They own Iraq now?!

Just a short sharp (short because I'm soon to be deposed from the computater but thats another story) political Rant today as I haven't posted for a week or two. This Particular little moan has been inspired by a programme I've been watching called "What would Jesus Drive" The programme focuses on America's love of cars, Especially huge Fuel guzzling cars like the "Hummer". There were a number of things said in this Programme that caused Irritation.
"The Hummer is huge its warm its comfy its everything a woman could want" Do I sense a little bit of a sexual connotation to that quote. For heavens sake that is a poor reason to buy a car that is quite frankly a fat american in car form as its huge and it consumes like hell and squashes all before it. Get a life lady!

"For gods sake Bush we own Iraq now why not make petrol 10 cents a gallon" Now hang on here. This is sickening for 2 reasons. 1 why the hell do we want to encourage more of these bloody things on the roads! If these twats think they are being hard done by with their petrol prices they should do one of two things. 1 come to Europe and 2 BUY A FUCKING FUEL ECONOMIC CAR!. The second reason this irritates me is that it shows there is an American feeling that they own Iraq. Its not right to think they can just stroll around the world and do this especially over something as futile as petrol.

And thats that I guess I've made my feelings know etc etc either way I'm satisfied. I've got an English Exam tommorow which will be a tad irritating although I will get the morning off. Heres hoping I suppose.

Daves thought of the Day: It is better to have a job that is motivational and stimulating rather that doing something horrible just for the money.

Don't drink and drive or you WILL be branded with a hot iron!

Apologies for the lack of witty title but I really couldn’t think of one at this point in time. I want to just make a few comments about some of the draconian government initiatives which sometimes are tantamount of fascism. I’ll start with a particularly annoying advert for drinking and driving. First of all let me just say I do not in any way condone drinking and driving, I think it’s a stupid and dangerous thing to do and I think the law should be firm on it. However what I don’t agree with in this case is the way that government adverts try to imply you will be socially outcasted and ruined financially if you do it. What’s a stronger message than saying you will die? That’s the point they should probably put across to people rather than implying that you will get caught and be marked for life. The content of this advert is as follows: The TV ad focuses on Matt, a young man out for a couple of quick drinks with some friends, as he's deciding whether or not to have a second pint

The shifting sands of British voters

We live in interesting times to quote a very dully repeated cliche. The problem with interesting times is old assumptions go out the window. The British voter is not a monolith. People vote based on circumstances as much as they vote the way their parents did. Assuming everything will stay the same is a fool's errand. The local elections are proof if it were ever needed that the Conservative movement has wedged itself between a rock and a hard place and it is at risk of being pulled apart in a Labour Lib Dem and Green feeding frenzy at the next election. The signs bode badly for Rishi Sunak who after inheriting a wounded, yet still well-placed Conservative party with a good majority in the House of Commons has seen the economic outlook go gloomy. Let’s be clear. We’re a long way away from the Boris bounce and the ‘stonking’ majority election victory of 2019. The party now finds itself pulled between its past and present with no one looking to the future seemingly. The past being i

The Brave and the Bald

Image
Fans expressed shock when 33-year-old Sebastian Vettel revealed his new “aerodynamic” hairstyle on his first day at Aston Martin. Yet, the history of Formula One features plenty of follically challenged participants. Male pattern baldness has been with us for millennia and it would appear from his first snaps in his new Aston Martin colours that Sebastian Vettel is the latest victim.  Whilst many will joke that this is a result of his 5 disappointing years at Ferrari or from too many hours wearing a crash helmet, this is a very common thing to see from a man his age. Not only that, but it’s good to see that he’s dealing with it on his own terms, rather than trying to hide it with increasingly fiendish comb-over tricks.  Nevertheless, F1’s newest hair-challenged hero is in good company. Some of the greatest and best-loved drivers in the history of the sport also experienced similar challenges.  Stirling Moss Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_Moss It’s hard to imagine t
