Living Up to Sterotypes ()

Inside every fat person... is a Twix.

Stereotypes keep life predictable.

I know without even looking that when I'm stuck in a long queue of traffic, that car whizzing down the empty outside lane with its indicator on, trying to push into my lane, will either be a BMW or a 1999 Vauxhall Astra in silver driven by a twenty-something bloke in a beanie hat.

RIP Jade Goody ()

Now she can park in the disabled parking bays in heaven...

This morning Jade Goody has died after what the BBC are calling "a high profile battle with cancer".

Well I'm sorry, I know you shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but I didn't like her. I haven't liked her at any point of knowing of her, so why should anything change now? My integrity is something I am proud of and here I am sticking to my guns.

Jade Goody - R.I.P. ()

Jade 1982- 2009

Poor Jade Goody, only 27 years old and terminally ill. It is tragic, and it's even more tragic that she's got a couple of kids. She's all over the TV, newspapers and magazines trying to make as much cash as she possibly can to help them get the best start in life when she, inevitably passes away.

The reason I'm writing this blog is that I've never seen anything like this before. I don't mean that I've never seen someone struck down by the awful disease that is cancer, I mean I've never seen the media so obsessed over a 'celebrity' with a terminal illness.

On the Brighter Side of the Credit Crunch ()

Economic downturn could spawn Star Trekkian era

Always one to look on the bright side of life *whistles*, I have tried to find the brighter side of this economic downturn that we all find ourselves in.

More specifically, lately I have been trying to find out why we might be experiencing this right now. Everything has a purpose, I find, and things always turn out for the best.

Facebook, Cameras & Taxi Journeys ()

The better side of taxi'ing

Well last night was fun. My second from last job was the main reason for it being a half decent shift. The reason being that for the half an hour trip home from Newcastle to Consett my bus descended into the realms of a Girls Gone Wild Photo Shoot. Taking it in turns to photograph each other both my superbly attractive passengers spent the trip taking, and then reviewing each photo in great detail, and with quite fun commentary.

Besides an issue of a cheap camera, overly bright flash and lack of tan it seemed to produce some good results, and I even managed to do a reasonable job of keeping my eye on the road. This spurred a conversation about the rights to the photos possibly belonging to the taxi drive A.K.A me as I provided the venue. This sadly wasn’t the case, but it was indicated they would end up on Facebook.

Laws of Physics No Longer Apply ()

Man wins serious argument with woman. Alchemy blamed.

Tonight, I was having a discussion with one of the guys at my Taekwondo club and a most startling revelation was... umm... revealed.

The chap is a loyal LJ reader (hi Steve!) so to protect his identity, I will call him Mr X. Mr X admitted to achieving something that us mere mortal men can only dream of; in fact it begs the question: just how bound are we to the "laws" of Physics?

To a beloved Grandmother ()

Jean, 1930 - 2008

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.

Happy Birthday Ian! ()

Loyal ally in the battle against boredom

Ian doesn't get mentioned enough on LJ. In a positive way I mean.

But if you trawl through the history of blogs he is mentioned quite a alot as being a fellow combatant with the enviable task of having a bloody good laugh.

A Quick Joke ()

Scarily, this was forwarded to me from my mum...

A man asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an unusually attractive woman sitting alone at a table in a cozy little restaurant. The waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, "This is from the gentleman who is seated over there." He indicated the sender with a nod of his head.

She stared at the wine cooly for a few seconds, not looking at the man, she decided to send a reply to him by note. The waiter, who was lingering nearby for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman.
