More Irish Films

Last night on this thing called TV (Telephonic Visual Set) there was a film on channel 4? called "Bloody Sunday" it starred James Nesbitt who was the guy who wanted to stab Liam Neeson in the other film we watched. Basically bloody sunday was the event in which the UK army shot at unarmed civilians killing 13 on the 30th January 1972. Another man died 4.5 and half months later, the death was attributed to the injuries he recieved on that day, the horrible Irony was that the man was not even involved in the riots.

A little background to the situation the march was organised to be held in Derry, all marches and protests had been banned but that did not stop the situation occuring. The IRA had promised all members in attendence would be unarmed. The army had barricaded the predicted parade group and they moved round. Teenagers battered at the barricade to be hosed down and shot with rubber bullets.

Reports of an IRA sniper meant that the order to fire live rounds was given from their it became almost a massacre, members of the army shooting civilians. It only got worse from here people were shot in the back. One of the most horrible stories of the dead is Bernard McGuigan (41). Shot in the back of the head when he went to help Patrick Doherty. He had been waving a white handkerchief at the soldiers to indicate his peaceful intentions.

Army HQ ordered a ceasefire that was not held. In the resulting inquests many stories were said of those shot holding weapons. Witness reports, photographs and evidence for guns were not found. However a body did contain a nail bomb which was told by those that examined him before he died did not posess at the time. Also in regards to claims of weapons no British soldiers were harmed on the day of Bloody Sunday

The Effects Of The Bloody Sunday Massacre
The catholics lost trust in the British army
Crowds burnt down the Brittish Embassey
Led to nationalist joining military groups
Huge artistic reaction e.g U2 and "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

And an interesting fact - James Nesbitt is a patron of Wave - a charity that supports those traumatised by thge troubles. The charity was in trouble before he persuaded others to get involved.

And something fun, something fun....
Its difficult to write in a comedic fashion I suppose we can top this one with a few random facts about myself hopefully they will be a little fun
1) Ive left home twice when my first place took a nose dive I went back to live with my mother after a month it was time to move on and either one of us would off the other one first or someone had to leave.
2) I did AS geography before so you would assume I would have been good at the first year.... Turns out it was a rubbish school and 90% of what I was taught has not yet come up
3) Ive owed Nick in geography a beer for about a year and a half now (Ehem)
4) I don't sing in the shower..... I sing when I feel like it (And Im Pretty Awfuls)
5) I learnt 200 pages of lines for a musical with a strict rageime. It took me 5 days. Come home put futurama in the DVD player, read script until futurama DVD changes, change DVD. Repeat

Before I Made Ten Random Things I Was Gunna Make Some Information About Similarities About Me And James Nesbitt, Upon Finding There Were None You Guys Got This

Thats all for today folks see you next time.

I Actually Did Some Revision And Quote Of The Week

Anyway heres a basic summary, yes I will of all people teach you guys and girls something today. Last night taking a look on BBC News it was easy enough to identify a few things regarding current unrest in Belfast.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12261443
In short: shut up
In long: shut up no way did petrol bombs get thrown into  flat in Clifftonville. I also found some stats on Clifftonville http://www.ninis.nisra.gov.uk/mapxtreme/report.asp?INIT=YES&POSTCODE=BT146LP&DESC=FromGeneral&CurrentLevel=COA&ID=95GG170012&Name=95GG170012&Tab=SOA
They have a percentage of catholic residents of above 80% could be an attack on Catholics.

Thats however not the only story of unrest in Belfast. As well as the bomb on the residential street the army were called in again this time to deal withing South Belfast.

So far noone has come forward to claim responsibility making it difficult to assertain whether it was a paramilitary group or those out to make trouble. Although its almost the same thing ;)

Anyway i'm sure noone came to my Blog to learn but I suppose it helps if I do what the Blog for and its comes around to "QUOTE OF ZE WEAK"

Todays quote comes straight from Millies Watts pretty awesome class and is in regards to cooperation between the catholics and protestants. We all know the power of slogans the amount of times we have all heard "Theyre Great" well Ireland needs a slogan to promote cooperation and here it is.

"Catholics And Protestants: Last Time We Came Together We Built The Titanic. We Can Do It Again"

Side Notes:
Number Of Cakes Since Blog Started: 0
Number Of Times Told Off By Millie: Many
Number Of Times Gawyn Has Said "Sorry": Many More
Number Of Trips To Belfast Ive Taken To Ask People If Theyve Every Bombed Anyone: 0 (Yet)
Number Of Class Blogs: 3?
Number Of Communist Android Robots In Class: 0 (Yet ;))

Anyway Peave Out For Now Hope I Taught A Little
If I Get Two Comments Ill Tell A Funny Story About My Mum In Millies Lesson ;)

Start Of The 3rd Geography Related Blog

Good Morning RHC Geography Students From Millies Class

I don't know what the other groups do and tbh I don't care because our groups pretty awesome =)

I thought i'd do the difficult thing and try and remember all the fun we have had in geography over the past week and my sieve memory can remember barely anything. I will also post a few comments on maybe Belfast and try and teach some information to you guys on the way.

This week in geography
Stefan took a dive and combat moved towards his chair upon being something like 20 minutes late.
Tristan tested the boundaries on Millies ago o.O Chalk Boards or White Boards I think i might have not been paying to much attention.
In regards to Belfast im pretty sure I can say Essex is worst in every retrospect so maybe we can change what we are studying, plus it means we could stay at my house, its small as anything but we could lay sleeping bags. On second thought maybe not
Stefan was impressed he made it to the lesson early after lunch (by 3 minutes) only to be asked by Millie where he was before lunch.
James communist robot android theories were put under stress when his plan to eliminate religion was met by Millies backlash at which point eventually she surrended with the idea that if he can support it he should go for it.
Also I made a few jokes but I can't remember them now but 1 out of 11 might have been a little funny

Im kinda running out on things my minds on a blank so i'm gonna tell you all a story about myself and the next blog will be better I promise.

Warning: This is a story about a lack of love, 6th forms, mums, Indiana Jones and is violently graphic
A long time ago I was planning to go to another 6th form, my mum has never been really proud of me and we had a huge fight in the car and she told me that I didnt look smart enough for the interview as well as that I was going to be an embarassment to her. (I wore a smart shirt and a tie but my smart jeans let me down) anyway just to say upon closer observation that my mum missed a key part of dressing for my interview! I won't say what but feel free to ask if you want. Anyway we arrived at the 6th form and took a seat in reception we wern't on speaking groups regardless of how much she apologised. The head of 6th form greeted us and took us around the place, the 6th form block wasnt finished yet but he promised it would be by the time I started anyway we went around the place and it was kinda nice had a good look round. He proceeded to take us to his office, we made it into the building and there was a flat mat on the ground I traveresed the flat mat with ease however my mum took it a little to fast. The mat went flying into the air and my mum began to roll towards me, and shes a bit of chunky lady so like the scene in Indiana Jones I began to run but didnt have enough time to get away with the ancient artifact I had stolen. Regardless she then smacked into the back of my legs and almost took me down with her. She then sat on the ground pulling a family guy, that is moving back and forwards clutching the leg she had scratched. Eventually upon pulling the mat off the roof we went into the heads office. It was here my mum began to inspect the damage on her knee pulling off bits of dead skin while the head was talking and asking us questions. How embarassing, anyway the questions were drawing to a close and my mum was happy with what she had done to her knee pulling her trackies <- yes trackies. Back down her leg she smashed her head into the corner of the table. Shocked the head of 6th form gave me an offer because otherwise I would have sued his arse.

We left the 6th form with me saying "Whos gonna embarass who?"
Only to be told to "Shut your (Insert swear word here) mouth Christopher!!!"

To be honest I tell the story far better when given time

Also feel free to post any memorable moments
And until I can be bothered to post anything else ;) :P
