He talked about everything and nothing really. He arrived with a new wave of optimism and disappeared without a bat of an eyelid (mainly due to the UK's adoration New Labour as they swept into Downing Street).
Alright kind of bloke in truth, could've fulfilled any other job in Government at the time to a high standard except that of Prime Minister!

Things of note during his lengthy, but seemingly brief 6 and a half years as PM:
Signed Maastricht, and...
lost election to Labour in landslide.
Thats about it really!

A school which completely and utterly saved me from the horrors of South East London's education system.
The community feeling is like nothing I've ever known; sometimes I feel that the pupils there don't appreciate it as much as they could do - they should try my old school, then they'd realise how bloody lucky they are!
Place where I reached the limits of my academic potential, which is more than I can say for my past experiences.

Comparisons to my old school :
St Joseph's - acres of space to play competitive sports. Old school - a small park to run around the outside of (which was across a busy road).
St Joseph's - teachers who can speak English to a high standard. Old school - Among others, a black Nigerian teacher who's own name could'nt be disyphered by her class let alone the Science lesson!
St.Joseph's - pupils who hold doors open for each other and had have good general discipline in comparison to other places. Old school - ok...I saw a black year 10 kid get arrested in the school canteen for whacking a boy from another school over the head with a hammer at a bus stop; need I say more?

The more sinsister offspring of the legendary yuppie of 1980s Britain.
Their primary directive at birth is to leave the leafy surburbs of decently sized urban areas where they reside with there retiring and massively wealthy parents and moved inwards to gentrify all they lay before them. Notting Hill and the Docklands of London a perfect example.
Now with regular accents as opposed to the Home Counties twang of the generation that came before them.

Known as a country which is part of the UK, but called "The Province" (also called a few other things!).
Thatcher fought desperately to fend off the prospect of joint-sovreignty in the 80s over it with the Republic in the south.
Just an annoying space of place which if put up to referendum, Britain would probably give over to the Republic! Nothing to offer by way of wealth or culture - it just exists.
Plus I'm just rambling to vent out frustations over nothing in particular and taking it out on N Ireland (!)

1. Became known by its current style in 1993, when Maastricht was signed and the keys to the UK and frankly everywhere else in Europe were handed over to new management in Brussels.
What started out as an innocent economic adventure, through the 1980s, slowly turned into a nightmare political descent as it became apparent that - lets be crude and frank - France and Germany did want a union in which they couldn't and didn't have DIRECT control over.
2. More recently things have become more serious and sinister with firstly the Treaty of Nice and now the blueprint for a country called Europe with its own constitution.
Frankly the United Kingdom, should go a step further and vote on membership not a pathetic federalist vision of a constitution for a whole continent of countless races, languages and cultures that simply don't and won't ever fully integrate.
Home rule for Britain - God Save our Head of State, the Queen!

Some are born to live feeling like this and others aren't its as simple as that.
I am one who gets *fucked off* quite easily and regularly when watching the news or adverts (commercials to Americans) {why am I telling Americans the translation when they're too ignorant to do it for us!}
ANYWAY...
Fucked off is also a good phrase to shout like fuck off or shit!
