The King's speech - the new film out (which I want to go and see, if anyone is up to accompany me)...It looks really good...and I can definitely relate to the inability to speak in public. I hark back to my school years when we had to read our passages in our GCSE book - mine was Silas Marner (which is the most lousy and poorly written book that I have ever read - and put me off reading for a good number of years) - my inability to speak was so acute that my teacher had to stop me and say "thanks - ummmm that will do, maybe you should read to yourself." or another example being a history report when I had to recite about the battle of Stalingrad in front of my peers - ended up sweating, turning red and shaking and missed so many of my lines/words (which I had written down) that it made no sense and I got a C - (knob!!!)
I get so nervous, I start gibbering absolute talkish...but now that my ego is the size of a small African Country I am much much better at talking aloud/speeches and well - I do love the sound of my own voice!!!
other news???
A friend got a free bottle of Bollinger Champagne from a complete randomer in the street - no question asked, he just doesn't drink and gave it away - so, that man has restored my faith in humanity...(but I have to ask the question - why do things like that always happen to other people..not that I am jealous, well I am)
