The next 100wpm exam looms in two weeks on December 3rd, so suddenly we are all becoming very aware of how close we could be to cracking it.
It’s a pretty impressive feat if we do, seeing as we’ll be roughly three quarters of the way through an intensive course.
A journalist I see at most Bury games always tells me how it took him a year to get his, showing how far we have come in a short space of time.
Cue the inspirational music!!
And now for the uber exciting news about the clever beans who took the exam last week… drrrrrrr *tish*
The roll of honour..
Jonathan Brown
Marcus Chippindale (100%)
Patrick Dennehy
Monica Eden
Bethany English (100%)
Elaine O’Flynn
Katie Ollier
Connie Primmer (100%)
Deborah Trickett (100%)
John Whitney

Well done to you all! I’m not jealous in the slightest of your Thursday morning lie-ins from now on :)
I started this week with high hopes after passing my 90wpm and celebrating with houmous.
Things couldn’t have got any better when I passed a 100wpm with three mistakes, woo! That long wait for an ambulance text worked a treat.
I was sorry about Mr Hall’s death though – heart-wrenching stuff.
This was coupled with two failures and another pass, so all in all, not a bad week.
I now have two weeks to blast through Dawn Johnston’s amazing speed trainers.
I say amazing, I mean patronising.
If you’re feeling like it’s dragging you down and you need a break, press the speedy up and slowing down arrows either side of the audio slider (I have NO idea whether this terminology is correct).
It’s much the same as when Scott Mills makes celebs sound drunk by slowing their voice down on Radio One, so Dawn goes from slurring her words to sounding like a chipmunk high on life.. happy days.
Let’s face it, there’s only so many times I can ‘repeat it aGAIN’ Dawn – quit it with the posh voice.
We all know she’s probably from ‘oop norf’ really.. and that accent won’t get her a royal wedding invite!
Phew.. and breathe..
Most of my practice over the weekends consists of transcribing along to Strictly Come Dancing etc, but after Ann Widdecombe’s samba, I was crying with laughter..
I’ll go back to the X Factor this weekend – at least I’ll be writing the same things over and over again..
“I.. WANT.. YOU.. IN.. THE.. FINAL!”
