Hello again dear reader,

I have once again endeavoured to write a Christmas message not filled with hate and aggression but with joy and frivolity, but looking at my notes this certainly isn’t the case.  For me this has been an interesting year, both for this website and in my life.  I’ve started new ventures, met some great people through twitter, became even more obsessed with it and started to write more articles that are less angry, but still the purpose of this site remains the same.

For 2010, the plan is to expand the site more and also make sure that I continue with the pod-casting, I appreciate that they aren’t all that regular at the moment and I’m sorry that there won’t be a Christmas edition, I just simply don’t have the free time at the moment.  I’ve barely found time to post in the past few months. I will be making a change in this area.  I have plenty of ideas of what to write about in the next few months, so you can expect a post every week from now onwards!

Well this year has been a funny one, not much has happened per-say, I mean the world is still revolving and the sun still shines but nothing of merit has occurred, except maybe Rage Against the Machine getting to number one in the U.K for Christmas something which I am incredibly pleased about.  I dislike over produced pop-crap so much it make my blood boil.  I don’t think I could stand to listen to Joe McElderry for any longer than thirty seconds without wanting to extract my eyes with a blunt penguin (yes I imagine that would hurt a fair bit). I truly believe that RATM getting to number one is a triumph for music and proof that the Public are not as stupid as we think they are.  Of course, if you do like X-Factor you probably are a bit ‘Special’.

We shall see what 2010 brings, it’s going to be an interesting year.  So sit back, relax, have a drink on me and enjoy/endure the season of goodwill with just that.

Merry Christmas

It’s that time of year again! December is upon and in just 24 days it will be Christmas and the year will be over again.  As you can see the Christmas theme for this year has been launched and minus a few tweaks it will be around until new years day.  I’m at that point now that I hate, I have lots of shopping to do and you, dear reader know how much I despise that past time.

I’ve already had a run-in with a shopper last week at Birmingham’s Glorious German Market, of course I was as ever minding my own business when some oath pushed in-front of me and stole my place in the bratwusrt queue, of course being the fattie that I am, my stomach took an instant disliking to this chap.  I could feel the churning starting, the vitriol beginning to rise in my throat, threatening act as a rudimentary weapon of mass destruction.  I took a step back out of pity for this man who was about to feel the force of my guts.

Thank god for him he didn’t feel it.  All was well.
