Most of the mistakes coresd by my dyslexia will be left in for a good old laugh.(It reads like im a monky) Im not sticking to one theme, just my many interests. Happy reading.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger63125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202309479669901617.post-42566762253313730782011-12-31T14:15:00.002+00:002011-12-31T14:15:55.377+00:00why do blogs some blogs faile?OK it looks like this blog has totaly diead, but i wold love to give it a new lease of life, so i think its about time i did a post on why blogs fail.<br />
<br />
The first reson is often peple blog about stuff that dosnt intrest them, or somthing that will only intrest them for a small amount of time. This blog dostn have a fixt subject, it is just a comontry on how unstanderd spelling is not as bad or "rong" as peple think.<br />
<br />
Another reson I think is peple try to blog to much, so much so that they run out of subjects/topics to post about, It is good to have a brake every so often and then come back with fresh idiars.<br />
<br />
Or it just comes down to lazyness, not puting much work into it, but if you pick a subject that you are pashanat about it shodnt feel like work it will just be you shering your intrests.<br />
<br />
Becaus i dont like to put all of my eggs in one basketi tryed to branch out with new blogs with set subjects, funfairs, computers, gaming and spase explaraton for example but i just codnt seem to get into them and ended up dileting them, lets hope this blog isnt going to die compleatly.<br />
<br />

I was a little anoyed by this. I then tryed to ring up ther custemer suport number but it was anounced by a recorded message on the other side of the line that it was 'tempareraly unavalable'. This got me quite anoyed, but after trying about half and hower later i managed to get thure to some one. The lady on the end of the phone quite happaly after taking some detales quite happaly sent out the chaser, that i was suprized that it came the very next day by roil mail. thanks very much maplins.<br />
<br />
Roilmail or roil snail as it has been nicknamed by a few peple have suprized me over the last cupple of months, I have had quite a few packeges sent with them and they have all been extreemly quickly. well done roil mail.<br />

Webhosting can often be expencive. Ther are a cupple of free web hosts that I woold not recomend at all, for example <a href="http://webs.com/">webs.com</a> that used to be freewebs.com, sirveses like this ofer a very limited package, not much avalable bandwidth, storage ext. <br />
<br />
but ther is some grate free webhostes out ther:<br />
<a href="http://blogger.com/">blogger.com</a> - grate if you want to host a free blog, just like this one. A blog is a small website, that alows you to post posts. blogger isnt realy a good chose if you want a website.<br />
<br />
If you want a free host that offers PHP and mysql databases ther isnt much choyse, personaly i use <a href="http://www.x10hosting.com/">x10hosting</a> for this sort of funconality. thes sites are ad free and have potenculy unlimited disck space and bandwidth. Ther isnt meny servises that can offer this. The one draw back i find with x10 is you have to visit ther forums quite offtern or your files will start to be deleted. This is just like having a payed for profeshanal host but it is for free. I wold not recomend this if you don't have much HTML knolage as if you are yousing this you are most lightly going to be building your website from scrach.<br />
<br />
If you don't have much coding knolage you might be intrested in <a href="http://sites.google.com/">google sites</a>. This form of doing it is very comunity based, it is more of a shoshal site, but the grate thitng about it is that you get a esy to use WYSIWUG editer, grate if you dont have much coding knowledge or if you just want to mock up a site quicly insted of having to program your site from scrach.<br />
<br />
Althow ther is lots of grate free hosting services out ther i dont think that they will ever replace compleatly a payed for host, thar serveses are just to good.<br />
<br />
happy website disine.<br />

Ther is alot more intresting stuff on the web that alot of you think dont egist. Hear is my top 3 list of how to find intresting stuff on the web.<br />
<ol><li>looking for somthing? google it. this is the most ovias way of finding somthing new, serch a serchenjon. but you can also use other serch enjons to find difrent things, like <a href="http://www.google.com/blogsearch">google blog serch</a> for example this helps you to find blog posts that might intrest you. Happy serching.</li>
<li>Use <a href="http://www.twitter.com/%20">twitter</a>, look on whats trending, google it and find out what it is, you might find some stuff you dint know about. also you might like to try <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/%20">stumbleupon</a> this is a sirvies that helps you find websites in a similar way.</li>
<li>try <a href="http://randomwebsite.com/">randomwebsite.com</a>. This is a servise that you click on a link and you are taken to a random website, but plese be cerfull and have a up to date anti virus pakage installd. Also thes sigts may not be toatlay 'apropriat' but its still a grate way to find new sites, but ples be cerufll.</li>
</ol>That was my top three, feel free to add your own in the coments thread below, also you might want to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Georges-blabberings/191604920860508">like us on facebook.</a><br />

It is only in the erly days of bata testing and it is dificalt to say what the actual service will have to offer. It looks to me like they are going to be offaring free gaming servers, probably for use in multy player games for grupes of peple.<br />
<br />
I am looking forword to seeing what comes out of this and hope it is a grate sucsess, as having acsess to somthing like this for free will be amazing. Also it says in the about page that becaus ther is no long term contracts you can change hosts in a mater of howers not months. I have hige expectatons of the service as x10hosting have done some grate things in the past. <br />

First of all if you are building a super hige end gaming masheen, you can get a very lage reducon in price then buying the same rig off some one elce. But for a standerd home computer im not shuear so im going to test it out.<br />
<br />
disclaimer: All prices listed are prices at the writing of this post and may have changed by the time you are reading this, although in theory this rig should work I have not tested it and therefore is completely theoretical. <br />
<br />
I have solected the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00457WT58/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00457WT58">HP Pavilion P6630uk </a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=georgesblabbe-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B00457WT58" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> to test this out with as it is a mid range computeer, nothing speshal, but also nothing extreemly spectacula, at the time of rigitng this post it was priced at <span class="priceLarge">£493.92. Lets see if we can build more or less the same computer for less than this price. </span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">It has a AMD athlon II x4 runing at 2.9GHz, I cold not find one of them but we can go better with the </span> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003YV0F66/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B003YV0F66"> Athlon II X4 645</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B003YV0F66" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> running at 3.10GHz for <span class="priceLarge">£75.55.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="priceLarge">Now we know what sort of proseser scoit the motherbord will need to have(AM3), we can find a realy cheep mother bord, the bord i have solected is the </span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002SY60C8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B002SY60C8">ASUS M4A78LT-M LE</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B002SY60C8" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> priced at <span class="priceLarge">£38.98. So the mother bord and proser combanaton total price is: £114.53.</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">The HP has 4gb of ram so i have solected 4gbs of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0019MEIOM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0019MEIOM">Kingston ValueRAM DDR3</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B0019MEIOM" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> for </span><span class="priceLarge">£23.73. total price so far: £138.26</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">The hard drive in the HP is a 640gb dirive, found a <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0017XUX7O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0017XUX7O">Western Digital Caviar Blue</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B0017XUX7O" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> for £30.95. totoal so far is £169.21.</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">Thegragics card in the computer is a nVidia GeForce 210, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003CMNX7K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B003CMNX7K">Palit</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B003CMNX7K" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> do one for £38.90. total after that is £208.11</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">so that is realy the main parsts of the computer for only £208.11 the other acsesarys that are needed are a optical drive: this <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002IST634/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B002IST634">LG</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B002IST634" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> will do the job fine at only £12.29. most cases will be fine for this build the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001H1DB1Q/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B001H1DB1Q">Cooler Master Elite 335</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B001H1DB1Q" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> shold be fine therfor priced at </span> <span class="priceLarge">£35.59 ans a basic 500w PSU shold be ok to power the thing <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/7135799313/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=7135799313">this</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=7135799313" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> one shold be ok at only £13.49. So for the total cost of the hardwear it is only 269.48.</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">Personaly I think that alot of computers cost comes from the OS wich is why i use linux, a typpe of free oparating system(But that is a compleatly difrent post altogether). To be fiting with the chalang i set my self cost of the OS needs to be included. I have cosen to use <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004Q0PT3I/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=georgesblabbe-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B004Q0PT3I">Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=2&a=B004Q0PT3I" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> for this build(</span><span class="priceLarge">£70.99</span><span class="priceLarge">). It is the same OS that is one the HP computer, just the OEM vershon, this meens that it was bort in mass, sort off. but also that is a compelaty difret post.</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="priceLarge">Altogether the cost of this similer computer if self built is £340.47. £153.45 cheeper than if bort from HP. but with a self build you dont get alot of things that you wold get if you bort it. First of all it takes quite a bit of time to build, somthing you wodnt need to wory about if you bort it, techinacal suport is harder to get hold of if you build it your self. so it is cheeper to self build(most of the time) but its also a bit of a hassal building the thing.</span><br />

I have only been ther two days and i have alredy lernt lodes. hear are my top five tips for giving tech suport.<br />
<ol><li>First of all, try not to insulte eny ones inteligent, even if the problem is somthing extreemly simple. For example a teacher didnt know how to press play. Or a nother comomn one is that the moniter isnt terning on becaus it isnt pluged in. never treat some one as if ther stuped.</li>
<li>Confidence is key. Even if you have apsalutly no clue about what you are doing with a poticuler job act if you do. try for a bit, and if you cant figer it out compleaty. say you need to get somthing, go away google the problem then fix it. act confidant all the time.</li>
<li>As anoying as it may be, peple forget passwords. This is a comon thing, so you will get it alot, aspeshaly if you are working some whear with alot of peple.</li>
<li>be fast as fast as you can. If ther is a problem try to get to it and fixt it as fast as you can. Not much anoys peple more than a lest than puncual IT tech.</li>
<li>Its not all computers, from expriane, you ofeten get roped into doing other jobs that isnt realy computer orantated. stage lighting and sound is the common one i have come across in schools. Antother was seting up chears for an asembaly.</li>
</ol>This is a very basic list, i might be going into more detale in the fucher. Thanks for reading<br />

<br />
PHP is a gernral perpos scripting langwage, but its most common use is scripting on web servers. This is a short introducon to it and we wont go into to much detal.<br />
<br />
Befor you use PHP you need a server to run it on. Insted of having a hole seprat computer to act as a server, or even runing a veutal masheen the simplast way by far is to use a local server or local host, this terns you home computer into a web server. I use <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html">xampp</a> for this but ther is menny of them out ther like <a href="http://www.wampserver.com/en/">wamp</a> for windows and so on. I will let you find out how to run thes your self, ther is pleny of tutorisals out ther. IF i was to explane it it wold probalby end up going in to way to much deatal.<br />
<br />
So now you have a way to render the PHP. When you are working with PHP all files contaning PHP must be saved as '.php'. As always with lerning a new programing langwige it is common pracktis to make a hello world program. so coppy the folowing code into a text editer and i will try to explane what is going on.<br />
<blockquote><?php<br />
echo "hello world";<br />
?></blockquote>One you acsess the file thrue your web server you will see the output is hello world. on starting a PHP script you use the "<?php" tag and you end it with "?>". the echo part of it is just like saying print in basic or cout in c++. at the end of a coded line it ended with a semicolon(";") this just tells PHP that it is the end of a line.<br />
<br />
Now lets try a more complacated hello world program.<br />
<blockquote><?php<br />
$a = "hello";<br />
$b = "world";<br />
echo $a." ".$b;<br />
?></blockquote> This file has exactly the same out put as befor. but this time we are using verables. when using verables in PHP the verable name always starts with a '$'. in this case we are usesing strings so the value of the verable must be sorounded by quotatons. on the echo line we use a '.' to concatanate the strings.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading, i know that this is a lital confusing but once you get your head around it it can be very simple.<br />

</td></tr>
</tbody></table>This is a very quick revew of theas caluculators, they are very good at what they do and contane alot of feachers that I like. <br />
<br />
First of all the 'natural display' alows for calculatons to be diplade on the screen as you wold right them down, not like on alot of cheeper caluculators that display everthing in a not very nicely formated line.(But if you preffer calcuators like that the mode can be changed so it formats it like that). One thing that I didnt like untill last week but now i love is that the ancers are first diplade as a simplifyed serd. also it can simplify fractons for you very simpily. If you want to see the desamal ancer thow you just need to press the SD button. The replay fucnton alows you to redo the same calcuaton more than ones quicly wich is quite good.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCE251LPUI0gfhNQPIARaanj9Su8cLKfNKzoY8P_2i8g1VDperjKbaubJd53qNNwb8NhzcT9fqeCSbhwjcDsjOm87WwuOpEdJq1r0oEMbouu0KAai9cOMhH3h43MhH5ayCBtP5_RZagH8/s1600/Scanned+cas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCE251LPUI0gfhNQPIARaanj9Su8cLKfNKzoY8P_2i8g1VDperjKbaubJd53qNNwb8NhzcT9fqeCSbhwjcDsjOm87WwuOpEdJq1r0oEMbouu0KAai9cOMhH3h43MhH5ayCBtP5_RZagH8/s320/Scanned+cas.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">the natural display showing a calcuaton</td></tr>
</tbody></table>The calculators functon more or less in the same way, but from using them side by side it is posoble to seen that the fx-85ES is quite a bit faster than the fx-83ES. As far as casing goes the fx-85ES has a removabl cover just for the battory but the fx-83ES requiers the hole of the back cover to be removed to change the battry. The fx-85ES all so has 'two way power' as it has a small soler cell, this mees less power is drawn from the battory, the fx-83ES doesn't have this.<br />
<br />
I higly recomend thes calulators for exams, or just genral use that requierss more than just aditon,subtracton,multiplacton and divishon.<br />
<br />
thanks very much for reading.<br />

I knew it wold happon wich is one of the resons I did it.<br />
<br />
The genral format of thes emails are that some one has past away along with ther next of kin, and they have a lage amount of money resting in a forron acount with no body to clame it. They then normaly ask for you to give them your bank detales so that the mony can be 'trans ferd'. <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: red;">DON'T FALL FOR IT! </span>It is quite oviasly a scam. All the ones i have seen mention at some point Burkina Faso West Africa making me think that they are all coming from one perosn, but his migt not be true.One example even used a real person with a link to a news post about ther death to try and convinse people.<br />
<br />
Personaly i find it quite funny as I can't stop thinking about George Agdgdgwngo from phonejacker when im reading them. But it is not funny if you ever fall for one, be shuer to check you know ecatly who emails are from befor you send most infomaton, and be very cefull as email isnt very sucuer when it comes to transmitting dater.<br />
<br />
One think i wold like to say, is that <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> have done a fantastic job on there E-mail Spam filter. it worsks very well, well done <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a>.<br />

Wher is the benafit in doing home work! <br />
personaly I think that is only perpos is to cores anoyance and unesasery stress. Ther is a few resons for this, the first of wich, is who actuly sits down at a righting desk and works thrue some work that realy colde have been coverd in the leson, with the help of a qualifide teacher. It seems very out dated. But ther is a nother type of home work whear you go over somthing you did in class, so if you did it in class what is the point in going over it agen! come on! I supose its ok if you thing that you need to go over it your self, just to re infores it, but mandutry home work! why?<br />
<br />
Secondly I wold say that most home work given seems, to me eany way, rushed and slapt to gether. just for the sake of giving it. wich if you aske me is no benafit at all, just a lage wast of paper.<br />
<br />
Lastly, if you dont do the home work, you get shouted at. Can some one point out the thinking bihind this, maby you shold actuly take time and tell us what was on the sheat or tell us what the work coverd. Shouting at some one isnt insatantly going to make them know what informaton was coverd. A teachers job is to teach but shouting at some one isnt teching them is it.<br />
<br />
Thats my thorts eny way. feel free to leve a coment and tell us what you thinck, or you can email your thorts to <a href="mailto:georgesblabberings@hotmail.co.uk">georgesblabberings@hotmail.co.uk</a> and i will try to get back to you as fast as posoble<br />

This is compleaty fine. But lets take one example hear, the humble mobile phone, I don't have one, but ill still use it as an example.<br />
<br />
The latest smart phone tecnolagy is very esay to use, evry tom dick and harry seems to have one. But some times the public think that becaus it is the latest stuff, geeks like me will be into it, ther is a lot of geeks about that get very exited at that sort of stuff. But not me to be honast, what I wold like to do is take the cheepst mobile I can find, i havnt found one that sutes my needs yet, but ther must be one out ther. With it i wold like to put a completely self built OS on it and see how well we can make it puform, now thats geeky in my opiyon, taking somthing and riping it to peses then puting it back to gether in a way that it hardy works, but works extreemly well, if that makes sence.<br />
<br />
It is insulting to ower inteligants that this sort of stuff is dumed down, it shold be ther all open sorse and dificalt to use. but also have vershons avalable to the rest of the jenral public. in my opinyon eny way,<br />
<br />
why not tell us what you think?<br />
<br />
You can also E-mail me now: <a href="mailto:georgesblabberings@hotmail.co.uk">georgesblabberings@hotmail.co.uk</a><br />

After 7 years it is finily hear. Personly I like the game, it sort of gets the feal of the previasu one, but with a lot beter grafics. Ther is a lot more to do in this one aswell, wich can be a good thing but also a bad thing becaus you can get distracted, the game is well worth a play.<br />
<br />
Xgen also have other grate broser games(somthing you dont see every day, normaly browser games are of infiria quality). <a href="http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/motherload">Motherlode </a>is one of them. In this you are in a mining pod on marse, the ferver down you go the more valuble the minarals get. ther is a twist also. but i wont spoil it for you.<br />
<br />
so what browser games do you like to play? leve a coment to tell us.<br />

The electrics wear giving me a few problems so I thort it was about time I got a desont multimeter. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.maplin.co.uk/">Maplin</a> is the closast shop i know of to get one so i went in. Thats wear the 'fun' started,up first i wanted to get the <a href="http://www.maplin.co.uk/digital-multimeter-with-dc-current-measurement-4402">£19.99 PG 10B</a> but they wear out of stock, not to worry, the next upgrade avalable is the <a href="http://www.maplin.co.uk/digital-multimeter-with-frequency-and-capacitance-test-4404">£24.99 PG 12</a>, it has a few more fetchers so was a good upgrade, but that to was aparantly out of stock. So I had no choys but to get the <a href="http://www.maplin.co.uk/31-2-digit-digital-multimeter-4407">£29.99 PG 17</a> dispit costing me a extra £10 than i wanted to spend, it wasnt a bad price for the meter. This one was in stock at the time. It had a few more good feachers than the last to. I do think however if the product is out of stock, it shodnt be displade.<br />

The person in the shop sead that i wold need to get a 9v battry(£1.99) it was 2 for the price of one. But i got home to fined it had one in it. It was even printed on the back of the box it came in that it had one in! very anoying. But at lest I have some more 9v battrys rowd the house.<br />
<br />
Just a bit of a product review, it ternd out to be a good meater in its runing. Fairly actuat rezults. It is a bit of a shame that you have to reomve the hole of the back cover to replace that battry and fewses. With it been a low to mid priced meter i wasnent expecting much from its constucton. The cover is made from a fairly brittal but quite nice plastic. The range swich dosnt feel very flimzy, it feels very nice and givce a satasfiing click when it is ternd. The rubber outer cover is also very nice, dose its job well, bit of a luce fit but its not going to fall out. Inside it seems a bit tacky, cheep, very thin fly leeds conecting the continuetry buzzer to the case, the 9v battry clip is just solderd to the bord. however seems to be fairly good. Precision gold did well with it I think.<br />
<br />
Thanks very much for reading, coment and rate.<br />

I also wold like to apologise for the lack of live show. My camra is broken and i cant aford a new one. I wold realy apreishate it if you wold all try and tell atlest one frend about this blog, just posting a link to us on face book or wititter wold help boost my ratings and maby the lightly hood of the live show continuing.<br />
<br />
Rumours are one of my fravret past times. Nowadays they can spred extreemly fast, i think that this is mainly becaus of texting and the intanet. with in seconds of somthing been made up, 100s of difrent peple can hear about it, then start twisting it them self. with in a hower, just like in chineze wispers, they can have changed compleatly.<br />
<br />
I find that ther is a difrence bitween good rumours and bullying rumour. for example spreding rown that a alian landed on the school feaild is a bit of a lafe, saying that Ms x is pregnant is not a good rumer. remeber to try not to harm eny one while you make them up. Just for a bit of fun. <br />
<br />
So why not give it a go, make up a rumour and see wher abouts it goes, bit of fun.<br />
<br />
thanks very mcuhg<br />
