Captain Pete's New Horizon

     Last night was a bit weird, went out to a club in London for a mates birthday, it was called Cheapskates, bottles of Carlsburg for £1 and any single shot or mixer for 80p. The music was fairly good

     Needless to say loads of people got really drunk! I didn't get drunk but had a few. A few weeks ago I went to Koko in Camden for the first time in about ayear and a half, it was so awful, before it used to be full of indie scene kids, which was tolerable cos you could have a good dance around and have fun. Nowadays the place is a cattle market of scummy Essex types, 20-something blokes in blue jeans and white or pink shirts with the top buttons undone and the collars popped, short gelled hair, copping off with all the larger girls in the place, jumping around singing along to the well known song as if they were football chants in a stadium. There was not much dancing involved so much as using your arms to nudge people out of your breathing space and defend from the flying arms of drunken essex louts, as well as keeping your eyes on the ground to avoid the many glass bottles to be tripped on.

     Ahaha and as I type this I've just had a phone call from my good friend Laurence, asking if I feel like going out clubbing again tonight. I feel pretty up for it, my only hang up is I'M RUNNING OUT OF MONEY! I won't get paid until the Friday after next, I might be able to pull it off if I work a couple less days to save bus fare, and then don't go out until I'm paid again. Curse the cost of fun nowadays.

     Jaysus I am bored :s

Had an early finish at work today, which is normally a good thing on a friday, but for all the difference it made I might as well still be sat in that fucking court room

Thats what happens when you become single, yet all of your friends are still in lovely happy couple-y relationships.

And all of your friends have exams to revise for.

Nobody wants to go out at night! 

And who even reads this shit anymore?! 

Whooooaa haven't blogged in aaaages

last post was, July? krikey, hmm, what has happened since then...

in august I worked behind the bars at the Reading festival and I will be doing the same this year,as well as working at other festivals like Glastonbury and Latitude

in September I started a new job at a London Crown court as a member of the administrative staff

I turned 20 in November

split from my girlfriend in December

bought a stupidly expensive new guitar to make myself feel better (a wine red Gibson Les Paul with gold plated hardware)

And now i'm not really doing anything interesting, slowly getting through the application process to be a Royal Naval Officer, I could write some stories about my job, unfortunately however, working in a Crown Court I am bound by the Official Secrets Acts of 1911 and 1989, so you're out of luck...

Back in the day before we had many advanced medical treatments, in the event of an epidemic of some highly infectious disease like Cholera or some variety of deathly fever, people who suffered from it would be isolated, quarantined until they died or were cured of the infection. This often still applies today for very infectious diseases.

One of the worlds deadliest diseases, HIV/AIDS, passed on by exchange of bodily fluids, junkies sharing needles, unprotected sex, pregnant mothers and their unborn children, transfusions of tainted blood. 

It is a very dangerous disease, if you catch it, it's very likely you will die. Leprosy was another infectious disease that before modern treatments would be a certain death sentence, and people who suffered from it were kept in isolated colonies, to prevent it's spread to healthy people.

If such measures were applied to HIV/AIDS sufferers, the disease could potentially be wiped out within a generation, simply because it will not be passed on to anyone.

Why does no one do this? 

   Ch'yah wow I haven't blogged in a while, to be honest there hasn't been much to blog about, but fortunately, I've got my old job back at Coca Cola by way of my dear Fathers promotion at the factory, so you can look forward to the many crazy goings on behind the scenes of the worlds number 1 refreshment...

     I can't waaiit to get away on holiday, leaving for Spain on wednesday with my friends. Although my lovely ladyfriend will also be leaving for her holiday the day I get back from mine, this is a really rubbish situation, especially since we both have work during the days leading up to when I leave so we can't really see eachother for very long beforehand.

     Saw the new Harry Potter film with her aswell, It was a heck of a lot more watchable than the previous four films, still doesn't quite do the book justice, but for that to happen each film would have to be of Lord Of The Rings proportions, but it's worth seeing.

       On an unrelated note, Avril Lavigne has been stealing ideas? From the Rubinoos? Well, I think I speak for everyone with more than half a brain when I say Who gives a fuck?!  The Lavigne Song "Girlfriend" Looks and sounds like something Britney Spears shat out when she was a teen and has been scraped up from the bottom of her septic tank.

And who the fuck are the Rubinoos? Whoever they are, they are rubbish.
