Logic, obviously.

Today I learned some wonderfully interesting facts about middle English language and dialect and it's bearing in today's language. Or at least, I would have, if it weren't for an intense set of races drawing my attention. Races in which I participated in, competing violently with a huge monkey and a moonlighting Italian-American plumber. For any of you out there who do not understand the reference, shame on you, I blame your parents.

After being told that we need not make notes in lectures and that everything we need is available to read online, it begs the question. What really is the point? Many people, myself amongst them, find lectures a tedious waste of time. We can just as easily teach ourselves at home, with more willingness and less early mornings. A prime example of the sheer pointlessness of some lectures was outlined with crystal clarity for me on Thursday morning at 9am, the lecturer stood at the front and genuinely said the words, "A proper noun, begins with a capital letter." Well. I wanted to run down the isle and punch him in the face, or at least join the queue to do so. All said though, I suppose I can take some consolidation in the fact I'm not having to pay £12,000 for this waste of time, unlike those wanting to go to University in 2012, you poor buggers.

Unfortunately, seen as I have delved someway into politics there, I shall continue on the subject of the spending cuts. Now before any of my left wing colleagues prepare to throw their organic tofu at me, I do have mixed views on the subject, not complete agreement. Firstly, the Conservatives are doing exactly what they said they'd do, which is cut public spending, and it is necessary, no matter what people say. So in that, I congratulate them for having the balls to be so ruthless and give them a pat on the back.

In the same swing, I take back that pat and sock Mr Cameron in the jaw. Defence cuts? Good lord! Leave us without a pot to piss in why don't you? If anyone can fathom the following, please explain it to me: We are decommissioning the HMS Ark Royal, and building not one, but two aircraft carriers to put in her place. One of which, the HMS Queen Elizabeth, will be mothballed after only a mere three years service, what's the point? It also poses the question, why bother with aircraft carriers when there's no sodding aircraft to launch from them? We originally planned to purchase 138 top of the range fighter jets. We're now buying only 40, and a sub-standard version of what everyone else has. One of the aircraft carriers will only launch American and French jets as we don't have enough. Get your own carriers. I wonder how long it will be before the army resorts to slingshot and stone?

I apologise for the more political level this post has taken, but I feel better for writing it.

Usual service will resume shortly.
