What's the difference...

...between Bono and Bob Geldof?
 
 
 
 
They look different.
 
Apart from that, they're both jumped up Irish twats.

NON!

Well, the French do have a use - to vote 'non' regarding a European Constitution. The problem, however, is why they voted this way.
They voted 'non' because they are dirty communists, not because they realise that the EU is a joke.
 
Still, the no's have it.

Charlotte Church

Good God, no. Go back to classical music, something you could actually manage.

Big Brother goes quiet?

The UKTV satellite network is launching a "public spirited" attack on reality TV by offering £70,000 to Big Brother contestants if they refuse to speak during the 11-week series.
UKTV said its prize was an attempt to "diminish the amount of mindless drivel generated by the deluge of reality TV shows".
 
Brilliant.

Football

With a few exceptions, obviously, football fans are the lowest level
of humanity. Especially northern ones. Especially Liverpudlian ones.
The whole Heysel/Hillsborough thing proves it. Dirty scouser bastards.

Licence fee

I do love it when people argue for the scrapping of the licence fee, because they "never watch the BBC" - especially when they do so via comments on BBC News Online.
 
Fucking twats.

iTunes 4.9

Apparently the next version of iTunes, 4.9, will include support for 'podcasting'. When announcing this, however, Steve Jobs played down the trend, describing it as "Wayne's World for radio."
 
And rightly so, Stevey boy.

BBC strikes

Wait, this is 2005, right? Not 1975?
 
Shit me. I love the BBC and all, but these commie strikers are bad.

Eurovision

It's quite a scary prospect for the human race that this shit is
classified as 'entertainment'. Where DID we go wrong?

Any takers?

I am betting that Charlotte Church charges £5 a go. Anyone who's interested, should contact her management. I can't think who would be interested though (maybe a masochist?), so I can't be arsed to find out who her agent is. Why not Google it?

Fearne Cotton

Shit me. What the fuck does she think she's wearing on this week's TOTP?

Beckham dreams of space

 
"England captain David Beckham has said he would consider becoming an astronaut and going to the Moon when he ends his playing career."
 
With any luck he'd stay there.

The Thick of It

Nowhere near as funny or enthralling as Yes Minister or Yes, Prime Minister, but still pretty good. Makes you realise how much of a shit Alastair Campbell really is.

I hate hypocrites

Coldplay, and in particular Chris Martin, are often vocal about their
hatred of capitalism.

And did anyone see the colour of the Coldplay iPod? Ugly as sin.

DVDs

Why do the Americans get British shows on DVD when we don't? I'm thinking in particular, Monty Python's Flying Circus (complete), the Vicar of Dibley (complete), Are You Being Served? (complete), and Benny Hill. There are of course many more, but it doesn't half piss me off.

Of course, they also get a lot of it on TV. Just look at the average BBC America schedule for an idea of what I mean. Hour after hour of Benny Hill and Monty Python's Flying Circus. We NEVER see Benny Hill in the UK, and rarely get to behold Python.

Australia are just as bad/lucky, though. They always seem to see The Goodies, but I don't remember it ever being on here! Boo hiss boo.

QI streaker!

At a pre-recording of the comedy panel series QI earlier this evening, a rather pale man ran naked down through the audience, hopped over the barrier onto the studio floor, and proceeded to dance around, before hugging Stephen Fry. Mad.
Generally, you'd have thought streaking would not occur at a pre-recording, and much less before the cameras had even started filming.
 
Somewhat worrying. I just hope it was nothing to do with Stephen.

Everyone hates France!

Basically, a survey throughout Europe of what people thought of the French (NOT what they hated about them), came up with no positives. At all.

By Henry Samuel in The Telegraph

Language, history, cooking and support for rival football teams still divide Europe. But when everything else fails, one glue binds the continent together: hatred of the French.

Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are.

But now after the publication of a survey of their neighbours' opinions of them at least they no longer have any excuse for not knowing how unpopular they are.

Why the French are the worst company on the planet, a wry take on France by two of its citizens, dredges up all the usual evidence against them. They are crazy drivers, strangers to customer service, obsessed by sex and food and devoid of a sense of humour.

But it doesn't stop there, boasting a breakdown, nation by nation, of what in the French irritates them.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Britons described them as "chauvinists, stubborn, nannied and humourless". However, the French may be more shocked by the views of other nations.

For the Germans, the French are "pretentious, offhand and frivolous". The Dutch describe them as "agitated, talkative and shallow." The Spanish see them as "cold, distant, vain and impolite" and the Portuguese as "preaching". In Italy they comes across as "snobs, arrogant, flesh-loving, righteous and self-obsessed" and the Greeks find them "not very with it, egocentric bons vivants".

Interestingly, the Swedes consider them "disobedient, immoral, disorganised, neo-colonialist and dirty".

But the knockout punch to French pride came in the way the poll was conducted. People were not asked what they hated in the French, just what they thought of them.

"Interviewees were simply asked an open question - what five adjectives sum up the French," said Olivier Clodong, one of the study's two authors and a professor of social and political communication at the Ecole Superieur de Commerce, in Paris. "The answers were overwhelmingly negative."

According to Mr Clodong, the old adage that France is wonderful, it's just the French who are the problem, is shared across Europe.

"We are admired for our trains, the Airbus and Michelin tyres. But the buck stops there," he said.

Another section of the study deals with how the French see the rest of Europe.

"Believe it or not, the English and the French use almost exactly the same adjectives to describe each other - bar the word 'insular'," Mr Coldong said. "So the feelings are mutual."

England is Conservative

Yes, England is Conservative, and I'm proud of it. The Conservative
Party received far more votes in England than Labour did.
Geographically, the majority of the UK, nevermind just England, is
blue. Labour win because they hold the hundreds of minute urban
constituencies, and constantly reform the constituency boundaries so
that they have more. Conservative constituencies tend to be extremely
large, and have many electorates.

Scotland and Wales aren't any better. Their representatives get to
vote on issues in Westminster which only concern England, but English
MPs do not get a vote on issues in Scotland or Wales. This is
completely racist against England and the English, promoted by a
predominantly Scottish government.

Sitcoms

Why are so many new sitcoms now filmed in a documentary style? It's
not original, it's not clever, but primarily, it's not funny.

EU bans working

Looks like from the end of this week, people will not be allowed to even CHOOSE to work more than 48 hours a week.

BACK OFF, BRUSSELS.

How did Labour win?

By lying to and misleading the British public.

For one, they claimed that the Conservatives wanted to charge for NHS operations. WRONG
They also said that "Tory sums don't add up". WRONG
...Nevermind the fact that [Labour] had no policies WHATSOEVER. Their whole election campaign can be summed up like so - "TORIES BAD. WE'RE NOT THEM. VOTE LABOUR."

Also by getting The Sun on-side, but that's another matter.

Must. Wash. Brain.

Today, I have an awful (but awfully catchy) Girls Aloud song stuck in my head. It was on a TV advert or something of the like last night, and now it won't go away!

Kind of like Tony Blair then. :(
