Have great 2009

Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand – Something over nothing!!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Have you heard about Mr Ross and Mr Brand and their prank phone call to Andrew Sachs? What the hell has this got to do with the prime minister and parliament? those arty farty prats can hardly string together a coherent sentence never mind condemn two of the funniest blokes around today. Fair enough, it may have a been a tad out of order and juvenile but they have apologised for godsake!!! Move On! Get Over It!! Stop making such a fuss over nothing you bunch of birks.

Hmmm, 10,000 complaints? – yeah right, did you see the handful of people on the news who were interviewed following these alleged complaints? Yep you guessed it, all old age pensioners – what a surprise, NOT!! These geriatrics have nothing better to do than find something to complain about to fill up their dull and boring lifes – “Mr Ross has been a very naughty boy and should be sacked” — yes yes very quaint you old dear, now go take your tablets and find something else to occupy your dementia!! I’d actually be surprised if anyone under 60 years old complained or even raised an eyebrow at this so-called situation.

All I can say is that Mr Ross & Mr Brand will be laughing all the way to the bank with the extra publicity and media attention – what do I say? Good luck to both of them because they have not done anything wrong – you people need to get a grip on reality and start dealing with real issues instead of making mountains out of ant hills. Get a life, move on and let it go – you’ll feel much better and be doing the rest of us a favour when we no longer have to listen to your pathetic nonsense!!

Xfactor – Saturday 11th October

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

O dear – not up to much this year. As far as I see it there are only 2 contenders with a realistic chance of winning and they are Laura White and Rachael Hylton. I think Alexandra Burke has an outside chance but she needs to fully pronounce the words when singing, so with some improvement she could stop Hylton and White from running away with it. Ruth Lorenzo sounds like she can sing but she needs to realise this is an English competition so by singing in Spanish she is not doing herself any favours. Please, Ruth, sing using English words and lets see how good you really are. The rest are just pub singers at best. I think the 16 year old Eoghan has got potential but will probably need to wait a couple of years before his time comes – possibly one to look out for in the future.

Where do they find the audience from for this show too? They have got to be the biggest bunch of brain dead morons on the planet. A judge says something positive and they cheer! A judge says something negative and they boo and hiss! These people are worse than sheep. They have no affinity to any particular judge or contestant. These people are diabolical at best and mentally challenged at worst. Stop spoiling the show with your impromptu jeers and cheers and actually let the judges speak and that way you may learn what intelligent conversation is like for the rest of us. If the Xfactor is going to survive they need to either get rid of the brain dead audience or only allow people in that can actually form an opinion and preferably have more than one brain cell!!

Ok, on to my prediction. I have to go for Rachael Hylton. Forget about her background, this girl can sing, is confident and emotive in her performance and looks to have the edge (only just) over Laura White. However, the surprise “dark horse” called be Ruth Lorenzo but I am backing Rachael all the way.

Maun Valley Pumping Station

Me and my brother went to visit this small site. It was a nice day and got chance to play around with some of the settings on my Nikon D40X Digital SLR camera. I was mainly setting the F-Spot, ISO and shutter speed and consequently the photos do vary in quality, look and feel, especially the sky photos.

We also got some nice close-up shots of spiders, flowers, gnats and even horses…

Anyway, please visit the Photos section or click here to go directly to the Gallery.

Xfactor Farce?!

Rhydian was robbed, simple as that. I am wondering if a bit of phone fixing may have swung the result because lets face it, Leon at best is only a pub singer and never deserved to get as far as he did.

Whereas Rhydian on the other hand was consistently star quality week in week out and will be a big star long after Leon has dive bombed into obscurity.

Back to it then!

Not done much updating lately. Recently had 2 weeks off work, went to Cornwall (just outside Looe) for the week and hope to have some photos up soon. I guess I should get my lazy ass back into gear now I’ve had a long enough “rest”…

Sponsored Wordpress Themes

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I don’t know about you but I personally think that sponsored wordpress themes goes against the whole ethos of the community? I must admit that I totally agree with this quote from Matt Mullenweg: “Our design and theme community thrived before themes with embedded ads came along, and it will continue to thrive long after their gone. Embedding ads in themes is disrespectful to users, and creates confusion and uncertainty about which themes people can trust.”

I am still quite new to Wordpress and blogging in general but I think if you are going to create some themes then why not just share them in the proud knowledge that your work could be used on many many blogs? Your details will be embedded in the source so it is not like you are not getting credit for your work.

If you feel strongly about sponsored wordpress themes whether for or against, or are just curious what the fuss is all about then just point your browser to this excellent article: Putting the kibosh on Sponsored Wordpress themes
