As you might be able to tell, I've added a daily poll tracker to the blog for the general election. Just so I could see it really.
Also hello again :)

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner... and Other Stuff
Dave: So I'm watching '21' right now. It's pretty awesome actually. For those of you who haven't seen it, Jim Sturgess (some random) and Kevin Spacey (yeah, that guy) star in a 'based on a true' story of Geekery, Gambling and 6 MIT student's "Life Experience". So yeah, it wasn't bad. I'm not going to do a review of it, as there are much better people to do that (shout out to Kermode), but it gave a welcome break from revision, and an excuse for chocolate raisins!
Thomas: Mmm...chocolate raisins...like chocolate peanuts but with raisins...mmm...
*Ahem*
I've seen the film 21. I think. It's not a great film, it's not a bad film. It's one of those films that's completely forgettable. You'll forget you've seen it, not memorable in anyway really. Well except for that. It was good enough, entertaining for however long it was and I'd probably watch it again and then forget about it.
Wait, what film was it again?

Thomas: Guess who just got a ticket for the Heineken Cup Final tommorow?
That's right, me :)
Dave: Lol rugby

And lol at Dave for not liking rugby. He's missing out.

The Return of WWR
Dave: And so we fan into flame the still glowing embers of WWR's past. Do you see the red streaks across to the East, as a new dawn approaches? Do you hear the birds begin to call, and the creatures slowly stirring? The night is gone. The wind has lifted, the sails are taut once again. A new chapter is ready to be written.
The page lies empty before us...
Thomas: "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a colla-blog? Is it a colla-blooooooooog?"
Yes, that's right! WeWhoRamble is back and better than ever! Well, actually, its not. It's not gonna be daily, it's probably not gonna be regular in anyway at all. But it'll be funnier for it. That's the plan at least.
To start us off, I think we'll have a classic Dave moan/rant about how much fun his Advanced Higher Maths exam was today. Dave...
Dave: Thanks Thomas, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome back our devoted readers to WWR. We bowed to the public pressure, the petitions, protests and court injunctions and have returned from our mid-season 59 day hiatus. So we're back, and 'better than ever' (see, blind optimism lives on)!
So onto the matter in hand: very predictably my Advanced Higher Maths Final Exam was absolutely awful. Just terrible. By far the hardest paper I've ever sat, and by far the worst I've done in an exam...and yet...none of it matters. None.of.this.matters. School has served its purpose, I have my place at University come September, and any results from these examinations cannot change that.
Despite the best efforts of my parents and teachers, I have realised this fact (a little late admittedly), and so its fair to say that revision has gone firmly into 'Cruise Control'.
... And the world collectively says a massive: 'Who Cares!'
Still, that was three hours of my life that I'll never get back, spent in an assembly hall with a curious knocking noise, that really starts to bug you after a while. Also, this is a shout out to all female (and some of the more bizarre, male) invigilators.
**DO NOT WEAR HEELS AND WALK ABOUT WOODEN FLOORS OF THE HALL DURING AN EXAM.**
Nothing more annoying during a test in my opinion.
Eugh, rant/moan over.
I'm tired, but I don't want to sleep and sink back into this recurring nightmare: Giant isoceles triangles chase me through terrifying Argand Diagrams, where imaginary numbers surround me before I'm divided by zero and wake up screaming.*
Thomas: I dropped maths a few weeks ago. So I spent the day sleeping, playing games, and then went to glasgow for my brother's birthday meal. Fun day actually :)
*I'm not actually that sad, well not yet anyway. Four years of maths coming up..... *facepalm*

All Things Must Pass...
Dave: And so, it comes to an end.
The music fades, the dancing stops.
The torrent reduces to but a drip.
The flames are gone, embers remain.
Thomas: Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances WeWhoRamble is taking an indefinite break, i.e. neither me nor Dave can be bothered with the blog anymore really. It's quite difficult to think of something witty and clever to write every 2 days and even though the blog is meant for rambles, we still want to uphold a certain standard and we can't really do that if we just write anything.
Dave: So instead of letting WWR die a slow and painful death, we wish to send it away into the setting sun through a great glorious, final collablog.
Farewell WWR, you were a good passer of time, but now your time has passed.
/Dave
Thomas: *sniff* Well said Dave, well said.
We might occasionally post on here though, just not every day. So stay on the lookout cos Dave is determined to make his prediction come true.
We'll be back.
Don't think of this as the end of the end. It's the end of the beginning...maybe...

3 in a row. Just like my press-ups record.
It's the third day of consecutive blogging for me and it's beginning to tell. I'm breaking out in sweats, got the shakes, I'm having hallucinations and all the while I'm thinking about what I'm going to write in my ALL IMPORTANT BLOG!
Clearly this is a lie. The blog is not important enough to devote my undivided attention to but its far too important to be sarcastic about it's importance.
So I promised you a proper ramble today and I shall duly deliver. I will say absolutely nothing of any sort of importance whatsoever and you will be left thinking "why did I read that?" and "I'm going to read it again and tell all my friends about it". Hopefully.
Unfortunately, having only been in this job for less than two months, I'm a rookie. An amateur rambler. I'm like a policeman on his first day on the beat, only it's my 52nd. As such you might think that you think that this website is not for you. But it is. It's for everyone, it's universal, fun for all the family (except the dog because dogs can't read. But you knew that already). Right now we have 6 followers and 1300 page views and I know that Dave and I only account for 2 of those followers and about 900 (a conservative estimate) of those page views. So I know somebody is going to read this. In fact, you are reading this. Which means I'm maybe not the amateur I think I am. Either that or you're really easily amused.
Anyway, I'm all rambled out but here's an exciting video of Obama's Elf.
Have fun with 3 in a row blogs Dave

A Day of Sport
Today was a day of sport for me. And by that I mean I did no sport whatsoever. In fact, I did the total opposite of sport and watched TV for literally most of my day. But at least I was watching sport, which surely counts as a sport, no?
First was Italy v France in the rugby, an exciting game in a completely unexciting way. 8-50 was the score and yet it was a bit of a bore. I made that rhyme up all by myself :)
Then was England v Scotland. We were robbed! That english guy who tackled Thom Evans when he was about to score is a tool. The thoughts of joy and delight that were moments away from becoming a reality were cruelly crushed by his timely intervention.
I hate to admit it really but...England deserved to win. I could of course be happy with the fact that England won cos I'm half-English, but the half-Scot inside me said he would leave if I did that. And he's the half that knows my pin code.
After that, it was the big finale. The crunch match. The decider. Wales v Ireland, the battle, and it was a battle, to see who would be crowned 6 Nations champions. Could Ireland win the Grand Slam for the first time since 1948? Or would Wales snatch Ireland's potential joy from them just as Ugo Monye had done to Thom Evans and the rest of Scotland earlier?
In short, because apparantly "rugby is rubbish" and "nobody likes rugby. Or you for that matter", the game was technically full of mistakes with only glimpses of good rubgy but it was more dramatic than when Dirty Dennis returned from the dead. Wales were 15-14 up, 3 minutes to go when O'Gara succeeds with a drop goal attempt. Then with the clock showing no time left, Wales get a penalty 58m away from the posts. Stephen Jones steps up and absolutely hammers the ball downfield but it falls 6 inches short and Ireland win their first Grand Slam in 60 years. The most tense thing I've ever seen, more twists and turns than B-boy Turbo's latest ever-changing story.
And if you don't like rugby, rugby doesn't like you.
Oh and Murray beat Federer :) But Middlesbrough lost :(
A proper ramble tomorrow I think. Then on Monday it'll be Dave again I think. Sorry about that. And then on Tuesday it'll be Dave again. And Wednesday. And I'm sure he'll put lots of effort into all his posts.

Dave. What is he good for?
It's a good question and to be honest, I've not got much of an answer for it. But let's make a list shall we? As revenge for him leaving me and the blog to fend for ourselves for a whole weekend. Disgraceful.
1. He does the blog with me. Most of the time.
2. He's good for...er...um...funny jokes? Nah, no one will believe that. He's good for losing prediction league I guess.
3. He's good for losing picture challenges too.
4. He's good for making lists about.
And that's all I got really. Although I suppose he's also good for complaining that all my blogs seem to have "an edge" against him and I'm constantly taunting him. But let's face it, he's away for the weekend and I'm left in sole control of the blog for 3 days. What did he think would happen?
This blog-on-a-bus was written whilst I was on a bus. Keep up, fellow ramblers. Honestly.

What's That Coming Over The Hill...
...is it the summer? Is it the summmeerrrrrrr!
"Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere..."
That's right, as Thomas observed yesterday: it's sunny in Scotland!!
I know what you're thinking,
'Two posts back-to-back, based on the weather? What a rubbish blog!' But seriously, today I was sunbathing...SUNBATHING IN MARCH IN SCOTLAND!
I <3 Global Warming
*Update* I just had a big paragraph in here about the basketball season, but then I accidentally deleted it. And I can't really be bothered typing it all up again. The jist was: basketball is fun, ooo its sunny etc. Oh and I'm away for the weekend so you'll be stuck, I mean privileged, with Thomas 'blogsitting' for the weekend.
Now, Thomas, I've left you pizza in the fridge and you can watch as much tv as you want. Just make sure that the blog gets tucked up into bed before midnight every day and I'll be back before you know it on Monday. If there's an emergency you can reach me on my mobile. Be good and remember, I'm Trusting you Thomas... Don't let me down.
Back on Monday!
