Dear readers,

Firstly, allow me to make yet another apology for the huge gap since my last post. Yes, I know I’ve actually missed an entire horoscope. I hope each of you did the only sensible thing possible in the circumstance and didn’t leave your house in case destiny was planning to violently offend you the second you stepped through your door.

It was the only option.

Anyway, I have been very busy, very stressed, and much as I enjoy writing for you dear people it would possibly have killed me.

So what is it that has stirred my mind and dragged me away from the unending tide of shite that fills my desk/bag/brain on a daily basis? Well it’s an old thing that I used to explain to people over and over on MSN messageboards when I could be bothered to irritate and undermine the other opinionated tosspots who bothered with those sites.

Imagine the scenario: You’re a dejected TV executive desperate to come up with an idea for a new series. You work for E! Entertainment Network, so no-one’s really looking for War & Peace, but the pressure is still on. You sit down in front of the box to try and find inspiration, perhaps partake in a drink or other substance to get the creative juices flowing. Unfortunately, you over-do it and awake the next day with no idea where the last 8 hours went, and simply grab the stacks of papers that have materialised overnight.

You make it to the office and find that a bad day is getting worse- your meeting has been brought forward, and you go straight in to make a non-existant pitch. With the confident facade beginning to crack, you attempt to marshall your thoughts and hope for the best as you arrange your papers. You can detect at least 3 different bodily fluids on the page, but are more concerned by the fact you’ve either gone blind, or you’ve got a sheet of illegible scrawl. All you can make out are the lines:


Here is the news… of sorts

Still buzzing with rediscovered for the art of blogging, I thought I would go to the tried and tested review of today’s papers. I then had a scout around, and thought it far better to review just one paper’s output for the day. I may even make this a regular thing, rotating between the finest publications of du jour (as they probably miss-spell in France).

This week, I am proud to be reviewing the Mail on Sunday. By way of introduction, its probably fair to say that the Mail tends to have a pro-Conservative/anti-Labour flavour… all with fervent support of what makes Britain Great (and loathing for anything that could in any way undermine it).


Emotional support, and considered counselling… redneck style!

I think I should take the opportunity to wax lyrical about a real gem in TV. I know that it’s not a new programme, and that it polarises opinion, but the Jerry Springer Show is truly brilliant.

There are many shows that enable members of the public to share their deep personal and relationship problems with the baying lynch mobs who form talk show audiences, and who wouldn’t want to be told that their boyfriend/girlfriend was having an affair in front of potentially millions of people sat at home? Only Springer manages to avoid taking itself too seriously, and manages this by a LONG way!

OK, confession time. Last night Techno Scouse caught me watching something i shouldn’t have been on TV. It involved a group of hot teens, and plenty of big naked boobs. Obviously I know these programmes are on TV most nights, but they’re always trashy pieces of crap that fill schedules. I guess I just had a moment of weakness and got found out. She’s forgiven me, but I still feel a real sense of shame and embarassment.

I am of course talking about Can Fat Teens Hunt, and the naked boobs I refeered to belonged to the chronically tubby lads taking part in the “weight loss” programme. That’s not to say that there weren’t teen girls on there as well, but given that they were so fat that they actually seemed to have a spare set of breasts hanging down their backs. Very fetching, ladies!
