Watching Prime Minister’s Questions this morning I was quite taken aback by the sheer callousness of both David Cameron and his wretched Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. In response to Mr. Miliband’s question as to what advice the Prime Minister would give to a married man with three kids, who was working 20 hours a week and was [...]

Don’t Try And Tell Me This Is Good For Me

Positive thinking, let’s face it, has its place in the world. Without a little positivity in the face of adversity you’re not going to get very far, but I’ve my limits bub. I have been invited several times to a group session on the alleged benefits of depression, in which the main speaker argues that depression [...]
I’m Not A Misanthrope But…

It all hinges on what you call yourself really; social critic isn’t a difficult job when all is said and done because what do you do other than sit back and launch a few trite observations on the world you’ve come to know and love? Maybe there’s an age thing in this, maybe not, but [...]
The Cynic’s Guide to Early Warning Systems

Okay we’ll start the rant early and give it some form of direction; what the hell is it with people that do this whole “ohhh, ohhhhhhh (volume rising) ohhhhhhhhh (volume reaches crescendo level) whoooooooooooooo!”? For once I’m not talking about sex, but if I was with a girl and she started doing that I might [...]
Those Cold Dead Hands

What the hell is it with parents that think it is somehow acceptable to buy their children plastic weaponry for Christmas? Or at any time of the year come to think of it? There’s plenty of upsetting sights in this world but one that particularly pisses me off is seeing children running about with plastic [...]
And I guess I’ll have to defend to the death your right to be a bullying, misinformed, ignorant, worthless, misogynistic piece of shit.

Now I know I’m supposed to on some kind of ‘sabbatical’ just to prove to the world how truly pretentious I am but something caught my eye on the BBC news website today and I just couldn’t let it go by without commenting on it. The issue is regarding a Facebook page which bandies jokes [...]
Confessions of a Carnivore
Posted in rant on September 24, 2011 |
Of course I’m not a carnivore I’m an omnivore but why let pedantry spoil a chance of alliteration? I was thinking recently about vegetarianism, not because I’m thinking of becoming one but merely because I had once again let my mind off the leash and it happened to wander upon the topic. It seems to [...]

There’s nothing quite as wonderful as waking up at a quarter to five in the morning and being unable to get back to sleep; nothing quite as heart-warming as when you’ve been kept awake for most of the night by considerate, charming drunken louts who felt the need to shout their meaningless conversations to one [...]
Goodbye To All That Then.

And lo’ the sorry saga of AV reform comes to a wretched, miserable close with an outright defeat for the Yes campaign and what you might call a resounding victory for the Status Quo. Cast deeper into the dark depths of utter political despair I’m really at quite a loss of what to do. Perhaps [...]

If I were to go over the concepts of military spending in lieu of social security spending, you know the usual tirade that whilst everyone including guide dogs and mules at the beach that give rides for tuppence is busy having the tantric mantra of ‘cuts, cuts, cuts’ rammed down their throat at every opportunity, [...]
