Parachuting- Paddy
I spent a good 3 hours today dropping parachutes that I made out of a bin liner off of the various internal balconies at college. (Yeah my college has balconies INDOORS, it has that much class.) I did this not just for "the lols" as some (but not me) might say but for my A-Level Physics grade. I had to do a practical experiment involving dropping parachutes and the various factors influencing the time of the 'chutes descent. For a piece of coursework, I found it surprisingly fun not least due to the fact 4 other boys were stood with me, all doing slight variations on the parachute dropping theme. One boy even rigged uo an intricate parachute guidance system to make sure all his drops followed the same path. The rest of us were envious of his genius but only briefly. It kept screwing up and snagging his parachutes and thereby made his results take a lot longer to collect. I gloated about this, because I got to leave about an hour before him.On a different note, the Young Boys will not be building upon last week's stirling 2-2 draw. Today we have a league cup tie against the Tuga Stars. The Tuga Stars are 5th in Division 1, the Young Boys are 2nd bottom in Division 2. I am not confindent in my teams ability to match or better our superior opposition. We can only hope that unforseen circumstances prevent the Tuga Stars from arriving at football on time and therefore have to forfeit the game. A non-lethal and non-injuring car crash would do nicely. Or any other way of preventing them playing will do. Anything at all.
