Britain

What I hate about Britain:

  • Keith Chegwin
  • Power cuts

I said there would be more on this later, and here it is.

OK, Mr Chegwin is probably one of the most annoying people on television. I know that most critics say that most people are annoying but he surpasses all of them joined together into a cornucopia of annoyingness. If any of you ever decide to watch GMTV in the morning on ITV and wait for a few minutes, you will soon hear his voice. Luckily I have not seen his face for a while, but even his voice is bone-shatteringly annoying. He sounds like he should be training Cbeebies presenters in a shed in Basingstoke. For fear of becoming a TV critic I shall now stop speaking about Mr Chegwin and move on to power cuts.

On Thursday, when I was typing my ICT coursework up, ready to be handed in the next day, a power cut happened. Word in it’s infinite wisdom had ignored my settings of saving an auto recovery document every 5 minutes, and when I tried to open the backup copy it claimed it was corrupt. 40 minutes work gone. However, there were two useful outcomes. Firstly, Keith had just started to speak on TV and was cut off :D and secondly it caused the electricity board to come out, and therefore cover all the cables in plastic so the brickies that are meant to be repairing our house don’t electrocute themselves.

Oh, and just for the record, theres an awful lot more I hate about Britain but I don’t think the MySQL table storing my blog could cope with it.
