hello again, it has been a while and well very damned little has happened except well i have passed a couple of my As-level exams..... and failed the majority of the other ones, so win some lose some. im re-attempting them and hopefully getting an improved mark in them. Also im not going parting anymore, poor little me. Its because i want to save cash for an oxygen ticket. So i'll probably post a lot more in the absence of excessive alcohol.

for a book review, I'm thinking "The Reaper Man" by Terry Pratchett. its another of the satirical and sensationally funny Discworld series, this installment sees Death late for work... well apart from being, well, Death. hes gone missing and his unlucky manservant Albert needs to find him...

Miles away in a remote farmtown in the Ramtop mountains, an old woman has found a new employee and he's a bit on the thin side...


Thats all i got folks, and probably i'l be back in a couple of days with more.

Well. Its been a little while since i last posted. and a whole lot has been happening. I've gotten round to finally learning computer coding languages, i'm officially out of debt from my sister (it was worse than you could imagine) and im actually working in classes. A delicate medium of drink,games,work and friends is being maintained with little effort.... also i have found the joys of minecraft.

the book of the day is Mort. by Terry Pratchett. i love that man... this has Death recruiting a young lad from the mountains as an apprentice... but apprentices eventually become masters and Death aint going to die any time soon so a deads end job in my opinion.
Well anyway, Mort goes with Death and quickly picks up the tricks of the trade, excepth the part where you shouldn't fall in love with your clients... definatly tough in his line of work when everyone eventually dies, but he falls in love and attempts to save her. He does but he doesnt know the repurcussions of this rash action and accidentally opens up a shrinking parrallel reality, time is running out and the princess (the girl he saves)  is being ignored and forgotten when she's still alive a ""royal" outrage. As time repairs itself, Mort and Death end up quarrelling and fighting, which Mort loses spectacularly. yet Death, as usual shows a compassion streak unnatural to the immortaland has a "chat" with the gods. then mort has a choice... the princess or deaths daughter (dont ask).....
