Francesca’s List of Ways to Revise the Cold War
- Go and see the new X-Men film, which I’m told is about the Cuban Missile Crisis.
- Read Watchmen. Alternate reality, psh. It involves American paranoia.
- Watch Rocky IV. I think that’s the one with the blatant propaganda… And, sadly, Sylvester Stallone has more obvious surgery in this one. I miss his old face.
- Hit the BBC Bitesize website’s Cold War videos. Ah, they are funny. Really.
What of the above list have I actually done? Technically, none of them. I’m up to the Berlin Wall on Bitesize, I forgot to get Watchmen out the library and I only thought of Rocky today.
You’re welcome.
Ellen, people are giving me grief about those photos (this is the only way to reach you because I’m not on Facebook). Apparently Straightened Hair and Made Over Frank is, well, cooler than Everyday Dragged Through a Hedge Frank.
Francesca's Thoughts 
wow, im impressed. I don’t know about when you’re looking at it, but my list of stupids go off of the white comment box space, and off the entire page when im looking at it. the rest remains in the box though.
i hope there isnt a restriction on the box size.
i will have to check.
not now though. too busy revising for bloody end of years. teachers are treating them as if they’re masters degrees.
stuff exams, gcses, a levels, all that kerrfuffle. Im gonna get a kob in costa coffe as a barista!!!!

When you told me about the ‘stupid’ thing I thought you were exaggerating.
Now I see this is not the case and urge you to lean the comment box – I have had no other complaints.
There are no snogging Cowboys in ‘Rocky’ (at least, not the ones I’ve seen), they are in the Cold War part of BBC Bitesize…. I will sponsor you to sell Indifferent Ignorance! Or make me My Chem stuff.
Not fussed which, to be honest.

Are these snogging cowboys in rocky? Coz i thought it was about boxing. Or is it one of those weird films that has everything from snogging cowboys to ant lumberjacks in?
You guys confuse me.
I will try not to let this STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID, comment box get in the way of my s-b.
Strangely enough, on the second comment (oh no, now i cant see what i am writing….), i was getting out of breathe from just typing what i think, let alone saying it. But if i was saying it out loud, i would probably do a sarah (yes as in your mother) and die of lack of breath. Which could be bad. but it would give you guys some more room in the aprtment on holiday……… ya didnt thin about that, did you/
actually, i would like to think that you weren’t thinking about me dying at all. You don’t hate me do you????
please say no, or i might have to dump you in some seagrass.
will keep s-b ing though. and look forward to the pictures.

p.s unfortunalte, half of the b-sides aren’t on itunes, but can still get them for you (LEGALLLLYYY, don’t worry!!!!)

I liked it when the mop was used to ‘crush political opposition’ or something.

Im sorry there are not many decent spaces inbetween what you said and i said in my comment. i had to delete them because i hate the new commenty thing SO SO SO SO SO SO Much!!!!! it doesn’t expand as you write, and you cn’t scroll down properly, because you have to do iut with arrow keys, and then it keeps moving back up on its own, so i cant sex what im writing, and have to split my comments into two, so i can see. or three. depending on how long it is.
sorry about that. im in one of those moods where i need to rant. i don’t blame you for the stupid stupid STUPID commenty box. i blame wordpress. if they knew that some people lkike to write really really really long comments, then they wouldn’t have changed it!!!! Grrrrrrrr.;
yeah,. so sorry, rant over. now im getting to the point where i can’t see what im writing, because every time i press a key, the screen keeps blinking. not the screen, the box. i don’t have a clue what the hell it is doing.
see you saturday!!!!!!! looking forward to finding out who gets fired? probably me. i di half one kata, and half another.
byeeeee. Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, i cant see what im writing. ill check after.
p.s eLLOEN, GET THOSE PHOTOS ON THE COMPUTER NOW, BEFORE I COME ROUND THE CORNER AND STRANGLE YOU. INFACT, I AM ON MY WAY NOW!!!! lIEK I SAID, IM IN A RANTY MOOD. 🙂

◦Go and see the new X-Men film, which I’m told is about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Never seen any of the X- Men films, and probably never will. Might go to cuba though. Involvement with missiles? me? A relatively high chance that i will come across one somehow, and have much fun experimenting with it. Even if it is bigger than me.
◦Read Watchmen. Alternate reality, psh. It involves American paranoia. Heard lots about it. Never actually read it. seen clips from the film, and heard the song Desolation row, which i am getting very soon, also with the whole of the mad-gear and missile kid and sing it for japan etc.(all the songs that aren’t on the albums)
◦Watch Rocky IV. I think that’s the one with the blatant propaganda… And, sadly, Sylvester Stallone has more obvious surgery in this one. I miss his old face. Like everything else on this list, i havent seen it. But i know its about boxing. … or possibly wrestling. something violent.
◦Hit the BBC Bitesize website’s Cold War videos. Ah, they are funny. Really. I hate bbc bitesize. it annoys me so much.
X 🙂
p.s. still hating the new comment thing. lots.

Oh, Rocky.
It’s boxing. I do a lot of this when we watch them:
