Quote of the Day 22.1.2007

"Jade Goody is a revolting chav. She and her mermidons (none of whom look half as good without make-up as the divine Shilpa - miss England my Arse) were rude to a bollywood princess. Were Jade to be rude to me, I would take it as a compliment. Jade and her ilk do not like educated people, and lack the knowlege to interact with people from different cultures. This isn't racism - ignorance yes. It reflects badly on Jade and her appalling mother and on the UK's education system. It is inverse snobbery that creatures like Jade use to mask their fear of people they know to be far superior in every respect." - Jackart on Celebrity Big Brother

Reasons Why Fluffy Helen Is Evil Part Nine

"Did Satanism become something bad when I wasn’t looking?"

That statement pretty much sums up everything about her; a morally and intellectually bankrupt Jew-hating whore!

Quote of the Day 18.1.2007

"It is estimated that Mao [Zedong] caused the deaths of 70 million Chinese.In his youth, Mao was fond of saying, "People like me have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people." Mao must have firmly believed this. There is little else that could explain his tranquility in the face of the suffering triggered by his policies. Chinese government figures show that by 1960, the average Chinese was eating about 1,500 calories a day - a diet equivalent to that of slave-laborers at Auschwitz. Mao, like Stalin, indisputably murdered more people than Hitler. The bulk of the deaths for which Mao was responsible stemmed from the famines caused by his mad agricultural collectivization program.

In short, [Will] Hutton argues that the crimes of communist China's founder shouldn't “blind us to achievements which paved the way for its current modernisation”. By the same token, I suppose Hitler laid the foundations of modern Germany by reviving the economy, building the Autobahns and getting rid of those frightful Jews.Doctor! More Lithium here please!The Left-wing thinker- don’t you just despair?" - Istanbul Tory commenting on Will Hutton's article praising Mao Zedong in today’s Guardian newpaper

R.I.P. U.W.L. Conservative Society, 2002 - 2006

Today is a sad day as I have just learnt that the Conservative Society at my first university has closed due to a lack of members. In its heyday, the society was one of the strongest on campus despite regular political persecution from the corrupt students' union and the retarded Jew-hating Stalinist "Fuzzy" Helen Watters. Indeed, it was the only party political society in Lampeter, usually numbering over 20 members out of a student body over just over 1,000. There were attempts by Fuzzy and the infamous Jo Salmon with her then-lackey James Insley to set up rival groups (the Liberal Democrats and Left of Centre respectively), but these never got off the ground despite the number of left-wing dummies such Alex Staniforth and Tom O'Leary that were prominent on campus.

Unfortunately, when the old guard such as founder Andrew Rose, the jolly Oliver Owen and myself left Lampeter, the group lost its biggest assets for attracting new members and thus ran out of steam. The society had its ups and downs, but my miserable time at Lampeter would have been far worse without it. I miss Andy, Ole, Charlie Notton, Elliot Moreland and the rest. Heck, I even miss part-time member Neil Vaughan and we hate each other. Out of the old crew, I am only still in touch Andy and I still have Neil's mobile phone number and email address. I wish I could get back contact with all the others.

No doubt that obese cretin and pervert of a Pro-Vice Chancellor "Dirty" Barry Burnham is jumping for joy. I hope the Reichsmarshal chokes to death on his own blubber.

Has working for WWE turned Arn Anderson into a retard?

CM Punk's loss to Hardcore Holly at the 1/9 ECW show was of course, the end of his undefeated streak. Punk is currently in the doghouse and this was punishment for it. However, it is currently unknown at the moment in regards to what Punk did to deserve to be in the doghouse in the first place.

It was well known backstge that Punk disagreed with the layout for the Extreme Elimination Chamber match the Dec. To Dismember. Arn Anderson, who was the co-producer of the match along with Michael Hayes made the following remark: "After 14 years of being WWE television Holly is the bigger star."

ECW writer Dave Lagana's original plan for the 1/9 match was for Punk to be on the verge of beating Holly with the Vice, but Holly would to struggle to the ropes and win with the feet on the ropes finish for a fluke pin. However, at the agent meeting before the show, the whole room turned on Punk. Anderson said that Holly should make Punk pay his dues. Also, some of the agents believe that he's "Heyman's guy", and that's he's not really very good and his being over is a fluke that was created by Heyman. Once again, Anderson said that Punk should pay his dues before they push him and there was no need for Holly to have to cheat to beat him because he's 'the real WWE Superstar'. The idea for the clean finish in the match came from Finlay.

Also, there were people backstage getting off on Holly chopping CM Punk hard during the match.

R.I.P. Hollywood Hulk Hogan, August 11, 1953 - April 1, 2007

So why do I believe that the immortal Hulkster will die at Wrestle Mania 23 in front of a crowd of 78,000 Hulkamaniacs and a worldwide television audience of tens-of-millions? Simple, Vince and Stephanie McMahon both know that Hogan will die before he finally retires, so what would get rid of that 53-year-old egomaniac and spike the rating upwards for RAW, Smack Down and ECW more than Hogan actually dieing in a match at the hands of a man with a prior reputation for causing in-ring deaths called "The Great Khali" Dalip Singh. I have nothing against either Hogan or Khali, but I would pay Sky Box Office's asking price of £14.99 to watch Khali kill Hogan in a manner similar to that of Ivan Drago's destruction of Apollo Creed in the film Rocky IV, and so would millions of others too.

The Next Big Thing In Radio Comedy

Last night I listened to the first episode of BBC Radio 4's new late-night comedy show Recorded for Training Purposes. It was brilliant with its attacks on soap operas, political correctness, North Korea, the internet and the public services. I thoroughly recommend that you all tune into that show next week at 11pm.

Quotes of the Day 11.1.2007

"Can anyone explain to me why state expropriation of private property, closing down hostile media outlets and the passing of an "enabling law" (1933 anyone?) as I was predicting a couple of years ago, should be greeted with cheers from not just the lunatic fringe but the supposedly reasonable left too?"

"Is anti-americanism the only measure of morality that pinkos accept? Does anyone else feel slightly queasy at the thought of "Socialism or death"?"

"Does this mean that anyone who opposes GWB is alright, even though they're walking down a well-trodden road that historicaly has always had mass murder bordering on genocide at the end of it?" - Jackart

"Mr Chavez retorted by dubbing Mr Blair "the main ally of Hitler", a reference to Mr Bush." - Telegraph.co.uk

BLAIR IS HITLER MARK II (unless you believe that left-wing lesbian lunatic Jo "Davina Irving" Salmon)!

Quote of the Day 10.1.2007

"So Gordon is not an economic Genius - hes fucked the economy right up, but a political genius. He doesn't care about the living standards of hard working families. He cares about keeping that group of evil, power-hungry, anti-British, socialist shits, the Labour party in power for as long as possible, so they can continue to take all our money and spend it to secure labour votes, to the detriment of all.

Gordon. Please move to Venezuela... you'd fit right in." - Jackart

We cannot be held to ransom by politically correct heath and safety nutters

So a married couple are under investigation for the heinous crime of smoking inside their own home. Do I oppose smoking and wish to see it banned in all public places? Yes, because non-smokers can still die from lung cancer due to passive smoking. Do I want smoking on private premises outlawed? No, because it causes no one any harm other than the smokers themselves.

This madness is the hallmark of Blair's Britain - a fascist surveillance state! If these lunatics want to oppress individual liberty, then I suggest we libertarian Conservative play them at their own game by reporting Jo Salmon to the police for smoking in her own home and preaching sex discrimination, or better still, perform a citizen's arrest on that bitch-witch Polly Toynbee for encouraging religious persecution. If we did those things, Toynbee and Salmon would soon change their tune.

I Am Nostradamus!

I predict that the Royal Family will announce the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton on Wednesday 14 February, with the wedding taking place between April and August.

'Navy To Be Slashed To Cut Costs'

Navy bosses are said to be in uproar over reported plans to mothball nearly half of the Fleet and close a key port. Six warships - Cumberland, Chatham, Cornwall, Campbeltown, Southampton and Exeter - are considered to be under threat. According to the Daily Telegraph, cuts have been drawn up which are intended to slice £250m from the defence budget.

The paper has also claimed the Navy could lose one of its three aircraft carriers, Invincible, and that one of three major ports was under threat of closure - with Portsmouth the most vulnerable.

It quoted one senior officer as saying: "We are now no better than a coastal defence force or a fleet of dug-out canoes.

"The Dutch now have a better navy than us."

Last month, Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram said 13 of the Royal Navy's 44 main vessels were already in a state of reduced readiness - known as mothballing - to save cash.

A decision to mothball the other ships would mean that almost half the Fleet would not be available.

The Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "We currently have no plans to cut ship numbers.

"We routinely review whether resources are allocated where our frontline forces need them most. No decisions have been taken in this case."

He pointed out that the MoD was building new destroyers, attack submarines, and support ships for the Royal Navy and planned to sign the production contract this year for two new aircraft carriers.

The spokesman branded reports that Portsmouth will close as "complete speculation", adding: "We are reviewing our bases, and have undertaken to make savings, but no decisions have been taken."

'Wanted' photos 'may breach rights'

Police have refused to release photographs of two escaped murderers, claiming it might breach their human rights.

Killers Jason Croft and Michael Nixon are among 13 inmates to have absconded from Sudbury open jail in Derbyshire in the past two months.

Despite the fact that only two have been caught - and that the killers are still on the loose - Derbyshire Police said the public do not have a right to know what the convicts look like.

A spokesman for Derbyshire Police said: "When making a decision to release any photograph, police forces must take into account numerous factors including the public interest test, whether there is a strong local policing purpose and, of course, the Human Rights and Data Protection Acts.

"Photographs of named people that are in police possession are classed as data and their release is restricted by law.

"Acpo (Association of Chief Police Officers) guidance states that releasing a 'wanted' photograph of a named person should only happen in exceptional circumstances where officers believe that the named suspect may be a danger to the public."

Croft, 28, has been missing since October 31, while Nixon, also 28, has not been seen since he failed to appear at roll call on November 2. Both are originally from Manchester.

"Unfortunately, once people abscond, it's up to us to trace their whereabouts," the spokesman added.

"The very nature of open prisons is that those people are out and about anyway on placements and some abuse the trust we have placed in them. We are left to mop it up."

More than 660 inmates have gone missing from Sudbury in the past 10 years and officials were criticised last year for spending £25,000 on a champagne party for staff as a reward for "high performance".

How dare Derbyshire Police deliberately endanger the lives of the public to appease politically correct nutcases like Polly Toynbee and Dan Paskini?

Tony Blair promised to be tough on crime, but the 1998 Human Rights Act has made a mockery of his statement. If there was ever a reason to kick New Labour out of office and repel the Human Rights Act, this episode is it.

Youngster Dies Plugging In Game Boy

A seven-year-old British boy has reportedly been electrocuted in his hotel room in Thailand while using his Game Boy. Connor O'Keefe is thought to have been killed when he plugged the handheld games console into the power socket at the Sunset Beach Resort in Phuket. He was found by his parents - David Skinner, 49 and Kathleen Curry, 45 - slumped on the floor of the room, according to local reports.

Local police and hotel management believe the youngster had plugged in his Game Boy while he was still wet after swimming in the hotel pool.

The combination of water and electricity led to an electric shock which proved fatal, they said.

But the boy's mother said he was aware of the dangers of electricity and was "definitely" not wet when he was electrocuted.

Police who have been investigating the death believe it was a tragic accident and the hotel was not to blame.

It is thought Connor's parents have now returned to the UK with his body.

Really Real? Judge For Yourselves

Shortly before the start of the Third Gulf War, someone on GameFAQs posted an open letter from the late Saddam Hussein to the American public. The letter did not receive much publicity apparently due to pressure from the White House, which is a pity because if had better publicised, it would have rendered arguments from pro-Saddam lobbyists such as the Stop The War Coalition and Sean Penn null and void because Saddam actually invites U.S. armed forces into Iraq.

Dear People of America,

My friends, it grieves me that so much misunderstanding has arisen of late between my great country and yours. Your President, Mr. George Bush Jr., has, I think, given you the wrong impression about how I feel about your wonderful country and its citizens. While it is true that some years ago our two glorious nations found themselves engaged in a great war, both fought with honour and the matter ended with no side the clear victor. All that, as your people say, is water over the bridge.

The truth is I love America very much.

How could one not love the U.S.? The physical beauty of your land is breathtaking. Someday I would like to visit your famous Grand Canyon and Mount Rushmore and gaze upon the faces of your great rulers of the past.

I would love to sit and watch one of your American baseball games as I chomp on a wiener with mustard and sauerkraut.

Your Hollywood movies are grand. I very much admire your John Wayne, certainly the manliest of men. And Tom Cruise is the finest young actor in the world. Who would not take delight in his strong, lean physique? I would relish the opportunity to personally entertain him in Baghdad. Just the other day I was watching a videotape of the dazzling movie Minority Report, which I enjoyed very much. Someday I would like to meet the director, Mr. Steven Spielberg, and have him explain it to me.

As some of you might know, I am something of a creative artist myself. I have written a few novels that have met with some critical success here. Would it not be magnificent if Mr. Spielberg and I were to collaborate on a film project, made here in beautiful Iraq? The fact that he is of the Hebrew faith is of no concern to me. Despite what you may have heard about my so-called “gassing” of the Kurds, mine is a heart free of prejudice and hate.

Your American rock music, too, is so fresh and entertaining. When we hold parties at the presidential palace I love to shake my booty, as your young people say. Those sweet-faced boys in *NSYNC are so talented. They, too, have an open invitation to visit my country – as does each and every American who reads this letter.

Perhaps when you come to my country and see the smiling faces of little Iraqi children waving the American flag, you will see there is no need for further conflict. Do not be misled by the things you may have heard. I see America as a friend, not an enemy. Let us make love, not war.

Sincerely,

His Excellency, Saddam Hussein

Once you have finished laughing at all the unintended (?) homoerotic statements, you might be thinking that this letter is a hoax. I believe that this note is genuine because it contains some credible clues. Saddam claims to have watched Minority Report on videotape. Due to international sanctions imposed on Iraq at the time, the only way Saddam could have gained access to the film on videotape is if it was a pirated copy.

Speaking from personal experience, I can assure you that media piracy is rife throughout the Middle East with the authorities often turning a blind eye to such activities. Media piracy was only officially banned in Saudi Arabia during 1995 to very little effect; so one can imagine who much worse the problem is in Iraq even today. However, I digressed from the matter at hand which to gauge the authenticity of the letter.

I believe that the example I have mentioned and my reasons why have I am convinced that this letter from Saddam was genuine.

Quotes of the Day 4.1.2007: The 200th Post

"The problem with the description “far-right” is that it tends to imply that the likes of the odious BNP are in some sense Tories, but more so. Whilst that might be a useful political device for some sections of the left in some circumstances, it’s neither accurate nor generally helpful.

Let’s call the BNP what they are - a bunch of odious white-power racists with authoritarian tendencies who will jump on any policy bandwagon that looks like it might win them a few votes." - Sam on Antonia's blog

Here is an excellent quote from Martine Martin:

Fools! It Was A Joke!!!

Remember when in the diary room during Big Brother 6, the only black gay in the Tory party, Derek Laud said that his fellow Afro-Caribbean housemate Science annoyed him so much that he felt like joining the British National Party (BNP)? If you do, you will most likely realise that he was joking. Unfortunately, the joke was lost on some people in the LGBT community according to Martine Martin, who discovered the existence of a Gay BNP Group.

As a individual called Chris remarked on that legwob:

"Just goes to show that being gay does not make you immune from massive out bursts of self defeating stupidity."

A Message To Rose Hill Cllr Antonia Bance

In the most recent post on her blog, 'Mrs. Jo Salmon' wrote the following statement regarding the infamous Prague Tory's "incredible suggestion" concerning Labour party leadership hopeful John McDonnell and the fascist British National Party (BNP):

(I assume that Prague Tory is making some subtle point, in the manner of rightwingers, about how the BNP are not really rightwing. This is usually expressed less subtly as “don’t you know that Nazi stood for national SOCIALIST German workers’ party - they’re clearly a bunch of commies!” You’ll forgive me if I don’t get exercised about the rightness or leftness of the BNP, but merely their wrongness.)

I will explain it to Cllr Bance (and Comrade Salmon) once again: Right is Right; Left is Wrong and as such, SOCIALISM IS FASCISM! Whether you realise it or not, you are a member of a fascist organisation ('New Labour') supporting fascist policies. The refusal of both your partner and yourself to recognise and acknowledge both reality and the clear evidence that Tony Blair is the second coming of Adolf Hitler makes you no better than David Irving and "Fuzzy" Helen Watters when they deny the Holocaust.

Quote of the Day 2.1.2007: Happy New Year

"As for the so-called critics who believed the 2002 launch of the Los Angeles-based film division was a 'reel' mistake, they had no choice but to recognize what World Wrestling Entertainment does better than any other organization on the planet: entertain." - WWE.com

Meanwhile, in the real world....

For The Last Time....

David Irving is not a historian, he is a Jew-hating, holocaust denying fascist fantasist!

"Every year there's some horrible Rom-Com I'm forced to endure by some female or other. I find this form repellent in the extreme, and after 2 hours of cloying niceness I go looking for a puppy to kick." - Jackart

"The general feeling among the writing staff is that [Paul] Heyman's departure was the best thing for Paul and the company." - Rajah.com on the opinions of the retarded WWE creative team

What an insult to Mr. Heyman! Who are those arrogant idiots to gauge what is in Mr. Heyman's best interests?

I am in a bad mood today and I feel like killing someone or something!

Nintendo warning over bright lights

Nintendo has warned owners of its new console to avoid bright lights shining near televisions while they play.

It follows reports that fairy lights were causing problems with the Wii's remote control sensor.

The technology giant said direct lights could cause interference in "exceptional conditions".

Writing on a users' blog, one owner said: "The last couple of days my Wii has been acting weird in not picking up the Wiimote on the side of the Christmas tree and I could never figure out what was wrong.

"Well tonight, I turned off the Christmas tree and it fixed my problem."

The Wii sold out within 24 hours of hitting UK stores earlier this month.

In a statement, Nintendo said the console wasn't affected by lights under normal conditions.

It added: "In exceptional conditions where the Wii sensor bar is sat near a direct light source there may be some minor interference - this does not mean that there is any fault with your Wii.

"For the best performance of your Wii, avoid bright light sources behind or near the TV, shining towards the Wii remote or reflecting off the TV screen."

Offensive? Yes, but is THIS racist?!?

After the recent Bob Piper and Prague Tory saga over Bobby's Photoshop makeover of David Cameron as a minstrel, I found this contentious image on Theo Spark's blog of Kofi Annan. Yes it is offensive, but I do not believe it to be racist. However, it is understandable that even the most vocal opponent of French Trotskyite Political Correctness might feel that this image with its historical flavour is indeed racist.

Lembit Opik: The Original Mr. Write-off

After managing to curse his colleagues Charles Kennedy and Mark Oaten with his 'support' earlier this year, the Liberal Democrat MP for Montgomeryshire Lembit Opik has now ended the only good thing going for him, his relationship with ITV weather forecast presenter Sian Lloyd to begin another relationship with some 'singer' young enough to be his daughter. If it is any comfort to Ms. Lloyd, what Opik has done is the equivalent of trading in a Rolls Royce for a Trabant.

Mad Mel Misses The Point

Mel Gibson has told his detractors: "Get the hell over it.

The Hollywood star, who issued a grovelling apology to the Jewish community in the summer after unleashing an anti-Semitic rant when he was arrested for drink-driving, said the way he had been treated since was "out of proportion".

He also defended his new movie Apocalypto against charges that it is excessively violent in its portrayal of the last days of the Mayan civilisation.

"How many people do you know get a DUI (driving under the influence) and are kicked around for six months?" Gibson told USA Today.

"It's out of proportion. I'm not saying I wasn't at fault.

"Hey, we're not perfect, we're all human, get over it.

"I've apologised, done the right thing, now get the hell over it. I'm a work in progress.

Apocalypto, which shocked critics with its depictions of beheadings and hearts being ripped from people's chests, defied predictions that Gibson's personal troubles would hamper its success to top the box office in its opening weekend.

On Thursday it picked up a Golden Globe nomination in the foreign language film category.

Source: MSN.co.uk

Gibson has missed the point. People are having a go at him not because he got a DUI. The public and media are angry because he made a number of anti-Jewish remarks and that despite his apologies, everyone does not believe that they were sincere. Not only that, his father is an infamous holocaust denier.

Quote of the Day 16.12.2006

"The sign of a civilised country is that it executes its drug dealers" - Peter Horton, of Ilfracombe, Devon, in a letter to the Daily Telegraph (quote courtesy of Iain Dale's Diary)

A rather amusing remark in my opinion.

Quotes of the Day 15.12.2006

"Let me put this bluntly. The government has backed down in the face of Saudi threats - it has acceded to blackmail. It argues that the decision has been made "in the wider public interest" yet it has basically prostrated the British nation at the feet of Saudi bribery and corruption. Shameful. Truly shameful." - Iain Dale

"It absolutely baffles me why the voters could not see this man for what he is. It was so obvious. He has evil written all over his face and eyes, and he did before he won his first term in office. There's an air of something unsettling about Tony Blair and there always was." - verity on Iain Dale's Diary

"The[y] [Labour] have no capacity for shame, especially Blair.

Lacking this moral compass he has an personality that is unfit to hold public office. The Labour party is unfit for office as it has not removed him despite these facts." - Man in a Shed on Iain Dale's Diary

"Remember kids, Sleaze and Telling Fibs is really wrong, unless it is in the 'Wider Public Interest'...

Remember, don't do as we do, Just do as we say..

Your Uncle Tony" - an anonymous poster on Iain Dale's Diary

"The cynical level of news management compounded with the questioning of a serving prime minister in relation to serious criminal offences, compounded with the governments disregard of the rule of law and parliamentary scrutiny profoundly ashames and sickens me. How can anyone vote Labour ever again?" - Anyone But Blair on Iain Dale's Diary

Wii have a problem: Nintendo recalls 3.2 mln wrist straps

TOKYO (AFP) - Nintendo has recalled 3.2 million wrist straps for its new Wii console after reports of enthusiastic users inadvertently sending the motion-sensing controller crashing into their TV screens.

Nintendo Co Ltd spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said Friday that the first version of the controller strap "turned out to be insufficient in its strength for some customers," so it would be replaced with a thicker one.

"The decision comes after reports that some users in the United States threw their controllers when playing with Wii sports software," he said.

By waving or swinging the controller, it can serve as a sword, tennis racket or car steering wheel in the games showing on screen.

But websites dubbed "Wii have a problem" and "Wii damage" have chronicled injuries and wreckage reportedly inflicted by Nintendo game controllers sent awry in the heat of play by wild swipes, loose grips or snapped wrist straps.

Wii controllers have been hurled or thrust into television and computer screens, according to online accounts. Among the reported casualties have been windows, glasses, dishes, stereos, walls and ceiling fans.

The official Wii website warns users to "hold the Wii Remote firmly and do not let go" when playing, while taking a moment to dry perspiring hands to prevent injury to people or damage to objects.

Nintendo, which launched the Wii in the United States last month and in Japan on Saturday, has been getting rave reviews for its new controller and games that shy away from blood-and-guts action.

But Nintendo president Satoru Iwata admitted last week that "even beyond our expectations people are becoming more and more excited playing with the Wii" following the reports of snapping wrist straps.

The Wii outsold the rival PlayStation 3 by more than double in the US in November, according to industry tracking group NPD, which estimates that Nintendo sold 476,140 of its Wii consoles against Sony's 196,580 PS3s.

Nintendo said that although it has not sold as many as 3.2 million Wii consoles some owners may have more than one controller to allow more than one player to compete at the same time.

Consoles shipped from early December already have the thicker strap.

Wii set itself apart from Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles by designing a system that got players moving and encouraged family or friends to join in the activity.

Within weeks of Wii's debut in November, The American Chiropractic Association made the unusual move of publicly advising console enthusiasts to "stretch first, then play."

Nintendo also said Friday that it would recall 200,000 AC/DC power adaptors for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite portable game machines.

Nintendo said some adaptors supplied by Nagano Japan Radio Co Ltd (JRC) between January and October this year could generate excessive heat and possibly cause burn injury during charging.

Nintendo said to date, it has recorded nine such incidents of overheating. One such incident burned a hole in the body of the portable game machine but no injuries have been reported.

The Kyoto-based company said models with defective AC/DC adaptors were sold only in Japan.

Cumulative sales of Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite have so far reached 13 million units.

"Politicians should stop trying to be cool and get on with running the country" - Cheryl Tweedy-Cole

Girls Aloud dismiss 'cool' Cameron

Girls Aloud have given Tory leader David Cameron the thumbs down.

Band member Cheryl Tweedy said Cameron should stop pretending to be "cool" and concentrate on policies.

Earlier this year, he claimed Cheryl was the most fanciable one in Girls Aloud.

But she told the New Statesman: "Politicians know we get listened to by more young fans than they do. That's why David Cameron said he fancied me. He was just trying to be cool. I bet he couldn't name a single song of ours. Do I fancy him? No! Politicians should stop trying to be cool and get on with running the country.

Cheryl also dished out some advice to Britain's political parties on how to make themselves more appealing to young voters.

"There should be adverts in the breaks during Coronation Street spelling it out in bullet points: This is what the Conservatives stand for. This is what Labour stands for.

"You know that basically Labour is the working class and the Conservatives are the really kind of upper class, and then everything else is... I have no idea," she explained.

But Cheryl is no fan of Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"We are too young to really remember the excitement of Labour getting into power. All we know is what's happening now, which is that Blair equals George Bush and the war in Iraq," she said.

Girls Aloud are not the first band to go political. The Spice Girls famously declared their support for Margaret Thatcher during an interview with The Spectator in 1996.

Game Boy Advance: A Retrospective

During 2000, Nintendo announced that it would release a true successor to the 8-bit Game Boy handheld console series called the Game Boy Advance that was unveiled later in the year at the Nintendo Space World show. While the Nintendo GameCube attracted the lion’s share of attention (and criticism for its Fisher Price-type aesthetics), the original Game Boy Advance was greeted with near-universal praise for its combination of stylish design, impressive Super NES equivalent graphics capabilities and 15 to 20 hours of battery life. When the portable was released the following year, it became an instant success, quickly acquiring a diverse library of quality titles from conversions of 16-bit Super NES classics such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past and Yoshi’s Island to original gems like Advance Wars, Golden Sun and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. The compact format’s fortunes were also greatly aided by the inclusion of backwards-compatibility with the software libraries of both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, which gave the Game Boy Advance instant access to an existing collection of over a thousand titles.

Although the Game Boy Advance series is commonly perceived as an array of portable Super NES consoles that also doubles up as a home for retro titles such as Manic Miner, Rayman Advance and Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis, it is also host to some terrific original software like Metroid Fusion, Spyro Season of Ice and the Sonic Advance trilogy. These original titles were often better than the best Super NES conversions because developers usually made more of an effort to make greater use of the Game Boy Advance’s technical capabilities as most of the Super NES translations were not only not as fully optimised for the portable as they could have been due to developer-laziness and built-in hardware limitations.

For what was conceived of as the handheld equivalent of the Super NES, the Game Boy Advance line is compromised by the omission of the Super NES controller’s X and Y face buttons. It was claimed that these two triggers were not included because Nintendo did not want to encourage third-party publishers and developers from converting Super NES titles to the Game Boy Advance family. However, considering that Nintendo themselves were responsible for most of the high profile Super NES translations and that the Super NES originals had usually used only four of the Super NES controller’s six buttons, it is more likely that the lack of triggers were due to cost cuts. While this decision rarely if ever rendered conversions of six button titles unplayable, some releases were still somewhat compromised such as Capcom’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper. The Game Boy Advance systems’ audio processor is also rather inferior to its Super NES Sony-developed counterpart, though it is still a capable instrument.

The initial Game Boy Advance also somewhat suffered from Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges awkwardly protruding out of the cartridge slot away from players and the absence of any internal lighting as it is at times difficult to see what is on the machine’s wide colour screen with even decent external lighting conditions. These problems were rectified by the release of the Game Boy Advance SP during 2003. Though it lacks the aesthetic elegance of both the original Game Boy Advance and the later-released Game Boy micro, the Game Boy Advance SP did include internal front lighting (a second-generation Game Boy Advance SP with improved internal lighting behind the visual display was released two years later) with 8-bit Game Boy series cartridges discreetly protruding towards gamers. This was achieved by using an internal lithium ion battery instead of traditional AA batteries (with beneficial side effect of saving owners the expense of regularly purchasing replacement standard batteries) at the cost of the internal lighting reducing playing time to just over ten hours when switched on (the battery life increases to eighteen hours when the lighting is off).

The final portable incarnation of the Game Boy Advance, the Game Boy micro, was released during 2005. Although this edition of the Game Boy Advance has the finest aesthetic design of the production line and adjustable light settings, the system failed to reproduce the commercial success of its predecessors because consumers owned one of or both the previous versions of the format and preferred instead to purchase either a variant of the Nintendo DS or Sony’s PSP. It also did not help that the Game Boy micro is incompatible with all Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles.

The biggest reason for the Game Boy Advance franchise’s success was of course the software library. A console stands or falls by whether it has a varied collection of quality titles and the Game Boy Advance was no exception. The portable has at least one classic game across almost every genre from the usual suspects to more obscure releases such as the critically acclaimed conversion of the popular PC CD-ROM and PlayStation title Broken Sword The Shadow of the Templars. Another key feature of the Game Boy Advance’s popularity was its ability to host simultaneous four-player games such as Bomberman Tournament, ChuChu Rocket and Mario Kart Super Circuit with just a single cartridge. The Game Boy Advance collection could also be connected to the Nintendo GameCube to access special features in certain titles and a couple of e-reader scanners were released that could upload basic games from cards, but these accessories were rather limited in there execution. A more successful Game Boy Advance-related peripheral was the Game Boy Player for the Nintendo GameCube, which could operate Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges through the television-based console as the Super Game Boy series allowed with the original Game Boy’s titles on the Super NES.

The Game Boy Advance franchise is one of the greatest consoles in videogame history with something for everyone to enjoy. It has old and original classics that cater towards the tastes of both the most casual and the most of dedicated of gamers alike, whether young or old.

She's Alive!

Rest easy folks, everyone's favourite muesli-crunching politically correct Oxford socialist Jo Salmon is still alive and blogging. Apparently she is still attending to some pressing matters at the moment. If you have not yet read her blog Jo's Journal, I urge you to do so. Marvel at the high quality production values of her blog, pity her for her deluded attachment to Bennite ideology (although considering that Tony Benn is a former aristocrat, he might actually be too right-wing for Ms. Salmon's personal taste) and denounce her for her support for Adolf Hitler's* employment policies.

"Flaying leftists with the superior force of Conservatism" - Istanbul Tory on his interests

"TV's okay, but you just can't beat live entertainment!"

While I was at work with Tenovus this past Saturday, a man walked into the shop and asked my colleague Gail where were the Christmas cards displayed. Gail pointed him in the right direction and told him that the shop was selling English, Welsh and bilingual cards. When he heard this, the customer protested to Gail that "I'm straight"! How Gail managed to keep a straight face after that remark, I will never know!

Be Offensive, Tell The Truth!

Between 2002 and 2005, I had the misfortune of studying History at the University of Wales, Lampeter. Despite its origins as a theological college that trained students for the clergy, the institution has now degenerated into the proverbial wretched hive of scum and villainy. A classic, though surprising mild (by the degraded standards of the university) incident occurred midway through the second-term of my first year at Lampeter. On this occasion, the chairman of the students’ union was reprimand by one of the sabbatical officers (who is a prominent Labour party activist) for creating a PowerPoint presentation with the offensive images of a traditional nuclear family. According to the sabbatical, the images in question discriminated against homosexual couples. Why? Were there derogatory references or images against homosexuals? Was there any content that incited discrimination or violence against homosexuals? None whatsoever! When I commented to her that her complaint was “madness”, she barked at me, accusing me of a using a derogatory term about those with mental health issues before threatening to have security remove me from the premises. Thanks to the poisonous and counterproductive culture of political correctness, not only has common sense been usurped by wilful ignorance and stupidity, it is also offensive to tell the truth because some others might not or do not believe it!

However, there is nothing new about people taking offence to the truth. Thousands of years before the advent of political correctness, a carpenter from Nazareth caused great and regular offence in the Holy Land with his outrageous claims and remarks. This carpenter caused a huge scandal by having the temerity to claim that he was the son of God and that no one else could gain access to the Almighty expect through him. What arrogance! How presumptuous! How dare he upset the cosy self-righteous consensus of those around him! If someone did that today, that individual would be sectioned. For telling the truth, the carpenter was slandered, threatened, exiled, arrested, tortured and eventually murdered, all because he offended others by just telling the truth. Was this carpenter a bad person? Not in my opinion or the opinion of 1.9 billion others because he was a good man who gave his life for the ultimate truth, that God loves us, God cannot tolerate injustice, but still wants to rescue us from ourselves by sacrificing his only son exactly because he loves us and no other sacrifice can reconcile this contradiction. Being offensive can sometimes be a good thing because it challenges our preconceptions and compels us to think about what is the truth. Those in positions of authority, past, present and future fear the truth because it threatens their power over others. This one common thread unites the Pharisees and Sadducees with the politically correct students’ union bigwig.

There can be no authority, no freedom and no justice without truth and where there is truth, there must also be offence. This is why we remember and love a simple carpenter called Jesus.

Loved By Few, Hated By Many, Respected By All

About a week ago, the blogger Shotgun introduced me to the very weird world of a Scottish Labour councillor called Terry Kelly. Councillor Kelly (or Cuntcillor Kelly as Shotgun calls him) is a very entertaining blogger.... for all the wrong reasons!

Councillor Kelly, like all good socialists (?), is a brainless hypocrite, an imbecile, a liar and a Jew-hater. The man is an embarrassment to himself and Labour, which is why I pity him!

I will give Councillor Kelly some credit though for showing me at least a measure of respect in his replies to my comments. Unlike some others who have made remarks about him on his blog, the worst statement Councillor Kelly has made about me is that I am an "anonymous coward", which rather odd considering that I have nothing to hide. Councillor Kelly at least has some intelligence to realise that it is not in his best interests to hunt what can kill him!

FU WWE!!!

To claim that I am disgusted at the way World Wrestling Entertainment has treated Paul Heyman would be a gross understatement. I am fuming!

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, his daughter Stephanie and Kevin Dunn made the decision to dismiss Mr. Heyman because of "slumping television ratings and a disgruntled talent roster" for the company's Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) brand. Let me make one thing clear, Mr. Heyman is not responsible for the poor state ECW is in because he was not allowed to take full responsibility for the brand. If he had, ECW would have been in a much better shape. The real reason ECW is in such a crisis is because the McMahons and Dunn do not understand what made the original ECW promotion so great. These three have messed around with the concept so much, that the brand is no longer special and unique to watch. However, instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, these imbeciles decided to make Mr. Heyman a scapegoat for the brand's problems, especially since it is an open secret that Stephanie hates Mr. Heyman and her father's decision to resurrect ECW as WWE's third brand earlier this year.

Fuck you Vince McMahon, I hope you get AIDS you senile old pervert!

Fuck you Stephanie McMahon, I hope drop dead before you father does because your brother Shane and your husband Triple H could do a far better job of running WWE than you, bitch!

Fuck you Kevin Dunn, I hope you get dismissed yourself in the very near future!
