Or so he says on the BBC news website. Apparently he was being paid £6 million pa which was pretty measely compared to what he turned down to remain at the Corporation. What a martyr you are Wossy. And guess what? He said his phone was being hacked too... Oh for f*cks sake.
Rant over.
I thought that was bloody typical on the news today. Some bright spark has come up with the idea of charging utility companies for digging up roads... supposedly to encourage proper co-ordination between the various companies.
Thats the answer to everything in this country... charge for it. If there is the potential to make a profit out of anything then some f*cker will charge a fee. Of course in this case the utility companies will simply pass the cost onto the customer. Terrific idea.
Rant over.
Just been watching the latest Newsnight on BBC2 and what do you get: Three pseudo intellectual foreign tw*ts saying that Britain has been irrevocably damaged by the rioting and looting in foreign eyes. B*ll*cks has it. No one will even remember it a few weeks down the line. Don't these pompous f*ckers realise that the public in most countries have memories like goldfish. And typically the French advised their population not to come to England. They really hate us don't they!
Rant over.
Sunday we headed off to Biscester Village outlet shopping centre. To be honest I was gobsmacked at the number of people present... whether they were all spending considering the current economic climate was another question. I was tasked with keeping an eye on little "c" and little "a" whilst LAB scythed her way through the various stores.
On the way back we quickly stopped off at The Galeria in Hatfield as LAB wanted a quick perusal in Gap.
Dinner that evening was a fantastic breyani prepared by LAB. Followed by a couple of episodes of Modern Family.
To be continued...
Don't you just love it when you arrive home from a day out with your relatives and those motherf*cking, ar*eholing, retarded, scumfaced, w*nking b@stard binapes have left your bin full with two weeks worth of rubbish... personally I would wish that every last one of these pricks would be rounded up, tortured horribly and shot through the head.
F*ckers!
Rant over.
How the f*ck can some company called Standard & Poor wag its finger and announce that in its eyes the US credit rating is downgraded? And because of that announcement f*ck over the world's financial markets. You can imagine a group of pompous ar*eholes meeting in some flash office in Switzerland pretending they know better than anyone else and then making that statement knowing the fact that they are going to create havoc around the world. Sounds f*cking irresponsible to me. I can't blame the Americans going ballistic at the news, it's not even like the other credit agencies followed suit. It makes me wonder if they did it just to receive some publicity.
Rant over.
Okay I realise I'm about a week late with this blogpost, as I did in fact see this film last Friday (the day it was released). But... hey, painting the bathroom did take priority. Anyway as usual I digress.
Captain America: The First Avenger is the origin story of the USA's first supersoldier. Steve Rodgers (played by Chris Evans) is a 9 stone weakling who has a strong sense of doing the right thing and standing up to bullies. It is actually in this early stage of the film that our hero is at his best, ie. Flawed. Once he has been administered the superserum and those physical flaws have been eliminated the character becomes far more two dimensional. Again I won't describe the plot in any kind of detail but Cap goes up against his evil nemesis the nazi genius the Red Skull portrayed by Agent Smith himself, the tremendous Hugo Weaving. After various battles and a couple of interesting montages the climax of the film has Steve Rodgers piloting a nuclear bomber into the Arctic.
To be honest I thought Thor was a better film but Captain America has plenty of thrills and whatever you do, you must stay to the after credits epilogue which also features The Avengers trailer... which looks utterly fantastic!
Rating: 7/10
I haven't had time to write any blogposts this week as although I'm currently on holiday it has been non-stop working at home. Clearing out the garage (which is still a work in progress), painting the bathroom walls, helping N get the spareroom ready and a myriad of other vital operations. And now we are ready for our guests to arrive tomorrow!
