I am very pleased that at last I have a means of venting my anger and expressing my rants to the world...
So here goes,

  Chloe's Olympic Rant....ta da
I have a number of gripes with the Olympics. In my view it is not a great deal more than a glorified sports day, which goes on far longer than it should, interrupts my usual television viewing schedule and quite frankly gets right up my nose.
          The majority of brits spend most of the year complaining incessantly about the UK....its financial issues, its crime rate, its weather and its Eurovision entry, amongst other things. However, as soon as the Olympics raise their ugly head, it appears we all can't get enough of the red, white and blue; especially as the hosts this year, Britain has gone bonkers. If I see another Olympic/Support Team GB/ Official Bog Roll Providers for London 2012 advert, I might just lose it all together. There's only so long I can keep calm and carry on.
          It was the discovery of a certain piece of information which really sparked my prickling irritation with London 2012. The fact that the flaming (quite literally) Olympic Torch had its own first class seat on the plane from Greece to the UK... really? Surely someone could have just bunged it in their hand luggage as evidently it wasn't that special; there was after all another 8000 of the honking things, racking up another million pound to add to the ever increasing tax bill which is London 2012. In my opinion the so called torch relay was a farce anyway, not only was it a most unfair relay I've ever seen, producing a new offending torch at each stop instead of passing it from bearer to bearer, as I had understand went on in a relay. In addition, the torch bearers were supposed to be inspirational and hard working individuals, being rewarded and acknowledged  for their achievements and contributions to society.... Therefore can I just ask where wee Joseph Smith from Aberdeen who's great at Kung Fu fits in? The celebrities weren't a great deal better, Melanie C for example, I think they were really scraping the barrel getting sporty spice in on the Olympic hype.
        It pains me to think of the total amount of money we have spent on the god damn Olympics, and the number of more worthy uses for the money would fill the Olympic Park from floor to ceiling at least 10 times over....oh wait....The Olympic Stadium doesn't have a ceiling! It doesn't have a roof! Am I the only person to have noticed that, or is it a touchy enough subject and we don't want to embarrass anyone further by pointing out this huge cock up? The one aspect of British weather we can really depend on is the rain and with that I can only wonder who the 'Official Provider of Wellies and Umbrellas for London 2012' is?
              Maybe if the stadium had a roof, we wouldn't have to panic so much about security, as that seems to be the latest upheaval in the proceedings. Should be interesting to see how that one unfolds. Personally I would like to suggest the use of supersonic search squirrels to sniff out anything untoward which may harm our beloved Olympics.
            I jest of course, but that's the thing. As far as I'm concerned its a joke, a big unfunny, expensive, embarrassing Joke.








*sighs*   rant over. Apologies to any Olympic enthusiasts 

Typical, in my eagerness to pop my blogging cherry, I now realise my failure to mention a number of important things in my premier blog...... Oops....


So just to clear a few things up


I'm Chloé, just Chloé.


I'm hoping this blog will be some kind of witty, day to day, update of my life. No specific area of interest, just life.



I love writing creatively, but with no real outlet for my inspiration at the moment, I think here is going to be the place to splurge my ideas.

fingers,toes,legs,arms and eyes crossed that Maybe I'll get a readership.....

So, I was at work today and my manager was telling me about her fashion blog, admittedly at first I was a little taken aback, as (no offence) I did think blogs were for nerds and hermits and I consider my boss to be a pretty cool person. Anyway, her blog is awesome, and considering the fact that bebo has been given over to prostitutes and sex pests, myspace has fallen into a black hole, facebook has been taken over by strangers and club networkers and twitter is a mind field really only for celebs. I have decided from this day forward to blog... if that's a verb...sod it its a verb here in my blog,...chloejustchloe.
