British things that have no logic!

Firstly, let me just tell you that I am British and I love living in Britain and a lot of what comes with living here.

But sometimes there are things that I don't quite understand as they don't have any logic. Like in Britain you are aloud to join the army at 16 years old, but you are not aloud to play (maybe I should say meant to as some people break this rule) Call Of Duty (also known as COD to gamers) until you are 18 years old. WHY?! WHY IS THIS RULE IN PLACE? In life you cannot turn off a game if it starts getting too graphic, so why hasn't this rule been fixed.

But that is not the only illogical thing that is in Britain, there are others. Many others, and if I tried to name them all, my brain would probably have a melt down. So here are some other things that I think a really illogical in Britain:

(I may have this wrong, so tell me if I do but...) You can smoke at the age of 16 but not buy cigarettes until you are 18, although the age might be changing to 21.

You can make decisions about your future at 16, but you are not allowed to vote until you are 18.

You cannot be sold any alcohol until you are 18, but you can drink on certain premises when you are 16/17 if you are accompanied by an adult. (I've checked! - http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/check-the-facts/alcohol-and-the-law/the-law-on-alcohol-and-under-18s?gclid=CMeupebtj8wCFQtAGwodFKwMVQ - Britain only, I think)

And you can get married with your parents' consent, but you are not allowed to buy scissors until you are 18.

If I try to think of any more, I will end up throwing my computer across the room. So if you can think of any more, wherever you are in the world (I know there are things above that have different ages, so include them as well) you can leave them in the comments.

When I went to Iceland

So, about 3 weeks ago, I went on a school trip to Iceland. And apart from the almost constant smell of sulphur (you know, the smell of rotting eggs), which greeted me every time I had a shower as well as many other places, it makes it into my top three places that have the most natural beauty, (the Lake District just ahead in first and I am yet to find the third, so do recommend where else I should go if you want).

I took a lot of photos whilst I was there and thought I might share them. Enjoy.

What a random thing to see at Heathrow Airport. Love it all the same!

The view from the plane as we descended.

Perfect temperature for a dip.

View from hotel window. Hahaha

SO MUCH SNOW! WHOOP WHOOP!

A waterfall you can actually walk behind. :D

Just casually walked up 527 steps to the top to get the picture.

The beaches that can kill, (imitating screaming)

Warning: if you ever go on the beaches in Iceland, stay at least 15 metres away from the water, otherwise you can literally get pulled out and drown as there is no way of getting back.

An inside geyser. You wait for ages and the poof, up it comes.

Welcome to Price of Madness

I never thought I would be doing this, but here I am.

Welcome to my blog where I will post anything and everything I like (well, within reason), and that could be anything from book reviews, things I find interesting, or just simple facts that I think are useful to know. Basically, anything to do with LIFE.

At the moment I am just sitting on my bed, in my room, after eating tea, and just pondering on what to say. But now my mind is wondering into.................. I don't know what, but maybe I should keep this post short and sweet (just like the seven dwarfs from Disney's Snow White, or maybe it is just me who thinks that is funny). Anyway, I want to write a least one blog post a week, but I might write more or less, lets just wait and see.
