At last it has happened – if you don’t know what I am rambling on about then take look at the following link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7461526.stm yep that’s it some parts of the Sainsbury’s website has crashed and Sainsbury’s is having to refund everyone also giving away a £10 good will voucher. Some might feel sorry for them and say oh no that’s not nice! And how will they bounce back…

In the news – Online maps with crimes plotted on them every month are set to be introduced in England and Wales. Mr Brown also backed plans to create “community crime fighters” – people such as tenant groups given cash and training to help tackle crime. The PM was responding to a Cabinet Office report suggesting people felt “cut off” from the justice system. Really MR Brown is this the best you can come up with to tackle the issue – Really!

A British woman’s bulging wig did not fool customs agents in Norway who discovered a kilogram of cocaine glued to her head. Officers have detained the 32-year-old on suspicion of drug smuggling, authorities said. People really need to think things through. Is this is not the best way to do it…

It is known as the home of ‘the whopper’ and Burger King is hoping its latest product really lives up to its reputation. The fast-food giant has launched a £95 burger – all in the name of charity. The fine ingredients of what is called simply ’The Burger’ include wagyu beef, white truffle, pata negra ham slices, cristal onion straws, modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink himalayan rock salt, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun. Ok let me say this in English, its not real beef and anyone that has £95 to spend on a burger from burger king needs a slap. Take the cash and go to a nice restaurant and buy a real burger not something that’s been sitting on the shelf for the last 2 weeks and has chemicals in it.

Mr. Sulu (George Takei), was among those lucky first Californians in loving same-sex relationships that are enjoying their right to get married!

Music news – So I told you that Lil’ Wayne’s new album was supposed to do well, Well, it’s done BETTER than expected! The rapper’s Tha Carter III sold just over one million copies its debut week, easily making it the #1 album in America. Let’s hope he smart enough to invest his money…

Grinding my gears – Today’s advert is Thunderbirds’ Brains dancing for Drench bottled water. The puppet dances in an amazingly realistic frenzy of moves – with strings still visible. He stops for a breather and a drink, and revived goes on to even more acrobatic feats. Last year’s hit ad was Cadbury’s gorilla drumming to Phil Collins. Cadbury’s efforts to repeat the trick have not yet worked – an advert about airport baggage lorries racing unluckily coincided with the Heathrow Terminal Five mishap. I for one think this is one of the worse adverts out there especially for water. This advert would not make me want to drink Drench water; however I think they created the advert to appeal to young people and to get a viral following. Shame thunderbirds puppets are as innovative nowadays as sock puppets. Take a look at the video below.

The list – Due to the Sainsbury’s news I am not going to add anything to the list today. Actually I might take them off the list as they have got there comeuppance.

Words of wisdom from Peter Kay-

1. When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.
2. You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.
3. Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?

I think I am loosing the will for wagamamas. I went to eat there the other day and the food was the same as usual, I am one for consistency but I think that my palette screams for more. Someone noted the other day that Wagamamas is the Japanese gift to the west as we gave McDonalds to the east; basically Wagamamas is the Japanese version of McDonalds. I have decided that its time to find a new alternative. I tried the Japanese’s canteen and even though the food had more flavour I felt ripped off and overall not an improvement on Waggi’s. Also tried Soba which again was actually really disappointing. Why would you make a shop or company that is not up to scratch with the benchmark?

In the News – The world’s fattest man turned 45 yesterday. He has one dream to be able to stand up and get married. Seeing his winki should also be high on his agenda.

Mothers say there is nothing wrong with breast feeding her 7 year old child, it helps with there growth, sounds like a fetish to me. How is she still producing milk seven years after the baby is born. Is it even milk anymore? Or just liquid dust…

A mother in Brentwood checked on her sleeping daughter to find a real-life urban legend come true: There was a snake in her baby’s crib. Animal control workers identified the snake as a California king snake and said it was a little more than a foot long. What happened to buying a pet dog?

And finally some guy won the apprentice on TV, I would like to write about the series but unlike my fellow peers I don’t actually care about the reality show which is the apprentice.

Grinding my gears – Parents that believe breast feeding there children after the age of 7 is actually a good idea and helps them to develop. One girl was still feeding at 12. Do they not realise that there child is going to get bullied and might even be scared in later life by this. Think about it, you are a 16 year old and your friends are laughing at you for breast feeding until 4 years ago. Crap if he went to my school I would say the kid has a tit fetish or some incest issues. I think some parents need to cut the child off, if the child had a drinking problem you wouldn’t give them drink as it makes them happy. You would consider the effect on there life it would have – This is the exact same thing. Then again there are worse fetishes that people could have, just take a look at any Porn sites like spankwire.com or redtube.com and you will fine countless amounts of it.

The list – Wagamamas is going on the list, just because I think they need to bring out something new. I know the saying – if it’s not broken then don’t fix it, but I am sure now that they have a great concept and products they can improve/evolve from this and create something a bit more innovative and something that challenges my taste buds.

Music gossip – Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter III came out this Tuesday morning, so exact figures have yet to be determined. Execs at his music label estimate the album will sell between 850,000 and 950,000 by the end of it’s first week. And if they’re right, that’d be double the amount Mariah’s album opened with. Hip hop or Rap is really starting to come back with a bang.

Oh and I watched the worst programme last night. Some new Australian programme called Summer Heights High it was so bad I was ashamed it was on. I actually wrote a letter to complain. Right I know Kath and Kim was not great but at least it had some jokes and was watchable (ish), this programme was just a cross dressing drag queen trying to act. It was the worse thing I have seen on TV. The story line was pants and the characters where bland and stereotypical with no substance. I give it a 0/5 however the metro gave it a 4/5 and called it amazing and fresh. You suck Metro, that’s all I have to say. I also found out that HBO the company that bought us hits such as The Sopranos and Entourage has bought the rights to this show. WHAT THE HELL is with these people? Its like the dumb slow cousin of the UK’s little Briton

Please see a clip below of the show enjoy…
