13.6.19 Liz Truss - No Trust

I was unfortunate enough this week to be listening to Radio 4 when Liz Truss was being interviewed by John Humphrys.  I have rarely endured such a pathetic level of input from a politician.

Liz Truss was quite simply an embarrassment to herself, and decency, as she steadfastly refused to answer the questions posed, regarding Boris Johnson's suitability to hold the office of Prime Minister. This interview showed her to be a toadie and a cock-sucker indeed, as she lauded him, while repeatedly dodging the questions put to her.  She did nothing to remove any of the concerns over Boris and his suitability, and everything to confirm she is a complete twat.

This woman cannot be trusted to deliver any sort of decent, honest or valuable input.  I listened with disgust at this pointless studio presence, and the shit that was served to us in a nasal tone.  Fuck off, luv, if you cannot answer straightforward questions, and you clearly want a promotion.

For the record, anyone who believes that Boris Johnson is a fit and proper person to be the Prime Minister is deluded, crazy and a twat as well.  It is actually deplorable that the Tories are likely to have him in the last two for the race to PM, let alone likely to elect him.  The buffoon and liar is in no way a sensible choice.

7.6.19 Sign Writing Disasters

I have long been interested in sign writing approaches, and the variation on vans is massive.  Among the professional looking vans is a contingent that is quite simply embarrassing.  I have seen so many spelling mistakes, and issues where attention to detail is non-existent.  The latest example was clocked yesterday in an Asda car park.

This is laughable really. 

NON FERREOUS instead of NON FERROUS
GENARATE instead of GENERATE

Not to mention of course that Non-Ferrous and Petrochemical are not nouns like the others, and are thus grammatically inconsistent in this list of things the company "works in".

The best one last week was on a silver builder's van -

ALL BUILDING WORK UNDERTAKING

Double glazing companies are so often the culprits, and I've previously reported on things like:

SOFITS instead of SOFFITS
FACIAS instead of FASCIAS
GUTERING instead of GUTTERING

And there's the classic - NO JOB TO SMALL

2.6.19 Britain's Got Talent Winner

What a nice bloke.  I think that he has sung his three songs rather well in the last few weeks, and he does have a good voice for someone who is 89 years old.

BUT ...........

No way is he in possession of anything resembling 'talent', which I believed was the point of the show, and the purpose of all the auditions.  Unfortunately an old chap in a red uniform warbling is NOT someone who should be winning a talent contest.

If the aim was to pick a nice, safe, likeable chap to send to the Royal Variety Performance, then no one could better fit the bill.  Colin, tonight's winner, is undoubtedly a decent man with some passion and humility.  But how does this fit with the search for talent? 

I fear next year's search will be full of more nauseating dance troops, many school kids trying to emulate the Flakefeet kids, and far too many pets.  All pointless, though, because the winner will be someone that won't have much by way of talent.

2.6.19 Simply Be & JD Williams

The relentless adverts for Simply Be and JD Williams are missing the final word - "Fat".  I have deduced this after watching very large women wriggling and wiggling on screen, wearing clothes that allegedly make them look beautiful.  I am not disputing that these might be beautiful people, but their bodies are hardly so referred to.

"I'm an independent woman" is the main line that belts out of the TV as these big women try to convince other woman that they should but these garish garments from JD Williams.  I had never realised that independent is a synonym of fat.

I have no axe to grind here regarding the sale of clothing or the styles selected by/for women whose size is 20+, but I reject the notion that their wobbling on screen in this attire is attractive or worthwhile.  I feel I am being challenged not to discriminate, and to bow to this attempt to promote obesity as fine.  This is the same sort of approach as the "body positive" tag that is the alternative way of fat people determining that it's okay to beckon diabetes and a mobility scooter.

2.6.19 Mitchum Deodorant Issues

Watching television in the UK, I expect the cunts advertising their shit to be able to use the English language.  Unfortunately this product is a complete failure, and I will not be contributing to the Revlon Corporation's sales.

Triple Odor Defense

The three-word product has two words that are misspelled ! 

I appreciate that in the USA, viewers of adverts will accept this spelling, and not bat an eyelid.  But if UK television is to accept advertisers' pitches, I demand that they respect the language and stop this essential dumbing down, and morphing of the world into a swamp of mediocrity and poor standards.
