Where’s my shotgun???

…So you want to strike for 12 CONSECUATIVE DAYS – over my dead body!
My response to Len McCluskey, head of the union, is:
unless you call off this absurd strike, i am going to hunt you down and FORCE you to call off the strike unless you want to be shot by me and several other thousand people in the queue of angry people.
(Obviously, for legal reasons I must say the following: - I will in no way actually follow through with the plan/statement stated above)
So that's my anger out for this minute, but now to decide what to do…

British Airways - British Failways

… and so those stingy people (aka BA Cabin Crew) are going on strike on a vote 9-1 in favour. They get paid almost double than some airlines, e.g. Virgin Atlantic. BBC News asks if the public are going to be sympathetic towards them. I know I wont be – even if they don't affect when I’m flying.
So as I sit here waiting for the ‘official’ press conference and strike dates, I wonder why they cant accept change, because if they don't, BC might have to make even more drastic action – or go bust :(
Well, I'll just have to wait and see…

So there you, you here it here first, us students have it bad

32 Rules

… and so during a lecture, I decided to contemplate on a film I finally managed to watch – Zombieland. This then inspired me to write my own list for survival for when (and if) a Zombie apocalypse happens. I based it on the one from the film, and improvised for the gaps – I think they might keep me alive:
#1 – Cardio
#2 – The Double Tap
#3 – Beware of Bathrooms
#4 – Seatbelts
#5 – Nothing is too brutal
#6 – The Skillet
#7 – Travel Light
#8 – Get A Kickass Partner
#9 – Music lures
#10 – Stay sober
#11 – Lights attract
#12 – Bounty Paper Towels
#13 – Everything's unlucky
#14 – Exhale slowly, squeeze the trigger
#15 – Bowling Ball
#16 – Swiss Army Knife
#17 – Don’t Be A Hero
#18 – Limber Up
#19 – Double-knot your shoelaces
#20 – Always carry a change of underwear
#21 – Avoid Strip Clubs
#22 – When In Doubt, Know Your Way Out
#23 – It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Unless it is a sprint, then sprint
#24 – Don't get attached
#25 – Shake Them Off
#26 – Think 4x4
#27 – Don't Count On It
#28 – GPS is your only True friend
#29 – The Buddy System
#30 – Never Give Up
#31 – Check The Back Seat
#32 – Enjoy The Little Things
So those are my “32 Rules for Survival.” I suppose that they kind of work, maybe a few tweaks are needed, and of course input is always welcome, and you also welcome to take my list and use it for yourselves – who knows, we may meet up and become each others Rule #8.
So I think I might try and tune back into the lecture “Databases: x Normal Forms”, even though its GCSE/A-Level stuff…
