AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH FACEBOOK BOLLOCKS FCUK!

So


In the 'people you might know' section of facebook up pops what appears to be a 14 year old girl. Why would I know a 14 year old girl? Oh I see I have a friend in common... a friend in common with a 14 year old girl? who is that...? my idiot brother maybe? I shall click on the friend in common and see who it is. 


Except I didn't click friend in common, I clicked send creepy stalkerish old man friend request to young girl!. Of course I can't for the life of me find a 'people you have begged to like you' section so I can't even find this girl to send a message saying "sorry meant to click something else, please ignore me until you're at least 25 and are having issues with your dad"

YOU FCUKS ARE GOING TO GET IT!

All right youtube, this has been brewing for a bit. When I am waiting for a big pot of chilli for one to boil over and make a huge mess of the kitchen so I know it is ready, and I want to titter like a giddy school girl, then I will likely turn to you for some family guy clips or a hilarious montage of star wars clone troopers blasting people to some hefty rock track.

I realise you are putting adverts at the start of things now to try to make some money out of hosting everyone's videos, bit annoying but, okay, I can get on board with that, paying for youtube with the tears of blood that shitt upbeat american adverts for shitt you can't get in the UK cause.

WHAT IS NOT COOL HOWEVER, IS W@NK STAIN IN CHIEF IAN WRIGHT, DANCING AROUND FLOGGING CHICKEN TONIGHT. CHICKEN TONIGHT? WHO THE FCUK EVEN STOCKS THAT ANYMORE? YOU'RE DEAD TO ME YOUTUBE! YOU HEAR ME! DEAD TO ME!

On Power

The genuine role of the media, the role it must adopt if society is to function in a practically and morally coherent way, is to reveal power, to pester power, to hound it with questions. Because power cannot be trusted.

Perhaps we don't need a state to provide a court system?

via Lawyerwatch

lawyer watch picked up on Centre for Justice a while ago, thier site is here. It describes tiself as;


Centre for Justice is a new adjudication service fr public, business and government. The Centre adjudicates nearly all types of legal claim and dispute and is a modern, straightforward and effective alternative to the courts.
It appears that a claimant approaches the centre who assign an assessor to investigate the matter and then some sort of arbitration takes places (yes yes my views of arbitration are well recorded). The centre is a not for profit and (says it is) independent. I am interested to see how it progresses and whether the law Society will shitt a brick and try to have such activities banned or reserved to the good old guild of solicitors.

The Bar council might go for this because the kind of wig jockey who does not get instructed much often takes the view that he would make an amazing mediator (eh Jayers) and this sort of institution may provide an alternative career.
