(10 Nov 2014, 5:16 pm)Andreos1 I met a guy once in a professional capacity. He had a Slovak/Eastern European name and was born in Germany in 1941.Air, I did think about the Police cadets before I joined however Air went along more with what I enjoyed and have an interest in so I went for that instead
As much as I wanted to find out what the background was (you can only guess), I didn't ask.
On a similar note, heard a guy on Radio Newcastle a short while back on the news, telling the story from the weekend about 1D fans and their online posts querying the little red flowers the group were wearing on their chests over the weekend.
Absolutely disgusted.

Which form of the cadets are you in?

Walking to Tesco tonight, as ever my head was somewhere else but I was able to see someone walking in the opposite direction so I walked on the opposite side of the path, but what I failed to see was a cyclist coming in the opposite direction behind the other person and decided to get past her at the same time as I was getting past the person walking and then came the argument about me not seeing him yet I couldn't see him as he came from nowhere and was wearing dark clothing and had no lights and he seriously expects to see him.
Someone also nearly ran me over as they suddenly decided to make a turn without indicating when I was crossing the road.
Also some miserable git crashed a trolley into me as he was rushing to get on an empty checkout so of course I couldn't see him come from the aisle at speed and just gave me a look to say "stupid ****"

(10 Nov 2014, 6:14 pm)aureolin This really irritates me. They've all day to do what they need to do, yet decide to do it during the morning or evening rush, then have the audacity to complain about it. May just be me, but I'm sure folk are becoming more miserable! Headphones are a godsend...

On the E6 this morning, driver stops the bus, cuts the engine out for the moments silence at 11am...
An old guy gets up and demands rather loud to be let off...
The guy was probably of an age to personally remember World War 2...
The kind of person who probably think kids are little criminals with no respect for society and it is people like him who need to practice what they preach

(11 Nov 2014, 6:22 pm)Marcus How nice of the driver to do that.Bet it is very emotional listening to a Holocaust survivor
Miserable git.
Anyway Fozz, the Holocaust survivor spoke to us for about an hour, and was very intriguing.
Eva Clarke, also known as 'The Baby born in a Concentration Camp', was born at Mauthausen concentration camp on April 29 1945. The only reason she was not gassed in a desperate attempt to cover up the incident, was because the gas chambers at Mauthausen had been dynamited just the day before!
The camp was liberated just days later - her mother had actually come from Auschwitz! Of the other 15 members of her family when they entered Theresienstadt in 1940, only her mother made it to the end.....

(11 Nov 2014, 6:47 pm)Marcus I'll be honest, nobody in the threatre was evidently showing their emotion, not even the teachers!I do see what you mean...People may not show it, but I bet to a man, the majority would find it emotional, it would be hard not to be...
To be fair, the stuff she said wasn't very graphic, either. For example, she shortened stuff like 'if you were selected to go the right, you were marched into the fields and shot in front of the next line of prisoners' to something more 'if you were sent to the right, you died'.
Do you know what I mean? Still sad regardless though.

One place I would love to visit is Auschwitz, but I would find it hard to bear as I am emotionally unstable...
I remember meeting a guy on holiday years ago who told me he had met some old Poles in Warsaw once and ended up taking him and a couple of mates to Auschwitz and he told me, as soon as they saw it, to a man they were openly crying

(11 Nov 2014, 7:05 pm)Marcus As a history fanatic, I've got to admit on my bucket list, a visit to Auschwitz and a visit to Dachau are absolute musts! Maybe Belsen as well.

(11 Nov 2014, 7:27 pm)Dan Every year, two upper Sixth Form students from my school go to Auschwitz. Typically, students taking History are offered the opportunity to go before others, though as nobody will be taking A2 History next year, it'll be open to all straight away, I'd imagine.
The two students which went this year are both girls - one of which I'd say is far more sensitive than the other - and it was a life-changing experience for both girls. The one who is more sensitive came back and told me that she cried at the sight of it, because you could see scratches on the walls and such.
Not sure whether I'd want to go or not... In Year 7 I went on a week-long trip and it was all linked to the wars and Remembrance Day. We went around trenches and war memorials - but I can't remember where it was now! Guess I'd keep an open mind to it, but apparently the girls had to be at Newcastle Airport for 5am in the morning or something.

(12 Nov 2014, 7:43 am)Marcus I'm terrible when it comes to computers, unfortunately.
I'm good at doing a few things on them, but I'd say the only thing I've been one of the best in my class at is the Code topic.
