and (an) alarm clock(s)?

alarm clock will help you only you are sleeping... the missed flight was that i turned the alarm clock off after it rang

aw c'mon, she's not that bad!

Maybe it's her voice. Mark Hanretty can say the same thing Belinda says, and there would be far less objection.

She has a lot of micro expressions when watching the replay - she sparkles.

I know that one.. I always have more so turning one off is not the end

I'm a huge fan of Belinda's commentary, aside from the fact that she gets lots of facts wrong, overuses terms like "neat" and "tidy," pronounces many of the names incorrectly, doesn't know accurate program music information for multiple skaters, and has absolutely no sense of humor.

But otherwise, she is fabulous!

Brooke and Ben are emoting a bit .. i see progress... the feed is emoting too...

Ben is 203 CMS !!!! OMG..

Does Australia have a second pairs team?

Solid skate by Ben and Brooke - Well done! There were a couple of tiny bobbles, but they skated really well overall, especially for their first World Championships at the senior level. They have a bright future!

I'm not in the mood for Les Mis so I muted and put on random shuffle... my phone offered the Amelie soundtrack and Franz Ferdinand. Unfortunately neither really suited the program, lol, but it did keep me awake.

Pretty decent Worlds debut, they'll do better in future.

we have coach cam!

Bovril > Vegemite

New Zealand version of Marmite tops them all!
(It's nothing like the original British Marmite BTW, unfortunately since the latter is all you can find overseas)
I'd be curious to try Cenovis

Love this Canadian team. there is such a creative potential in them imho. they seemed very nervous though

I could see M/M skating a nice Amelie program.

Lovely balletic arm/hand positions from Brooke and Ben. Lovely extension from Brooke also. Looking forward to watching them grow. Congrats on SB.

We need a Franz Ferdinand pairs programme

Another energetic skate by Brooke & Ben. They have a lot of wonderful content completed. Very nice lines and a cohesive look. Now they just need some more polish and expression. A beautiful death spiral and very positive finish. I love the color and style of her dress.

Not anymore, Harley Windsor and Maria Chernyshova split, but I guess he'll find another Russian-born pairs skater soon enough

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Kam/O'Shea opening music gives me misophonia unfortunately (whatever it is they call that aversion to sounds like chewing and ASMR)

 

[4everchan]

French CBC (Alain Goldberg) is full of praise for O'Shea saying how strong he is but always careful for his partner.

My flight problem is that I never fall asleep to begin with... the last couple times I flew to the west coast I didn't properly rest until I arrived at the hotel and crashed hard
