11.10.13 General News




Football

This just about sums up the state of affairs these days.  I read about David De Gea's agent negotiating a two-year extension and a £15,000 pay rise. Ordinarily, this number would make sense to 'Joe public', and one might be forgiven for thinking that someone having an appraisal at work might be given confirmation of an extended arrangement plus a pay rise.  But the £15,000 mentioned is not the annual increase, but the WEEKLY amount, so that he's now earning over £75,000 PER WEEK!  As ever, football is up its own arse; what's worse is that De Gea is hardly the worse offender or example of how football is fucked!

The 18-year-old Adnan Januzaj is NOT English.  Can we please stop the pathetic campaign to try and 'claim him'.  Is England so fucking desperate that convincing foreign players to adopt England is now the best way of securing a decent team?

ITV - what lazy fucking scheduling.  7.30pm - 10.10pm is far too much to allocate to a game of football, and yet apparently there's a need for a further fucking hour, 10.45pm to 11.45pm for highlights!  Incredible, especially as it was for England!

Downton Abbey or 'Down With Democracy?

The latest uselessness of the UK to confirm it is a free country [which of course it is not] is being provided by Downton Abbey's last episode including a rape.  Nothing was actually seen, but there was some screaming and a bloke striking a woman.  This led, apparently by the next day, to 60 complaints, and by the next day that had escalated to 300.  Excuse me, but since when did the mumblings of three hundred whingers with too much time on their hands overshadow the majority, which no doubt amounts to around ten cuntin million people?  I have no idea what the outcome will be - probably nothing - but the programme producers and actors involved should not have to be on the defensive, and be forced to explain the story line or reasoning for the script. As ever, it takes just a handful of 'complaints' to cause a rumpus.  When will the useless establishment adopt what the western world tries to force on regimes considered abhorrent - that thing called 'democracy', eh?

Strictly Come Dancing

I haven't yet seen in the news whether Bruce Forsythe is well enough to appear on this week's show.  Let's hope not, though.

Yoghurt Crisis

Apparently there's a lot of movement on the commodity markets.  Gold prices may well be continuing to fall but investors in yoghurt must be creaming themselves.  I say this because there has been a sudden jump in world pices. How else could Asda explain why its 500g own brand pots (which have been on sale for about a year £1 - except when occasionally on offer at 50p) be on sale for £1.20 now?  The instant jump must surely be because the world price of yoghurt has jumped, otherwise the only explanation would be that there are games being played and corporate cuntism is occurring.  Hmmm; maybe Asda is leading the way with its spin and bollocks.

Another School Proves Itself Pathetic

Nikita Morrison was excluded from school for three days for taking in a bottle of drink that was described as Shandy - although so painfully low in alcohol content that it is sold in the soft drinks aisle, and there is no restriction on their sale or consumption.  The UK Foods Standards Agency confirms this.  As ever, we have heard the quite pathetic noises from a school trying to justify its actions after the event.  Alan Armstrong, the interim Head of Gloucester Academy said:

"This school and all schools never exclude a student lightly or for trivial reasons.  Schools have a duty of care to ensure all students are kept safe safe." 

Have you ever heard such shit?  No, thought not.  I think it is more often proved to be the case that schools (and especially 'academies') are up their own arses, and make stupid choices on a regular basis, over things like school uniforms, haircuts, conkers, teachers' conduct, disciplinary matters, compensation payments, and a host of things that we don't always get to hear of.

Yawn of the Week

Cheryl Tweedy has split from Tre Holloway.  This is rather less interesting or amusing as the silly tattoo on her arse, or the fact that she insists on retaining and using the name of a bloke she divorced, and does not herself opt for the 'Tweedy' tag.
