Cats with like, stuff on them....

Check out this completely mad website called stuffonmycat.com

Here's a taste of what's in store for you...

Mum at 12

There are many things that could be written in jest about this but it really is a very sad story.

Choice quote:

'Yesterday she told how she took up drinking at just ten — sometimes downing a potent cocktail of Buckfast and vodka on nights out.

She said: “I can give up smoking at any time, but I don’t find it affects my pregnancy. I also don’t drink any more.”'

Very sad indeed....

Justice is served.

Unions

Michael Costello writes about the Australian Government's attempt to emasculate the unions.

One of the Conservative movements most successful tricks of modern times (in all Western Countries) has been to portray unions as irrelevant, working against employees' interests and a barrier to modernisation. The public, on the whole, seem to have fallen for these lies. But while they spend their four weeks paid holiday per year enjoying themselves whilst getting maternity pay, sick pay, a 40hour week etc they might like to reflect on why they enjoy these benefits. They sure as hell didn't come about due to the compassion and decency of corporations nor the wisdom of Conservative politicans. The main force for improvements in worker's rights was the union movement and if they are reduced to an ineffective rump be prepared for these conditions to be as good as it's ever going to get.

Real Tory Views Part 2

I've already posted about this topic here but I think I'll keep highlighting the occasions on which the real views of the Tory Party burst through the David Cameron 'vote blue, get green' spin. John Harris from the Guardian's blog located some rather illuminating comments from one of the Tory Party's 'A List' candidates, Maria Hutchings. Choice quote:

'I don't care about refugees. I care about my little boy, and I want the treatment he deserves.'

As John Harris rightly points out, that doesn't really chime with Cameron's new, cuddly, multicultural, Tory Party does it?

Porn FTW

ha ha ha...using the same Google trend service, it seems that the British like porn more than any other country. British cities occupy the top three places with Australia occupying three of the top ten slots which is very impressive considering the small population here.

Now, Brentford is a relatively small area of West London but ranks at number 3 in the top ten, above places like Melbourne, Seattle, Birmingham. I wonder why? Is it full of single, young men? How very odd...

Latinos Love Britney

Using Google's new trend service, it is clear that Britney is very very popular amongst South Americans. How come after all my searches, Melbourne is still not in the top 10? I clearly am not committed enough....

ACT Gay Friendly Zone

Hurrah for ACT's government who have introduced civil unions for gay people.... No doubt families across the country will now start to fall apart due to this outrageous attack on family values....

Bloody Crouch

Excellent quote:

"If he is the answer, it's a bloody stupid question."

Former Cabinet minister and sports fan David Mellor on the selection of Liverpool striker Peter Crouch for the England World Cup squad.

Andrew Sullivan's admirable campaign against the threat of Christian fundamentalism in the US continues...

England are screwed.

So, let me get this straight. We're giving the job of England Manager to a guy whose team came14th in the league and lost the UEFA Cup last night 4-0? Jesus, we truly are fucked.

Britney RIP?

So, she IS pregnant with her second child after all. What the hell is she playing at? Maybe it's time for me to move on from my love of Britney. I don't want a domesticated, bloated, binge eating, down to Earth, housewife Britney. I want a writhing, wrapped in red PVC, nubile, fit, slim Britney goddamnit! Looks as if I am going to have to keep living in the past though, I'll have to concentrate on watching the Slave 4 U video (pic below) for the billionth time and try and forget about the Britney who is currently cleaning nappies, eating macdonalds and attending Weight Watchers classes....

Are Angels Real?

This is an absolutely bonkers website.

From the FAQ section where questions include 'Are Angels Real?' to the four year forecast in which it states that the European Union is going to be the anti-Christ's power base, it's pure hilarity. But no, it's not a piss take - it's for real. And 10's of millions of Americans believe this stuff...

Britney keeps us guessing

Britney update here

What could she possibly be announcing? That's she's rediscovered her self respect and is divorcing Kevin? That she's pregnant with his second child? That she's recording a new album? All will be revealed I guess...
Shocking story from Northern Ireland...

Tolerating intolerance

Blaine nearly drowns

Blaine hasn't pulled off his latest stunt and had to be rescued by divers after he failed to set a new world record in holding his breath underwater.

It's a real shame they managed to rescue him and thus avoided putting us all out of our misery. I'd like to avoid Blaine, I really would, but everytime he performs one of his 'amazing' stunts the press lap it up like Kevin Ferderline laps up Britney's cash. Please let's ignore this buffoon from now on, he's neither big nor clever.

The really irritating thing about him is that he is so god damn earnest about it all, at least the British knew to take him down a peg or two when he did his fasting thing in London a few years back. All the pissed clubbers and drinkers staggering by at 2am throwing burgers and chips at him made me strangely proud to be British.

Yeah, sure he can stand on a pole for 35 hours straight, he can be buried alive in a coffin for a week, he can survive for 40 days without food and he can stay in water for a long time. But can he stop being a twat? Clearly not.

Bush - Not Conservative enough

The Conservative right are jumping off the Bush express like rats jumping off a sinking ship.

No doubt his aide Karl Rove will react to this by making sure that the Bush Administration ramp up their anti-gay, anti-liberal retoric from now until the mid term elections in November. They will be very interesting elections for sure...

Cock and Bull

Tim Patch, an 'artist', has painted a portrait of John Howard by using his penis as a brush. Now, how the hell does that work? So many questions, so little time. Was his cock hard or soft? What type of paint did he use? Did he wash his cock with terps afterwards? Answers please....

Fishy goings on

So, when asked what was the greatest triumph of his life, George Bush said "I would say that the best moment of all came when I caught a seven-and-a-half pound perch while fishing on my lake."

Yeah, he was suposedly only joking but the sad thing is that it's probably true....
