The UK General Election

As a British citizen (a proper one, not an immigrant with a British passport), I suppose I’m going to have to state my views on the General Election. So here goes:

Gordon Brown (right, pink tie): Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and he’s already proven that he can’t do that job properly. So why would I want to vote for him? It’d be like the Americans electing George W. Bush twice. Do we really want a paunchy, cantankerous half-unperceiving Scot running our country?

David Cameron (middle, blue tie): What a bone-idle cretin. He airbrushes his posters more than Hello! magazine airbrushes Paris Hilton and merely reverses everything Gordon Brown says or does. Plus, he has a face like a smacked arse you can’t trust anyone who’s middle name is Donald.

Nick Clegg (left, yellow… gold… what is that?… tie): I am incredibly bemused that people think this slimy two-faced salesman could run a bus let alone a country. He refuses to meet with Foreign Leaders, abstains from political polls, is practically invisible within Parliament and never seems to shut up about being from Sheffield.

As you have probably already guessed, I will not be voting in the General Election. Why? Because it won’t make any difference if I did. My opinion, and noone else’s, matters to these people. They’ll no doubt rig the vote and none of the candidates will follow through with their policies anyway.
To be quite honest with you, I’m finding that story about the Wii Balance Board turning a woman into a sex addict more interesting.

The UK has become a blanket of snow

It’s finally happened, the UK has got some snow. And I mean proper snow. So much that the news claims that it’s the most snow the UK has had in 30 years. Hundreds of schools and work places across the country have been closed and it is complete chaos on the roads. But y’know what? I’m loving it! ;) Yes, I may have just turned 18. But I still love snow, there’s nothing wrong with that.

One headline on the news yesterday made me chuckle – “Luton airport flights diverted to France”. Now I’m not sure if that means that flights coming into Luton airport have had to land in France, but if they have… *bursts into tears of laughter* Is there a more depressing sentence?

Do you like monkeys? Who doesn’t!

America has made the world fat

America is the fattest country in the world, followed by Mexico, the United Kingdom, Slovakia, Greece and many others. It’s all America’s fault with them introducing the “Drive-Thru” (Look at that, they can’t even spell it correctly!). Whatever happened to the good ol’ fashioned night out? Where you go to a nice restaurant or pub with a couple of friends, sit down, have a chat, eat a meal and enjoy yourself. It wasn’t really a “night out” as such, it was an event.

But now, thanks to America, all we do now is slob in our cars and order food from a metal box. How depressing have our lives become? All those American TV shows where people drive up and shout “BURGER!” into the box and get bombarded with Big Macs before being asked at the paypoint, *exaggerated American accent* “Dya waaant Friiieees with theeaaat?”, have poisoned our minds. It makes me physically sick.

I must be one of very few Brits left that actually enjoys a decent pub lunch and still eats in restaurants. Whereas everyone else hasn’t even seen a restaurant and most of them think pubs are just for getting pissed in. I envy this country, I really do. God only knows what it’s going to be like in the near future. Statistics show that roughly 1 in 3 people in the UK will be obese by 2012. Well I can assure you, I’ll be one of those 2 other people.

PS. Any comments disagreeing with any of this will either be edited or deleted. Now I know that that may be infringing your human rights. But to be quite honest, I couldn’t give a flying fuck. ;)

December 1st

It’s here – December. That means Christmas, and that means snow. Right? Not for the UK it doesn’t. Isn’t it ironic that the planet is apparently heating up due to Global Warming, but the UK gets even colder and still doesn’t get any snow? As if we thought it couldn’t get any colder…

Maybe I should go to Canada for Christmas, they’re supposed to be having tons of snow and -40°C temperatures.

PS. On a side-note, the comment from “Horror-101.com” about my review of Paranormal Activity was reported as spam. That sort of thing ain’t welcome here, mate. ;)

“There’s Probably No God”

Don’t worry, I’m not gonna get into a huge rant about how God doesn’t exist. You all just need to accept that fact for yourselves.
Anyway, a campaign led by atheists in London are displaying this ad on the side buses:

There's Probably No God

It’s unclear as to what these ads will achieve. Perhaps they’ll make a man think twice before blowing themselves up on the top deck.

Personally I think this ad should have been put on bendy buses, because those do move in mysterious ways…
