twitter

i have given twitter an opportunity and opened an account a while ago but am not impressed. although it allows me to update the internet from my mobile phone i cannot easily express my thoughts within the limits of 180 charectors.

the number of celebrites using the site has increased as the race to publically get the most fans grows. twitter feels like standing in a crowd at a red carpet event whilst everyone shouts 'hey steven fry, im going to the dentist'. i am not sure steven fry cares much for this information and wish he would just get on with writing another book or being melchet. it is all very strange.

i used to respect steven fry, but now he is always in the news promoting himself on twitter i'm getting steven fry overload - he needs to stop self promoting so much or do another disappearing act in france and leave his iphones at home for a month. It is like an early adopter of the envelope promoting Avery so he can get more used knickers in the mail. the difference between soiled duds through your letterbox and twitter messages is that they aren't wafted under everyone elses noses every time one is sent.

twitter needs to address the problem of being able to search for women between a certain age, size and european nationality and filter out profiles with photos only then i can see it catching on mainstream.

i will continue to use with the site with caution but am going back to blogger and hotmail for all my communication and dating requirements.

back online again

i can finally get into my blog. they talk about britain becoming 100% connected, yet these so called experts couldnt even let me into my blog. i think it had a lot to do with forgetting my password.


because my life is so very boring right now i have had little to say and therefore twitter seems an ample recepticle for the few words i have.it is an intregeing site and it allows me to update my thoughts via the phone which is a very exciting prospect when walking home and/or using the toilet. twitter has been in the news recently as being 'the next big thing', i would loved to have seen the BBC when they announced a PR spokesman from Twitter would be coming on to explain the site, but he was limited to do it in 140 characters or less. i am not sold on twitter yet for the same reason that i shall not use facebook----- none of the people whom i communicate with in guildford use it, we are all on SMS, i dont really want to reunited with old school bullys nor torture myself with images of prettygirls that never were.

i feel like crying because i want a girlfriend so badly

My worst fear isn't that i will die a lonely man, but that i will live as one too.

christmas wishes

if santa reads blogs please can i have some deoderant as i dont think i can last another week without. and also someone to love.

bbc web site blocked in china

so the chinese wont be able to browse the bbc web site any more but was there really that much demand for badly written news stories about strictly come dancing, celebraty divorses and reality tv show results? i cant see many chinamen claiming opression about missing todays headline "Rapper Akon admits concert charge", not getting a rewritten press release promoting High School musical or being able to send an interactive eastenders christmas card.

i went away for a few months but when i got back online i noticed the bbc web site is less award winning journalism and more heat magazine. no wonder china is doing so well and britian is down the toilet, no decent reporting any more and everyone paying 100 quid for crap tv.

it is only a matter of time before the bbc dies. i work funny shifts and i cant rely on the iplayer as it doesnt work on my home computer, they dont reply to emails to fix it (from a picture of the team it looks like only 8 people work on it, the rest of the bbc are writing articles on madaonna) and apparently it only stores 7 days worth of tv; currys sell hard disk recorders which can record up to 4 weeks worth for less than the price of the licenece fee.

i could go to jail over something so petty as not paying my licence fee, but i dont watch any bbc shows any more so this isnt very fair, i just own a tv set. its like buying a car in the uk and paying road tax for it even though i only drive it abroad, or buying a phone on tmobile but having to pay contract for vodaphone. i hear stories that they need a hundred pounds from me per year to pay for the extravigent tv show launches, but i was never invited.

the bbc is just a quango run by daily mail readers which isnt relevant to bloggers and i really do hope it is forced to pay its own way. the world doesnt owe the bbc a living.

i am no nerd

i havent used my computer properly for months until i started blogging a couple of weeks ago and now i am already turning geeky. earlier today i made a mistake when putting some holes in a cubical wall and for a split second i expected an undo button to be on the drill. although i think current technology will not allow this feature i hope that black&decker will find out a way in time for next christmas.

i am worried this may get worse as i opened a twitter account last week to see what is so great about telling the world someone is taking a dump ,although i would not concider myself a true nerd yet as i cannot think of a valid excuse to use it when i'm supposed to be working. i simply want to find girls who are up for it in less than 160 charecters and somehow send free text messages to mates.

technology is mearly mans way of justifying his existance when the clock on his parents video recorder needs changing, anything more complicated is just showing off.

daily mail hippocrites

in the factory today all i heard from the lads was that 'moylese speaks for the boys' and it was funny what he said about the polish. once again chris moyles gets racist on air again,this time he has stated that all polish people make good prostitutes. this is both an insult to the polish and to prostitutes,both hard working honest decent groups of people who keep this country running and do the jobs that noone else wants to do.


but instead of organising the usual witchhunt, salary outrage and sacking the daily mail let chris moyles off, presumably becase he's on the same side as the mail by being an anti-polish bully with a big audience of morons.




it is upsetting that the hipocrits can drum up over 40 thousand people to sack someone for telling the truth about having intercourse with someones granddaughter, yet a man with a history of sexist racist and anti gay broadcasting is let off scott free again becuase he stirs up indentical hate speech as the only newspaper who would do anything about it.


racists

How many royal navy commandos can you see in this scene?

i hate that advert on TV. not only does it appear on every commercial break on every channel every hour of the day, but it implies that you have what it takes to be a commando if you are good at the "Wheres Wally?" cartoons. putting our nations security in the hands of a group of people who got their qualification from playing Eye Spy gives me the same uneasy feeling as when i realised sarah palin had a fairly strong chance of nuking the planet.



in days of old the army recruited by showing films of causes worth fighting for - eg defeating the hunn, pearl habour newsreels and the sinking of the belgrano - these would compell hundreds of young men and women to enrol and fight for their country and quite rightly so.

i think the reason why the army has resorted to hide and seek adverts is that the currennt war hasnt got any clear objectivives - a war on 'terror' is so ambigious, people will always be terrified of something; camel-fiddlers with bombs in their shoes or otherwise. personally i get terrified every time i go on a date, attend a job interview and pay for a round but i dont see the need to do these activities under sniper cover. if and when this war finally ends i bet people will still be terrified of things, i will. george bush will not have eradicated an emotion for an entire species like the vulcans.



i am also confused about the troops exit strategy and why it take so long to pack a bag and get on an airoplane. i heard that getting through airport security is a lengthy process in america so it stands to reason that it'll be tighter than a nuns chuff in iraq where all the bombers live. during the start of the war you'll remember that it only took a few hours to occupy iraq, yet its going to take them 18 months to exit. this is madness. but anyone with experience of a British Gas salesman will recall a simerlar feeling of trying to understand how it took the bastard just 2 minutes to get his foot in the door and yet 4 hours later he's still sitting on your sofa flogging you overpriced boiler breakdown cover.

if they wanted the war recruitment advert to tell the truth they should film the meter on a petrol pump spinning up $10 a litre whilst someone was filling up the car which that might enrage the nation into enrolling to fight for what they really believe in. or having osama binladen phone up andrew sacks and saying he shagged his granddaughter;hoards of peeople would be enlisting seeking blood then.



i am still nowhere nearer to solving the puzzle of how many british soldiers i can spot on the beech, maybe the missing ones are victims of friendly fire.

i must sleep, i only went to check my email and have ended up blogging.

selfish large corporations

i just read on the side of a box "Tetley - we don't make tea for anyone else". it immediataly reminded me of this miserable sourfaced battleaxe i work with who doesn't make the tea for anyone else either when its her turn during breaktimes and we all hate her for it. this is not behavour which Tetley ought to be advertising if they are anything like that selfish old witch who cant be bothered to knock up a quick brew for everyone on the line, you think tetley would know better given their business.

terrible news

i have just seen the news and the horrible things that have happened in India. it makes me so sad,why do people do such bad things to other human beings? these attacks were clearly organised and not a spur of the moment thing, surely one of the many people doing this had some rational thoughts and knew it was wrong. my thoughts go out to the victims at this time and wish them all the best.
