Snow Joke

Well its actually more serious than that.

Although I compained earlier in the year that it hadn't snowed here yet it has actually been snwing here today and despite there being rain also it has actually lying on the ground. However we have reciently had a Indian chap start in one of the departments here and before today he had never seen snow before. Guess I should stop complaining about not having had any up to now

Sporting Disasters

Well only a couple of hours ago I watch the US ice hockey team continue there rediculous run in the Olympic with yet a further run. However unlike the other losses that they have had this means that they are infact on there way home and back to train with there respective NHL teams. Finland however move forwardinto the next round of the comp and closer to possibly winning a medal.

Now Im listening to my football team Rangers losing at half time by two goals to one in a home game against the Spanish side Villireal. Hopefully we can still win but the two away goals will hurt us regardless of the final result tonight in the second leg. But hopefully we can still get a couple of good results and continue forward into the last 8 of the European Cup.

Jamboree 2007

Well since last Saturday Ive been told that Im getting to go on to the World Jamboree as an Assistant contingent leader. Aparently there are 9 of us going including one of my close friends although she happens to be in a different Contingent. Surrey Scouts have 75% of 3 contingents each consisting of 27 Scouts, 3 Leaders and then a further 9 young people and one of their leaders. Just got to think of a way to raise the money need to go now. Any zany ways of raising funds for 30 people would be great so let me have them

Jamboree 2007

Had a fairly busy day today. The Scouting Association are hosting the 2007 jamboree here in the UK were 40,000 participants are due to fall in Essex during the first week in August next summer. What has all that to do with today well each area (county) puts forward a contingent of participants and today I attended a selection day complete with interview for one of the spots for one of the Surrey Scout Contingent Leaders. So the day was spent putting up tents, building a ballista out of garden canes, orienteering, making lunch, devising a sketch for a camp fire about the UK and having a short interview all so that I could sell myself to the team of selectors into becoming a Leader for the event during next summer.

All sounds and actually reads fairly straight forward which I suppose it wasn't however as Im absolutely knackered this evening and could hit the hay at any time I feel. Im quite sure that I wont have too late a night as Im visiting my Grandparent tomorrow for lunch before I go off to Octopush training in the evening, all that means Ill miss the rugby but should mean that I get in in time to see the Super bowl which is been shown in full length rerun in the evening on ITV which should be good. Not sure how late it will be on knowing my luck the match wont start till midnight, but one can only wait and see. So no revealing the score just yet, as for who I want to win, not sure, it would be nice for either side to win it as I believe that even though the Steelers have one it 4 times they haven’t one it in about 25 years or so however since the Seahawks have never been there and the Steelers beat the Viks last time they were there my vote should go with the Hawks.
