6.2.13 Thoughts of the Day

Taking Stock



If Marco Pierre White is such a good cook, why on earth does he appear in an advert for Knorr, and lovingly place an oval lump of brown jelly in a large pan of food?  Chicken Stock Pots are mass produced and a million miles away from the efforts expected of, and expected by, chefs!

Bypass Users

I believe that no one should be allowed to use any bypass if the speed at which he or she decides to travel would be totally appropriate for taking the alternative route through the built-up areas and/or town centre.  30mph on a fucking bypass that is designed for movement at 60mph is intolerable!

Alcohol Users

I was not happy to hear on my car radio a reference to "drug addicts and alcohol users".  I use the bypass, I use an Acer laptop.  However, I do NOT 'use' alcohol.  To 'use' alcohol suggests anything other than drinking it. Someone who perhaps cleans certain items with an alcohol-based substance could be said to 'use' alcohol.  So, Libby Purves, please see the error of your ways and speak properly in future.

Tesco Twats

The people in charge at Tesco have decided that the film "New Year's Day" is worth £14.00 at the moment.  This has been the price for a while now, although anyone wanting to buy it can do so in Asda for £7.00.  What's laughable at Tesco is this film's appearance in a small section of DVDs which is clearly aimed at those looking ahead to Valentine's Day.  Yes, next to the array of pink and red shit, I saw a selection of (well half a dozen) DVDs that for some weird reason included "LOL" (with the awful Mylie Cyrus) and the obvious "Valentine's Day" at just £5.00.  Right next to it was "New Year's Day" [that's right, it was indeed 36 days ago] at £14.00, and on its front was a red sticker saying "Valentine's Day".  What desperate yet fucking inappropriate and useless (not to mention shit value) marketing is this heap of bollocks?

Tattoos

I saw the sign writing and was instantly annoyed at the misuse of English.  A 'solution' is either a means of solving a problem, the correct answer to a puzzle, or a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.  Sadly, many companies now believe their services or products are the answers to life's problems - even when there is nothing that needs solving.  On the inside of the rear window of the estate car in front of me, above a phone number and email address, where the words "Tattoo Solutions".  I can be totally confident that the driver was in no way promoting inks of various colours. No, it was a pretentious approach to making his tattooing services rather more intriguing than is the case.  There is really no need for a solution to tattoos.  The issue of 'Security' is one that could be said to benefit from somebody able to offer solutions, and the same goes for 'Crosswords', because one always needs the solutions included at the back of the book, or in the next day's paper.  I do not see tattoos as problematic, and so they are not a problem requiring a solution.

Sarah Ferguson

What a pointless individual and general waste of space.
