Lets eat breakfast!

Wow.
At last I have time to add something to this sparsely populated blog. I'd post more, but I'm sure the majority of people reading this realise that I should be doing revision. This usually involves me spending this browsing around the various revision websites, simply because I am infront of a computer.

I contemplated doing some old fashioned news watching, finding some article that annoyed every nerve in my body and writing and ranting about it. But I managed to see the BBC breakfast news a few mornings ago, and decided to rant about that.

I used to be a sucker for early morning TV as i was in too much of a coma to do anything else. Now, since I've taken to going on the 'net early and browsing stuff on that, TV comes in second or third best. Now, to be honest, there are two channels you watch in the morning, either BBC breakfast, which is not really breakfast at all, as i've had more substantial meals on a school trip, or GMTV (GOOOOD MORRNNNINNG TV, yet they never actually say it). I used to watch GMTV, but eventually got tired of insane presenters, completely irrelevant and cheap reporting and basically it being a complete load of offensive crap.

Since, I've watched the BBC version, which is filmed in a big open studio, with big screens and a sofas etc, and a coffee table, where it and what's on top of it never actually change. The presenters were ok, but i really only tune in to the sport section (7:35, the bloke is the best presenter they have). But recently, one of the female presenters has suddenly devalued the entire show and its contents.

Its been about 3 weeks or something in a row where at certain points, she's burst into tears, laughing her bloody head off over, I dunno, may as well be every single comedy show ever conceived has been flashed in front of her eyes, in the space of 15 seconds. I aint bothered about the fact she may be laughing at something generally funny. But what boggles my mind is that they return from a link up of someone talking about covering your garden in tarmac (opened my eyes it did), to her holding a instrument made out of car parts, unable to talk and doing her best impression of a acidic reaction.

Had she never seen the bloody thing before! It can't of been that new, as they have to be briefed on what topics they are going to do. I could not believe they had let her onto a live show, the other presenter even tried calming her down, but he failed, but if he'd managed to calm her down, he possibly would of been hired as some kind of therapist. So thats enough crummy news for me, sorry Mr Sports guy, but the BBC sport website is easier for my sanity.

In other news, next Thursday, it seems likely that half of the teachers at school will go on strike. I did go looking round for more details, but failed. We are been give more information tomorrow but word is that you can either come in to a special place and do coursework or something, or stay at home, though that last option seems unlikely. Amongst all this, word around the students is that they are going to go on a predictable strike about teachers being able to look through your mobile phone if they confiscate it, for illicit material etc. Please grow up guys and just keep your hidden away, as you'll lose any strike or protest. I won't be joining, as it causes far more trouble than its worth, and my phone camera is too crap to take a decent video of a teacher and make it look like they have danced around the class room then thrown a student out the window.
Cya next time, whenever that is!

EDIT: Hopefully, me and my next level buddy Matt will soon be recording a podcast of some description. Just need to spend some money first....
