what?

K. So @AlanCarr was twittering about that sex ed show on C4. So I watch it. Right. Yeah. And there were teenagers looking at nekked people. Then the woman hosting the show was on a little side campaign to stop kids looking at porn. Fair ’nuff. Then she argued that computers should come with parental controls as default, “like mobile phones”.

What?? No.

Her argument was that you wouldn’t let a kid wonder in a newsagents and pick up a porn mag.

Yeah, but of course they will, if you don’t keep a fucking eye on them.

Let a child wonder into a shop without any supervision, and they will look at things they sohouldn’t.

If you don’t want your child to look at porn on their computer, make sure you can see what they’re doing online. Keep the computer where you can see it. In the living room or summat.

Then she wen’t into PC World asking for one of these PG computers, and came out disgraced that they don’t exist. She said that the computerman in the shop told her there were two ways of protecting children online. By installing software or BY GETTING AN ENGINEER ROUND TO DO IT THROUGH YOUR ROUTER?!?!?!?! WOT?!?!? HOW CONFUSING?!

STFU.

I’m not buying a PG computer just ’cause people are to lazy to keep an eye on their kids/set up parental controls for themselves.

um..

Three weeks off. Not getting posted yet. Going straight onto rad/op course.

What to do? I’ve thought about getting a micro scooter and exploring london with a camera slung around my neck. I hear the weather will be nice.

This is the most awesome bike in the world. I love it. It’s light, matte black, a smooth ride and it folds. What more could you want? But I’ve been cheating on it Going into bike shops and checking out the BMXs, the hardcore mountain bikes and the fixies. Worse yet, I’ve been checking out scooters.

mad day

Being posed to a unit before I start rad/op course. Had first half of final med today. It’s all very complicated. They don’t like telling you what’s going on. Just be here at this time and stfu.
Been the “runner” today. The runner normally just does odd jobs, just there was a visit from a very important person, so I been a busy bod.
Had two injections. One in each arm. Probably more to come tomorrow. Injections used to freak me out, until I got to basic training. I thought, “sitting here getting jabbed definitely beats a loaded march or the drill square or anything else”.
Don’t see the point in going to a unit when I got to be back here in April. Pointless. Better not be going to Germany. I ‘aint flying back and fro like a pigeon on crack.

Can’t find my iPod. It’s either been stolen out of my locker, hidden behind trash, or lost completely. Either way, it’s an excuse to buy a newer, bigger capacity one. Once I get paid, of course. I’m totally broke atm. Sucks.

Feel sick at the thought of having to drive back to camp soon. Literally. Keep gagging. Used to feel like this getting ready to go to school in the morning. ‘Twas hard to breath. So I bailed out and watched Will & Grace instead.
