or does every winner of a huge lottery jackpot appear to be an arsehole? Take the latest one, I will only help my family, it said as it pocketed £109 million, well actually, if he bought property, build houses, rented them out to the people who need them, he would actually help a lot of people, and increase his wealth at the same time!

I never know why people go public when they win so much money as all it does it cause hassle. You have begging letters by the thousand, the media all over you and friends you never knew existed getting in touch. Personally I would pick up my winnings, act normally for a few weeks and then go on holiday and never come back.

Is it just me
Or are we living through the final age of mankind
As something is yelling in (What passes for) my mind that if you`re under seventy two (Uh huh, how specific) then chances are you`re going to be young enough to live to see this fcuked up civilisation of ours implode . Writing that as earlier this evening at an old village train station I watched a couple group of kids (Thirteen year old`s , maybe) passing round and breathing in deodorant. Shit you not Had never been to, Before and never shall again either ! Part of me wanted to go over and bloody beat some sense into them all. Since there was reason me trying to use logic to point out what they were doing was = Insane But instead I moved as far away as I could (While still being technically within coverable distance to catch the train when it deemed to arrive) because the place stunk of Lynx. Christ when you were in your teens did you ever even think about spraying deodorant into your mouth (Yes they were spraying it into their mouths and inhaling) and then gargle and swallow mouthwash. No at most we maybe had a crafty cigarette or drank some beer, right Trying to shake what I saw off ,only it`s kind of depressed me a bit. Sheer bleakness of it couldn't help but depress anyone I suppose. Will snap out of it tomorrow , honest Cameron dares talk about this country and us being under the gravest terror threat ever recorded. Yeah yeah from fundamentalists he helped create , train and fund. Well at eight o'clock this evening I felt terror alright. Genuine terror for those children who are so bereft of guidance or direction they`re choosing to inhale themselves into giggling stumbling chemical blankness. Damn

I have my own enormous personal library of blu rays so avoid all the Sky/Netflix nonsense as well considering most of the films they show to be completely trite. I also like watching Countryfile quite apart from the fact the rather lovely, well spoken and intelligent Ellie Harrison is on it. BBC4 have produced some great series recently and you can catch some on Youtube. These include Sound of Cinema: The Music that Made the Movies, Horror Europa, Dan Snows History of Locomotion, Dreaming the Impossible: Unbuilt Britain etc etc. Jago Cooper has a forthcoming series on the Lost Kingdoms of Central America in follow up to those of South America. Alistair Sooke has done excellent series on the Art of Rome and Egypt, Dr.Lucy Worsley various series on culture, fashion and society over the centuries. Andrew Graham-Dixon with his Art of the Low Countries/Russia/ Germany/Italy and recently China. Dr.Michael Mosley with various series on medicine and the history of science, Simon Beale on the symphony and the reqiuem. All these presenters and several others are great communicators with a great knowledge of their subject. They also revive classic documentaries from the past such as the late Robertl Hughes The Shock of the New and great dramas such as I,Claudius. For me it is the best channel there is. |

Unless you're restricted to only watching TV (in the UK) on Freeview or Freesat, there really is no excuse for moaning that "there's nothing to watch on TV" in my opinion. I'm lucky enough to have both Sky & Virgin as TV channel providers, and they both have shedloads of stuff on them that I want to watch! I've got so many series backed up to watch it's unbelievable! The only time I tend to watch live TV is when there's a sporting event on, such as football, NFL or F1. I've also got Amazon's Prime streaming service to fall back on when I can't be arsed to dip into any of the stuff on my PVR's. Plus DVD's, Blu-Rays etc! So nothing to watch on TV? More like..."I can't be bothered to entertain any other options other than surfing around the channels to see what's on at the moment"!
Of course, this is only my opinion!

Is it just me
Or if the Scots ultimately vote no , despite several dozen other independence want-to-be nations fighting , bleeding and dying this very second , for the golden chance these five million have then weakly turned down. Plus turned down through sheer cowardice created by a news media in the direction of politicians who are themselves in the pay of rancid big business.
Then doesn't that technically mean those Scotch are crapping in the pained open dead mouth of Willy -Brave Heart- Wallace Hey hey don`t shoot the messenger , as this is merely a question Albeit a rhetorical one

Is it just me(and I suspect I already know the answer to this) or do you shout, rant, scream and threaten physical violence from a kick to an small axe in it's circuits, at your computer when it won't do what YOU want IT to do, and it IT does what IT wants to do instead? Have you ever thought about throwing it down the stairs or out of the window...or is it just me?
