I follow a little bit of it (the Olympics); the curling (the GB team is Scottish, well the female certainly and i think the mens is too, so there is that interest level) and the ice-hockey can be very good to watch. I thought the GB Gold was in some sort of sled/tray thing which you hurl down some circuit head first at silly speeds, but the overkill in the media puts me off and i lose interest quickly so it could very well be ice-skating – i have no idea.

Well i got it wrong too. Every time i put on the GB team we are either being disqualified (some Scottish lass in a skating sprint thingy – the cyber bullying she is getting is a disgrace and the people who did it should get hammered by the law), finishing four after getting overtaken by an Italian (some snow thing) or just losing. 

I can’t say i care too much about Team GB.

Elise Christie, a Scottish speed skater who was disqualified twice from races. 

From pathetic internet and mobile trolls, nobodies too afraid to say it to their victims face(s) so they hide behind keyboards and devices.

I’m home (yay!)
Well that was a complete waste of my time :/ They could have done a 2 hour course instead of stretching it over the weekend but (hopefully) I’ll get a job out of it.
The course consisted of:
Rules (what ever you do, don’t put a finger on the students, if the student has fallen let another student pick them up, right…)
Irish dancing (The same dance about 10 times, fun)
Sleeping in the coldest room known to man kind (I was in a sleeping bag, with pyjamas, bed socks and a bed robe on and I was still freezing)
An interview
Eating loads of food

I’m starting work experience tomorrow at my old primary school because I’m on midterm break now so that should be interesting

Good to hear you got back and safely.

How were the folk who went as the weekend went by? Did the silent girl come out of her shell? I do hope so. These trips away can be very daunting for some.

Aren’t things like that you went on generally made to last a weekend when they could take 2 hours? Maybe its to prepare you for work when you have to suffer 5 hour team meetings which could have been done in 30 seconds.

There was about 50 of us on the bus and 300 people there in total so I think she met up with some of her friends.
I know, tell me about it- I wanted to get out of the place at 8pm on the Saturday, it was boring me so much. But, alas walking home in the wind and rain for 7 hours wouldn’t be the nicest thing me thinks and knowing me I’d get lost :/ I also got looks of disapproval when I told them I wasn’t going to a meet-up in early March, feck off I’m going to see ‘The Producers’ that day!
As the days go by I swear I’m becoming a Mean Ms. Mustard
Now where the hell did I leave my ten bob note?

Quite right. Far better to stay in the dry and withstand the surroundings that get soaked and blown to the next county. You were assertive and confident in yourself and your convictions and able to not bow to pressure from others. Very good skills for your CV.

I won’t go and search the prices of such purses as i might cause a lot of angst here when i scream at the price. Lets just say that anything more than £20 and i’ll be horrified.

I presume there is a difference between the UK and US meanings of purse by the way as a purse in the uk is quite small, isn’t it? Glad to say i have a large knowledge vaccuum when it comes to purses.

Did anyone see the skiing in the Olympics?

Miller won the bronze medal and then the reporter wouldn’t shut up about his dead brother until he broke down. It was horrible and disgraceful and pathetic and about every other negative thing you could say. And the worst part is that it was on a 9-hour delay, so they could have cut it out, but they didn’t.

EDIT: Still no video, but here’s a transcript. Disgusting stuff.

I haven’t watched the Olympics this year. I guess I’m more of a Summer Olympic person.

How awful for a the reporter to do such a thing! Some people’s children I swear!  

Whilst the Christin Cooper should have stopped earlier Miller brought it up and i agree with a tweet Miller posted – “My emotions were very raw, she asked the questions that every interviewer would have, pushing is part of it, she wasnt trying to cause pain.” Nearly all journalists would have continued as they are looking for the emotion behind the story, at times more for the emotion nowadays. I don’t like how its going that way however. There was an interview with a farmer’s wife on the BBC News last Friday afternoon and she was talking about how they were maybe going to have to think of a career move if things don’t improve over the next couple of years for them due to the weather, economy etc. At one point the interviewer said to the lady “and i can see a tear on your cheek, its obviously affecting you” to which she laughingly replied “no, its the rain”. He then made a joke out of it which is fair enough, what else could he do?

The reporting of the floods and the sound bites by the public has, at times, been dreadful.
