Pointless


Celebrity, let’s repeat the word again…Celebrity, don’t you just hate that word. Personally I despise the word, the meaning behind it and often the people who create it, those that celebrate it and most of all the individuals that are supposed to be one. The cult of Celebrity has to be one of the most pointless, vacuous, inane creations every laid upon modern mankind.
They are meaningless, a pile of shit on the sole of modern culture.
 I have thought about this and what it might really mean to be a Celebrity and I think I know the answer. .
You have had to appear on TV for a maximum of about two minutes this includes any television show or channel from all over the world, maybe even some kind of viral YouTube video. Maybe you are a large breasted model or a shamed politician, perhaps a sportsperson or someone with a talking dog (who cares !).
You must be prepared to look at complete prat (most of the time), you must speak in words and sentences that only refer to the show or shows you may have appeared in (or acted in…acting that’s a moot point).
You must have around three brains cells and think that everybody really thinks that what you do really, really matters all the time. You must, I repeat must be on Twitter (why wasn’t it named Twatter) and finally for money you will prostitute yourself and perform anything that is required of you by the lords of the great unseen. The Unseen are the people who actually watch, dress, read and care about what celebrities do every day of their pointless, uncreative lives. Oh how the Unseen  love the X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, that Jungle shite where they eat grubs and piss in the woods, Big Brother, Dancing on Ice, Splash.. the list is endless although I think it may have reached it’s nadir when I saw Celebrity Bake Off advertised in the schedules recently (yes a programme now where celebrities can bake on TV rather than actual people who may be rather good at it and want to possibly have a career in the industry)  but that’s OK because it’s for ‘Comic Relief’ (not OK for me it isn’t, plus I’m so bored with Comic Relief and Children In Need , what about real charities that are suffering in these depressed economic times).
So please  STOP IT NOW- RIGHT NOW before I put my foot through my flat screen and forever save my soul from these parasites that make me squirm and shout out loud with all the frustration I can feel inside, please go and leave me to my TV watching and newspaper reading  in peace. 

Enjoy Brothers & Sisters.

Winter Is Coming


Winter has arrived, it’s snowing today and austerity is still upon us. The current government wants to cap benefits, cap pensions, cap pay increases and then try and build thousands of homes on our green and pleasant land.
I turned 52 today and supposedly I will live forever according to my government again , well a lot longer apparently than if I was born a hundred years earlier rather than the at the beginning of the swinging sixties. Therefore they say I can work longer, save more and receive 144 pounds a week when I finally retire but at a much later date than I had assumed when I was thirty.
So even though it’s my birthday today, I shall lock the front door, pull the curtains, have a steaming cup of tea and listen to the late Vic Chesnutt. 

Enjoy
