Sorry I haven't updated for a while, been a bit busy!!
Haven't got much news! what a suprise! Break up for Half term (all 3 days of it!!) on Friday, but still it will be nice to chill out for a few minutes before the exams start!
I have been looking at some Useless Yet Interesting Facts! Here are a few for you!

1) When Coca-Cola began to be sold in China, they used characters that would sound like "Coca-Cola" when spoken. Unfortunately, what they turned out to mean was "Bite the wax tadpole". !

2)Julius Caesar was self-conscious about his receding hairline!!! How they know that i do not know!!

3)An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.

4)Most toilets flush in E flat.! what???!!!

5) Australian Rules football was originally designed to give cricketers something to play during the off season. Mmm! Maybe the England cricketers were too busy playin Ozzy Rules rather than concentrating on what they were meant to be doing!

6)Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. How rude! ;)

7)Pentheraphobia is a fear of a mother-in-law!

Well, there we have it! so interesting facts for you! I'm not sure how many are actually true! but i found some quite amusing!! .... xxxxxx :)

Well, I've landed back on earth safely from my Prince's polo dream world! hehe only kiddin!

Still busy at school and have just realised that there is only 2 weeks left til my 1st exams!! arggggg! but then at the same time i have realised that there is only 6 weeks til i leave school for ever! and although i think i may be a bit sad, i have been at the same school for 11 years!(except the 30 days i spent at York college for girlies before it shut down!) so i think it is about time i was leaving! Anyhow, had a nice night last night, we had a meet the parents sesh, with sarah's mum, dad and sister and mum, dad and me and of course Pete and Sarah! We went to La Piazza (the place we all went for my 18th) It was really nice to meet them! and it went really well too! :)

I don't think I have much more news! Arsenal won the FA cup again! what a shame! I really wanted southampton to win! but it didnt happen! A funny thing happend when i woke up this morning, I have got a picture of Joe proped up on my clock on the wall and when i woke up he had flopped forward and it looked like he was looking at me! it looked really funny! I suppose you had to be there! Well have just got to pop up to Monks X now for a bit of retail therapy before I get down to some more work!.....xxxx :)
