Nov. 4th, 2011 @ 12:39 pm Greek Prime Minister
So he has grown some cahones and dropped the referendum on the bail out. So when will he get the sack? Can't be long. Never going to win the confidence vote.

Jan. 12th, 2009 @ 08:57 pm Harry and his racist comments
Current Mood: aggravatedaggravated
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7823404.stm

It has been a while but I wanted to vent so here I go.

What is up with all the fuss of Harry calling his mate a “paki”? Yes it was wrong from him to have said it BUT it was said 3 years ago before he was told off for wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party - which he apologised for at the time.

I wish the media would get a grip and stop making a mountain of a molehill and ultimately making the situation worse than it is. Does anyone need reminding of how something small can balloon? Look at the Jonathan Ross/Russell brand gate scenario when they insulted Andrew Sachs daughter. Yes they should not have said what they said but there was only one complaint from the original show until the media turned it into I think the final tally was 40,000 complaints.

For anyone not having experienced something like the forces mentality, everyone has nicknames. Taffy for Welshman, Jock for Scotsman, fatty for the larger person, specky for the visually challenged, tiny for the vertically challenged (or even the tall people), need I go on as there are many many more?


Get a grip people and for all those offended by the term.

Be offended when it matters. Look at things in context. And for goodness sake grow a backbone.

Nov. 14th, 2007 @ 08:55 pm OK a more serious post about The Egyptian Mufti
Current Mood: angryangry
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7094076.stm

The Egyptian mufti says "speeding drivers cannot be condemned for killing people who deliberately stand in their way"

Aye, great advice quote, eejit.

"The mufti also offended many by saying that 26 Egyptian illegal migrants who drowned trying to reach Europe were the victims of their own greed rather than martyrs. "
This statement was delivered the day when the bodies were been repatriated.

Some people give muslims a bad name and this guy tops the bill this week.

So when are the Egyptian authorities going to remove him from office? I issue a fatwa on him. Well i would if I was the Mufti, seeing as i am not Muslim I guess I just have to be pissed off with him.

As strange as this is, and whether you agree or not surely he was doing this in privacy so why is he on the sex register? Why was he even charged?

I heard from a mate of a mate that the guy was introduced to the village bike and was told she was a good ride but this has not been confirmed!

Current Mood: happyhappy
Missing Suitcase

Well at long last I have got my suitcase,
Just as i was thinking about getting the mace,
And find these bastards all over the world,
That made my blood boil and my hair curled

Where the hell has it been
It's 3 weeks since it was last seen
Did it leave Malaysia or was it lost at Heathrow
Perhaps i will never know

But thanks to Maria, Tony did his stuff
The Saint's card worked just as i had had enough
Was hoping it might work so thank yaw for doing your thang
Life is full of ups and down, if you will, its own yin and yang

Crap maybe but i had to write something. Not written anything in ages

Aug. 16th, 2007 @ 01:22 pm BB Nominations
Current Mood: amusedamused
I have not really been on LJ much in recent times not sure whybut nobody seems to be commenting but the series is coming to an end so here goes.

Amy was an obvious eviction last week.

Brian, Carole, Gerry, Jonty, Kara-Louise and Liam are up this week with the gurus to choose 1 from the 2 most voted for to go. Brian and Liam are definite stayers.

Carole could be up as she has been moaning and crying a lot about the cooking/cleaning. It's a gameshow not real life live a little woman. She won't go though.

Gerry - has also been moaning a lot and is worried about being booed so i think he will probably one of the ones up and possibly going but loyalty within the group will probably save him.

This leaves the newbies Jonty and Kara-Louise who i would guess will be the final two up. Jonty will probably stay as Kara-Louise has not done anything and as crazy as Jonty is, does seem a normalish guy who likes a laugh so my vote this week goes for Kara-Louise - wait for the tears to come flowing AGAIN.

Aug. 16th, 2007 @ 01:20 pm A 15 minute Poem
Current Mood: contentcontent
It's been a while since I wrote anything and this was written whilst playing chess a couple nights ago. Enjoy (or not!)

Bruised Fruit

My love is like a red red rose
Nah bollox! Like everyone already knows
A strong love takes time and effort to develop
Like a fine wine I long for it to fill the brim of my cup

The seed from whence it might start
Could be a chance meeting at the mini mart
or down the pub with a mate
I leave to the gods and my fate

My heart lies deep inside akin to a juicy inviting fruit
Waiting for that special someone but often, them I do refute
Distrusting so many and shying away more and more
I feel damaged and bruised to the core

Aug. 2nd, 2007 @ 08:26 pm Race crime up after terror attack
Current Mood: aggravatedaggravated
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6924745.stm

Chief Inspector Val Thomson of Strathclyde Police's diversity unit said the classic line, "On some days there have been less than 10 incidents and on other days there have been more than 10.”

Anyway back to my main point, is this not obviously going to happen anywhere in the world after a terrorist attack? There are just too many bigots in this world and this will never change, at least not for several generations.

How the Muslim world will recover from this will take a very long time. Not all Muslims are terrorists, just as all Glaswegians are not racist. Why is Scotland and the UK, both of which are so called multi culturist have so many bigots or resisting the need for change?

Some are against being British and refer to themselves as Scottish (which I must admit I do too) and not British. Some British people are British and not European. What is it with these labels? Why can’t we just get on. It saddens me these labels cause such offence to some, whilst many similar offences are reflected throughout the world in many guises.

Most religions allege that we should be kind and respectful to others and all living things. So how come these minorities of most if not all religions cause so much bother? Why are these fundamentalist interpretations of their respective religious texts so twisted?

A very interesting article and well worth a read. Hope my holiday to Malaysia coming up feels like it lasts for a year! Remember Andrew glass is half full and NOT half empty.

Kara-Louise - quiet public school girl. I don't know what to make of her yet.
