Charity Night & Football 'Fans'

Good morning people!

Last night was an amazing night. My best friend's family were doing a charity collection for Weston Park Cancer Trust in memory of a family member. This is also something personal to me, so I went out and purchased the nights uniform: The Onesie. I am now a convert! I even slept in it :D

I believe a lot of money was raised last night, judging by the weight of the collection tins, so well done guys!!

Did I mention that this was a pub crawl around the village in onesies?

The end of the night was slightly ruined by the football fans. Seriously, you don't go to a pub and chant songs that blatantly are not English as loud as you can. They started fighting too. Football should be banned. A sport which requires police to be crawling all over an interchange and train station cannot possibly be socially acceptable! Incidentally, one of my friends had a beer can thrown at her head while on the bus home from work by a set of football hooligans. Since when has this become the 'norm'?

Apologies

First off, I would like to apologise for the terrible spelling mistakes in my last post. I gave myself a serious talking to considering I had passed my literacy QTS test that same day.

I feel like I should share who I am with you, my readers and fellow bloggers.

Name: James
Age: 21
Occupation: Post-Grad Student
Previous Degree: BSc (Hons) Chemistry
Bio: This is the tricky bit. I love my games,  especially RPG gaming on the 360. I am an ex-warcraft player. World of Warcraft: Kung-Fu Panda was the final straw. I love my books. One day, I hope to have a room big enough to fit all my books in. I mainly read fantasy/sci-fi and gothic novels. I'm currently reading The Historian, while making little progress on The Silmarillion.
I work hard when I'm not at home, so I rarely see my parents!
Last, but  especially not least. Eurovision. The single most amazing night of the year, every year. I'm somewhat an addict! Unfortunately for my housemates and house guests last year, I knew the words, dances and violin solos to all the entries. This is considered an achievement for I was cooking 6 pizzas and 12 side dishes at the same time!

I have recently inherited a load of books from a dear friend of mine, so I suspect there will be many book reviews as well as game reviews coming your way.

TTFN.

And it begins...

Here we go! I once attempted blogging as a first year undergraduate chemistry student. That failed. The blog that is, not my degree! I got a 2:1 don't you know and I'm now a student teacher, but the teaching aspect week never make it onto here.

I feel like a lot of things have gone smoothly lately (maybe due to the two week break!)

I'm floundering here. The Hobbit. My god. Turns out dad buying a 3D television was the best thing ever! Loved it in imax, and now I can enjoy it a home with a 3D cuppa. That is how the glasses work right?

I loved The Hobbit. So true to the book unlike LotR, but I suppose thats what you get when you turn one book into three films! If you're reading this, you might have gathered that I'm somewhat nerdy. I'm proud! I'm practically a Tolkien fanboy, even if I throw The Silmarillion across the room due to sheer frustration. Thorin. Hot. Kili. Hot. Man. I developed a dwarf fetish that week. I already had a thing for Legolas, but I digress!

Leaving Middle Earth for a while, I recebtly purchased Bioshock: Infinite. Brilliant. My lesson planning has failed due to this amazing game. I loved the first Bioshock, but wasn't too much of a fan of the second one. The change of scenery and the female companion has made the game that much more interesting, let alone the questions I have about the character you are playing.

Well, my time here is up! Pub Quiz is calling. Captain Fantastic and the Rum Drinking Pirates, it's your turn to win!
