Next time, perhaps you shouldn't speak on the subject "Why you are all fat bastards"?

Is it because they already know?

It is like Faith Ford said about the comedy Murphy Brown[^] winning best comedy for their cancer program.

Next time give a speech on abused programmers.
What we got here is a failure to communicate

What was your speech about ?

My speech was a do-it-yourself speech.
It was how to make your own glue from abused horses.

Ohh, I see, that DIY. Did you talk about making abused children cry to get the proper solvent for the thinner from their tears ?

I had a note about how to make Girl Scout cookies.

I bet BlueWaffle would not have had a better go neither.

I don't think crazed dictator gesticulations would have help your case. I'm thinking nobody is interested on your take on techogeek issues on keeping properly synchronized backup schemes for mobile devices and the personal network storage methods. But if you add how many abused kittens, puppies, children and of course, the horse that can be saved by your methods. Then also have the animated Power Point slides showing lots of pictures of kittens and rabbits with mucky eyes, raggedy looking dogs and skinny horses being petted by sad looking waifs will go a long ways.
Better luck next time.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

My first speech at Toastmasters was on the life-cycle of a matchstick! It was chosen at random from a list we newbies all were given as subjects. Making it last 5 minutes and still be interesting was murder!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

In my club, we encourage members to introduce them self. It is a lot easier than talking about random topic. They free to choose any other topic if they want to.

So did two other people.
Congratulations! Was this your first speech? If so, kudos on your success. I've been a Toastmasters member for almost 2 years now and I've learned a lot. I'm sure with each speech you deliver, you will learn something new along the way.

Not one person voted for me.
I've won few ribbon, but lost a lot more than I could count. Personally, I learned more from those days I lost than those days I won. After all it is not about who won or who lost. I'm sure you have learned something while preparing your speech. I see it as opportunity to learn rather than winning a ribbon. I heard Lance Miller, the 2005 World Champion of public Speaking, saying that it took him almost 9 years to reach that level and along the way, there were many competitions he lost. The outcome of that speech should not shield you from future opportunities.

No age at all.
One thing that struck me is how her Dad always tried to become famous just because of who his Daughter was.

What struck me was that ok, Peaches had the same jaw structure as her dad...but...so did her boyfriend[^]...

So, the fact that he headed a band that had one of the biggest hits of the 70s or he was one of the main organisers of Band Aid - still the most viewed rock concert ever - didn't count?

My thoughts exactly, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who didn't quite understand that part...

It was supposed to be a comment remarking on the fact that she was only famous because of who her Parents were.
I was just trying to say it in a round-about way.

Well, you didn't quite make it all the way around. But now that you explain it, you are absolutely right!

She may have originally been famous for that, but she did have considerable journalistic skills. And you cannot blame children for the fame that attaches to them because of their parents.
