He says, She says.

Hello again. I've literally only just decided to bash out this blog after seeing something on the BBC News website. It's only going to be short because I only really have one point to make, so you'll just have to make do.

Apparently some 13 year old kid from America has climbed Mount Everest... What a massive show off.

I'm sure he's not, but in my head I can't help but imagine him to be one of those kids in school who's good at everything, and that naturally, the people who aren't good at everything think he's a colossal bellend. Like I say though, he's probably a nice, modest guy, who just so happens to climb massive mountains for the hell of it.

One thing that made me laugh my little cotton socks off, was the way it's reported on the BBC's website. It reads:

"A 13-year-old American boy has become the youngest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, his family says.

Jordan Romero, from California, telephoned his mother from the peak of the world's highest mountain, she said."

His family says? It's almost as though the BBC doesn't believe them, I don't think I would either to be honest. If they had any confidence in him, it would surely say "it has been confirmed" or something along those lines... right? The way it is just makes it seem like it's all made up.

I'm waiting for my family to ring BBC Headquarters with news about me.

"A 20 year old boy has walked a tightrope across the Grand Canyon wearing high heel shoes whilst on fire as a way of celebrating the discovery of his ability to poo £50 notes, his family SAYS"

Phwoar, imagine the paper cuts, but on a positive note; imagine being able to say that you'd done a 50 pound poo... Better still, imagine the pooblicity!

I'll stop now...

The second block of text is what I have issues with. At the very end it says "she said" but the rest of the text doesn't really fit in with something that his Mum will have said... Unless she always refers to her son by his full name, and were he's from as well as referring to herself in the 3rd person.

"Jordan Romero, from California! Your tea's ready!"

I know it all makes sense when you read it the article. I just think that for all the professional reporters milling round the BBC, they could have done a slightly better job.

'ave a word BBC.

Bye.
