Simon Fletcher

I lost a friend this year. A close friend. Its nothing like ive ever experianced before in my life.

Its shit.

There is no other way of describing it.
I'd never been to a funeral before. Let alone one for a 19 year old.
He was the nicest, kindest most amazing guy could meet.
He was living the dream. He was living his dream.
At least he died doing something he loved.

Simon I will always remember and always love you.

Your in our hearts forever.

Cinderella. With a bit of poetic licence...

It was a dismal day in Cinder's life,
She was scrubbing floors for her father's wife,
She stood up and groaned, she threw down the rag,
"I'm sick of this muck," and took out a fag,
She threw it down again, "No I'm not gonna smoke!"
The tears in her eyes, the feel in her throat,
She started to weep, she started to cry,
Then suddenly a voice said, "Good god, you alright?"
She looked up in shock, surprised at the sight,
For in front of her appeared; in a big flash of light,
A women was there, with a wand, she had WINGS!
And on each polished finger were stunning gold rings,
Cinders approached her, "Who on earth are you?!"
"What are you doing here?!" So down she flew,
"I, my dear, am your fairy godmother, a fairy."
Cinders was shocked, her face did look wary,
"I shall grant you one wish and only the one,
So mind what you wish for, it can't be undone."
"Hm," pondered cinders, "I know what i want,
To get me out of this terrible dump,
I want new some new clothes, a car and more!
And anything else you have in store,
The party at the palace, i want to go too,
I want the money, the prince and the royal loo!"
"Well," said the fairy, "You ask quite a lot,
But as it's you, I'll give it a shot."
With a flick of her wand and a swish here and there,
A few hours later she walked down the stairs,
In the palace, to the party to meet with the prince,
The others watching her started to wince,
They danced and they danced, they never did stop,
Then it struck 12, the chime of the clock,
Stopped Cinders from dancing and made her rush out,
This made the prince call to her, scream and shout,
"Oh come back to me darling, oh what is your name?"
He shouted out again and again,
But alas, alack for she did not hear,
Nor see him shed those silent tears,
He ran out, to follow her, almost unaware,
Of the shoe he did pass that lay on the stair,
He saw it and stopped, his heart felt like lead,
He took it with him back up to bed,
"The women this fits shall soon be my bride,
I'll search for her tomorrow, I'll find where she hides."
He soon forgot all and then fell asleep,
Whilst back in the cellar Cinders started to weep,
"He's the perfect man, the prince for me,
But only if it could possibly be."
She too fell asleep, but not for long,
As she soon was woken by her stepmothers gong,
"CINDERELLA! COME UP HERE NOW!" She screamed and she cried,
"I'm cooking your breakfast," Cinderella did lie,
"Well hurry it up, and bring me some tea!"
A voice spoke softly, "And a whisky for me."
She turned and she saw in front of her eyes,
Her fairy godmother to her surprise,
"Or anything strong, i don't really mind,
As long as you close that goddamn blind."
She covered her eyes and winced in the light,
For the man that i love and adore, always will,
When there are plenty of other girls to fit the bill,
To be his wife, and lead him through a glorious life,
Oh help me please, can't you see?
I feel as rotten as can be."
"Alright," said the fairy, "I'll help you out,
As long as you don't scream or shout,
I'll give you one more wish, that's the lot,
Or else my boss will have me shot."
"I wish the prince would love me dearly,
As i do him so very clearly,
I wish he'd come down here, down to me,
Hold me close and never leave,"
"And..." "Yeah blabla I know the rest."
Her wand held tightly to her chest,
She flicked her wand, just once more,
And voila! Who came through the door?
But the handsome, gorgeous, caring prince,
He hugged her kissed her and ever since,
They have enjoyed their life together so far,
And cinders got her new clothes and car,
But i hear you say, what of her evil stepmother?
She too had found a new manly lover,
And he has a daughter like cinders too,
Who has to wash and scrub the loo,
But someday maybe her prince will come,
And they together will have some fun,
But for now their house is full of laughter,
The prince and Cinders lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Getting down and dirty.

I've decided i should maybe explain a little more what it is im actually doing with my life.

Right now this very second im having a break from revising second order differential equations and its totally wank if im honest. So i thought i good way to have a break would be to sort out some photos that i fancy sharing with everyone :]

Basically.
In around 3-4 years time i will be officially part of her majestys armed forces. Pretty daunting prospect yeah i know. Especially when at the age of 16 i had not only decided but in to motion the plan for the rest of my life.
Starting with the application to welbeck defence sixth form college. Rigarous procedure including interviews and horrific amounts of paperwork follwed by the typical AOSB (army officer selection board) which is what every person wishing to become an officer in the army has to do. Ours was slightly shortened due to the fact on average we were all around 5-10 years younger than the typical adult applicant. However i made it through and went on to start my time at welbeck in which i completed my A-levels.
The photo above was taken on one of our first socials at welbeck. We went to alton towers and it was awesome. Because id never been before!!!
However it wasnt all fun...
A typical day was;

06.55 - Get up and ready for breakfast
07.10 - go for breakfast
08.30 - first lesson
09.30 - second lesson
10.30 - break
11.00 - third lesson
12.00 - fourth lesson
13.00 - lunch
14.00 - Either a fifth lesson, alternate activitie, music lesson, or sports training.
18.00 - dinner
19.00 til 21.00 - PREP
21.00 till 23.00 - free time
23.15 - lights out
And this happened 6 days a week every week aside from holidays! The only difference being wednesday and saturday afternoons everyone took part in one sport or another. For me it was swimming in winter, netball in spring, and triathlon in summer.

Due to it being a "military" sixth form we also had to take part in CCF and numerous exercises.


Just coming back in from a lovel morning tab. Im not sure why i look so happy!



Taking a massive leap of faith :/

Up in the sangers. LUSH.

Scaling a rather large net climb

Can you see me?!
