1of4 Social Anxiety - Ruby Wax attends the Leading Light event Nov08. Steve Light’s Radio Interview.
Part 1 - (thanks to http://www.donexphotography.co.uk for the lovely photos).
Here is part 1 of my radio interview with Westside FM (89.6 FM). I used to suffer with Social Anxiety and had done all of my life. Now that SA does not have a grip on my life as it once did, I feel empowered to help others with Social Anxiety and low self esteem and confidence issues through my non profit events http://www.leadinglight.org.uk.
Ruby Wax attended our first event on 22nd November 2008 and I met her whilst being interviewed for a BBC Campaign called Headroom, you can see the Interview here http://www.bbc.co.uk/headroom/rubys/?rubysroom17
I just want people to know that there is a way out of having social anxiety. I used to think there wasn’t a way out and I was supposed to be that way, but in 2005 I was at the end of my tether and did something about it by going to a self help group and never looked back since.
Hope you like the interview, Enjoy!

Don’t Panic - UK Government Censors news story titled “Banks are ‘technically insolvent’”?
******** Update **********
As of Jan 21, 6 am GMT, the link is back and working again. Interesting?
********************************
I guess they are trying desperately to prevent any bank runs, or a general panic.
Note that while David Prosser is normally a financial markets writer, Ben Russell is a general staff writer, and may not have been “thinking clearly” when he wrote this piece. Nevertheless, once published is it right for it to be removed? Or should an amended, less controversial version been published?
I do hope neither of these gentlemen are sacked for this.

British banks are ‘technically insolvent’
By Ben Russell and David Prosser
Saturday, 17 January 2009
Britains biggest banks are “technically insolvent”, Royal Bank of Scotland said yesterday, as the global banking industry was rocked by another day of turmoil, including the announcement of $23bn (£16bn) of new losses from Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, the giant US institutions.
Analysts working for RBS, one of several British banks to have received emergency funding from the UK Government last year, told the City that “the domestic UK banks are technically insolvent on a fully marked-to-market basis”.
The warning does not mean British banks are about to go bust, because the essment is purely theoretical, and RBS said the position was “not unusual at this stage in the economic cycle”.
However, it will add to pressure on the Government to provide more support for the country’s banks. Treasury officials are now set to spend this weekend in talks about a fresh round of measures, which could be unveiled as early as next week, to free up lending to households and major corporations hit by the credit crunch.
The value of Barclays fell by a quarter in stock market trading yesterday, amid a series of wild rumours about its finances, although the bank said it saw no need to comment on the drop. Its board said in a statement last night that it knew “no justification for the fall”.
The statement said next month the bank expected to report that profits before tax for 2008 were “well ahead” of the £5.3 billion forecast by analysts.
City analysts said the bank had been targeted by traders after regulators lifted a ban yesterday on the short selling of financial stocks. Barclays’ share price, along with the value of other British banks, was also hit by dismal news from the international markets, including the announcement on Thursday night that the Irish government was nationalising Allied Irish Banks. In the US, Bank of America announced yesterday that it was taking a $20bn injection of emergency funding from the US government, subsequently revealing that Merrill Lynch, the investment bank it rescued last year, had lost more than £15bn in the final three months of last year.
Citigroup, once the world’s largest bank, announced more than $8bn of losses for the final quarter of last year, and revealed plans to split itself in two.
Treasury officials were still discussing plans to help British banks last night but the proposals are likely to include up to £100bn of new guarantees for the wholesale markets that underpin mortgage and other loans.
Other possible measures being considered include state support to help Britain’s largest companies raise their own funds. Another option is to launch a “bad bank” to remove tainted ets from the banks’ balance sheets, though while this policy is under consideration, it is thought to remain some way off.
Other proposals include ring-fencing the toxic ets within bank balance sheets. Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, has also talked of easing the terms of the Government’s £37bn bank bailout in order to kickstart lending. Downing Street made it clear yesterday that the Government remained committed to doing “whatever is necessary to help British businesses and families get through this global financial recession”.

Good Charlotte - Anxiety (Full + Lyrics)
Lyrics on screen, you can view the lyrics here aswell incase you cannot read them
Song - Anxiety
Artist - Good Charlotte
Album - Good Charlotte Remixes
Waiting down at the end of the corridor
Don’t know this place but I swear I’ve been here before
The shadows dance with the pictures that hang up on the walls
I hear them laughing as I wander the halls
I can feel my palms sweating now
Pacing back and forth with nothing to say
I can see my mind racing now
The feeling won’t go away
It’s like a clock ticking slow in the waiting room
It’s like a doctor calling but he’s got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don’t know what to do
You’re giving me anxiety
Like a message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You’re giving me anxiety
Anxiety, anxiety
I’m the patient, with no patience
This operation has already failed
It’s too late for resuscitation
Can’t take away the pressure you make me feel
I can feel my chest heavy now
Weighing down on me, it’s harder to breathe
Look in the mirror, got no color now
Another fatality
It’s like a clock ticking slow in the waiting room
It’s like a doctor calling but he’s got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don’t know what to do
You’re giving me anxiety
Like a message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You’re giving me anxiety
And I’m underwater
And I hate you
What you’re doing to me
To me, yeah
Your voice is cold, your eyes look through me
Like they don’t know me
They’re faking now when there was love
It’s empty
A clock ticks slow in the waiting room
The doctor calls but he’s got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don’t know what to do
You’re giving me anxiety
This is the message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You’re giving me anxiety
(I’m underwater)
You’re giving me anxiety
(I’m underwater)
You’re giving me anxiety
(And I hate you)
You’re giving me anxiety
(I’m underwater)
You’re giving me anxiety

World of Goo: Fisty’s Bog OCD (9 Moves)
Note: I have now done this in 7 moves, see the video response.
Gotta give a shout out to Kopalexis I though it was possible and he came through with the answer. Awsome. It can be tricky to do this but I found you have to use a balloon to push the goo’s as you cant get enough force with a black goo which means 9/10 times your going to end up just adding another balloon to the structure
But I also think this can be done in 7 moves which I’m going to try next.

Come save me from walking off a windowsill
or I’ll sleep in the rain.
Don’t you remember when I was a bird
and you were a map?
(Ryan)
Now he drags down miles in America
briefcase in hand.
The stove is creeping up his spine again,
can’t get enough trash.
Ahhh-Ohhh…
(Both)
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
(Brendon)
Who could ask for anymore?
Yeah who could have more.
(oh no)
(Ryan)
His arms were the branches of a Christmas tree
preached the devil in the belfry.
(Brendon)
He checked in
to learn his clothes had been thieved at the train station.
(Both)
The rope hung his other branch
and at the end was a dog called Bambi
(Brendon)
Who was chewing on his parliaments
(Both)
when he tried to save the calendar business,
he tried to save the calendar business
(Both)
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
(Ryan)
Who could ask for anymore?
Yeah who could have more?
(Brendon)
The poor son of a humble chimney sweep
fell to a cheap crowd
So stay asleep and put on that cursive type
(Both)
you know we live in a toy.
(Ryan)
You know that Paul Cates bought himself a trumpet from
the salvation army
But there ain’t no sunshine in his song
(Both)
We must reinvent love,
reinvent love,
reinvent love.
(Both)
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
(Ryan)
Who could ask for anymore?
(Brendon)
Yeah who could have more.
(Both)
We must reinvent love,
reinvent love,
reinvent love.
