Wow 34,000 views.
Thank you everyone.
34 is sarm,sap,say in phonetic Cantonese.
Enjoyed the crickets highlights yesterday, Cook retiring as englands leading test batsman and Anderson becoming the fast bowler with the most ever wickets.
With Cook retired i wonder if Jimmy Anderson will also call it a day or if he will go on the winter tour.
He might go and pick some wickets...just to give Stuart Broad an even bigger total to chase.
33,000 views or as it is known in slang ' a double carpet... in the old days if you had done 30 years in the nick, the guards would buy you a 3 feet square roll of carpet for your cell. Hence 3 is known as a 'carpet' so 33 is a double carpet..
So i have hit a double carpet of bags...
A bag of sand... a grand.. one thousand.
Hence 33,000 is a double carpet of bags.
Stick another neves on and it would by big plymouth of bags...
Anyway i want to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog.
For 34,000 thousand we can go with some more details about slang counting, perhaps look at jacks, stripes, bottles, scores, ponies and cockles...or even half'a'bar.
For advanced counting slang we could switch for phonetic Cantonese?
Yat = 1
Ee= 2
Sarm= 3
Say=4
Mmm=5
Low=6
Chat=7
Bah=8
Gow= 9
Sap=10
It goes in the 10 unit style... so for example 33 is said as 3 10 3... so 33 is sarm,sap,sarm...
Anyway, thank you for visiting my blog.. it makes me happy to know that you do...
Thank you everyone... the counter just rolled through 32,000. How amazing is that !
Gosh 31,000 came round quick...
Thank you everyone
Wow, 29,000 views.
The counter is fairly racing along now.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to visit and hopefully read this blog.
It has been a funny few days.
The 12th of August would have been my dads birthday, and it is 18 months now since he died.
Son #1 turned 19 on the 15th of August, and got his A-level results on the 16th.
It turned out that when he went onto UCAS to be cleared, the university of Portsmouth had upped his unconditional anyway.
So i have had a week off from work, but am now emotionally exhausted and have to go back to work tomorrow
Blimey, that went to 28,000 quickly.
Thank you everyone.
The counter is speeding up quite quickly now.
There must be some formula somewhere that predicts the growth in views... but i am a social science student.. so no maths for me.
Well not too much in the way of maths, heading into an economics module is September, so there might be maths.
26,000 views.
Thank you everyone, i am made up by that.
You are very kind for listening to my ramblings...
The counter is about to hit 25,000 views...
25,000 which is also the current temperature in Fahrenheit.
Cannot wait for the storms tomorrow night, my garden cannot wait for that rain.
24,000 views. How fantastic.
Thank you everyone.
It might be a sign, but 24 was the age i was the last time England went out of a world cup at the semi final stage..
Very excited to reach 23,000 views today..
Thank you everyone...
23 is also the age i was the last time England were in a world cup semi final... that is a good omen.. hopefully...
22,000 views... how wonderful.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to visit my blog.
It is much appreciated.
And in other news, the counter went past 21,000 today!!
So it was a few days after the exam, but the counter has made it to 20,000 !!!!
That is mad really, that so many people take the time to read my posts.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my blog.
I think i might try and be a bit more interactive from now on... instead of just posting closed questions and statements, post more open questions and generate more conversations with comments left on posts?
So lets try this one.
Will you be doing any extra study activities during the summer? Or will you just enjoy the time off?
I have never read Richard Dwakins ' the bi-cameral mind' and i think it would be rewarding to read it, so that's my summer suggestion. What would be yours?
So my exam result is scheduled to the 17th of July; so begins the 5 week wait to find out the result.
And i am 136 views away from the magic 20,000 views.
The revision is going well...and
Only 335 views to go to hit the magic 20,000 views, with 2 days left to the exam.
I had the ambition to reach 20,000 views by the time i sit my exam on Tuesday.
Only 494 views to go..
How fantastic.
The views counter is chugging along nicely, about to pass 19,000.
Will it hit 20,000 before my philosophy exam on Tuesday 5th of June?
Do the Open University give extra credit for 20,000 blog visits? In case the exam does not go well?
So place your bets; will the counter hit 20,000 before i sit my exam at 10:00 am on Tuesday 5th of June 2018?????
17,500 views, thank you everyone.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to visit this blog.
So it grows by around 300 views a week. So by the time this term ends in June 2018, it will have got to 18500. So unless it continues at that pace across the summer then i will start the new term with more than 20,000 views, which i find exciting.
I missed the 16,500 views milestone and my counter is now growing towards 17,000.
Thank you all for taking the time to visit my blog.
I wonder if i will get to 20,000 views before the end of this module?
Despite my slowing down with this blog, my view counter is reaching 16,000 views.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog.
It is much appreciated, i must show that appreciation by increasing my blog entry pace...
I have been a bit light with blog posts lately
I think i have slowed down abit because i have decided it is better to only post when i hsve something relevant to blog about, rather than just doing it for the sake of it.
Despite my slow down, my hit counter is clocking 14,000 views.
So thanks again to everyone who has visited my blog.
The views counter keeps on rolling, 13500 coming up.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my blog.
Once again I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to visit my blog.
The view counter has just clocked 13,000 views!
Thank you everyone.
The hit counter for this blog is about to turn 12,000.
