Deliver Us From Swedish Furniture

Is it just me or do expressions like ‘You really owned him’ get on your tits too? My biggest problem is that most of the time people use it, they are referring to those that would comfortably sit in the box marked ‘useless twat’ if only you could be bothered to think enough of them to put them there. So, why the hell would I want to own them?

Can’t I just dispose of them in some bio-degradable way that means they won’t emit any more CO2 - actually no, forget it, the amount of methane they emit means that we just need to get rid of them, the CO2 they emit is finite, unlike the amount of methane….

A high ranking US military type has told Reuters that gadgets like Google Earth are a ‘danger to security’ He was also asked if he thought that they might be planning to restrict these applications. His reply was the everso slightly guarded “I don’t want to speak to specifics, but not that I’m aware of”….hmmmm! Read the rest of this entry »

I found this one today. So Jill Coccaro (also known as Phoenix Feeley in her more artistic persona…although doing this to get some attention to her artistic career was never on the agenda, no sireee…) was demonstrating about the Iraq invasion in 2005, some might say this was a little late, but what the hell. According to The New York Observer at the time, a pair of fully-clothed Texan women Read the rest of this entry »

The latest Rough Guide to Britain has been getting grief for pointing out that the areas outside the major cities in the UK are really not worth visiting. I grew up in one of those horrible satellite towns that litter the 50ish mile radius around London, so I am going to give them some grief too.

These are soul destroying little warts of lazy, small minded, Little-Englanders Read the rest of this entry »

Togo were robbed.  Shocking linesman decissions and appalling ref made me realise that although we have morons running the line and randomly blowing a whistle in an officious manner in the Premiership, at least they are our incompetant fools.

Swiss fans were not too shabby.  The Togo supporters club apparantly got caught up in customs, otherwise I am sure that there would have been more than the 23 that actually made it.  Therefore the Swiss turned the whole stadium red and filled it with alpine horns, cow bells and a faint whiff of cheese.

NOW FOR A RANT……
Face paint and Mexican waves…. NO, NO, NO, NO and once again, for Christ sakes NO.  They are wrong in every possible way. Oh yeah, as are those most European of German fans that show up to some one elses football game wearing their own nation´s shirt and then adding flags or face paint to complete their ensamble.
FACE PAINT - it is just not on.  Unless you are one of those crazies that turns up (like some of the Togolese and Korean fans) covered from head to foot in hte stuff, and can only manage a little flag on your cheek then please stop. Same for those fools with national flag wigs. Stop it.

Worst of all though is MEXICAN WAVES. The true sign of people that know fuck all about football.  If the match is boring, then live with it. Stop trying to make you own entertainment.  It is dull, dated and makes everyone involved look a tosser.  England fans may have a lot at answer for, but at least when they get bored they invent an amusing song.  Even the Italians, who have been the most lifeless fans of the WC so far draw the line at leaping in the air like a bunch of tourist sheep with piles.

While I am on the rant…. all those Americans that think the UK are playing…. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE UK IN FOOTBALL.
