If you have been hiding in a hole for the past few weeks and or have
not an ounce of interest for football, then England crashing out will
not be a major issue for you.
I do not want to
re-iterate the painful scoreline on these pages, but surely now the age
old joke- 'don't mention '66 world cup' has been completely and
absolutely ripped from our tongues. It'll be now the German's who'll be
saying 'don't mention 2010 world cup to the English' for the next 4 or
40 years!? Well I think the footballers should do the decent thing and
cut their paychecks by...say.. 90% and give the money to good use like
the employment of graduates and TALENTED young people (even though I say
so my self!)
Ahh
well
enough of the football for now, I've been scouring the Internet to find
something interesting to write about.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/drunk-writers-were-better-sober-says-psychiatrist-2010053.html
Came
across this article on the Independent website. Geez that means I have to start
writing sober-damn, not so fun any more this writing malarkey (haha, kidding really I'm not much of
a drinker and have never touched the evil drugs.
Surely
no one could have believed that creative writing was indeed induced by
the consumption of alcohol and drugs. One simply just has to look at the
state a person becomes, generally after taking these substances on a
recreational level. The individual most certainly becomes incoherent,
unable to remember their names, let alone spell them. So therefore, they
could not have been capable of writing incredible literary works,
whilst intoxicated.

Hahaha, aww this is a sweet article. Giant
Rabbits as pets, that's 50 quid well spent I think. I wonder if they an
move about as freely as normal sized rabbits? what's not to say they are
actually normal sized and the smaller ones are actually dwarfs of their
kind?? Now I'm just being silly I know.

I
think this needs to be looked asap. Diplomatic immunity is being abused
so much in this country, Why cant it be like in the TV series CSI, they seemed to almost always
nail the sodding characters. They are clearly not abiding by the laws of
the land, and don't seem to care about their behaviour at all. If the
shoe were on the other foot, our embassy staff abroad would be done up
like kippers, if found to have done something ridiculously stupid, like
j-walking!

Do
you agree with this list? What would keep and add something else?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2003/oct/12/features.fiction
Great
reads these lot, personally I've still got a fair few more to add to my
reading list.
I feel I have to end this piece with a
funny satire video, a cartoon parody of the worst song ever to have been
aired to the public, the horror they must have felt coming over them
when it started- ugh unbearable to think about it.
This
link about William Shatnar, I'd
most certainly never would have admitted in hind-in side- if I were
this person. The most cringe worthy of tracks released by this actor in
the 70's was quite frankly horrid.

I'll
finish by letting stewie from 'Family Guy' sing it in his squeaky voice. TTFN

World cup 2010
Its back folks! If you a football nut, or maybe not so much a fanatic
but at least a fan of the game, you would have noticed that the
glorious game is soon to hit our new HD
screens all the way from South Africa.
Sports journalists all over the country and the world will be going mad trying to keep up with all the games, the pre and post game analysis, the end less debate on the out come. If you have been living in a big hole just lately, the pre world cup madness has been kick started by the lovely advertisers and retailers alike.
I was on my usual jog around the town couple weeks back, the flags were out! (dramatic music) Yup, the St George's flag that normally only comes out the closet once a year on...you guessed it.. St George's day is now stuck to people's cars, hung across their homes and the pubs have gone overload of flags- its practically everywhere, even the poor dogs are giving passer-bys the 'get me out of this' look.
And by the sounds of the recent adverts on TV and Radio, businesses are taking a little gamble on the chances of England winning the cup. 'We'll give you this for nothing if England wins the World Cup' and wait for it here's the catch- 'and if they don't you can PAY the amount in simple small monthly payments'
I wonder if they put all their meager profits at the bookies for England to loose so, all the muppets out there who fell for the colourful ads would end up paying for the goods? It truly is desperate times for these businesses, they're turning to out right conning gullible folk to make money. What has the beautiful game created? I'm glad I've got at least 2 brain cells to not fall for that trick.
Well, good luck to those who bought into those marketing ploys for your sake I do sincerely hope Capello's England team lift that trophy after nearly 40years of disappointment. C'mon England!
But we must not forget that there are more positives to the game than the few who try to cash in on the whole event, it is one of the most watched event on level with the Olympics. It is bringing the entire world together, so please no fights for just this month-yes? what say you? Hate or love it, its something that creates a talking to point to most people- leaving out the die hard rugby and cricket fans, and women who rather watch back to back to rom coms. I've got my chart listing out all the groups and countries playing, a dedicated pen to write down the scores BRING IT ON!
