I aven't been up to much this wk. I went to the pub quiz on Wednesday and once again lost. I've been speaking to Tom quite a bit. He's enjoying Canada but he's finding Chemistry hard. He also has started to learn how to drive.
2morrow I go off to Cyprus :). The north Turkish bit. Kyrenia. Should be gd though we'll be mainly sunbathing which I find boring. I may go climb a mountain to keep myself active. I'm fully packed and ready to go. 2morrow I'm getting up at half 4 :( as the taxi is coming at 5.30. Then it's off to Heathrow terminal 5. Sadly, unlike last yr, I won't ave Internet so I won't be able to facebook or blog. How will I live?!? This is because r next door neighbour's villa (the one we had last yr) is currently being used so we r trying out a new villa and as we don't know the owners we can't access the Internet if they had any. We were able to get it last yr as r neighbours gave us the keys to all the secret places so we could set up the network. Oh well. So next time I'll speak to u is when I'll get back unless I go to an Internet cafe.
I get back on the 14 of August.
So till then BYE

cub camp and a lot of other stuff
I haven't done any blogging in a while and I've been up to a lot so sit back and enjoy a gd read of my recent life.
I'll start with Friday the 9thy when Alex came round mine for the 1st time in absolutely ages. We mainly played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.
Over the wkend I didn't do much a part from relaxing but i spent Monday watching 3 hrs of Arthur. I didn't intend this to happen. I just wanted to watch the hr long u stink/ we stink band ep so I was looking on wiki to see what it was called only to see that there was another hr special about Christmas and a CGI movie. So i decided to watch all 3 on youtube. Both specials were amazing especially cause the Christmas one referenced Mario. Then it was time for the CGI movie that was hardly a movie due to it being 70 mins long. The problem was, although it was still funny and Arthur at heart, it was in CGI which meant the characters look v different such as here is Arthur's mum. Also they over use jokes such as Buster is on roller-skates crashing into everything for 20 mins. It was enjoyable though.
Monday evening I watched Eclipse which was also enjoyable even if the acting was atrocious. It's definitely the best out of the 3 but that's not that hard to achieve. The fight scene was quite gd and the whole tent scene was hilarious. Just go to it thinking it's a comedy and u may also survive it which is y I laughed so much at Edward's terrified face. Story wise it was also gd but Bella was still as indecisive as ever.
Tuesday I had a family gathering with all my relatives and on Wednesday it was once again time for the pub quiz at the White Horse. There was team N/A consisting off Saff, James, Bass, Zoe, Laura, Jacob and Hannah. There was also team lettuce consisting of me, Alex, Ollie, Eliot Max, Jared, Adam. Lettuce lost :( and N/A came 3rd to last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday was just another day full of relaxation.
Friday and the wkend I spent at a cub camp. there were 38 cubs and 10 leaders and we all stayed at Marwell activity centre. Most of them were well behaved and a few got homesick but not the ones we expected to. The cubs did canoeing, zip wire, an aerial adventure thing and Q bikes. I also got to have a go on a 3g swing as they double booked the zip wire so they moved the cubs onto the swing and there was time at the end for me to ave a go. It's basically just a ginormous swing. Us leaders weren't v happy with the Marwell centre.They offered meals so we decided to have both teas there so we didn't ave to cook or wash up. But everything was either over or under cooked significantly and the portions were small. Also originally all the cubs were going to do the 3g swing but apparently it would of overran its slot even though when one group did have a go there was enough time for me to have a go. Also there were some people who camped next to us who knew some of the staff and they were allowed to do anything. Now we think they booked the zip wire on Sunday and got it because of this. Also they didn't stop using the 3g swing which maybe y we weren't allowed to. Anyway I had a gd time and so did all the cubs and leaders.
Monday i did nothing other than catch up on sleep I lost over the camp and Tuesday I went to see Toy Story 3 in 3d IMAX. It was amazing and worth the extra price as the screen was massive. The film is beautiful and v emotional. We all had a few teary eyed moments. But sometimes they were happy tears and other times they were sad tears. just go watch it as it's still toy story and it's as gd as the other two.
And well that's it. tonight I'm off to the pub quiz to probably loose again but oh well

The Snorlaxes (ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ)
Hi there.
I'm still enjoying my holidays mainly by keeping myself busy. On Tuesday I saw Sherk 4/ the last chapter/ forever after. It wasn't awful but neither was it gd. Not much really happened and everything ended happily. It's the worst film out of the 4 but it's still enjoyable and will have u laughing quite a lot. Story though is pretty weak. It was a nice end to the tale of Shrek but that was about it.
On Wednesday a load of us went to the White horse to have a pub quiz. There were so many of us (16 in fact) that we ended up being in two equal teams of 8. In my team was Alex, Kiel, Steve, Sarah, Hannah, Bass and Zoe. We called ourselves 'The Snorlaxes' and the other team consisting of Emily, Adam, Andy, James, Saffron, Laura, Emma and Doug called themselves N/A. There were 3 other teams and about 10 rounds. In the end the Snorlaxes lost :( as N/A beat us by 2 points. The other 3 teams did a lot better than us though they were made up of the older generation which most of the questions were for. We r probably going to do the same next wk.
Today I'm just relaxing and 2morrow Alex is coming round mine :)
Now for something completely unrelated, Doctor Who. I realise this finished a few wks ago but I take a while to talk about these things. Overall I liked this series. The new doctor is awesome. Sure he's not up to the standard of Tennant but I didn't expect him to be. The episodes around the weeping angels were outstanding and the 2 part finale was v enjoyable. Sure there were some bad eps like the Darleks one and the ending to the Vincent Van Goth one was horrible. I like the new writer as he's funnier. But I still have one problem with Doctor Who which is that it's a children's programme. Stephen Fry recently said 'they're very good children's programmes, don't get me wrong, they're wonderfully written … but they are not for adults' (this was about Merlin and Doctor Who). Ever since Doctor Who has been back for these 5 series it's felt more and more like a child's programme. This series was the worst. The children already have the Sarah Jane adventures. Us adults used to have Torchwood which wasn't a child's show but that has now ended. An example of this problem is that my cubs who's ages run from 7-10 all watch Doctor Who which shouldn't be he case. so make doctor who more adult.
Anyway enough about that

The Beach!!!
Hello again
I'm slowly starting to get bored of all this free time I have and I aven't yet been able to successfully hibernate.
Anyway since I spoke to u last I have been v busy. On Wednesday (the 30th) I went to a party round Alex's to celebrate the end of exams. I had a gd time but a lot of people seemed a bit depressed. We met a nice new guy called josh and we got told off by some neighbours. I got back home quite late (around 2) but my parents didn't seem to mind.
Thursday I just relaxed and Friday I went to the beach!!!!!!!!!!! I had a great time though I got a bit burnt. It was surprisingly sunny even though it was supposed to rain. We had a gd time at Bournemouth beach until we were attacked by a massive pack of seagulls all because of a few chips. We also buried Stephen in the sand. On the way back to the train station we nearly missed the train. Actually two of us (Emily and Laura) did. I only just got on but I felt the door closing against my shoulder. A second later and I wouldn't of got on. But they were able to get a train not soon after. Overall the day at the beach was brilliant.
I've spent this wkend doing absolutely nothing. I played the new doctor who game called the blood of the cybermen which was quite gd. Also i spent a bit of today talking to tom over Skype. His 10 hr flight went fine though it was delayed by 3 hrs. He's ok just v tired. He starts uni 2morrow so that he can get up to the standard that everyone else is at. I'll speak to him again in a few days time :)
2morrow I'll just spend relaxing and being a leader at cubs
