I’m a broken man…

Posted by: ta1no on: June 25, 2008

I know I have been a little slack in updating this blog over the last few days. I haven’t put up any new material or anything interesting. Sue me!! just note i am closing to snapping as my office has made me a broken man.

 

So here goes I will do a quick one as I am dying here.

 

In the news –

US factory worker in gun rampage – Police in the US state of Kentucky say a member of staff at a plant shot four people dead before killing himself. The shooting, in the city of Henderson, happened after the employee at Atlantis Plastics had an argument with a supervisor, authorities said. I am so glad we are not allowed to have guns in the UK; if we where allowed i would be doing my work from home.

 

Sickness bug found in tap water – More than 100,000 households in Northamptonshire are being told to boil tap water for drinking after a bug was found to have contaminated supplies. Tests found cryptosporidium in a sample from supplies to Northampton, Daventry and surrounding villages. And they say tap water is safer than bottled water.

 

Three-time World Cup winner Pele has been the victim of a robbery. The soccer legend was held up at gunpoint! When Pele’s chauffeur-driven car became stuck in a traffic jam in Guaruja, the gang proceeded to rob him of his cell phone, a gold necklace, and an expensive watch.

 

JOBLESS grandad Glyn Trowbridge and his runaway schoolgirl lover emerged from hiding last night to declare: “We are in love—and we ARE going to get married.” Gap-toothed Trowbridge, 45, and pretty 16-year-old Lisa Wright disappeared together as details of their bizarre relationship hit the headlines, sickening every parent in Britain. You can’t make this crap up seriously!

 

Music news

Foxy brown and Rick Ross are engaged. What the hell! I honestly can not see this lasting.

DMX was busted by police in Miami yesterday. Miami-Dade Police say the rapper was picked up about 1:30 p.m. Monday on an arrest warrant for having no valid driver’s license. That’s it, no drugs or guns I am seriously disappointed. Is this even news?

Sylvester Stallone is going to become the first major ‘Hollywood’ actor to star in a Bollywood movie. Incredible Love will be the first Indian production to be shot at Hollywood’s Universal Studios. It’s budget is set at $22 million – the highest in Bollywood history! – I wonder if I can officially say that he has sunk to rock bottom.

 

Grinding my gears – well last week was all about crap adverts and I think I got my point across. This week I think it should be about crap films, but as I don’t have time, I am not going to do this just right now. But I will put one more advert up. The Heinz mayo advert – After only running for one week of a four week campaign this advert has been pulled due to negative comments by viewers about the appropriateness of the advert and the one screen kiss. I understand the concept of the advert and I don’t think it’s that bad, well at least not worth the amount of complaints it’s got.

The list – Restaurants that serve little to no vegetarian options. Yep as I am still a veggie for the next week I have decided to speak out about the crap that is annoying me. so I went out to grab a light lunch the other day and wanted something light like a salad but not just a few green leaves and a tomatoes swimming in some olive oil. But after going to 6 places to look at there menu’s I was so disappointed I opted for some Spanish tapas which was appalling. I am not sure if the cook or owner had ever been to Spain – but the Spanish tapas was about as authentic as me eating a taco in the east midlands and saying this is what Mexico must be like. Come on restaurants up your veggie options.

 

Anyway I am offski but I will let you have this little snippit before I go.
