Well said Mr Benitez

It's about time someone stood up to Alex (twat face) Ferguson, so it's very refreshing to hear Rafael Benitez unleashing the truth at last. All refs are biased in favour of Man Utd. (How much injury time do you want Mr Ferguson? When would you like your penalty Mr Ferguson?) . Man Utd win games by hounding the ref and the other officials, usually at half time so that they are influenced for the second half. Benitez is correct in saying that Twat Face always goes unpunished for the bollocks he comes out with about referees. The FA are scared of him as his is the most powerful club in the county (probably in the world), and as such has a huge influence
It looks like the scum are going to win the league again this season, and it's not deserved, so lets hope Liverpool continue playing well, and beat them this time!

Crime

Which is more serious; Drugs or litter? Fraud or Speeding? The answers are obvious of course, but has anyone told the police?
Look at the extraordinary lengths that Hackney council are using to catch litter louts, maybe they should spend that money on the drugs problem. I don't mean chasing the dealers, but support for the victims and their families. If you inform the police of drug dealers in your area, they just say "Thank You" and do nothing. The plain fact is that it is EASY to catch litter louts, and very to DIFFICULT to catch drug dealers.
Whilst I'm on about this; what about the thousands of speed cameras we now have? These are simply a revenue generating scheme and have nothing to do with road safety. The boy racers know where the camera are, and the only people caught are those unfamiliar with the roads, doing 40 in a 30 zone.
I'm just off to do some shopping now, I'll drive to ASDA at 31mph and chuck a newspaper out of the car on the way. I'll probably end up in jail. Or perhaps I'll become a real criminal, and then the police wont touch me.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.
I have had a great Christmas and New Year. in fact, I'm so happy, I cant think of anything to moan about! Not being able to moan is a bit depressing for me, but I expect something will crop up in the next few days. I need to explore the outer limits of the M25 again on Tuesday, so I'm bound to be spending a few hours in a queue!

Christmas

So Christmas is over for another year. Pretty shitty for some; I can think of Woolworths for example. What a shame Woolies is no more, lets hope someone resurrects it in some shape or form in the near future. They are still going Strong in the USA and a few other countries, so they're not yet dead! Happy new year, it can only get better (?)

Employment agencies

Aren't employment agencies a pain? I dont think the expression "I'm not interested in that job" is fully understood. We all need to make a living, but when they keep on calling you, it stops you working properly. I've suffered as a client too; we were sent some terrible candidates, and allways took the people who applied directly to the advertisment on our website as they were much better.

Passwords

My MINT credit card uses some new type of security for on-line shopping, in that as well as having to type in the card number expiry date and security code, I have to type in a password too. However, they don't want you to type in the whole password, they want the 3rd, 5th and 8th characters (these numbers change each time). So whats the best way to determine the 3rd, 5th and 8th characters? Write it down. We are told never to write passwords down. You can reset your password, so I do this every time with random keystrokes on the keyboard. So what is the point? Is this any more secure? Sorry MINT, but I wont be using your card any more. Come on guys; keep it simple!
Oh yes and another moan about MINT: They don't have an email address, you have to contact them via a premium rate 0870 number - bloody crooks!

Facebook, what's the point?

Against my better judgement, I joined Facebook yesterday. I cancelled my membership today. Maybe it's just for teenagers, but I just don't get it. Are we all so insecure that we need to know exactly what our friends are doing, and even what they are thinking? I was going to use it to allow old friends to contact me, but I think I'll stick with Friends Reunited. Who chose to have things like a "poke" and "spanking" on the site? Employers often look up potential staff on Facebook, so watch what you put on it, or you may not get that job you wanted.
