I can officially start my post this week on a high note. After moaning last week about a distinct lack in readers, the number has increased by a staggering 200%. Nine - sorry - NINE&amp;nbsp;people read it! This, of course, doesn't sound like a lot, but when four readers is a good week nine forces you to refrain for urinating uncontrollably into your y-fronts. I also attained seven reader this week. Again, outstanding. I can and will only commend those who read it. Thanks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Somewhere in the midst of last week's post I mentioned a clear lack in interesting news, notably, the election. How wrong I was. For 17.30 on that fateful day saw the announced resignation of the beloved Gordon Brown. I shall forever miss his cheeky grin and sneaky comments. However, David Cameron has taken us under his finally pruned wing, where we shall see foxes slaughtered once more, and unemployment rise yet again. Or perhaps not. Davo and Nicki may do a fabulous job and lift us out of this economic turmoil. Then again, maybe not. I do find the facebook group "this volcano has stopped more immigrants in 2 days than Labour in 12 years" Although, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against LEGAL immigrants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Naturally, the economic crisis in this country has been hyperbolised by the media. However, it has its effect on nearly every business -&amp;nbsp;Including &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aaabedzandfurniture.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;AAA Bedz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;. People are simply not buying - and they need to. For my sake, and the countres sake - but mainly for my sake. Mon bon amie Emily Roe, has every faith in the ability in the party that delivered propoganda-like leaflets to her home on horseback no less. This is her letter to Prime Minister David Cameron. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Dear David Cameron,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;While I am fully aware that you have a plethora of alternative tasks and errands of which hold much more importance than reading my letter, I felt it was my duty as a child of Great Britain to congratulate you on your new role in government; as Prime Minister. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;I am a teenage girl of 16 years old, I attend my local comprehensive school in Barton-Upon-Humber and I’m currently taking my GCSEs (and should be revising). Your political yet charismatic flair combined with over-whelming intelligence and, of course, pulchritudinous face&amp;nbsp;has inspired me over my years. As my knowledge of the country's economic and political state increases, my liking for yourself; Conservatives and your policies grows also. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Unfortunately, I was unable to vote in the&amp;nbsp;recent election. Nevertheless I was thrilled that the party voted in my constituency was, naturally,&amp;nbsp;Conservative. Although I was disappointed and quite honestly disillusioned that you did not obtain an over-all majority, I am delighted that you are currently Prime Minister and consequently I have no doubt that the country will be an enhanced and superior realm&amp;nbsp;because of it. Although, hypothetically, the coalition government will not work due to differing policies, I’m positive that you will unequivocally formulate an incredibly strong government. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;I would love to have a career in politics or political journalism and if you could kindly offer me some advice in doing so, it would be tremendously appreciated. Politics is my passion and I am fascinated in the modifications you may convey. I have a&amp;nbsp;multitude of opinions and ideas&amp;nbsp;myself, although I am far inferior to you, I hope you will appreciate my insight in to E.M.A. My parents earn sufficient amount of money and understandably I am not able to claim for E.M.A. However, I have a friend who lives with her mother only – as her parents are divorced. Next year she will be ‘awarded’ £30 a week plus additional bonuses over the Christmas period. Although rightfully she should get this money as her household income is below the amount which is required -&amp;nbsp;her father is earning £100,0000 per annum. I think this&amp;nbsp;is unacceptable. An alternative to this could be vouchers, free bus passes and free dinners. Which would in-fact suffice for all that is intended by E.M.A. This would also discourage students to spend their money on alcohol, cigarettes and drugs and its related paraphernalia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Thank you for your time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Yours sincerely, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Emily Roe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Milly, I must personally commend your efforts into improving society by contacting our newly "elected" Prime Minister. Your letter adressed to him is stupendously insightful and accurately portrays&amp;nbsp;issues regarding modern society. Lol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;I was requested last week by my boss to include more links to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aaabedz.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;AAA Beds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;. That's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aaabedz.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;AAA Bedz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you missed it the first time. This is the place we should venture or (presuming you are a friend of my own) our parents should venture to, should they desire: a bed, bedroom furniture or any other piece of miscellanoeus furniture. There is quite an array of available and, more importantly, cheap items. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;To conclude this week's post I shall list things that have occured within the week and I wil rate them out of ten in good-ness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Gordon Brown resigns&amp;nbsp;- 3/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Nottingham Forest exit the Championship play-offs -500/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Conservatives and Lib Dems form coalition government - 7/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;David Cameron made PM - 5/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Chelsea win FA Cup - 2/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Volcano erupts again - 0/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Purchase of R:E revision book -&amp;nbsp;2/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;That means that the last week rates at -481/70, I think. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Enjoy, click "read it".

Pleeeeeaaaaase!</title><content type='html'>I'm really disappointed to be honest. I asked for ten readers and I end up with just three. That says it all. I am failing miserably in writing an entertaining blog that people read and think "I should tell my chums about this". Not like anybody would think that in the real world. I think this week I will set a target of one reader and then it's almost certain i'll reach my target and I may feel a little happier. &lt;br /&gt;I really want to make this post good this week and therefore I have just surfed the BBC News website for some inspiration. Perhaps the election would bring some interesting goss. Or not. Still, nothing has changed and we're all still wondering which cock will rule the country. I then spotted a story entitled "Pornography row hits Wiki sites" and after selecting it I found that it was a story about the alleged use of child pornography on Wikipedia. I think it's probably best if I didn't talk about that. (You can still find that story on the BBC News homepage 10/05/10) I have hereby concluded that for once nothing even remotely interesting has happened in the news today. In fact, I just heard a journalist say on Radio 5 (don't ask) that there is only so many times he can say that the election-yness is "exciting and interesting" and that journalists are starting to disappear.&lt;br /&gt;So how am I supposed to make this post interesting? I could chat about something furniture-related or for ages and bore you all incessantly (if I haven't already done so) or I could just mention that in passing as I normally do. But that seems to fail also. Maybe I should talk about my mother. She's always funny.&lt;br /&gt;My mum is nothing short of the biggest odd-ball around. And I don't think she'll mind my saying that because she's odd and therefore she'll be odd in the fact she won't care. She regularly threatens to "smack me with her fist" or "slap me with her foot" and not in a child-abuse type manner, almost in a friendly manner. She should accompany these comments by excreting a small turd simultaneously and then she'd definitely be a lunatic. &lt;br /&gt;She's recently become a proper house-wife -&amp;nbsp;a proper mother, and has started doing the washing and the ironing and&amp;nbsp;my bedding is changed more regularly (it's no longer an annual festival). Joke. Even more shockingly, she cooks! Chicken in white wine sauce, homemade tuna fishcakes, the lot. She is as she says "Gordon Brown". She regularly gets him and Gordon Ramsey a little muddled. Bless. See there I am saying "bless" as if she is an incontinent loon that should go on holiday to Switzerland. She isn't incontinent, because she spends most of the day on the toilet wee-ing anyway.&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to portray my mother as an absolute freak show, because she isn't. She can cook, clean, wash, wipe her own bum even make her own drink if there's no-one there. She's lovely almost all of the time (except mornings and the times in which she advises me to become a rent boy). But she is incredulously funny. Her whole life revolves around tea, wees and Countrylife. &lt;br /&gt;I think I'll classify the part in which I mentioned the bedding being changed as the part relevant to beds and other furniture related schizzle for this week. And instead of moaning and asking for people to read and comment I'm just going to try and find a funny picture from Google each week and paste that in instead. &lt;br /&gt;Have a good week! x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0C3iwTPI/AAAAAAAAACc/Fx-6Vs2sOEw/s1600/funny0472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0C3iwTPI/AAAAAAAAACc/Fx-6Vs2sOEw/s320/funny0472.jpg" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0JdUOdXI/AAAAAAAAACk/SSId_kq8syg/s1600/funny_signs_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0JdUOdXI/AAAAAAAAACk/SSId_kq8syg/s320/funny_signs_3.jpg" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0SkG-BzI/AAAAAAAAACs/RD8qP4Px96E/s1600/job_facts_funny_sign_notice_hilarious.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0SkG-BzI/AAAAAAAAACs/RD8qP4Px96E/s320/job_facts_funny_sign_notice_hilarious.jpg" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0YagbaaI/AAAAAAAAAC0/MfiiNgLLp3E/s1600/funnySIGNS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-g0YagbaaI/AAAAAAAAAC0/MfiiNgLLp3E/s320/funnySIGNS.jpg" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;xxx&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-6768769231863773823?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/6768769231863773823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/05/please-read-me-pleeeeeaaaaase.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/6768769231863773823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/6768769231863773823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/05/please-read-me-pleeeeeaaaaase.html' title='Please read me.

I don’t have Chlamydia! I don’t have Chlamydia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine me saying that in a tone of voice similar to that of an eleven year old boy bragging about his first pubic hair to one of his pre-pubescent chums. It would probably help if I followed it up with, ‘ner ner ner ner ner x 3’.&lt;br /&gt;It is confirmed, I don’t have Chlamydia. I received an email earlier today notifying me and it read as follows (I’ve deleted boring parts):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is COAST. Thank you for screening for Chlamydia recently. We are pleased to advise you that your test is NEGATIVE.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now, here is some useful info to remember!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You should be re-screened routinely once per year between the ages of 15-24 if you remain with the same sexual partner.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you change partners and have unprotected sex you should re-screen each time (but not more often than every 5 weeks).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is really important that we start to reduce the number of people with Chlamydia, as it can have serious effects – you can help us to do this by using condoms!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;its eeezy – peeezy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do apologise for the lack of apostrophe in “it’s” on the last line. Clearly basic English skills are not required in the NHS. I also apologise for the misuse of the word “advise” in the second sentence. They are not giving me advice in telling me I’m Chlamydia free. They are informing me. And whilst I’m on the subject I’m also perturbed by the fact that it didn’t say “The coast is clear” as I was promised by those who had previously been tested – the virginityless friends. I am aware that I have created a new word there considering I have just moaned incessantly about spelling and grammar in the atrocious email above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have noticed that this week 6 people have clicked “read it” which means at least 6 people read it - obviously. I was kind of stating the obvious there. What’s better is that Pete didn’t read it and normally does and neither did my dad. Therefore, I believe I can get at least 8 people to read it this week. I would like to set myself the goal of attaining 10 readers this week. So if anyone is reading this can you click “read it” at the foot of the post and can you get anyone sitting next to you to read it also on their computers (so that they can click “read it” again without it saying you’ve already clicked it once.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised earlier that my sense of humour leads me to laughing at the most immature of things. For example, I was on the bus home earlier today and&amp;nbsp;I saw&amp;nbsp;a sign that I’ve seen many times before that said “hump”. And it just looked, to me, like the government wanted a bit of a laugh and thought they'd have "hump". If it even is the government that makes that decision, I have no idea.&amp;nbsp;However, I don’t believe anyone other than me can say that at 16 and above they find that funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-BD_nzbsDI/AAAAAAAAACM/GXUasllMWUY/s1600/hump.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-BD_nzbsDI/AAAAAAAAACM/GXUasllMWUY/s320/hump.jpg" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;I'm supposed to talk about something related to home improvements and I have been struggling for inspiration. That is until I was sat with Becky and Sinead at lunch time and took a look at the hideous sofa Becky's mum had bought. And because you can't by it at AAA Bedz (link at top) I can quite merrily slag it off for a little while. Though I think you could probably do it for yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-B0Em7nIyI/AAAAAAAAACU/oRxJkDSHQ8A/s1600/Belgravia_4str_PB_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S-B0Em7nIyI/AAAAAAAAACU/oRxJkDSHQ8A/s320/Belgravia_4str_PB_main.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;From a distance it doesn't look too bad but if you go on the website and look at it full size (last page of fabric sofas -DFS) you'll realise that it is just hideous. The stripes are hideous and quite chavvy. It looks quite dated. The colours are an abomination when combined and overall the sofa is just disastrous. I think you should all look at it, laugh, and feel sorry for Becky. She agrees with me so it's not like I'm being horrible because she detests it also.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Right, that shall conclude today's post because I am running out of things to say and anyone reading this is getting bored.

I do believe that there are at least 5 readers because last week someone informed me that they had read my post and the number of people who selected "read it" didn't rise. The majority of people who did read last week's post were under the impression that this was some "Stephen Hawkins" like hobby. By that I mean the kind of hobby that makes someone sound like a techno/computer geek, not someone with major paralysis. Not that I am, by any means, slagging off Stephen Hawkins. He is an incredibly intelligent specimen. I fear I may have just dug a rather large hole. Any who, back to the point, the fact is that this blog is a requirement from one of my employers (step-dad). And although I enjoy it, it isn't a pastime of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week ago I received a letter from the NHS informing me about free Chlamydia tests for people of my age range. The letter lists an array of different symptoms of Chlamydia and how it can be treated. At first I cackled this off as my "sex life" is, shall we say, non-existent. However, at school today we had an assembly lecturing us on teenage pregnancy (at which point I had correctly guessed in front of 200 people that 40% of teenagers in Year 11 or below had lost their virginity - an educated guess that went a little too right) and contraception and then Chlamydia. The nurses who lectured us professed that what they were doing was not lecturing and nagging - just informing. The fact is they were lecturing and nagging and I don't blame them because the topics they were discussing are a problem and so often I hear the aesthetically more attractive students in school chatting about there Johnny-less sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the nurses said that anyone that wanted one could, at the end of the assembly, collect a plastic pot and a basic details form for us to fill in. The aim being to urinate in the pot and give it back to them with the form. We were then given the choice of receiving our results via SMS, telephone, letter or email. I feel it necessary to highlight that the scheme is called COAST (Chlamydia, Outreach, Advice, Screening, Treatment) and, therefore, should you not have the infection your text or whatever informs you that the "coast is clear". This was intended to be some kind of code but by now everyone knows what it means - so it's basically just silly. I am intrigued, however, on what it would say if you had actually contracted the infection, perhaps, "the coast is not clear, there is an infestation of crabs". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they first told us that we could do this I immediately thought that doing that would be pointless for me - until I realised that you gain a pair of yellow and black boxers with the slogan: "good clean tackle". However, I then had a thought. There are so many stories of people finding spit or semen in their cheeseburgers at McDonalds or wherever and, therefore, there was a possibility that someone in McDonalds could have had a cheeky 5 minutes on their own with my burger or more worryingly - my milkshake - the perfect camouflage. For this reason I took a pot and a form, filled the form in and went to the loo. I couldn't wee. 10 am and I hadn't drunk anything. This meant that I would have to return to the toilets that I normally dare not enter for hygiene reasons. On my second visit, I succeeded, just. I wrapped the label firmly around the pot and put in the plastic bag attached to the form and minced down the corridor to hand in my sample.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the location in which I would receive my boxers. To my eyes there was a choice of yellow or purple. I wanted purple. They were for girls and were in fact not boxers and, thus, the nurses kindly informed me that they would be a bit of a squeeze and for that reason I left the room with yellow boxers - my least favourite colour. What a waste of time. So now it is just a case of finding out whether my milkshake was contaminated, via email, in the next week. I'm pretty certain my coast is clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, due to the fact that this blog is supposed to be related to beds and furniture I shall discuss the benefits of having a King Size quilt on a single bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I drank a milkshake and decided that the duvet etc needed changing :P Joke! My mother put my bedding in the wash yesterday and I requested the possibility of having a king size quilt on my single bed. My mother kindly obliged. So at about 7.30 pm, the duvet cover was ready and so I gathered it from the tumble dryer and proceeded to put over my quilt as normal. Now it is probably sensical (made up word) to inform you that I find this task nearing the limits of my practical ability with a single cover and because of this is took me 25 minutes to complete the task of putting the duvet cover on. But oh how it was worth it! I can now fully wrap my self more than once in this absolute tsunami of duvet at night. There is room for me and several pizzas. It is nothing short of bliss! I do have a peculiar necessity to fold the quilt over my feet due to my hatred of feet sticking out of the end of a quilt. And with a king size duvet, it's stupendously easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now forgive me because I have noticed my incessant swapping in the previous paragraph between the words duvet and quilt. I do not think I know myself which one I prefer. I suppose I say quilt, but prefer the word duvet because it's French and I love French. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is probably time to call an end to this week's post as you are now almost certainly at the point of "when does this end?" and you probably reached that point a paragraph in. I shall look forward to more people clicking "Read it" so feel free to promote and importantly comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xxxx&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-8932595772816151039?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/8932595772816151039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/04/chlamydia-ridden-milkshake.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/8932595772816151039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/8932595772816151039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/04/chlamydia-ridden-milkshake.html' title='Chlamydia ridden milkshake!'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-6538717368160466551</id><published>2010-04-19T16:34:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-19T16:36:11.138+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Vive la France.</title><content type='html'>Why am I even bothering? In the last two weeks nobody has even bothered to read my blog. Not even my mother. However, she is protesting that she never saw the link to it on my Facebook page in the first place and is, thus, advising me to re-post onto my wall. I suppose it answers my question from last week though. Nobody is reading this. Everyone is bored of it and I’m not really sure how to jazz it up to be honest. I can’t think of anything interesting to say regarding home-improvements. There’s nothing to say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve just returned from a week skiing at the resort of Vars in the French Alps. It was my first time skiing and at first I thought it would be my last. That won’t be the case. I loved it and I’m missing it terribly after only returning home 36 hours ago. The exhilaration of going parallel down a piste on a mountain that reaches a height of nearly 3000 metres is incredible, and I was only on the more basic slopes. The difficulty of a slope is classified and categorised using the following colours:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yellow = Beginners &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Green = Easy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blue = Moderate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red = Difficult&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black = Very Difficult&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a beginner but by the end of the week I was feeling very confident on green and blue slopes and had even tackled a red without falling. I was, however, struggling immensely at the start as I failed to get the hang of a snow-plough. This is movement of your skis in which the front ends of them come together and the back ends drift apart, and is executed with the intention of slowing down or stopping. I couldn’t do it for the first two days. The first instructor we had even resorted to putting clips on the front of my skis like they give babies and yet I still couldn’t get the gist. When I finally learnt this, it was all go go go. &lt;br /&gt;I then had to learn how to parallel turn and I still can’t do that. That is my primary aim for next time I go. And I advise everyone to go and do it!&lt;br /&gt;The beds in our hostel thing were actually seemingly comfortable. They were basically some sponge with a sheet. Not memory foam but comfortable. They were, however, very short and a lot of our pillows were very lumpy, which was quite unpleasant. But as foreign mattresses go, they were not bad. Not bad at all!&lt;br /&gt;It wasn’t my bedroom where the problems lay. The girls had a bath with a shower shoved on the tap and it didn’t drain efficiently. Instead, it repeatedly vomited pubic hair back up into the bath when they showered which was obviously undesirable for anyone. Millie’s mattress also had what seemed like a stain that resembled what could only be chocolate or turd. Because the latter of those possibilities brought up the most entertaining conversation we concluded that it was definitely turd. &lt;br /&gt;If anybody reading this does want to go skiing (and I find that unlikely because last weeks experiment tells me that nobody is likely to be reading this) I would advise you to take plenty of cash if you’re planning on hitting Europe. A pint of lager costs €10 in our hotel, which is roughly £9.30 at the moment. It’s ridiculous. &lt;br /&gt;Overall, skiing is unequivocally superb. And it is addictive. I really cannot wait to go again now. I would recommend it to everyone. But if by any chance you think a volcano may go off anywhere in the world during your trip, prepare for a 20 hour coach trip!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I conclude this week’s post I will ask anyone reading this to select “read this” at the foot of the post.

And it's great to place my fingers back on the remaining half of the keyboard. Although it's a blog that is read by five people, perhaps, and I don't get the feeling of letting people down when I don't post, I try and imagine that the scenario is quite the opposite and that, in fact, there are a few million people all anticipating the birth of my next post. &lt;br /&gt;In my last post and others prior to that I had used an array of vocabulary choices that had confused my mother amongst others. This, however, will not change anything within the contents of my blog as my incessant use of elongated jargon is me in a nutshell, and thus, I shall create a glossary at the bottom of the post, primarily for Mum.&lt;br /&gt;The last week, for me, has been shall we say... repetitive. One of our suppliers has raised the cost of their items and therefore I have spent the last two weeks changing the prices on all of their items that we sell. I can only describe this experience as dull. Dull is a very tedious word in itself and my Dad, thus, detests it. He also believes that dull is a word that should only been used when describing the weather.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;My Dad is unequivocally a larger (outwards), shorter and slightly more pernickety version of me. This doesn't paint a particularly positive image of him, which is unfair because it's what's in the inside that counts. And if some of his weight diminished he would actually be quite handsome chap. Which makes me sound big-headed because i've just said i'm a mini-him. This was not my intention as any attempt to be&amp;nbsp;pompous with regards to my appearance would be like a pumpkin bragging about its skinny&amp;nbsp;figure to a cucumber.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to gauge an idea into what number of people actually read this, and this has led me to a Eureka moment in which I change the settings on my reactions bar at the foot of the post and make one of my options "read it". If you have read this, could you please select this option and I can therefore gauge accurately the number of people who read the post.&lt;br /&gt;With regards to home-improvements I am struggling to conjure up an idea of what to talk about. And as this is the real subject of the blog I better come up with something whilst I type this very and unecessarily and horrendously and unequivocally and incessantly long&amp;nbsp;sentence.&lt;br /&gt;I could talk about the fact that earlier today I requested to have my job-title changed and have been successful. I am now Public Relations (PR) Officer of &lt;a href="http://aaabedz.co.uk/"&gt;AAA Bedz and Furniture&lt;/a&gt;! This is instead of Office Junior. &lt;br /&gt;I have also been thinking about the possible re-decoration of my&amp;nbsp;bedroom. But quizzing my mother about the possibility of this is pointless and stupid because I can't be arsed to ship everything out of my room just to give the walls a new lick of paint that i'll probably just as quickly detest. It is currently painted with two walls red and the other two white and is supposed to resemble the colours of my favourite football team, Nottingham Forest. I also have a Nottingham Forest duvet set, lamp, coaster, clock, light, other clock, bag, shirts, jumper, hat, glove (only one that I can find) and various other Forest related paraphernalia.&lt;br /&gt;Well that is all for this week, I nearly typed folks here but I am neither old and I'm not sure if I would be being ambitious by using plural so I shall say nothing other than this uneccesary sentence.&lt;br /&gt;I shalln't be posting next week because I am going skiing next week with school. I may not return. :P&lt;br /&gt;xx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glossary:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paraphernalia - belongings for particular purpose i.e. drugs paraphernalia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;unequivocal - without doubt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;incessant - endless&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;glossary - a selection of words used in the document with their definitions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;elongated - long word for long&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;diminished - loss of -&amp;nbsp; I think&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eureka - I think someone shouted this in Greece in the bath and then proceeded to get out of the bath and run down the street naked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xxx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember to click "Read it"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-6691659026544999336?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/6691659026544999336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/04/hallelujah.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/6691659026544999336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/6691659026544999336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/04/hallelujah.html' title='Hallelujah!'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-6894957559563746584</id><published>2010-03-22T17:21:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-03-23T19:45:19.958Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The last week'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Home Improvements'/><title type='text'>Hmmmph...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6eli02zesI/AAAAAAAAAB0/3E2ipNrSQwQ/s1600-h/aaabedz-logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6eli02zesI/AAAAAAAAAB0/3E2ipNrSQwQ/s320/aaabedz-logo.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It's fair to say that I absolutely love writing this blog because it's not half as tedious as the other office duties that I have to complete. However, I am a little melancholy about the situation this week. It seems that I get more negative comments about my posts, than positive. But why? I would prefer it if people actually voiced their opinion and suggested a way of improving it, rather than "It was alright" or "Yeah, I, like, started reading your blog, but, then mum said there was a hyena in the back garden and I needed to shoo it away with an umbrella. So I didn't finish it" Can't people just tell me how to improve it? This way I can make improvements that will please the majority of readers (ambitious - majority of readers. That's like 3 out of 4 or something :P) and have far less negative or so-so comments.&lt;br /&gt;A couple of people have mentioned how I waffle on somewhat. All I can say is - I don't need telling. I know I do, but it takes up time at work, which is always good. :) For this reason today's post will be no exception.&lt;br /&gt;It's probably best to inform you now that if you want a new bed there's an extremely rare sale on at Dreams. One ended last week, or the week prior to that - I fail to recall which - and another has started this week. It's something like half-price on practically every bed. However, if you have noticed the hint of sarcasm there, you'll realise that Dreams isn't the place to be and it is in fact,&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.aaabedz.co.uk/"&gt;AAA Bedz and Furniture&lt;/a&gt; a place where you can get just as high a quality beds, for a much cheaper price. With free delivery also!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6ellwlbX2I/AAAAAAAAAB8/z-h3JALiqI8/s1600-h/dreams" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6ellwlbX2I/AAAAAAAAAB8/z-h3JALiqI8/s320/dreams" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So, with a complete change of subject, I think I'll converse about something far more interesting - the last week. In a week where we find out that our saviour, David Beckham is ruled out of the World Cup, Ian Huntley has his throat slashed, Justin Bieber doesn't like Twiglets and Adrian Chiles has his hideous beard shaved for £61,500 - I have done nothing other than go to school; come home and worked; cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen (several times), chinchillas, goats and my bedroom; watched Sport Relief and Alan Carr:Chatty Man and ventured to my grandma's. So, this week has all been a little quiet, &lt;i&gt;chez moi&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6elrcHX-zI/AAAAAAAAACE/ycDyhi6G9NI/s1600-h/beckham_cane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S6elrcHX-zI/AAAAAAAAACE/ycDyhi6G9NI/s200/beckham_cane.jpg" width="130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Has anyone, who is patient or bored enough to have made it this far down the post, done anything of interest in the last week? If so, leave me a comment informing me of this spectacular event, and I'll falsely pretend to be fascinated.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; I would like to take the opportunity to welcome my pulchritudinous father to the higgledy-piggledy world of my blog. I know you have twitter so you can follow me and, thus, bring my tally of followers to the grand total of 5!&lt;br /&gt;I would also like to address a serious cause for concern. Last week, an array of specimens attempted to comment on my blog, and the system let them down. I do apologise profusely. All I can say is, comment this week and it should work. Furthermore, although my first paragraph addressed my melancholy mood due to a plethora of negative comments, my poll has only received one negative comment and all the other votes are very nice. So that's all jolly good.&lt;br /&gt;It's now probably a good time to end the blog even though I've still got ages left at work. Oh well, please comment, and vote and such.&lt;br /&gt;Arrivederci!

And, despite probing my mother and step-father for answers, I have failed in my quest for the answer. They have, of course, given me the answer, it's just I haven't the foggiest what they're talking about&amp;nbsp;and I don't want to sound overly dim-witted in re-asking my question (probably followed with a hideously antisocial and neanderthalic grunt, thus, giving the inclination that they should, perhaps,&amp;nbsp;explain it again&amp;nbsp;as if I were about 5 years old. So, it is here on my poorly followed blog that I confess to my lack of technological and business-y knowledge. I do know that it has something to do with "links" and "page rankings", but the thought of going into too much detail on the matter, to me, forecasts nothing other than utter tedium. It is for this reason that I shall continue to wonder for a while and leave this topic alone. &lt;br /&gt;I used a word in the last paragraph that isn't technically a word. Neanderthalic is actually a word&amp;nbsp;I searched, with the intention of finding out whether it was a word or not, and found that it was recognised by the Urban dictionary. It holds perhaps one the greatest, and perhaps the most relevant definition, considering my previous point about stupidness, I've ever stumbled across.&lt;br /&gt;"The act or state of being a dumbass." I realise that nobody &lt;em&gt;technically&lt;/em&gt; cares whether it's a real word or not, and I suppose it's almost guaranteed that no-one reading this would have the dullness within them to research it anyway. However, I felt the need to share that quite brilliant definition&amp;nbsp;with anyone who reads this.&lt;br /&gt;I do now have a little witter, as per usual. The following people have failed to comment on last week's post as requested and will, therefore, frazzle in Hell for doing so, I presume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auntie Rachel&lt;br /&gt;Uncle Bob&amp;nbsp; (Bob's your uncle - Haha)&lt;br /&gt;Kayleigh&lt;br /&gt;Stephen&lt;br /&gt;Pete&lt;br /&gt;Zoe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum&lt;br /&gt;Jess&lt;br /&gt;Sophie&lt;br /&gt;Myself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shall now make an announcement that has severly damaged our family. It is the tragic news that Dreams will be ending their SALE at 8pm this coming Tuesday. (Guaranteed, if Soph is reading this she will have probably at least smirked, if not laughed at the word coming, due to her significant lack of maturity at times. Bless her, I'm the same.) If Zoe is reading this, you will A) laugh at my previous comment.&lt;br /&gt;B) gone into a dither about the fact I'm talking about you with about 5 other people.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, their sale is ending, and it's tragic really. They never seem to last quite long enough. Thank goodness, DFS, ScS and co are still sale-ing = sailing in a none-boaty way, I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;If you are also at a loss with Dreams' end of sale, feel free to buy a bed from &lt;a href="http://aaabedzandfurniture.co.uk/"&gt;AAA Bedz and Furniture&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;. &lt;br /&gt;I could now spend this paragraph wittering about how I have a well known desire for people to comment on my blog, mainly just because I want to know how many people actually read it. I have had a few votes on my poll this week, all of which, except one, are good. One person has said that they didn't enjoy it and that's fair enough. That's their own demented opinion. I can't please everybody, or perhaps anybody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, get on with your week! (After you've commented of course)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-3485754467258831192?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/3485754467258831192/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/03/title-struggling-to-conjure-one-up-this.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/3485754467258831192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/3485754467258831192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/03/title-struggling-to-conjure-one-up-this.html' title='Title: Struggling to conjure one up this week I&apos;m afraid, blogger.com'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-8890328551355739078</id><published>2010-03-08T17:37:00.006Z</published><updated>2010-03-09T17:38:52.508Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Home Improvements'/><title type='text'>Nonsensical sense! Oh, and Happy Birthday Kayleigh!</title><content type='html'>The title of this post is actually sensical - I think. It highlights the point that not a lot of what I write in this blog has any relevance or sense to it whatsoever! It's basically just an sustained witter, rant or moan. With a little information on an item of furniture, ranging from beds to bedside cabinets, of course!&lt;br /&gt;I haven't failed to notice the fact that my poll didn't go down particularly well last week, as I only attained three votes! Who voted 6/10? I hope you're slowly rotting like the trampled faecal matter of a Rottweiler on the pavement of shall we say a street in...Scunthorpe! Joking, of course! (I'm glad lies can't be detected via this).&lt;br /&gt;I am going to put a new poll on this week, and I expect far more votes than I attained last week. In fact, here is a list of people i'd like to vote on my poll this week:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum,&lt;br /&gt;Pete,&lt;br /&gt;Kayleigh,&lt;br /&gt;Stephen,&lt;br /&gt;Antie Rachel &amp;amp; Uncle Bob,&lt;br /&gt;Jess,&lt;br /&gt;Dad,&lt;br /&gt;Zoe, (N.b. persuasion highly necessary),&lt;br /&gt;anyone else who feels they'd like to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do vote, could you please send me a little comment as well? Tha'td be nice - for me anyway! :P&lt;br /&gt;However, if you fail to vote, don't expect a Christmas or birthday present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here we arrive at the part in which I rant positively about a bed! Brb, going to see if I can write a negative review on a bed! No, i can't. Haha. However, there is going to be a re-shuffle in the blog format today! No bed talk for once. I have a rant brewing violently within me, ready to be vomited onto this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ScS, DFS, Dreams!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where to start! This could become quite angry! This is a letter that I would send to the afore mentioned companies, if I could be bothered - which I can't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear ScS/DFS/Dreams,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could I please be notified of the dates in the year in which you do not have a SALE (Hurry, must end in three years.)? My mother and I have actually started bickering about the date in which your sales end. I think it's because they don't! It is utterly farcical, and is really starting to get up my hooter! Stop it you bunch of lying **** *****! It is not a sale if it lasts forever!&lt;br /&gt;You are causing domestic arguments here, wich could lead to violence, knowing mum.

I suppose if you were to literally eat all you would be morbidly obese. Unless you are eating the nutritional vegetable that is &lt;em&gt;manges tout&lt;/em&gt;, in this case you would inevitably be quite thin, I presume. This is the point in which any linguistic knowledge &lt;em&gt;je&lt;/em&gt; possess reveals itself, when I tell you that this is the reason for why peas in a pod are called &lt;em&gt;manges tout&lt;/em&gt; because you are eating all of the vegetable and not just its contents. Unless, of course, you are my little sister's teacher, in which case, you are eating all of the meat! Slightly retarded I know.&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for boring you about a vegetable no-one really desires!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whilst I am on the topic of boredom, I would like to address those few who have negatively commented to me in person about my blog. I have asked for &lt;strong&gt;constructive &lt;/strong&gt;criticism about my posts. However, I highlight the word &lt;strong&gt;constructive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because "I didn't read it to the end" frankly defines the opposite of constructive criticism. So "shove that up your bum and swivel" Cheers mum for another of your regularly overused but underrated sayings that doesn't' contain any overly offensive profanities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet Explorer (Not Responding)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ooh, I hate this, as this infers that I have posed this cretinous machine an array of personal questions that it feels are too personal to respond to. Why can't it just be nice and simple and say "Internet Explorer (Cocked up).&lt;br /&gt;That would bring a smile to my dimpled and round face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I know I am supposed to be talking about a bed or similar, but that can wait temporarily, because I would like to talk about the technological wisdom that has possessed me. I have managed to insert a poll onto my blog. You should see this to your immediate left on your screen. If you could, with the movement of your head, click one of the buttons labeled 1-10 please, that would be appreciated. Try to think of a justified reason for your choice, and comment if you please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the fact I am evidently boring people stupendously, I think I should probably move onto the part in which I babble about a bed that I will never think about again in my life.&lt;br /&gt;This week, I am going to discuss and review the 'Joseph Wales Wooden Bed'. I haven't the foggiest explanation for how this bed reflects Wales in any way, so if someone could please elaborate that would be nice - preferably not in my comments box as I like to save that for praise that I can glance back on and grin with pride. Or alternatively, I can read several ways to improve my blog, and then think, why did I ask for constructive criticism? when, in reality, i'm writhing at the fact that some no-doubt half wit from my school thinks they have the right to read my blog merely with the intention of butchering every paragraph and slating it. On second thoughts, please feedback to me how this bed reflects Wales, because it could be entertaining. If I'm lucky I will have received a couple of comments by the end of the week. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;I am leading myself and about 5 others off the public bridleway of beds. So this bed is a wooden bed that looks nice in any home. It isn't overly sophisticated, and it isn't straw, so I suppose it's in a nice place somewhere between Kerry Katoenail and Sophie Ellis Bextor (need I say which is which?). It has a nice maple finish that will look nice alongside other items of wooden furniture. Furthermore, it has storage space that is useful for a plethora of things. You can find  it  &lt;a href="http://www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;If this hasn't worked as a link, it is my third time of trying, so follow the link at the top of the blog.&lt;br /&gt;This bed is extremely well priced, and not bad looking either. And apparently, it's quite Welsh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weeks post has nearly reached its entirety, and therefore, I would like to plea for people to comment, FOLLOW, and vote on my pole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danke schön x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-7002503143085648444?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/7002503143085648444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/03/boys-babblings.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/7002503143085648444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/7002503143085648444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/03/boys-babblings.html' title='A Boys Babblings'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S41XKAFIYsI/AAAAAAAAAAo/7P_Wx6p3WyI/s72-c/ph-wales-wooden-double-small-double-bed-5271-p%5Bekm%5D448x300%5Bekm%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-1186023790824876900</id><published>2010-02-24T16:18:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-02-24T17:46:23.265Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Home Improvements'/><title type='text'>Fantastic furniture for my fabulous four followers!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S4VkfaHFJfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/1iCyKfOBH2c/s1600-h/vienna+sofa+bed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 140px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S4VkfaHFJfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/1iCyKfOBH2c/s200/vienna+sofa+bed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441866215494854130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't lie to you, I have just spent around two and a half minutes wondering how to greet the four of you! Unfortunately, I have noticed that greetings don't really get any more eloquent than Hello, Hi or Good Day, unless one concurs that they feel perfectly fine to speak like someone who is completely unaware of the last two changes in century. However, I have realised that I do feel absolutely fine to speak like someone who can no-doubt remember the equivalent of two lifetimes worth of haemorrhoids. So, despite of the fact that I should have greeted you around one-hundred words in the past, I am going to do so now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Morrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am writing this with the intention of attaining more followers, some (hopefully) I have never become acquainted with. Unfortunately, I find it somewhat unlikely that my whole four followers will even read this before their expiry. However, I must take the opportunity of bagging a late night by thanking my mother and step-father for reading this. &lt;br /&gt;Before I start to blog about something even remotely relevant, I shall inform you that I have been fiddling with my account settings. This, for me, brings great news, because it allows me to nag you all furiously to comment on my blog, knowing full well that you cannot produce the regular excuses such as: "You have to create an account to comment. It's all too much of a kerfuffle. Do I have to?" Well, in response, no. Though I would appreciate some feedback regarding the blog. I am endeavouring to improve and I would like to know how to do so and, naturally, I would like to know what I am doing correct.&lt;br /&gt;Now my rant has ended, I shall talk about something important. This week, I am going  to review the "Vienna Sofa Bed with Memory Foam" a quality item of furniture, i'm sure you'll agree. From the eye this sofa/bed could easily define suave, sophistication and style. However, the real luxury comes via slouching on the sofa, and from sleeping on the bed within. The mattress is memory foam, as are the two matching cushions provided. Memory foam is incredulously comfortable and in fact my own mattress is memory foam, and sleeping has never been so easy! The foam allows your body to mould itself within it, therefore providing equal pressure to all areas of the body. For these reasons, I firmly believe that you will have to do well to find a sofa/bed that will offer and provide more than this. There is, nevertheless, one downside to memory foam - it's hot! This bed provides a lot of heat and is not ideally suited to those who prefer to be nice and cool when sleeping. For me, it's fine and I actually wouldn't have noticed if mother hadn't have pointed it out one day. (I would like to confirm that we do not spend our entire lives discussing the pros and cons of different beds and mattresses). For my step-dad, though, he dislikes memory foam purely because of the heat. This is the reason why he regularly recycles the simile "I woke up smelling like a packet of salt &amp; vinegar crisps". I have advised him to seek some professional help, or contact Walkers because I am slightly concerned about the fact that he is smelling this way! This, all in all, is one disadvantage in a whole ocean of advantages.&lt;br /&gt;Aesthetically, this bed is utter cheesecake (I adore cheesecake). The colour schemes are fabulous, and there are an array to choose from. It isn't too OTT and it isn't too bland either - even the beige that you see on the photo is divine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                    ATTENTION!&lt;br /&gt;I must bring to your attention that this isn't the limit to this collection. This sofa-bed is also available with matching armchairs, footstools and other sofas. To view the details and other images of this bed click on the following, http://&lt;a href="http://www.aaabedz.co.uk/vienna-sofa-with-memory-foam-p-3118.html"&gt;www.aaabedz.co.uk/vienna-sofa-with-memory-foam-p-3118.html&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;This item of furniture is worth every penny!&lt;br /&gt;I am now calling an end to my third post. It is fair to say that it is plenty long enough. If you had the intention of quickly reading this before you nipped to the loo, you are now certainly, in the words of the great philosopher, mum "Wet panted".&lt;br /&gt;I apologise for this inconvenience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guten Nacht! x (for now)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-1186023790824876900?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/1186023790824876900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/fantastic-furniture-for-my-fabulous.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/1186023790824876900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/1186023790824876900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/fantastic-furniture-for-my-fabulous.html' title='Fantastic furniture for my fabulous four followers!'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S4VkfaHFJfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/1iCyKfOBH2c/s72-c/vienna+sofa+bed.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-2250159630771399252</id><published>2010-02-15T17:20:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-02-15T18:01:40.226Z</updated><title type='text'>Sam is the hero next door!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3mL67OIRsI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lOQ0bPIhXXU/s1600-h/Fire_Engine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3mL67OIRsI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lOQ0bPIhXXU/s320/Fire_Engine.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438531869472212674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi to my overwhelming 4 followers, and to anyone else who bothers to read this! You are now reading my second blog. Hopefully, this blog will be better than the first. I'm not saying my first was dreadful (though you might) but I'd like to improve with each one I write.&lt;div&gt;Over the past week I have been avidly checking my 'dashboard' to see if I had obtained further followers. I stopped after about 3 days, when I began to realise that more days were passing by than followers obtained. I look forward to doing this each week, because anything beats filing! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The product I am blogging about today is unequivocally mesmeric and is a furniture ecstasy for me. The 'Joseph Beds Fire Engine Bed' is a children's novelty piece, that ignites reminiscence. It immediately brings back memories of my infancy, at which point I worshipped Fireman Sam incredulously. These memories, naturally, are somewhat short-term, for I am only 16 years young, and I think it's because of this that I feel a great admiration for this bed. I can only imagine the look on my own face if I was to possess this gem at such a tender age. That wouldn't have been a bad gift at all! In fact, that's utter litotes, it would have been a gift that would warrant praise such as " This bed is ace, it's the &lt;i&gt;mintest&lt;/i&gt; thing in the whole universe! Thanks!" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I would waffle incessantly about the nitty-gritty of this bed, such as, sizes, price etcetera, but all of that can be found at &lt;a href="http://www.aaabedz.co.uk/joseph-fire-engine-p-643.html?osCsid=41102b51632097416777b6b8b8563f23"&gt;http://www.aaabedz.co.uk/joseph-fire-engine-p-643.html?osCsid=41102b51632097416777b6b8b8563f23&lt;/a&gt; . This bed, really is the coolest. I can't put into words the amount of joy this would bring to many brilliantly imaginative infant minds across the nation. I consider this to be my favourite bed within the children's section - hands down! I can only hope that with a hopeful rise in followers, a hopeful rise in sales of this bed will join it. Purely for the little darlings that will receive the bed, of course!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think, I have said everything I wanted to say now. I would ask for feedback, but I failed miserably last week, and further humiliation is something I could do with sparing! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Good day mes amis!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-2250159630771399252?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/2250159630771399252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/sam-is-hero-next-door.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/2250159630771399252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/2250159630771399252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/sam-is-hero-next-door.html' title='Sam is the hero next door!'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3mL67OIRsI/AAAAAAAAAAU/lOQ0bPIhXXU/s72-c/Fire_Engine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217979431740207669.post-7227276292354074403</id><published>2010-02-08T17:27:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-02-09T16:25:39.239Z</updated><title type='text'>The excitement of writing my first ever blog!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3BN-JABqyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0U4jW1RcIfs/s1600-h/original-bedstead-company-the-selkirk-king-size-bedstead-2064-p%5Bekm%5D386x300%5Bekm%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 249px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435930480199445282" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3BN-JABqyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0U4jW1RcIfs/s320/original-bedstead-company-the-selkirk-king-size-bedstead-2064-p%5Bekm%5D386x300%5Bekm%5D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hiya, (is that a good start?). My name is Daniel Richard Else and i am a blogger. A somewhat inexperienced blogger at that. The title 'blogger' will now be proudly attached to my school uniform tomorrow, probably on a Post-It note accompanied with a doodle of a flower. I am now going to (or &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;intending&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;to) blog quite regularly from now on, mainly regarding my ideas of home-improvements. So before i start i would like to warn any readers (i am hopeful that i might get some readers) that my opinion is not a professional one by any means. However, it is an opinion that is worth noting, and discussing and, if so, discarding completely if you think i'm talking absolute nonsense. I have been informed that i have good taste in the world of fashion and design (mainly by others my age, i admit) so i think it's only fair i share my ideas. Furthermore, i work for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;http://www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and spend most of my time, when not doing this, looking and writing about different items of furniture. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My first topic i am going to talk about is beds. And i have picked a bed that i think is nice, divine infact. This bed is called the Original Bedstead Company The Selkirk Bedstead. You can find it by clicking on this link. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk/original-bedstead-company-the-selkirk-king-size-bedstead-2064-p.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;http://www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk/original-bedstead-company-the-selkirk-king-size-bedstead-2064-p.asp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; This bed is the epitome of class, style and sophistication. However, it does not fall into the ever present trap of being snobbish and overly grand. The structure, shape and colour scheme is regal and majestic. This bed apears to be awaiting its king or queen - or both. In addition, it''s not distastefully fancy and archeic, it captures the mix of contemporary and traditional perfectly. This is just one of Original Bestead Company's (OBC) many beautiful beds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is unequivocal that this bed is an aesthetic delight. But let's not forget how it is ergonomically impressive also. The metal structure is tough and not some namby-pamby, flimsy thing. However, the most impressive thing about this bed is the price! &lt;strong&gt;Priced at&lt;/strong&gt; just £405 without storage, this bed is the bees knees (apologies for the cliché). You will find that this bed is priced very well by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nextdaybeds.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;www.aaanextdaybeds.co.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; and is much cheaper than shop prices. This bed can also be delivered within 48hours of your order.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So, you are reaching the eagerly awaited end of this blog, and hopefully not the last of my blogs. I hope you enjoyed it, and i would really aprreciate feedback, positive or negative. Constructive criticism is needed to improve both houses and blogs! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Speak soon, fellow bloggers!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8217979431740207669-7227276292354074403?l=dannyelse93.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/feeds/7227276292354074403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/excitement-of-writing-my-first-ever.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/7227276292354074403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8217979431740207669/posts/default/7227276292354074403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dannyelse93.blogspot.com/2010/02/excitement-of-writing-my-first-ever.html' title='The excitement of writing my first ever blog!'/><author><name>The DIY diaries of 16.5y/o boy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02937585275206259465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S5UlhrSMSQI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9nhCrFBRnPk/S220/blog+photo+daniel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lymDbkFqQ8g/S3BN-JABqyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/0U4jW1RcIfs/s72-c/original-bedstead-company-the-selkirk-king-size-bedstead-2064-p%5Bekm%5D386x300%5Bekm%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
