BILE OVERLOAD

Contrary to appearances I don't actually like hating things. It would be delightful to live in a world where governments were halfway competent, where TV was consistently interesting, informative, entertaining and didn't treat you like a fucking four year old with the attention span of a fish. I'm very sure it wouldn't be at all boring because the

Sometimes it's nice to enjoy an evening without finishing another bottle of rageohol. Except it may lead to introspection about behaviour the rest of the time.

The second part of that is easy to get round, as I'm a member of a couple of those private bittorrent sites that, like Fight Club, we are Not Allowed To Talk About. Thanks to my hard drive and my little Western Digital widget, I have recently been watching a diet of documentaries about Richard Feynman, Spike Milligan's Q series and a whole load of 30-odd year old news bulletins and adverts (about which I'll be blogging soon, once I'm back from my upcoming dirty weekend ;) ).

Oh, if it's any consolation my Aunt from Sheffield says Clegg's name is absolute mud in his constituency right now.

The only people Sheffielders hate more than Nick at teh moment is Paul Scriven. They everso nearly managed to kick him out of the Town Hall into Westminster.

Who's Katy Perry?

I gave up my television licence the day after the World Cup finished. I haven't missed it at all.

*raises hand sheepishly* I actually don't generally hate things and do tend to follow the 'not worth getting your knickers in a twist over' approach (hormones permitting). Of course I'm a complete pushover who can't even bring myself to use the word hate on people who have personally injured me :/

I suppose it could be worse (inverting the ratio between individual popularity and quantity of speakers): pwsnt... America, I am disappoint.

Hoooooo boy. Your icon read to me on first pass as "I will show you a world of Palin." Do. Not. Want.
