....and yet views like this are still printed in national newspapers....

Absolutely astonishing that this was allowed to be printed.

Charlie brooker sums it up perfectly...

Standards? Not sure how any woman could write for them and keep any friends? They talk non-stop about over skinny celebs and how "real women" cant keep up...then wrote this about demi more (wh0's pushing 50) "The actress, who turns 47 next month, was attending a book launch party in Los Angeles on Monday when she flashed a smile that betrayed prominent crow's feet and a wrinkled nose."

Lots of my clients read it so always have a flick through...leaves me staggered every time.

It never ceases to amaze me that some of my more intelligent friends (usually female, but incredibly the odd male as well) read these sorts of things about celebs and appear to give a s**t......

Would love to be in on a meeting at the Mail...how does it work? One assumes they have a whole series of pap shots from the weekend and they just plod through them looking for a story....someone sees Demi more looking like a seriously hot 40 something and says "hey, lets point out her nose is wrinkled despite having had cosmetic surgery...that will make our ugly readers feel good" I expect there's more common sense spoken at the office of Heat...or Nuts for that matter!

I can't belive that 2009 has been an almost complete waste of time, I will look back at a lost year.

Now that is depressing, roll on 2010.

Unless the Bad Religion were right...

parched, cracked mouths, empty swollen guts
sun-baked pavement encroaches on us
haves and have-nots together at last
brutally engaged in mortal combat
10 in 2010
10 in 2010

what kind of God orchestrates such a thing?
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
ten billion people all suffering
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
truth is not an issue just hungry mouths to feed
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
forget what you want, scrounge the things you need
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010

10 in 2010
10 in 2010

happy and content it can't happen to you
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
fifteen years we'll think of a solution
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
it won't just appear in one day
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010
for ten in twenty-ten we're well on our way
10 in 2010, 10 in 2010

10 in 2010

like piercing ear darts, I heard the news today
10 billion people...coming your way
