Currently, I am watching the mens 100m heats at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu. After 3 races, in which the top 3 progress, only 1 White guy has made it into the next round. Annoyingly, the White guy in question is Cristophe Lemaitre and despite being the only White man to run under 10 seconds, he is also French. I'm not dissing the French, but if I'm honest, it irks me that their White guy is infinitely better than GB's best White sprinter, Craig Pickering, and also beter than most of our black sprinters too. I imagine he's quick because his grandparents had to run away very quickly from invasions almost every other week. Oh, I went there and made a reference to the second world war! (Please, if you are French/German do not stop reading this blog because of me. I am truly sorry for any offence that caused.)
Moving onward swiftly to the second topic of this post. I an going to talk about my mum. Yesterday she bought a new phone. However, today when she went out she took her old phone. This is because she has no contacts on her new phone yet because she doesn't know how to transfer them across. Unfortunately she is of the generation who had the choice to either get facebook and blackberries and xbox 360s and be technologically up to date or to not do any of those things and get confused by all sorts of fairly commonplace technologies. This is only her second mobile phone in the same time as my sister, who is in her 20's, has had over 7.
