PS..and another thing

Why is it whenever I go to the airport its clogged up by the same people who protested about the new terminal, a bunch of nouveau hippies all scorching up the carbon as they fly off back to Goa. To balance up the karma maybe they could save a few animals by donating thier own sun leathered hides to make boots and handbags instead.

Green: the colour of hypocrisy

Why is that these people who bang on about green issues seem to be amongst the worst culprits. Global warming and all that is purely down to western levels of consumption. The type of people who drone on and on about it tend to be the very ones who adore the idea of consumption themselves, as full on gas guzzling mall dwelling yummy mummy and designer daddy lifestyle luvvie consumers. They go on and on about these problems while conveniently ignoring the fact that they are the problem, defining themselves with thier choice of mass produced products. If you want to do something about it then stop being the ideal capitalist consumer obsessed by the kind of idea of 'style' thats sold to you by TV and magazines.

Isnt actually the bloke who just walks down his simple brilliant crap local pub every night, who wears the same simple brilliant crap clothes for years and just eats simple brilliant crap seasonal british food like potatoes and parsnips and sprouts and bacon and is perfectly happy with a pint of simple brilliant crap english lager or bitter and a simple brilliant crap english pub conversation for entertainment, isnt he, doing what weve quietly done for centuries, far more eco friendly?

So if you want to waffle on about it green issues fine, travel by bus and train, forget about 'labels' and 'designers', buy mainly second hand clothes, become mainly a vegetarian, do without a million cleaning and grooming products, eat food from this country, wash your dishes and clothes without a machine, buy milk and juice in bottles not cartons, do without other disposable products like disposable nappies for instance, stop buying newspapers like the Guardian with its whole forest full of supplements, shop at places you can walk to, only eat food that your great grandmother would have eaten, start your own allotment and yes that does mean virtually becoming a hippy. If you cant bring yourself to try and do most of that you should really just shut the fuck up.

dawn of the dead

I spent twenty five minutes gazing at a power cleaner in Homebase on bank holiday monday. Its all over for me now isn't it.

Random Rant of the Day: The Panel on X Factor; The People Who Destroyed British Pop

Why are we expected to listen to the opinions on pop music of the people who, far from doing any good work in the British pop industry have almost actually destroyed it, done thier best to drag it back from the heights of the Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Punk, New Romantics, Rave, even Britpop etc, which sold all over the globe and made British youth culture world famous , back to the dreadful days of the 1950s tawdry manufactured show biz tat which no one abroad gives a toss about, of course, why should they, when they have thier own manufactured banal pap to contend with.

Sorry about the longest sentence in the world, a natural side effect of the act of ranting.
