Susan Boyle is bloody gorgeous!

I don’t know why so many people think Susan Boyle isn’t pleasing on the eye, to be polite. I think she’s a gorgeous woman. She has awesome come-to-bed eyes, a lovely mouth and a beautiful face. And she looks like she’d be great to cuddle!

I got her debut CD the other day and I can barely leave the house for listening to it. She has the most amazing voice I’ve ever heard. It’s by far the best album I’ve heard for a long time.

And I would like to ask people who are used to downloading illegal music to buy her album legally and give her your support. I’m going to buy a download copy for myself and give mine to Mum for her Xmas. Susan deserves to be paid for her work and for the complete and utter upheaval she has gone through in order to bring this wonderful voice into our lives and I really do hope as many people as possible will pay her her due. She’s going to need the money to buy herself a new house with security to keep her blimmin insane fans away!

 

 

Why do men sit with their legs stretched as far apart as possible…

…showing off their privates like baboons do with their big red swollen arses?

It’s so unattractive. And it takes up twice the space a woman takes up. There’s a guy on TV doing it just now and I want to hit the target he’s displaying with a baseball bat.

ITV Daytime Sponsored By Confused Dot Com

ITV Daytime Sponsored By Confused Dot Com’s current advert is is, and I find this hard to believe, even more annoying than their previous one. It features a group of chronically happy and shiny people wiggling their thumbs while saying:

“yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”

until they run out of breath or ad time, whichever comes first.

I would love to spend 5 minutes with the person who thought this up. Then I would force them to sit and listen to it for an entire day.

Ahhh, the stupids haven’t disappointed…

They’re blaming the organisers for the fact that THEY broke down barriers, trampled people and ran to try and get to the front to see  – JLS, FFS!

It doesn’t matter how many police and barriers there had been, if you are STUPID and determined enough to barge through them just so you can get closer to a stage, then you will cause chaos.

But never mind! You can always just BLAME EVERYONE BUT YOUR STUPID SELVES!

More Stupidity

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/8360560.stm

About sixty people have been injured during a crowd surge at Birmingham’s Christmas lights switch-on.

More than 20,000 people turned out for the event at Millennium Point, which had been due to feature acts including JLS and the Sugababes.

A city council spokesperson said more people than expected had turned out and they had feared for crowd safety.

Reports suggested up to 27,000 people were at the site by the time band JLS finished performing at 1330 GMT.

The council said a combination of fears over the number of people and bad weather led them to cancel the event.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said four people were taken to hospital and a further 56 patients were assessed by ambulance crews in a make-shift triage area.

‘Absolute chaos’

A spokeswoman said a woman in her 30s suffered serious crush injuries to her pelvis, shoulder and leg.

A second woman suffered a broken ankle, a teenage boy had a broken wrist and a teenage girl suffered crush injuries to her back and legs.

Martin Krol, who lives in a flat overlooking Millennium Point, said he saw people pushing at a fence at the front of the crowd.

He said: “Police had already stopped people from going through into the main bit because there were so many of them, so an extra line of people had been created at the back of the main crowd.

“The police were totally outnumbered – there were far too many people in the crowd for them to be able to cope.

“It was absolute chaos – the ambulances couldn’t get through – and it took quite a while for them to be able to clear the area because there were so many people.

 

Sigh. How many times do I have to say it. Some. People. Are Stupid.Beyond.Belief

Channel 5 News UK Uses Disfigured Newsreader

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8360092.stm

“A charity chief with a facial disfigurement will read the news on Channel Five for a week in an attempt to try to break down prejudice.

James Partridge, who is chief executive of Changing Faces, suffered severe burns in a car accident aged 18.

He will front the Five News lunchtime bulletin for a week from Monday.

A YouGov survey for the station found 44% of respondents thought it would be a good idea for people with facial disfigurement to present TV shows.

Some 64% of those surveyed said seeing disfigurement on screen would not cause them to change channel, but one fifth said they would feel uncomfortable seeing a disfigured presenter.”

Good news, no pun intended.

 

Stranger Mother and son duo…

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8357870.stm

The wee boy in this video is writing on his Mum’s sofa with a pen while she’s busy talking to the TV reporter. And there is something seriously amiss with her eyebrows.

God love them but….this made me laugh.

So, so sad, but I would have done the same.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8349132.stm

“Police are to examine social networking sites on the internet as part of investigations into the murder of a mother-of-nine from Cornwall.

Mary Fox, 59, died in a fire after a firework was put through the front door of her home on Wallace Road, Bodmin.

Her 17-year-old son escaped after jumping from the first floor after she helped him to a window.

Thirty firefighters were called out to tackle the blaze at the three-storey building in Wallace Road, Bodmin, on Thursday night.

Ms Fox, whose family have described her as a “loving and caring” self-sacrificing woman, is believed to have gone back to rescue her cat after helping her son escape.“

I believe it’s a very noble thing to value a trapped animal’s life so much that you are willing to risk your own to save it. If going back into a burning building to save a human life is heroic, why is it not also heroic to try and save the life of an animal?

The value of human life is hugely over-estimated. It was humans, after all, who maliciously started the fire.

Jan Moir – Bigot Of The Year

http://londonersdiary.standard.co.uk/2009/11/traitors-gate-beckons-for-jan-moir.html

“ACERBIC Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir has been recognised for her weekly effusions with a last minute nomination in the Bigot of the Year category at tomorrow’s Stonewall awards ceremony.

The gay rights charity has even invited Moir to the event but is unsure whether she will attend.

In her column the day before Stephen Gately’s funeral, Moir said there were unanswered questions about his death which had occurred in “sleazy” circumstances. She wrote the death “strikes another blow to the happy-ever-after myth of civil partnerships.”

Moir was forced publicly to apologise to Stephen Gately’s family and friends for the timing of a column last month about the death of the Boyzone singer, which prompted a record 25,000 complaints to the press watchdog, but also defended it, saying she did not hold “poisonous” homophobic views.

Guests at the Stonewall bash include Gok Wan, Mary Portas, Sue Perkins, Russell Tovey, John Bercow and Ben Bradshaw.

Moir might be wise to give the event a wide berth.”

Well-deserved this is and it couldn’t have gone to a nicer person.

Please note that she did, indeed, ONLY apologise for the timing of her article, not its contents, so it actually was a very crafty and disingenuous “apology”, probably very carefully conceived by her and her editor. Such is the calibre of these people.
