Absolute Shambles

As it comes up to the 1 month anniversary of me deciding it would be a great idea to start a blog, I thought a lot about anniversaries this week. For all you History nerds out there, June 22 is a super important one, and if you don't know why then please hand in your History membership card and go join another nerdy order. I have no time to deal with this insolence.  June 22 1941 saw the start of the German invasion of the Soviet Union with the launching of Operation Barbarossa, unleashing what can only be described as a shit storm. To cut a long story short (which sucks since I wrote my dissertation on this), the Nazis were doing alright, it got cold, the Soviets got bored of losing so became super aggressive and fought back. I would mention multiple factors like Adolf Hitler's leadership, Yugoslavia, spy networks, tactics, logistics, propaganda and pissed off partisans in stalling the German war machine but I'm tired and there is much to talk about. 'The head-on

Wow, this is the fourth blog entry. I'm impressed with myself. Honestly, I thought I would have given up by now but apparently I've lured myself into a false sense of security and assumed people actually care about what I'm saying. Thanks to those that keep reading, and if this is your first one then you should start with the first one and read them all. Have a reading binge rather than a TV binge. http://absosham.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/the-first-step-on-potentially-short.html  (hooray for shameless self promotion) Today is all about jobs, and how my journey up to London was one full of excitement, new horizons and how I found the Malawian embassy.  Ben the diplomat Told you. 😄 Right, let's get on with it.

It would be so easy and predictable to talk about the aftermath of the election, and there is a lot of temptation to dabble in this topic. But that's all everyone wants to talk about on blogs and in articles- there needs to be some sort of variety. I love a good election (as last week proved; here's a link if you missed it  http://absosham.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/i-have-fever-and-only-voting-will-cure.html ) but I need a break from politics for a while. All this talk about hung parliaments, the DUP and the hilarious demise of UKIP has worn me out. I will say that it was awesome that youth turnout was high, really shows the difference it can make. Instead, I'm gonna talk about something else that wore me out. That's right kids, I've reached the point in my short blogging career that I can go on about exercise and how lovely it is. 'But Ben!' exclaims the now slightly annoying Internet user, 'Exercise isn't lovely, you become a sweaty mess. Also,

Well well well, look who decided to write another blog post. It's me by the way, if you weren't entirely sure. That's ok, we all make mistakes and it would be rude to chastise someone for such a marginal error. There are some real nasty people out there. They just need to chill out; do some yoga or something like that. Helps with flexibility and breathing patterns- I honestly recommend it, really loosens up those tight muscles. Wait, why am I here again? Oh yeh, I'm doing the bloggings. Right, let's go! Labour campaigning in South West Surrey Fasten your figurative seat belts ladies and gentlemen because election day is coming up fast. That's right, all those posts on social media by people who once in a blue moon decide that they know everything about politics will be all gone soon. Yep, no more articles about Jeremy Corbyn being a potentially bad Prime Minister because he once farted in the House of Commons and blamed it on Winston Churchill, or how The
