Wednesday… another day off, a successful meal cooked for Lemony (my first Italian meal and that is saying something, as I usually detest pasta) and a few more sidings connected on the old layout.
On another note, who in the hell is Heath Ledger (part of the audit team over at the Department for the Environment I assume).? Some random Australian actor dies and suddenly everyone is very sad. *Puts hand up* Me Miss…. I’m not.!
Talking of the slow death of celebrities, Amy Winehouse and her little video made an interesting bit of reading in the paper yesterday. I really cannot understand people like her. Slight bit of money and stress from being famous and it’s out with the pipe and down with the tablets. Why.??? Some people blame it on the problems of being famous, well if that IS the problem then stop writing songs and retire. Either way, stop courting the press and making things worse for yourself and the rest of us…
…and on the subject of courting the press… what the hell is Britney Spears up to.!? First off, dating a Brummie, is that a good idea. Surely there is a bit of a language barrier there between a trailer park home US twang and the nasal snort of “Alroight Brit-noi, hows yaoow douuing.” Rumours fly today that she is back with this mid-country weirdo (and if you think he is odd, look what his ex-wife says, she is a bloody nutter). All seems like another desperate bit of attention seeking from one of the now fallen stars of the late 1990s. Lets hope she releases that all important first porn movie sometime soon… any suggestions for titles.? I could only conjour up “Fuck Me Baby One More Time”, “Oops, I Did Him Again” or “Sometimes (I Take It Up The Ring From A Man Called Bruce Who I Don’t Know But He Has A Bushy Moustache)”. Ahem.
David Attenborough (who I am currently watching on the fabulous Life In The Undergrowth DVD) has hit back at the BBC, who have been trying desperately to cull off as many people as possible from all the different departments to save money (so ensuring a massive bonus for the top management I would assume). He has pointed out that there is going to be a real problem with losing so many talented people from the various film units, especially the nature side of things, that the quality of the programmes themselves is going to sugger terribly.
So now Mr Attenborough has sadly retired, the new look BBC nature output could look like this… Dermot O’Leary, in a shed, with a video camera he borrowed off a next door neighbour, checking out the woodlice. Or Jordan, checking out the wildlife in her pubes. Lovely.
On the note of overpaid stupid people, or high level management such as the DG of the BBC, or the bloke who runs Firstgroup, thankfully it has been found, the more you are paid in your job, the more you drink, so the quicker you die. Knowing the salary and bonuses that Mr Firstgroup makes I am hoping he will be dropping off the perch via a massive bottle of cognac anytime soon.!
The news in shorts now (oooh look at those white, stringy legs o’mine)…
The Italian government is on the breach of collapse. Apparently there are a line of tanks outside the main offices, all ready to take away important people… all in reverse.
Russia is moaning because people who had their pictures stolen from them back in 1917 in the middle of the revolution, now want compensation of their pictures back. Greece has jumped on the bandwagon and wants the Elgin Marbles back. And I say give ‘em to them.. preferably from the bomb bay of a large bomber, from 35,000 feet up.
Japan has been forced to stop whale hunting in the sea near Australia. It says “we did it during the war so why can’t we now”… if that is the rule then we will be expecting nuclear raids on the Japanese mainland in a week or so.
Cooking classes are being brought back into the school curriculum. Which means MORE little 16 year old single mothers cooking their OWN chips in their council houses and setting themselves alight… so a good idea all round I think.
Oooh what a gay day.! Any one up for a little WoW.?
