or, twats.

“the review is the biggest independent inquiry into primary education in four decades, based on 28 research surveys, 1,052 written submissions and 250 focus groups. it was undertaken by 14 authors, 66 research consultants and a 20-strong advisory committee at cambridge university, led by professor robin alexander, one of the most experienced educational academics in the country.

last night the review’s conclusions were backed by every education union in england, but rejected by ministers…”

an extra 2 written submissions would have done it.

as armando iannucci said: i don’t know much about art, but i know what i like – and i’d like to kick damien hirst in the stomach.”

and from ben goldacre:

“damien hirst is a giant cock: cock, cockety, cock.“

he fails again.

“at paddington station in london today, the prime minister said: “this is the future. it is green, it is faster and it’s more reliable. this is about making the railways fit for the 21st century.”"

no. it isn’t.

maglev is the future you twat.

me.

i must have spent about twenty minutes trying to undo this plug. the solar-panel-ish looking thing on the bottom right is a heat mat for the scorpion tank. the friday afternoon work avoidance saga started when i came back from the pet shop with some new substrate (basically bedding) changing from woodchips to a more humid-friendly cocofibre.

more-ton. zing.

i considered not having her as a twat, but went with my gut. and i’m struggling not to write something about her doing the same.

let me explain. my knowledge of samantha morton is limited to: she was in minority report, did a very good job in longford, i heard her on the today programme yesterday (0845), and newsnight review last night.

it was yesterday’s interview that cemented her as a twat. during her recount of her childhood in care, the question was inevitably raised of baby p. her response was close to “i think we can call him baby peter now“.

what fucking difference does that make? it may seem a minor point, but calling him ‘baby peter’ changes nothing. and frankly you have to be a retard not to work out that p stands for a very narrow list of boy’s names. unless he was called ptolemy.

another thing. if you’re going to be interviewed by kirsty wark, at least run a comb through your hair.

hazel blears

“i understand entirely why the public hates this. the system is wrong.”

oh you twat. i’ve been meaning to post about this for a few days but each day another fucking twat comes along and delays me. blears will represent them.

i’m reminded of ‘just following orders’.

“ya, ve vere ordered to zmother those babies and poop in der kots. i understand why ze public hates zis. ze zystem is wrong.”

take that, establishment.

i was listening to the today programme this morning and there was a story about rape.

“the psychic complexes of errant young girls and women coming before the courts, led them frequently to contrive false charges of sexual abuse by men as a result of women’s probably universal fantasies of being raped.“

cheers, today/wiki.

twat.

what a hero.

i couldn’t help but cement my opinion that people who read tabloids, apart from the obvious tardation, should be ’stopped’ somehow. a simple news search would have highlighted just how fucking naive you have to be to read ‘the mirror’ et al.

breathe in that headline. “fairytale episode at last for a fighter“.

even better: “goody definitively showed us all exactly what she’s made of.”

…

piece of shit

cheers to the man/woman who put together the exercise bike i got from the charity shop and has lasted all of a month (i’ve had it longer, but didn’t use it).

i realise that £30 is cheap and what-did-i-expect, but after cracking the case i discovered that the ‘resistance’ was offered by something similar to dental floss.
