Youtube provides some serious procrastination

Sometimes I flick onto Youtube to listen to some new music or watch football highlights with Turkish commentary but in the last week or so the site has provided some gems and hard-hitting videos that you need to watch to know what people are talking about.

People who know me will know I'm a strong advocate of Twitter and the top trending topic this week has been #MyTramExperience and the 'lady' (in the physical sense) in focus is Emma Watson from Croydon. I will let you watch and make your own opinion on this

Really is disgusting that this is a member of the society I share, I hope she issues a public apology once she has been dealt with by the authorities or she and her son (who looked completely innocent to the vitriol her Mother was spouting) will be in for an uncomfortable reception from society, especially if she lives in multi-cultural Croydon. 

A second video is one that has had me in stitches is one involving a deer-herding labrador. Now, the jury is out on the true name of the dog. Is it Benton/Fenton but either way this video is a great bit of opportunist videoing. 


Bit of a feel good video next from America. Think the news report pretty much sums this up perfectly. Just puts a smile on your face and after Racist Tram Lady above and perhaps restores your faith in humanity.



Finally, one that really touched me and brought a tear to my eye. As a journalist, I have to respect the quality of reporting displayed here and the dignity and respect between the characters involved.
This is from Sky Sports News on Monday evening. Bryn Law, an experienced reporter for Sky is also a close friend of Gary Speed who was found to have taken his own life on Sunday morning. This was a huge shock and a news that really saddened me and thrust the topic of sports psychology and de-humanising sportspeople back in the media spotlight. 

Law, was sharing with the world his last memories of Gary Speed on a live broadcast from Leeds' Elland Road stadium. 

Here is what happened. 

Even still watching that final video - it puts a lump in the back of my throat. I was lost for words.
