The 2008 Olympics is something that as a Briton, may never forget. Its the first time in such a long time that we have had this many medals.

For such a small country, Britain isn’t really doing that badly. I mean. We’re THIRD! Out of all the countries that entered we made it into 3rd position on the tables. Not for total medals, But who cares. We’re third.

My intentions are to keep this post upto date with all the golds that Great Britain win in this years Olympics. Tomorrow i’ll work on the post for Silver medalists as well as Bronze winners.

In my eyes, their all winners.

GO TEAM GB!

Most of you have probably seen this video kicking around on YouTube for the last year or so. I bookmarked it ages ago and it kind of got lost in my bookmarks ( I have THOUSANDS of favourites.) When i was kind of clearing a few of them out, i discovered it was still hiding in there.

I don’t believe that ALL Americans are stupid. Some of them yes, but not all of them.

The main reason i love this video, is because through my years of online (Console) gaming. I’ve met a fair few of them. Most of which resemble what you will see in this video.

If you know how many sides a triangle has, then look away now.

Ok, so today i went out shopping to pick up some food and other things from the supermarket. Not a huge journey, in fact it takes about 10 minutes to get there, so travelling with bags and whatever is no problem.

Anyway, Whilst i was waiting to use the Cash machine (ATM) there was a woman in front of me who was already using the machine. What caught my attention was the fact that she didn’t really seem aware that her purse was at arms length from her, and she wasn’t exactly protecting her pin either. (I could see it and i wasn’t even trying).

It got me thinking about all the shows that are on the TV and even movies made about people getting robbed and how their credit cards/purses and anything else of value vanishes within minutes. It seems that no matter how many TV shows we make about it. It’s just simply never gunna get through.

The woman had obviously never seen The Real Hustle.

If some local criminal had been nearby when she was just having a merry day out at the cash machine. Her purse,bag and cash card would of been gone. (And they’d have probably gotten her pin number to, like i said. it wasn’t a secret.)

So think next time your at that cash machine. Keep your pin covered, try and not put your purse on top of the bin, and keep an eye on whats going on around you. It only takes a minute for everything you’ve worked for such as your credit rating and your wages to suddenly be gone.

Oh and if the woman from Sainsburys is reading this. Next time, cover your pin,keep your purse close to you and don’t fart when people are stood behind you waiting to use the machine!
