Has Jade been let down?

There is no getting away from the fact that the woman (if you can call her that) is so lacking in intelligence it makes me question our educational system (didn't she actually achieve A Levels?). And there absolutely no escaping the fact that the way she behaved in the BB House was nothing short of school yard bullying and the buck absolutely stops with her. But, I can't help but think that the very people who are meant to be looking after her best interests, should have realised that she was obviously going to dig herself a bloody big hole one way or another in the BB House, so for me, they have let her down as well as her letting herself down.

Big Brother - Get a Life!

I know it is everywhere, but I am simply stunned at the furore this stupid reality TV show has caused. Let's face it - if there is a Race card to be played, it will always be an asian or black one. If they were taking the p**s out of H's welsh accent, would it be talked about in the Welsh Assembly? Would it be a Race violation then? No, of course not.

At the end of the day, you've got some very bitchy, spoint, pathetic women in there who simply do not like a girl who happens to be Indian. You have to remember as well that Jade Goody only has one more brain cell than an Amoeba - and these people constant say things without thinking (because they can't) and so will offend people. Add lack of intelligence to an inflated ego and you are doomed to disaster before you even start.

But, for it to be discussed in Parliament, for there to be Riots in India well - I am sorry, but that is downright pathetic and makes me wonder what the hell this world is coming to. At this rate, they will have to ban any ethnic minority from these types of programmes (though personally I think they should just ban the programmes!), just to ensure No race card can be played.

Do you know, a young girl of 14 with everything to live for was killed this week by a train - I bet her parents couldn't give a f**k about Big Brother.

A Lance Corporal Royal Marine was killed this week in Afghanistan - I bet the friends who braved the frontline to rescue a fallen comrade couldn't give a f**k about Big Brother.

Basically - there are things that matter - and things that don't decide which side you want to focus on and your life will be much enriched.

Gordon Brown Joins the State School Row

This made me laugh! Gordon Brown was reported in this Sunday's Mail on Sunday to be sending his child to his local state school. He was not going to send his child to a private school unlike some of his fellow labour MPs oh no siree - he was jolly well going to support his local state school in WESTMINSTER.

I wonder if he would be so keen to support his local comprehensive if it were in Ellesmere Port, or Bolton? Hmmm - methinks he would have a different view!

Dangerous Dogs

I have a child of 5 (well I did until today when he turned 6) and it chills my heart to think of something happening to him like it has to the little girl in St Helens who has been mauled to death by a "Pitbull type dog".

I also have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has been a family pet for over 9 years and is the most lovely natured dog. But I just know that following this tragic incident, these dogs are all going to get lumped together as one and our poor dog will be tarred with the same brush as these awful fighting dogs.

This person was allegedly warned about his dog, when if the dangerous dog act had been left exactly how it was meant to be, the dog would have been destroyed when the owner was first warned at that beautiful little girl would still be alive today.

My heart goes out to her family and my best wishes for her grandmother to get better soon.

Gordon Ramsay

There is a major divide in my household and the root of it is Gordon Ramsay - my dh hates him with a passion that should be reserved for Red Wine, and Chocolate, I on the other hand think he is a kindred spirit (what does that say about me I wonder!).

I actually bought my dh Gordon Ramsay's autobiography this Christmas and whilst he took 3 days to read it, I polished it off in 2! I have to add, that dh - who is a frustrated Chef - does actually hold him in high esteem when it comes to his cooking ability and expertise, it is just his arrogance that he finds hard to bear though i think this is due to some of the arseholes he has had to work under in kitchens when he was working as a chef.

But in fairness I found the autobiography fascinating and thoroughly enjoyed it - the guy says it as it is - my kind of person!

Saddam Hussein's Demise Imminent

So why doesn't it feel like a victory? There is no getting away from the fact that this man is pure evil to the root of his soul, and yet I can't help but feel that executing him is going to cause even more evil in the world. It also doesn't feel right to take another person's life and that in doing so we are no better than he was. I am a firm believer in "What goes around, comes around" but I am not convinced that others should be the ones dishing it out, and that the torment should come from within.

So, it doesn't feel like a victory to me, and it is certainly a situation that I would hope is avoided at all costs in the future.

The Great Curly Wurly ram-raid of Wrexham

A Wrexham man who was found by a Green Keeper of a local Golf Course surrounded by Curly Wurlies has been given a 12 month community order.

The story began when a stolen car reversed into the kiosk of a garage in the sleepy Welsh village of Corwen. Unfortunately all the thieves got away with was £40 of Curly Wurlies! The car was then burnt out and a very drunk young man was found on a local Golf Course surrounded by Curly Wurlies!

Originally charged with the Ram Raid offence, the young man denied the charge which was then dropped, though he admited to handling some of the offending Curly Wurlies!

The story goes that he had been on a "particularly ugly night out" in Llangollen and had consumed an "incapacitating" amount of alcohol. He then saw the stolen car doing wheel spins in Llangollen and accepted a lift, getting out at Chirk. The ram raid had already taken place when he accepted the lift and the car was full of the stolen Curly Wurlies. Feeling a little peckish, he asked for some of the chocolates and using an incontinent pad as a bag, filled it with a number of them!

His solicitor told the court "My client set off on the long and lonely walk in the direction of Wrexham then about 500 metres from where he had left 2 men in the car, he was, on the golf course, and was irrestistibly assailed by the forces of gravity".

It was whilst he was horizontal on the Green that the Game Keeper then found him at 07.30am!

What a fabulous story - one to tell the grandchildren - never mind the Great Train Robbery - we've got the Great Curly Wurly Ram-Raid of Wrexham!

Get Real Snow & Santa's on his Sleigh for £50K

I don't know whether I am amazed or appalled by this new service which has been launched by a company up here in the North West. The Christmas Decorators have launched a Christmas Eve service costing £50,000 (yes, that's right £50K!), for which you can have "real Scandinavian Snow" deposited on your house and garden, your children's pressies delivered by the fella himself on a sleigh drawn by 6 reindeer, and the opportunity for your kids to spend half an hour with the big man himself (Santa that is, not God), telling him their hopes for Christmas!

Amazing isn't it! The very same company can also be commissioned to come and decorate your house for Christmas and then they come back and take it all away again afterwards all for just £20,000! The business called "The Christmas Decorators" is planning to franchise its operation!

O boy, I must be going wrong somewhere! Where do these people get that kind of cash from?

Christmas brings out the worst in some people!

Now to clarify - I love Christmas, but in all honesty - what is it all about these days? I am not a religious person at all - but I still like to think that there is more to all this than pressies but our young'uns don't seem to be aware of this! I have just fought my way back from town where Woollies is crowded with screaming kids who WANT this and WANT that and scream when they are told to put it back - it's just ridiculous! Then there was the woman who pushed her toddler along and asked him "now what am I going to buy you?", and when the child grunted at a particular set of toys she replied "No, you have got all of those, and all of those"......... Where does it stop?

Bah Humbug!

Too PC?

Companies in the UK are alegedly banning their employees from putting up crimbo decs in case they offend non-christian workers!

I mean come one - where the hell has all this PC nonsense come from and just when will it end? I remember when I worked for HBOS we were only allowed a few sparse crimby decs but I think that was more to do with us being distracted from making the company money than them being afraid of offending non-christian workers!

PC? More like P-Thetic!

The World's Gone Mad!

A murder took place in January 2006 on the streets of London. A young promising lawyer was stabbed to death by 2 youths, who find it much easier to rob others to get what they want in life. These youths were just 17 & 18.

The trial took place at the Old Baily this month and Tom ap Rhys Pryce's fiancee Adele Eastman gave a heartbreaking statement which left police officers, journalists & members of the public in tears as she told of the pain the loss has inflicted upon her.

This young couple were due to be married in September this year, in Tuscany.

Tom ap Rhys Pryce was the beneficiary of educational funding and so his fiancee and family have set up a charity to help other children to get access to such education when they would otherwise not be able to afford it.

You can donate via their webpage here: http://www.tomaprhyspryce.com/

Only in America!

A woman, reported missing by her family after she had not been seen for 11 days, was found wedged behind a bookcase in her house!!

The 38 year old woman was thought to have been changing a plug behind the bookcase when she became wedged!!

The woman was eventually found after another member of the family detected a "strange smell" - I dread to think what that would have been!

For goodness sake woman, and for the sake of your health and world emmissions - lose weight!

Paedophiles Outted - update

The power of the Internet has risen it's head again. Following on from my previous post about the fact that a website had been set up to make known Paedophiles who had dissappeared from the Police radar success has come in a small way in the fact that one of the dirt-bags has given himself up and walked into a police station!

One down, goodness knows how many more pervs to go!

X-Factor Farce

Well, I was as glued as ever to the TV screen last night (yes - I DO have a life!) watching X-Factor. And the way I saw it was:

Ray - a little flaky - a few bum notes early on - cute - but has a short shelf-life

Robert - Not really the best song for showing of Robert's vocals - dull in the early part of the song, but then came into his own.

The McDonuts - Dull, dull, dull as dishwater - get me outta here!

Eton Road - I'm sorry? What was that? "The wierd one" looked like he really didn't know what he was doing there, he looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment, and he even forgot the lyrics during parts of the song! Go home lads.

Leona - Oh now what can I say - not my favourite performance, but she is in a league of her own - superb.

Ben - Again - fantastic performance from Ben who always sings from the heart.

Now onto the judges:

Sharon - looked a little peaky I felt, and not her usual vaaa voom self.

Simon Cowell - c'mon Simon, you can afford a better suit than that, it looked like you had slept in it and it didn't fit, and it was something that someone through out of his wardrobe in at the end of the 80's!!! But apart from that - you spoke sense as usual! You are my kinda guy! In a platonic - business kind of way!!!!

Louie - Can someone please explain to me how this pathetic excuse of a man managed to become so successful in his field? He sounded like my 6 year old child, he is so pathetic and snivly - I just don't understand it. If anyone should have been sent home based on their performance last night - it should have been Louie Walsh! Aaaaargh.

Anyway - Vote Leona!!!!!!!

Paedophiles Outted!

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre have decided to release the details fo those Paedophiles who have dissappeared of the radar on a Crimewatch Website.

For me, it is not a moment too soon! I mean, if you lived next door to one of these people, wouldn't you want to know about it? I mean they have not gone so far as to tell us exactly where these people live in general but they have obviously taken the step of letting us know when they have lost track of them.

This has got to be a step in the right direction - though not far enough! For me, I think they should be castrated!

Beckham "Paid himself £19M"

The Sun reported that David Beckham paid himself £19M last year and then went on to say "The accounts revealed Beckham shared a salary of £19.7 million with two members of staff, but he is believed to have pocketed most of it".

Hang on a minute - the guy earnt it so why is it made out to be such a crime to earn this money and why the heck should he give it to anyone??

I don't understand this mentality at all. My other half says the same, that footballers are wrong to earn so much money! But hell it isn't them that pays it to them, it is the sponsors and clubs etc - so what would you expect them to say "Gee, thanks Mr Adidas but really £3M for earning you billions is far too much - just bung me a tenner" - yeah right!

So come on - have your say!

Borat gets his Just Desserts!

The 'actor' who plays Borat was allegedly punched in the face "repeatedly" in New York this weekend. The reporter stated that the man who punched him had a "sense of humour failiure" - flippin sense of humour failiur - I'd have punched him too! He is a complete and utter prat! Not funny - just stupid.

He was apparently saved by actor Hugh Laurie! I mean that says it all really doesn't it!

Just Desserts in my opinion!

X-Factor 7 The McDoogle Brothers

I mean come on - how the hell did Nikitta and Ray end up in the bottom 2 when you have the McDoogle Pub Singing Brothers and Eton - been there done that - Road still in the competition.

Don't get me wrong I don't think either of them would have gone on to win, but how the hell are those 2 boring, dull McDoogle Brothers still in the competition - it is turning into a mockery!

C'mon Leona - you are a true star! You can win this thing.

Malawi Madge

You know, call me cynical - but could the reason why celebs are going abroad to adopt children have anything to do with the fact that the only children really put up for adoption now in this country are those who have experienced severe trauma of one nature of another?

Gone are the days when you could pop along to your local orphanage and find a cute looking child who was pretty much unscathed by the cruel world and who's only sin was to be born into a family that perhaps could not afford to keep it, or who's family didn't allow it's mother to keep it. Nope, nowadays children are only ever put up for adoption as a very last resort, which means they have usually suffered some kind of abuse, physical or mental, or whose parents were addicts of some description and which could have resulted in the baby being born with some kind of substance addiction, the affects of which may not be know for years to come.

So, let's cut the crap - the real reason for celebs adopting children from abroad is that they wouldn't want their tidy lives blighted by having to care for a child whose needs could not be met by throwing money at them!

Saddam Hussein - sentenced to death

So - justice has been done - so why does it not feel like a triumph? Is it because so many innocent people have already lost their lives and more are continuing to lose their lives in Iraq daily - so what has actually been achieved?

From Dancing Babies to Salsa Slappers

I love Strictly Come Dancing - and there is a bit of tasty totty swirling around that dance floor on a Saturday night.

But, what is that Clare like - she looked like a hooker! She looked absolutely awful - a man in drag in fact! The thing is Brendan comes across so badly in this program but he came across much better in Love Island but for me Clare is bringing him down.

So, I think Carole Smilie is fab, as is Louisa from Eastenders but I really, really want the Karen and Mark the Cricketer to win!
