I was on the Tram this morning travelling to work. Now before I carry on with this I do realise that public transport seems to be a running theme throughout 90% of my blogs at the moment, but that is because unfortunately public transport is a huge part of my life at the moment, a part that drives me extremely insane, but at the same time allows you to observe and think about things. It almost makes it all worthwhile (Ha!). So anyway I was taking my life into my own hands by travelling on the Tr...

There are currently new laws trying to come in place here that would see shoplifters only having to do community service if they actually got caught. This is because so many come out of prison and offend again, and the folks here are actually more interested in why they are doing it in the first place. The majority of people do it because they have a drug habit to feed, and by shoplifiting they get to pay for that habit. Many shop owners here are disgusted at the lack of prison sentence that c...

I remember when the London Bombings happened, a friend of mine got on a bus a few days later. Looking at her you would presume she is Muslim, even though in fact she is mixed race. She had just finished work and was on her way to the gym. She had her gym bag with her. Not a suspect looking bag or anything. She said she got so many odd looks off people, and she had no idea why. People were looking at her suspiciously, and watching her every move. She really didn't have a clue why. It was only af...

I have a bit of a pet peeve. Well I have a few, but this is one of my big ones. I think that I have blogged about this before. I remember when the election was on here. I made sure that I read about all of the parties, so I knew what they all stood for, and so I could make an educated decision on who I would like to run this country. I took into consideration the things that I would like to see happen, and what direction I would like to see this country go in. I thought about it and realised th...

Scotland Yard has said they have discovered a plot to blow up flights from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale". There was a plan to detonate hand luggage on as many as 10 aircrafts. 21 people were arrested, and they believe to have caught the main players. There are huge delays at all UK airports. The threat level in the UK is now critical, which is the highest it can possibley be.  Which means "an attack is expected imminently and indicates an ext...

I watched a television documentary last night that was about the Muslims that are living in Britain today. There is 1.8 Million Muslims here. This show was digging into just what they wanted, and what would make them happy living here. I guess the free education and healthcare just isn't enough. They did a survey that interviewed over 1000 Muslims from all over England. They interviewed many on their own, and the programme basically told you what they had found out and showed some of these inte...

Pretty soon I won't be able to wipe my arse without first asking the permission of someone from google. I tell you that company is planning world domination, and it isn't far off. I was reading an article today on my beloved BBC website (someone told me I was sad for having that as my homepage the other day, but what do they know, their homepage is some porn site!) and it was regarding google putting the boot in on unsafe websites. Now when you do a search on google, and they provide links,...

I wonder how many women dream of having children when they are younger. Of getting married and living happily ever after. When we are children, little girls generally play with dolls, and drink imaginary cups of tea in their imaginary houses, and little boys run off and get dirty, and find trouble. It's just what kids do. I would also say that many women reach a certain stage in their lives where they want to have a family and have children and look after them, and many are also willing to put ...

I remember my birthday from last year well. I was in Cyprus on holiday with family and friends, it was a great time. A time I won't forget. Just over a week later I flew home, on July 7th. I flew in really early in the morning, and was really tired, so I got home, and slept. Until about 2pm. When I woke up, I put the news on, and there it was all over the news. Devastation. That is what people had wanted to cause, and by god had they succeeded. Terrified, innocent people, just going ...

I read this article today Link Why are people so offended by nudity? Is it not a natural thing? Especially when you are exercising that right in your own garden, and you are only trying to get a tan. Is it really that offensive to someone who is looking in YOUR garden because you are naked? I could understand if you was walking down the street butt naked, or you was dancing around like a mad person in your garden, and your nakedness was just to get at people or to annoy them. But su...

Sometimes it shocks me to get a kick to the teeth and an instant reminder that the world we live in, just isn't a nice place. I'm not ignorant, and I know there are evil people out there, but when you aren't faced with it on a daily basis you do get a certain level of ignorance surrounding you regarding the evil that some people practice. Maybe the words I am using are to strong, and people reading this will have to forgive me. As I am not American I am not always aware of the news and the...

The Paper is rarely full of happy news. Especially concerning recent events. I picked up the paper today, and was faced with this article; SECRETS OF CRUEL MR WEIRD Jan 4 2005 He's the son of a war hero, he spends hours on the internet, he wears dark glasses at all times.. and he sent 35 hoax emails to British disaster families By Rod Chaytor THE email hoaxer who told worried relatives their loved ones had died in the Asian tsunami was behind bars last night as hi...

I love Christmas. With a passion. Obviously it isn't good now, because I am an adult and I can't enjoy it as I did when I was a kid. I still enjoy the build up. The shops getting all festive. The kids getting all festive. The parents groaning. It is all in the spirit of things. Madisons Dad doesn't want her believing in Santa. Apparently it is the first lie, parents tell their children, and as soon as she asks he will be informing her he doesn't exist. He wants her to know he bought...

A car bomb killed at least 16 people and injured more than 50 in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad on Monday. US leaders and the interim Iraqi government have both insisted elections scheduled for next January will still go ahead, though they may not go ahead in every part of the country. King Abdullah of Jordan is against this, and says it will be impossible to hold elections in the current state of chaos that is going on there. So these are the questions that comes to mind.... Can el...

I am currently reading a book that tells its story based around the 1970's. The book isn't important, it's the 1970's that are important, not because of anything significant that happened, but because of the comparison of how we live today. Sure, there was no computer games, no mobile phones, technology was no where near as forward as it is today. I could barely understand the language used in this book. The language that people used to interact with each other. The conversation was tota...
