I saw a friend of mine the other day, and he told me that my eyes were gleaming Oh, I said that I had been away and he knew the depths I was meaning And it felt so good to see his face or the comfort invested in my soul Oh, to feel the warmth of a smile when he said: ‘I’m happy to have you home. Oh, I’m happy to have you home’.

I’ve noticed that when absolutely everything is shit, only one thing can make it better - friends.
So I’ve had a bit of a ‘fuck it’ moment. Fuck everything. Can’t be arsed caring anymore!
It’s been a while, but I’m back. Let’s get smashed man…

Not fit to wear the shirt
Whilst it hurts that we have gifted Manchester City their first title in over 30 years (sorry Stoke and Bolton), it is no more than we have deserved this season. We have too many players who just don’t deserve to wear the shirt.
So many players today just couldn’t do anything right. O’Shea, Nani, Carrick, Berbatov, Scholes, Valencia.
List of players not fit to wear the shirt,...

In response to a typical journos response to the Manchester United ‘media blackout’.
I am struggling to see how not talking to the media is disrespectful for Manchester United fans? No one wants to hear the same old typical response to the same old mundane questions week in and week out. And seen as you are not actually allowed to say anything remotely negative before both the media,...

Southampton council force pay cuts
…But it’s not as bad as it sounds.
Ofcourse cuts have been made, but with forced pay cuts they estimate they can keep a further 400 jobs. Why is council employees earning over £60,000 p/a taking a 5% pay cut to save 400 jobs a bad thing? Come on! Get a grip!
Americans are hilarious

Although, on a more serious note, he seems like a normal guy who has been forced into extreme measures. It’s crazy.

How to make life harder than what it needs to be
Quit university to stop all loans, grants and bursaries meaning you quickly have to find a job to address the issue that your expenditure is now double your income.
It’s fun though.
So then...
…I’m a university drop out. You don’t know how refreshing that feels.
Now to just deal with this small issue of the fact I’m haemorrhaging money. An expenditure about double my income, per month. Let’s get this shit sorted.
It feels like I’ve cut a dead weight loose. I’m so happy!
Kids, do not go to university. Especially the University of Leeds.
While Muslim sexual predators have been jailed, it...
A genuine Daily Mail headline. I shit you not. Crazy.
I swear to God that when University is done for good I’ll be taking six to twelve months off. This shit is just not my thing. I’m exhausted.
BBC Sound of 2011
BBC, please stop trying to make out you are ‘ahead of the game’ with your ‘Sound of’ polls. Picking out artists all signed to major labels with previous single releases and albums due in the first half of 2011 is certainly not ahead of the game.
You are clearly going with the safest bets rather than the experiment kids who make music from mud flaps and tin whistles and put...

Looking at football suspensions differently
Just read a tweet from Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas that states he is at home because he can’t fly to Wigan (the next Arsenal game) due to suspension. And that put a thought into my head.
Now I’m not sure why Fabregas is suspended, but my immediate thought would be five yellow cards in the season. And when looking at it from a blank perspective - missing a game because you’ve...
Some companies really do need lessons in how to keep staff happy and motivated.
If anyone who like to know the greatest ever prank I have pulled, listen up.
Whilst working in a certain department store, I drew a big penis (assisted by another certain employee) on to blank till roll and placed it into the printer. So when an unwitting member of staff put something through the till, the receipt printed out with a penis drawn over the top of it.
Admittedly, that was probably a...
