Taking the p*ss...

"Chancellor Alistair Darling has told RBS failure should not be rewarded with huge bonuses." -- BBC News website

Words fail me! The f*cking arroagance of these sh*ts beggars belief. Not only are they totally useless at doing their jobs - they have to be bailed out by the taxpayer and then we are all slapped in the face when they say they are going to dole out bonuses... Bastards!

Composer's Neanderthal recreation

"A musical experience with a difference is being previewed at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff - an attempt to recreate the sound of the Neanderthals."

Bloody 'ell looks like the bloke from Aerosmith!!!

Mandy: The Prince of Darkness

How the hell does this completely untrustworthy slimeball manage to bounce back all the time... does he have secret dossiers on people so that he can blackmail them into giving him plum jobs? It simply doesn't make sense. This obnoxious tw*t has utterly no credibility whatsoever... look what he said at a CBI dinner:

Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has reiterated his warning that the UK must resist the temptation to "retreat into economic protectionism".

Bravo!... and what was it President Obama said the other day? American companies must buy American. In other words he was endorsing American protectionism. So I suppose we in Britain will open our arms and encourage openness in awarding contracts to anyone in the world whilst we have the door slammed in our faces when our own business' tender for overseas work. PRAT!

Kate Winslet

I must admit I have no interest in the forthcoming film Revolutionary Road starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo di Caprio. The media keep bangin' on about how great she is and that she is due to receive an Oscar for her performance.

You can just imagine Kate going for the audition can't you. "Hi Ms Winslet, if you can read the first scene from Act 1 please, we can see how good you are for the part".... "Oh yes of course - why should we bother - your husband is the film's producer". Taking the piss really isn't it? Did anyone else actually attempt to audition for it?? Was there any point???

Guest Rant...

"I just bought a one way train ticket to Norwich to use at the end of the week - less that 100 miles. I could drive there on about 2 gallons of petrol (about £10) but the cheapest train ticket cost £49. I would say £25 or so might not be too unreasonable but paying double that is well above what might be reasonable and amounts to getting charged a penalty fare for not booking 8 weeks in advance. So many things in Britain seem to be priced at levels which are far higher than the service you get. Rant over."

My thanks to PSR for his contribution

Ford and Vauxhall

Rather moronic of Ford and Vauxhall announcing price increases in the UK because of the strong Euro versus the weak pound... so what is that going to do eh? Hmmmm... maybe they will sell less Fords and Vauxhalls. Retards.

Meaningless Names

What was wrong with Norwich Union? Aviva!!! Crap, crap, crap, CRAP... I seem to remember Royal Mail changing its name to Consignia - and then changing it back again after being derided by the public and press.

Melodramatic language...

Have you noticed how the media uses such dramatic words to describe news events? The word "plunge" is an overused favourite. Today shares plunged to an all time low. Or. Temperatures plunged as much of the country was gripped in icy weather. The use of these words to my mind creates exaggeration and when the economy is being reported on then no wonder people become extra nervous and the situation is compounded. Perhaps the likes of the BBC and The Daily Mail etc. have lot to answer for!

Terminator Motorcycle

Terminator Salvation looks quite interesting but from the looks of the trailer it could be visually too similar to Transformers: Rise of The Fallen. Two films featuring CGI robots could be a bit too much...

Snow...

Come on let's face it... people just wanted a day off!
