i just have to comment about the brits.
Warning i am going to rant.
The Brit awards are shown in other countries, so we should be representing our country at this event as best we can, right? But instead, most people that were awarded a brit, especially the english bands, were drunk, they made a fool of themselves, and just made me cringe. As for Oasis, i thought the 'singer guy' (can't be bothered to look up his name), not the one who visited the queen
, is a complete idiot, was it necessary to say "since we won't be winning anything else, i suppose this will have to do" (sorry i prob miss quoted) being picked for the biggest award of the night, he should have been grateful and kept his comments to himself. Ok, glad i got that off my chest! Sorry apologies if i offended anyone.
Right now on to top gear the other night.
Another rant is coming, you have been warned I used to really love Top Gear, and in this recent ep they went to america, for those who didn't see it, and it seemed as though the main purpose of the whole show that night was to send hate to america.
I truly didn't think that the BBC would ever show such a controversial and hateful episode, and i have told them this
. Okay here is what they did, they took old american cars accross america, intending on finishing in New Orleans. Along the way they were set challenges, one of the challenges was to write in paint on each others cars. One car had "country and western is rubbish", another had "Hilary for president" (in Alabama btw) and the other "Man love rules ok" Then they proceeded to get abuse from the locals, it's no wonder really. I'm fine with them saying that that area is too touchy,etc, but they generalised and at the end of the episode, with a lot more things taken out of context obviously, they said "don't go to america" The thing is that in some parts of England you would get exactly the same reaction if you wrote offensive things, yet they make out that all Americans are like that, and IMO it's racism. I hate to think how many Americans they have offended, and in turn it reflects on our country.
I plan to move to America one day, and i would hope to be welcomed, and not expected to be a racist. After all they brought us CSI!
(among other things!)
Sorry i apologise, i have now finished
all my ranting, feel
so much better now! Feel free to think i'm crazy, kind of am! I tend to go off on one occasionally, but I think it's better than internalising all my anger (or so therapists say
)
*steps off soap box*
On to more happy thoughts!
I love ice skating, used to go really regularly to an ice rink in coventry, but kind of fizzled out
Once i got flattened by this 6ft big guy, and then next thing i know, i'm being lifted off the ice by this hot guy, and all these other ice angels all around me! Turns out they were like first aid guys. It was so amazingly cool
Never forget that! :lol:
Anyone watch Bones and ER last night? I love those programmes
