I don't believe it!
I went down to chuck my rubbish in the bin store this afternoon and someone has filled two of the wheelie bins (the very large type you see outside the back of shops) with two double divan beds. I know exactly which flat is the culprit as the beds were on the walkway outside their door last weekend. I was almost speechless. It is the equivilent of dumping two double beds outside your front door and expecting the poor bin men to chuck them in the dustcart. I know it's a pain getting rid of bulky rubbish but would it really have been that much more effort to phone the council and pay the nominal fee to get them taken away properly like the rest of us?! Even more annoyingly they look perfectly OK. They could have given them to a charity shop or offered them to a charity furniture organisation. Now they are in with the putrid rubbish and flies. Tut!
I watched the British Soap Awards last night. In my defence it was on in the background whilst I was revising so I wasn't really wasting time *coughs* Anyway, I was very pleased that Hollyoaks won three awards. That's two more than Eastenders. Lee Ross didn't get a nomination for 'Best Villain,' which he thoroughly deserved for his utterly terrifying portrayal of Owen in Eastenders, but I guess his brief role was too small and too long ago to be remembered. Additionally, the cynic in me thinks that Lee would have been unlikely to turn up to the ceremony being the serious theatre actor he now is so it probably wasn't worth the organisers giving him the chance to win. I was please that Gemma Bissex won for Hollyoaks even though she has been giving blonde girls called Claire a bad name for the past year! I thought it was really sweet that the little boy who plays Tom reached out to give her a big hug when they announced her name even though she plays someone who was really horrible to his character.
Most surreal moment of the evening was when Jason Biggs came on to present an award. He was clearly only doing it because he has a (rubbish looking) movie to promote and wasn't taking his role very seriously.
I missed 'Press Gang' being discussed on Kids TV on Trial last night. Bother not having digital TV yet! I must get it sorted out after my exams are over. That goes for broadband too. I've got to say that I don't consider Press Gang to be kids tv of the 80s though. Only one series was shown in the 80s the other four were shown in the 90s. I consider the environmentalism and day glo outfits featured in the design of the show to be definite products of the 90s.
A movie called 'Paradise Lost' is out on Friday. It stars my sister's, boyfriend's best mate from school, Max Brown (he used to be in Hollyoaks and Grange Hill y'know). It got three stars in Heat which is saying something as it was made a couple of years ago and it didn't look like it would get a cinema release. I'm not going to see it because I don't do horrors at the cinema (I like to be able run away and hide at will when they get really bloody) but it may be worth a look when it comes out on DVD. Desmond Askew (in the cast of Grange Hill when I was first at secondary school and the Brit in Go!) and Melissa George (Angel from Home and Away) are in it too.
Right, back to the books I guess. Competency based interviewing is the next topic errrr yay!
