I liked this one from his early days. I didn't like a lot of his songs to be honest. Hard to believe it's the same person really.....I think he went a bit mad.

Re: GE5B Applications for Camp USA
June 18, 2009 by rbarringtond
I wish to apply for the position of organizer, advertised in InsideOut on 12th May, 2009 (Ref: 53).
I
am 25 years old. I recently completed a degree course in design at Hong
Kong Polytechnic University. During school, I participated in activities fhrough the Hong Kong Award for Young People which gave me the chance to face challenges and build up team
spirit through expeditions and residential projects.
Last summer, I did voluntary work in Tai Hang Youth Centre in Hong Kong. I counselled F.5 students, which enriched my verbal and written communication skills.
The main reason for my application is that I really enjoy activity organization. Not only can I build up cooperation between teenagers and adults, but also train them how to overcome challenges together. Also, I can provide first aid service in the camp if necessary.
I look forward to providing you with a well-organized and updated portfolio at the interview. Thank you for your consideration.

Susan was really stressed by all the attention....you can't take a woman from a small town with no experience of working with (lets face it) complete bastards who will exploit people for their own gains ...sensationalise them ..build them up....just to sell newspapers and get a TV audience....and expect them to cope.

Thanks for that Cyrus...very helpful.
Why don't the rest of you try posting a video?
Tell us why we should watch the video or why you think it's interesting!

Thanks for the help Cyrus! Maybe you could explain how to embed the videos in a post as you have done....you could do that in this thread.
Re: H1N1 in HK Policy

Was the swine flu a media circus?
How about these comments by someone who lives in Mexico?
Now, I have to say that i have been the world's most cynical person about swine flu since day #1. It smelled bad to me from the very beginning -- like a media circus, like an over-hyped fear, like a very convenient set of circumstances that would encourage people in other economies to stay at home as summer comes on and spend their dollars there rather than in Cancun or Mexico City. At one point the "epicentre" of the aspiring "pandemic" was traced to a pig farm in the town of Perote. When we are in Coatepec we look out at the peak of Perote's mountain. I'd say that a crow could fly there in about half an hour. It'd be maybe 40 kilometres as the crow flies, maybe a little more, but not much. Yet all our friends were saying from the outset "not a single case in Coatepec", or even in Xalapa, with a metro area chasing a million souls.
It's the same today. I asked at the pharmacy where I went to pay the phone bill yesterday (as one does at the pharamacy) whether there'd been a case in Coatepec yet. "No", was the reply.
More than this, in a week here I have found
practically no one wearing masks anywhere, including Mexico City. The
occasional security person or check out operator in a supermarket. I
haven't heard a cough or a sneeze. Hang on, I have heard one sneeze.

Paul is a seasoned professional but Susan is still strictly an amateur....give her another year and she will blow Paul off (stage)!
