Posted on Thursday, November 30, 2006 in News, World Affairs, World View

“America, Fuck Yeah! Gonna save the motherfucking world, yeah!”

And they wonder why every Iraqi and his dog are trying to blow U.S. soldiers up?

Michael Moore Letter…

Posted on Sunday, November 26, 2006 in News, World Affairs, World View

Whether you agree with him or not, Michael Moore has a great way of making his point.

And I think he’s probably right…

Good Guy Billionaires?

Bill Gates & Warren Buffett

I just read THIS STORY on BBC News and it made me realise that there are still some people on this planet who want to use their vast wealth for good, as opposed to bad.

The Google vs China thing.

Posted on Friday, February 10, 2006 in News, World Affairs, World View

If you’ve not already heard about Google censoring it’s search results on it’s Chinese site at the demand of the Chinese Government, then read about the story here and get more info here, although if you’re in China those links are probably blocked.

If you already know about this, or have just read up on it, you can see the results in their full horror below; an example of how the Chinese Government wants to re-write history:

Now click here to search Tiananmen at Google China

Pretty shocking, isn’t it?

I’ve not blogged much recently. I’ve been pretty busy with work and play and I guess not having the time to blog because I’m busy doing other stuff is good, right?

Last week I went to London for a record company meeting, which meant a 10 hour round trip for a 2 hour meeting. Gotta love public transport! The meeting was successful and lots was discussed, I also gained some inside Foo Fighters knowledge randomly, which was also good! I’m going back down tomorrow for a meeting and for Imogen’s gig at The Scala, which I’m really looking forward to – I have fond memories of the two Dum Dums shows at The Scala, and I don’t think I’ve been back there since the Dum Dums played there in 2000, so I look forward to returning! Turns out Steve is working for Immi at the show, so he’ll be there too which is cool. Looks like we’ll be driving back late tomorrow night, so we might miss the aftershow party, but such is life!

I spent most of the weekend on Steph’s sofa, both awake and asleep. We ate good food (she’s a proper little master-chef-ette), watched a total of…6 films in 48 hours (although Steph slept through a couple of them!)…we watched A Mighty Wind, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Empire Records, Team Amercia, Jack Dee Live and Dogma…and generally hung out while being entertained by the whirlwind of energy that is Jordan. I cried my eyes out with laughter at some of his antics, especially his dance routine to ‘Big Butts’ by Sir Mixalot – it was possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen! All this while I tried not to die from the bastard cold of got.

I watched Batman Begins again last night – such a great film….I think it’s my favourite Batman film, although I now plan to re-watch them all.

It seems that the world has gone a bit crazy this week, all kinds of mad stuff going on – I sometimes wonder why people can’t just chill the fuck out and not lose the plot the instance someone says or does something they don’t like? Everyone should be more laid back, like me. Or maybe not quite as laid back a me…but more laid back than they are. Just let people do their own thing and stop trying to force your opinions or beliefs on them, and general get on with each other better.

And if Sky try and show me one more advert for season five of 24 there’s going to be big trouble! I had to cover my ears, shut my eyes and scream ‘lalalalala’ the other day so I couldn’t see/hear the advert. The cat was NOT impressed by this.

I seem to have been abusing my moblog in the last week too, no posts for 6 days. I did lose a couple of days due to illness so I guess it’s ok. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some good moblogging opportunities.

Oh and finally – I see the British music buying public are as fucking stupid as the Ordinary Boys think they are. The band/label re-release a shit song because Preston went on Celebrity Big Brother, and all those dumb fucks who watch BB and read The Sun go and lap it up, putting the song in the top 5 on the chart. Whatever England, Whatever! At least Kerrang radio are taking the piss out of this re-release.

End of transmission.
