the rage

Argh… The Bond film is getting crap reviews! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo… Bond is my hero… Bond RULES!

After looking fwd to being home for a few weeks, I'm being carted off to London for Monday-Wednesday next week for work, good to see my friends again, but I just can't be arsed with the flights again!

Absolutely knackered today. In my infinite wisdom I thought it'd be a good idea to play 90mins rugby training, then 50mins later 60mins of indoor five aside after a full days work, and not getting in till 6pm… My phobia of not missing out on things, and doing something all the time really kicked in, and although I had good fun… Boy am I tired… (N) Dog tired… I was already stiff after being worked over at 'Studio (insufficient) Strength' at the gym last night… The task master was some muscle freak girl, who lifted heavier weights than me, without stopping, and whilst speaking into her Britney (attached headset) mic… I felt so inadequate...

No poker played, maybe Sunday night.

In other news, I'm going to start commenting on current affairs when I see fit…

1) Ross & Brand - Yes, it was an ill advised gross practical joke that they should publically apologise about, but no one should get sacked, and everyone should just move on.

2) US Presidency - How said is it that American politics is typified by McCain trying to link Obama to terrorists? Politics is rubbish anyway.

3) Credit crunch - If everyone just chilled out, didn't sell all their shares/move their cash/draw their cash/didn't restrict credit then this wouldn't even be an issue. As it is, the business world has and will always be a boom-bust cycle, we've enjoyed the fat times, now it's time to find out who bothered to save for a rainy day. It's the banks fault, and I find it frustrating that the government is bailing them out, I understand people have money tied up in these institutions, but if it was individual business in the private sector, there's no way the government would be bailing them out, it also goes against the free market principle… the strongest survive which is how the world has evolved. My view is those who have indeed put aside for leaner times will be able to capitalise in a major way once everything is settled down, and acquisitions and mergers will pick up again, as there will be bargains and synergies to be had, and the whole process will start again. This is fair. Those who have been prudent will reap the rewards. The global economy needs these problems as a way to regulate itself. It's not a pleasant thing for people stuck at the bottom, but it's unfortunately inevitable and necessary. Those who have lost money through bank deposits are most unfortunate, and I whole heartedly sympathise, but I am talking about the bigger picture.

Best stop now before I get started on political correctness, and civil rights… Suffice to say I'm sick and tired of both, political correctness is so correct now, it's almost incorrect, and civil rights are almost so over the top that you can't get rid of dangerous individuals and deal with general riff-raff correctly, for fear of breaching their ridiculous 'civil liberties'… In my opinion, these d1cks lost their civil rights when they either took away someone elses, broke the law, or did something to require corrective action. We have kids running over teachers who can't so much as tell them off for fear of reprisal, we have murderers and rapists locked in private wings for fear the general prison population may cause them damage… Prisoners on The Rock even have access to Playstations, and flat screen plasma tv's… No wonder these idiots re-offend it's better than their bed sit council house with damp and no heating, so why wouldn't they?! And don't get me started on radical Muslim clerics… Though I believe government are taking steps against these now… Too little too late in my opinion. These now have such a following, and are so used to their precious civil liberties that action just won't work. Yes, these preachers will go underground, and will still exist, they always will, but at least it will make it harder for them!

Ooops...

I'm usually quite bullish in my opinions, and they are opinions, not arguments, I'm just ranting with no support, but it's good to get stuff of your chest. No one should take offence to the above, I'm just some schmuck after all!

(Apparently. Did you know a shmuck (check the sp) is the bit of foreskin chopped off when a Jew gets circumcised? Lovely jubley)
