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).  Read more...

Another little news review

Quick edit… no apologies for length, but this chunky monkey of a post gets slightly political. Don’t worry, I’ll try to do a more typical discussion later.

Well, it’s a slow Saturday- the day that God decreed that men without kids should loaf around the house all day, reading the paper and drinking tea. For the record, all went well with that rule, until the Devil invented Ikea and shopping, thus damning such men to a life of infernal torment as penetance for having girlfriends.  Read more...

Righty ho… well as I’m having a relatively good day, and so far I have not seen Derek Acorah or Jade Goodey on TV, there is no specific thing I fancy writing about. However, I do fancy adding something to this little blog, in the vain hope of amusing and entertaining you dear readers.

And so, I thought I would give a little look at what’s in the papers. It will give our non-UK cousins a chance to get a flavour of the Nation that spawned an empire. In light of this grand aspiration, it is only proper that I use the finest daily publication as my source of news. I speak of course of The Sun:  Read more...

The British Cult of Celebrity

Good evening ladies and gentleman

Firstly, I will offer a caution and sincere apologies for my current attitude. I am on a major buzz as i have been read by people other than Techno Scouse (Monkeh to some). I have to be honest, and admit I had my doubts that anyone would read this, let alone enjoy it.

Anyway, today’s rant is brought to you by the vacuous chunks of crap that appear to float on the top of the pool of society. I speak of course of the Celebrity culture, documented by the high-class journalism of Heat magazine.  Read more... (1314 words, 2 images, estimated 5:15 mins reading time)
