Curling season is amongst us. We have to find some sort of indoor sport that we look forward to in the winter, even if we are holding brooms and beers and sweeping a sheet of ice!

For all you curlers out there, this one’s for you!

Top Ten Signs You’re having a Bad Game:

  1. They start pebbling the ice in the fourth end.
  2. Your skip keeps saying “Nice try!“
  3. Your opposition starts hanging its score on the next sheet.
  4. While you‘re in the washroom, your team-mates sneak away to the bar.
  5. The Ice-maker starts heckling you.
  6. It’s only the third end and already you owe your teammates six drinks.
  7. Your opposition is lying four and your skip wants you to throw your rock through the house.
  8. You throw out your knee in the first end and your teammates don‘t even notice.
  9. Your sweepers burst into laughter when you release your rock.
  10. You score an eight-ender in the second end and you have to throw your last rock to win 9-8.

Energize your Future

What will tomorrow’s energy landscape look like?

How can governments, NGOs, major companies and all stakeholders work better together to build a truly sustainable and ethical future?

What skills and talents are needed for tomorrow’s leadership?

These and other critical questions are already being discussed by more than 1,500 people on the EnergiseMyNetwork web community platform. In November, almost 800 young professionals, students, academics and international experts from across the world will gather at the Energise Your Future event in Paris.

Energise Your Future is a unique, not-to-be-missed opportunity for students and young professionals, wherever they are, to engage in trans-generational dialogue with current leaders and top experts from around the world on the key issues that affect a sustainable and ethical energy future.

This three-day event, being held from 18-20th November, will offer three distinct levels of discussion:

Keynote Plenary sessions for strategic thinking, Workshops to dive deep into specific topics, Knowledge Cafés for informal networking and knowledge-sharing.

I will be attending this event and will have full coverage in December’s edition.
