You must have seen the advert on TV for a company called Picture Loans. Its an absolute joke! They try to use simple psychology to glorify the process of getting yourself into debt with a loan.
It starts by showing a scene of domestic bliss. A housewife pottering around tidying up after the kids etc, then sitting down and picking up the phone to call Picture, then discussing a £25,000 loan as if she is ordering a loaf of bread.

Throw away your dictionary, toss out your thesaurus and abandon all traces of the English language as we know it. We are being invaded by a new, cool language that is sweeping the nation, and its not just limited to kids! Thats right, idiots can catch it too!
Whats with all this black speak nonesense? “aiiiightt”, “wit”, “bro”, “ho”… get a grip!

What is the world coming to? I was sat watching the box the other night when I was confronted by that whinging, old-woman-faced, cry-baby from Big Brother 7 – Nikki Grahame. What a cretin that girl is!
From the moment she swaggered onto the set, she thought she was a cut about the rest of the people who were trying to show her how to do a normal days work. Of course, she wouldnt know work if it jumped up and slapped her round that miserable face of hers. These people are the people that work hard to provide for their families and to keep the wolf from the door. And in walks a swaggering, “im better than you”, whining, childish, disrespectful celebrity wannabee and basically pulls them to pieces because she is an idle, scrounging swine.

Something that has always troubled me in recent years is the prison system. Hopefully, I will never have the pleasure of visiting such an establishment but if I did, then it wouldnt be the end of the world to me. Why is this?

The cemetery in Badger Ave, Crewe, is a lovely resting place. Almost like a park in fact. The grass in neatly mown, the paths are clean and safe, the headstones are all upright and those that are not, are laid down to ensure public safety at all times. Sounds lovely doesnt it? The kind of place we would all like to be laid to rest.
So, what about St Michaels Churchyard, also in Crewe?

What is it with people these days? Why do they always have to make a huge deal out of everything? We are becoming more like Americans every day.
I have noticed more frequently over the past few months, the word “journey” being used for almost any event that has happened to a person. Whats all that about?
“Well Joe, how does it feel to enter the singing competition and win?”
“Its been such a unique journey for me, I dont know quite know how to describe it”

As you may see from the original post below, I was never a great fan of Jade Goody. Nor her family to be fair. That being said, she has fought a brave battle with cervical cancer recently and sadly, she lost that battle earlier today. I do not wish death upon people, and despite not caring much for Jade’s career path, I still admire her bravery and feel sad for both her and the family. In the same way that I would feel sorry for any poor young girl who has been taken by this terrible disease.

Having sat on Earle Street in Crewe on Thursday lunchtime, I was amazed to see Britannia go riding past me. After doing a double-take I realised it must have been on its way back to its place of rest. However, the place where people believe she should be laid to rest varies.

Dancing used to consist of a foxtrot around the room and a twirl at the end… if you were lucky! Today, dancing is something completely different. I have just watched “Come Dancing” and some of the outfits the girls were wearing were virtually non existent. I mean, does EVERYTHING these days have to be about sex?

Ok, let me get one thing straight…. im not racist, far from it. However, I will comment on certain things that get on my nerves and if that happens to fall into a racial category, then so be it. But I have now discovered that I shouldnt be feeling guilty at all for feeling how I feel. I have sussed out that many teenage girls are indeed racist.
