Just accidentally watched a bit of The Wright Way. Good job there's alcohol in the house, else I'd have to beat myself to death with the nearest spoon.

Oh, Ben Elton, why? Most spectacular fall from grace ever, y/y?

Apparently kids posing for photos with the Easter Bunny is A Thing, like visiting Santa at Christmas? It is not something I was aware of, though as a big fan of the Ancient Pagan Festival of Chocolate I approve ( Read more... )

Now that I work in a library I'm all intellectual and stuff, so unsuprisingly my current reading matter of choice is the House of Night series. In the one I'm reading now some folks are off to Skye, what is actually the sekkrit ancient seat of the Queen of Vampyre (lol) warriors who will burn you up soon as you set foot on her realm ( Read more... )

No doubt you're all well aware of my Tory hating ways, but I don't think I've yet shared with you the special loathing I habour for that insufferable gobshite, Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education and all-round fuckwit.

Depressingly predictable more than shocking, but still raised my hackles: Tampon Makers Can't Mention the V-Word. Period. Of course, I'm one of those people whose prefectly happy to own a vagina, but don't want to hear that sort of language, of course. *crossface ( Read more... )

You know what I like? A nice gooey slice of Schadenfreude Pie. Which is why I'm so happy to see a particularly inane bit of icon wankery make Fandom Wank. (Seriously, go read it - if you don't laugh like a drain you are dead inside.) I also enjoyed seeing the author of this super stupid article on the RATM v X Factor Christmas Number One battle ( Read more... )

I saw this and couldn't NOT share it with the group. Not that any of you will thank me for it.

This news story has made me unreasonably angry:

Banksy Mural Ruined by Mistake

FSM, there are some idiots at Hackney Council. I feel so sad for the woman whose building got ruined by them. I hope she kicks their arses.
