School and Somerset

Hey :)

School started again yesterday (tuesday) and it was crap... i had detention, and she didn't even have the decency to tell me why, not amused. And on friday until monday i went to somerset with le famille (i dropped french, so don't punish me if it is wrong :D)
Somerset really is old lady central.. Seriously; old ladies everywhere, i mean, we were on the west somerset steam railway (yes, it is as fun as it sounds.) and we had this old bat, seriously, i hated this woman and we had to sit across from her for an hour and a half. She sounded like the Catherine Tate nan, honestly. So this woman was with her daughter (i assumed, they looked related) and her son-in-law; he got up to get them some sandwiches and asked what they wanted, she said "OOH, get me anything, as long as it don't 'ave onion, i can't stand the stuff. Honestly, i don't mind boiled onion, ooh no, but any other type of onion... eurgh". So this poor bloke went and got them some food and when he came back about 15 mins later, the woman was pointing at the menu card that was on each table and said "Ooh, say we're going up are we? we're going up?" (We were going to minehead and minehead was at the top of the map) and her son-in-law said "well, technically we're going down hill from this point onwards, but we are going up in the sense of going north, if you like" she responded "so, we are going up? like, going up?"... i think he gave up :L

I'm not sure who reads my Blog but those of you who do, thank you :)

Giving up on BEDA :P and YOUTUBE LAYOUT

I have decided to leave BEDA, i heard that VEDA has been moved to August, so i will probably do it then, as i have the whole of August to myself.

OK, so if any of you go on to youtube regularly then you will know that the video page layout has changed. If you want to voice your opinion to Youtube about the redesign then go here: https://survey.googleratings.com/wix/p4095212.aspx
Harrassing Youtubers won't do anything, but that could. (i havn't been harrassed, i just find it annoying people commenting on videos sayingg "new layout is shiit" 5 people like this :P)

Wanna read my survey answers, well here they are:
How satisfied are you with new version of the YouTube video page?
Extremely dissatisfied, Moderately dissatisfied, Slightly dissatisfied, Neither satisfied or dissatisfied, Slightly satisfied, Moderately satisfied, Extremely satisfied.
(lol, how can you be "slightly satisfied" :L)

Typically, how often do you use YouTube?
Multiple times per day

What, if anything, did you find frustrating or unappealing about the new YouTube video page? What new features or capabilities would you like to see on the video page?
The comments section is jumbled and not very professional looking, personally i prefered the way that the video description, subscribe button and other users videos were all in one place, its all spread out and confusing now. Most of the "relevant" videos aren't even relevant. I really really dislike the "Like dislike" buttons, the 5 stars system was so much better, this is Youtube, not facebook. surely the thumbs up/down thing is a LOT more degrading than the stars?

What do you like best about the new video page? (this one took a lot of thunking)
the video description being below the video, this way its easier for the people in the videos to indicate to the description.

Did you experience any problems or difficulties with the new video page in the last two weeks?
Yes, Specifically: [Favouriting] (right?)

If you could describe the new version of the YouTube video page in one word, what would it be?
Different

Did you take the guided tour of the new video page?
Yes, i thought it was [biased and unhelpful]


So there are my answers, personally i think the new video page is.. well... horse shit :)
the guided tour:

I just found that they fixed the captions, so they are no longer hilarious on this video... ¬¬


Thanks for reading :D
