Balance

Ok, apologies for that last blog. But you've got to start somewhere.

Today's sermon shall be on Balance.

I have just, this minute, put an empty can of Sprite in my trash can (or rubbish box, or whatever you limeys call it). Had a Canadian/American/Australian seen this act, then they would have raised their hands to God and pronounced a curse on me. You see, in the above mentioned 'white' peoples countries, recycling is the name of the game. Cans are recycled to save the planet. Hu-bloody-rrah!

Commendable? Somewhat. You see, I look out of my window at work and I have a glorious view of the carpark. Stuffed to overflowing with automobiles with enormous engines. My own auto (or car) has a 3.3 Litre engine. Just below average in size. A 6 Litre engine wouldn't be considered outrageous. A Ford Ka with an nippy 1100 engine? No such thing.

Firstly, what the f*ck do they need such big engines for? There's no hills and the speed limit is 60 kph (about 10 mph). They just pump this shit into the atmosphere because the engines sound nice. Get a CD of 'famous automobile sounds' for Gods sake. Green house gases are screwing the planet as we speak. Total effect of unrecycled Tin cans on the planet - zero. Bugger all. Nada.

You see, no balance.


But mostly, I hate celebrities (the whole balance thing has gone now, this is just a rant).

I hate em with a passion. Take the Oscars for instance. Someone can lie convincingly (at least once out of 50 takes) on screen and they give him a gold statue and 3 billion TV viewers cheer.

What do programmers get? F*ck all. Johnny Depp is 'gifted' and all and yet I'd make a better job of Pirates of the Caribean than he would of writing a Payroll system.

I remember in the good old days when Celebrities (or Minstrels/Bards as they were known) were grateful for an audience, some scraps of bread and a barn to sleep in for the night. Wankers.

You see, no balance.

Oh, and much respect to Ali G for upsetting the Americans (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/050113/325/fa7in.html)
