Billericay School – SpeakUp!

Really not the editor’s letter   In the lessons that I am now able to use to write these articles for whoever actually reads these ramblings the site manager often asks the editor to write an updated version of the editor’s letter. Let it be known that it is a rare day that I finish [...]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had to put my finger on one thing I truly hated. I mean something I hated more than anything else in the world. More than corruption, than torture, than crime. It would be those people who ask for your solutions to a problem after you rant. The people who ask what your [...]

The cognitive dissonance of a sleep deprived mind   Happy people are boring. There I said it. When you get those people who are just happy generally, they become just far less interesting. I’m sure there are people who disagree, but when you are at least part bored doing almost anything, like rollercoasters, or with [...]

The 18 year trial Some people, who are able to actually watch the news for more than five minutes, may be aware of a certain person who was murdered 18 years ago based on the colour of his skin. I won’t mention his name, because if you don’t know who I’m talking about, then you [...]

Alky I really wanted to do one of these based on the people I see on the way to school each day. There is the dog with the emo fringe that is being walked by a mother and small child with a bigger small child behind who always looks upset. There is the miscellaneous ginger [...]

How to hate yourself no more If any of you who are or are not reading this remember, a while ago, I wrote a post here called “how to hate yourself”. This caused a few questions to be raised, and actually some laughter. That’s all very well when you do hate yourself, but it’s just [...]

The only 3 films to ever annoy me part 1   The hangover part 2:   Don’t see this movie. Just don’t. It is predictable and annoying even if you haven’t seen the first one. I didn’t, and I was told that the plot was exactly the same. This film did teach me 3 valuable [...]

(Apologies for the late publication of this post-Speak Up Ed.) A response to the response to what I said about suicide I suppose this is sort of an apology for what I said, but it’s more of a clarification of my position. Barnaby’s response mentioned that I had a contradictory argument, and that there was [...]
