Sam's Moments : The repetitive question

I know that sometime people do forget the answer to a previously asked question but this is seriously getting to me. For the 3rd time in the past week just before we started our final exam of that day Sam sits there after the teacher asks "Does anyone have an important question they need answered before the exam, If not can you fill in the front of the exam." to which Sam put her hand up and asked "Miss, What does forename mean? I know what a first name and a surname is but what's a forename?" To which everyone in the class either sighed or started laughing. "Sam, it is your first name. It's a fancy word for first name." But, the main part of this is that a couple of yeas ago everyone in the year would have put their hands up and asked that question and not be laughed at due to it being a genuine question. But, now it seems to most people like it should be obvious by this age to know what forename means. So my question to you is; is it a stupid question being asked? Or is it a stupid word being used? They could have use a more accessible word like 'First name'. So what should they have used?

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Before I go an further will drop this disclaimer of you, It is an unbelievably rubbish film and I had low expectations but, it sadly met my expectations. Now I will carry on with my post.


the story follows the remake of the original of the Mel Gibson classic, Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by the cult leader Immortan Joe but then is put on the front of a war rig driven by the sick war boy Knux (Nicholas Hoult).  After Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) takes Joe's wives which he usually keeps locked up so he can have healthy babies away from the apocalyptic world struck with an oil and water famine. So to help them escape, Furiosa took the wives and made a descent to the green lands. To be honest I did feel sad when some characters died along the journey and the villain did get killed it the end but, it seems to me that it was a waste of good actors on the worst remake since Jaden Smith's Karate Kid.


I rate this film a 12/20.

Sam's moments : The warm refrigerator

I don't know how hot your country can get but in England it is currently hot which is about 22c. So there was Sam and some other friends and me last Friday on this boiling hot day just waiting for everyone to come out to play. so Sam and I have bought some ice cream blocks and we are eating them yet they are melting pretty quick so Sam looks over to the neighbours front garden where there lay a discarded refrigerator waiting to be picked up by the scrap metal man. to which Sam asks "to stop these ice creams from melting can we put them in that refrigerator?" However, she then answered her own question after looking between the ice creams and the refrigerator, "Oh wait it isn't plugged in." I think for the world reading this there should be a piece of punctuation for moments like these which you can heavily sigh at.

Bag Tekkers

I don't know if you have a friend who you love so much but, it is still funny to irritate them, well I do. His name is Dyll. So today we were sitting in the canteen when he got up and went to see the headmaster as he is head boy and well he has a neat tendency so its funny if where he has 3 folders/books to rearrange books, folders and paper world within each group and so that is what we did. We got the science folder out exchange the science book for an English one and a science test for a maths one. Then, we did similar things to each of the other folder and random sheets. Then, we got his neat pencil case and rearranged the pencils into something like if a unicorn farted.

But, then Dyll started to walk back to the table and so everyone is trying to put the stuff back in his back so he wouldn't notice and he is nearly there and the folders are completely out and he would know immediately something was wrong.

So before I could come up with a better plan I simply pushed the bag over onto the floor so the contents were all on the floor which gave George enough time to put everything back in the bag and Dull just thought it was an accident.

Later in science he opens his bag and we're all just peering over his shoulder to wait to see his face and he just looks at me and goes "It's happened again hasn't it." And so we're all laughing and he's even chuckling and so we explain the bag tellers moment of which was my creation and he starts laughing to.

I don't know about you but, that seemed like the highlight of my day next to a 2 hour 15 minute English exam.

The hitchhiker incident

My friends and I were on the school bus the other month just about to leave school when my friend Billy goes
"How comes there is a hitchhiker standing over there?" Pointing at the man.
At our school many cyclers like to pull in and have a break because it is on the edge of the countryside so we didn't think much of it.
Until, we drove past the said 'hitchhiker' only to realise that it was the French teacher Mr Barratta who just happened to put his thumb up at the wrong time wearing an trench coat and a back pack.
My friend Billy was taught by him for over 3 years yet he still rationalised that it was more likely to be a hitchhiker than a teacher in a school depot.

A new segment: Sam's moment of the week

Now one of my very close friends Sam was not born naturally blonde yet she appears to be blonde on the inside and I can explain how she embraced this.
As the not so quite sharpest knife in the draw she often says some of the simple things in life and well my group of friends now have a quote of the week based on her special quotes which express these blonde qualities.

For example, there was one a bus timetable on the table and my friend just so happened to be talking about going on holiday to the Caribbean to which Sam asked "So you can drive a bus to the Caribbean." To which we thought she was joking turns out she was serious.
Now if you ask her she will simply just say "I meant Airbus like that large plane." We know she didn't mean that.

This week's quote is " It's weird when you think about it that Feathers and Quills look so similar."

Thank You Sam for being to ever clever person we have come to love.
