I can’t be the only one thinking this Olympics will completely suck. I mean we’ve already had athletes getting lost and the main security firm not supplying enough personnel to guard everything, I can only imagine things getting worse from here on out. Plus by the looks of it it’s going to be the wettest Olympics to date, I know they can’t really control that but it will probably have a big effect on the games, so I wonder how many events will get cancelled due to rain.

I suppose athletics fans will be excited about and it will inescapable on the TV but I don’t see me getting in to it at all. I never was interested in athletics or the Olympics, I don’t particularly care that they have come to my home country. Apart from some economic benefit, I don’t see any other benefits from these games I don’t expect there to be any long term positive legacy at all.

Maybe I’m just being my usual grumpy cynical self but that’s how I see it. It might not be as awful as I think it’s going to be but I’m not getting my hopes up because, well, it is England we’re talking about, we probably couldn’t organise a decent fight in a boxing ring.

This is a TV show where people bring in there old stuff and try to sell it four fairly rich auctioneers, they all go away and think about what they want to offer the person and if they don’t like it they walk out. Once the person leaves a room they can’t go back in to it if they get lower offers from other rooms.

I find it funny how many people walk in to the show, expecting to sell it to someone and walk away having not sold it, because they got greedy. The people usually have a minimum price in mind and even if they are given it in a deal most people try to ramp up and the price and then lose out on a deal. This happened several times on this mornings show I think only two out the ten people who went in came out having sold whatever it was they were selling.

It just goes to show that human nature can be very funny sometimes and how ego and greed works. Of course it sometimes goes down to what people perceive as being valuable as well and how people treasure their possessions.

I absolutely love classical music, there are a few reasons why I do and I’d like to share them with. First I do have to admit they’re not really on a musically intellectual level as I never studied music on any sort of deep level.

So the first reason I love classical music is because it suits all moods. You can be sad, happy, chilled whatever there will a piece of classical music to go with it. The second reason is that it is awesome, it can be absolutely epic. It can chill your bone and make your hairs stand on end. The third and final reason is that it is always better than a lot of music that is produced today in the popular charts.

so first off when I initially disabled it I got an email saying if I “needed” I could use my old account to login and my page would be reopened. I thought it was odd, but I thought nothing of it. The next thing that came to my attention was that I received multiple emails saying I had pending notifications. Again I thought it odd but I didn’t bother with it because I couldn’t be bothered to go check it out. Then my sister got a message which was included me in the recipients and went on to my profile and it was still accessible. So this annoyed me a little as after going through all the steps to deactivate my account in the first place,  not only had Facebook not deactivated my account but they had also kept all of my details when I had asked them not to. Either I have missed something important or Facebook have been complete bastards and not let me do want I want with my account.
