In Case You Ever Wondered

If the Xbox Live thing down the right hand side would ever do anything... Today it does :)

Today I got myself a nice new shiny xbox 360 :)

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Get one yourself and join myself and other sad muppets with nothing better to do than play "murder simulators" as some Daily Mail readersmight think. But in reality these games do not teach me how to murder any better than playing a golf game will improve my swing.

I mean really who uses a mouse to kill people nowadays anyway, especially now that most of them are wireless you can`t even strangle anyone with it.

If you want something to blame may I suggest taking a look at the parents who buy little 12 year old billy that game that he keeps going on about, the one with those ugly creatures with their odd looking guns. But still it'll keep billy happy quiet, and more importantly out of the parents way So they can get on and watch the latest Soap/US hit TV show.

Billy, meanwhile, is building pipe bombs.

Slow down

In the past we have had many government funded campaigns to reduce your speed whilst driving, each one has focused on some aspect of speeding that may tempt BMW drivers to slow down to just above the speed limit.

We have the foolspeed campaign highlighting the risks of not being able to slow down when someone leaps out in front of your car. BMW drivers care not a jot, except for having to turn on their wipers a little

More recently I noticed an attack on the wallet. If you slow down you will save fuel (and hence cash). Again this is doomed to failure If you are able to afford a BMW, and indeed foolish enough to part with the cash to own you, you are unconcerned where you money goes.

Now I have thought of a campaign that will get to the mindset of the BMW driver, and more importantly the mindset of the average driver, especially as this can be directed at said BMW drivers.

Slow down, it'll piss of the driver of the cars behind you.

See clearly this is a winner as nothing excites us more that annoying anyone we can, and in particular that git in his Beemer who seems hell bent on driving his car into your boot.

So there you have it a real reason to slow down

A Celebration of Britishness

apparently we aren`t British enough. We should embrace our flag and celebrate what it means to be British (Never mind the fact that we are already "Great")

So we are going down the path of celebrating something that makes us different from the rest of the world, something that marks us out as special? Something that divides us a species on a small round planet hurtling through the vast void of space, where you cannot see a border, flags or people. I don`t see us hurriedly suggesting that we should celebrating Earthling Day.

To start with I guess we have to understand what exactly does it mean to be British? Does our cricket team have our uncompromising support every tour? Do we celebrate a major historical victory?

ultimately what makes most Brits "British" is that on this fair, green and pleasant land.

our parents fucked.
