"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

Well the election is done. The decision has been made. I am seeing alot of articles around here about what, coulda, shoulda and woulda. Speaking as a Brit I can't say i am thrilled about the decision that was reached. However, it was a decision that had to be made by the American people, and a decision they will have to live with for the next four years. So for their sakes I hope it was the right one. There is little point in looking at what could of been. The more I learn about Bush a...

Well here I am again. I've been throwing myself into uni work, and now I'm taking a little break, so here I am JU. Just a catch up I guess. I don't actually know who will read this, but I shall write it anyway. First on my agenda is the American election, don't worry this isn't going to be long, I'll leave that to the politic masters of JU. All I have to say is, I'm slightly disappointed, and I can't believe it's dragged out so long. I actually got rather excited about it, and I'm still...

There's something about the way I'm feeling at the moment, that I just truely can't explain. It's not sad. It's close, but not quite. I promised myself I wouldn't write about this, but I find writing is the best therapy for me, to get all my thoughts in order and things in to perspective. I don't even really know where to start. This weekend has been the most awful weekend I have had, since, well since forever. It was supposed to be the best weekend. I was going to do something that ma...

When I was eighteen and got my right to vote. I wasn't really interested. I didn't have a burning passion to change the world. No British political party were telling me anything too radical, and I knew that it would most likely go a certain way. So I wasn't to bothered about it. Turns out alot of young people thought like me. That it was difficult to relate politics to our lives, so we didn't even try. I went on happily thinking like this. As I've got older, more and more issues have...

I feel a bit out of things at the moment. I'm spending less time here, and things have changed. Of course that is what happens with this site. It is evolving all the time, and we as a community are evolving. I don't really feel part of the JU community at the moment, and that is no ones fault but my own. I don't exactly know how or when it happened. I think I've just had other things on my mind and JU has just taken a back seat. Some people here I considered to be friends, turned out n...

Well it's official JU I am an old boring hag. I went out on Saturday night for a drink with the girls and then on to a club to shake my ass in an r'n'b club. Sounds all fun doesn't it. Can I just ask, when did the world get so violent? Maybe it's just because I don't see it, but I witnessed so many fights, and so many injuries on Saturday, it was awful. Why do people get so nasty when they have had a few drinks. We were waiting outside the club to get in, me and some friends. I was mes...

I think I will be ready to kill someone pretty soon. I'm reaching boiling point. I went through a phase not long ago of having a really poor sleeping pattern. I was going to be late and getting up far to early and I couldn't stop it. If I went to bed earlier I would just lie in bed wide awake. Unable to sleep, and well waking up early, you can't realy control that can you? Then it seemed to pass. I started getting relatively good nights sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable time, and wa...

I never had a problem with Brit troops going into Iraq. Many people here did. I can fully understand their position. It wasn't our war, we had no place there. We were simply following the lead of a country, bigger and more powerful than us. Many people here thought we were better than that. That Blair was better than that and him sending Brit troops over there was a sign of weakness more than anything. I don't think it was. It was something that had to be done. To show our support o...

I am a magnet for the strange folks of the world. I don't know what it is about me, but they are all just drawn to me. I think I must look friendly or something. I did a very brave thing today, and went on public transport. Silly, silly me. I had two encounters, and I just didn't know how to respond to either. The first one was erm...odd. I was drinking a bottle of water and this guy was sat in front of me. He glanced behind him a few times and I didn't think anything of it. He was ...

I've noticed on a few of my top articles, and other peoples, anon users are posting adverts to their sites! How annoying! Not just one either... a few of them. Is there any way I can stop this? Or do I just need to stop anon users being able to post?

I KILLED MY MUM'S RAPIST Oct 14 2004 You always say you would kill for your kids, but you don't expect your kids to kill for you By Paul Byrne And Daniel Boffey RAPED mum Yvonne Bick said yesterday she was proud of the teenage son who killed her brutal attacker.

He d...

The internet is a wonderful place it opens up all kind of doors for us. We have google at our fingertips which just about has information on everything. We can organize our lives online. That's why it's so wonderful. We can shop, listen to music, find latest reviews, see what's on at the cinema. Some people use it to download music and games. Now many artists had a problem with this, that it was taking away from music sales and so on. Though the majority of their money isn't made throu...

1. Point out the lice in his beard to make him feel self-conscious. 2. Pause for a moment, listen carefully, and say, "Doesn't that sound a lot like a B-52?" 3. Ask him if he's looking forward to replacing Hitler as Satan's favorite chew toy in the lowest inferno of Hell. 4. Tell him all about your great vacation to Saudi Arabia, where you went absolutely everywhere and did everything, just stomped all over the place. 5. Use his satellite phone to call the talking clock in Bue...
