Thoughts on the riots and other delaying tactics.
Well the riots are still going on. My heart goes out to all those suffering in London because of them. This is the result of a country angered by the restraints and unecessary regulation placed upon it. Don't turn on them like they're wild folk who can't listen to reason. They're angry. And they deserve to be, though I cannot condone giving into that anger in such a violent way.
Ahem. Anyway....in an hour or so I will be catching my train to Stoke to collect my last interview. And then wednesday night.....ugh don't even want to think about it. needless to say you're likely to be getting another coffee/desperation fuelled entry from the Sadie room to clutter up your friends pages. Sorry about that ;^_^
