OK, so we have been getting the occasional sunny spell but it is pretty short lived. I want to be able to sit outside in a t-shirt and feel warm, have a BBQ and just generally enjoy being outdoors. However, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer, as the met office has issued another severe weather warning after forecasters say some parts of the country could face up to another 50mm of rain over the weekend.
This weather is certainly very strange and it does make me worry what the consequences will be if we have a repeat of Monday’s downpour, with half the country still underwater and other parts at breaking point.

Well done Tim – delighted that you eventually won your match and made it through to the second round of Wimbledon although I have to say you did make heavy weather of it and had us sitting on the edge of our seats. But then who am I to say?! At least you are in the top league of your sport - I only manage to play tennis once a week and then for just a bit of fun! Let’s hope you can do better than you did at the Nottingham Open and make it through to the third round and even beyond.
Go Tim, go!

Presenting Gemini PR & Marketing......
Over here at Gemini it's not all about coverage for our clients, we do like to hog the limelight ourselves occasionally....
We've recently developed quiz-tourettes as our local radio station, Trent FM, has been running a quiz for businesses in Nottingham called the Work Cup. This has led to some of us randomly shouting things like 'pig' or 'Harry Potter' whilst half listening to the radio.
So we finally bit the bullet and called in to have a go. We were on this afternoon and I must say we were robbed on the tie-break question, so didn't get very far! Still, it was a bit of fun.
Now Dianne's photo and a profile of Gemini is going on their website www.trentfm.co.uk over the next couple of weeks so make sure you have a look!
In the meantime, do you know what the nine moons of Uranus are named after? Or which animal shares it's name with the term for three strikes in ten-pin bowling?

The Trials and Tribulations of Paris Hilton
I just cannot understand why there is such media interest in the so called celebrity, Paris Hilton, leaving prison. Who really cares? Is it important? I don’t think so.
Why can’t the media focus on real news rather than wasting hours and hours waiting outside a prison for someone who’s only on the celeb pages of the tabloids because she’s got a rich daddy?

Tis an embarrassment-please change the logo!!
It was in 1988 after watching Liz McColgan get the silver at the Seoul Olympics that I got the first inkling that yep, I think I’ll be an Olympian when I grow up…then watching Sally Gunnell in Barca ’92, that ambition was cemented! I ran regularly, I even wore the same gloves/trainers/leggings as my favourite runners-(I even threw my gloves aside in the last 500m of a race once, a la Paula). I dreamed of the day that I would win in front of millions of people, crossing the finish line first, and trying (and failing) to stop my tears as the union flag was raised!!
However, after starting well, (county records etc) I discovered beer, then I discovered extreme sports…and, well, now I have a knee injury which means I have gone from running 30 miles a week to 3 if I’m lucky!!
(Sorry…this IS going somewhere) When I heard that London got the Olympics for 2012 I was absolutely delighted, and I had the old pang of the national pride…which diminished somewhat with the launch of the Tiswas logo! Hmm yellow and pink-what would Trinny and Susannah say?! It is awful, what a farce!! We have had some great Olympians in the past, Linford Christie, Daley Thompson…to name a few athletes, and of course more recently Chris Hoy, Matthew Pinsent etc and when we get the chance to show off and show our great sporting prowess we become the laughing stock-and I hear its here to stay!
Why can’t we have a logo which sums up our national pride, the great Olympic history we have, something strong and inspirational…bite the bullet Mr Coe, admit your defeat and give us something to inspire those who are upcoming sportsmen and women, those who already have achieved greatness and of course, those of us who were inspired many years ago, and wanted to be a part of it!!
