So
Farewell then
Adam Crozier

You were useless
But now we have some Canadian bird
Paid half a million quid
Instead of you

She can't fuck it up
Any worse
Than you did

I once had the misfortune of spending six months at the Post Office working on their computerised handling systems. I can honestly say that Crozier and cronies were the worst management team I ever worked with.

No, scratch that. Microsoft were worse - but then that's not saying much when you think about it.

ICON RUE MCCLANAHAN DIES AT AGE 76

Rue McClanahan

Golden Girl Rue McClanahan died today of a major stroke in New York City. The star died at a hospital in New York, surrounded by her family. She was 76 years old. Born Eddi-Rue McClanahan, the star enjoyed a show business career spanning more than five decades. She began acting on the New York stage in the 1950s and made her Broadway debut in 1969 in the musical Jimmy Shine, opposite Dustin Hoffman. Her screen breakthrough came in 1970 when she landed a role on the soap opera Another World and she went on to star in another popular TV show, Where the Heart Is, before she was cast in hit 1970s sitcom Maude. McClanahan’s most infamous role was as man-crazed Blanche Devereaux in The Golden Girls, in which she starred with Betty White, Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty. The show first aired in 1985 and ran for seven years, earning her an Emmy Award in 1987 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She successfully battled breast cancer in 1997 but her later years were marred by ill health and she underwent triple bypass surgery in 2009, before suffering a minor stroke last January. She was married six times and is survived by her son, Mark Bish, from her first marriage to Tom Bish. She separated from her sixth husband, Morrow Wilson, earlier this year. White, who is the last surviving star of The Golden Girls, has paid tribute to her late friend. A statement from the 84-year-old actress reads, "Rue was a close and dear friend. I treasure our relationship. It hurts more than I ever thought it would, if that’s even possible." It has been a rough three years for fans of the hit television show, Estelle Getty died in 2008 and Bea Arthur lost a battle with cancer last year.

Merry Christmas everybody!!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!

Do WHAT!?!

Has all this blogging finally sent me over the edge?

Well, no actually. We all know that Christmas comes but once a year, Apparently what we didn't know is that the annual retail bunfest and general religious travesty has already started.

"Rubbish", I hear you say.

But yes - I saw my first Christmas advertisement on the TV yesterday on ITV2 during a break in the Jeremy Kyle show.

So while it's true that Christmas only comes but once a year, it would appear that it now starts on the 2nd June and lasts seven months...

Whoever said God doesn't have a sense of humour?

Whoever said God doesn't have a sense of humour?

No!

Explain it to me :

Exactly which bit of the word "NO" is it that you fucking dickheads don't understand

On the global front, I was appalled to hear that several people had been killed trying to take aid to the Gaza strip after the ships had clearly been told "NO" by the Isreali blockade.

On the home front, the cabin staff - or should that be cabin cases - at BA were clearly told "NO - you will not retain your travel perks if you go on strike." So what do these prats do? They go on strike to get the perks back they were told they would lose if they went on strike in the first place. Duh!.....

On the micro front, my neighbour won't talk to me because I told him "NO - you may not park your car on the parking place that I own."

Never mind the me generation - we live in the "won't be told NO" generation.

What the fuck is the matter with these people?! It's a simple word, two letters, one syllable.

Accept it, get over it, grow up and move on!...
