"Just made the World's worst presentation"

I had to give some prospective users from Government and Local Authorities an hour on the environmental website/database that we use, on behalf of the developers and the presentation involved a flashy touch screen plasma thingymajig. Being me I undertook zero preperation ("Ah I use it all the time should be a doddle") and decided to talk at the delegates whilst demonstarting the very boring site, which is mainly text-based and filled with boxes; that have some or no text in themsleves. There also happened to be a very lovely Oriental girl in attendance; who was also posh totty etc etc.

Within minutes of waving my hands around, repeating myself and coughing, I finally got into the site and spent most of my time, with my back turned to the audience, mumbling about certain features and wrestling with the boogering touch screen (think the crime computer database manipulation in Minority Report as undertaken by someone having an epileptic fit) and sweating profousely as I leapt about. After a while I was simply trying to provide the audience with the least sweaty view of me (I think I've got a virus or similar) and praying that the portable keyboard I was clutching to my bossom, like a maternal monkey with child, contiued to work or I'd have to resort to the touch screen.

Needless to say it only worked in one position, a la me positioned directly in front of the screen, blocking the view and only allowed the projection of my wavering voice in the opposite direction intended.

And I honestly believe that the woman who had her eyes shut throughout was sleeping.

I did not leave Ms Lovely my business card and got out quickly....though not before one person remarked "were you alright? You looked very uncomfortable up there, was it hot?"

Yes it was hot, an embarrasing inferno that has purged me, ensuring that never again shall I attempt another presentation, lest I burn forever due the abominational sin that it would represent.

Saggy is sagging in shame.

that wasn't the worlds worst presentation,

THIS is the worlds worst presentation :

"Sheepy, if you please"

*sheepy unzips his trousers*

Lol at that too :-D

lol at Pasta :-D

And Saggy, blame the heat on the plasma screen, those things get hand-burningly hot after a while.

You're all so old.

HAHAHA

I know just what you mean, when I did I presentation for Economics, putting in pictures of Japanese Samurai and large orange word art 'TA DA's, and in one mind hoping it wasn't going to change, but in another, knowing someone else in the group would.

Noone did.

It was great :D

(Following was a presentation with wheelchairs accompanied by zoom noises)

Mine was a Key Skills thing in college (yes, they STILL make people do Key Skills) but I think it covered another unit as well, an IMPORTANT one, so I was happy to do it.

(note, Key Skills is a waste of my time)

I don't understand, I've never given a presentation out before. I take it all of the below were done in Uni?

It will never be repeated.

Why? because i've never been asked to do another presentation.
