Hardfi..................

We went to see hard hi 6 hours tanding in the kinda rain but it was good !!!!!!!!!!!

Sainsburys!!!!!!!!!!!!

this weckend on our weeckley visit we went on an expolre to find asda.... as you porbally guesss form the tille we fialed after looking up where asda is on the map annd then finding the buses that go past there we decide to go for so offf we went on the 18 bus to asda havig never reallery been anty where neasr it before it was quite gunn if it wasnt so wet after a while and being stoped at sainsbureys the bus drive actulley asked us if we new where we were going so.. after explaing we were after asda and him having no idae
"where looking for asda"
"which one?"
"Any one we dont mind really, any supermarket which isnt morisons really for a change"
"Sainsburys"

at which point we had to get of the buss in a shame faced ay to got sainsburys which aprently we thought would be more expeniseve

but as i bourght nearley all sainsburey own barages my shoping was a m,as of white and orage it all in seemed ok

Manchester

this weeckend or actually last weckend me and nat decided to go visit the withworth gallerie in manchester whilst there decided to hookl up with my moz!!!! its reall odd inroducing old friends to new and so on because they only know you you know ther'll get on really well with each other and be friends buthtey have to get to know each i found this very stange....

any way the galleries as it was tiping it down we dieced to duck in to the city galleriey which is one of those deciving building that seem small form the out side but is hudge on the inside they ahd all sort.. we started i n the room with jyust the oddest stufff looked lik it was colected form a old garedge the we realise that they had an exibition oin miffiy because her 50 bday this was really cool and there was the funn of the giant miffi i didnt realies that mifi is actually duch...

there where as normal the mass rooms of pictures of random things the gallerie have collect theses seem t oapear in mass in every gallerie and seem allways to such the life out of you. in the same way all musesm do after awhile.

there where also a section on buttons which was quiet coo lthouhgt i never really understood the whole obsetion with buttons that many girls seem to have i just like the ones shaped like cows..

then there was the lowri section this was not to huge as most of the work i asume would be int he lowery musem itself.. the lawery reminds me of my nan's and antys house because thet have pictures on the wal i think this is pobabley a nice conertation.
after egguarst ing the kids section in the gallerie where they had a bridget rilley one of my favoret artists i think beacasue the way she painstakingley dose every thing so clean so,mthing i never manages to acheve and the way it makes your eyes go funny which most people dnt like


any hoo we than went to the whitworth the reasnon we came to manchest this was olk but we couldnt find any william moris stuff on dissplay baecaues lat time i visited there wasa huge wall so i decised having come so far we should ask and they said they had loads of moris stuff its all just hidden away (well bnot there word exactley) but yuo have to make an opoint ment to see it what is the point of that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! may i ask you have all this resorces but not on show eghh youi dnt even have to put orgianls out it hink it is very silly
but we entained our selves with the fabric samples

but slithley pissed off we were walikg alomng and decided to vivist the mancester musem this i musst add from previouse experiace is great and can keep you efteratianed for hours its full of stuffed animals af all sorts ... it was quite funny to whach nats reaction to this. i like the way that they are on show it kinda good they still are rathter than being hidden away because it is no longer seen as socialy exapetabel to stuff an imals on show but we can still expericance this and the anmial may not have died humainley but its lasting a long time.....

have been befo and entertain our selves for ours taking random photos next o animals we seyt anotu looking for the penguins..... there where none no matter where we looked but the poper bear weas styill there one of my favortes it is quite good to see what scale they where/are in real life.

tgere wer also the live animals such as the igarner very funny looking creater and the little lizards which were proceding to mate and mad my day wen the small child asked its mother why they were climbing on each other.... it was obne of those seral moments that only ever seems to happen in film but the parent answered very well....

Globalistion

looking at this I was reminded of the lecture we had on globalisation bey Karen Denis...
This lecture really interested me because it reminded me of my geography a-level and how we did so much work on globalistion and how LEDC's (less econmicaly devloped countries)and MEDC's (more econmicaly devloped countries) have always had huge conflicts of interest; the west and the MEDC's wanting to exploit the cheap labour and the new resorces the LEDCS have, and the way that the LEDC's are happy in a way for them to have them cos of the small wealth the MedC's seem to offer them.... it is only when the countries become NIC (newley industrialised countries) that they realise that we, the MEDC's, are exploiting them and they start to use our growing reliance against us.
