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.

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

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.

christmas shopping

i was stuck in HMV today behind a woman who was buying a brain training computer game and a high school musical DVD . would watching the two cancel each other out?

BBC, banks and bailouts are all connected

it seems right now that the only way to get things done in the united kingdom is for record numbers of outraged licence fee payers to leave a comment on the bbc web site. it has suddenly become the only gauge for something being morrily or politically correct when enough "Appalled from Conventry" type people leave blog comments saying how they shat themselves after a cloud resembling a giant arse appeared on a recent episode of Spooks.



the internet has made it easier to complain about things, if i saw something which offended me on the TV 10 years ago i would have calmed down long before forking out for the price of a stamp and posting it to Points of View ---- these days its as easy as clicking a link on the Daily Mail web site. i can see the danger with 'e-goverment' is that it'll soon be too easy to complain about trivial things to our polititions who be bogged down with hundreds of thousands of emails about individual pot holes, noisey bin men, lollypop ladies not smiling and cracks in the pavements.



several thousands of poeple rencenly left hysterical messages with the BBC when russell brand left manuel from fawlty towers an answer phone message un-tactfully introducing himself as his granddaughter new boyfreind. However, John Cleese hit the same bloke over the head with a telephone, repeatedly kicked him, made zenophobic jokes and at one point set the poor imagrant on fire after throwing a giant blamonge on his head - not a single complaint then and that was in the olden days.



today i read that 170,000 people left messages on the bbc web site complaining about the outcome of a game show. 170 thousand poeple with the nothing better to do than be bitterly outraged at the outcome of 'Strictly Come Dancing'... but to put that in perspective only 108 people left concerned messages on a recent article about the state of the budget and economy. we all deserve to loose our homes if we are more worried about the outcome of a dance contest than interest rates being higher than adam curry on holiday in columbia, the poeple in the UK are living in a dream world.



but when the bailiffs come knocking at least those 108 people can safely say they warned us, shame on the rest of you who were too busy with the outcome of a reality tv show to care about your money.

the irony is that they could have affected the outcome of their own reality prior to loosing their house by expressing their outrage the only way they know how. now gordon brown can stand up in the houses of parliment and say that only 108 of the nations constituents could be arsed about finances - so poo to you all, no amount of foxtrotting is going to help the fact you will be spending your christmas day noshing off sailors to help pay the mortgage this year.



for some reason licence fee payers want to be treated more like shareholders in the bbc. they each pay around 100 pounds a year thinking they run the joint. if they want to spend 100 a year to watch exactly what they want then i suggest a blockbusters membership card then we don't have to all put up with the same bland tripe that they call entertainment. if they really want to use this shareholders argument then it will take a majority of said shareholders to make decisions about what happens on the TV - 51% or more of the country will need to sign on to the BBC web site to get presenters sacked, dance contests overruled and full frontal nudity on daytime TV for when I'm working nights.

i am no expert when it comes to the census, but looking at the numbers - thats 170 thousand poeple out of the 60 million TV owners in the UK - and thats not a majority. this is in fact a lot less than the newspaper headlines claims of an 'overwhelming shocked majority of the country' to put things in proportion this would be more like 'a couple of arseholes next door who complain to the police every time my hamster farts too loud'.



i would like to point out two other shining examples of corporations run by shareholders - banks and car manufacturers who addmittedly havent had a very good time of things recently. its easy to predict a goverment funded BBC bailout looming, with the channel promising to pay back every penny of a proposed 70 billion pound loan with a 12 part series of Gavin and Stacy with interest paid back in the form of a christmas special in HD. i'll personally vote for that bailout - but only if it i get my daytime quota of full frontal which shouldn't overlap with any episodes of Gavin and Stacy.



i think the bbc needs to be run more like a dictatorship than the quivvering mouse. the director general needs to make an iron fist and make decisions that he sticks by and that we The People do not question and looking to leaders like stalin, pol pot and banatyne for inspiration. Life would be in put into perspective, a whopping 170,000 people would rise up to complain about loosing their homes, a mere 108 mentally ill people would complain about Sequin Idol and we'd all finally get a good glimpse of Amanda Lambs hanging bacon on primetime telly.

Wanted for TV segment "Diana and Me"

Have you been hospitalised then been visited by Lady Diana? are you mental? Do you genuinely beleive that an ex-princess on a photo opportunity to upset the inlaws miraculasly cured you of a broken leg by regardless of being surrounded by a team of medical experts? can you look tearfullly into a camera and convince a stadium full of chinless aristocratic toffs who cant dance that being touched by a member of the royal family was just like Jesus curing lepars? BBC television are putting together some over sentimental short segments called "Diana and Me" and would like to hear from you if you'd like to take part in the tv event of the day featuring some of the biggest names in mime like lily alen, will young and that flange off the black eyed pees.


i dont think she would have wanted this.
