Dog-lovers desert RSPCA

The dogs … were killed with a captive bolt gun of the kind used in abattoirs to stun livestock before slaughter.

via Times Online.

I never have and never would support the fabulously rich RSPCA. Seeing that EIGHT people said this was good just makes me glad I didn’t and ensures I never will.

Griffin2

There is a stunning number of non-white people being asked about Nick Griffin. Statistically it is twisted. You could even say it is engineered.

Why did he have to give exact answers when no other politician in the history of the BBC (save the Paxman interview) has had that requirement?

Why did the BBC and why do they still keep up the self-promotion. If ITV had done this it would have been a nothing?

Why does one man still dominate the entire news schedule despite the rest of crap going on? Why? Because the BBC are controlled by either the big banks or politicians and they both want people to look the other way.

I’m ashamed that I am forced by law to prop up this bigoted organisation.

Griffin

Having had streaming news – apart from a break to watch a film because it was boring – it seems that the BNP have today occupied more BBC time that the events of 9/11.

Nice work Mr Griffin.

And to those protesting, be sure to do the same when your representatives who are convicted terrorists or terrorist sympathisers are invited to speak anywhere outside of their home / cell / whatever.

And here was me thinking I lived in a democracy, that I had freedom of speech. Okay, so it’s an illusion but it was a fairly level illusion. And now I have to watch groupie stoners on TV drawling on about their rights. Can someone out some flowers in the greasy lanky hair?

And to those of a religious bent – which of course includes the CofE and Catholics – your faiths are not based on peace love and equality either so go STFU please.

And unless you here people speak you can’t know what they think. And because of that you can’t counter it. So let the man speak. It’s just words.

Lose the face

“You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks! ”
Steve Martin. Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

There is a forum I frequent and one of the posters there annoys me. A lot. Every word he writes annoys me. And the forum uses avatars. (not gravatars, though this works for them). So not only do I read his words I have to see his “fucking dumb-ass smile”. Right-click, get the image address, open Adblock and create a new rule with that address. No more “rosey, fucking, cheeks” :)
Adblock – it’s not just for Google.

xbox+twitter=cost more

The upcoming Xbox 360 system update will introduce Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm functionality to Xbox Live, among other features. EDGE

So that’s why it’s never appealed as a games machine – because it isn’t one. Is there anywhere online not infected by twitter and facebook? Yes – Sony’s (free) PSN. Microsoft must be “adding value” before they hike the Live charges. So you’ll be paying to use Twitter? Mad.

The harem

If I can I name machines. Partly because you get the option when setting up a network and partly because working out what the problem is can be easier when referring to a name. Has been for me anyway. You know if you are using Jabber and you get the user info? Check the Resource tab – you can usually find the name of someone’s machine (at least I can with our work jabbers). It’s boring to see some sort or serial or “mark’s laptop” so I thought I’d name all mine. And to give me as wide a range as possible I decided on names of ladies I like. ‘Like’ is also spelled ‘Lust after’ (except for 1) :). So here they are:

Mini1 – Claire (character in Hollyoaks)
Mini2 – Natalie (Portman)
HD1 – Rachel (Weisz)
HD2 – Carrie (Gracie – BBC News Presenter)
iPod Touch – Uma (Thurman)
PSP1 – Reiko (Nagase – Ridge Racer)
PSP2 – Angelina (Jolie)
Router – Amanda (Redman + a girl I used to work with)
PC – Sigourney (Weaver)
Mac Laptop – TP-T (Tara Palmer-Tomkinson)
PC Laptop – Helen (Mirren)

Next names in the queue: Emily (Maitlis – BBC News Presenter), Samantha. I’ve forgotten which one right now. And no, they were not named so that when they crashed I could say something like “Claire has gone down on me”. Such teenage humour..
