I have just noticed that the excellent cartoon devil that had been painted in the skateboarding area on the South Bank (along with a birthday cake and the words "06.06.06 - Go Satan, It's Your Birthday") has been almost completely obscured by a giant silver tag of very little merit. They could have waited until I'd remembered to photograph it, surely... I'm sure it's on Flickr somewhere, but it's just not the same. Truly, this is a slightly annoying thing.

The Earthly goD is willing to be held answerable for those times that your Heavenly Father has forsaken you………

Who is the Earthly goD?
The Earthly goD is an entity that existed on earth, has been on earth, has lived on earth, and so truly understands how you gone thru a life that sucks on earth. Since the creation of the universe, hE has play a part in the creation of the sky and earth under the instruction of the Heavenly Father. And mind you, this a hell of a daunting task. You see, at the very beginning, the sky and the earth existed as a combined entity that is inseparable. The Eathly goD has to used an axel axe to spilt up the sky and the earth. After the task was completed, the axel axe has remain lost in the civilization of mankind. What could still be said was the closest thing which could lead to the rediscovery of the axel axe lies in
(i) the engine room of the ship that spilts ice sheets
(ii) the process that the atom is spilt
(iii) the separation of the northern lights into its constituent components
The Earthly goD has hidden great blessings for anyone who possess the zeal to undertake the task to finding the axel axe again. The Earthly goD promises…..HE empowers…….

Having lived on earth for times that seem to go on infinity, the Earthly goD has adopted an ordinary lifestyle so as to fully understand and assist any human in distress. HE believes in God as any other human, hE prays as any other human, hE believes and pray to the Gods of every other religions (hE believes in everything); like some egoistic people, hE sometimes self-promote hiS status, hE engage in worldly affairs.

Why Life Sucks?
The Earthly goD speaks, “Haven’t you went thru hardship that you think is impossible in the past, yet you emerged unscathed? Look at you now, didn’t you come out of the hardship in one piece? Every difficulties you encountered, you emerged victorious. Otherwise how do you think you could be sitting here reading this script? The past hardship which seem so overwhelming at that times, didn’t you went thru them and survived? Otherwise where would you be right now? So hE say, “Trust in your Heavenly Father and everything would be alright.
Remember those times where we prune hedges together, or when I appear as a normal human being to shake your hand and befriend you……..and those time when I appear as a low-class human to let you vent all your anger on me so many thousand times, and let you scold me some more……like when you shout at your parents and friends…….you are shouting at your Heavenly Father……

We don't actually have hedges but, if we did, we'd probably pay a "low class human" to prune them for us.

Doesn't everyone want a French Fancy?

More importantly were they ever called Fondant Fancies or was that something someone made up?

Why do we say axe-murderer? If someone shoots someone they're not a gun-murderer. And surely an axe murderer would be one who murders axes, right?

It's like the sense of annoyance I get when I hear Harold Shipman referred to as "Britain's Worst Serial Killer". C'mon, the guy was up in the hundreds!!! About thirty of your Dennis Nilsens!!! That doesn't say amateurish Eddie The Eagleness to me, much as Britain may love that kind of thing. Britain's Worst Doctor, maybe, but you've got to admit he was pretty good at the whole serial killing thing.

But yes. A MAN WOULD LOVE A FRENCH FANCY.

I thought the whole goD thing was leading up to an Axel Axe guns'nfuckingroses pun at the end, no such luck.

I am slightly irritated by my inability to have a really long screen name. And the suspense about what's in Haus' crate.

Just failed a student for the course I've been teaching, even though he was right on the border. Odd thing is that his identical twin passed easily. Anyway, now I'm waiting for him to come and see me, since he wants to talk it through despite my assurances that it won't change - I've spent about an hour discussing his case, and the rules just won't bend enough apparently. Its really shit for him, I realise, but its a downer and a time drain for me. Self centred, I know, but I've been doing this all day and its wearing me down a little bit.

Oh man. The guy was welling up and everything, and when I asked my course leader for advice I didn't realise that she would get rather heavy about it - I'm at the extreme soft end of the spectrum, so it was a bit of a shock. That was slightly worse than a mild irritant.

How did she get heavy Lurid? Telling you off for not handling it well, or what?

So sorry. That's a horrible thing to have to do. In similar situations I try to think of the other students, whose efforts and skills would be invalidated if blah blah. Then I cook comfort food and shout 'IT'S NOT MY FAULT!' at it.

No, she didn't tell me off, Jub (she is always extremely pleasant to me). That would have been ok, if a little harsh given my new-ness and the fact I am a foreigner. No, she got heavy on the student, who made some noises about challenging the mid-term, and was told not to and that we might even lower the mark if he started complaining too much - this was clearly an exaggeration, but it pretty much sums up the mood of the conversation. I can see what she was doing, of course. In order to be even handed, you have to stick to the rules and to do that, you have to discourage the students who you have decided have failed, even if it seems close.

I don't like it, not one bit. The worst part was at the end when he asked me if I would be teaching him next term if he repeats (I will), communicating that he thought I was a good teacher. Because I can't help shaking the feeling that my not being totally fluent didn't help his chances at all.

Good advice, Ex. I need some vegetables to scream at.

That's horrible, Lurid. I don't think I'd deal well with that at all.

yeah bummer. Thanks for the clarification. In fairness, it does sound like a horrid situation, but you seemed to have handled it well enough. WRT the student, don't feel bad - I mean, it's clear you graded him as you must - I don't think you grasp of the language has much to do with it as his twin did okay no? Don't beat yourself up too much LA.

At least it's not like on Battlestar Galactica, when Starbuck gave Zach a pass on his flying even though he was rubbish because she was sleeping with him and then he got killed.

Sorry, that probably doesn't help much, does it?

I've got into PMQ, it's pointless but it's only 30 minutes a week. I can't help but notice that when any female MP stands up the level of ambient noise in the chamber goes up and the level of apparent attention goes down, compared to when a male MP stands up. Of course, the questions are usually vacuous regardless of the sex of who's asking.

OK,My former boss just left for another better job on friday (I shall miss her, she was nice and a good boss), and now the new boss, who never, never worked with internet site journalism, has no clue whatsoever how to run the office. Anything can happen now, but for today it seems we, lowly servants, are going to rule this place!!!! Is this good? Is this bad? Time will tell. All I know for sure is that I procrastinated the whole freaking day and no one noticed it.

I'm having trouble accessing a breakdown of my Spanish results off the college website (as in they aren't showing up). This is annoying me as I have definitely failed some and will need to repeat (and study) but everyone is uncontactable.

In other news: My job although with access to the internet is absolutely diabolically poor in its training, I have been offered a move back to the familiar hell of banking and I'm almost bloody tempted. As I write this message I am indeed frowning very much.

I was so glad to find asparagus in this dreadful salad shortage we seem to be having that I forgot to check where it came from. I now know Chilean asparagus tastes like crap, and I have two big bundles of it to finish.

Well, it's been almost a month, and I'm still procrastinating my days away and still no one noticed.

I begin to feel guilty about it.
