Of all statistics the telephone poll is one of the most often quoted as a statement of universal fact, and often the most likely to be wrong.
The latest poll conducted by Zogby International (just the name man, just the name is enough) concluded that 53% of Americans believed that the US would be involved in [...]

The CWU have decided to ratify an agreement between the management and executive which will see a 6.9% increase in basic pay over 18 months with an increased involvement of the CWU in all structural change.
It would seem that the strikes have had some positive effect for the staff, although it can’t be termed as [...]

Preferably to death, though unconciousness would be accepted.
I am so very, very tired of competitions of Television, lets just add that I am exceptionally sick to death of Television.
You see the problem is that I don’t watch Television, asides from occasionally sticking on a Red Dwarf, Bottom or Young Ones DVD and letting my poor [...]
A Professional guide to keeping up

So lets get this, here is me in this big haunted house which weirdly enough has conjoined rooms running the length of one floor and I’m thinking ‘what should I do, this place is haunted’ and rather than say run the hell away I decide to go on an orgy of destruction which whilst enjoyable doesn’t [...]

Its not every day that you are reminded just how vacuous people tend to be, for me it tends to happen at least once an hour but thats because I suffer from some serious sort of arrogance which no doubt will make the rest of my life a lot more difficult than it needs to [...]
Differing views, the virtual representation of the internet
Posted in Political on October 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve included some links on the right hand column to various political sites which seek to explain and justify various ideologies and political stances.
So I cannot be accused of putting a slant on the representation of views I’ve included as many as I can even those you might find disagreeable, I have provisionally included a [...]

Today is just another day and consequently I thought I would post one of my favourite pictures, above are Al, me and Jon hanging out in the park in Guildford wof whistling at passing girls and drinking milkshakes in true 1950’s style.
There of course is no other reason than the fact that I think its quite [...]

On my trawl through the news I alighted upon the story of the man who punched Man Utd Manager Alex Ferguson in the groin at a train station and then proceeded to headbutt a PCSO both in unprovoked attacks
The man in question, one Kevin Reynolds has a past criminal record of 146 convictions including many for violence [...]
Public Toilets, do they make you feel sexy?
Posted in Meaningless Rambling on October 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In my poor sad sheltered life I have been witness to many things, unfortunately one of the more regular acts I’ve come across is the tendency for people to bunk up in a toilet cubicle and commit acts of otherwise pleasurable indecency upon one another. No I’m not talking about cottaging in the homosexual sense, [...]
We don’t choose who we are. But what are we other than the sum of our choices

Life does not seem to be a case of moving forward on some sort of linear, predestined line, it seems to be more of a meandering aimless search for something to do in between being born and inevitably dying.
At least it does when you have no idea what you should be doing with your life, or [...]
