Can I Live Without Facebook?

By

Facebook blocked me from posting for 24 hours for the below offensive picture. I am not lying. I demanded an instant revocation and full apology for this ridiculous action but of course, Facebook being the soulless creation that it is, proffered absolutely no response. So it got me thinking.  Can I live without Facebook? Honestly, I do like the attention that my attempted humour gets on Facebook.  But people don’t check it so much nowadays so there is not as much reaction as there used to be.  And there are other social networks if I want a bit of attention. … Continued

Operation Don’tbeaf******miserable****

By

Yesterday I was a miserable bastard. I don’t being a miserable bastard. So I initiated Operation Don’tbeafuckingmiserablecunt. First up was a shopping spree:   Then a quiet beer: Then I treat my tastebuds to some absolute beauty: Then I wrote to Happy Socks to tell them that I wasn’t happy:   Am I any less miserable?  A bit.  But then I realised…whoa!   Finally, I promised you some tits.  As I am still not totally un-miserable, I enclose just one nipple: Oh, you were expecting a sexy lady, weren’t you?   ps It isn’t me.  I’m not that fat. But … Continued

James vs Happiness Nazis

By

Happiness Nazis.  I am sure that you know one or two.  As soon as you dare consider dribbling out a tiny bit of dissatisfaction about your life, they are onto you telling you what percentage of the world’s population do not have clean drinking water. Wonderful.  So now I have a guilt trip on top of being miserable. The thing is though.  I want to be a Happiness Nazi.  Or at least share the Happiness Nazi’s constant joy of life.  The guarantee that every day will be a happy, sunshine-filled day of smiles and joy. How do they do it? … Continued

My First Ever Funeral

By

I went to my first funeral on Monday. I feel lucky in very many ways with my life, I’ve not really had to suffer grief or hardship – although my school years were miserable, violent and hellish, they do pale into insignificance I feel compared to many throughout the world.  And nowadays my life is pretty much full of glitter and gravy. It was a semi-close relative that passed away.  Not a blood relative and he had been ill for a while so it wasn’t unexpected. I don’t like going into details about other’s lives on my blog, given that … Continued

I Always Believed…A Conservative Majority

By

Well, well, well.  A Conservative majority. Apparently a shock to everyone.  But not myself. I have to admit there were moments that I was concerned disaster could strike.  Or perhaps we would fall short of having enough even with the Lib Dems. I did place a bet on a Conservative majority at 11-1 – I always knew it wasn’t the most likely outcome, but I really did believe that we could get that majority and those odds seemed crazy.  Perhaps I was deluded, but I really thought that we could pull it out of the bag – 1992 style. It … Continued

Who I Am Voting For In 2015 And Why

By

It probably won’t take a rub of your mystic ball to work out who I am going to vote for today. It certainly is not the party of deficit, the party of reckless spending, the anti-business party, the party of the Iraq war.  It isn’t the one who promised Education, Education, Education and failed the young, with exceptionally high numbers of NEETs, and now wants to reduce tuition fees to subsidise the rich. It isn’t the party that positively encouraged the reckless boom which led to the greatest recession for 80 years, and the subsequent crunch in living standards for … Continued

Coalition Government – My Review

By

Initially I was disappointed after the previous general election, for the Conservative Party not to have won an outright majority.  Disappointed, angry and worried that somehow Gordon Brown might sneak his way back in.  I was also confused, tired and pretty damn wasted. Once I had slept and dulled the discombobulated pain of a victory-defeat with large amounts of tranquilizer, I realised that maybe a coalition with the Liberal Democrats wouldn’t be so bad.  As long as we were in charge of the economy, things would work out well.  And after all, I have always been a bit of a … Continued

Reading vs Bracknell vs London

By

Tower Bridge London night

During March’s monthly no computer night, and I actually ended up laying down and allowing myself time to do nothing but think, which is quite unusual for me. The two important items on my thought-agenda recently have been what next step to take in my career, and where to live next. Firstly I would like to progress my career.  At some point I want to be doing web development, but I would have to start way down the pecking order on a lower wage.  I am not yet developed enough to be doing this.  I am happy in my current … Continued

Those That Are Too Bloody Lazy To Vote…

By

Lazy Toad (1), 14 Ashton Hill Lane, Droylsden

This is not a party political broadcast. And I will get stuck straight in.  I think it is absolutely disgusting that some people cannot be fucked to vote. Today is the last day to register to vote.  Clearly I would rather everyone vote Tory, but it is more important that people are involved. It takes just 5 minutes to register. Compared to the sacrifices that those who lived before us have made, it is ever so simple. You can start from the English Civil War.  When the King ruled the land but the landowners wanted a say in how the … Continued

What I Discovered In Hull Recently

By

You can get crab in Hull I do not like crab. Trip Advisor has very limited suggestions for Hull.  And for East Yorkshire.  Which leads me to conclude that there either isn’t much to do, or nobody uses the internet there. I often got a 2G network.  And very occasionally, 3G. Footgolf is a thing.  Not only did I beat my sister, which is fairly imperative to manly pride, but also I got a hole in one.  I am the man. There are no beards in Hull. However there are plenty of cool bars in Hull now, especially in some … Continued
