Don't mess up my baby

My grandma actually introduced me to this article, she’s pretty brainwashed by the telegraph and described it to me as him killing dozens of people. What a load of shit.

Anyway here’s aforementioned article:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/features/8584371/Pete-Doherty-who-will-stop-the-Pied-Piper-of-heroin.html

These two biased journalists portrayed Doherty as a drug lord killing all those in his path. He pushed them from tower blocks, gave them overdoses and brainwashed them when the reality is far from this twisted truth.

Sure Doherty is a bit of a dick, I certainly don’t idolise him but the telegraph snootys wrote: ‘Freddy McConnel looked “angelic”: the neighbours say it; the photos prove it. His parents talk tenderly of their “staggeringly bright”, “deliciously naughty” boy, the teenager who had the talent to be a novelist, the baby who would “sing” to them in his cot.’ When in reality he was just a student who listened to music spending daddies money on narcotics, influenced by those closest to him. Not Doherty.

Case number 2 consists of somebody falling out of a window at a house party, and case number three is a girl who overdosed with a guy. Perhaps the telegraph should point the finger at preppy teens spending all daddies money on coke rather than pointing the finger at someone who obviously has no control over what they do.

Ask Google

It seems to me with the birth of the internet that exams are now pointless in the sense of testing students on their knowledge. Instead they test on to what extent we can remember the mark scheme from last year’s exams; making it a battle of memory not knowledge. Exams are now just a way of showing that you have a brain and know where to gather information. Is there really a need to know everything now, when you can just Google it? perhaps this old fashioned ranking system needs an update with the times.

Now we’re cooking on radiation

100 years ago the average time to cook a meal was an hour, to the modern day person  taking 15 minutes out of there life to heat food seems an overwhelming inconvenience. Supermarkets bully high street shops into closing down with their vast tarmac savannas and ‘low’ prices, but what effect has this had on us consumers? We strife through the aisles looking for something to fill our stomachs with; our only objectives being price and speed. No wonder the UK spends an estimated 1.8 billion pounds a year on ready meals; surprisingly this doesn’t come as a shock to most of us.

But the issue of time doesn’t have to result in watching Jamie Oliver dribble in pictures of his latest book, instead children should be forced to take food technology at least up to a GCSE level. Perhaps this would lead not to an interpretation of cooking as adding a premade sauce to pasta or sprinkling watercress over an M&S ready meal.

The future of food doesn’t look like farm produce for all, instead mega factories churning out slop, but it will be able to be heated in two minutes so that makes it okay.

slave to apple

wonder if when the iphone 5 comes out everyone will pay half a grand to update their phone for a slightly higher megapixel camera. It's not even a case of keeping up with the Jones's , just brainwashing.

wanna fill in a direct debit?

I think street buskers and charity workers are the reason I feel the need to speed walk round town (and especially Leeds), in Halifax I have actually been in the situation where I can see five green shelter types stood in a line, it’s almost like a game of rugby, with me trying to get my soul to the dentist (yeah I would class the dentist as a better character), trying to keep right to the right, nearly knocking into the wind shelters at café Nero and leaving all those less fortunate behind me. Anyway back to the point….

 You can’t make it from one store to another without being bombarded with claims that you are the killer of children and Leeds students badly singing covers of songs because they spent all their money at bargain booze (which isn’t even that cheap). I don’t feel sorry for the charity people as they get paid. I think the shopping streets would be much happier places without either of these, and that the recent ban in Manchester of ‘charity muggers’ should be followed everywhere. Street performers should just get a job or go back to their mansion.
