shattered. my PGCE is throwing up way more questions than answers at the mo. generally good fun though.

started my PGCE today not sure what to make of it yet. very small group and im not convinced it's totally secure as a course yet. nice to have most of the registration nonsense done with. really want this yr to go well

Been nailing the Hitchcock films recently. Quality. The Man who knew too much Psycho Vertigo Rear Window North by North West all awesome, had seen Psyvho before but the others all 1st time. I tend to watch classics rather than the tripe you tend to get at the cinema Toy Story 3 was good mind.

yeah i'd say so. bit sick of them now but a good band and would recommend if you don't really know them. loved them when i first saw them supporting the shins in 2007

thanks pal i hope you're right. i'm just a bit shell shocked having spent so long preparing for this, especially over the last couple of weeks with pre-course tasks and what not. 6 days before i start just seems crazy. but cheers for your optimism, and yes it could end up being a blessing in disguise. thanks again I can't exactly remember now mate. I was told but was so stunned a lot of the call i got didn't go in. I think it was this particular course at this particular uni/college, but not sure.

well I was aspiring to teach the Creative and Media Diploma to 14-19 year olds but that's not gonna happen!! So yeah, a media teacher I guess, maybe with some SEN work. Fingers crossed

cheers guys, i really mean that. Yeah it was a PGCE, the college are hastily setting up another, different one for start next week (!). It was the Creative and Media Diploma but the Government have cut all funding. So a Media PGCE is being drawn up. OK for me (although it's still quite different in many regards and still a shock to the system) as I did it at A-Level. Some people on the course will have come from art/textiles/dance backgrounds so i guess it's even worse for them...either way, i'm not doing the course i've been wanting too for the last few years! Again, cheers for your kind words folks

cheers bud, the college is arranging another similar course, so it's not all bad. but it's obviously not what i'd intended to do. unfortunately there's no other option, except wait another year to choose another course which i'm not gonna do as i've already waited to do this for 3 years!

I started next Wednesday. Was a year long course. Had it lined up for the last 10 months nearly. Left my job for it

btw before anyone comes in and gets all pro-conservative, please don't bother. not right now at least.

Bad day. Got up hoping to get tickets for a gig (£75), backed out as they went on sale cause i'm skint and need to save for my teacher training which starts next week... ...get a call at 5pm from my uni saying The (F**king) Tories have stopped funding my course with immidiate effect, and that it's no longer running. With 6 days till I start, and after 3 years of working towards it. Sorry, but if you voted Conservative you should be ashamed of yourselves. People thought Labour messed this country up...not even close

Woke up early after all the Waggy talk last night. Got straight on;line (about 7.30) and basically stayed there all day. The deal looked on and off so many times! Ultimately worth it. Went to the gym and did some food shopping, watched some Alan Partridge, but basically sat by my comp and waited...and waited!

pube with poo on it. bad times!

Ah cheers guys, can't really take a bad pic of those places!

here's some from my travels last year... (somebody will have to tell me how to do this if it hasn't worked...i'm using photobucket )

the names of those bands scare me alone

26 songs would be a pretty big album. and I'm loving the idea of a new track every fortnight. keepin things real fresh.

Just got tickets to see Ash next month Not sure if anyone here is in to them but they're doin somethin pretty cool soon. A new single every fortnight for a year, 26 songs, A-Z tour around the UK. Ad for the whole thing which has got me tres excited: first of the songs here - also a free download on their website, 'Return of the White Rabbit', really good tune. (no they're not paying me)

Thought the Damned Utd was pretty good but like is usually the case, nothing compared to the book which was far more detailed, intriuging and slightly dark.

Anyone seen/mentioned Looking for Eric on here? My word, it's outrageously brilliant.

anyone seen Somers Town yet? thought that was good. obviously watch This is England too if you haven't yet.

hmmm they're trying too hard. Adele's a twat.

fair play to him if there are people out there prepared to buy it!! good luck craig!!

yeah i thought Superbad was really lame!! Good if you're under 16, otherwise nothing special/funny at all imo

Lucas of Liverpool and Jimy Bullard are identical if anyone wants to put a pic up?!?
