Bugger the economy, I just want to bugger young boys!

I always check the Daily Telegraph site everyday to catch up on what the latest Labour "outrage" is. Usually this involves some baseless claim that Labour is going to tax breathing or impose a stealth tax on having sex or such like. And so it goes on and on and on.

I almost admire it's right wing contrairy attitude to all matters social and economic. Today, it published a piece of op-ed gold from its resident right wing lunatic, Simon Heffer.

In summary, he basically claims that life under Blair has gone to hell in a handcart and things haven't improved at all. His last paragraph is what really stands out though:

They [people lifted out of poverty by the state], Mrs Blair, the Irish Republican Army [note, just the IRA not the many people aren't being blown up anymore! lol] and those for whom the most important thing in life is to be allowed to sodomise 16-year-old boys are the only ones I can think of who have done well out of the past 10 years.

Ha ha ha - Brilliant. If you are in Australia and don't know the UK Labour government equalised the age of consent for same sex couples so it is now 16, the same as the heterosexual age.

What's so good about Heffer's statement is that he believes people who pushed for this change believe that 'the most important thing in life is to be allowed to sodomise 16 year-old boys'. Really? I'm not sure that I, being a supporter of the change, put the right to fuck a 16 year old up the arse as a more important priority than say climate change, alleviating poverty, maintaining economic prosperity or improving public services. What an utterly absurd thing for Heffer to say! Me thinks the man doth protest too much. If you see what I mean ;)

Underground wankers in speaking shit shocker!

Sometimes in my eternal fight against the "underground' and all the pretentious nonsense that comes with it, it's best to keep quiet and let the ridiculousness of it all shine through. This excerpt from club culture newsletter Skrufff says it all:

"The Village Voice suggested the rise of new rave is prompting a resurgence of beat-matching DJs on New York’s cutting edge alternative-electro scene this week, in a lengthy feature called ‘The Return Of Rave’.

“Breaking news: DJs are mixing again! Matching beats,” Trish Romano trumpeted, going on to eulogise Denny Le Nimh’s one year old weekly ‘rave-meets-rock party’ Ruff Club as the epicenter of the trend.

“I think it’s catching on, mixing, it’s definitely the way the music is going as well,” DJ/ co-promoter Le Nimh confirmed.

“A lot of these rock bands are being remixed by house, techno, and electro producers. Justice and Ed Banger records — that sound, that French harder house sound — a lot of the jukebox DJs are starting to play that, and noticing that dance music doesn’t sound as good when you don’t mix it. Dance music is the new dance music [my italics],” he told the Voice."

Dear oh dear.

One more thing - what the fuck is "New Rave"? Answers on a postcard please.

OMG

Honestly. Where do I begin?

I was going to pen a piece today about my new haircut. I beat Britney to a short back and sides last week when I got my hair cut down to a grade 2 all over. This for me was a surefire sign that I am getting old - no longer is the style important, I just want something easy, manageable and practical. ARRRRGGGHHH! I'm 28 going on 60. I feel like growing it back into a style just so I don't succumb to the inevitable descent into an eternal quest to find styles and clothes that are practical, easy to wash and hard wearing.

My new hair cut:

Anyway, I was going to talk about that at length. But then someone else gets a very short hair cut and my fear of ageing too quickly pales into insignificance compared to someone who appears to be on the edge of a nervous breakdown.



At this point it would be very easy for Britney fans to throw in the towel - we excused the flashing of the flaps saga, we winced as she dropped her children, we felt pity as she married the biggest loser in the world and we sympathised as she put on weight. But this latest saga takes the cake. It's clear that Britney is hurtling towards rehab quicker than Kirsty Ally regaining weight after going on a crash diet.

These are dark days for Britney admirers but stick with it people, she will come out the otherside. And if she doesn't, hey at least we have the memories. *sob*
