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.

Alien threat would end the slump

okaaaaay ? what?

So, working with the notion that peak debt and peak oil possibly mean peak civilisation — and that there’s no World War II style economic kick coming around the corner — Paul Krugman’s decided that there might just be some logic in staging a fake alien attack on the world. You know, to get the economy going.



And if you thought that was just a non-challant remark, meanwhile — and that he’s just messing with our brains — Krugman’s referred back to his fake alien attack idea at least twice since then on his New York Times blogs.

On Value

"Value" has no meaning other than in relationship to living beings. The value of a thing is always relative to a particular person, is completely personal and different in quantity for each living human—"market value" is a fiction, merely a rough guess at the average of personal values, all of which must be quantitatively different or trade would be impossible. [...] This very personal relationship, "value", has two factors for a human being: first, what he can do with a thing, its use to him… and second, what he must do to get it, its cost to him. There is an old song which asserts that "the best things in life are free". Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted… and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears."

Annoying things about living in England 14,327 - Cricket

I don't understand cricket, I don't know why 2 teams would play in the same colour. I don't understand how you can play a game for 4 fcuking days and get a draw!!! 


I really really don't fcuking care that England are now the best out of the 6 or so nations that play fcuking cricket if you go by something called 20/20 rankings. I don't know what the fcuk 20/20 rankings are either.


Cricket is worse than cancer, it's like getting AIDs every time you cross the border.
