13.1.13 Bullet Point News

News Roundup

  • Taylor Swift - the split with Harry will translate to loads more nursery rhymes, sorry, new songs.  I get the impression each of her relationships is simply a fact-finding mission so she's got something to write about.
  • So. John McCririck is suing Channel 4 for £3million, claiming he's been ditched because of ageism and 'humiliated'.  I am not sure how he can accuse anyone of humiliating him when he does the best job of that all on his own.  Apart from the tossy get-up and ludicrous actions, he is someone who hardly makes you want to watch him.  How he's lasted this long I've no idea.
  • Britney has gone from X-Factor USA.  No great surprise; I saw her efforts on one programme and thought a frog croaking would outperform her.  Waste of space, although she's laughing all the way to the bank.
  • I see Sven and Nancy are trying to resolve the legal stalemate over the £2.7million London flat.  These two are a joke.  He is a money-orientated womaniser whose sole aim in the football world is to achieve mediocrity whilst earning the most possible.  She is a hanger-on whose sole aim is to hang on to anything and everything, especially notoriety, if not actual fame.  Sad pair, and they should both be locked in the flat for Sven years . . . haha.
  • I thought things were getting better at the Daily Mail, as regards the quantity of news in its Saturday edition.  Alas not.  On 5th January, the equivalent of 57 of 120 pagers were devoted to adverts, which is 47.5%.  Yesterday, 12th January, we were up to 59 of 128 pages - so although the percentage plummeted to 'only' 46.1% (sarcasm, folks) it was still two more pages of shit.
  • Bill Bailey is on TV in adverts asking for £5 towards research to try and stop the effects of prostate cancer.  Okay, but considering I pay many many thousands per year to the government in National Health contributions, why exactly should the NHS not be doing something useful in this area already?  I am all for good causes, but there are now far too many misplaced appeals as well as pleas from 20,000+ registered charities in this country.  Maybe the government should stop giving away millions of pounds to other countries and secret bailouts, and spend it on something useful at home?
