is not a developed country.
First of all, one can't consider yourself developed if you have two single taps for hot and cold water. What is this even good for, that you either have too hot or too cold water?
Secondly, single glazing, come on, if you are living in a country where it is considerably cold shouldn't you have double glazing? Where is the point if heat just get lost through the windows? On one hand it just increases your bill, because you have to heat the rooms all the time, on the other hand it is just a useless waste of energy and thereby an environmental pollution.
But the best example has been the last election this week. How can it be, that you run out of ballots if one knows the exact number of voters? Or how can there not be enough staff to serve the amount of voters, so that they get turned away and can't vote. Shouldn't voting be a fundamental right, that everybody should be able to make use of? Furthermore, shouldn't the administration create enough capacities to let everybody exert this right or would they have failed otherwise?
Anyways as I have watched the election at Teviot, I thought that this will be a nice fun evening, with some results. Unfortunately it turned out, that counting votes seem to be a hard task over here. How can it take so long (first result after ca. 45 minutes) to get results? I have never experienced a counting in my life, which took so long... The final result still wasn't available the next morning when I got up...
But even these unexpected things couldn't stop us from having fun. At least the speech recognition program of the BBC brought a lot of fun, as it wasn't really able to write down what people said. At some point it was making covert advertising for Heineken. Another example was, that voters have been affected by 'love bombing'. Who knows what that mean, please let me know. Or, that 'In Afghanistan the prices went smoother than this' was written down, as a guy was interviewed about the election, I'm not so sure if that was what he wanted to say...
Last night I watched a movie called '
Four Lions', quite a fun one. It deals with a bunch of British Muslims that try to become suicide bombers. But this is a comedy and thereby not as brutal as it sounds.
Studying these days is also a success, as by now I have a clean room and freshly cleaned laundry...
Just 5 games played in South Africa so far and I already saw a goal which might be the best of the whole tournament. Not exactly the best goal, but probably the best mistake by a goalkeeper. And where else should this guy come from, if not from England. The country most famous for the best keeper mistakes in history. All this happen in tonight's match England vs. USA, if you missed it, wanna watch it again or just have no idea what happen, you can watch the video HERE.
