Panic stocking ensures in UK, now women from York burnt by petrol- thanks to advise of Francis Maude

Now, following the advice of cabinet office minister Francis Maude can be costly. Already, a women in her 40s had suffered 40% burns. The women, from York was transferring petrol into Jerry cans in the kitchen, when the tragic incident occurs.

Cabinet Minister Francis Maude advised, earlier in the week on stocking up petrols in Jerry Cans. He had sinced retracted his advice.

Fire-fighters had cautioned against this piece of advice from Francis Maude, and even furthering suggesting that it is in fact, illegal to do so. According a Surrey Comet article, it is illegal to “more than a two suitable metal containers, each of a maximum capacity of 10 litres, or two plastic containers, of a five-litre maximum capacity.”

Jerry Can, which is potentially dangerous to store petrol in.

This comes days after the Coalition Government went into a slumber, first by introducing a ‘hot food tax’ to now, increasing panicking across the country. Drivers are actually stocking up on fuel, on advice of the government on a strike by fuel tank drivers over the upcoming Easter holidays- even when there had not been any official news.

In a country where the Coalition Government is now seen as ‘breaking apart’ the latest news to hit the country is the unexpected result of the by-election in Bradford West. George Galloway had won by a majority of over 10,000 votes, with labour coming in second. The Conservatives came in third.

The current government had also been slammed, for introducing the year’s budget of reducing child support, while reducing the company tax to 22%.

Random rabblings

I am suppose to rush and quick study for the one and only paper have. But being the only paper (and at the last day of the month), with heavy and drowning emotions certainly makes it less than idea to study. Right now, at the comfort of my house, with air-con and my favourite cup of tea (not coffee) and of course, aroma therapy (lemongrass and sandalwood) to hopefully make me study. I hate drawing mindmaps, I prefer to memorise and use my own examples to understand the stupid theory and concepts. Now I know I really regret getting into even a business course. It all is so theorised, which means if I’m not interested in any of them, I won’t study. And if I’m really interested, I also will not study them.

Ok, so now I am supposed to learn about retailing. Like the merchandise and whatever stupid boring theories. It is the only paper, and why can’t I even study? Ok, I am in so much trouble.

It is now exactly a week after the last day of the semester. I can dare say the class is one of the more unusual class with the most interesting tutors. Why so? Because I’ve never ever seen tutors who seemed genuine, as if they really care. Perhaps it is only their first semester or so. I have seen tutors who are just here for that 2 hours, pray hard you don’t e-mail me or anything like that. Even if I see you in public, I will not say hi to you type of person. Well, at least they made an effort to show that they care. Also, there are few bitches in the class who are always and forever bitching. Not few. I dare say none qualify as the class bitch. Why is that so? Bitches are cool, fun to be around with. And if you are on the wrong footing with them, expect a torment hell-like treatment from them forever.  What separates bitches from attention seekers is they know that if they bitch about others, others will bitch about them too. AND THEY ARE COOL ABOUT IT AND NOT MAKE A HUGE FUSS OVER THAT. NO BITCH FIGHTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. That’s why bitches are cool. Unless you cannot take any form of critic in your strike.   

Of people and revenged, revenge and remising the times

I did not know why I chose such a stupid title for this post. But I’ve not blogged in a long time, which I think now is the best time to do so. Else I’m afraid my blog ads will be stopped.

The last day had arrived. Hours of hard work, the sweat and blood toiled over the 2 semester had been burned, the times spent arguing and fighting and bitching with group mates and classmates. The time had arrived, to understand oneself truly and others.

Of running and evading away from the problem, and not coming with a solution. Of the back-stabbing person. Not forgetting the ones who claimed who they were, and yet, is such a let-down when I needed their help. And those whom I did not take a liking into, till now.

To that whom I’ve thought they were quite alright, but turned out to be such a monster. From those whom I thought can never be loved, till proven otherwise (and is proven). The few whom I pretended to care, those whom I cant be bothered.

Last day of this semester is quite one of extraordinary. Its more like a day to finally break ties. Well, since we are all changing classes next semester, thus it is perfectly alright to give some of them the cold shoulder. Frankly, I don’t really care for that nonsense I’ve put up. Keeping my fingers crossed I shall never be in the same class with them next semester.

New found respect gained, but it comes at such a late moment. The moment too late. Well, be better late than never.

I’m forever un-complacent with my intimate surroundings. But should I really care? Just like I’ve learnt to be emotionless as much as I could. Emotionless, meaning without attachment and feelings to anything. Any person or things. Since the best one could have are the fond memories.

:::Holby City:::

I’ve been catching up with all the fabulous shows airing at BBC iPlayer. Shows including Call the Midwife (starring Miranda Hart as Chummy), Casualty, Holby City and Mrs Brown’s Boys. But with the ever comedic sitcom having it’s finale, life sure is getting to be less boring.

Mrs Brown’s Boys seemed to be at most comedic, with little of entertainment value. The jokes are directed and delivered at Agnes Brown, however, isn’t the show supposed to end its run? It’s getting boring by the episode with the same jokes, ‘that’s nice’ and the squabbling between Agnes and Hilary.

Meanwhile over at Holby City, Ukraine F1, Dr. Petrenko had achieved the highest score for her F1 examination in the region. That puzzled her, as well as Hanssen. Although Holby did get their FT status ultimately after the plastic scandal, and Michael Spence is still being highly regarded by Hanssen. With now the position of clinical lead being open, Michael, I believed will try his best to get the role. And I really hope he get it, even though I hate his American accent. Hoping to CTU, Dr Valentine and Douglas had to cope without Hanssen’s favourite, Naylor and Sahira. 

At yet another different Holby, with differing cast members, well, that show can’t be compared to Holby City, but with Charlie being part of the cast, of course, it’s a must watch. If only both cast are the same for both shows, with some interaction between both shows.

Till then, I’m waiting for the new Doctor Who series, and the mind-blowing adventures the Ponds will have with the Doctor. Though I’m sure it’ll be heart breaking seeing our favourite companion, Rory and Amelia having to leave the series. I hope they didn’t die. The Doctor will be sooooo sad.

Hot 2012 trends

2012 had arrived, and some are in denial that 2012 haven exactly arrived (after being at the countdown). Below are some terminologies to prove you are living in the new year.

Timeline

The only timeline some might heard is their twitter timeline. Only now, Facebook had introduced timeline. And in 2012, timeline is going to be the buzz word. With social media sites using this word- timeline. To me, it is more of ‘stalking’ software. With the new facebook timeline, friends and subscribers can literally track what you are typing as status updates on your Facebook profile. Despite being the same word, twitter timeline and Facebook timeline are not the same.

Google Plus

Social media largely is being dominated by Linkedin, Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter. Now, with a new chip off the wall, Google Plus, it looks set that the social media scene is changing. With a new competitor, can users be able to fully comprehend and utilise both social media hand-in-hand successfully like how they use Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr simultaneously? And will Google Plus be of any hindrance to Facebook IPO (which is like $1 billion). Also, with the advent of loss of privacy and super injunction imposed, is there any legal ruling to enforce such in place in the cyber world?

Super injunctions

What is actually frustrating to all journalists is of this injunction imposed by celebrities. Some examples should be famous footballers like Ryan Giggs. Although traditional press are not able to report over the matter, but watch helplessly on Twitter, where thousands of netizens were actively twitting about Ryan Giggs, deliberating breaking his gagging order. I, of course, am no exception. What makes it worse, was that none of the twitter accounts were suspended. There is a grey area, which must to be address. When addressed, It meant that anyone with a restraining order should not follow him/her on all social media platform, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger and Path. Sound so fucked up.

Path

Path, one of a smartphone only social media platform to rival Facebook and twtter. It is known as a Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr all-in-one app. Currently accessible only via smartphones, industry observers are watching on, if it will be the next big thing. A surprise that my Internet Marketing tutor did not know of this Path. Epic fail, him.

9gag

When all the awesome post you find in the past is at tumblr. But now, it’s 9gag. Like a social media site, users can post pictures or interesting quotations relating to them freely on the site. You just need to log in using your Facebook accounts. With a vast topic covered, like Kim Jung Un, Russia 140% elections, this site is the place to go to spend your time in endless fun with memes, good guy Greg and irritating Facebook bitch. A warning, cuteness overload for some postings.  

2012

Here’s a youtube video found on my fb feed. Oh, and it’s now not called FB wall, it’s called timeline now, losers. Just like twitter timeline. Basically about 2 mad girl dancing at an Apple store.

Majority of projects are due soon (next week!!!). It seemed like it is going to be completed soon (idk why but I think we’re on track) with like 1 project meeting only and all other groupies have meetings almost every other tutorials (not joking…). Best of all, these meetings were ‘unproductive’ where they do not really do their work (piles of workload waiting to be done OTOT [own time own target].  Can totally understand how their daily meetings are really like…waiting for other members, slack for a while, play games, talk cock, type 3 sentences, go online for secondary research, discuss a bit of how’s the project’s like. And before you knew it, it’s the end of yet another day. To give them credit, a lot of creative ideas were conceived from such chit chat idle sessions.

Does everybody seemed to be mindful of their choice of words these days? Like all over again with the phrase (which I’m sick of hearing), PC- Political Correctness. I say PCGM- Political correctness Gone Mad. In this context of achieving/striving for PC, it is all madness. Well, pointing out somebody who isn’t PC, is already a case of breaking the PC law. Anyway, PC is so unwritten, and easy to break. And I’m thinking, now, it is political correctness gone mad. Such fun!

Another new phenomenon is that everyone’s back to minding your own business, walking straight to your journey. Looking ahead, and not turning the head left, right to observe however green the leaves are or the overcast skies. 2011 is where people stop and observe. Now 2012, everyone else is now minding their own business. Well, more or less so, but it can’t hurt you to stop and know the colour of the pavement you’re stepping on. Sooner or later, nobody will have an exact idea of the colour of the sky.

Entertainment wise, everything is still the same old hog. Raymond Lam won the TVB awards, Doctor Who is not cancelled (but confidential is) and Eastenders is the same old kitchen sink boring soap opera. You promised me broadway, why are we struck at Hollywood? But I’m dying to watch the new movie on Margaret Thatcher.

Doctor Who, Not Going Out, Miranda, Mrs Brown’s Boys and of course Holby Hospital (Casualty and Holby City) are or will be back to accompany me on 2012. But why on earth do they cancel How Not To Live Your Life? Life is so unfair. But as the saying goes, Cameron made the bed, and Nick is going to lie in it. Seemed like we are powerless against those controllers who have not a single faint idea what we want.

Cranberry Scones

Scones from Wild Honey...at $4.50 each before GST, it sure is kind of a steep price. However, the quality make up for the price, with the nice aroma as well as the juicy berries and the sweet jam.
