Galaxy FM – Not brilliant, I have to say

For some reason I ended up listening to the new National Galaxy FM today. In the morning they have a breakfast show for each region, so I was listening to the Birmingham one. At 7AM they were asking their listeners to “like” a particular Facebook page as they “only had” 79 people. After 30 minutes of talking about it constantly… Read more →

Moral decay – It’s not just the rioters

Yes, it is terrible that certain sections of society believe that they have a “right” to get something for nothing, but we all have very short memories. Whilst we may agree with the MP’s to some degree when they call rioters “thieves” and “morally corrupt”, we’ve perhaps forgotten that MP’s stole from the public purse on a huge scale just… Read more →

UK Riots

There seems to be no real reason for these riots. When thugs are interviewed there’s usually some rambling about how “teenagers are being suppressed” or that “we have nothing to do, the Police don’t respect us”. No, I think you’ll find you don’t respect the Police… or other people, property etc. This report from The Globe and Mail tries to… Read more →

The Sun On Sunday – It’s coming..

The phone hacking scandal was terrible. People will be asking questions about News International knew about about. The truth, I assume, is that they knew everything about it, but peopl want dirt. People want sensation. People want to know what’s going on inside other peoples’ lives. A headline will sell a paper. People are nosey. Look at Facebook. Do you… Read more →

A polite notice to tracksuit wearers

You wear a tracksuit for physical activity. They’re available from places like JJ Sports, so the clue is in the name. Wearing a gold / cream tracksuit in the middle of town, with a cap on, hood up, eating chips, shouting, “Oi, Dazzo, don’t forget that fiver yow owe me ya twat” and spitting on the floor – well, that’s… Read more →

BT forced to block access to Newzbin 2

A judge at the High Court has just ruled that BT must block access to Newzbin 2. This is yet another important stage in the dismantling of the internet we’ve used over the last few years. ISP’s have, generally, always allowed their customers to do whatever they please on the internet, but now it’s starting to come apart more and… Read more →
