The bins do get taken out on a bank holiday.


US forces kill Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan


Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by US forces in Pakistan, President Barack Obama has said.
Bin Laden was killed in a ground operation outside Islamabad based on US intelligence, the first lead for which emerged last August.
Mr Obama said after "a firefight", US forces took possession of the body.
Bin Laden is believed to be the mastermind of the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 and a number of others.
He was top of the US' "most wanted" list.
Mr Obama said it was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda".
The US has put its embassies around the world on alert, warning Americans of the possibility of al-Qaeda reprisal attacks for Bin Laden's killing.

Analysis

How will al-Qaeda react? In the short term, the Obama administration is already bracing itself for possible revenge attacks. But for many the bigger question is whether, in the longer run, al-Qaeda can survive.
Since the start of the year, some experts have argued that the uprisings in the Arab world have rendered it irrelevant. They will see Bin Laden's death as confirming the trend. Perhaps.
But the root causes of radical Islam - the range of issues that enabled al-Qaeda to recruit disaffected young Muslims to its cause - remain, for the most part, unaddressed. The death of Bin Laden will strike at the morale of the global jihad, but is unlikely to end it.
Crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington DC, chanting "USA, USA" after the news emerged.
A US official quoted by Associated Press news agency said Bin Laden's body had been buried at sea, although this has not been confirmed.
Compound raided
Bin Laden had approved the 9/11 attacks in which nearly 3,000 people died.
He evaded the forces of the US and its allies for almost a decade, despite a $25m bounty on his head.
Mr Obama said he had been briefed last August on a possible lead to Bin Laden's whereabouts.
"It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground," Mr Obama said.
"I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located Bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.
"And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorised an operation to get Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice," the president said.
Osama Bin LadenBin Laden was top of the US "most wanted" list
On Sunday, US forces said to be from the elite Navy Seal Team Six undertook the operation in Abbottabad, 100km (62 miles) north-east of Islamabad.
After a "firefight" Bin Laden was killed and his body taken by US forces, the president said.
Mr Obama said "no Americans were harmed".
US officials said Bin Laden was shot in the head after resisting.
US media reports said that the body was buried at sea to conform with Islamic practice of a burial within 24 hours and to prevent any grave becoming a shrine.

America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done”
George W BushFormer US president
Giving more details of the raid, one senior US official said a small US team had conducted the attack in about 40 minutes.
Three other men were killed in the raid - one of Bin Laden's sons and two couriers - the official said, adding that one woman was also killed when she was used as "a shield" and two other women were injured.
One helicopter was lost due to "technical failure". The team destroyed it and left in its other aircraft.
One resident, Nasir Khan, told Reuters the helicopters had come under "intense firing" from the ground.
The size and complexity of the structure in Abbottabad had "shocked" US officials.
It had 4m-6m (12ft-18ft) walls, was eight times larger than other homes in the area and was valued at "several million dollars", though it had no telephone or internet connection.
The US official said that intelligence had been tracking a "trusted courier" of Bin Laden for many years. The courier's identity was discovered four years ago, his area of operation two years ago and then, last August, his residence in Abbottabad was found, triggering the start of the mission.
Another senior US official said that no intelligence had been shared with any country, including Pakistan, ahead of the raid.
"Only a very small group of people inside our own government knew of this operation in advance," the official said.
Barack Obama gives a statement confirming the death of Osama Bin Laden
The Abbottabad residence is just 200 metres from the Pakistan Military Academy - the country's equivalent of West Point.
The senior US official warned that the possibility of revenge attacks had now created "a heightened threat to the homeland and to US citizens and facilities abroad".
But the official added that "the loss of Bin Laden puts the group on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse".
He said Bin Laden's probable successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was "far less charismatic and not as well respected within the organisation", according to reports from captured al-Qaeda operatives.
'Momentous achievement'
World leaders welcomed the news of Bin Laden's death.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Bin Laden had "paid for his actions".
A Pakistani government statement said Bin Laden's death "illustrates the resolve of the international community, including Pakistan, to fight and eliminate terrorism".
Map
Former US President George W Bush described the news as a "momentous achievement".
"The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," Mr Bush said in a statement.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says that, to many in the West, Bin Laden became the embodiment of global terrorism, but to others he was a hero, a devout Muslim who fought two world superpowers in the name of jihad.
The son of a wealthy Saudi construction family, Bin Laden grew up in a privileged world. But soon after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan he joined the mujahideen there and fought alongside them with his Arab followers, a group that later formed the nucleus for al-Qaeda.
After declaring war on America in 1998, Bin Laden is widely believed to have been behind the bombings of US embassies in East Africa, the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 and the attacks on New York and Washington.

A case of life, death and fecal matter.

Here are a nice selection of news stories that contain a mixture of all of the above.

Woman died after doctors failed to spot toilet brush in her buttocks

      Well this was just a hilarious news story. I mean it's intrensically sad that a good toilet brush was wasted in such a manner but what a way to go!!
       Cindy Corton, 35, died after a toilet brush got lodged in her arse. But wait, there's more! Not only did the doctor fail to spot a 1 foot white handled bristly instrument stuck up the woman's bottom, but this was a mistake repeated by other doctors over a 2 year period. The mind boggles! The poor woman then had to convince doctors of her peculiar malady (which was the result of a 'drunken incident') and get them to do an exploratory surgery. Doctor's were left red-cheeked when scans showed the mysterious cause of her ill health. Unfortunately, the woman died during the operation to remove the offending toilet cleaner...presumably from irresistible waves of pleasure.
       Many questions spring to mind concerning this story:

1. How did she shit?
2. Did she then need to use toilet roll?
3. Did it tickle?
4. Why on earth was the woman called 'Cindy'?

       What's sad is that there was no way that the news source was treating this as a serious story; you can tell by the title that this woman's demise was just one big joke. How did her husband feel? He simply remarked that "Cindy got a very poor service from the NHS. I'm sure she would have got better treatment in foreign countries".
        I'm certainly saddened by the prospect of the NHS providing poor service. In terms of getting better healthcare in a different country, I would have advised Peter (the husband) that he possibly have taken his wife to France to deal with their 'situation'. In terms of removing things from one's arse, there is no-one better or more experienced than a Frenchman.

Elvis Presley 'killed by chronic constipation', claims doctor


       Elvis Presley was killed by chronic constipation, his personal doctor has revealed.
       Well No Shit!! Literally. Doesn't everyone know that Elvis died on the crapper? That's what I heard...about 10 years ago. And now this doctor has the cheek to go and suggest that it is breaking news that his death was a result of his inability to defecate.
        Of course, this is really just all utter nonsense; Elvis didn't die. He simply got bored with this planet and moved to Mars with his alien buddies. What's worrying is that he left this legacy of rigor mortis brought on by colon trouble. Not the most glorious of ways to go out. No doubt he will be back in time to correct this flaw in history.
        For a detailed and accurate account of Elvis' whereabouts and current lifestyle, see Douglas Adams 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.

Great-grandmother wins poo fine battle

       In case you missed this reality TV series, it was shit. Here is what happened.

       Officials had accused Pam Robson of failing to clear up after her dog - and fined her £50. Two environmental enforcement officers spotted the married former women's refuge volunteer worker cleaning up after her Labrador Derik as she took him for a walk. They insisted she had cleared up a different dog's mess and issued her with a fixed penalty notice for a dog fouling offence. Mrs Robson refused to pay and was told she faced a court summons, criminal record and a potential fine of £1,000. But council bosses had a change of heart after Mrs Robson saw a solicitor and spoke to her MP, and have said she will not be pursued for payment of the ticket. Problems started for the 60-year-old when she was walking the four-year-old rescue dog on an open field near St Michael's Church, Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, in January.
       She said: ''It was a snowy day and I'd stopped to speak to my daughter on the mobile telephone as Derik ran off to do his business. 'As I followed after him to pick it up I saw a van stop by the side of the road and two men get out, one wearing a city council jerkin. They crossed the field to me and I thought they were going to ask for directions. Then one asked whether I realised my dog had just done its business and I said yes and showed him where I'd picked it up in a bag. He said it was the wrong mess and that he was going to issue me with a fine for £50. I was annoyed and upset. I picked up the other mess too and put it in the bag but he said I'd still be fined.''
       When Mrs Robson asked the environmental enforcement officer his name he refused to answer, identifying himself only as ''David 13''. She thought that would be an end to the matter, but later received a £50 fixed penalty notice threatening court action and a criminal record if she did not pay. ''I rang the council hoping common sense would prevail but was told they were quite satisfied I'd done wrong,'' the great grandmother, who is a grandmother-of-three and mother-of-three said. ''They told me I could pay in instalments but I said no way".

      This is just ridiculous!!! I scarcely have to ridicule the absurdity...but I will. Firstly, who calls their dog Derik? Forget calling the fucking council in, how about the RSPCA? More importantly, however, is the issue of just how pathetic the council is!
       On a side note, the article was obviously written in favour of the senile delinquent because it continually mentions her status as a family woman. It also shows that she was old and therefore it should be expected that she should make mistakes. When her dog took a dump, she picked it up like any noble citizen. Who CARES if she picked up the wrong dog shit? At least she picked something up.
       Yet it is the Gestapo that the council employ who are really to be scorned here. Who the fuck drives around in a van terrorising old women? Terrorising old women whose dogs take a crap? The old lady was obviously so frightened by them that she actually picked up the other dog shit as well and probably would have gone on to clear the whole snow-laden field if the shreds of her dignity hadn't prevented her. If you do argue that she should have received the fine for not maintaining her pet then you would at least say that no fine should have been given because she immediately cleared up the other dog mess just in case. And yet she stood to lose £1000 and a court summons by (rightly) refusing to pay the unjust £50 fine.
       Let me break it down for you. The dog goes to the toilet. The woman cleans it up. How the hell do two guys driving around in a van (presumably with the defiled remains of several women in the back) spot that the lady has picked up the wrong dog shit (if that was the case)??? That's a joke. The fact that they were then so unmerciful is even more damning. One must avoid exaggerating in such cases, but those men were definitely worse than Hitler.
       They were also desperately sad! That obviously goes without saying seeing as they were council employees but WHO, when asked their name, replies 'David 13'? What?? Where did that come from? If you're going to make up a name then at least be creative; I would suggest 'Holden McGroyne', 'Phil McCracken-Licket', 'Arthur Dick' or 'Nick Clegg'. No-one would be any the wiser as to who you are.
       What I love is that the council offered her the chance to pay the £50 in installments! Thankfully, our heroic senior refused, opting instead to go for the big payout.

World's oldest person dies aged 114

       There was nothing funny about this article. I was just quite impressed.

Wheelie bin man 'blocked mother'

       An innocent title you might say. Something to do with facebook or MSN etc. You could not be more wrong. You could try, but you would not succeed.

       A chef who killed his wife and hid her corpse for three years in a freezer repeatedly urged his mother-in-law not to ask to see her body, the Old Bailey has heard. Peter Wallner killed his wife Melanie with a cast-iron pan and kept her body in a freezer in the garden shed before moving her to a wheelie bin outside their house in Surrey last year. In a statement read to the court, Jeanne Oosthuizen, Melanie's mother, said Wallner called her in South Africa from the UK in August 2006 to break the news of her 30-year-old daughter's death. Ms Oosthuizen said Wallner claimed his wife had collapsed in the night and died en route to hospital. She said he told her not to visit the coroner to view the body as her face was "black and bruised" and "to try to remember her the way she was".

       I'm not seeing the problem as of yet. The article's title is certainly misleading. It does not concern a bin-man, but instead a chef. The exact person who would want to stay away from bins for fear of germs and contamination. And 'blocks mother'? Surely the much more pressing issue that the article should be covering is the brutal murder of a woman by her spouse.
       Not that this article reveals that. Instead, I was quite enamoured by the sensitivity and thoughtfulness of Chef Wallner. On the unfortunate passing of his wife, he called her mother to inform her of what had happened and then deliberately saved her from trauma by discouraging that she see her daughter's dead body but instead recall her by her fond memories. Awwwwwww. Wallner also killed a South-African and did so at minimal cost to the government by using his own tools of the trade and not wasting any expense on bringing about the murder. The man is in fact a hero.
        I can understand the freezer part, but the wheelie-bin? What the fuck did he think was gonna happen? The least he would have gotten away with was a fine for not using the proper bags for food waste in the disposing of her body.
       On a personal note, if I were to kill someone I would prefer to be a butcher - you could get away with the perfect crime! Knives and other implements are readily on hand (or frying pans), supplying the meat to hungry customers would be no problem (the meat we buy in the butcher's is pretty much indiscernible from the body part it used to comprise) and the bones could be ground up for mince or chopped up for dogs. Done. Don't get on a butcher's bad side.

Leprechaun-garbed holdup suspect among 2 shot dead

        If you laughed at the headline, don't worry, you're supposed to.

       Two bank robbery suspects, including one dressed in a green leprechaun costume, were shot dead after a St. Patrick's Day chase and shootout with police in Tennessee, authorities said.

       The luck of the Irish huh? I could go more in depth into the news story but I'm not going to as I really want to finish this entry.
       Who the fuck wears a leprechaun costume to a bank robbery? It's not like it was a fancy dress robbery. Whilst it may have been St. Patrick's Day (thus the get-up would be excusable in the circumstances), the only remaining explanation is that the robber was in fact a leprechaun. Which means that Tennessee law enforcement KILLED A LEPRECHAUN! The repercussions are going to be huge, both in Ireland and the fairytale underground. America better fucking watch it.
        The article concluded with this:

       Storment said police are still trying to identify the two men. The officers involved in the shooting are on administrative duty while the investigation continues.

       The case was reminiscent of the Dec. 22 robbery in Nashville when a man dressed in a Santa suit — including hat, beard and mustache — held up a SunTrust Bank, demanding money from the teller at gunpoint. No arrests have been made in that case.

        Isn't that brilliant? The police didn't think (as part of their uncovering the identity of the felon) to take off the false brown beard and wig. It also now appears that there is some truth to the fact that Santa doesn't exist...anymore.

Chinese boy, 6, saved from dropping to death by his ears!

       Well let's finish on a positive note. Normally one doesn't say that and then talk about China. Yet in this case, even the exclamation mark in the headline is heartwarming.

       A six-year-old Chinese boy was saved from dropping eight storeys by his ears, which prevented his head from completely sliding between window bars outside his home.


Well, that's a lucky escape. For the boy that is, not for the rest of the world. Still, the war against China continues...secretly.

So what's new?

Well hello there!!
That is incidentally one of the greetings I hate most...it's up there along with 'Howdy', 'Hello, I'm James Blunt' and anything German.

So what's new? It has been ages since I've been on but don't fret, I have ben perusing the news and filing away stories to put on here. Apart from that, I have just finished my exams and in order to celebrate, I've started drinking in the mornings to really give the day that kickstart it needs. In less then a week I'm off to see my beloved God-daughter and her family in New Zealand which I can't wait for! I'll be back in the movie reviewing business soon (there are lots of great films coming up) and hopefully also starting a Movie Review blog with a friend where we will discuss movies, actors and the anti-Christ that is Sarah Jessica Parker. My blogging should be frequent due to the time I will have in the summer holidays, so sit back, relax and prepare to be astounded at just how shit the media can get.

Man aged 33 is refused a bottle of wine in Tesco... because he had no ID


       In any other situation, Jason Wilde might have been flattered to be thought of as a decade younger. But when the 33-year-old was refused a bottle of rose wine at a Tesco near where he lives he felt humiliated and angry. An overzealous staff member refused to serve him when he was unable to prove his age because he did not have identification.
      Jason Wilde, 33, was refused a bottle of wine at Tesco because he was unable to prove his age. His 29-year-old fiancee, Lorraine Thomas, was not allowed to buy it either on the grounds that she may have been purchasing alcohol for a minor. And although his 29-year-old fiancee, Lorraine Thomas, stepped in with her driving licence, the supermarket refused to budge as she might be buying alcohol for a minor. 
       He ended up leaving the Bar Hill store in Cambridgeshire - which he has visited nearly every week for the past five years - with everything in his trolley except for the wine. 'When you're buying £140 worth of shopping, you're hardly likely to be underage,' said Mr Wilde, a sales manager from nearby Fenstanton. 'It wasn't like we were trying to buy six cans of dodgy cider. I am 15 years over the legal age. Things have got ridiculous.'
      
       How ironic life can be. A couple of months ago, Matthew, his wife and Sheena all went to Tescos together to do our first big shop for our new house. There happened to be special offers on booze that day so we purchased a good £100 worth of the proverbial liquor and headed to the check-out. Unfortunately, we happened to choose the one counter that was more than amptly filled by a bloated behemoth with bad skin and a real grudge against anyone skinnier than her (which is saying something if I was skinnier but I think it was Sheena's petiteness that was the last straw that broke the camel toe's back). Matthew and Sheena put most of our food through first whilst I held back some of my own stuff (including my Malibu) to purchase seperately. That was fine.
       THEN, the wonderful cashier (who we shall call Gertrude) asked for ID (which is fair enough due to the 'Looking Under 25 Rule') and Mattthew (who was paying) provided his. I then showed her mine to go with the alcohol I was buying. At this point, Gertrude turned to Sheena, who was standing innocently some distance away, kicking her heels and with her mind probably on the fun she would have with our dog Pepper when she got home. "What about her?", she bitched in a voice that did Jabba The Hutt justice. Sheena did not have ID and on ascertaining this, a cruel smile slowly spread over Gertrude's jowls before she pronounced that she would not be able to let them purchase their alcohol. Momentarily stunned by the tyranny that had just been unmasked in Tescos, Matthew and I both gasped "Why??". We were told exactly the same reasons as were given to Jason in the above article. Matthew was infuriated that because Sheena (who is 24 - a full 6 years over the required drinking age limit and fled her home nation of America to seek refuge from exactly this sort of discrimination on the age of purchasing drink) was with him and did not have ID, he could not buy any of the alcohol.
       At this point, I stepped in. In the meantime Matthew had told Sheena to go to the car, but was still told that he would not be able to buy the spirits. I said to Gertrude that I was a friend of the couple and had bumped into them at the store. I had my own alcohol and took Matthew and Sheena's with the intention of purchasing it myself. Alas, it was not to be. I was then refused my legal right to buy booze with ID because there was a very real danger that I would just sell it or provide it to underage drinkers (such as Sheena). Matthew asked to see Gertrude's superior at which point some gremlin (we'll call him Neil) popped up at the till. Neil was about 12 and had a face so pockmarked that in comparison, he made it look like the moon used moisturiser. On hearing the situation, Neil then repeated the exact same Tesco's manifesto. Matthew asked to speak to his superior but was then informed that there was no-one at this superstore.
       We left in disgust. Just to show how disgusted we were, we took our groceries. Most angry customers would have neglected purchasing their goods at Tesco and just gone somewhere else to teach the corporate giant a lesson, but that was just inconvenient. I have to say I sympathise totally with Jason and think that the attitude employed by Tesco is utterly fucking ridiculous. Everything in the above article is, for once, a true reflection of real life. Savour it whilst it lasts, who knows when the next decent news story will occur. I only wish we could have gone to the papers.

In Todays News...

        Sorry I've been away everyone...I know how you've missed me. I've been filling my time with moving houses, cooking and having people look up my ass. Not everyone made it out. But now I'll be trying to be regular again in my posting. I hope you enjoy.



Extra Strength Marmite Unveiled

        An extra-strong version of Marmite has recently gone on sale. The only difference to the original is that now people will either love it or really hate it.

Plane Passenger Eats Scratch Card

        Now this is a really sad story. An airline passenger braved the human rights injustice that you usually experience aboard Ryanair flights to get to Krakow. To try and brighten his flight of numbing inevitability, he purchased one of their extremely overpriced scratch cards. Against all odds, he won £8930. The God of Ryanair was not to be so easily beaten however. Worried that this would bankrupt his airline company, he put it in the minds of his gremlins to tell the passenger that he would not be able to claim his winnings immediately (due to the fact that about two more packets of peanuts would have to be sold on their flights to raise the money to actually award the money whilst simultaneously sueing the scratchcard company for actually providing them with a winning scratchcard).

       Faced with this inconvenience (typical of Ryanair) the passenger reacted as any reasonable person would and ate his scratchcard. Presumably he regretted this impulse decision on his walk to Krakow when the flight landed just a short distance from its said destination...in London, England.

Convict digs out of prison using a spoon

       The title is pretty self-explanatory. The convict (a 35 year old woman) is still on the run in Holland and in my opinion should be left alone and pardoned for her unspecified 'violent' crime. Anyone who can dig their way out of a prison with a spoon should be allowed to have their freedom free. The feat is equivalent to O.J Simpson being a comedy gem (The Naked Gun trilogy) and thus not being guilty for the alleged murder of his wife and her lover. Or Ben Affleck being Ben Affleck and thus not being charged for killing all those hookers.
      
Sex Education not 'watered down'

       The actual news title was "Sex Education not 'watered down', says Ed Balls.

       The article itself was very boring and talked about sex education in the UK and in faith schools, but the headline was priceless. The fact that the child secretary would be called Ed Balls...you can't make this stuff up.

What might have been...

      One thing I like to do in writing for comedy is to parody films (generally shit ones) and replace the actors with different people and warp the plot. They'll take the form of a review/summary. I'm now going to start putting these on my blog so that you will hopefully enjoy them. If you don't recognise names or the film parody etc etc then just google/wikipedia them and you will understand. Expect more to come.

Giant Phelps vs. Mega Barrymore

       Whilst trying to disprove the scientific theory that feminism causes global warming, Emma MacNeil (Ellen Degeneres) accidentally destroys a major iceberg and almost dooms civilisation.
       She promptly flees. Unbeknownst to her, two of mankinds biggest water-dwelling threats (having been frozen whilst locked in combat) were encased by that very iceberg. Upon its destruction, they thaw out and once unfrozen, they head their seperate ways.
       Phelps heads towards the Japanese coast and not long after, the Japs are left humiliated without any gold medals. Devastating attacks upon their oil rigs follow. Naturally, the Japanese blame Godzilla.
       Meanwhile, MacNeil is fired from her American talkshow (because it is shit) and heads to England. Word reaches her that an old friend Stuart Lubbock, has been found dead at the bottom of a pool in suspicious circumstances. The alcohol and drugs found in his system clearly point to the deadly work of a Barrymore.
       Realising that her antics in Alaska might have brought about the attacks by the two mysterious aqua leviathons, MacNeil journeys to see her old friend Lamar Sanders (Shawn Wayans). At first, Sanders refuses to help her, claiming that he is sick of being in piss poor horror movies and also, since he is black, he will naturally be the first main character to be killed.
       Eventually Sanders realises that without being in shit movies, he would have no way to earn a living. He therefore agrees to help MacNeil. Being a comedian, Sanders is the closest thing to an expert on Barrymores' that MacNeil can find. The two journey to Japan where they meet Dr. Seiji Samada (Matt leBlanc) who believes that the attacks on Japanese oil rigs and their lack of gold medals are all the work of a Phelps. MacNeil and Sanders ask Samada for his help. Dr. Samada readily agrees, surmising that 'Friends' left him typecast and without any work. Desperate for a job and coming off the success of the 'Ichiban-Lipstick for men' adverts, he became a Japanese scientist.
       Sanders suggests that the only way to take care of the Phelps and Barrymore threats before they strike again is to lure them to an ice trench off the Alaskan Coast where they can have a 'Thrilla in Manilla' style showdown and the monsters can take care of each other. Meanwhile, MacNeil is turned by Samada's good looks and charm. The Japanese Doctor, on the other hand, is absolutely disgusted by the ugly old lesbian and insists that she stands at least ten feet away from him when they're in the same room.
       The day of the fight arrives and both the Barrymore and the Phelps are lured to the location. However, the Phelps does not take the bait at first and instinctively kills Sanders. Desperately trying to attract the Phelps, Samada feeds MacNeil to it, restoring some dignity to America. Enraged by the death of a fellow homosexual, the Barrymore attacks the Phelps. Locked together in a deathly embrace, the two monstrous leviathons sink to the ocean floor.
       Rid of the threat, Samada vows not to put his involvement in this film on his CV and retires back into obscurity.

It's mine, all mine.

      So just a little legal note, all the stuff I write on here is copyright to me!!! Just in case I write something good enough that someone will want to steal it.

In Recent News...

       I had these articles put away a few weeks ago and have yet to peruse today's news.

Thief Had 75 Bottles Stuffed Down Trousers

       "A man has been caught shoplifting after he stuffed 75 bottles of body lotion in his trousers.Chamil Guadarrama could not escape from authorities in Massachusetts because he was hampered by trousers that were nearly bursting at the seams.Police in Springfield said the 30-year-old was charged with shoplifting from Bath & Body Works in Eastfield Mall."

       It amazes me how much being PC has messed up our society and culture. The obvious fact that they fail to mention in this article is that the thief was a black male. They basically say everything but that! They mention stealing. And the fact that he almost got away with 75 bottles stuffed down his trousers until they were bursting at the seams - well I don't want to make the stereotype of endowment any more explicit.

      Aside from that 'racism' it amazes me as to the stupidity of the shoplifter. Sure he could probably get away with a couple bottles stuffed down his trousers everytime he went shopping. That is what would occur to the average person of average intelligence. A few weeks later and he would have the amount he had previously aimed for! But 75 bottles??? Of body lotion??? That is a hell of a lot of masturbation, you'd more expect a teenager from Brixton to be guilty of this crime.

      Police confirmed that the shoplifter's methods had been anything but smooth.


World's 'second pregnant man' expecting baby boy next month

      Speaking of stupidity, here is a fresh batch of it.

      "Scott Moore and his partner, Thomas, were both born as girls and have undergone surgery and hormone treatments to transform their sex.Scott, who was born a girl called Jessica, first realised he wanted to be a man when he hit puberty aged 11."I was always a tomboy but when I started to develop breasts I realised I'd been born in the wrong body. When I told my family, they thought I was crazy, but they gradually realised I was serious and allowed me to start taking male hormones when I was 16 years old." His parents paid £4,600 for Scott to have his 36DDD chest removed. "I was very depressed and my parents realised it was the only thing that could help me," said Scott. "I opted not to have a penis because I couldn't afford it and I didn't think the results were very good - it had nothing to do with wanting children because back then I didn't think I'd ever have them." Scott and Thomas met in 2005 at a support group meeting for transgender men. Thomas began his transition aged 19, although he knew from the age of four that he wanted to be a man. Thomas, who used to be called Laura, legally changed his name in 1998. He started taking testosterone in 1999 and had his 44GG breasts removed at the UCSF medical centre in San Francisco in 2004. Later that year he had a hysterectomy and a penis made out flesh from his thigh."

       Again, this is why PC culture is ridiculous. For a start, it leads to 36DDD and 44GG chests being REMOVED which is an absolute travesty. It also leads to an obvious lie being believed that men can get pregnant.

       They can't. No. It doesn't and won't ever happen. Don't be silly. A man is defined by his chromosone's. He is also very much defined as a man by the presence of his penis. You either get a penis OR a vagina (hermaphrodites can fuck off). If you have your penis or vagina removed, that doesn't stop making you a man or woman. It just means that you're completely fucked up and should probably rethink your life.

       Furthermore, this article completely disproves that men can give birth, whilst reporting on it! It states that Scott and Thomas were born female before they wished to change gender. That is IT! The be all and end all of the argument. They were born female and are stuck as that - nothing can change it. If Thomas was that messed up as to get a 'penis' crafted from his own ample thigh and attached to him, that doesn't make him a man. He remains a woman and thus is still capable of giving birth. So when they do get pregnant, it is in fact an abnormal woman naturally giving birth. Not a man blowing his cock off.

        It just frustrates me that this stuff is called news and ground-breaking scientific discovery when in fact it is just bullshit. I don't have anything against Jessica and Laura. I'm sure they are two very loving people who will bring up there kids in a loving home which otherwise they might have lacked.

       I wish Monty Python had covered this in 'The Meaning of Life'. A small seperate section entitled 'The Miracle of Birth: Until humans messed around with it.'


Martin Amis criticises Nobel writer JM Coetzee for 'having no talent'

       "Martin Amis, the novelist known for his outspoken comments, has dismissed the Nobel Prize-winning author JM Coetzee as "having no talent".

       Just to cover this firstly. Since when did Nobel Prize winners have talent?? It's all bullshit. Why did Obama win a Nobel Prize? For being black and becoming President of America? That isn't a talent (although it was certainly a hard feat). Hardly anyone who wins them has real talent. I think they should only be awarded to people who really make a big difference in the world like Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Nick Griffin and Martin Luther King Jnr. Or scientists such as Einstein who made ground-breaking discoveries. By that I mean new medicines that cure diseases or inventions that make life easier - NOT theories such as evolution. The article goes on about a different point however.

        "After calling for the introduction of euthanasia booths for the elderly last week, he has now turned on his fellow writers, criticising the assumption that "gloomy" books are somehow more serious. Last week Amis compared Britain's growing elderly population as "an invasion of terrible immigrants", as he called for ‘death booths’ to be placed on street corners so they could kill themselves. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Amis said: "How is society going to support this silver tsunami? There'll be a population of demented very old people, like an invasion of terrible immigrants stinking out the restaurants and cafés and shops." "I can imagine a sort of civil war between the old and the young in 10 or 15 years' time."

       After laughing for a very long time upon reading this, and personally agreeing with many of his ideas, I had to admit that Martin Amis certainly thinks outside the box.

        Let's start with the euthanasia booths. What Amis is calling for is basically a repeat Third-Reich purge but of the elderly (not the Jews). This is just ridiculous. It's not like there is any threat of his ideas coming to realisation, but sometimes you have to mock the crap that people come out with. However, as John Lennon said not long before his assassination, "Imagine".

       Eastern European tourists and Mexicans would wander into these euthanasia boxes, mistaking them for photo booths. Whilst this would go someway into solving the problem of immigration and would no doubt be supported by the BNP, the danger is there that many innocent people who certainly are not old would accidentally end their lives in this manner. So apart from euthanasia booths being beyond ridiculous, we have established that they could present a very possible menace to the non-geriatric population so we will abandon that idea.

      I have got to say though that Amis is certainly growing on me, just like an unwanted fnugal infection. Similar to Nick Griffin. Certainly, both men should be campaigning side by side for the BNP/NSDAP. The phrase 'silver tsunami' is sublime and his comparison to the demented OAPs as "terrible immigrants stinking out the restaurants and cafés and shops" is brilliant. Because that is exactly what they do (old people, not so much the immigrants).

       Amis is so right-wing that anything he comes out with is laughable, just like Griffin. He is also immensely stupid. He states that in 10-15 years there is the growing possiblity of civil war between the young and the old. For starters, the thought of that is immensely entertaining and there would be absolutely no contest in that war. More importantly though is the fact that Amis himself will be 70-75 in 10-15 years time, thus classing him as one of the elderly that heso readily despises. I'm sure by that time, if not now, there will be no end of people waiting to insert him into one of his euthanasia booths.


Pheasant Terrorises North Yorkshire Village

      On a lighter note, this was also in the news.

       "Residents of Newsham, near Richmond in Yorkshire, are being attacked in the street repeatedly by a pheasant.The belligerent bird has targeted men, women, prams, bikes, dogs and cars.It also lies in wait for children to get off their school bus, then pursues them on to the village green. Sonia Hall was attacked by the creature while out for a walk with her two-and-a-half-year-old grandson Jacob. The Daily Telegraph reports her son Charles Hall, 34, who runs the A66 Hotel near the village, as saying: "[Sonia] was really shaken up by it. She was out walking when the pheasant went for her and started pecking her legs." She tried to beat it off with her handbag but from what she said it is quite vicious. The local postman had to save her from it by kicking it."

       "People think it is getting its revenge on people from some of its family being shot. We had no reported sightings on Wednesday so maybe it's had its comeuppance." Mrs Hall's partner, Robin Leonard, added: "The pheasant's attack left her with a scar on her leg. She was hitting it with her bag but it wouldn't give up.
The postman was passing by and saw the attack so ran over to help. The postman is scared to come into the village now in case the pheasant attacks him." Bob De'Ath, chairman of Newsham Parish Council, said: "Although it seems humorous, there is a serious concern that this pheasant could injure young children if it goes for their face. You can push it away, but it continues going for you. It is terrorising the whole village. We are now starting to get official complaints about it, so I have written to the RSPCA and the RSPB to ask for advice on the matter." Lyndsey Waddell, chairman of the National Gamekeepers Organisation, explained: "You get a similar thing in a variety of other birds as spring approaches and the breeding season begins. All the bird is doing is protecting what it considers to be its territory." He suggested the best way to deal with the creature would be to capture it humanely and release it back into the countryside far from the village.

      Well I will be honest, this news story couldn't have come at a better time because I have just finished writing a script for a new horror movie called 'The Bird'. Basically it is to be an UK based version of Hitchcock's classic.

       I mean, it's articles like this that prove life is worth living. You hardly need me to comment on it to laugh out loud. I will make a point of just how retarded these country bumpkins are. Their solution to capture it humanely and release it back into the countryside is beyond stupid. Just shoot the fucking bird, they're quite tasty. And sorry, but have you seen the size difference between a human and a pheasant? The equivalent of this 'problem' would be a naked unarmed human attacking a T-Rex or some other dinosaur of similar dimensions. NOT a problem (for the dinosaur).

       And the revenge theory? I'm pretty sure that pheasants don't have the mental capacity for that. And if the villager's shot the partner, then shoot it's mate as well. This is so ridiculous. It's not as if this is a were-pheasant or something.

       It's villages such as these that make such complaints that deserve to be inflicted with the curse of a werewolf. Imagine if this village was. "The postman tried kicking the belligerent beast away but was impeded in continuing in doing so by the fact that it promptly tore him in half. His associates were too scared to continue delivering mail to the village. Mrs Hall's partner, Robin Leonard, added "The beast's attack left her without a leg and her left breast. She is thus finding it tremendously difficult to feed our 1 year old Jamie." There have been no reported sightings recently, but with the full moon approaching, it is only a matter of time before carnage and terror will be wreaked again."

       Pheasant or werewolf? I would choose pheasant. Country or city? I would choose city. At least there, people are a different kind of stupid.
