I watched a bit of TV before I went to bed last night, Britain’s Streets of Vice, presented by the pious Sally Magnusson. Only the BBC would have a joyous Songs of Praise presenter front a program about something deemed so unholy. Like the program before it, Skint, it provides BBC viewers like myself with… Continue reading Prostitution in Sheffield

Charles and Camilla
It’s difficult to know from which angle to approach the Charles and Camilla announcement, recently I’ve taken to insults and abuse which achieves little apart from making me feel better in what is essentially a struggle that will probably never succeed. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a self serving gormless twat, and she’s just… Continue reading Charles and Camilla
There’s always one isn’t there?
I was watching the news last night and was particularly interested in the story about the flooding in Cumbria. Within seconds of the footage starting I’m in a seething rage as I spot some smartarse in a canoe. There’s always one isn’t there? He’s probably not even local to the flooding, just saw it on… Continue reading There’s always one isn’t there?
I hate Top Gear
I hate Top Gear. Why do I watch it? Because I hate it so much that’s why. It encompasses everything I deplore about that section of society I dislike so much in one neat package. Usually there’s a bit of good and bad in everything, but I can quite honestly put my hand on my… Continue reading I hate Top Gear
Question time in Miami
I’m watching Question time which this evening is being broadcast from Miami in The United States. It doesn’t work quite so well there as the Audience can’t grasp the concept of one person talking at a time, which is a shame because it’s turned into a barroom shouting match. It’s a shame to hear the… Continue reading Question time in Miami
Jonathon Ross isn’t funny
Jonathon Ross. The Noel Gallagher interview was embarrassing even by southern standards. Avocado salad? Give the licence payers valuable money to the genius that is Ray Mears.
Rolf’s Animal Hospital
I didn’t think it was possible but it seems so, it can actually get worse. Monday night on BBC1 and what do we have? The making of Rolf’s Animal Hospital. As if the original serious wasn’t bad enough, they make a program containing interviews with self-important David Brent producers telling us it was great television.… Continue reading Rolf’s Animal Hospital
Rainbow & the Cambodia incursion
I’ve downloaded the theme tune to the seminal kids TV program Rainbow, remember that? Life was so simple wasn’t it? The theme tune even has a guitar solo and slow verses as well as a lovely rounded mono sound to add to the joyous melody. Whilst looking for it I stumbled across an American website… Continue reading Rainbow & the Cambodia incursion
A new role for the Windsors
The concept of celebrity has exploded over the past decade into something of its own industry. Whilst being a footballer or pop star used to allow for a certain amount of star status, now being famous is usually enough to guarantee an individual the position of ‘Celebrity’. For some this is a handy way to… Continue reading A new role for the Windsors
The latest offering from the BBC
Rail Cops. It’s called, Rail Cops. This is the latest insult from the BBC, what should essentially be an outstanding broadcasting institution the envy of the world over. I’m watching it now and it makes the expression ‘Shit pump’ more relevant than ever. This is the level to which the BBC has finally sunk, it’s… Continue reading The latest offering from the BBC
