ROCKANROLLARSE - the question is, would Guy Ritchie, and Madonnans let their kids watch this tripe served up as eerrrmm tripe.. no corsz they wouldn't..,. as if his other films weren't abysmal enough, they have to persist in putting out this violent crap dressed up as glossy gun crime romanticism.. it makes me flippen laugh how Guy Ritchie portrays himself as some sort of hard-man hanger-outer with, all this macho crap with no consequences to families, children, lives, glamorising gun crime... hanging out with Vinnie Jones, and ex-Eastend gangsters.. what a hopeless deluded twat, and Warner Bros, they have to make this rubbish don't they because they daren't turn down Madgonnas hubby,,, I for one, as an ex-East London girl, having experienced these idiots who reckon they're 'hard-men' for one, can say, that, when I see you Guy, I'll be giving you the knuckle-dusters treatment for bringing this drivel in to the world... really someone should restrict him to making Madgonnas vidjeos only, or soft-porn or something ..ooopppsss, same thing - sorry..

it is all about the money when it comes to US politics, you can't say that Obama is going to be any different to Bush can you?, except he'll be more intelligent, and the excuses he'll make will be better put... I am impressed by the way the Americans throw themselves into this stuff though... you get the feeling that they really do love America when they say it.. you don't get all that huffuff here.. I love Britain , vote for me... it would almost be a call not to vote for someone... a government too weak and scared to reign in the super-rich Power & utilities companies over the rip-off that is energy supply.... the funny thing is, I often see water falling from the sky.. I think its called eerrrmmm 'Rain', its often wet and bears quite a resemblance to stuff that comes out my tap that is erm,,, water, then when I flush the loo, that erm water is all going to the utility companies who apparently are pumping so much of the stuff in to the sea round our shores that hundreds of beaches are losing there blue-flag status because of the pollution being washed up... so its hard to imagine what you're paying for... ancient crumbling infrastructure, chucking all our poo and tampons in the sea, and they manage just about to collect the stuff that seems to constantly pour from the skies down a tap in to our houses... so its all about money everywhere isn't it?... their talking about windfall taxes for the Utilities companies but how about just Nationalising them again ? Do away the rip-off fat-pigs creaming billions in bonuses for ripping-off the public for doing 'not-much' except sending out bills... It is all coming full-circle, the public no longer want Spanish companies owning our water, selling it back to us then ripping everyone off... I'm tired, we're tired and as John Lennon said 'I haven't had a wink', or in this case 'we haven't had a drink of eerrr   water.... 

That is that new music channel on Channel 4 , what's it called, something imaginative like 4 eerrrrmmmm  Music ??!? Davina MacColl, you can’t get away from her ? that constant rocking on the spot, does she has some sort of disorder, I bloody hope so, coz teli needs to be employing more special needs don't they ?  ...the reason they employ her is that she is the daughter of someone famous, nepotism is nice and healthy in TV land, is there no-one else out there that can read an auotcue and stand rocking on the spot in front of a camera ? Where is Claudia Winkleman, now retired to the dead spot on Radio 2, not a very good show because she can’t really perform on Radio , she’s more intelligent, better looking, and quick, than Davina, but doesn’t get the TV jobs because she’s too ‘edgey’... and what is this music channel ?.... 50 best video’s about something ?? yes that's really new stuff isn’t it?,,, its cheap its crap, its Davina MacColl, 3 good reasons never to tune in... I could name 10 but I would have to watch it then wouldn’t I ?

The coverage from The Edinburgh Festival has been dismal hasn’t it?, The Guardian has some ‘feeds’, or blogs or something, but where are people like the ******’ BBC and Channel 4... don’t they get humungous funding for the ‘arts’.. nowhere to be bloody seen, 30 mins from Lauren Laverne in the middle of the night... you think they could stretch to a couple of crew walking round filming some shows, street stuff, and editor to knock it in the shape, and a couple of hours at 9 pm, but instead we get ******’ Big Brother, a load of c***’s that have never done anything, never will, and that no-one is watching anyway... its all about money again isn’t it ?? 500 hours of footage of Leeds & Reading Festivals, mostly a couple of Radio 1 DJ’s sitting on a sofa boring us rigid with their uninformed and dull repartee.. its not that its cheap to produce, its just that TV execs can sell it on relentlessly, re-show it re-cut it, repeat it over-and-over on their sub-channels till we have seen Metallica so many times we think they’re living with us (God ******’ forbid)... you can’t resell new acts, new innovative theatre and dance and comedians can you, now that would be too *****’n difficult for these Oxbridge twats to think about wouldn’t it ???

This chaps articles are always excellent, I don't know where he gets the time to research all this stuff, but, it is a fascinating insight into a Britain long gone and not likely to come back, the news that every one of our Gold medals at the Olympics cost us £9. million (mainly from Lottery funds I think), makes you think that just building new or refurbishing old pools might save a bit of money where people had somewhere proper to train. Great article, I luck the thing about scum-tracks taking away the eerrr scum from the pool as they had no filtration, the pools getting dirtier as the week went on... nnniiicceeee....... thing is about most 'opinion' in newspapers is that it is pretty boring, and subjective, the same old stuff, but this guy is obviously a bit of a swot and packs a punch writing wise - I can forgive him for being Scottish..  The Guardian is my fave newspaper, but I've noticed (probably because they are getting younger!) the Guide and Arts is getting more badly written and full of Charlie Brooker sarcy type asides which is fashionable and brings the whole thing down...  even when they like something it sounds like they're slating it...

I was reading the biz bit of the Guardian, I like it because you can tell what's happening in world news in black & white, because everything boils down to money doesn't it, at the end of the day... who's going bust, credit crunch this, profits that... its about the only music news I get really, because nobody can stand reading about new music can they ?? the same old relentless rubbish paraded out wrapped in new tin foil.. everything is regurgitated isn't it ?? who can listen to new bands, all been to stage school, all preened contrived tosh... there's never ever gonna be another Dylan, Hendrix, Who, so what are they all on about, these music journos trying to give themselves a job, must be hard when you're a frustrated writer... anyway, I was reading about the downturn for Chrysalis music, well I'm not surprised with that new Portishead album to promote, not a tune to be heard.. Poor ol' Beth, luvverly voice, but the pampas grass is whistling across the dunes of eerrr Bristol... what really struck me though was the language they used, the neat little phrases that they have for things,,, describing the 'lose some money to offset taxes' label Echo, as an 'Incubator' label.. well that's fab if your signed to Echo isn't it ??!! your in an 'Incubator' band, not much fat flippen chance for you then, sat on a load of eggs in a hen house in Kent for all your life.. so Echo is 'performing below expectations' well what a bloody surprise, that may be due to the fact that A&R wouldn't have a hope in hell of finding good songs, good bands, and putting them together with some innovative production and making some records that sell,, 'Incubator', more like 'Crapulator'.. maybe I should buy Music week or something, well 'no' that would be even more depressing.. The music business is a bit like the British weather now, there’s the hope of some sun on the way, they promised us global warming, but all we get is rain-rain-rain, the cold sodden drizzel of Coldplay, Amy, and the numbing neu-soul of all the girlies they are trying to off-load in the USA,,, where’s that hen-house ?

well we all know its true, you can only rely on yourself when all the chips are down, not even your ******' Mum & Dad will stick up for you in a fist-fight - its TRUE !!! and here to prove it is the luvverrly new acousto sortof bluesey new stuff I am working my mind through until it all spills out in to some sort of record or something, or a dreadful and violent conflict on the streets of Streatham Vale... in the meantime get down to buy my new album, 'COSMOS' the humungous radio campaign starts for it in the USA this month courtesy of the nice people at Planetary Group in Boston, Taxamachusos, and if you don't listen to the ****** Radio you can always do the lazy thing and just preview tracks at Amazon, CD Baby, iTunes,,, the critics have ******' slated it, but its not ******' Madonna so it must be worth a freckin' looksie can't it ??!!!! ignore the reveiws , its pure jealousy.. you can of-course also see my natty little vidjeo's at mytube.cok as well, get down and say nice things, ppplllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssseeeeeeeeeee!

'Only Friend' - full length vsn

what I like about Pro-Life is the name, they've hijacked something good for something evil, a bit like Hitler's slogans, It's so nice and innocent it could be a little helpful product like Tampons, or a pick-you-up-pill... these nutters, these zealots who wish to strip women of their choices over their own bodies would have all woman in a Republican rally tent somewhere in Indiana, locked up with chastity belts, then if a bit of sperm happens to sliver under the door up their thingy (I'm making this sound even more disgusting than it is), then they'll be held in solitary until the baby can be sucked out under force... whether there's life at conception or not, it is still the personal jurisdiction of women to make up their own minds, that's about all we have left as BB gradually fills up ever part of our lives... I certainly won't be told by some coiffured old bag in Connecticut whether I can have an abortion or not (I may be exaggerating here since I live in East-Sussex, but you get the point!) ... so 'Pro-Life', your'e not Pro-Life', your'e anti life, , so **** John McCain and his bunch of ultra conservative Pro-War, anti-life bigots, leave our language alone..

I watched a bit of Madonna's Lovely Lady Tour last night (actually I don't know what it was called, but it was on one of those channel thingy's whilst I was 'flipping'), you gotta give it to her, she really 'goes', the outfits the dancing and production we're unbelievable good...  she's got no soul , but that was never her thing was it?...  I can barely dance for more than about 30 seconds without feeling faint and throwing up - go Madonna!

Beyonce460

Spot the difference... I was just reading the story about Beyonce and her lovely skin shocker,,, well you know she can do anything with her skin , its a free world, Michael J's done it... not exactly hugely important news is it? but you do wonder what they are thinking of, using a black girl to sell white make-up and hair stuff... is there the presumption that black want to all look like whites, or the other way round... the whiteifying of soul music in this country is making my ******' puke, you can stick Adele and ******' Duffy up yer arse as far as I'm concerned, why listen to that puerile crap when you can listen to the real thing... as for Beyonce, ofcourse its always just about money, but she's hardly doing much for African Americans on the day when I hear that soon white Americans will be overtaken in populus by ethnic Americans.. L'Oreal are having a ******' joke aren't they ? If white's went round trying to look like blacks in adverts people would be peeing there pants with laughter, so why does it work the other way round - do these people know how ridiculous they are making themselves look for another few million quid in their bank accounts?, if they we're going straight out to Africa to give it to Aids orphans there might be some point, but from where I'm standing there's no point in Beyonce and the plastic turd she seems to be wearing on her head in this advert..

as news comes through of Russia battering Georgia from all sides I thought I would include today my fave holiday snaps from my time in Tbilisi !! ... yes, I like to holiday in war zones of the world!! also I've been to Beirut (don't ask!).. nice snaps, wonderful place,,, you get the feeling you are going back in time, and you get the feeling you are going in to some sort of bandit country... typical of the place is that there is a fantastically new Motorway from the Airport built for the George Bush visit (1995 ?),, quite likely with American money, then arriving in the middle of the night I could see people along it and realised that it was little old ladies sweeping it with old fashioned brushes... then long queues of cars, asking the taxi driver he told me they we're taxis waiting at petrol stations in the middle of the night because of fuel shortages... I don't know why I found it weird, that's what the UK will be like before long, along with horse & carts back on the roads..

I particularly like the Abacus in the post-office pici..

its just typical of the British (maybe I should leave the Scottish out of this though, as you can't really count them as truly British can you ??), first thing I see this-morning on the webular is 'our ten worst ever Olympians!'... ******'n great,,, that's the attitude,... don't bother 'bigging up' the brilliant athletes who are out there right now, don't bother publicising the fantastic achievements of winners, and participants... lets have a ******' joke about the ones who have lost,, ha ha ******' ha, that's ******' hilarious,,, along with Big Brother and Gwok ******' fashion Guru we've turned in to a bunch of lazy fat downers who get more entertainment out of who is going to lose... there should be a law made against this.. I for one am very excited, despite the controversy, human rights abuses, smog, no Robert Mugabe at the opening ceremony, and Sarah Brightman singing the introduction theme song... when the clouds lift the building is amazing, the athletes are an inspiration and I'm bigging it up,,, even for the losers, just one minute out there is a huge achievement so go eeeerrr Englerland
