarily- this is the second case that a baby has been born with two heads in Brazil this year.

...

So what do you think? Coincidence that this is the second reported case? Maybe there's something in the water in Brazil. 

Either way, it's good to see that the baby and mother and healthy and happy.

Just seen this article, about paedophile Joseph McColgan, 69 being spotted at a car boot sale-even after being jailed for 238 years for beating and raping his own children. 
I don't understand why these people are allowed to be freed? Granted, people get released for good behaviour from jail- but how does that compare to people who are jailed for minor offences?
Would you be happy seeing this man walk around your local car boot sale after the offences he had been convicted of? 
This definitely has shocked a lot of people into understanding how people convicted of these offences can walk our streets freely.
