Gusty

A very windy,nay storrmy, day yesterday with winds up to 99mph in places. Luckily it was a day i stayed mostly in home catching up with paperwork and not til the afternoon did i venture out. It reminds me of  the storm of 1997 and i remember that as being more damaging. Perhaps the papers do like to sex these stories up a bit'

Whilst walking around Brighton in the afternoon  I noted it was particularly windy (and no more windy than other strong wind days we have had in the past). Popped into Snoopers and Resident and had a beer at the Evening Star,posted off work,and walked back home.. Did not see one iota of damage in my round trip to the North Laines.

Today a sunny start and i hope it will stay that way.

Big Brother Trouble

So they are in trouble again - well no surprise there - ONLY that this time it looks they are well beyond redemption and the racial slur and bullying by the detestable Jade has already forced a sponsor to cancel their sponsorship and Channel 4 a potential review of their remit. I think they are now forced to dump this detestable programme like a hot potato ,a nd i for one,will happlily and gladly see the demise of BB as it represents telly at its worst.

I just hope it won't damage Channel 4 too much as they do have very good documentaries,arts and science programmes which are well woth having on the channel.

It will be interesting to see how this will pan out. I am keeping my fingers crossed that BB will be off the air soon or am i dreaming. One lives in hope!

The Bitch Is Out

That loud-mouthed cow Jade Goody is out from the BB house and good riddance to her - she has no brain in her and shoots her gobby chav mouth off without thinking.She is an obnoxious person whose only claim to fame is this disgusting TV programme which unfortunately my other half watches and i ,either have to endure it,or find some way out (which  is either the pub,listening to my music on the cans,or reading a book in bed).. Well enough of this as she does not deserve any publicity and i hope she crawls back into obscurity where she came from.
