Ultimate Big Brother: Farewell Big Brother
10th September 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
So it all finishes on Friday night. The final ever episode (so we’re promised) of one of the most enduring programmes ever to be presented to an unsuspecting public.
Big Brother finally shuts the doors on the house that has spawned more wannabes, morons and fame hungry embodiments of Andy Warhol’s prophecy than any other show in television.And the sooner it’s over the better.Having gone out with a whimper rather than... -
Big Brother: Goodbye and Good Riddance
17th August 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
So, with all the excitement of a damp firecracker, the eleventh and thankfully final series of Big Brother comes limping towards the finishing line.
The makers supposedly wanted to go out with a bang but they’ve actually gone out with the most tedious, irritating, dull and generally lifeless set of contestants since the comatose series four. The non-existent romance between Josie and John James has been pathetic. Dave, supposedly drunk on... -
A New Driving Test: What the highway code doesn’t tell you
17th August 2010 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Millions of people a year begin learning to drive. Despite the fact that we’re immersed in a worse depression and recession than the 1920’s people still find the money to fork out for driving lessons. Once they’ve passed they help to clog up roads that are already far too overcrowded.
The Government do their bit trying to force people off the road by pushing the price of fuel so high that... -
Festival Season: Piss Up or Punch Up?
16th August 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
August in Britain heralds the beginning of the football season and also the tail end of the summer’s outdoor music festivals. Having been to both a festival and a football match recently I was struck by the similarity between the two but also by the marked differences and often incorrect assumptions made about such heavily attended public events.
There are obvious similarities. Namely, huge amounts of people gathered together in one... -
We’re All Going To Die
13th August 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
First it was AIDS, and then came Sars (anyone remember that?). Bird Flu and Swine Flu, followed them and now we have a new super bug on the way that is so resistant to cure it might even make antibiotics obsolete.
That was the headline being trumpeted by most of the news channels last night. We might all be consumed by plagues that make the Black Death look like a minor... -
X Factor: The Blind Leading The Blind

So, Cheryl Cole is recovering from her bout of bubonic plague is she? Well, thank God for that I say. The fear that the world would lose such a musical colossus was leaving me sleepless at night. Just as I was worrying incessantly about who would take over from her as a judge on the X Factor. With her missing, who would chip in with such nuggets of musical genius...

Twilight of the Clods

Pre-pubescent girls, lonely women and bi-curious teenage boys doubtless greeted the release of Eclipse with the same rapturous adulation as the other two pictures in this franchise upon its release last week.
Having suffered the new film plus the other two in the series, I am still at a loss to know why it appeals to anyone who doesn’t fall into one of the aforementioned categories. I can understand the appeal... -
World Cup 2010: Why does everyone love Brazil?
1st July 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
It happens in every World Cup and it’s happening now. The pundits are going into raptures about Brazil. With England booted out of the competition by Germany the papers are running stories about which team England fans should now support (not too many mentions for the Germans) and, as usual, everyone loves Brazil.
Why? Are we supposed to fall in love with them just because they all supposedly once kicked a... -
World Cup 2010: The Next England Manager?
1st July 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
As the country recovers from World Cup elimination, Sepp Blatter decides that goal line technology might be a good idea after all (it wouldn’t by the way!), Ronaldo shows (or rather doesn’t) why he’s as overrated as Rooney and the bigger sides in the competition go on to the Quarter Final stage the papers begin to speculate on who should be the next England manager.
This is assuming that Capello gets... -
World Cup 2010: Goodbye and Good Riddance to England’s World Cup hope
28th June 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
So, the dream is over at last. England’s World Cup aspirations are left in tatters yet again and millions of England flags all across a sad and deluded country are discarded.
Those who normally don’t even care about football are free to return to their normal pastimes (or leave their flags flying and transfer their allegiance to cricket or, however fleetingly, to tennis). Many shops (most conspicuously Tesco who had been...
CONTRIBUTOR
Warhol's Cat
Warhol's Cat will hunt down the egos of the famous, the wannabes and the publicity seeking like a hyena chasing a wounded buffalo. Warhol's Cat will tear celebrity culture apart and spread it all over the walls. Where the media fawn over them, Warhol's Cat will expose them for what they really are. Demons set loose to lower the standards and drag the world down into mediocrity. For too long these fevered egos have been spreading their poison and it is time for someone to make them pay. No longer will those who call themselves celebrities be able to rest easy in their beds. Warhol's Cat has their scent and will not stop until they are defeated, humiliated or driven to seek legal advice. All those with so little talent and so much money on both sides of the Atlantic should beware because Warhol's Cat is loose and it's hungry. Look upon me and tremble.
