M & S.

billboardI was driving down the M602 into Manchester last night and found myself very distracted by a billboard avertisement. Fair enough, it’s a busy spot and a lot of people see it, but posting an advertment that can only be viewed from a road seems a bit dangerous.

boobsEspecially when the billboard advertisement was a Marks and Spensers ‘Quality Worth Every Penny’ advert, which looked a lot like the advert to the right, except it was a cropped photo of the boobs.

For a woman is was very distracting, so I’m sure it’s even more so for men. They are a cracking pair, but they put a fear into me that people will be falling head over heels for them, or head under wheels when they crash from careless driving.

I don’t know, it just seems a bit silly.

Two Pints.

Francis has been fixed -but with a NON-Fiat windscreen *sigh*, looks alright though apart from a bit of a shoddy installation. On a side driving note, what’s with petrol prices slowly creeping back up?! It’s like 95p a litre :o rip off. I swear it was like 79p when I first started driving- back in my day!

In the middle of my exams at the moment, the end of my second year of uni. I’ve had five so far: Sociological Theory, Applied Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Women Representation and Realities, and Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology. Exams left: Cognitive Psychology, Neuropsychology, and Developmental Psychology. Considering last year, I pretty much failed because I didn’t do any coursework and I had to resit, I’m feeling more hopeful for this year. I even got a first in my Personality and Abnormality coursework, which I surprised myself with greatly!

Not really sure what else I have to blog, watched all episodes of Lost again and now I’m up to date, but to be honest it just blags your head with all the time travel shizzle. Also partly watching Spooks as Will has gotten into it, it’s not bad really.

I bought the Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps boxset series 1-6, only watched the first two episodes so far but it’s awesome. It was purchased last Saturday after a shopping binge, I’d had four exams in four days so I needed cheering up. I’m not doing too badly with the whole shopping thing at the moment -which is dangerous. Thinking of getting a new camera soon. I need to open a savings account really.

Bit dreary in Manchester currently, all the summer sun has gone in, and it’s just rainy and windy. Going to the lakes a week today (the bank holiday weekend) for a family camping trip, should be a laugh. Hopefully it won’t rain the whole time, that would be shit.

Anyway off to watch the third episode of Two Pints, and avoid revision.
