all I really want to do is build a house in the jungle

I'm currently in my second year of an Aberdeen University petroleum geology degree. The prospects seem fine if I am able to get a good degree (if I work harder - which I doubt), I just don't see how I can get the enthusiasm to keep going with this stuff. When ever I hear about other people seeing the world I get impatiant, can I hold out for the next 18 months? All I want to do is go away skiing for a season (like my brother) or climb some mountains and camp on islands of the malaysian coast (like a friend). I hear stories from these people and feel a need to dissappear from this gray city, can't wait until I finish....

what is a true friend?

You never talk about a friend behind his back in a degrading way.

A friend always comes first, above yourself .

"A friend is someone you can talk to, someone who'll listen, who's always there for you and who doesn't necessarily expect you to be always there for them, who's always willing to help you when you're down and try and keep you going when you're up and look out for you all the time-and is never afraid to point out mistakes on their friend's part" - Simon Harley

tin with can opener vs. tin with easy open pull

This world is full of to many bloody do-gooders. By do-gooders I mean wannabe do-gooders where all the good they really wanna do is do good for themselves so they can feel good about doing good for others. Wannabe do-gooders do good things like buy organic do-gooder products coming from organic doing-good for money UK farms. These doing good for money do-good farms are doing good in my opinion on the bones of the not so do-good people the do-gooders feel they are doing good for outside the do-gooders wall of protection against the people they pretend to good for.
The do-gooders I talk about are the ones who say we should do good things like do-good for the world under the supposed do-gooder party's (the do-good party is always the one out of power as the do-gooders i'm talking about can never lead a country - a country is led by do-ers, people who don't always do the things that make them a do-gooder but sacrifice do-gooder popularity in the name of good).

Why can't all cans of baked beans and custard have an easy open pull on them?

A question asked by many, one of the dark secrets of western civilization, a secret guarded so secretly by the supremo's of this society that no one, so far, has dared delve into.

I sit in a dark corner of a scruffy room littered with unread papers, empty draws and a pile of ever growing dirty clothes; I'm at the University of Aberdeen and am currently here with the pretence of studying geology. In the small moments of quite isolation that come around 2:30am every morning I begin to wonder, I wonder what has happened to this once proud country, a country once hailed as one with more influence over the globe than any other. A country I call Great Britain.

We've had some of the greatest men ever to live on this planet born in our land; Isaac Newton, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Horatio Nelson and Jesus to name but a few. Yet today the streets are littered with neds (and their sengas), moshers and old people in buggies who think it's their god given right to speed at 50mph along the pavements mowing down anyone in their way.

How can we save ourselves as a people? How can we stop embarrassment's like England hyping up every football tournament, to loose in the early stages of the knockout phase? How can we stop Scotland loosing to Holland 6:0? How can we let Austria and Switzerland take holding the next European cup from our grasp when all they are known for is melted cheese, yodeling and sucking up to the Germans whenever anything suits them?

We need to invade Belgium, this shall be the answer to all our miserable problems, If we show the world that we mean business by invading a small shitty country we can surely spark some national pride back into the slobs that disgrace our streets. Belgium is a country who don't even include our participation in WWII for their advanced schooling text books as they think "everyone knows the U.K took part anyway". Off coarse to me Austria would be the best choice but due to the fact that to take them we would have to advance through some other central European countries it can't be done yet.
